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

There is a thread further down the page Buying from Mobiles.co.uk relating to buying from mobile
May be useful
thank you
but it didn't say anything about duties/taxes by customs
where can i find about that?
some ody plz answer me quickly
how much will the duty cost me ?
i have to order soon
I'm not sure about canada, but if I was buying from the us and bringing into the uk I have to pay import duty. The amount varies depending on the value.
Your best bet is too look on the canadian gov web sites for tax, or google a tax forum maybe
This is the cheapest price I could find for this phone.
I was wondering if anyone has bought from here and has any feedback to give.
If not, is this site trusted and what not?
Here is the link
http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim....html?osCsid=1e5e0e8996a78990b809653ff6588c22
Also, what is the VAT included in the price? I want to buy it from Australia so does this apply to me or not?
Cheers
I bought mine from there, and it arrived in Melbourne within a few days of release.
No VAT in the price I paid.
Cheers,
Luke
Yeah what the hell is the VAT, that I don't know lol.
Also, how much Australian dollars all up?
VAT (Value Added Tax) could be equated to GST in Australia. VAT, however does not apply to those who order from outside the UK, so international buyers save 20% as compared to local UK buyers. But I'm in the same boat, Unlocked-Mobiles are the only ones who seem to have stock but I haven't heard much about them
Hey guys, I'm from Romania and would like to buy the Nexus 7 from somewhere in the US, an online store or something. Google Play hardware isn't available in my country yet but even if it was, I want the US version.
I've found it on Amazon, but the shipping fee is like $100 Just wondering if there are other alternatives.
Thanks!
I bought this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Nexu...60475906994?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item53ee09d3b2 . But you can always try and find a cheaper one, but this one has pretty fast shipping
Get it from handtec UK

Normally I'd do that, but the GBP is more expensive than the USD and I would end up paying more of my local currency if I bought it from UK. For instance, with 17 Pounds shipping from Handtec + the price of the tablet and everything is already above the Amazon US price + $100 shipping.
Anyone found the cheapest unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4, either version will do, just the cheapest found would be appreciated..
Thanks
Unlocked-Mobiles is the cheapest site I have found the GS4 on... It is $674.46 AUD including postage! That is amazing! Although I don't know whether to wait a while, maybe it will get cheaper? Opinions? Sorry can't post a link, new here..
whick country?
I am from Australia, although as long as the s4 is unlocked i am happy for it to come from any country, all i need is the cheapest?

That's ~£460 here in the UK. Don't think you'll ever get it cheaper than that this year.

Apparently there are many fees from buying things overseas? Through Visa??

For Australia: Just like any online purchase, usually the only fee are related to the conversion rate. Either they convert at the banks rate (includes markup) or at usual rate plus percentage fee. Still cheap either way. Sometimes paypal is an option also. Buying in another country means you don't pay the added tax
So we're thinking that Unlocked-Mobiles has it the cheapest? If so is anyone going to buy it?
