no local phone companys are offering the XDA /qtek..... phones
with a phone subscription which always lower the price of the phone
but i can buy the qtek 1010 64MB without a phone subscription but with sales tax (25%) it's 589.662 £ / 827.496 euRO
which is pretty high imho
are there anywhere in UK or germany or something like that where you can buy the XDA without a subscription much cheaper then that ?
(and are these places where they ship to other EU countries ?)
thanks for any help

I managed to pick up a 32MB XDA for £150 from carphone warehouse - no plan either. Ex demo model which was as good as new. The SKU is XDAXDEMOSILVER if you want to check with your local CPW to see if they have any in stock.
Hi
I am sure you guys will know- eBay UK is a good cheap source for xdas and I got mine (64mb version) brand new for £290; no vat. You got to play safe and check out the seller; for me I got his number, send a cheque to a proper address with the cheque crossed so that it HAS to go into a bank account and made him send me a proper receipt. You can also use one of those escrow service which only pay the guy after you have received the set in good order. Right now this minute, there are 32 mb brand new phones advertised for £250. Most of these guys selling the new phones are folks who have contracts with O2 and doesn't need the upgrade xda and tried to make some money out of it. If you bid for one, I figure the 64mb version would be worth around £300 ish and the 32 mb version is about £200 ish. This is from observations over the last 3 months or so and of course there is an element of luck as to how many people were interested in your same bid.
Good luck :lol:

XDA for sale in Italy
XDA is coming for sale in Italy in July/August as Qtek 1010 from 3 operators.
Vodafone: will sell it only through their business channel at first, later in stores as Vodafone PDA. You can check www.190.it
WIND & TIM: both operators should go commercial very soon, I guess September.
Good thing is in Italy non of the operators lock the phones. Therefore you can go into ANY store and buy the device without a contract or so on

Anyone knows how much do we have to pay in customs if we import a SGS2 from the U.K. on release day? I am looking at purchasing one once I get a good review of the GPS performance and want to make sure I am not surprised with any hidden cost.
unless you live in new york, you dont have to pay any. you just pay for shipping, i ordered from clove.co.uk, and there was no tax, or customs charges, only a shipping fee of 14 their money. however mobilecityonline.com is US based, and is cheaper than clove, you will pay 699, no tax, free shipping, no international hassle. the only reason i went with clove was because they will get it to me anywhere from 2-4 days faster
edit, i just noticed you wont be ordering the day they get released, then it would be faster to order from mobilecityonline, because they will receive stock from uk, which will take a few days to ship, but after that, you can order overnite delivery if you live in the US, so i suggest mobilecityonline.com

MobileCityOnline has free shipping on pre-orders. But no ETA. Yes, it's 699 but no certain date when they receive stock.
I also ordered from Clove and it's about $744 with 2-4 day shipping. I hope it'll arrive by the end of that week. Also, I think there's some currency fee charged by your card issuer. Maybe 3%?
Handtec is slightly cheaper but they've been inconsistent with stock date.

I cannot find anything on their site. If I purchase a sgs 2 from mobilecityonline will I have any kind of warranty? From them or from samsung?

I can't directly answer that question but an email from Clove says, "Samsung offer a two year warranty on the SGS2!!"
I suppose that's regardless of where you buy the phone from. Anyone care to input?

When I ordered a phone from the U.K to Chicago, I was not billed any customs rate what so ever. Even while ordering stuff from H.K, I didnt pay any customs.

then you have to pay sales tax, thats all, idk what it is over there, but in ohio its 7%
thats if you order from mobilecityonline, if you order from clove there wont be any tax. the tax is only from mobilecityonline because theyre actually newyork based, so newyork residents have to pay =/ not sure who would be cheaper in this instance, hmm
thanks everyone
That was one of my worries, at least I can breath now
Now to see if the GPS performs good or not. The first SGS let a sour taste in my mouth.
Ok, so the sellers that can ship to the U.S. that I have so far are:
clove.co.uk (444.00 euros + 14 euros shipping = 458 euros)
mobilecity.com (699.99 dollars + 0 shipping)
handtec.co.uk (515.99 euros + 12.99 euros shipping = 528.98 euros)
expansys.com (519.99 euros + ?? shipping)
expansys-usa.com (749.99 dollars + ?? shipping)
Watch out, UK still uses pounds, not euros
So it's actually 14% more expensive (1GBP=1.14EUR)

I believe the Handtec price you listed includes VAT, which you don't have to pay if you're in the states. The last time I checked it was about 430£.

