Price only for US Customers

Great news if anyone is interested. I can deliver a Touch HD anywhere in continental US with shipping and insurance for $775.00. Paypal is the only payment method I would like to accept for protection of everyone. This is my way of contributing to this incredible website that has helped me so much over the last couple of years. I need 48 more people.

What's the ETA?

Latest update I have is last week of Nov. They are not getting to the UK till after the 20th.

Any chance of shipping to Australia? If so, will probably take 2.

I would prefer not to because I dont believe paypal verifies outside US. If you give me your address I can see about how much shipping would be.

As far as I knew they do. We have eBay Australia and PayPal is part of them now. I do all of my transactions through PayPal. Shipping would be to North Sydney, 2060, Australia. I now also have another friend thinking about getting one. So it could be 3 phones.
Also, no offence but how can you guarantee us that this is genuine?

Would you consider putting it up on Ebay? There's a rebate for buyers going on now, it's at 25% off today (it changes). You have to list it as Buy it Now and use Paypal. I assume you will add a few bucks to the price for listing fees etc.. but it would still cost us clost to $200 less, which would be a great deal, and you will get more people buying it.

Yeah I'd do eBay...

great!! on ebay then
let us know when you have posted on ebay.. even i will be interested..
Please make it a "buy it now" listing or "fixed price" listing, because the coupon is only applicable to those..
thanks.
i called Expansys and mobilecityonline and they have ebay accounts as well and are ready to put it on ebay.. will post more update when i call them tomorrow in the morning..

I'm also game for a Ebay with that discount! Count me in for "one".

Wow -- keep us updated on how to take advantage of this once it is up.
This phone will be PERFECT if they develop a radio for US 3G bands. Hopefully someone here will help with that.

Yeah guys I think I can do ebay but I did not want to since I dont have a solid delivery date yet. In fact no one in the US has yet. I also was really not trying to make much money on these, it was more to just get the devices to the users of this site.ou are more then welcome to contact me via phone or email if you have any questions. I normally do not do end user sales but thought I would try to save you guys some bucks since the markup on this device is pretty big. Let me look into ebay and see if it works out for me.

Dont hold your breath on 3G for us here in the US. Everything I have heard says it is a hardware issue not something that can be fixed with a radio rom or anything like that. But then again no one knows for sure right now. The p3600 was released without gps and then an update enabled the gps so it may be possible. We can keep our fingers crossed.

I live in NJ and I have decided to get this device whenever it is available. So please update on the situation in this post.

eBay or not, I'm still in.
Maybe edit the first post and keep a list of names as you get them and how many each person will be buying so we can see how far to go till we get enough buyers.
Put me down for one now, will confirm later whether I will take more than 1.

I live in Sydney too, and would join in this and make it four in Sydney. However, I will be visiting Singapore in early December, and might be able to get one there, I hope.

So when does the ebay discount code expire? OK let me see how we can do this ebay listing. Maybe a private auction only open to xda members. I need someone to help me keep track of how many people in the us and how many outside. Thanks for everyone willing to help me with the setup of ebay. Hopefully we can get the 50 that we need and then get start cooking and modding the newest toy from hTC.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a US 3G radio rom. If HTC doesn't release a US 3G version (which they said they won't), there simply won't be a US 3G radio rom -- and don't go around mixing roms from other devices!
As for the eBay discount, it's a Microsoft Live cashback promotion. It changes between 10%-30%, but there's no telling what it will be on any given day. A quick google will point you in the right direction.
Also, as fair warning, beware of eBay and Paypal's fees. Anything over US$500 and a decent chunk will get taken out.

Thanks, I will decide in November.
I'm taking shipping from US to Canada at my expense won't be a problem...

I have let my wife know I want this device...now that I have a hard dollar figure, let me throw down my suck-up over the weekend. Keep me in mind, and reach via PM if necessary. I am 85% sure we will be purchasing at least one unit (maybe two...wife and I both have the Raphael).
Thanks

What price do you pay for an unlocked HD2?

It is about $700 on Amazon and the best price being $675. Plus the shipping cost.
Does anyone have better offers?
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Unlocked-..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1270388078&sr=8-1
I am planning to get these phones for a cheaper price and ship it worldwide, so am taking in everyones opinion.

Why not buy the T9193? It's about the same price, as the T8585, PLUS you can get 3G Speeds, on other networks, like AT&T, with it.

Am not buying them for personal use.
Its for selling at a better price than Amazon and other sites

You'd never be able to expect as much as a retail store would. After all with a retail store there is a comeback for warranty etc.
I think your main thing is going to be beating T-Mobile's price, as this is where many US users are getting their's.

