How much did you pay for your SGS i9000?

Did you get it with the carrier & sign a contract? or Purchased it unlocked?
Personally i got mine for $650 directly 16GB version, i hate phone carriers contracts
I've read some people seems to have paid less even without carriers.
on ebay the average price for the 16GB version is around $750

Mine is going to cost me about £500 in total on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, texts and data.

$550 shipped to the US

There already was a topic about this thing,
I payed ~390 euro (500$) for mine.

380£ for the i9000 8GB version+8GB SD card.
It's so much fun not having to pay VAT. lol.

It depends which version.
The smaller 8GB ones are in the $500-550 range nowadays.
The larger 16GB version goes for about $120-$170 more.
I paid almost $800 delivered for my 16GB
I like the larger storage, since I used to have sporadic corruption with SD cards in WM, and from what I read Android is not exempt from these, either. I want peace of mind when I am on the road and don't have a backup.

£280 all in (inclusive of VAT) with a third party seller on a really crappy contract, but I already have a contract with T-Mobile which I'm now using in the SGS. Mine is an unlocked, unbranded 8gb stock phone, so free of carrier crap too.
Dialaphone - £20pm 18mth O2 contact, downgradeable at month 9 to £15pm, plus I got £35 cashback by going through TCB. The O2 contract is really crap - 100 minutes, unlimited texts and no data allowance, but £280 for a stock SGS is damn good. They stopped doing the O2 deal earlier this week, though.

€ 380 for the 8GB version, no contract. Not paying VAT is nice.

£410 at Carphone Warehouse, SIM free and unlocked.

£355 from o2 unlocked, to get it you have to already have been with o2 for about 6 months I think and then you can ask to purchase a phone from them (i.e. say im unhappy with current phone but dont want to affect contract) this wasn't the best deal by a long way (desire £285) but i wanted this phone.

Damn, Holland is expensive.
16GB with 200minutes/400texts/unlimited data for 2 years at 650€

Bollocks! If I knew this I could have saved some money. Is the phone unlocked?

How much was your X10?

Thought it would be interesting to see who got the best deal when they bought their phone. Post The price of your phone, any bonuses you got with it, the location you bought it and the approximate date you purchased it
I personally got mine at Best Buy for $49.99 on a 3 year contract with a bonus $75 Best Buy gift card and (he said) a free 16gb micro-sd card. Pretty sure all phones come with the SD cards though since it was already in the phone upon unboxing.
Now you!

it was 9k pesos and that's around 750 dlls

Free on a 15 pound ultd contract 24 month =)
Benifits on being on a staff contract with o2. Shame its a 2 year contract though. Had phone since realses in Europe. had 3 replacements

Mine in malaysia rm 1550.00. Us around 4+

I traded a month-old iPhone 3GS for mine. The choice was either this or the Desire (non-hd). After 6 months of heavy use I'm glad I chose the X10. It's got an old version of Android with some small issues but the screen and design more than makes up for it imo.
The streetprice now here in Sweden is about 400€ which is slightly overpriced, I'd put it at 300-350.

Got it from my bro who switch to IOS4 . My first android phone and as each day passes by i liking it. Great phone...

$637.00 AUD From "3" HK Network

Bought a new N900 for $350, traded it for a x10 after three weeks.

$650
+tax

Free, 3 years contract, Rogers Canada

NO Contract Its white X10a branded to rogers works on the US att. Got it for $520 around June.
Happy with it.
Purchased on eBay from a guy in Canada.

$50, and a $50 mail in rebate, so basically free. Upgraded through Rogers, didn't need to get a new plan or anything.
I definitely didn't feel like spending another $500+ on an unlocked phone

I traded a year old SE Satio + $100 AUD for a brand new X10
Can't say I miss the Satio, but the camera was absolutely AMAZING.

How much did you pay for your's in the UK

Just wanting to know how much you paid for your nexus 7 and where you bought it from, I was reading prices on reviews from £159 but couldn't find any at that price or even near.

That's for the 8 Gig version. 16 Gig is £199 from CPW. I haven't got a clue (nor do I care) if it's available at a lower price elsewhere.

I paid £189.99 with a code from Tesco.

got my 16GB one for £199 (inc delivery) from CPW. As said before £159 is for the 8GB version.

£179 16GB Tesco Direct, collected from store.

^^This^^ collected from store.

I paid £189 from tesco plus 200 clubcard points (so effectively £20 back at a later date)
HMV do it for £199, and if you are a student (or former student as they never remove the discount from their website) you can get it at 20% off so £179.99.

