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 is the original samsung gear s with sim/wifi. the other problem is because its from Korea the navigation is not there on the watch all thou i updated it through samsung kies3 app.

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.

Buy it if you don't mind the trouble and long delivery time.

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?
http://mobilegadgetsonline.com/HTC/HTC-Hero-Android-White-Smartphone-Unlocked-p6.html
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.
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.

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
This country is 9 times out of 10 a complete and utter rip off of the highest order in every respect so imagine my surprise when i click on eMobile and Meteor websites and you can purchase the Galaxy S3 for €599 on pay as you go that's actually cheaper than Amazon.de which comes in at €617 including postage, i was astounded as generally id expect a phone like this especially in Ireland to come in nearer the €700 mark, this is actually the cheapest ive seen yet, Amazon and Carphone Warehouse,etc charge 499 sterling which is about 627 euro.
I assume the phone is locked to these networks but no doubt it can be unlocked for free or a small fee.
PS - Both these mobile providers ive been with before and are useless especially Meteor the worst customer service of all time but if your just buying the phone outright throw away the SIM, get it unlocked and away you go.

Why is that cheap? We pay about 584€ in Germany to get a non-branded S3, tax and shipment included

I assume you are talking about....
Amazon.de comes in at http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Smartp...R8XB7XF&s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1338325215&sr=1-1
which is great if you live in Germany but for everyone else there are added costs up to €613+ including shiping,etc therefore the links ive provided are cheaper if you are not resident in Germany.
Amazed again The Carphone Warehouse in Ireland are only charging €569 on Three Ireland
http://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/Pro...ndgt-Galaxy-S-III-16GB-Pebble-Blue/238553/1_3
UK Carphone Warehouse charging £499.95 which is about €627 im astounded as usually it's always dearer in rip off Ireland.
Right to hell with this im gonna get one at €569 then ill have to sell my SGSII pretty quickly or ill be completely broke until the end of June.

haha unfortunately it's true mate full of corrupt bankers and Government who have decimated the country besides being a rip off!!!
ANYWAY enough of all that - went into 2 different carphone warehouse shops today in Dublin City, asked about the GALAXY S3, first girl said she "thinks" it might be available this coming Friday but wasn't sure about the price or what network it was on, i informed her according to their website it was €569 and on 3 Ireland she said well there you go you couldn't make it up, how fuc*ing unhelpful or just plain thick!!
Second shop not that much better, confirmed it would be available from midnight tomorrow night if anyone is sad enough to actually wait outside a carphone warehouse at that time just to get a phone but didn't know what price or network it was on, one must ask themselves how did these people get a job in the first place in the carphone warehouse surely everyone cant be as thick as them, all i wanted to know was how much stock they were getting, was it locked to 3 Ireland or not and to confirm the price was correct but they couldn't answer any of these.
Anyway sorry for long rant people like this annoy the hell out of me, fingers crossed they will have stock on Saturday as i wont get a chance before then to get back to the shop, still the best price ive seen anywhere at all!

Not entirely sure if it'll come with a carrier. But the wifi version will probably be available just like the Tablet Z was. Both in Sony Stores and in resellers like Amazon, Best Buy, etc...
Best guess is it'll run $499 for a wifi 16Gb just like the Tablet Z did, and $599 for a 32Gb model. Mobile connectivity versions a bit higher, depending on if you buy them straight up or on a contract.
Last I heard indicated either late April or early May for release in the US. Probably May is more likely I bet.
The cellular model looks like Sony made one model with every band in it.
So you could import and will work on Att and T-mobile.
It even has 1700/2100 band for t-mobile HSPA

Wow! I'm not here to bash, or promote, any particular retailer. I'm just a guy who wants to buy one of these and am frustrated that Sony isn't selling them here the U.S. (Similar story with the Z1C phone which I ended up buying from the U.K.)
But ... Did you really pay $1500 at Tropical Mobile (price I see on eBay) for a device which retails around the world for $5-600?
If so, my hat's off to you for being bold and decisive. I'm still waiting, hoping for a good option from the U.K. or from Sony USA. The price from the U.K., when available, is forecast at about $590 with support from Sony UK and a two year warranty. There are apparently reputable U.S. eBay sellers offering no-support Europe versions for $510. The latter are promised to already be through customs and ready to ship; what I read at Tropical Mobile is ambiguous about where they actually are and if there might still be customs issues.

I got the WIFI+LTE version from Tropical on Ebay.
I purchased about 10 days ago and the price for the wifi+lte version was $690
I see he just recently raised the price to over $1,000
Mine came from Singapore. Left Singapore and was at JFK and cleared customs the next day. No problems at all
Mine left Singapore too. I paid $560. It wasn't $1000 or so like u said at that time. So no need to rage just simple ask...

Thanks for both answers. That all seems much more reasonable. The big question I struggle with on any of these imports is warranty. Sony typically warrants their products for two years (sometimes with an offer of a 3rd year for an extra penny). I may never need it, but I hate to give it up. Did you get any kind of warranty?

When I was buying from tropical mobile on eBay, the description said 1 year manufacturer warranty. So I guess it doesn't matter where you bought it, Sony has the tab serial,identity, they would automatically cover you with 1 year warranty. Idk. That's my guess...

