Import Lumia 800 to Sweden?
How do I do that?
anything special I should consider?
I got no experience of importing stuff haha Help please?
Probably easiest to order from Amazon.de.
German eBay might be a good option also.
So long as you order from another EU country you wont have to do anything special.
Just expect your P&P will be a little higher
Ah okej! Thanks guys, ill check Amazon.de out!
Just ordered mine from Netonnet! They import it from Germany, apparantly.
It will arrive later today, at least the tracking service says so.
A bit easier than importing from Germany yourself...

It is basically the same thing. You pay for the phone at Amazon.de (or whatever retailer you chose) and they ship the phone to you. Same thing as ordering from Sweden. Bought my Mozart from Germany last year.
Yes, of course. But I prefer to deal with warranty issues etc in Swedish, hence buying it from Sweden rather than Germany ;-)

Anyone know if or when the Samsung Galaxy S 2 will be sold in stores in Hong Kong?
I'm going to be heading there next week and would love to pick up this beast!
The S2 will not be available until sometime in June. You could buy a UK version for about HKD$6300. But stocks are very limited.
I got mine last week and it's the Korea version S2.
order in expansys just HKD$5880
so it'll hit stores in June? I'm gonna be there till from beginning of June till end of July so hopefully I can pick one up there!
Purchased mine in Hong Kong last week from Expansys at $5880 also, no problems so far, when I spoke to them, these are actually UK Handsets they are getting shipped in from their UK warehouse but they do support full chinese symbology which is also great. They come debranded with the XEU firmware.
Is there an actual Expansys store in Hong Kong that I can purchase from? or do you have to order from them online? Thanks!

I've buy it for HKD $6180, at causeway bay (Germany version)
Was that the best price you could get it for, or like was it one of the only stores around that sold it? And when did you buy it also, cuz I'm wondering if any would have them in stock.
Just wondering do you live in hong kong? If so, you think sin tat plaza would have it for cheaper? And do you think it is reliable to buy from one of those vendors? E.g. I want to look out for buying a counterfeit/fake or a used one.
Also do vendors at sin tat plaza would buy a used phone from me?
now can buy
Might i ask where you can buy it? And say the range you'd get it for?
Would be nice if someone can recommend a shop which won't sell me a counterfeit or used one and has a good deal.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Soooooo, no one? Love it if I could get some more info.

I would not buy at Sin Tat. All those little shops look like crooks to me and that **** hole smells like smoke as sellers continue to smoke there even prohibited. It is basically to rip off the china mainlanders and women and foreigners that don't know they are paying for. Buy from a legit shop. There are plenty nowadays. As for the Galaxy S 2, they have the imported (grey market) ones now for about 6000hkd. I am personally waiting for it to arrive to CSL or 1010 carrier so I can renew my contract. If anyone else has more information on what stores they got theirs from, I would like to know too. Only place I saw is Citylink in MK.
Ah thanks, was afraid sin tat would be something like that since my cousin warned me of hk, just can't think of anywhere else to go.
Guess I'll try to check out citylink, I knew they'd all be grey marketed anyways but thanks for the info.
What's your estimate on how long it'll take from tin shui wai to mong kok from train, etc?
Kind of a stupid question, but any idea on how I may be able to tell if it's a legit shop? E.g In mong kok, are most shops legit? Or say like the shops in tourist shopping areas like causeway bay, kowloon city, etc, is it safe to say most shops there are legit?
Thanks man for the info, you've been most helpful.

Hong Kong version always is better because most are factory´s unlocked
As someone else stated before, you can get it from Expansys, but technically you can get that from most other countries as well. Expansys Hong Kong ships the UK without NFC version, which works on quadband 2G/3G. Very fast.
At the moment, it isn't out in Hong Kong yet, and yes - the local smaller vendors charge an arm and a leg for a total of $6300 HKD ish from the places I went. I only found it at Sin Tat.
Not sure if the ones they sell there are UK or Korean versions, but I heard the Korean versions run under Korean networks which means it's NOT quadband 2G/3G.
TIP: Check Settings -> About Phone - make sure it's not the Korean version.
I talked to Broadway and Fortress, but no one has any lead time for the Hong Kong versions of the phone. I just ended up buying the non-NFC UK version. I'm impatient (plus the non-NFC version is thinner).
I'm not sure, but the word online is the Hong Kong SGS II is going to be running on the Tegra 2. Of course, this is unconfirmed. No real retail store will give you any details (unless you got hook ups -- in that case, give me the juicy details too).
Xian da guang chang (Sin Tat Plaza) is a total rip-off stay away, also most of the little electrical shops on the golden mile in TST.
Buy from a large retailer such as PCCW, Fortune and eXpansys, dont get halled in by the small shops offering you one for 4kHKD to find out when you leave the box is empty, there are so many scams.
Thanks so much for the replies. I was thinking of ordering from expansys hk when i get there but im wondering how the mailing system works there, and how much taxes i have to pay, especially since im a visitor.
Also is it safe/profitable to sell an old phone at hk? Or like will the vendors buy?

Hey all ,
I want to buy this watch and I noticed many sells on eBay from south korea.
watch has a very good price and according to the list it should work fine in my country as far as bands.
also asked the seller if I'll get FOTA updates and he said that yeah.
so my question is , can anyone think on other reasons why I shouldn't buy it from there?
sell for example : http://www.ebay.com/itm/321576361962
Thanks for your help
On the side of pessimistic, I'm always very careful about ordering anything from overseas. Mainly cuz what if something goes wrong???
Once i ordered a fairly expensive HD IP Cam from Asia, and when it arrived it was clearly a fake. The worse case I know of, is a co-worker that ordered an Galaxy
S5 from Korea at a great price.
After a few weeks, weird things began happening.
By utilizing a few sites that specialize in spotting fakes, he would've never been able to tell that he got taken and bought a cheap clone. And the kicker of this story, the fine print in the con's listing forced ebay to rule in his favor.
So overall, try to order products from US vendors and be sure to read the description in its entirety.
Sorta like the guy that bought a picture of a gold iPhone for big $$$, cuz he didn't read (or maybe doesn't know how).
Good luck!!!

