The 32GB 3G HTC Flyer is already £100 less in the UK, see this at Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Flyer-i...612G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1307086924&sr=8-2
Hi,
I think you saw an earlier mistake by Amazon. Earlier they were claiming that the 3G/32Gb Flyer was cheaper by £120 than the RRP.
Amazon listed the RRP as the standard £599, and the new price as £559 (or something similar). Amazon have since corrected this, the new saving is £40.01, making the new price £559.98
However, I understand from other press that the 16Gb/Wifi only model has seen a price reduction to £400 from £480 at some UK retailers.

My Best Buy Bargain
Best Buy UK had the 32GB 3G version for £479.99 the other day. Ordered mine, it arrived and its great! What a result! Unfortunately they have corrected their description now and are only selling the WiFi version for £479.99. This is still a good deal on Amazon though with £40 off.
Sorry for not posting on here about the Best Buy deal. I am not really a user of these forums but thought I would become more active now

i am selling brand new white google g1,unlocked,with all accesories and 2gb sd card.
you can pay me via paypal or directly on bank.
price is 360gbp or 400euro.
cheers
Good luck with that price
Lol... wow, hot deal of the century here.........
it can be sold for 450 here in slovenia.i am just trying to sell him out
360 British pounds = 548.14 U.S. dollars
It's a decent price over here (Sweden). Not great, but cheaper than buying a Dev Phone through Google.
It ain't that bad,in Spain some people are paying for the G1.....550/700 euros......this is out-flipping-rageous.I got one for my dad here in the US and sent it to Spain,he paid 315 euros with taxes and shipping included,which is a really good deal I think.
all i know is crack is a terrible drug....n causes people to do outlandish things....this phone is by no means worth that price.....
ud have better luck selling it through ebay...
since white g1's are labeled as "rare" they tend to go higher
not to mention the few ADP1's ive seen have sold for over 600usd
Obviously, there doesnt seem to be anyone interested through postings.
If you are interested contact him through PM.
Locking this thread before it gets out of hand.
Good Luck on the sale.
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.
£399 on o2 payasyougo plus £15 for unlock all in
I just got referred to this site by Asus to purchase a replacement uk clip for the charger as they won't replace my broken one.
http://www.asusparts.eu/index.php?cPath=222155_222301
Prices are pretty good until you add the DHL cost to uk.
€6.67 plus vat for the clip and €17.55 for delivery.
May be cheaper if your in mainland Europe though.
May as well go to asus uk and get the full kit for £24.99 plus £6 delivery.
All I gotta say is Europeans are annoying! They keep bidding on my ebay items even though I specifically said US bidders only. For example, I just sold a hard drive to a European bidder. My shipping price was 9.99, but that was for US only! It's been like 4 days and the guy hasn't paid yet, so I had to relist.
Last night, I was able to find the settings to block foreign bidders.
Annoying Europeans... why don't they buy locally? Why bid on hard drives half a world away?

Totally agree with you there.
I wouldn't buy from US or China etc due to the high shipping costs.
I myself sell to UK only yet still get requests from Spain, Germany etc etc even though it's listed as uk only.
There certainly are a lot of empty heads about
Anyway I just ordered the new charger from Asus UK at £30.99 inc delivery and paid by paypal.
Hi all,
I've just seen a HTC Flyer for sale online (forgive me for not revealing my sources).
It's a fairly reputable auction site and 'apparently' it's 3 months new, 16GB Wi-Fi version with case, box, headphones, pen and a free 32GB MicroSD Card... looks ok in the pictures for cosmetic damage.
Seller wants £100 for it... What do you all think? Is it worth it? I know they still RRP for around £300+, so it could be a bargain!
Unsure.
cheers,
T-L-H
Lessee....that's about 150 USD, so yeah...thats a good deal.
I dunno what "3 months new" means but you'd be hard pressed to find a flyer that cheap over here even used. Best price I've seen is 180 USD refurbished.
I am selling mine on Swappa, it comes with more than just the unit, but am asking $335 for it.
http://swappa.com/listing/TKX494/view
Mine is listed in the XDA Marketplace w/ Scribe, Otterbox Case, charging dock and Screen Protectors.
Hi all,
I'll take a look at what you're offering but I don't think it'll compare to £100!
If anyone has a 3g version for sale, send me a pm so we can work something out (I'm in Texas).
Thats a fantastic deal. Maybe too good to be true. Is the seller reputable?
If its an auction, then 100 pounds is just the starting price or the current bid? Or a "buy it now" price?
If its just the starting price or current price, keep in mind that the huge majority of auction bidding happens in the last couple hours leading up to the auction end, even the last couple MINUTES.
With any online auction, make sure the seller (not just the website) has a good reputation. I typically will not even consider buying from somebody that has less then something like a 98% rating. A marginal or poor rating means, at a minimum, that the seller is not good at communicating (responding to inquiries or issues), and /or slow at shipping (none of which you want). Worst case, a bad rating means that they are a scam artist.
I'm not sure why people keep mentioning auctions or buy it now prices.
All I said was that the seller wants £100 for it, and that's the flat price.
I think it's an ok deal.

