Xoom at Staples for $399 ($499.98 - $100 coupon)

Staples has a $100 discount on any tablets and that makes the Xoom $399.
I had bought the Xoom from Staples when they only had $50 coupon and today they refunded another $50 when I showed the new coupon. Thy returned the previous purchase and sold it back to me at the lower price.

Thanks for bringing attention to this coupon zzxyz! I found the coupon over in the XDA_Developers Asus Transformer forum earlier this morning. I bought my TF over a month ago but I bought my Xoom at Best Buy 9 days ago when the price dropped to $499.00. I took the Staples coupon in to Best Buy and asked them if they could do anything for me. They handed me $106.65 in cash. Awesome! Xoom for $399.00 Thanks again for bringing attention to this coupon in our Xoom forum!

sweet. bought xoom at best buy last week for $499.00..think I'll try this and see if I can get some money back....

Crazy deal they got going on. You can get a Dell Streak 7 for $199. Not too shabby if you're on a budget.

I'm getting the xoom next week on friday (July 29th) after I cash my check. Spending all of my money on that thing.

picked mine up today and am loving it. Great price!

Is there a way to know where the Xoom was purchased or would you need the receipt?

You would need the reciept for staples. They also have 15% off all the tablet accessories at time of purchace and 25% back in rewards store wide (tablets and normal exclusions apply)
Also their accidental damage plans are being fulfilled with cash cards for store credit not refurbished...
Dell streak 200 with coupon
Xoom 400
Acer iconia 300
And more pretty slick
(Somewhat of a staples bias )

Just so everyone knows places that price match also are taking the coupon. I just picked up an Asus Transformer at HH Gregg for 399.99. They honored Staples coupon.
Try Best Buy as well
Edit: Make everyone's life a little easier.. See coupon below

I am debating get me first tablet from this deal. But having a hard time deciding if I should get the Xoom or the Asus Transformer.
Or should I wait to see whats coming in the next few months...

For sure you need a receipt, I just purchased mine last night!!!!

xoom!!! (You are on the xoom forum)
Great support from independent developers.
Honestly chances are you will be happy with either. I wouldn't stress too much. If you wait a couple of months what's to stop you from waiting a couple more months and then more and more.
There will Always be something around the corner that will be better, and I don't see anything coming soon that's would be worth waiting for.
Get one and start playing

STAY TUNED ! Just got my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 P6800 Baby in my Hands

Good lookin out. However I was on an Australian forum...you'll have to Google search Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 forum to find it but there were a few members that found Australian retailers selling below $500.
For you prospective US buyers, Negri so far has had the lowest price I've found (their price include shipping) and is in the $570 range. Still pricey.
But really not much more than the 8.9 and you get so many more features on the 7.7.
I'm ordering this tab this weekend....can't wait finally to have it in my hands!!!

Also ,if ordering from Negri ,put in the word "GIFT" in the coupon blank at check out and get another $30 off til 1/31/12 to make it $542 US with free shipping.
It was at my house in 3 days as they ship fast.
The part that Negri doesn't mention is it's the Hong Kong version and doesn't come with a US AC plug adapter.I already had one so no big deal for me.

Guess I should have clarified that I got the P6810 for that price. Just checked Negri and you are correct that the P6800 is about $100 more.

There are a few reputable sellers listing the 6800 on ebay now.

Hey, thanks for all the info ..I ordered a P6810 (WiFi only) from Negri today. Same price with the coupon at check out for $542 US w/free shipping. Great tip on the coupon, really appreciate the that!!
If this doesn't come with a US AC adapter where does one find one at?
Also since it's the Asian version, I guess it comes with Chinese language as the default? A setting change I presume at set up. However do you know if the keyboard will be in Chinese as well?
They say they are sending directly from Nevada, so I am in Florida right now...will see how long it takes.
For those of us with the WiFi only, an option you have is to get a personal "MiFi" hotspot. I got mine as a pay as you go device from T-Mobile. I can connect at 4G LTE speeds most of the time with my old tablet. I just top off the MiFi when I know I will be on the road.

Yes DO NOT buy from SimplyElectronics.. trust me.!
I had a US power adapter included with my purchase given to me by the cell dealer.
Also once the settings change has been made everything including the keyboard will switch to the selected language.

No seriously, just search the web and find us one guy who has already received his Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Simply Electronics! They claim to have stock since a few months but everything that I've read even recently, tends to show they don't have any in stock.

You'll just need a 2 prong AC cord to replace the big 3 prong one. They are like $3-$4 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1&_nkw=2 prong ac cord&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283
Like this....

ebay is the best place got mine for 6 bucks

If i order from negri would it be safe to use my credit card.

Why not buy here?

bye
with paypal, no risk

thats just wifi version

Thanks! I actually mentioned that being the Asian version of the 7.7 it would require a U.S, AC plug adapter. Negri said they would include it in the box with the tablet.
I got confirmation of the order, and confirmation of the shipping with a FedEx tracking number. I should receive the tab on Thurs 1/26. This is within the time expected for the "free" shipping option I chose when I ordered from Negri.
I also ordered the OEM Samsung case for the 7.7. Thanks for the recommendation on that vendor (http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/62515) it wwas the best price as well. Also got an order confirmation and shipping tracking order from them as well.

I ordered my original SGT 7" from Simply Electronics. They were the cheapest place at the time. I think I paid around $630 last year. Anyway, I received it very fast by DHL.
My only problem/concern was that they don't tell you that the item is coming to you from Hong Kong. I had a problem with one that I bought from eBay first that I thought was coming from the U.K. It had a lot of Korean Apps. I think that it had been flashed as the package came from Slovakia.
So, when I got the one from S/E, and saw that it also had a lot of Korean Apps on it, I contacted them and they said that they try to send version that are for the correct country. They also offer a one year warranty. The only problem was that I had sent both of my tablets to Samsung Repair Centre in the U.K. to have them flash it to the correct English versions(I bricked the first one by flashing the wrong CSC).
So, just from my experience, I didn't have any problems and had I not already sent it back to the U.K. to have them officially flash them(Yes, I do know how now , I could have sent it back to Simply Electronics and they would have sent me a U.K. version. So, I think they are pretty legit from my experience. As they always say, YMMV.
Hope that helps in any way one way or the other.

European availability, release dates and prices

This thread is dedicated for the European availability and pricing of the new Nexus 7 tablet. One of the puzzling questions right now is when are we going to get the device officially through Play Store, or through 3rd party retailers, and I've got some bad news, possibly not anytime soon. Feel free to share your information and contribute building up this thread
United Kingdom
Play Store - no info yet
Currys and PC World is taking pre-orders for £199 for the 16GB WiFi and £239 for the 32GB WiFi model, shipping from September 13
Ebuyer offers the same price, expecting the device on August 29
Spain
Play Store - no info yet
Germany
Play Store - no info yet
France
Play Store - no info yet
shout to the genius that closed the old thread instead of moving it here.

For France, apparently it will be for Week 38 ( September 16th) by FNAC after by the Play Store, I don't know

August 29th is certainly better than September 13th. Is there any chance of it being available sooner or August-September is really what we can hope for?

I am waiting until July 30th to see what happens and then going to pre-order from eBuyer! They shipped previous generation Nexus 7 before official release date in the UK.

I bet it means they have no clue about availability
I pre-ordered from Ebuyer day after launch, the price of £200 is a rip off, based on Google's pricing of the N7 2012 it should be ~£180 but I wouldn't be suprised to see the google play price cheaper. If it appears on play cheaper I'll just cancel the ebuyer preorder.

Do they charge you straight away or hold it until it's released?

I'm fairly sure they don't charge at the point of pre-order

Great! I will go ahead and preorder 32GB one then!

I might order through com gate. Only downside would be the charger but that be fine. The import charge isn't that bad still cheaper than original UK price just need to add on the delivery charge from comgate.

I've ordered one on Amazon.com and shipping it via comGateway to the Netherlands since it's not possible to order directly from Amazon.
I expect it will cost me around $229 + $24 shipping = $253 = €190, €190 + €10 clearence costs (fedex) + €8 import duties = €208, €208 * 1.21 (21% tax) makes it a total of €250.
It's a fair price considering it probably won't be available here anywhere before mid September for around the same price.

A thing is, is it worth buying from US? I mean I think it'll take atleast a couple weeks, and then if there are any warranty problems, it will be awkward sending it back,having to pay for international delivery and whatnot

How come your fedex is that cheap. Mine is $28.80 for delivery.
Anyways the total price to get it delivered to UK including import tax is £238 which is close to the original price of £239.99.
And yeah warranty is a issue but I'll live. Hopefully it isn't a lemon Nexus 7 I get.
EDIT: £233 in total not £238.

Did the same with the Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store and within one and a half week I received the phone so that was a good experience.
As far is I can see the N7 will be delivered on tuesday at comGateway and from there it takes 3-5 working days shipping to the Netherlands which is pretty quick. In case I've got warranty issues I'll try to fix it with a local Asus repair center in the Netherlands, fix it myself (and losing warranty) or send it back to Amazon.

I'm paying comGateway $24 to forward the package and on top of that I have to pay Fedex €10,50 for handling customs (they advance TAX and import duties for me) so the total costs for importing the N7 is allmost €70.

Xperia Z2 Pre-Order Offers in UK

Hey guys. Since I spent the last few days looking for Xperia Z2 pre-order offers, I thought I'll share my findings with you. Here's the list of offers I managed to find. Please be advised that I included SIM-Free and unlocked offers only, as I don't care about contracts - for those you simply need to look at your network's page - and only retailers I personally know and trust as I ordered stuff from them before.
I know that some of them have already been mentioned here, but thought it would be nice to have them all in one place. Also, they are mostly UK retailers, but som if not most of them will ship within the EU so feel free to browse, even if you don't live here.

I'm going with the Amazon offer. I don't need the speaker, and I can spend the £50 voucher to get a nice 64gb MicroSD card and a docking station or the official Sony case.
If you find anything else - let me know or simply post it here, I'll add it to the list.

Thanks for posting these but it looks like the wireless speaker at CPW is only available on selected monthly deals

You might be right. This is a bit confusing, they posted the bundle on the SIM-Free page as well, but the * says "selected pay monthly deals".

Where did you find shipping dates for Clove and handtec? I see Clove says they will have stock starting the 7th. handtec doesn't appear to say anything. I'm not too familiar with these sites so I might just not be seeing it. If they are saying they will ship between 7-14 that would be good news. Thanks.

"First stock due week commencing 7th April"
This week is the 7th to 14th window. I assume they will ship as soon as they get the stock, that's why I put this date. All the dates, however, are not guaranteed.
Interestingly, I got an e-mail from Amazon's customer service and they assured me that their Z2s will ship on the 14th of April.

I don't get it, the phone was supossed to be released this month and sony said they're not delaying the launch only that their stock is limited but where are the phones? The phone should be out this week (last week of march) , it sounds plausible since the Xperia tablet Z2 was already released, but I haven't seen any early unboxings of the Z2 , any sample pictures from final hardware/software apart from the ones coming from Japan, the ones the press took while they were in Barcelona :crying: and that Clove review

I made payment to Clove and waiting for delivery.But still thanks.

Sony why must you hate the US

Pre-orders
wow thanks, I had a gdoc with all of this in and was checking the links seperately.
I too am leaning towards the amazon deal as I already have some gift balance available.
I do kinda wish they would price match the others though especially as the other's have a "better value" pre-order.

I'm not a fan of 'big red', but this deal seems good. How did you get the 20% discount? I can't see any mention on their website.

Just ordered mine with the TV too. Got the 20% discount as my mum works in the NHS

I just paid £360 to get out of my Vodafone contract early. Their network performance is shocking. Less 3g masts and when you do get one one, the performance isn't there, in my experience.
Would strongly recommend steering clear of their network!

