Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!

At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

If I recall correctly Play don't charge your card until the item is ready to post. I've found they are rubbish when emailing, so I just call them and they are fine on the phone.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
The model on Play has the 10.1v specs, not the 10.1 specs -- be careful.
Right, I received the correct reply from Play.com, ref my enquiry as to why the price is so high on their web site. They're investigating.
Hi there,
Thank you for your email regarding Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet and for bringing this to our attention.

Safest thing to do is buy it from Currys or PCW. Then return it if u aint happy. Think i would wait, of course it would be nice to have it have it first but...
Where is the 32GB version?

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...
Hi everybody!
I have a oneplus two invite which is about to expire in a couple of hours.
I havent realized till the end of payment process that Oneplus charges 45EU for shipping, which drives the price of OPT to 450 EUR which is over $500.
I found it brutal to charge so much for the shipping, and did not order the phone.
Do you think OPT worths $500?
Thanks a lot in advance
All the best
There has been another post about how the Nexus 6 and LG G4 came in cheaper for shoppers in Germany…
Anyway, that’s A LOT for shipping – think it was £7 for the slow delivery to me in the UK (which is part of the EU obviously).
At current exchange rates (E1.3 to £1) E450 seems like a bad deal for my continental brethren – it should be more like E410 delivered surely?
It’s a very nice phone, for the price I paid, but with Motorola’s 2015 flagships and the new Nexus phones on the horizon it perhaps doesn’t represent good value at the price you’ve been quoted. To be honest – whilst I love the fingerprint scanner, the OP2 isn’t that much better than the OP1, which for the money is possibly the best phone on the market right now.

Even though i was tempted I did not order the phone indeed.
They are very successful in marketing. I would never consider it for 450EUR if i knew it in the beginning, but i was almost ordering the phone.
Have a great day!
Shipping to Germany is 20€ without express. So altogether it costs 419€. That's fine for me. It arrived in around one week so I don't think express shipping is needed for German customers.

For me there was only express shipping available.
I skipped OPT for the reason that you won't get any customer service even though you will be paying a flagship phone price of a well established company.
I would like to use a phone for at least 2 years. It just didnt seem reliable.
exact same in here shipped from China to Austria within one week, € 419,-- equals to US$ 470,--
my OpO shipped from UK to Austria within 2 days without express a few month ago!

I live in a small island in Denmark and the only option for shipping was "express".
I tried different addresses of friends in the mainland and still the price of shipping did not change.
Are you happy with your phones?
Alright that's a pitty, but 45€ I also would not have paid for shipment.
I am satisfied with the phone.
It's working quite well and I also have the OnePlus One and never had any issues with it.

Hey!
I have been using Android phones for the past 4 years, starting out with the 2013 Moto G 1st Gen and then upgrading through to a OnePlus One and LG G4. I now have a Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus of which i've owned since November 2016. I'm currently looking to swap this phone for something else and have decided that the ZTE Axon 7 is my best bet, as i'm after something with a 5.5" AMOLED display and front-facing stereo speakers; whilst keeping the price within a tight budget of around £250 GBP.
The problem is that the Axon 7 is not sold here in the UK, with only the Axon 7 Mini being available in the shops; meaning that i'd have to purchase one from China and have it imported into the country. I would like to buy the 128GB/6GB version but there don't seem to be many of this variant available for purchase within budget. Currently the cheapest prices i've found are approximately £285 for the 128GB/4GB version and £245 for the 64GB/4GB model on Banggood and AliExpress.
With the Axon 8 presumably approaching within the next few months, it's possible that the prices of the Axon 7 will start to drop on these websites. However in the meantime while we wait, does anyone know of any current deals/offers on this handset from China?
Thanks!
you answered the question yourself in your thread. Go buy, I did. No regrets at all.

Thanks for the responses, haha. I guess it would still be a good deal to just buy the phone at the current prices, since it represents such good value for money! I noticed that Banggood also sent me a discount code for 10% off which can be used until the 19th July, but i don't think it can be used on the 128GB version because it's already in their sale and you can't combine discount offers... It does however mean £27 discount off the 64GB model. Maybe i'll wait another month until the voucher is about to expire, just to see whether the Axon 8 is announced.
try topcashback and quidco. they are offering 8% cashback. I did this for my 128gb from Ali express