I think that for hige-end devices such as this it would be very easy to spot a fake product , for example , curved screen is not something that every manufacturer can make.
and as you said , ebay buyer protection plan can always save you.
in addition there's the whole feedback system that if you know how to work with you can figure within 2-5 minutes of investigation if the seller is reliable or not.
my main concerns are about the version of the watch , will all apps work on it etc.

Don't be so sure on the looks alone. Take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/gear-s-150-t3001480
First off. This model won't work in the US.
There are a lot of different versions of the GS... Each for a different segment of the world. I would do some 2G/3G/4G frequency research on the model you're buying and the provider you'll be using it with. Also, make sure it's factory unlocked... Trying to get it unlocked from another country would near impossible.

yeah , $150 for a brand new watch is of course a ripoff.
you're right , the south korean watch won't work in north america , but as you can see I'm not from US
I guess I will cancel this order though , since I found other seller from Europe who also promise to cover any customs duties if it gets stopped.
There ya go... Congrats, you'll love this watch!!!

I did buy mine from Korea, and I'm from the UK. The problem is that you got to pay import charges, that will be 50.

it's more or less the same price when you calculate it. if you buy it from your country or import it/ the charges will add up like you brought it locally.

hello... how is this cover? could be bad??? i live in italy and don't want buy in usa or china for long time shipment... other suggest? thanks
http://www.ebay.it/itm/Quick-Circle...LH_DefaultDomain_101&var=&hash=item27fc7faa7a
I have an LG quick circle case, and I live in Italy. Hard to say if the one in your link is OEM or aftermarket, it is cheaper, but then you take the risk. Try looking at amazon.de they are usually cheaper than Italy (saved 100 euro+ on the phone ) and shipping is not bad. I have received items quicker from Germany than from inside Italy, but not always.
Unfortunately something appears to have changed with the shipping to Italy recently, so companies I purchased from late last year no longer ship to Italy, but amazon does with no problem. I only use e-bay as a last resort, just too many problems for me over the years.

Has anyone ever bought off of www_dot_gadgetgear_dot_ca ? It would appear that the Australian version of this site has been running for some time... The phone prices are very cheap, a little too cheap to be a legit seller.
Besides this website, are there any other places for a Canadian to purchase this phone?
Thanks - Jeff
I took a quick look at the the Canadian Gadget Gear site - around CAD $675 for the black or coral Z5C seems quite reasonable, it's slightly cheaper than what Expansys has right now; where it's CAD $695+tax. Strange that they have so much variation tho; the white Z5C is listed as only CAD $420, which is exceptionally - almost suspiciously - cheap. I went partway through their checkout, and I see no mention of charging Canadian taxes, which is also a bit odd - it means you might be on the hook for import duties.
I purchased my Z5C in Canada from Expansys (dot ca), and I didn't have any issues with them. Arrived quickly, no worries about import duties. (You are paying Canadian tax on it, of course, which ends up costing about the same as import duties would.) The phone I got was factory unlocked (no carrier), and appears to have been for either the Hong Kong or Taiwan market, but was easy enough to set to English.

I got an E5823 in white, and I'm using it on Koodo (Telus). It should work on any Canadian carrier except Wind and Moblicity, I think. I've had no issues with LTE.
I'm going to the Beijing area later this month. I'm thinking about picking up an Amazfit in a store. It should be easy enough to change it into English firmware or PACEify it.
Has anyone bought it in a store in China? I wonder which stores are selling it - any electronics store or just Xiaomi branded stores and what price to expect?
Don't know what price are at in China but I got mine online for $104 us dollars.
I'm Europe based, and in order to avoid VAT and admin. fees by importing from US or China-based online webshops I have to buy through Europe-based resellers - and then the price is something like >$200 according to my research. So it would just be easier (cheaper), when I am in China to buy one there if possible.

I'm based in europe and the price I paid was £82 from gearbest and also geekbuying (I bought 2 amazfits).
You don't pay any VAT or admin tools from either of those retailers if you just choose the standard delivery method,.

UK.
I'm in Denmark. So gearbest ship from within the EU? Maybe I'll look it up.
Though still traveling to China so if anyone have information about getting one of these out there let me know.
Check with some aliexpress seller (sort by number of orders) and ask them from what town they are. Maybe you will be near them, so you can make personal deal. Or just order from aliexpress and put the adress for delivery where you will be in that time. Easy as that
You can do same with Gearbest/geekbuyibg, etc.

Yes gearbest ship to the EU. Though recently I've had a better experience with geekbuying (their shipping was much faster)
I think buying online would actually end up being less hassle than buying in China, and I'm not convinced there would be a huge saving anyway. At least with buying online you have some protection and after sales support.

No they are not shipping from the EU, but they have found a way to avoid for you to pay taxes.
Probably won't last after brexit, as it is rumored that they ship via UK and then avoid taxes at all.
Just a short update. I ended up buying Amazfit Pace from the Xiaomi store in the shopping mall 'Modern Plaza' (https://goo.gl/maps/ETduKM7SLcw) in Beijing. Easily accessed by the subway.
The unit price was 799 Yuan. No problems by installing English firmware and updating to 1.3.4f.
I did look for it other places but couldn't find it anywhere. I found most resellers only had a few Xiaomi phones and sometimes more simpler fitness trackers.
