Just thought i'd let you guys know that amazon.co.uk has stock(from hughes direct).
If anybody does order can you update us on whether they're working fully?
I can't paste the link cause i'm still a new user

Ta for teh update but hughes are selling for an inflated price.
When Amazon next get them in stock they will sell for 499 like everybody elase.
I would not pay over the odds myself and would wait for amazon to get stock or go elsewhere like ebuyer, currys etc and I don't think anybody else savvy enough to use this forum would either lol
Yea, I myself won't pay that much more! At the time though, it seemed they were the only people who had stock. I checked reevo just now, and there are a lot more stores that have in stock. I was more interested to see if they worked or not :x
I live in South Africa, and will be purchasing from the UK and would prefer to buy from a shop that I know has sold properly working units.

so where can get get one that works in the US?
Non works with US 3G yet
ebay or import one, only work on edge until north american version is released and even then it only has ATT 3G bands if that is important to you
T-Mobile USA
Simple question guys. I think the answer is 'yes' but I want to verify this with people w/ more experience.
Does the UK version of the Hero work w/ T-Mobile USA data network?
I'd like to get the Hero but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't work w/ my provider.
Sorry guys...found the answer on another thread
noob mistake
How trustworthy does this seller look to you guys?

It's cheaper than handtec, which is the best value I've found..
$400?! that's suspicious .. everyone else has it starting from $634
refurbished? it says new ..
the store has zero rating in google shopping
ohhh, now i see why, i'm sure they messed up the currency sign, hero costs 400 british pounds
That's possible.. but everything else on the site is also in dollars and relatively cheap compared to other places.
I guess it is too suspicious though, I'm not going to touch that one.
thinking about buying from mobilegadgetsonline.com
if anyone out there HAS bought from there i would appreciate a quick note about it.
i am thinking of buying from there as they are CHEAP!! CHEAP !! CHEAP!
but as some of you, i am skeptical as well.
they say that they are a new store, with new goods....
trying to obtain a sound customer base.
they also stated that the promo prices (which are fantastic) end on July 31st.
hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!?
if its to cheap.....
the alarm bells would be ringing for me
do your homework before you buy.
I would not deal with any company that does not have a land line phone number to call. Not that it makes a difference.
No Whois information either - I know for dot com it not needed, but hay. BEWARE
THATS A SCAM i recently purchased a hero from them and got an email saying ur order can not be prossesed because our credit card processors are down and you must send cash or money order your credit card was not charged
JerryBarcenas, which site did you buy it from so we can know where not to get it.
I'm waiting for the hero to come to the us and will hopefully get my unlocked hero by october/november
that mobilegadgetsonline is a scam however the next cheapest i found was integrontechnologies.com its 599 free shipping and has google checkout ill try them next if not ill just got to expansys i trust them
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
I guess I would recommend everyone to buy from expansys if they wanted to be safe.
During the upcoming week my sister is going to be in Berlin.
I was hoping that she could bring me back a nice little S2, however i don't want to send her searching all over the city.
Do you know of any store (physical, even better) that holds the Galaxy S2 (SIM Free!) in Berlin?
She's flying over on Monday, hope i can find something suitable by then.
Thanks to whoever tries to help.
Im not living in berlin, but she should try it in a store called media markt. they sell the gs2 but i cant tell you if they will have it there when she is in berlin. and a little advice. i think your sister is able to speak and read german right? if so then tell her to do this what im gonna tell you now. before she buys the gs2 in media markt, tell her to check the price at amazon.de!!! if the price at amazon.de is cheaper than in media markt, she can tell the employee the price from amazon.de because in most cases they sell the gs2 for the price from amazon.de!!! that way you can get it a bit cheaper!!! i hope i could help you a bit.
that's actually a lot of help, seeing how i don't know any german retail chains that's fantastic.
sadly, she doesn't know any german at all, though i think comparing prices with amazon.de should be fine.
however, the (w-ww.amazon.de/gp/product/B004XBQ9HK/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&psc=1) galaxy s2 on amazon.de has two versions, one's regular, and one's "import" - any idea what that means?
also, currently the (w-ww.mediamarkt.de/angebot/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s-ii) price on mediamarkt seems cheaper (or, very close after taxes) however, i don't know if that's sim free or not, and also if that "import" thing has any relations to it...
if anyone can shed any light on the matter, i'd be most grateful.
on a side note, does anyone have any idea if this version does NFC or not?
U might whant to check cyberport.de, too. That's where I bought mine for 550€. They have stores at Stadtmitte and Walther-Schreiber Platz.
Good luck
I am from Austria and i think i can help you in this matter.
The 'import' on amazon.de means that those phones are from the UK. I would buy it at one of the mediamarkts. They are really popular here in austria and germany. I guess there are at least four or five of them in Berlin. She could alternatively try it at the retailchain Saturn. They are very similiar to the mediamarkts, but i think the phone is in stock everywhere.
Good Luck!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Supermult said it all. If its simfree your sister can ask the staff there. They should be able to understand her
Btw we have no NFC here.
if you want to compare prices in germany's online stores, you should use www.gh.de imho one of the best platforms (despite the comments of the users there ...) here is the SGS2 link: http://gh.de/a615532.html
as for retail stores, the price you posted in Media Markt is definitly worth buying it, unless it's unlocked/unbranded and doesn't come with any contract.
Not to be mean but your sister should be aware that mostly (!!) the employees at Media Markt are a bunch of morons, so she should be well informed what she wants and don't ask them for advice.
Other stores she could try would be:
- Saturn (same as Media Markt) should be the same price as Media Markt
- cyberport (adress: Store Berlin-Steglitz, Walther-Schreiber-Platz 1, D-12161 Berlin) price between 545 and 569 euros
- ATELCO (adress: Filiale Berlin-Wedding, Oudenader Straße 16, D-13347 Berlin-Wedding) price around 566 euros
import means it's the european version (XEU) which is hard to get atm here in germany. Almost all devices are DBT (german retail). Just make sure it's unlocked and unbranded.
if you have any more questions feel free to pm me.
PS: I don't live in Berlin, so I can't help you with exact information.
I'm looking into getting the 16GB Korean version of the SGP because better specs and DMB. I live in the US, but I'm going to Korea this summer for two months and then moving to Korea permanently Feb 2013.
For people outside of Korea that got it, what website did you use to buy it? I've been looking across Gmarket, eBay, and just found exportprive today. About how much did you pay for it device + shipping?
I'm just thinking about cost comparison-wise whether I should get it now (because I'm sick of iTunes and the drawbacks to Apple; I have an iTouch) or wait until I'm there in June. One thing that I'm worried about that if I buy it online now and something goes wrong (like it bricks) that I'm potentially screwed unless I want to pay massive shipping fees to get it fixed (which I don't) or wait until I'm there this summer and harass someone at a Samsung mobile store.
I paid £130 for mine including shipping, on eBay. Got it fast and had no problems with it. Make sure you use pay pal though as if you get the device and its not working they will refund you ( I think ). Also I believe that for it to be bricked you have to be modifying the system and hacking it etc, in which case it would be your own fault. Hope thus helps.
Best buy for 210.00 8GB 5.0

