Telstra 850 where to buy

Can all the people who bought one post where and how much you paid for it. so others can purchase. ive searched google but all i get is the regular version .
thanks

Purchased a few phones and other things from here and can say they provide an easy and fast transaction, though dont know about International warranty and just a small word of caution Techoni are another large retail site but their customer service is bloody awful to say the least!

I bought mine of Ebay.
I wouldn't recommend using ebay if you're new. But if you have experience with Ebay then buy your phone from there by all means.
Recently I've seen Touch HD's go for about $900 AUS b.new in box on ebay.
That's way cheaper than any retailer that I know of.
Hell i got my Telstra one cheaper than any retail price here in Canada (all of them are selling the T8282 version rather than the T8285).

Bought mine on ebay as well. www.ebay.com.au This is an Aussie ebay site specifically to Australia. You still need to verify that it is an telstra touch hd you are getting. The T8285 and not a UK or Asian T8282 version. Let them know were you are from and if they will sell it to you from outside of Australia. I checked with five different sellers and three would sell to me in the US. I ended up getting one for $1070 AU dollars or around $730 US dollars. I ended up paying around $55 US dollars for Fedex priority international shipping and It got here in about 4 days.
Here is a link for one on ebay.au for $1000 AU which is about $686 US and it is a 850 mhz/T8285 version.
Again, a lot of the touch hd's on the Aussie ebay site are still T8282 UK versions. You have to do some digging to find out which one it is.
Love my telstra touch hd.

I bought mine from personaldigital9 on ebay and paid a little under $900 for it. I got received it in about three days super fast shipping. Very good seller.

Telstra
Directly from Telstra $1098

I also bought mine from personaldigital9, but i called and ordered over the phone... mine arrived in 3 days as well and is working great!

As a Corporate Customer Telstra give us discount pricing over the full retail pricing so yes our outright price is less than the advertised price of $1499.

I bought a Telstra T8285 from an Australian eBayer. He is selling brand new phones for $1000 AUD (around $800 USD) right now. The price is still negotiable. The guy responds to your questions nicely and quickly, and the shipping is fast too. If you are interested, please send me email at [email protected]

Buying 10.1 from States - international warranty?

Hi all,
I can get my hands on one in the States - but does anybody know if the 1 year warranty is international?
Thanks,
Keith.

I believe it will be a US warranty.

can you buy an aftermarket warranty? I bought one from squaretrade, that's probably US only, but there must be something for your country.

I bought mine in a US Best Buy and they assured me that the warranty was valid (with them rather than Samsung) in the UK Best Buy stores.

There is no international warranty. I've emailed Samsung and they said that warranty will only apply to country that you purchased it from

I live in the uk and recently brought a 10.1 tab back from the states. I had a problem 3 days in and contacted samsung. The info i got was that they may be able to fix it in the uk but you'd have to pay for it so i ended up sending back to the US. Parts and labour are covered but postage isnt. Cost me £16 to send it and about £30 for them to send it back.

I was recently in the US and I was told by Best Buy USA that if I purchase their warranty/protection it is good internationally. I did not enquirer further or check on a price.
I decided to wait on my purchase until it becomes available in Canada so I can get the warranty.
If GT 10.1 is purchased from Costco USA you have 90 days from purchase date to return it to ANY Costco. That's a possible option.

Sorry to hijack. Useful info on the warranty. Am heading to Vegas next month, would I be able to just walk in to a Best Buy and pick up a SGT - as in stock wise there is no issues over in the US? Would that be the cheapest place to pick one up?

You might want to order online from bestbuy.com for store pick-up (international orders now accepted). This will ensure the item is in the store should you decide to go. Store stock can fluctuate, no guarantees there. Don't forget to order the USB adapter if you think you wil need this feature. It would not hurt to fire off an e-mail to bestbuy to check on their international warranty.
Bestbuy will usually price match, so if you do find an advertised price they will match it. The only sale I have seen is from Staples and they offer an on-line or in-store coupon.

US Warranty
Here is the Samsung US site warranty page (32GB model).
SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/warranty/GT-P7510MAVXAB
I could not find anything regarding an intenational warranty.