Oh, excellent thinking! I actually used TopCashback when i bought my ZUK Z2 from Banggood back in November, but haven't been on the website since and so i'd completely forgotten about it. The cheapest Axon 7 on AliExpress is around £245 for the 64GB model, so minus a further 7.87% cashback would make it approximately £225. Very tempting!
Ideally the 128GB version would have been better but i'm not sure it's worth spending the additional money considering it's a +1 year old device and there's always the MicroSD slot available. Hopefully there's no import/customs charges on shipping to the UK as i'll never have ordered from AliExpress before. (I managed to avoid the taxes on my ZUK Z2 from Banggood by choosing the free shipping method!) The only thing i'm worried about with this phone is the sudden influx of reports surrounding the 'shaky camera' issue. I assume the warranty will be almost non-existent when ordering from these Chinese websites?
no import charges on mine. I've noticed that the gold version is quite a bit cheaper. I wanted the grey. only thing to watch out for will be the fact that the seller will have rooted the phone to install Google play store and services. this isn't necessary. you'll need to download the build from ZTE (look elsewhere on this forum of how to do this). After that you'll receive the regular OTA updates first.

Thanks for all your assistance. I'm about 95% convinced at this point that the Axon 7 is the perfect device for me. Both colours seem nice but i'm slightly more tempted by the gold one, since all my previous devices have been black in colour which has become incredibly boring. Also, it would be nice to stand out from the crowd a little. The procedure with flashing the ZTE ROM sounds very familiar as the same thing was necessary with my ZUK Z2. It came with a Banggood 'shop ROM' that couldn't be updated via OTA to the latest version. I had to download Qualcomm Flash Image Loader onto my laptop and flash the latest firmware to the device manually.
The Axon 8 is perhaps only a few months away but i'm pretty sure it won't come anywhere near my budget. Ideally i'm looking to spend as little money as possible, and the Axon 7 ticks all the boxes with the exception maybe of an IR blaster. Unless the Axon 8 came in at under £350 for the 64GB version it simply wouldn't be a viable option. I wouldn't see the full benefits of a SD835 either since my usage consists only of basic web browsing and media consumption.
honestly don't worry. I'm on nova launcher and the phone flies. No lag at all. spigen rugged armour case is the way to go. you can even get Google assistant working using the home button. it's originally only configured for zte voice.
This phone is a game changer for ZTE and for "budget phones". The only thing that's lacking is the camera and it's not /that/ bad. It's just not top of the line but it works for the money I paid for it ($285 used). The stock rom is fine. It works, I don't like how slow the notifications come in and a few other quirks. Root it, but a LOS variant rom on it and be done with it. You won't be disappointed.
I bought mine at www.eudirect.shop - it was some 50 EUR cheaper than ordering directly from China and paying customs & tax. Still took almost three weeks to arrive.
Sorry wrong post
I am looking for op5 (from Canada). The price on banggood is $556CAD and on oneplus.net/ca is $650CAD + tax (which is 19% more even after 10% student discount) 6GB/64GB. Do you have any bad experience with banggood? How reliable the oneplus.net is? Any trouble to deal with the seller when your phone should have any problem?
Last question, how do you think huawei p10 plus? It is a much more expensive phone.
I wouldn't trust any other sellers than OnePlus themselves.
Oneplus themselves... You really wouldn't want a bad experience for a tiny bit more. at least that's my opinion
I agree. You usually get what you pay for when using obscure site that many don't know. I knwo you're in Canada, but in the US, unless it's a place like amazon, Swappa or Best Buy, I'm not to into buying phones unless direct from the OEM.
I saw some article about Gearbest selling the phone for $399 if you use a certain code.
Or you can buy it from the official OnePlus website and use a certain code from XDA to get a free OnePlus case. The case is about $30 normally.
The code can be found in some XDA article from last week.
bangood are fine. check its not the chinese version which may limit the bands and have no google play store. i suppose you can flash oxygen rom etc. also remember you will probably run the risk of paying custom tax.
Thanks all. It seems oneplus.net is a reliable place to shopping. Is there data for where people buying their op5? It could be interesting.
I bought mine from OnePlus. I know I overpaid being in Canada with our crappy dollar but I needed to switch to a dual sim phone and the OnePlus was the only dual sim phone I knew of that I was sure I'd be happy with so I was willing to switch from the s8 to the OnePlus 5 even though it was almost the same amount of money. The ordering process was nice and easy and the phone arrived to my door in Canada in less than a week by DHL. I got frequent status updates on the shipping. So far it's better than the s8 in some ways and a downgrade in others. Which is the "better" phone depends what you need or like better.
I would not worry, there is no dodgy copies of oneplus 5 around to my knowledge. Just make sure it has OOS on it ,but even if it comes with the Chinese software you can Flash OOS later. Only on hardware spec(except for memory and storage), Surely you have a one week return policy in Canada also. Android phones never brake until warranty period has expired
No problem here... just got my OP5 from banggood for 400 €... it is 100€ cheaper than oneplus
Buy from the OEM direct even if it costs a little more you have 0 problems with a return or whatever if you have an issue with the device
got mine from aliexpress took 9 days cost £370 6/64 global rom, but then again its a bit worrying ordering from china constantly checking tracking

