You may have to pay import taxes, which is 20%.

I would wait until May for the UK release. For the sake of waiting a few more weeks it'll save a lot of hassle if you get one that has 'issues'

Don't know about it, but kindly confirm the seller before purchasing.

Make sure seller is highly rated do not buy from seller who has got bad feedback or small amount of feedbacks. Ask them before purchase if it is gonna work in the UK. Charging will be different than UK standards you have to buy your own one that's for sure. Be very careful you can't risk that much money pay with PayPal and if it is OK make the payment "pay after delivery" .

It looks as if you only get a 1 year warranty compared to the usual 2 year warranty. I personally would rather wait a couple of weeks and get it from the UK. Imagine 6 months down the line you need to send it for repair under warranty...to China!!! Or you get one with a defect and need to return it. To me it would be too much of a pain for the sake of waiting. Just my opinion though [emoji6]...

so i came across this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...0903653540?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2ec6ca78a4
Whats the catch... is this a contract (not sure if ebay supports contracts)? is this a fake? is the title misleading and you only get the box?
help me find out what the catch is... no one sells a phone for $15
EDIT: new link (old one got removed and is no longer available, same guy selling and more people are buying...
sketchy
If it's too good to be true... it cost the seller more in shipping from china to us. Also the seller shows no sale history or feedback, even when it states that 51 were sold. Sounds like a scam.

I buy a lot of stuff off eBay, and that looks REALLY sketchy, for a number of reasons. The seller has no prior feedback, either as a buyer or seller, he's sold 52 of them, and nobody has left any feedback on him, even though some of the buyers have lots of feedback, and he hasn't left any on any of the buyers pages. Lots of red flags, but it's only $15, try it, and tell us what happened. :good:
EDIT - The sales jumped from 51 to 60 in the time to type out my message, sounds like a scam.

Wats up guys, well I bought two of these two days ago and thought to share it with everyone here at XDA. I trust the seller and if you dont its your own thing but hes selling brand new white back covers for our HTC AMAZE 4G for only $8.81 and FREE SHIPPING!!!!
Mods please dont remove this thread because its an ebay link, I am not selling these just letting you know, I just wanted to share with others. Heres the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281124879552?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
ONLY 2 LEFT SO YOU BETTER HURRY IF YOU WANT ONE!!! And check his other selling items because he has lots of OEM stuff and used versions of this cover. I'll be getting them in the mail by like next monday so I'll leave my feedback here.
Well I just got my two in the mail and they're horrible and not new at all. There are scratches and damages all over the case. I'm getting a replacement or money back somehow so I advise you guys not to buy it.

This is why I hesitate to buy stuff from Ebay. Tired of these junky sellers. Even some of the ones with <99.5% good feedback are troublesome. Maybe ebay should get a better feedback system.

I prefer the black one anyway.
My phone was "white" and my daughters "black", but I swapped backs with her - and she wants the black one back, lol.
Well another update the seller sent a brand new replacement to me and then refunded me I guess I was being a little pushy and annoying but I got my money back and also kept the cases lol I have 3 white now and my old black one.

Most of you know me, or have seen me around.... so are probably aware of my, 8 week cold turkey stint without my Ultra.
Reason being: There was a small repair needed.
... However today I took my family on a small tramp, in the sun, to a water hole for a swim..
I was taking some picture with my Ultra, and the screen started flickering... so i powered it off and then back on... 'black screen'
Everything was still working, but black screen. (obviously can't see anything) Went to do a hard power off, by holding the red button, and hmmm whats that. the white humidity paper is red. **crap!** the lens on both the front and back have fog all over them. No I've never even taken my device underwater, it may have received a few splash's today, but caps are always closed... and they were today.
conclusion:
The last repair was completed, and the device was not sealed properly...
So... awaiting a response to my rather lengthy email... (very polite) and will see what the company say whom i bought it from.
They are based in Hong Kong, and it cost me $120 NZD to send it there and back... (I had to pay both freight costs)
SO.... there you go. fricken awesome! My device is dead again!
Oh god no.. I don't know what to say. The typical thing now is that you'll ship it away (again) and we'll receive 4.4 the day after. Just watch it happen.
hey lord I send you a private message. nothing important but. i'm going off topic but can you tell me or any body knows how to make the screen home page larger or to expend once the DPI has downsize to 280 DPI
In the imortial words of Toyta: Bugger
Oh man that sucks. Maybe you could buy a new one and when this one finished, you just have to sell it?

Oh my ... Sorry for your loss :/
They can't replace it instead of repairing ? i mean that's a lot of money especialy if you have to send it back again !
Yeah, Thats what I'm saying man. The freight charges could have paid for another phone. I'm sure there's some reputable online retailers that does RMA for free?

I've used it in the rain, before I had the initial repair. worked fine, the humidity paper was still white. BUt the last repair company was complete rubbish. Was not my call as it was shipped to Hong Kong (where i purchased it) and they had it repaired.
So if your device is new, and not been opened then you're safe.

Yeah i'll get it repaired, and then sell it. I've bough a C6833 in New Zealand. Its not a sony store, but at least I don't have to ship it overseas. Should arrive next week I'm guessing. I was looking at the Z1.... but just couldn't do it. size of screen is obviously more important to me than a better camera... plus i have the QX10 so there's that.

I've been trying to get one for so long but I'm a cheapskate! I would have given away my OEM wireless cover, Spigen Slim Armor, Bear Motion bumper, and more. I've already given away an unused Caseology case and ordered a battery door with microSD/SD adapter I didn't need (to experiment on for others here who asked me to) , so I'm already paying it forward.

I doubt it will get to me but I would really love this case. I currently just have the cheap Spigen case and it doesn't offer much protection. I have looked at this case for awhile but just never had the extra cash to get it.

Thank you! I never knew about XDA until I got my Note 3 and the forums have helped me from day 1 of my purchase. Seeing as how they are expensive cases and I recently started doing well financially (well... better than I was at least haha) I thought I would make someone smile!
I'd like to rush out tomorrow and buy one but my local shops in the East Midlands don't even think this phone is released until mid may.
Anyone know of any shops that are selling it? Even the Sony site says its preorder only still.
Thanks
