[Q] htcsense.com & Buying HTC DHD from abroad?

Hello everyone,
I was having this question and HTC support answers to this in a very cryptic manner so I don't get a real picture. I assume that people here, especially those who live outside UK could help.
You see, when you login to https://www.htcsense.com/ for the first time, you are required to select your country. As you see, for Europe, only the following countries are listed:
•Danmark
•Deutschland
•España
•France
•Italia
•Magyarország
•Nederland
•Polska
•Sverige
•United Kingdom
•Česká republika
•Россия и СНГ
Now, I live in Cyprus and as you see, not even Greece is listed.
I don't really know what all the services there are about but from past experienses, like the Apple store, I understand that many online features could be related to the country, so if my country is not listed there, that feature will be unavailable.
HTC support, informed me that I should buy from local store instead of abroad and now my question is the following:
If I buy locally, it will be about 600 Euros but if I buy from UK shop or eBay, it will be about 100 less. So, if I do buy from UK, will I lose any online functionality from htcsense? in other words, is the phone IMEI or SN locked to a country and can only register there?

G4: Buying in UK, using in India!

Well.. the subject says a lot about my concern..
But the specific issue would be: Will I get the Android updates in India, if I'm using a N4 bought from UK?
PS: I believe there won't be any radio issues because they are anyway selling same N4's worldwide! Please confirm, someone?
PPS: Its N4 in the status! G4 is a typo *sort of*

Yes you should get the updates and your calling / internet should work with your Indian service provider frequency too.

I m getting one too
hey ..I am also getting one from UK. My friend will bring that for me. Can you tell me how much will be taxes and shipping over the 279 pound price.
PS : shipping to London not India :good:

Tax (VAT) is included in the price, shipping we don't know for sure yet, but it's looking like £9.99

Can anyone bring one for me

Thanks for the replies guys!
I'll ask a friend to bring one with her when she comes to India. Also, I've no idea about the shipping/ taxes but it will anyday be less than the ebay price of ~27k (16GB) in India ..
One more question. I read somewhere that phones bought in UK will be registered on Google Play with a UK account only. Is that true?
*sorry for the newb-ness*

Nope.

That's not true, there is no such thing as a "UK Account" all Google Accounts are international. My dad bought a One X in India with a Google Account he made there, and he brought it back to Australia, and it's fine. Jellybean Update, the lot. However, there are a bunch of Indian apps, like Bollywood Music Streaming, and AirIndia, that are still on the phone. But besides, that it's great.

That sounds great. As a matter of fact, that very reassuring! Thanks for sharing! ..
I believe the Indian apps should anyway vanish after installing a custom ROM!

Will be available in India by 30 Nov.:good: (confirmed)

That isn't too long a wait to make!
But the bigger question is, what would be the price?
Nexus 7 launched at 17,000, almost a double of what it meant in $$ exchange terms!

[Q] UK 64gb Note 3 variant

I know there is a thread identical to this but for North America, but we are different markets, same question!
Does anybody know when/if the 64gb version will be available in UK? I have called the carriers and no one seems to be able to give me an answer. The 32gb version is listed on most unlocked phone retailers but again, no mention of the 64gb version.
I want this phone to last a good few years, and with the size of games / videos ever increasing I wanted to get the highest capacity version.
Any news?

Tough to say, the US will likely never see it, but in the UK you have a better shot at it than we do. But still you may have to import it and will at least get a usable phone in your part of the world.

You can buy it from Taobao in China and they do ship internationally. I have no experience with having products shipped outside but have ordered from the many time and they ship same day in China.
Price on Taibao is about 5200 rmb / 6.12 = USD
http://s.taobao.com/search?q=Galaxy+Note+3+N9002&app=detailproduct

the best bet is go on Taobao and find the highest phone quantity sold, that's a good indicator of trust worthy store.
there's about 1500 RMB price different between the taobao price and the Samsung store price.
good luck

please can you help me

[Q] S4 Back Covers?

It has come to my attention that there a a range of different covers for the S4, I do not mean colours or carrier printing but rather, some have no printing at the back and some have 'Galaxy S4' printing. Also the i9506 (4G) models vary from having the 4G print at the back to nothing at all.
Does anyone know why this is or whats going on?
On another note, has anyone ordered from TopBuy before? I purchased the i9506 from them, it is yet to arrive but I'm becoming anxious as to whether or not I will receive a genuine model. TopBuy claims that "All products offered by TopBuy are brand new in their original boxes. They are not used, display models, etc… The savings come from direct imported overseas stock at tax free prices" is this to believe?
Also, in the phones package contents they claim that "(Please note user manual may come as English version hardcopy or softcopy)" shouldn't this always be hardcopy? I've never heard of a softcopy included with the phone.