He specifically said the Korean model... lol you've been commenting on a ton of stuff that's either old or already had answers...
unfortunately I bought in my country U$349
I have to decide whether or not to return my One X in the next few days. If you're in Chicago with one and willing to let me see your phone for a few min I can meet you anywhere and pay you for your time.
It is not out in the US yet.
Expansys is selling the international version.
I've read the are a few shops on Devon Ave selling them for $800. If they still have stock, maybe they willl allow you to test one.

Thanks for the tip. I live a good 45min from Devon Ave. Do you have a link to where you read that? I'd like to find out if they have any to look at before going.

Yep, found a store on Devon that has stock. He won't let me turn it on since they're all pre-sold but I can see how it feels in the hand, etc. Thanks again.
You are welcome. Sorry, I didn't get to you sooner with a specific link.
In case anyone else in Chicago is wondering the same, this is where I went today. Well worth the $10 in gas since it made me absolutely sure to return the One X and wait for the GSIII.

AT&T no longer sells it. The supposed links to the dock on ebay actually lead to other docks.
Would anyone be willing to sell their clampshell adjustable angle official asus padfone x dock?
I am also looking for one too
There's a sketchy website that claims to sell it, but apparently doesn't ship to the United States. If you know someone in Malaysia maybe you can get one, and if so get multiple and make a small profit on ebay. I'd be willing to send some money to someone if they ARE able to get this accessory in hand from this site.

It's not a sketchy website, it's one of the biggest dealers in Malaysia for smartphones and accessories. I've probably bought half a dozen phones from them. They're currently the only dealer I know off in this country selling these accessories.
I'd be able to get the accessory in hand, but I wouldn't trust mailing OUT of Malaysia to the US. I don't mind helping someone purchase some, if you have someone I could pass it to. Of course, they do delivery as well, so if you do have someone locally, you may as well get them to send it to the person.
Oh, that's good to hear. I found a proxy shipping company that says they will send to the US on my behalf, I will try ordering it through them. I'm open to recommendations if you know of any others.

Like I said, we (a group of users in Malaysia) haven't heard of anyone else bringing these in. Singapore is much more reliable, some of us have bought accessories from their shops.
