Where are the best prices to purchase this? Primarily looking to use in China (China Mobile)
I know of one site in UK and another in Taiwan.
Any price conscious shoppers care to share?

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
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.
In Slovenia mobile provider do not selling Motorola phones. Posibility is,that providers will buy Nexus 6 from others sellers for retail price and sell it for huge price, like 800€ for 32GB phone. That's bad, because you can buy like G3 for 420€ (24x17,5€ contract)
How is with Motorola phones in rest of Europe? :cyclops:

Yo I would be careful out in Mong Kok or Golden computer arcades areas, you will be hard pressed to find an SD out there unless someone has bought some from the states.
Exy is what you would find as Korea is not far off from Hong Kong.
TBF my EXY was bought from my local dealer in SAI Kung off the east coast.
My whole family buys of one authorised dealer in that town for the last ten years no issues and no problems he even offers to buy back old tech at a fair price.
I can't guarantee you the prices I get, as he he is a family friend, but I can offer you his address and you can try and see what he has?
But like I said becarefull of the copy market.
I live in the UK and everytime I have any issues I take a picture of the reciept send it to Samsung UK as he is an authorised seller so the UK Samsung have dealt with my issues quickly without any hasstles so the international guarantee is good!
buy it at the airport. HKIA has a phone shop near the cafe / lounges.
the exynos version is far superior than the snapdragon.

Nah bro! Thx for the advice on mongkok and golden computer square! Was planning to go to mongkok to buy one but after seeing your advice and seeing that the fake one is the one that has n910f tag, i will be much more carefull when going there..
Btw thank you for the offer on the authorised dealer, but if i'm planning to buy the exy version i will be buying through expansys or other authorised shop. Thx!

Is there any price different between the shop at airport and other shop like fortress or expansys due to tax or duty free?
Was planning to buy the snapdragon one because more developer supports (it has cm12 already!). But might change my minds.. Thx for the reply.
Hello the airport is a safe option it would expect to pay a little more money.
The model of the phone would be SM-N910U same as the exynos 8 core unit SM-N910C.
I've not tried the snapdragon except in a shop and both are good but even everything I expect read maintains the exynos version is better considering its the primary handset used in Korea. I would expect people to pay about 7000k in HKD dollars or roughly U$900. Might be cheaper but don't know never bought one at an airport. But I got mine last year for 6500k so it should have dropped in price. Also look at the edge as it might be out by now.
The one being sold in fortress is the galaxy note 4 duos, sm-n9100 which is fine. It's pretty much identical to the regular snapdragon note 4, but just be aware which model you are purchasing.

I know for a fact that the Hong Kong Version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 use the Exynos SOC rather than the Snapdragon. As the model number for the Hong Kong Version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is SM-N910H.
The best place to get one would be in Fortress or Broadway as both of these store sell the official retail Hong Kong Version.
My only question is would the Hong Kong Version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 be Region Free?
Just wondering if anyone has used eGlobalCentral UK to order the Galaxy S7 edge (G935F) non-dual sim version?
Did it come with a UK charger? Their price is fantastic but I don't want to buy it if it comes with a european charger
Please see the below post for consumer information about this web shop, tldr; they are a bunch of scamsters, they will take your money and not deliver a product!

Yup, as the other post says, they're a bunch of scam artists. I've heard they resell used products as new, often with visible defects... Definitely use at your own risk!
If you're happy buying from abroad and are looking for a good price I'd stick with Gearbest. You can currently buy a OnePlus 6 from Gearbest for £330, FYI! :silly:
