That's a good price. Is that a legit company in Canada?

Very trustworthy. They are almost similar to CompUSA

For that price, I thought about getting one for the wife to replace her crappy Cruz Tablet, but unfortunately that price is only good in Canada. They want $536 on their U.S. site.

In italy this price was a dream lol...the better price that i see is 399 eur for tf101+dock

You have to order from their U.S. site, and it's much more. I don't think you can order from the Canadian site.

I know how to deal with gumtree, regularly sell mobiles on there. There are some legitimate buyers amongst the scammers, I dont use ebay anymore because of the high fees.
Ive found a uk website with stock selling for £499.

I never said it was? Its a PRE-order page. Was merely highlighting the price in case someone wanted to save a little money.
Nothing wrong with gumtree so long as common sense is used. I.e. cash on collection, no postage of items, no paypal/western union. I've sold quite a few items with no problems.

and yet both pre-order still.

Don't forget that the price is slightly higher due to the UK's higher vat (20%). The total price including UK vat and delivery as of last night is 480GBP, obviously its pre order though.

I traded in my s3 at car phone warehouse today and got 243 quid for it and my note 2 was 549..so only had to pay 300 for this.
Super impressed.. However bit gutted when I got it home and realised that I had read the USA specs for it which said 4G capable.. And the UK one isn't :-\
My bad.

According to Three, they are locked and will cost you 15.32GBP to get it unlocked.

Anyone have more info if 3 have them locked or unlocked, I would like to get one from them but need it to work on O2.

My PAYG from Three seems to be unlocked... i put in a Voda PAYG sim, and it got onto the network OK. wasnt able to test calls since no credit on card... was one of the 1st batch on launch day, so they might lock later ones??

02 current brochure have note 2 16gb @ £479.99 dont know if unlocked but i know its not the lte version as thats not out yet...its coming out after oct 15th i think when EE starts rolling...hence why im waiting to see if it supports o2 frequency ready for next years o2 lte...before i buy the 32gb version.

Vodafone Samsung galaxy s4

Hi, could someone please confirm if the s4 purchased direct from Vodafone either through Vodafone store or online are unlocked?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Good question.
Can someone also say whether the S4 comes with any Vodafone (UK) bloatware or branding in the software?

No Vodafone branding anywhere on mine, I've not tried an alternative SIM yet so I can't confirm whether its locked or not.

I believe Vodafone don't SIMlock any phones other than iphones and possibly Blackberrys for contract sales, PAYG I think they still do, but this information should be on their website. They'll probably start shipping the S4 with their own custom ROMs once the initial launch flurry is out of the way, it looks like they got caught out with demand so skipped the custom branding for the first batch, but I bet they'll put it on eventually.

Bought a blacklisted note 3 - Help

Not knowingly I purchased an unlocked blacklisted note 3. Is there a way to get it to work? It's a Rogers phone and will be used on the same network
Please help. Tnx

Not possible, there are illegal methods, however once the carrier spot it (and they will), they will blacklist and persue a legal case against you. - Return to seller, or write it off as a loss and use as a Music/Media player.

Sell it to an overseas buyer.

consider notifying the police, as the seller may be a potential thief.
do us all a favor. you may not get your money back, but you can at the very least contribute to the society and be a good person

What carrier
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Rogers

Mate, you are either going to have to try and get your monet back from the person who sold it to you, or suck it up, report the person to the police (make sure you have some type of receipt) and most probably NOT get your money back...
No carrier is going to remove the handset off the blacklist unless you are the owner and sometimes not even then ...
As was stated previously though, it will work overseas but the modem might be incompatible...

If its not stolen why not. If its been network blocked due to dishonor of contract and you cannot get your $$$ back and you advise the buyer of circumstances, I see no moral reasons why you shouldn't sell it to an overseas buyer.

Buying nexus player in the UK

Hi all
Can you buy the nexus player in the UK?
Thanks all
Chris

Not yet. I managed to get a couple of the adt-1s through eBay

I had a friend send one over for me, it works really well, even supports English UK for voice, so the voice search is every bit as good as on the phone.
Otherwise nothing out of the ordinary to report, you can download apps and connect to your account for music and youtube.
I haven't tried making any play store video purchases as I use plex.

BBC iplayer ain't working though

Sideloaded iPlayer app and works fine if you have mouse for navigation. Demand 5, ITV player also work sideloaded with mouse input. 4od works poorly and is not worth sideloading--their apps on all platforms are buggy beyond belief.
Edit: Tried 4od again and it worked for entire program. Maybe problems before are server side problems. So, iPlayer, Demand 5, ITV, and 4od are functional.

I am importing one right now from Ebay
I don't want it to be like the Amazon Fire Box and even Chromecast where the early versions were rootable and by the time it was released in the UK they fixed it with a patch.

Sorry, I did not understand your question, but I bought it from Ebay, and its being imported from the US to the UK.
I pre-paid the custom duties so I won't have to pay the royal mail fee.

Ah yeah, that's what I meant. How much did you pay? I've found one but it's a lot more than it will be when it is launched in UK. I know that there would be a premium for ordering from abroad but it's almost twice what it probably will cost in UK.

Did you order from the US play store? I can't seen to get it to show US prices as it changes to UK store. I really want one with game pad. The one I found on eBay doesn't include customs so it would be £145 plus tax which is too much. Any ideas guys of where I can buy from with the game pad?

Well for my one I paid £120 for it and that includes the 20%VAT that you would probably be charged if you did not prepay. (probably £10 more)
In the UK the box is likely to cost around £80 once it is released, I think the box is still a limited release in the US as it seems like you can only buy it from the Play Store (need a US address) Mine does not come with a game pad.
There is some guy selling it in a auction from Austria which might work out cheaper if he post's it from the EU but that's something for you to enquire about.
Make sure that when you go on Ebay you click the worldwide option...

I've just signed up to them and connected to a VPN and managed to get both items in my basket. I'm a little confused about the shipping charges and import duty etc with borderlinx. It's estimated calculated shipping cost is over €180 for shipping and tax alone. How much was the shipping and tax for your order when it got to their warehouse in USA. I read that this would be the point where they contact you with the amount to pay. If you could tell me how much you paid I can get an idea of how much I would pay.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

That sounds very wrong. I paid $87 that would be around €70. Of that sum tax was $45 (€36).
