Just a poll to see where people in the UK have got their TouchPad's from.
EDIT: If you choose Somewhere else please list it in the thread. Thanks!
I've voted under Play.com - but order went through at full price of £349
don't know whether they are now sold out at full price
and don't know whether I'd be able to argue them down to reduced price once it arrives, or whether I'll have to return it.
I'm not keeping at at £260 more than everyone else!!
I'm a 'Somewhere Else'
Today I got my 32Gb for £115 inc VAT through work. Luckily for me I work for a Trade Only IT disti. It's coming on the lorry Thursday, with a hundred or so others for all the guys and gals here (at the office). TouchPad's will outnumber iPads here
Looking forward to this...
Staples online, and had phone call to confirm it (they are doing fraud checks on all orders apparently, and I got my confirmation after the call)

As I said, UK only. Sorry.

I bought over the phone from Carphone Warehouse, so I had to vote "other".
Work for a distributor and they put 50 of each aside in our office for people to buy. Went pretty sharply!
....waiting on the Pre 3 now *wink* *wink*
what a well designed poll when most people are "other"
wow only 21 people have got one?
Voters: 21
Just got one from Argos. Really nice tablet, want to overclock it straight away.

Yeah I know . I've been playing around with it for 30 minutes and it's a steal at this price. Not worth £350 though. I heard HP were getting another batch in, so I'd be surprised if everyone who wanted one didn't get one. The IPS panel really is beautiful.
Hope you all get one soon.
got mine from comet £89 got email plus a call confirming a september 5th delivary
Insight UK, got 4 for work n play! Only 90 quid each for 16GB ones!!

Managed to get mine from carphone warehouse, they had already sold out but I persuaded them to locate a couple for me. Received them today, very happy with it so far, the touchpad has massive potential.
edit: argos told me they still have stock left iin their warehouse
Staples uk has dispatched mine.
Mine shipped from Amazon themselves this afternoon. It`s a 32Gb one and still at £429.99 so might yet go back. Was ordered 10.30pm Monday got a "We know about the pricing. You`ll have to wait and see in 3-5 days for an answer."
reply to my email
happy enough to say I (almost) have one now from play.com - after the mega headache of 'wont drop the price' saga.
it should arrive tomorrow...
Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning
Hey guys, I saw this posted over on SlickDeals and didn't see it posted on XDA. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.
Buy.com has the 16GB Flyer for $199.99 with free shipping. It is a refurbished unit, so hopefully everything works properly. I'm not sure about international shipping charges, I imagine it is only free to the US (could be wrong though).
I jumped on the View 4G sale a month ago for $230~ so this seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe we'll see a surge in the forums with these recent firesales.
I'm really considering getting one. Not really sure how long the sale is for. I might return my galaxy tab 7 plus and pick this baby up. I am just worried we won't get ICS for it.

I got one
I bought one of these yesterday at 6pm, paid for 2 day shipping and it arrived today at 2pm - 20 hours!!!
It looks great, like I just took it out of the original wrapper. I tried it for a few minutes, then upgraded (I guess that's debatable) to honeycomb. It's leedroid version, so I suppose it should be pretty good.
Now this is the first thread I read in the general section... what ever happened to the days when I would read for days on how to root a new system
I ordered one also. Should be here today with the "cheap" shipping option. Glad to hear the refurbished ones look like new.
So I've been thinking of buying one, do you guys think it's worth it or wait for the Asus 7" tab to come out?
Sent from my GT-P7510
Never know when the Asus tab will come out.
If you want something now, grab this. I played with the wimax version of the flyer in the sprint store, it's really nice.
I'm not banking on the flyer/view getting ICS at all though. I'm just going to use it for what it is.
Will the Asus Tab have an active digitizer? I have read conflicting versions about this.
$10 off Coupon for flyer buy.com purchase!
All, here's a $10 off coupon to use towards that flyer purchase, if you're new to buy.com. it's valid til 3.31.12: http://www.dealigg.com/out.php?id=33516

I've never heard mention of an active digitizer for the asus tablet. There's really not enough solid information out there.
Purchased $199 Flyer Arrived Today - NO PEN
Did you all get the pen that comes with the tablet from buy.com? Mine did not and I wanted to check to see if it was not included or just missing?! Thanks
I also picked one up for 189. I really hope to get some use out of this at work. I want to replace a ton of paper I generate travelling around from mtg to mtg. I really don't understand why there aren't more pen based tablets out there. If this doesn't work, for 189, I'll just give it to one of my kids to draw on /watch videos.
Based on slick deals advice I got a pen at b&h for $30 shipped. Its a one button model (I have ho idea what that means yet) arrived in a day. Item number FUFPCPN36AP

I almost freaked out when it shot up to $229 on the 16th but then I checked about 3 hours later and it was back to $199. Ordered it immediately after, just in case. Wondered if there was a glitch on their site.