It's 8.75%.
I tried figuring out where it's cheapest, realized that I was using euros instead of pounds, and gave up.
I just had jaw surgery so I can't think much right now... lol

Is it an international warranty? From my previous experience with Samsung products (laptops, not phones), the warranty would cover the item in the locale where it was purchased, which in this case would be the U.K. no?

Clove just emailed saying if there's an issue with the device, it can always be sent back to them.
They didn't mention any other details. It sounds pretty vague so I guess I'll have to deal with either SquareTrade or Ensquared.

Guys, i want to make sure i've got it correctly: if I'm buying from UK (expansys or handtec) and ship it to USA address not in New York, in my case Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, then i wont pay any US taxes and customs, and expansys's price (which exclude EU VAT while shipping to US) + shipping costs will be my final price?
Price of phone plus shipping is what t
I paid. Shipped to Florida with nn tax.

I'm in Australia, I just spent a while researching this for the Australian SGSII thread here, but I want to get others opinions too...
Where to buy it?
Here is what I found:
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
(Australian Dollars, including shipping -cheapest option)
Have I missed out on a site?
Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to buy it for the cheapest price?
Is there any reason you didn't buy it from the cheapest price?
I plan to use it on Telstra's NextG network.
Am I correct in assuming whichever store I buy it from, it will by with the Exynos and SAMOLED+?
Anything else that might influence someone's decision to purchase?
Thanks.

I bought on amazon uk for £499
On handtec and unlocked mobiles, the price was more like around £499 (at the time of posting). On handtec, it is not in stock right now.
At least, on amazon, apart from being a reliable seller, your vat is ajusted to the country you live in (for me, it was interesting), the return is easy if necessary.
Those prices are with no VAT, which is what you get if you buy them fom Australia. Not sure about other countries.
I've never used Amazon before, I've always found it troublesome buying from Australia.
It's like they don't want you to use it if you live in Australia.
I am getting ABSOLUTELY screwed around by Expansys! Only went with them because they were cheaper when they had their pre-order price & I could get 6% cashback via quid-co. They're just absolutely ignoring every email I send them & I can't call them because it's too expensive & the time difference is all out of whack.
Will cancel & buy from Handtec.co.uk.
Why Handtec and not the cheapest option?
i paid £529 for my set from phones 4 u(bought on 27th). gutted to see so many games incompatible/unoptimized with mali400.

hi. this is a simple thread just to see what are the prices of Lumias in other countries.
you can give prices that you bought yours just for the sake of comparing it with others.
Anyway i am from Greece where all phones are sold factory unlocked.
here the Lumia 710 costs 299.90 euro (i bought mine brand new for 200 and sold it same price 20 days later fully unlocked to buy 800).
Lumia 800 here cost 539 euro but i bought mine for 343 euro, w/o contracts or anything.
post yours.
hey their,
i got my White Lumia 800 for about RS.21,000 on 28th April 2012

Yes we have alot of taxes. 23% is this case.
taxes and firing people is the solution found by our governator to solve the crise.
in this moment 15% of our ppl are without job and they are still incrising taxes.
Per example bread ,water , gas and other essential things have now 23%tax instead of the 5-13% they had!
Sorry for my english.
But just to tell that Greece and Portugal are diferent countrys and we are dealing with this in a very different way.
I hope both country can resolve their problems and don´t fall again in misery.
Viva Portugal!

For an 800?
Starting this thread for anyone that buys the international version which releases this week... let us know where you bought it and how much you paid... I'm interested in this phone like many but have limited places in USA to look to buy (most are charging well over the actual price). This will help all of us find the cheaper places to possibly get this phone! Thanks in advance!
So far, I've found:
CLOVE UK: 644.00 pounds (around $820 USD)
EASYCELL: $1050 CAD (again around $800+)
I'm thinking this is high for this phone as if should only be $599 - $649 USD...

Not possible atm as far as I know.
I am from USA and looking to purchase the global version for a similar price as flipkart is selling in India. I want this phone but damn its hard to find one for a decent price that isnt insanely marked up.
Giztop sells for $720 for 8gb ram 256gb rom but thats the chinese version. Anyone in USA had luck finding this phone for sale?
