I was just about to buy the Dimond2 from Expansys UK last night. Yesterdays price was £384 but today its gone up to £410....now whats all that about, didnt think they were open or operated on sundays?!?
Guys where would be the best place to buy a Sim Free TD2 in the Uk? without having to get a contract, even though that might be the cheaper option really dont want another contract.
I know devicewire were giving away a free car kit but not anymore :-(

I ordered mine from New York, received it in two business days & paid a total of 366.00 EUR. Not sure if the price went up though?
thanks mate.....devicewire are currently doing free delivery and at £395 seems to be the cheapest!
unless someone knows of anything better?!?
mobilephonesdirect have them for £372.99 + about £4 p&p but not getting stock till 7th April
or Insight have them for £379.549 + about £10 p&p
They're the best I've seen looking around.

Do you mean £366.00 Pounds? I got mine from there for £357. But since we live in the US we don't pay the VAT taxes.
Clove has it for £393.30 inc VAT.

Expansys don't have them in stock. Just cancelled the order with them.

I've got one for sale in the Marketplace and would be willing to go less than my original asking price there in case anyone is interested.
Thanks.
Play.com
Go to play.com the phone costs £399.00
Then go to www.topcashback.co.uk, register on the website and then search play.com. It's a website that provides cashback on internet purchases from major retailers and its all legit.
Purchase the phone from play.com through topcashback and you get 3.5% cash back on mobile phone purchases and the cost works out at £385 plus free delivery. The cash back is payble in about 2 months. That's how I got mine.
Btw topcashback is a great website I use it for all my internet purchases and to date I've got about £60 in cash back. Oh and no I don't work for them lol.
bro www.handtec.co.uk it's secure shop? anyone have buyed from their ?
Got mine for £ 316.61 ex VAT from Amazon.co.uk free delivery but I didn't have to pay VAT as I'm in the Channel Islands, including VAT it was £ 364.10 with free delivery still one of the cheaper options. Shame they are now charging closer to £ 400 inc VAT. It went up £ 28 since I bought mine last week.
Got mine (Sim Free) from www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk
T-Mobile Combi 25 12 month contract + £121.99 = £421.99 over 12 months including 150 minutes & 150 texts each month.
hey guys,
I'm from canada, where the nexus 1 has not been released, so I found a person who's selling a 1 week old nexus one for 625 dollars. Is it a bargain or what?
Anything less that the £420 i paid in total for mine i'd consider a bargain
£420 = $636 USD
$655 Canadian

Is that cheaper shipped than you can get it retail? Not sure what sort of duty you pay having it shipped into Canada.
lol, it got sold missed it
Order it yourself using this:
http://www.demailbox.com/
It'll cost you their fee (probably about $10), whatever shipping method you choose to canada and canadian tax.
You won't pay US tax, nor US shipping since its free. So it'll be $528 + $10 + shipping + tax
Which is only $10 more than it would cost you if google did ship to canada!
There are loads of other 'virtual US' mailbox services you can use. Just be carefull to choose one in a state that doesnt have US sales tax, or you'll pay US tax AND canadian tax.
I'll be getting this phone with in the next month, but I was curious what outlets you guys are aware of that are selling the phone.
I saw it on amazon 2 weeks ago for $900.00. Today its around $700, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anywhere with even better deals.
It's a long shot I know, but I figure it is worth asking. Thanks
I would like to know this too. Seems the 'Hands Down Cheapest Place to Buy' thread is dead
Every day I scour XDA, Google, Ebay, etc looking for prices. I'm in Canada. With taxes,etc I think I'm looking at about $800 more or less (can anyone confirm that?). I think after Christmas I may go for this price but ideally I'm looking to pay about $700 more or less total. Then I'm worried about screen issues or a dead pixel which happened with the Nexus One I ordered from the States so I don't really want to ship it back overseas if this happens which it may judging by other threads...
So I'm looking for it to come down about another $100 but dont know if/when this will happen.
And ideally would like it to be released in Canada or even the US so I don't have to get it shipped which may lower that cost? But don't know if or when that will happen.
Then there is the fear that Samsung will discontinue it and I'll never get one or the prices will shoot up or something?
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/5504/samsung-galaxy-note--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-
About $670 without VAT. From what I've seen in other threads, it doesn't apply if you're outside the EU. I think that might take the cake as the cheapest?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...RDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322262246&sr=8-1
Also Amazon has a couple different sellers with the SGN in stock. Around low 700-750s. Most of these are in the US which would be better in case of a defect.

I ordered mine from HandTec when they had it listed briefly for £418.99 plus £14.99 shipping, for a total of £433.98, (which PayPal converted to $697.46), but HandTec has put the price back to £434.90 + shipping since I ordered. May still be the best price, however.
OTOH, Amazon now has a Prime 2-day shipping seller for $739. I'd pay the extra $40 or so bucks to have Amazon peace of mind if I had seen a price that good 4 days ago.