My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months

Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

Can you tell me which one you bought? I need to buy one and I want to be sure to buy one that will work.
I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!
What's up everyone, made a new account but am familiar with the xda squad.
Anyways, I just placed an order yesterday (My birthday!) for the Sony Xperia ZU C6833 (Version suited for 4G LTE) from atgsm.com
It's based in New York and they sell other phones as well. I plan on using this with my T-Mobile account and their 4G LTE service. I received a call from them today saying they got a wrong shipment, they got the C6802 instead. The lady told me I had to wait another week or so for the new shipment to come in, in this case the C6833 (4G LTE)
Does anyone here have the C6833 already and is this normal for them to get wrong shipments and/or has the device simply JUST released? And if so where did you get it from? I'm sure I'm not being scammed as I've read about others buying the C6802 from atgsm.com so nothing to worry about there.
Thoughts and comments?
Thanks for your kind understanding!
Oh man..sorry to hear.
I almost pull the trigger with them last week. I emailed them and asked them if they have the c6833 in stock. They replied with a YES. But then i found a better deal on ebay $710 bases out of Texas. I checked their feedbacks and saw that 4 folks had already received their c6833 with no complaints. So i went with the Texas shop. Its coming Monday. I hope im getting the c6833.
I hope you will sort things out smoothly with yours. But i hate the fact that they lied. And also the wait.
Thanks bro appreciate the info, could you be kind to link me the ebay post if it's still available? I can still cancel my order. I already ordered a case and some screen protectors so I'll need the phone asap, it's a nightmare looking at a leather case without anything to put in it lol.

If you want, i can link you. You then can send them an offer them $710 with free shipping any colors. They might accept.
Here is the link. Im in california and i bought this 2 days ago. I already got my tracking info. Good luck.

I want to keep the sony logo on the front. I just bought the full front and back screen protectors from Xtremeguard. I youtubed their products and they are awesome, especially for $6, the Spigen glass is too expensive and again..the wait. I also bought one of those thin flip cover from China. Im planning to purchase an OTG cable for reading thumbdrive directly to the phone. I was gonna pick up a magnetic dock charger, but too many bad reviews on it.. I will also buy the sbh52 bluetooth headset when it comes out.
Nice! Where can i find the cable to read USB drives directly? Does it read it just like a regular micro SD card or any other external storage device?
Also, do you think it's possible to have an HDMI output on the device or some sort of adapter so I can connect it to a projector or a tv? That'd be awesome!

Hey guys, my name is Jorge and im new to the forum. I ordered my C6833 from Negri Electronics last Friday and it came in on Wednesday with a little help from 2nd day shipping. First time ordering from them, but they were helpful every step of the way. One thing that annoyed me about Negri was their constant price decreases. The phone had went down in price twice before I had even received my phone!! I was given a price break refund so I cannot complain too much. Hopefully you get yours soon. Its a really fun phone. :good:

Thanks Jorge for your input!! I couldn't order from negrielectronics.com NOT because of their reputation, I've watched countless review videos on YouTube and most of them got their phones and supplies from them, but rather because of the price. I could always cancel my order if something happened to go wrong or if they just took too long, resting assured that my money is still safe as they only charge the credit card once they ship out.
Hopefully you can post up some pics of the phone and whatever accessories you'll put on the Xperia ZU! It really is one hell of a phone, I'm coming from an SG3 haha. Let me know how your service with them was and are you ready to root it and put a custom UI so you can maximize the screen and use it in tablet mode/phone mode at will?

aww man. I see what you mean. I got anxious to order since I had been waiting on it for months, so I just pulled the trigger. $100 dollars difference is quite a bit. I just checked and it is only 30$ more than atgsm.com price is currently, but im sure that will come down again in the next couple of days. I contacted Negri about a price match once again, so we shall see what they say.
I ordered the Incipio Feather case and chopped that up since they left out the magnetic charge port. Made a thread with pics in the ZU accessories section you wanted to check that out. other than that I am waiting on the tempered glass screen protector to come out. I too am coming from GS3, and theres no comparison on sonys UI and touchwiz. Sonys version of android just feels so much better IMO. But thats probably because I came from iphone before that.
I have very good experiences from AtGSM, I bought both the Xperia Z and the Z Ultra from them and that was by visiting the store itself. I like their product selection and that they got new devices in stock quickly, it just took a few days from that Sony started shipping the Ultras back in August before they received them.
So I can recommend the store. For those living in New York, it is actually worth to visit them since it is a different experience - the store is a small office actually. Not like a cellular store with demo devices etc, just this office with a store room at the back. They always show the device to you so you can check it out before taking the final decision.