Hi. I bought a 32gb wifi tab in Vegas 3 weeks ago. Love it but it now has the newtons rings problem. I called Samsung support uk who promptly said my tab wasn't covered under the uk warranty.
Then called the us warranty service centre who said they would fix it but could not give me a service code as I didn't have a us postal address. They then gave me the international warranty telephone number but haven't tried it yet.
Does anyone have any ideas to get a replacement / fix?

That's odd, i called samsung support in the US and they can't put you on their system as it can't handle uk addresses. If they accept it's a problem then ask for a service order number. You will then need to call their warranty provider - a company called intellisol. Quote them the service order number and send it off to them. You cant do anything without the order number from samsung tho.

Samsung singapore is quite still clear that Samsung Singapore does not support international warranty. They specified this several times on their FB page.

Sent an item
Well I have a US tablet and im in UK and just sent it in for repair for the newton rings on the screen.
I am quite sure they will send it back to me unrepaired saying that it is a US device and I should send to the US - but in the meantime I have sent.
The US Support told me I should send there - but it is a lot of money to ship and they need a US address to return the goods whichis a bit of a nightmare.
Will keep people posted to see what happens.

I am from Australia and was on a recent trip to america, I purchased a Gtab 10.1 at Best Buy and they do have international warranties, it cost me 170$ for 2 years though =/

Reputable Online US dealers for SGS II

Anyone recommend a reputable online dealer that has the SGS 2 and at a competitive price?
Amazon and Newegg both have it around $575...
Anywhere else that is as reputable?

I got mine from expansys usa the first week they were out in UK and available in the US, you can save a few bucks and they are reputable in my book (this is my only transaction with them but you can read on your own)

a lot of us that bought the international SGS2, got it from Expansys-USA.com. worth a look.

If you buy the phone in the U.S. (from anyone, regardless of what they claim) it'll have no warranty as Samsung considers any product purchased outside its country of intended sale "grey market." Expansys-USA gets around that by sending the phone back to the UK for their U.S. customers should it need repair under warranty. You can also buy from Clove and Hantec in the UK as both ship to the U.S. It's $612 delivered from Clove right now and since it's purchased in the UK it retains the 2-year global warranty.

If not worried about warranty, then Amazon is pretty good. Also you can look at mobilecityonline.com from where I bought the white sgs2. You will get the new white sgs2 for $539 after $20 off coupon.

Expansys, my first order with them, but very happy with the transaction. Will use them for Galaxy Note.

Does mobilecityonline.com honor the warranty for an SGS II?
Or, is it only Clove and Expansys only?

I got mine from Expansys USA on June. Pretty quick delivery and no complaint about them.
I got my Sony X1 from Clove UK long time ago. Very good service and fast delivery too.
My friend brought one from Amazon recently but found it's being used (stated as new). So beware on for Amazon seller.

Great options mentioned so far. OP, if you are ok buying the locked AT&T version, it is $550 before taxes without contracts. This phone would probably be better "tuned" for the network, and would come with warranty.
P.S. sorry if my suggestion is too obvious

No. Technically, the phone bought at Expansys-USA doesn't qualify either. They get around that by shipping it to their branch in the UK should it ever need repair. If they go out of business (unlikely) your warranty would go with them as they're acting as an itermediary. The only way to get an "official" warranty is to buy the product from an authorized reseller in its intended country of sale.

Where to buy GT 7.7? and a few questions.

I'm having a lot of trouble locating one of these. It's currently out for AT&T correct?
Not on newegg or amazon.
For those of you using this as a phone as well.. could you give me feedback on how you like it? Do you use a bluetooth headset? If so, what brand/model?

Please take some time to read previous threads on this.

after doing a bit more research heres what i've found (cant post links bc im a new user):
ebay - 629.00 - 7 day return policy - 1 year seller warranty.
amazon - 659.99 - no warranty
not on any major sites (other than amazon) such as newegg and crutchfield, or bestbuy.
the ebay deal > amazon (obviously).
surprised its not sold by these major retailers... what gives?
also, its factory "unlocked" meaning it isnt carrier specific?

Negri - ~$580 with shipping
https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...gb-wifi-only-black-open-box.html#.T2n_38US1Ng
Craigslist
That's where I got mine at a ridiculously low price. $400 with a 2 yr square trade warranty. It was purchased from Negri.
I've seen other listings on Craiglist as well for lower than that Negri price.