The new issue with handtec is that fedex will charge you 30 $ 1-2weeks after u get the phone
So because I'm in Canada I'm looking at around $800
But if I was in the US or UK I'd be looking at around $700

Hands Down Cheapest...
Well I still think Clove.co.uk is the best place to buy at this time simply because they're including a matching Samsung OEM Flip Case free! Also, being a commodity and having the price fluxuate by the hour (literally) keep checking MobileCityOnline.com too!
These two places at one point during the day can hit anywhere from $699 - $729 at the absolute lowest. But keep in mind Clove.co.uk INCLUDES the free Samsung OEM Flip Case. For some that's a deal maker plus most other outlets are selling this same flip case for $65 on average.
That is why if you catch Clove on the lower end of price fluxuation it's such a good deal. You won't go wrong choosing either one of these retailers that's the good news. The only possible bad news is at what price you'll end up paying for your Note.
Anyway you do it - your going to LOVE THIS PHABLET!
Abso - ****ing - lutly love it... quote me on that too.
Happy Hunting boys and girls.

Charge $30 for what? FedEx hasn't charged me anything in the States for ordering from Handtec.
By far cheapest place to buy this phone is from India.
You get this phone for about US$ 615-620 range which includes official Samsung flip cover in the package.
If there is significant interest from people in states or UK, some of you guys can get in touch with some ebay.in sellers with good reputation and request him for shipping quote and get him to create a special thread for you guys.
Last time around with SGS2 couple of my mates from US requested a seller from ebay india this way and got him to create a private listing for them and got their SGS2.
Or if you guys trust someone from India around here in these forums, get him to purchase phones and paypal the funds to him.
Note is significantly cheaper here than anywhere else from what I have seen online.
DWI have the Note for $635 Australian this weekend and if you use the code LIKEDWI you get free priority shipping.
www dwidigitalcameras com au
These are shipped from Hong Kong, no idea if they are actually in stock or sourced once the order has gone through.
I ordered one on Friday, seeing $635 was my crumbling point and i couldnt resist anymore.
expansys USa $100 off GNote for net delivered $695
Use code BFNOTE during checkout and the price of the black GNote drops from $794.99 to $694.99 with free shippiong to USA address.
Hope that helps

that is a very expensive contract.
Especially taking into account the low amount of minutes and data you get.
Also paying £200 for the phone on top of the £720 is a big slap in the face...
return it and get a 'bigger' contract for less and also only pay a max. of £50 for handset

Great price for the Note from a dealer here in the US. Thanks!
Also don't forget to combine the 2% cashback for Expansys-USA through Fatwallet making it $681.

Darn! Can only select New Zealand or Australia for shipping.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
I had a dream last night I was using my GNote & loving it... maybe the universe is trying to tell me to just order the darn thing

Not sure if this will help you but I ordered my N7 2013 from Amazon and shipped it via ExCaliberPC to South Africa. They do international shipping and it arrived at my door in 5 working days. I did however pay $250 for the 16GB WiFi, plus $40 tax from Amazon's side, then South African customs pegged $50 more onto the cost total say $340), but this will be less for you in Mexico I think. All in all they have excellent service and tracking, so if you're eager like me, find the 16GB N7 2013 on Amazon and choose to buy it from ExcaliberPC if you want it shipped to you.

For me, I'll be most likely getting mine from ebay seller never-msrp who is located in US and imports the phones.
http://stores.ebay.com/Never-MSRP/_i.html?_dmd=2&_nkw=xperia&rt=nc&_ipg=192
There is a thread about the seller in the Z2 forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777998
I'll wait and see what Sony is asking on their site. Possibly go the eBay route, Amazon, expansys, or Clove. Currently clove is taking pre-orders at ~$610 USD including shipping, eBay is about $630.
Amazon is my first choice for purchase, or the sony store, then finally ebay
Credit Card points on amazon + prime = shweet
Importing for me!
I got my Sony Xperia Z1 from http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact last time and had zero issues getting it on time and they also do bundles too.
I plan to get the Z3 Compact from them once they get them in stock mid Sept 2014. imo totally worth it since the imported versions usually have nearly all 3G/LTE bands needed too.
I might buy it from ebay. Ebay sends me offers for 4X ebay bucks offers once in a while, which is essentially 8% off.
Looking for the green version, but apparently only http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/sony-xperia-z3-compact/monthly?colourCode=GREEN has it for preorder and they don't export

I placed a preorder on expansys. they have not priced it yet. I will wait and see the price and decide whether to cancel it.!
Good catch, thanks
is that expansys green for sure the 5803?
Pre-ordered a white Z3c from Handtec.
Quick question: Does importing this to U.S. mean this is a "grey market" device and has no warranty at all?
Clove has it for 500 USD including shipping!
Have anyone ordered from them? Did you have to pay customs duty?
Handtec has it for the same price, and the shipping is a little cheaper.

For us US buyers we dont pay VAT so it is 290 pounds + shipping. Shipping is cheaper at handtec.

I looked at clove FAQ here.

See the section " Can I remove VAT from my order"
It says "Customers outside of the EU are not charged VAT on any order."