Yeah I am on Vodafone in London and I hate it. Will be going else where for sure.

I haven't been able to find anything better than what's been posted already. Please update if the offers change or something new comes along.

Is there a specific place to go to on Amazon to get the voucher offer? I can't see it...
Also, have you seen it in purple on Amazon anywhere?

They appear to have removed the product as sold by Amazon themselves, I guess they have pre sold the allocation they have ordered.

Ha! Somehow I missed that wee box, thanks!
Still, no purple version though Maybe purple isn't coming to the UK? I can't find it anywhere.

Available for £350 at Clove and Handtec UK !

Yes, amazing price (that's why I put an exclamation mark in my title).
Price includes vat, don't know how much the postage is.
Green colour not available from Clove, available at Handtec but costs a lot more.

Wow. That's actually an insane price. I'm seriously tempted the cancel my Sony Store order and get it through these guys instead.

2 quick questions as I'm a newbie to importing:
1) Do I have to pay "VAT" if I'm importing to the United States?
2) Would Sony honor the warranty on this 'grey market' device in the United States?
Thanks for any help you can give

Wow, indeed. I'll probably order from Handtec soon.

You'll need to pay the vat as it's been sold in the UK and the taxman will want his cut of that sale.
Don't know about the warranty, it could be a European one or Worldwide, you'll need to contact the seller or Sony to check.
Also you'll need to check that the GSM will work in your region.
Update - No vat to pay for exporting.

I'll probably order a red one from Clove tomorrow,I hope this isn't a typo and they honor the price. I'm sure though I've seen it on Clove before at £420, so it does look like this is a genuine price reduction.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-16gb-green.html
£425.99 incVAT
£354.99 exVAT

Thanks for the info on the low price! Went ahead and ordered one from Clove.

Ordered mine. Great price. Happy to see Sony going for volume over margin. Hope to see lots of development on this, as it should be incredibly popular. Honestly expected it to be £500 at the Sony store and ~£440 at the cheaper retailers.
Re: importing to the US, you shouldn't need to pay VAT (contact the retailer to make sure they don't charge - may be better to order over the phone), but you will need to pay import / customs duty and possibly sales tax in your state in the US.

Me too. Brilliant value

GREAT! Thanks!
Just brought a red/orange one from Handtec, since they use DPD which is my favorite delivery company.
Does anybody know if the phone their sell is UK model, EU or grey import?
P.S. DPD will give you 1 hr window slot in the morning of delivery, and you can track the drive on a map to see roughly when you will get your delivery within the 1hr time frame. Much better than other company's 8am to 6pm delivery time frame, too afraid to go the the bathroom for missing the door bell approach.

There are only two models: D5803 and D5833. The D5803 has UK and EU bands, as well as bands for some US carriers. The D5833 is the one for Asian markets. You can be sure the Handtec one is the D5803.

Handtec removed the green z3c and also matched price with clove - both are about 290 GBP without VAT

Ordered mine today and was pleasantly surprised when it came out to 290 GBP at the checkout since I'm from Canada and don't have to play the VAT fee! Best pre-order pricing for a beastly phone eVar!
P.S. LULz at all the Apple fanboys waiting in line and paying nearly twice as much for a significantly more inferior phone, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Hah! Yeah, I've seen that graphic make its rounds around social media. Classic. But also true! So by 2016, the iPhone 7 may have finally caught up to the Z1 Compact.

Ordered mine from Clove yesterday, with shipping to Mexico so no VAT.
I can't wait for this to be delivered!

Anybody know if phones from clove / handtec come as bootloader unlockable?
Listings say sim free/unlocked which is not the same thing...

From history, it has always been the case that sim free Sony phones from any outlet always allow unlocking of the bootloader. I doubt that this would change this generation.

Hah! Just noticed Clove is basically selling the Z3C for the same price as a Z1C. That's crazy!