Thanks man I appreciate the input! And that makes me feel a lot better,I order on Sept. 18 so in couple of days they SHOULD be having the C6833 in stock now. I couldn't wait for the US version I needed it now! Besides, the US and INT versions are both the same except for AT&T users, which I'm not (T-Mobile) and I should be able to connect to their 4G LTE speeds if I'm correct.
Thanks again, I'm based on the west coast o I don't think I'll be visiting their office anytime soon, but definitely I'll order there again if I need anything and they have it at a discounted price.
I just picked mine up from Overseas Electronics on Saturday for $760 after tax (I believe they have it in every color. I got mine in black). Since they're located in Chicago and I'm only an hour away, I just made the drive up to their shop and picked it up. All I can say is this thing's awesome, although I'll admit the battery issue needs to be addressed and the touchscreen on my device needs to be recalibrated. The manager also informed me that the new headset and smartwatch will be in stock this week, so I'll eventually get my hands on the SBH as well. Be sure to check them out though!

Wow man.. you look all ready and set! The magnetic transfer/charging cable is a must have although I'm not getting it just yet, I'll be alright wit the standard micro usb cable for now.
Mind I ask, what firmware do you have? And are you using something like CM because you transferred everything and all your info to your phone at once? I'm new to Sony and I'm not that familiar with it's rooting process, I for SURE don't wan a brick! Samsungs are more of my specialty but I need just some quick tips preferably from someone who already has done it. (I've seen the forums on here about rooting/troubleshooting as it's sometimes darn confusing!)
Thanks for the info on FedEx shipping out your phone though, hope you enjoy your device! I can't wait or mine, it's coming Friday!

If you purchased it, and received it (receive date is what matters) any time from November 27th up until today, you will be fine. Just go to the Google website and contact them through chat. They will adjust the price for you.

Ah, yeah, I placed the order for mine on 11/6 (and that particular order shipped before my original pre-order even processed...) so I doubt they'll honor the request, but I'll ask anyways. I feel like my order was just long ago enough that they won't do the price adjustment, but the $50 off promotion is just close enough to my order date for it to sting.
Just a heads up, if you bought your phone from Project Fi, the promo is apparently not eligible. I bought mine from Project Fi on Sunday and just saw this promo so I called to get the credit and had to jump through quite a few loops in order to get credit.
Wish they would credit me the $18.99 I paid yesterday for overnight shipping since it's free now...
This did not work for me. They told me only orders made from 12/1 to 12/15 are eligible for price adjustments. They did say I can just return my phone and order a new one. Placed an order for a new one. Should arrive tomorrow or the next. Guess it's time to make a nandroid backup.
Thanks for the heads up on this information.
FYI: I ordered on 11/27 and received it 11/30. ugh. 1 freaking day.
Project Fi and they refunded shipping and $50
I ordered and received mine mid November assuming the price wouldn't drop so quickly, given Google discounted only the 5X early on. And now I see this...get facked Google. This is exactly why Google and Android as a whole will never come close to Apple when it comes to brand cachet. I can barely understand them discounting the 5X so quickly, but given the 6P isn't even 3 months old yet, and is their flagship phone, it's unbelievable they're already offering such a discount on them.
Say what you want about Apple's ecosystem, at least their devices don't go straight into the bargain bin in a matter of 3-6 months. The amount the Nexus 6 tanked on Black Friday on Amazon was just ridiculous, relative to what it originally costed just a year ago.

This did not work for me. They told me only orders made from 12/1 to 12/15 are eligible for price adjustments. They did say I can just return my phone and order a new one. Placed an order for a new one. Should arrive tomorrow or the next. Guess it's time to make a nandroid backup.
Thanks for the heads up on this information.
FYI: I ordered on 11/27 and received it 11/30. ugh. 1 freaking day.

Yes same here, there are multiple posts on Reddit confirming the Dec 1 date from Google Customer Service reps (perhaps 15 day price match policy). I ordered a 6P on 11/27 as a Christmas gift for someone. I submitted a return for it today and ordered another one to get the -$50 discount. I know this is cheap, but it hasn't even been opened since it's a Xmas gift. Thankfully Google covers shipping.
I just ordered one today. Will be coming from an LG G4. Was originally going to get the 5x but didn't like the specs of it too much and the 6p was a bit too expensive. Can't wait

Just a heads up, if you bought your phone from Project Fi, the promo is apparently not eligible. I bought mine from Project Fi on Sunday and just saw this promo so I called to get the credit and had to jump through quite a few loops in order to get credit.

I did order mine yesterday with the Project Fi Financing. I got both the discount and free shipping.

Let's just say they haven't been consistent...