I paid $650 CDN.

ferraripassion,

From XDA's own marketplace, I got it for £310 (about $470). It was a week old, unlocked, perfect condition, with all accessories/box, and this was end of Feb.

I paid 630€ for mine, came with a 2gb memcard ...

Bell Galaxy S2 4G - Canadian Release (July 14th) - First in North America

Bell Canada and Virgin Mobile Canada will be releasing the Samsung Galaxy S2 4G (the 4G is Bell's naming, its still 21Mbps) July 14th. Many retailer already received the unit, but they will go on sale only on the 14.
This thread is to collect information, tips, and rooting/unlocks tips.
Similar thread over howardforum: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...will-sell-it-unlocked?p=14466326#post14466326

Price is gonna be 599.95$ without a contract an around 150$ with a 3yr contract.
Sadly, it seem for reason I don't undersand that retailer, will not let the phone go out of the store un-activated (need a new contract or an existing customer transfering phone). The minimum "contract" seem to be a 30day 50$ plan from virgin, bell offer a similar but add initial fees, which virgin don't.
If anyone find a way around this, or store willing to sell without activating the phone, post it over here.....
So far Futureshop, Bestbuy and some the source all told me the same... But feel free to give it a try.
More to come shortly

From polling a few retailers (The Source, Future Shop, Bell Mobility Stores, Wireless Wave, etc.) I found it's pretty much hit and miss. Usually 1 store is willing to sell it to you off contract for every 4 asked, but, then that could change if they fly off the shelves.

Most of the store I found had either them on order (avg 6 units), or in stock (avg 3 units)... So be there early.
Was there any Bell store willing to sell off contract? (I haven't tried thoses.) Assuming they would be less flexible.

I found one Bell store willing to do it, but, there was a condition that it would be a final sale.

They can say whatever they want but any phone sold by Bell will have to be honored by their warranty program. You can talk to Bell corporate about this and they'll confirm it. They'll also tell you that if you want to buy the phone off-contract they can't refuse you. Store owners are just being dicks because they get no commission with no plan activation. Had the same sort of issues when the Nexus S was released in Canada and people wanted to buy off-contract since they were unlocked (despite Rogers/Telus/Bell claiming they were locked).

I dont think that would be legal... How would they enforce this..
Sell a 599$ phone, but say, no warranty for you.
Really, I am looking at a the source flyer, and it say 599$ with no contract. There is no place where it say you need a minimum 30 days plan required.
Other than: to get the reduce price with a X year contract you need a minimum 50$ plan.
I just don't know how to force them to sell me the phone, even if I think they are lying about the 30 day

I'm definitely going to look in to getting one off-contract, as I'm currently with Rogers...
Anyone know of any issues so far that would prevent the phone from working properly on Rogers?

I got the impression that he was referring to not being able to return the phone within the 14 day return period. I don't think he was talking about the warranty.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks!

My understanding is all that you'd have to do is root and unlock the phone, and it should work fine on the Rogers network.

News that the release date could be July 21st:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/07/12/b...p+(mobilesyrup.com)&utm_content=Google+Reader
When Bell announced they’ll be one of the carriers who will release the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G they never confirmed a launch date, only that it will be available “in the coming weeks”. Carriers usually state this just in case there are shipping issues or problems meeting software tests. Rumours surfaced over the past few weeks of a July 14th release, but we are now hearing the launch date is officially set for Thursday, July 21st.
Apparently us Canadians will be getting the latest software and Bell wants to ensure that enough supply is available. The internal doc we received says that Bell is “anticipating very strong demand for the device” and waiting for “adequate supply to arrive”. Samsung recently announced that worldwide sales of this Android has already topped 3 million in just 55 days. This will be available for $599.95 on a no-contract and it’s expected the 3-year price will be $169.95.

Every store I been to told me july 14. I don`t think they will push it to 21.

My Bell rep forbade my Best Buy from selling it before the 21st and I got confirmation of this via an internal memo. We have it, but can't sell it.

BS.... We will see..

Whether we want to believe it or not, it's the truth... I'm as frustrated about it as you are, as I sold my Nexus last week to pay off my Telus cancellation fees, and now I'm going to be phone-less another week and a half...

go to wireless wave or phone booth. they let you purchase the phone out right. the warranty is void if you unlock the phone no matter where you purchase the phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Yea. that was my plan, walk around im sure somebody will sell it..

Just got back from Future Shop. Their live display model is out, and I managed to play with it a bit.
They confirmed as well that July 14 is the release date.

I got a question for you guys: Why don't you just buy one from a UK site instead of waiting for Bell/Virgin's release?
Warranty will be void anyways if you buy from Bell or Virgin without contract. You have to pay $599 + activation + possible minimum plan + tax + cancellation fee(?).
If you order from Clove or Handtec, you can get a UK warranty (meaning to ship back if anything unfortunate happen to the phone...better than no warranty!). It'll only cost less than $640 including shipping.
Anyone frankly explain it to me?

