Right. I'm from Ireland so Play Store is a big nono. If I stick with the $249 plus US tax, it should cost me €230. The problem is most places around europe are listing it as €270, since we have much higher tax rates over here. My dad is currently in Seattle, (Bellevue, and/or redmond) and said that he could pick one up for me from a shop, as there wasn't enough time for an online order to a hotel. What places sell them? So far I know there's Game stop... and thats it? No Best buy and so on and so forth. I don't know most AMerican chain stores so don't know what websites to search.. thanks for your help!

Hello guys Im new to this Touch HD forum and I want one BAD...I found one Cheap from a company in China & I would like to know has anybody else bought one from China? Its unlocked and they said it will work with T-Mobile.
The best price I have heard on Touch HD is around $720 + Shipping to the US from resellers in UK. Nothing from China... if I were you, I will not throw away my money from a seller in a country where it is not released yet, and has a cheaper price.
Again, just my thought... Its your money and your deal.
I live in China. Tell me the name of the company and give a link and I'll check it out. My first impression though is no way. THe touch hd is not officially released here yet so the only way to legally get them is to have them shipped from Hong Kong and they are expensive ($800 US), so I doubt that some company in China would be getting them from abroad and then shipping them to you cheaper than someone like handtec who is getting them directly from HTC in Europe....
1. Like everything in life, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. If this chinese company is indeed reputable, then go ahead. But be warned with the risks involved in importing goods, you have to be prepared to assume all risks and liabilities (warranty, shipping problems, fraud, etc). From my view as of Dec 8, 2008, HTC Touch HD is still pre-order only in many shops and sells for about $800 to $900 due to high demand.
2. Unlocked GSM phones will work with any GSM carriers, that's the nature of being 'unlocked'. However, the downside is that they're usually not subsidized by the GSM carrier and thus more expensive. A trade off between flexibility and cost. For me, the flexibility of being able to use any GSM card when I travel abroad outweighs the cost.

define cheap? before shipping, mine was approximately $670.00 US from Clove Technology. even at today's exchange rate (around 1.50 dollars for each GBP), $700 from a reputable reseller is the best price you'll get. i've seen US retailers selling for as much as $840 and that doesn't include shipping!
Ok update ...Ive now Got a contact in the USA that I can get the phones from Cheap, and when I say cheap I mean under 400.00 shipped to your door.Im registered to get them wholesale...this is where Ebayers probably get them from to re-sell for a big profit .Im gonna be joining you guys soon I hope

There is a thread further down the page Buying from Mobiles.co.uk relating to buying from mobile
May be useful
thank you
but it didn't say anything about duties/taxes by customs
where can i find about that?
some ody plz answer me quickly
how much will the duty cost me ?
i have to order soon
I'm not sure about canada, but if I was buying from the us and bringing into the uk I have to pay import duty. The amount varies depending on the value.
Your best bet is too look on the canadian gov web sites for tax, or google a tax forum maybe
Hi there. I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't really find such a thread.
Coming back to the topic. I am thinking of getting Nexus 4 from US through my cousin who lives there. As I browsed the SHOP NOW page at Google play store, it showed the price $ 349.00 for 16 gb version. What I want to know is that:
- what will be the final price of the device including the TAXES & SHIPPING to Stanton, California?
- and as Google has mentioned a few countries where it will officially launch the device and people can order it online. Does it mean the actual product will ship from the US to (lets say) Australia? Which means the shipping will dramatically increase? Will it?
Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on it.
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone please reply
I can't answer you about US taxes, but when I bought my Nexus 7 direct from Google play (I'm in UK) they were dispatched within the UK. Well from Northern Ireland, but it's still technically a part of the UK. The delivery charge was £10, which is typical here in the UK. I'm sure they are dispatched locally if they are purchased within the officially released countries, or it wouldn't really make logistical sense for every individual order to be dispatched from the US worldwide.
So, if Australia was an official country, it would be dispatched from there, or somewhere close enough.