OK.... IF you have AT&T already (smart phone with data), then you can get the International version of the tab. (6800)
AT&T and T-Mobile currently DOES NOT offer therse in there product line..
BUT They do work on those carriers..
.And the phone parts works too as well as internet, txt and mms messaging.
Verizon DOES carry them, but there is no phone capabilities built in . So no phone, txt or mms with Verizon
Here's a thread on where to buy in the USA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468325
The Negri link that maverick 777 posted is for the WI-FI version only..
That device WILL NOT give you phone, txt or mms capabilities.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525108
If you want the phone etc with using your existing sim card from your smart phone with data plan with AT&T or T-mobile...
Then you need to get the international version with quad band etc
So I just remove my AT&T sim card out of my smart phone and jam it in my 6800 tab and BAM!!! Now I have a 7.7 inch screem smart phone!!
As far as using it for a phone.. it's cool IMHO, but you'll read where others distain the look and feel of a 7.7 inch phone..
I get along with it just fine...

.good luck with your decision

i just read that negri isnt reliable. can someone who bought from there give insight?
edit: After reading the links, Negri is obviously reliable. There still wasn't a definite answer about the 'white' back and the 'silver/black' back. Any insight?

I'd say call Negri directly... may as well start at the source..
They're 800 number is in the web page..
I got mine there.. still waiting on the USA adapter for the charger though they promised it was in the mail twice now.
They should be able to tell you if they have any white ones..
Good luck
.

I believe that Negri lists white and silver models separately on their site (and they have different price). So you can order the one you want. When I was ordering, the white ones were back-ordered.

I bought my GT 7.7 (and a Nokia N9) from Negri and was very satisfied with both orders.

Negri Most Reliable
I bought both my Note and 7.7 from Negri. They seemed to have inventory before most, and always comfortable to buy a product from a Company in the U.S. (Las Vegas) They shipped same day and delivery exactly when they said. I will buy my Note 10.1 from Negri when available. Both units previously purchased were international, which is best if you want to spend the extra money.
My experiences allow me to highly recommend Negri as your source vendor.

Negri has the 6810 for only $498.50. Sucks I just paid $572.50 less than a month ago!

Has Anyone Bought the I9500 in the US?

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to ask that does anyone in the US got the I9500? If anyone of you do, please do let me know. I am waiting for some info on this before buying.

I ordered the I9500 from Negri Electronics. Waiting for shipping. What do you want to know?

Just wanted to know that what is the best place to get them and are they really shipping I9500's rather than unlocked I9505's. I looked up Amazon and Ebay. But the comments on the amazon one's are putting me off. And eBay.. somehow i just don't want to trust for something that worth $800.
Also needed to know a little about the warranty on this. The I9500 would come with a 1 year warranty by default, right?

Yes. Europe doesn't offer I9500, so the only way is to import from USA or other county. And yes, the warranty will be US 1 year warranty

I am willing to pay a little more up front because in the long run, it would be cheaper for me. I checked contract phones, and they are coming up to $120 a month for AT&T (unlimited talk/text + 3GB LTE). I can easily wrap it up in the in $60 by sticking with my AT&T prepaid. Plus i am not speed freak when it comes to internet. Most of the time am at home with Wi-Fi.
My only concern is warranty. Where do i get my issues fixed when i have an international version. I hope Samsung USA would be willing to take it in!

I got mine from Expansys which I can confirm is the 9500. Used them before a few times without any issues and returned a DOA to them a couple years ago without drama which was exchanged for another (same) unit. I'm not too worried about the warranty as a year is all I need and my credit card doubles it anyways. I have never had to use that warranty however so I cant claim to know how it plays out in that regard. I'm pretty sure its not going to be as easy as walking into a local carrier store and dropping the old broken phone on the counter and leaving with a new one.

I brought mine from ebay for 699 USD and posted out to Spain. LIke other buyers here from Europe the local version is the i9505. But the I9500 in my eyes was worth it. (Slightly faster and better battery) HSDPA 42.2 Mbps is fine for me and I dont have LTE where I live.
No issues, well apart from a spec of dust under the screen! I'm just going to put up with it I think, but have contacted Samsung Spain to see if anything can be done. No doubt they will tell me to deal with Samsung USA.

Well the price of Negri electronics are a little more reasonable, than cellhut.com and expansys.com.
