Hi,
perhaps one of you could help me.
If any one got TF810 from a UK shop - could you send me serial no of the device?
I would like to check with Asus Poland what sort of warranty is given to such device.
TF810 sold in Poland (more expensive) are covered with 2 yr of warranty - Amazon says product is covered with 1 yr...
Asus Poland is willing to check if UK product in Poland would have 1 yr or 2 years or anything but they need serial no first and that one I can not get without buying device .
Secondly - did your UK purchased or Amazon UK purchased TF810 came with leather case for tablet?
Amazon says it is not included in the package....
UK warranty is one year.
Only PC World has stock.
Yes you do get a leather like case and keyboard. Price is UKP699.99. Good value.

Thanks.
I already bought one in Poland.
Almost the same price but warranty is 2 years - funny as it is all EU and we got much better deal.

hey guys, I have been wanting an Xperia for a while and I finally have enough money to buy one but I was just wondering where was the best place (located in the United States) to buy one? I am on T-Mobile USA so 3G doesn't matter, an X1i will be perfectly fine. I am trying to avoid the 700-800 dollar premium price as I have seen many for 600-650 new.
The best place atm in my opinion is...
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1234846501&sr=8-1
Just a question though, do ALL xperia's come with a 4GB MicroSD? Amazon doesnt specify what the package contents are. I can only be sure of the phone,manual,ac adapter,etc...
ebay would be your best bet. i saw "experia x1" goes around $640ish with free shipping... they are all x1i
place to buy x1
I bought mine on craigs list for 500. People are selling them cause they need the cash.. The guy had it listed at 600. He took 500 without any question.
I love hard eco times
ah I have been looking on craigslist for weeks! No one has an xperia for sale in my area (Sacramento, California)....
if the international versions do not have US warranties, how will the warranty work? I'm sure there has to be some kind of warranty in place.
oops ...mods please delete
yoou should be able to find it cheaper from
uk ebay
handtec
clove
shipping may be more expensive than you think

Hi,
Is it true there is no two year global warranty if I buy galaxy note outside UK (or Europe) now ???
Because I ordered note from negrielectronics and it was shipped from Hong Kong.
If it it true, I would sell and receive the other one which I ordered through UK website.
Thanks in advance.

In order to qualify for Samsung's global warranty two conditions must be met:
1) The device is purchased in its country of intended sale.
2) The device is purchased from an authorized Samsung retailer/reseller.
Should it need service, you'll have to ship it back to the UK. Once it's received, Samsung will ask for a receipt showing the purchase in the currency of the country of intended sale and/or a credit card receipt. They also know which serial numbers were dispatched to which resellers. They frown on grey market sales and are very strict about warranty claims on international devices. There are cases in the SGS2 forum where warranty service was denied because both 1 and 2 above weren't met. Many resellers claim the warranty is in effect but, unless both conditions above are met, it's simply not true. I did a lot of research on this before I bought my ISGS2 in May and it's the reason I just bought a 3G G-Tab from the UK.
does this cover anything more than dead on arrival kind of hardware problems?

It covers all manufacturers defects for two years. No matter where you buy it, a reputable seller should/would make good on DOA issues.
Hello, I'm about to do a trip in Vietnam in december, and I just found this website :
http://www.vatgia.com/home/quicksearch.php?keyword=galaxy+tab+10.1
The wifi only version is sold around 9,500,000.00 VND (450$) wich is really cheap for where I live (France).
I wonder if the unit sold in asia can be set in french or english language, and also if there is any internationnal warranty ??? ...

They're pretty cheap in the US too. I actually got a deal on mine when it launches (yeah, go figure...). Paid $429 for a brand new 16GB.
To be honest I would not by it personally.
If your tab will get a fault (touch the wood), sending to Vietnam might be quite a problem...

in canada i bought mine with a sim card with a 3 yrs data plan.
the result : Tab 10.1 4G+wifi 16GB 349$ woot!!
In fact I was looking for a replacement of my galaxy tab 7.0 and I thought the new Samsung would be the best choice. I hadn't taken a look at the tablet market from the day I bought my old galaxy tab. It looks that there are plenty of choices with other brands for less cheaper ! The acer iconia 500 and the asus transformer are in my range of prices, so I'm currently deciding for one of them ...
I'd sooner buy local, theres been time I needed to take faulty items back.
I have a friend coming over from HK next month & was thinking of asking him to get the wifi version Gtab 7.7 for me. He told me that Broadway sells it for HK$4088. Anyone here from HK know of somewhere to get it cheaper?
Thanks
Yrah, im interested in that too, just i need gsm version

