I'm getting mine from amazon

Ordered one for a friend of mine using his international CC (Dubai - and it worked), then had it shipped to my place overnight, got it about a few hours back already and shipped it out to him for a 6-10 day international shipping, cost me $27 to ship it to him in Dubai.

Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.

Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions

mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome

Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc

I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy

Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol

Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?

Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)

hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.

handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon

Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...

my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

I can't afford to buy outright just now, so I am waiting patiently for it to be released so I can grab it on my plan with Optus! Waiting, Waiting, WAITING!

Might as well buy from ebay. Same thing! Amazon sux for anything unless its sold and shipped by amazon

thats not really sold by amazon though, thats just being sold through amazon

Your right. I didnt notice they were private sellers...
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk

Hello folks!
Is there anything wrong in getting it from Amazon - US, even if its private seller?
I was thinking of ordering it from Amazon for two reasons:
1. Using Amazon's 12 month interest free finance option
2. At least initial return (within 7 days) would be easy, IF something is wrong with the device?
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

I have been watching amazon resellers and considering them. Most of them are on ebay too. But see my other thread--for a 790 price expansys usa has the device in stock and they have a better return policy--that I would trust more IMHO.

Yes, i did your post about them. I guess I should order it from Expansys-US. Just wanted to take advantage of without interest 12 month payout from Amazon.
Thank you again!

Just ordered mine through another seller (Techno.Trading.House) on amazon for 770+8 for expedited shipping and i used my store card for the 12 month financing.

After multiple delays they canceled my order so I just went and got it from newegg. Since it came from Jersey to Maryland I got it the next day. Loving it so far.

Got mine at eBay from networkgurus for $749, it just dropped to $729. It ships from Georgia. The seller was very prompt with his emails. Ordered yesterday and got it today B)

The 'waiting for my Nexus 7 (2013)' thread

Hello guys!
So I ordered the device on Ebay yesterday and since then I'm waiting and reading all the topics here, educating myself and preparing for what to expect from my N7 when it arrives.
As it will be a long wait (it has to ship through half the world) I'm creating this thread as a place for discussion with other fellows that are waiting for their devices to arrive.
Now.. I should say that my biggest concern is that once its here there is no way to replace it, so I'm hoping it wont have any of the issues mentioned in the other threads.. I guess thats the price for being an early adopter these days
So, are there others waiting for their N7s to arrive?
L8rs,
B

Why did you buy it off eBay? Are you outside the US?

Yep, Bulgaria. God knows when it will be available for purchase here officially. Devices on the Play Store are not available here at all.
I presume the local Asus service does not handle the new N7 warranty yet. I am too impatient and I ordered early, so I hope that I wont be facing issues.

Just got mine today. I got it from the play store. Free shipping and got it in 3 days. Not bad seeing as I'm on the eat coast.

I didn't order the tablet from eBay, because I'm afraid that it will happen what you're saying there. So the only choice is I need to wait for the tablet officially available in my country, i'm from Malaysia. It will take 1 and a half month for it, like previous nexus devices. But that's going to take a long time to me I'm too impatient to have it in my hands.

Waiting for mine also (32gb), Bought from the US since its not yet out here IN Australia, fingers crossed there's no dead pixel/dust.

I will survive a dead pixel but not the touchscreen issues that some are reporting. Crossing fingers!

I'm as well waiting as patiently as I can. Living in sweden but ordered mine from a seller on Amazon who ships internationally. The other guys on another forum got theirs yesterday, and ordered about one day before me, so I'm going to be so disapointed if I don't get mine on monday! Darn, this wait
Btw, regarding the possibility of a faulty device. I've heard some talk about international warranty from Asus. Is that confirmed?

Hey me too placed a order on eBay for my 32gb tab as its still not launched in India officially. As per eBay seller the delivery will be made after 10 days. As keeping my fingers cross for not receiving any defective piece....

I'll let you know if mine turns out alright, but my guess is its still a lottery whether you get a good one or not, since these are still one of the first ones to be made.

If you've ever owned a Nexus before, the procedure is exactly the same to unlock and root. Having owned a OG N7, I already had the drivers installed and tools needed (adb and fastboot).
You can have it on a custom rom in 10 minutes if you have the recovery and rom already downloaded.

Australia, originally paid about 25 aud foe shipping, next morning got a message from the seller that DHL couldn't deliver to my area without extras because I live in a 'remote' location, they charged me another 20 USD for that but also changed it to express shipping.

When I ordered I noticed that the Expedited shipping was around $20 cheaper than the Economy shipping - I thought Economy means "slower but cheaper", turns out the faster shipping service is cheaper when shipping to Eastern Europe. A bit strange.
I guess in your case the Expedited service was more expensive (as it is supposed to be) so you had to pay extra.
Anyway, its now 3 days since my purchase and the tracking page has not updated since then, no details as to where it is and when to expect it. Hope this changes on Monday. Does your tracking page show some updated info?

ZTE Axon 7 availability

Hi everyone,
I am looking into ordering the ZTE Axon 7. On the ZTEUSA website they state that new orders will be shipped at the beginning of november which is very far away. Some other webshops like Newagg still seem to sell them. Is there any advantage waiting 3 weeks and buying it from ZTE directly? Or is Newagg just fine? Or any other webstores with quick shipping?

Try BestBuy. Also use the store locator to find out if they have one in stock in your preferred color. You could then always call the store and have it shipped to one in your area.
Off course there are some areas that do not have many BestBuy stores. Anyway, give it a shot.

I came from a Nexus 5 so the jump to this phone was huge for me (metaphorically and literally). I love everything about it EXCEPT for the software. I miss having stock android and I wish A7 had capacitive buttons. I will admit that my A7 DOES stutter more than my N5 in some cases like opening notifications, opening the app drawer, scrolling (at times). I installed a 200gb micro sd card immediately upon getting it and it's been awesome to have 249 gb of storage at my disposal. Overall I'm still very happy with my decision and I hope this phone will last me for the next 3 years (like my N5 did for me). It makes me feel sad though knowing that they'll probably stop updating this phone after the hype dies down and new products get released so I really hope this phone develops a very active modding community.

One advantage of ordering directly from ZTE is they give you a 30 day return window with no restocking fees. The same can not be said for Newegg, B&H, or Best Buy.

Jet.com
Use coupon code shop10 for an additional 50 off. I believe the code only works on new accounts. No tax in cali, not sure about elsehwere.

Don't know what the guy talking about stutter is on about. Had a HTC One M8 then a Nexus 6. This phone blows them both away. Seen 0 lag, and I always use smart power mode.

The following quote is from the ZTEUSA Passport 2.0 info page: "The 30 Day return policy applies only to phones purchased directly from zteusa.com. Proof or confirmation of direct purchase required. Phones purchased from other sources are subject to the return policies of the retail seller. Retailer return policies may vary".
If you click on the "Warranty & Returns" tab on the Newegg Axon 7 page, it states this item is non refundable and can only be exchanged for the same item.

Well why does the passport 2 card say they accept returns from partner retailers?
