I'd recommend that you get the tmo version and not the international version unless you want to be stuck with 2g data.

im not planning to get any sort of data plan so it would be best for me to stick with the international version.
Is there any other reputable sources to buy the int. s3? it looks they they are only offering the white version...

Well there are two options for you. people have good reviews for both expansys-USA.com and for negrielectronics.com
You also have option to import from UK from websites like clove.co.uk
All these above websites will have atleast two weeks of lead time due to tons of pre orders. Average cost its just under seven hundred bucks.
If you want to spend some extra money you can get it from Ebay as well. Average cost here is about right hundred.

It's time for my upgrade
I think, great I'll get the HOX+
Orange UK don't hold it, so I thought I would use an online ship like phones4u, dialaphone, and the list goes on...
Some great deal, BUT they only hold the 32gb version in stock, with no idea when or if they'll get the 64gb in)
Can't afford to buy outright either
Bloody disgrace!

I got it from o2 the day it was released for an awesome deal, 179 Pounds upfront then 16.5 pounds a month for 24 months contract
Thanks for the replies
Can't afford to buy outright so no order from Cloves etc for me
Unfortunately Vodaphone don't have a great signal where I live so they are ruled out. O2 screwed me over a few yrs ago and I don't fancy getting screwed again!
Might ring Orange and ask when they are getting it... :banghead:

nevermind i see it...
Upgrades
The phone has only just gone on sale at p4u last Friday, for new contracts only. Upgrades are soon they say as I'm waiting for it. O2 had exclusive when it was released. A mate just got it on O2 upgrade.
I'm on Orange and if the store mgr of the p4u shop I went to had not checked I would have it now, checking again this Saturday.
Afaik Orange are not offering it direct yet.
FYI the 32Gig is the HTC one x and the 64Gig is the HTC one x+. I was tempted with the one xl for 4G ready but only 16Gig mem and the s4 CPU are the turning point for me.
With 4G not really going to be prominent in the UK for at least 12 months, I thought it best to get the x+.
The lack of sd port is not very nice and was tempted with the S3 LTE and note 2 but just love the sense UI. So I guess I will stick with it
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app
The phone on orange will either be the One X they are referring to or most orange/t-mobile stores are selling the 32GB HTC One XL as an upgrade to the HTC One X so you they might have meant that.
I thought that HOX+ was only 64gb but they do make a 32gb version too!
I'm really not sure whether to hold out and see what comes in a few weeks/month or just get the 32gb.
I currently have a 16gb SD Card in my DHD so I'll be doubling up.
Any p4u insiders know if 64gb is coming?

the 64 gig IS onsale at P4U on NEW contracts only atm. Im gonna see if i can get it tomorrow on upgrade as they said it would be a week to two weeks tops for it to be available there
Got an email yesterday saying
"Thank you for your recent email regarding the memory size of the HTC One X plus.
I have looked into your query and I can confirm that the size if the 64GB, however it does not support the SD card expansion. I have been happy to look into your query."
I'm expecting a call from them today so will insist I get the 64gb!

I went to a couple of Walmarts in my area today (Mississauga/Toronto). It didn't look like they had any in the store. I even asked a couple of people who worked there and they kept on telling me I was confused with the nexus 7.
They don't sell them at Walmart in Canada, but they do in the US!

Just got Nexus 10 in Canada
I live in Vancouver and I just got my Nexus 10 last week. Here are the things I did:
1. Register an account at a pick-up location at the US border. There are many pick-up locations servicing Canadians at the border. You just need to pay $3 to $5 for each item shipped there.
2. Change the credit card billing address to that US pick-up location, for just one day.
3. Search on google for a "high anonymity" proxy server in the US. Enter its IP address and port number into your browser settings. This is to trick the google play store that you are located in USA instead of Canada.
4. Now go to google play store. What you will see is the US store instead of the Canada store.
5. Both 16GB and 32GB models are available. It says "ship in 1 to 2 weeks" for the 32GB model. I ordered it using the credit card with the US billing address. It shipped within 2 days.
6. When the item arrives the pick-up location, you will normally receive an e-mail from that location. Drive across the border to there and pay a few dollars to pick it up.
7. Just unbox it, take the tablet and all the accessories. If you want the original box, just mail it back to Canada and don't bring it together with yourself. This is to prevent custom duty when crossing the border back to Canada.
8. If you want to save the State tax (8.7% in Washington State), you can register an account at reship.com. They are located in Oregon so that you don't need to pay any state tax. Have google store ship to them, and they will re-ship your tablet to the US border. You just need to pay a fee to reship.com and it's cheaper than the state tax.
16gb now available on the Canadian play store.
Hurray gonna get one as soon as I get home

So what? True or not, its not like the Nexus 10 is not powerful enough. And that would still be in a couple months.
I'd rather have a Nexus 10 tomorrow than have a revised Nexus 10 in 3 months. Its not wasted money, you still have your Nexus 10.
I ordered one today. Funny thing is it was "Estimate Delivery : 25th January" then "Estimated Shipping : 25th January" and now "Delivered" lol.
Lol good point, and I just ordered my n10, can't wait!

Amazon Canada rip off
I have been patiently waiting for the Nexus 10 32GB to be available on the Google Play store. I just check what Amazon Canada had available for Nexus 10 accessories and came across this link:
http://www.amazon.ca/Google-Nexus-1...I202/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359063316&sr=8-2
They are selling the 32GB version for an unbelievable 699.99 CDN + $ 54.09 shipping, compared to Googles Playstore $509 CDN
That is simply disgusting.

That's the Nexus 4. The Nexus 10, regardless of the price is the first tablet to compete with the iPad (through pure android, hires, build). So yeah the price is a perk but not the whole point of it like at 100$ less, vs the Nexus 4 which is half price at similar quality/feature.
But no, I wouldn't buy any tablet for 700$.

Ordered from the US store to ship here to Dubai.
This time Band 3 is supported on both the US and International models so not an issue.
Ordered from the US store, 128gb, black, to be shipped to Oman via aramex.
Also, Have a friend who works in huwawi here who is high in the chain of command, ordered 2 pcs of 128gb, he said he will bring them with him next week once he is back from his trip to HQ in China.
Fingers crossed so I might get mine next week.