Where are people in the United States ordering the phone from?

I see a lot of people in the UK ordering the Note from the german amazon site, what places are people in the United States ordering the phone from and for what price? I wanted the nexus prime but this looks like it may be an overall better device, not to mention its available now and has a sd card slot which I wanted.

Negri Electronics, ~$800 US with 2nd day shipping and $35 off promo cert.
I initially wanted a prime too, but it was more for the hardware than the software (which the Note will get eventually), and the note's got better goods.

I'm always wary of ordering from Negri, plemix..etc. I just wait for it to get to Amazon.com or Newegg.com at least they have return policies on the devices. If you order from one of those NY web retailers your pretty much SOL on returns.

looks like its on backorder on negri, I thought I saw people paying $700 for the phone? I would love for it to show up on amazon.com

Handtec, paid $723, they shipped it overnight

Negri has a return policy right on their website...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I love Negri...bought 3 high end phones from them over the last 3 years. Not a single problem with returns, etc. Sorry I waited a day late to get my order in.
I found 2 places locally (Chicago area) who "said" they are getting them by Friday...we'll see!

I just bought through handtec @ $776 Canadian. US and Canadian dollars are pretty close right now, might be like $769 USD. 2-4 day shipping with Fedex to North America. They are getting more stock and shipping Friday the 4th, apparently.

Unlocked Mobiles.com
I just ordered mine last Friday, Oct 28th from Unlocked Mobiles.com and they shipped the same day. Total Cost £504.15 = $807.72! Very good about tracking and notification. Tracking shows my phone in New York, I should have it by Friday this week!

I ordered from Negri on Monday, its suppose to be in texas tomorrow. But the guy stated it was shipped Tuesday but did not have tracking number. But I kept asking and it looks like he was on back order but shipped today for tomorrow delivery. Even though I paid for 2 day delivery so he kept to his promise of the date for delivery.
Spent more than I wanted but thats fine if shows up. I had previously ordered with Expansys and they played a lot of games with my order so I canceled with them and went to Negri. But I just got an email from Expansys stating they have them in stock ready to ship. But somehow I do not believe them. There were others that received units from them. Use at your own risk.
Negri seems to be on the up and up, As well it seems there is one person that I kept dealing with on chat and email. So it might be a single guy running the site. So far he has kept to his promise and that means a lot when trusting a unknown website.

They have return policies, that said I've never used them before, so I've never had to return anything to them. Generally I'd agree with you, the big web stores feel better, but lots of people here have used negri before with positive feedback.

New Galaxy Nexus $300

One of the Carriers here in Canada (Mobilicity) has started to sell the Nexus for $300 no contract .
Here is the link

Seconded - I am looking to get this deal.
I just have one concern - Like the SGS2, is this some sort of substandard model of nexus? It seems there is only one "Galaxy Nexus".
Confirm please and I'm sure many will be happy
This one would be compatible with AWS as well. Unfortunately Mobilicity doesn't ship anywhere, you have to collect the phone at a store. Who wants a 340 dollar (tax) GN shipped to them?

Oh come on.. I was at Canada 2 weeks ago (Vancouver).. lol.. damn it.. if it was $300 when I was there, I would have probably bought it. But $300 + crazy Canada tax and currency, it might be similar to Google Play I think?

Not to take the thread off topic (somewhat) but I just checked the Rogers site for a comparison sake of the price and the phone isn't even listed on there any more. I am shocked that they took it down while they still have the SII on their site. I guess sales must of been pretty bad if they took it down.

Yeah both Rogers and Telus have taken it down i guess people don't want to get a $600 device that sells for $300 and I doubt they want to sell a unlocked phone.
Also yeah I think you have to go to a store to get this I doubt they ship but hey it's a good deal for canadians who live in large metro areas

Picked one up.
It is unlocked.
They won't ship. You must get a plan with the phone, but since it is month to month I'm sure you can cancel in the first month. With tax and the first month of 25 dollar service it was 370 or so.
So the unit I got has that problem where certain shades of grey are purple tinted. As I understand I need to root to get it to 4.1.
Phone comes with 4.0.1.
Direct some questions if you'd like

Yeah it's a little more expensive then the play store one but in Canada they aren't sold in the play store.
Also yeah ours are on a NON Yakju build so you manually have to flash it over to receive OTA updates

No Thanks

Sale price is applicable only to new activations when customer purchases in advance, non-refundable 3 months of services on the $25 or $35 Back To School Plan (equivalent to $75 and $105 respectively, plus tax) and is on automatic monthly payments (preauthorized credit/debit payment).