I agree with this 100%, i've had way better experiences purchasing direct from the manufacturer when it comes to repairs, warranties, etc. When I purchase from Best Buy or online resllers, the seller just tells me "Welp, you didn't purchase the 300$ warranty so..... You're SOL buddy! Good luck contacting the manufacturer!"
I purchased my Samsung Chromebook plus from Best Buy and regretted it. The chromebook had a hardware defect, I called Best Buy and brought it to the Best Buy store I bought it from and they said "WEll, sorry dude, you didn't buy the warranty.." Then I called Samsung and they told me "If you purchased it through us, we could just replace your chromebook , because you went through a reseller, we can only repair it"
I had to get it repaired twice for the same problem I regret not purchasing from Samsung direct, even if it had been a few bucks more.
I've had my Axon 7 advertised on various websites for over 4 months. Originally I started with an asking price of £210 GBP here in the UK, but I quickly dropped this down to £185 to gain interest. The phone is in mint condition as I only used it for about 5-6 months before switching back to my old phone. I have made a good listing with high quality pictures and a detailed write-up. Yet, despite the phone's almost brand-new condition and what I consider a perfectly reasonable asking price, I can't shift this thing at all. In fact, I have barely had any messages other than a couple of completely insulting offers, for £50 lower than advertised.
I think this is a result of ZTE's reputation being so badly damaged this year. It was all over news websites back in April that ZTE devices were a 'risk to security' and the UK government advised against buying them. Now it seems I will be stuck with this phone forever unless I'm prepared to make a considerable loss on it.
Swappa in the US has them listed around $175-$200USD for near mint and they go within a matter of days. £185 is around $244USD. The one's I've seen for less than $225USD go pretty quickly. Try lowering your price and you'll sell
I brought mint condition phone for 180$ 5 months before

Damn. I paid just under £240 for this phone when I bought it from AliExpress last year. Unfortunately there was a price-drop on the Axon 7 around 1-2 months afterwards and so I think it lost a lot of value then.
The reason I priced mine at £185 was because I had seen them selling on eBay for over £200 in worse condition than mine. But I've just checked again at the 'recently sold' items and now they're going for £150-£170, so it seems the value dropped further from when I last looked up the prices.
Seems I have no option but to reduce the price a little further. It sucks because I only used the phone for 5 months and the condition is mint since it was kept in a case at all times. I had someone offer me £185 about 4 months ago so I wish I'd taken it while I had the chance!

You could get a brand new Axon 7 for ~$270 half a year ago. plus yeah, not many people would want an used axon 7 lol - at least in my country most buy used S7Edge's or buy budget samsungs like the J7
Personally I broke mine (mobo, but many other things were broken too) so I decided to buy an used axon. I paid $200 for a pretty dinged-up one (don't care)

That is the problem, the Axon 7 is nowhere near as popular as most other phones on the used market, especially here in the UK where it's only possible to buy the Mini version of the Axon 7. There can be some confusion between the two variants. Like you said, most folks buying used would look at Samsung or obviously Apple.
You sound a lot cooler than me about buying a phone with damage to it. I wouldn't look at a second-hand phone unless it was almost immaculate. But luckily mine is free from all scratches!

I bought my brand new A2017G for just £200 10 months ago, unlikely it will be worth more than £120 now. It is a 2 years plus model after all.

Dude it's worth more than that, lol. I checked and they're selling on eBay between £140 and £175 depending on condition and the quality of the listing. The absolute cheapest one I found in decent condition was a little over £130.
I'm going to try re-advertising it on eBay and see what happens, clearly my starting price of £185 was far too high based on today's values.
Axon 7 here in Australia was $699 Aussie dollars a little over a year ago, I bought mine brand new for $350 AU dollars.
Damn, do we get ripped?