The retail price for 3G version and wifi (16GB) should be $5,088 and $ 4,088 HKD.
3G version included a 16 GB micro sd card~~
A colleague came back from HK sporting one she picked up at the Airport Duty Free, apparently for a very good price (don't have details now). Might want to consider that. Said that it was the best impulse buy she'd made for a long time.

This is correct. I bought mine in HK 2 weeks ago and all major stores use the same price; I got mine at Fortress.
My cousin doesn't suggest buying from the grey market, and I echo that excellent advice.
I bought mine in NYC about a week after it was released and paid $750 or something.
I have just brought at new one, the price is
Tab 7.7 (3G) : HK$4680 with 16g SD card
Tab 7.7 (Wifi only) : 3680
Mine was 4200 RMB in Shanghai, 16 gig 3G
Check http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=134460&hw=h&ps=star . Address of the shops is usually at the bottom of each listing. You can just search on google maps using them. So the price is in general around 470 USD (including 1 year warranty).
you can buy a wifi version 7.7 @ HK$3500 @ a shop called
A Grade
Lower Ground, (near escalator)
Golden shopping center
Sham Shui Po , Kowloon , HK

In HK there as 2 ways of buying electronic goods. From authorised retailers where you generally pay rrp but get the benefit of full manufacturer warranty & the security of knowing the item is legitimate.
The 2nd way is from unauthorised resellers (the grey market) where the same item generally costs considerably less than rrp. The main negatives of this are no warranty except for the token one the reseller gives you, depending where the item was sourced it may not have menus in the language you require & most importantly legitimacy of the goods in that they may be factory seconds, stolen (rare), certain included accessories may have been taken out prior to sale, etc.
When I lived in HK a few years I bought 90% of technology items from grey market & only ever had one serious problem.
As you are not resident in HK I would go grey market you'll save a lot of $$$s and any warranty would only apply to HK only, but make sure you inspect THE actual tab you are getting making sure that everything supposed to be in the box is in there, turn on the tab making sure it works & inspecting it for any damage.
Best place to go for these sort of items in Kowloon side is Mongkok -Sin Dat Centre or Sham Shiu Po - Golden Centre. If you are nearer Hong Kong Island side then Wan Chai Computer Centre. I used spend hours in those places.

Thx again for your well explanation.
I found the places you mentioned above on Google Map but not Sin Dat Centre. I found Sin Tat Plaza. Is that it? I will be on Kowloon side on Canton street so I should be able to take a quick MTR to Mongkok. I love trying to find my ways around in Hong Kong.
Thx in advance
Canton Road is the main tourist area of HK. Lots of electronics shops around there that have the signs that say tax free but don't be tempted to buy there, big rip off, HK doesn't have sales tax.
One more thing before you seal the deal don't be shy to ask for freebies such as case & screen protector. If you do get a screen protector ask them to put it on for you. Don't know how they do it but it will be much better than you doing yourself. But if they don't do it in your presence make sure you make a note of the serial # before they take it away.

You guys are great here with all these awesome tips. So forget about Nathan street nearby right?
Thx in advance
Nathan Road is long...from where you will be nearer the the waterfront its the tourist part so no go. The further you walk up you get to the more local areas from Jordan - Yau Ma Tai - Mongkok - Prince Edward.
By the way the main authorised dealers would be Broadway, Fortress & Chuen Yuen. I think you'll find the rrp from these dealers is HK$4088 for the wifi version. Mine was bought from Fortress with free screen protector & a neoprene pouch. I have friends & relatives that come & go over regularly so if I ever need to use the warranty they can do it for me.
The cheapest my friend found for wifi version was HK$3680 but I heard they are as low as HK$3500.
When I was in Hong Kong in January I was told that there are 3 models:
1. International Wi-Fi
2. International Wi-Fi/3G/GSM phone
3. Hong Kong Wi-Fi/3G (Chinese language only)
Is this correct? For me English International Wi-Fi of course.
Thx in advance