Hate to break it to you but that's 2 quid off, not 20. Also, I only got 189 points. Even paying full price you'd only get 199!

oh your right, not sure what I was thinking, however with the club-card exchange you still get lots back

£199 - from PC world
They were 'sold out' - however I popped in to ask when they were getting any more - and the guys said a member of staff was bringing his pre order back..
He preordered one, which was delivered - but he had just got one instore the day before [just in case!]
So he refunded that one and sold it to me - still sealed etc
Was the last one in the area

Mine cost me £203 because I paid for next day delivery
I went onto the PC World site a few weeks ago and noticed that the "Preorder" button had changed to "Buy now" and I managed to snatch one up - about an hour later they were all gone. It arrived the next morning too

Saw that myself and I'm really tempted... went online with them to confirm the price as everywhere else they appear to be £500+ They confirmed the price you paid.... now just have to decide silver or black...

I done the exact same deal on vodafone, I got the silver phone, just hoping I got the free speaker aswell.

craftycarper1; fancy you being here!
I pre-ordered an XZ, but having doubts over the device having ordered in I decided to cancel it and replace the device with a HTC One through P4U, they seemed quite happy to do it although unfortunately I did have to pay £100 towards the handset up front, but I will get £30 rebate apparently.. Hopefully I'll still qualify for one of the first 200 orders.

:laugh: I decided that living for 2 years with the below par screen on the XZ would eventually get to me, so jumped ship back to the One.
I'm not holding out much hope of being one of the first 200.....even though i was banging away on the keyboard as the event yesterday was ending.
Never mind, they come with Beats buds and a flip case.
I noticed that CPW are doing the One with Solo Beats headphones with their offers.

Just ordered a Silver one from Phones 4 U
£459, £5 cashback from Topcashback also, BOOM! lol
It says about Beats Headphones and a Flip Case, not sure if that is contract only?

HTC one black or Silver £65 uprfont £26 per month with 500 mins unlimited tests and unlimited Internet, this is probably the best I have seen so far. Better than CPW or P4U.

Yeh its contract only. Just read the T&Cs

I originally bought the One X on a 12 month contract on Vodafone and my contract should be running out soon. I want the One on a similar 12 month deal.

That's what i was hoping for........quite a novelty having a 12 month contract again, still, 3 weeks to go to see if some better deals crop up.
The 12 month deal offered on the One X last year was outstanding.

How did you get 12 months ? I've only ever seen 12 month contracts at like 50 pound a month

When the One X was announced last year Dialaphone and some others had a 12 month deal @ £36/month, there was an upfront payment of £109.99 i think, but also a Quidco cashback offer with £65 cashback, the deal also came with the HTC Media link.

I'm looking for the 64GB HTC One on contract with unlimited data. Can't find any deals yet but I use 5GB - 8GB a month on data with Three, so deffo need it lol.

Where the hell is the sim free HTC One on Phones4u? I can only see the contracts, can someone link me?
EDIT: Found it, might wait for the 64gb model as the 16gb in my Nexus 4 isn't enough since day one, only like 300mb left.
Hopefully it be around £500-530! for the 64gb, anyone know the release date for the 64gb?

Surely if you only have 300mb left of your 16gb then the 32gb would be enough?

HTC Nexus 9 - 32 GB LTE - 359$ Canada

Hey guys , I saw this on another forum and I want to share with you , if you have not seen this.
So Rogers Canada sell the device for 359$ without a contract (it's a promo limited time) This is the 32GB LTE is a really good price because Google play ask 669$ for this model. You can order by phone or go to store for having it. If some peoples wondered if the tablet is locked sim with Rogers, the answer is no it is only for phones.
You must activate it with a 5$ minimum data plan without a contract ( the 20$ fee connectionis you can have it for free on phone and on many stores ) After that you can cancel your account in the same days for having nothing else to pay.
Here the link: HTC Nexus 9 Rogers
Here is my experience with this:
I already have a nexus 9 16GB since last year ( i have got in solde for 350$ )..
Finally I decided to replace my 16GB for the 32GB LTE and selling my 16GB. Great move!
I was in a Rogers store last week and the store manager sold me without contract. The maganer told me he had no connection fees or charges for the sim card for tablets. So is said me is free for all of this. So i have Took the plan for 5$ and later in the day I call Rogers to cancel the line, and he said he had nothing to pay so no invoice because I cancel in the same day.
Have fun

Nobody in Canada here? lol.

I am, just already have a n9 lol. That's a super deal though.

Yes i know the device have only one model but the Price varies by country .. and the exchange rate, it is not comparable. This is what i am saying.
Google play ask 669$ in canada for this one and this deal is for 359$. This is almost 50% off.