Appreciated. Thank you very much for your response.
As Makaijin has said before, it's not shipped from the US all over the globe but rather the local distribution centres. For the U.K. it's from the U.K. but here in Australia, stuff gets shipped from Singapore (it was for the Nexus 7 at least). Thank God Australia's an official launch country .
Ahan, Any idea about the TAXES one has to pay? As in, how much (tax) would one pay for this phone in the US?
and what generally are shipping charges in the US?
Going off the Nexus 7 @ $250 I paid $283 out the door. I believe California has 7-8% sales tax so that should be around $28 in tax plus I recall 2 day shipping on the Nexus 7 was $12. I'd say your out the door would be right at or just over $400.
Guys.Quick question. My friend just got to UK,he is new to shops and prices there. He asked me where he could get the N7 at a good price. I was helpless,when he did and hence my post here. XDA'ers in UK,help me out please.
Thanks.

It's pretty much the same price everywhere (except for a few places over-charging compared to the Google Play Store). This web page has a list of availability which is probably reasonably complete: http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-nexus-7-tablet
Some of the stores on that page are online only, but the majority have bricks and mortar outlets.

I figured out currys.co.uk but I wanted to know if there was any other site selling it at a lesser price.
Thanks anyway for the prompt reply. Appreciate it.
Argos is fairly good, got mine from there.
Also extremely easy to return to, no questions asked sort of place.
Check for currys voucher codes online...or Argos/HMV in store deals...Asda is aswell but 180-199 is usually the range anyways for 32 gb
Easy returns from stores

If you goto a Currys/PCWorld store then do NOT be fooled by their £20 off the 32Gb Nexus 7 because it's a con. Basically, it's £199, yet they say you can purchase ANY case (Their own wording) and get £20. Now if you can truly get ANY case then they sell £5 - £10 cheap phone cases so you get one of those and save £10 - £15, but it's not, it's buy any TABLET case and they start at £20. So you pay £20 and get £20 back, and their own proper Nexus 7 cases are £25, so you would be £5 out of pocket for a cheap plastic case.
This was in my own local super store, so yours may differ for offers + you might get a doofus serving you (like most Currys/PCWorld staff on commision) so you might be able to talk the talk.
You could also try a local Comet, they're shutting down their stores and they sell the Nexus 7, so you might see 20% off if you're lucky.
Good luck.
thank you guys..!!
Just seen my local 'Carphone Warehouse' has the 32Gb N7 for £195, they also had some cheap decent case/pouches from £6.
If there is a local Carphone Warehouse near you I would send your friend in there, hopefully they have stock left, and they are the cheapest for 32Gb N7 on the highstreet.
I agree with what John said, I ordered mine last saturday and by the monday or tuesday I had it £195 with free delivery too!
Got it ! Thanks!
Hello guys, how are you?
Does anyone know where to buy the S7 Edge Duos (G-935FD) in New York?
Thanks!
I don't think you can find it at any local stores in NY at this moment and if you were to you'd probably get it for a very high price. Best way is to order online from ebay (got mine from ebay) or buy from an Arab online store which is where the phone is currently available from.

But thanks a lot for the response! I will keep looking for it!

May I ask what's stopping you from buying it online from a place other than NY? I'm curious because buying online from someplace else would even save you paying taxes for it. Also you could get it from B&H which is NY based but they don't offer the Duos version as of right now.

Sure, my main concern is regarding the shipping time. I have a friend who is in NY right now and will be back to Brazil on April 5, and he said that he could bring the device.
I looked on Amazon and Ebay, and tried to contact sellers in hope that they could deliver the product in NY in a shorter time, but I didn't have success yet.
And thanks a lot daLareid, for all the attention, help and support!

Oh I understand now, some of the sellers on ebay might offer paid shipping which would meaning receiving the item faster. But if you can settle for a regular S7 Edge with 1 SIM then your best bet would probably be to have your friend buy it from B&H.