You said in your OP that it was on an auction website. So unless you explicitly note otherwise we might assume its . . . (wait for it) . . . AN AUCTION!!!!! Imagine that!!!
Also, I'm the only one that mentioned auctions or buy it now price, so I don't know why you're on about "why people keep mentioning . . .".
You haven't given many details, so its hard for anyone to say whether its a good deal or not. Is it available straight from this "fairly reputable auction site", or is it the type of site where individuals post things for sale (like eBay). If its an individual seller, do they have a good rating?
I have a HTC View that I would sell for $240 + shipping if anyone is interested, I think I'm going to list it in the XDA market place.
Flyer
Do you have a link to your Flyer on MarketPLace?
thx
I am in the US looking to buy one of these. Any recommended sellers?
From xperia blog they recommend Clove and Handtec from the UK. Handtec seems cheaper (vs ebay for perhaps better returns/warranty).
I'd appreciate any recommendations from people here who have purchased.
Handtec sells for $572. Ebay is closer to $540
If I do get it from ebay (from taiwan or HK), could I run into issues with languages?

I got one from clove. No issues.
Sent from my Nexus 5X
I purchased mines at Plemix for $520 + $28 shipping. Also purchased a Z1 compact there with no problems. Shipping was within 2 days so that's a plus. Currently, there's a free 32 GB memory card special until the end of the month. Haven't really had any issues with them and never really contacted customer service so I can't say anything about that. Not too sure about the returns/warranty but there's info about that on their website.
Thanks. Although from some quick research on Plemix I see some mixed reviews. I'm sure most of these places online are fine if everything goes smoothly. Its really when something goes wrong (ie. item arriving damanged, DOA) to see how it is handled.
I've also noticed that Amazon UK has it for cheaper than Clove and Handtec. The Xperiablog article said AmazonUK does not allow VAT to be excluded but it was excluded when I added it to the cart. Actually, I notice I can buy directly on Amazon US for around $540. I might just do that.

Isn't the one listed on amazon from third party retailers like expansys? I wonder how they handle returns just in case.. any idea??
I got mine from Amazon for $550 and received it next day thanks to Prime shipping. No issues.
I ended up ordering through amazon as well. I decided to save $10 and get the non-prime option. Although I ordered it Friday and it came today. I just wasnt at home to sign for it. (Missed the guy by 10min)
I think the only issue will be if I need to send it back for warranty. I'll have to pay shipping both ways to Hong Kong or Taiwan or wherever the phone originated from.

I live in Australia and have bought the z1 and z3 compact from Clove UK, have bought other tech from Handtek, had no problems or issues with using Australia cell provider, support or anything. I now have the z5 compact which I bought from ebay Quality Deals Store on Ebay when ebay had 20% off store wide recently, got it delivered for a bargain $600 AUD. The phone came quick, set it up in English easy and it works on Australian networks etc. Couldn't be happier ☺
Amazon was perfect for me. These past two weeks has it seldom carry the Z5c as Prime... usually a seller ships some 10 devices to Amazon's warehouses (to be categorized as Prime) but those fly off the shelves. In the past two weeks I have seem some 60 Z5c as Prime to disappear within hours, but if you look daily, they are there.
If you are in the US, at $550 Prime is worth it over ebay's $540 in my opinion; faster shipping and 30 days possibility to return it.
do you need amazon prime account for it? is this different from 3rd party sellers on amazon?
