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
Just looking at the deals for the Nexus S. I am already in contract with T-mobile for another 8 or 9 months so locked in really. I have a Xperia x10. I want this babby asap.
Only thing is that the prices are different on PAYG for the different networks
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/NEXUS-S-FROM-GOOGLE/PPAY/NEW
My understanding is that the Nexus S does not come locked to any network, so why is the t-mobile price so bloody high?
Why wouldnt anyone just buy the cheaper version from the offers of the other networks and plug in a t-mobile sim?
That'll be a cockup, that was it's original price.
Besides, just buy it SIM free to avoid the mandatory £10 top up.
I dont understand your first statement. Why would it be a **** up? And what was the original price?
Let me rephrase.... or not perhaps
Is the Nexus S unlocked to all networks by default?
If it is, then why is it £429 on O2 and £549 on T-Mobile?
Where can I buy the sim free version?
You can buy the sim free version on carphone warehouse.
Basically the price difference came from the price change, when it dropped from £550 to £430. Some networks dropped the pay as to go price to match that, others forgot.

It's such a shame we haven't a play market in italy and we have to pay € 500,00 plus this amazing terminal.
Someone knows how to but at the right price in Italy?
at the moment we can't buy a nexus 4 or 10 in Italy.
As you may know is LG to sell this phone in Italy and we have to wait until the end of the year .-.

If it comforts you, at the moment no one in Europe is able to buy a Nexus 4
except on ebay for even more € then it will cost in retail stores
now you might think that i'm a troll but please don't get me wrong. those of you who live in the first world countries can buy lg nexus 4 for 350 bucks right ? well, i can't , i don't live in the first world countries and my country doesn't have google play store so i have to pay twice than google play's price, which is $600 or so, and i hate it, i really want the nexus 4 for that price, but for $600 ? big no, it seems like LG is too afraid that nexus 4 price will canibalize optimus g or optimus vu, because optimus vu costs $570 unlocked,
why google why ? no italy no japan no singapore,
shame on you LG,

it's true. The Nexus 4 did canibalize the optimus g. It got the high specs of the optimus g, but google's longterm software support.
Hmm... I got mine for 350+ taxes(+-$400) cause I live in Central America
I can't buy Nexus 4 in Poland as well, but it's not a reason to rant them. Life can be unfair, we can't do anything.

what do u think?
u will buy the Moto x or u will get it from USA?
I think for those who live in Europe will come down to decided whether or not they want a customized Moto X and pay a nice shipping fee to receive it at there homes.
Or if they don't mind for customization and just pay a bit less.
Sent from my Moto X
I"m from Spain and I will probably buy black model. I would like to customize it but ....
Sorry for my english

it doesn't look like that.
they should sell the 32 gig model for 399€ though, that would be a good price.
16gb are too litlle for me. I will wait a period of time and If they bring 32gb model I will buy it.

This is what Alex Dobie wrote on androidcentral.com:
"Motorola says the device will go on sale from February 1, and will cost £380 outright. We won't be getting any Moto Maker facilities right now, so we're limited to the black and white versions. 16GB will be the standard model available, but a 32GB Moto X can be yours from the Motorola website when it goes on sale. In addition, Motorola confirmed to us that the 32GB version will not in fact be available in the UK at this time."
Maybe a dev. edition like in the US

I'm also looking for 32gb version for the same reason. I have a 32gb sdcard actually with ~20gb of music that's why 16gb is not enough for me.
So we will be able to buy 32gb model in a future not so far. Let's wait until then
Sorry for my english
It looks like they already start to lower the price in the UK :

For people living in europe, it doesn't only come down to price and looks.
Buying a US version will make it impossible to use 4G/LTE in EU, so in order to succesfully connect to 4G networks in EU, one must buy a EU Moto X. Unfortunatly Motomaker and 32gb versions are not available in EU, so it really comes down to looks and space vs. 4G speed.
Btw. Importing a US version to EU, will cost the same or more, than buying an EU version, due to import taxes, unless you travel to USA and bring one home in your bag.

If you buy a XT1058 from the states you get LTE band 7 which many carriers use in Europe.
I got the t-mobile with all the cozy stuff and sent it with a friend that was flying home.
Originally the plan was to sent it with mail (this was before motorola announced that the x was coming to Europe) but I got lucky.
Sometimes you might get lucky with the taxes (in Sweden there are no tolls on cell phones, "just" 25% VAT). They don't control all packages. It also depends from which county it was sent from.
Booo for import taxes, I hate them.
"Hey, we can't compete with the price because of our superduper high taxes and average salaries, nor can we compete with the availability of products so let's punish everyone who isn't buying stuff from within the ****ty EU".
Belgians interested in this phone will have to stick to the European model if they want 4G, unfortunately none of the USA models supports LTE 1800.
Anyboy knows weather the bootloader is unlocked or unlock-able on the european model?
