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.
Suddenly this morning the Note was in stock at expansys usa with a big price drop from 950+ to 790. There were 7 left when I just ordered mine. I think the return policy is best here and also I remember reading something about warranty honored with this seller but not sure. I grabbed it asap thinking it would sell out quick.
Looks like their OOS. Can't find it on their site.
negri has it for $815. wonder who the better seller is?
all of these prices are higher than handtec... dont know why you would pay the premium price considering that handtec overnight ships to the US for only 740 USD
Shipment will be from usa---so no chance of customs issues--see other thread for occasional such issues. Also I believe that expansys will help with warranty issues through their UK office if you need to use the samsung warranty--as per other threads on other phones. So that is why I was more comfortable buying expansys even though it was $50 or so more. I am new at this and may be wrong but this is my impression.

I didn't see galaxy note on their website. maybe they are sold out?
here is the link:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-3-android-tablet-221966/
I think Expansys post out from their French location. That's where mine came from to the UK even though I ordered through the UK site.

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.
Does anyone know if by December 18th Amazon or Expansys will sell the Nexus 4 16GB? (it can be other trusted companies too) I'm going to the US, fort lauderdale, florida hopefully by the 22 of december and stay for about 4 days so I'm hoping I can buy it from The Bahamas (where I live) and get it shipped to the hotel I'll be staying in or fedex's office.
I know Google Play is selling it but will I get it before four days? This is because I'm not allowed to buy it from The Bahamas so I'll have to buy it as soon as I arrive to the US What was your experience guys? Buying the Nexus 7 or other smartphones or tablets from Google Play.. how long did it take? Thanks in advance
p.s- I can pay for expedited shipping.
It should get there before 4days. Google stated it will ship that same day and its 2 day shipping.

Here's your shipping info http://www.androidauthority.com/google-ships-nexus-4-nexus-10-starting-november-13-no-pre-orders-130335/
Not sure about amazon, but I thought it was on the expansys site already? If it isn't they must have taken it off

Thanks and I must have checked expansys pre-orders everyday for like two weeks and I haven't seen it every time I searched it...
How long did it take for the other nexus devices to get to amazon? I'd really rather purchase from there even if I have to wait a bit because of the 30 day return policy, as opposed to Google's 15 day and restocking fee nonsense. (just in case, you know?)

Imagine how mad every carrier/phone company would be if AMAZON started to sell Nexus4 for $350. I don't think it's likely.
I doubt Amazon will sell. Best bet is a reseller posting it on Amazon but for more than play store as it wouldn't make sense otherwise. I think this was the case with the gnex as well.

Thanks for all the reply guys. I really hope I can get it. Did anyone get their N4 yet? How are you doing with it?
Unlocked Nexus 4 is sold at Amazon right now!
Hi good news everyone, now Amazon is selling Nexus 4, both 8 and 16GB models. And also Nexus 7 (not the 3G model by the way). This news actually just arrived a while ago because i haven't found any site reporting this.
And the good thing is, Amazon has many sellers selling Nexus 4 in many different price tags.
Find this on Google "Unlocked Google Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Sold at Amazon!!"

There isn't really. I agree with mchlbenner about buying from eBay. It's safer because you can pay with PayPal, and eBay staff is pretty helpful when it comes to bad sellers.
The next best alternative is buying through Banggood or Gearbest with PayPal. After that, Geekbuying and often, LightInTheBox fit here as well (as long as you pay with PayPal).
Aliexpress is so-so. There are some good sellers and plenty of bad sellers. But the prices can be pretty enticing and you'll find more models there. But you can't use PayPal, you have to use your credit card, which makes contesting a transaction difficult after the sale. Also, Aliexpress free shipping sucks. Also, cashback websites like TopCashBack tend to post higher cashback rates for Aliexpress over other stores.
I've personally had great experiences buying from both Banggood and Gearbest. Gearbest refunded me for expensive headphones I never got, and Banggood allowed me to cancel my x722 order and re-order in a different currency. I'm not so sure about Geekbuying or LITB. As for reliable Aliexpress sellers for LeEco phones, I don't know any. I do know reliable sellers for Xiaomi phones though (taken from reddit.com/r/Xiaomi).
oh thanks