I wouldn't assume that means anything. They may or may not be an authorized reseller, but if you take the device to Sony's repair facilities in another country, they may not cover it.
Sony USA for example has their own repair network. Their repair centers may not even have access to software or hardware for devices that aren't officially sold in the US market.
I'm not saying that the warranty is void, but unless you confirm it's valid with Sony and will be covered in your home country, I would not assume. I've got a lot of friends in the Philippines and they deal with that stuff all the time with items they have friends ship to them from the states. To the point where sometimes they ship items back to us for us to send in for repair, since the item is only covered under warranty in the US since that's where it was purchased. Similar circumstances may prove out for these.
That said, the prices are surprising. The SGP311 sold for $499 here in the states and I'd assumed the new Z2 Tablet 16GB wifi counterpart would sell for similar. I can buy that SGP511 model for $520-550 on Ebay. Even the LTE model is readily available in 16GB for $629. The cheapest I saw the TMobile complaint LTE Tablet Z was for about $650 in the states, without a subsidy.
I'm half tempted to buy a white 16GB LTE SGP521 just because I'm almost afraid prices will go up when the US model is available.
I may be overly pessimistic and completely wrong, but I both assume and expect that if I self-import an offshore Sony product that Sony USA week disavow any responsibility for it. Best case is that I would have to send it back to the country of export.

I was millimeters away from ordering the same model from the same seller - and may still. They were responsive to my inquiries and seemed like they would be reliable. They honestly answered my warranty question, which (to my shame) scared me away, or at least caused me pause. I'm not sure from your post... have you received it? Since they offered two-day delivery, I guessed they had the product in the U.S.A. already, which made me more comfortable about it not having to get through customs. How long did it take to arrive? It's supposed to have a U.S. plug; is it a satisfactory charger? Anyway, congratulations.
I've seen Mexico is one of the best international markets for Moto Z: large choice of models and accessories, 64 GB models, interesting "bundles" and great prices... :fingers-crossed:
So I'm interested in buying it from Mexico (to Italy...), since European 32 GB versions aren't good for my needs...
Problem is that none of the Mexican online shop ship outside Mexico, since of Motorola directives...
If it was US I would have used systems like Viabox, US TO GO, etc. to have it reshipped from a "fake address" to Italy, BUT I was unable to find anything similar from Mexico...
Somebody does have hints for me to find a good solution?
I had the exact same question, and someone pointed me to Parcl. It's pretty much P2P parcel forwarding. There are only 3 forwarders in Mexico right now who will forward to Italy, and none of them has any delivered shipments yet (Parcl is still in beta, so it's pretty new). You have to decide whether you trust Parcl and their registered forwarders. If you do and this works, you can almost purchase anything from anywhere in the world!

Well... I gave a look at Parcl. It's surely interesting but...
- As you already seen only three forwarders reship from Mexico...

- none of them have already a single feedback...
Would we try him? You first?

I won't, as I was only looking to import because Moto Z & Z Play weren't released in Australia last week. They were just released this week, and I most likely will purchase locally. Price isn't a big issue for me, local warranty is more important.
I won't be too bothered by the fact that the user hasn't logged in to Parcl for a month. After all, it's in beta and those people are ordinary person doing this as a side job. If I were doing the same thing, I won't login as well unless I was notified by the system that there is a potential job waiting.
It's still a risk, just like when airbnb and Uber when they started, and to some lesser extend, even now.

It's not a price matters for me too.... it's more about available versions.
In Europe they are selling only 32 GB versions, only single SIM and with only black version of MODs... at TOP prices of course!
About warranty... well, no more than 5 minutes after I would have in my hands it will be with unlocked bootloader.... so... bye bye warranty!

In Australia we have 64GB, dual SIM and both black and white versions of MODs. It's not at bargain price, but it's much easier for you to buy from Australia.

I've seen prices between 12,000 and 13.600 MXN$ on Amazon.mx in the past days... 16.000 is from Motorola.mx...
Anyway, if I decide this way, I'll be very happy to pay A BOX of beers to you if you made me this service... :highfive:
I'll decide what to do after my trip in Malaysia at the end of October. I've seen there is no Motorola.my, BUT I think they should sell it in Malaysia too... and it could be the Indian/Thai/Singapore version...
Then eventually I feel free to contact you or the Australian pal, OK? :fingers-crossed:

It's no more listed on Liverpool, but even on Amazon.mx prices have changed in these days... from 11,999 to 15,999...
As I have already said, when I'll come back from my trip in Malaysia at mid November I would decide where to buy it.
If I would go for Mexico, your offer by ebay/PayPal will be my first choice... tranquilo amigo! :good::laugh:

yes, it was only for two days, they have something named "venta nocturna" where you can buy using any payment and you have very good discounts. Also, here in mexico we have our "black friday" (buen fin) where for 4 days we have several promos and pretty good deals, from november 13 to 16, you can wait and see if any of the promos are suitable for you and of course, if you want I can sell you via ebay and paypal payment, I have no problem at all. here are the list of all the stores that will have discounts on "el buen fin" http://promociondescuentos.com/el-buen-fin-tiendas-participantes/
PS. I bought mine on Amazon on pre-sale and was $13.000, never saw it at $11,000, and also I had a $500 discount because the day of release.

I have a lot of phones in my history... htc 10, mate 8, note 5, recent and iphone 6 plus. Moto z for me is very sexy phone, motomods is a plus, and i like vanilla android, great battery adding external moto mod battery...
My average points
Htc 10 = 10 (very quality phone, the best sound on phone and the jack por headphones, sense wow)
Mate 8 = 7 (great phone, quality phone, very bad software)
Note 5 = 7 (great balance phone, a lot of garbage apps, need more vanilla android)
Iphone 6 plus = 9 (quality phone no doubt, balanced in every aspect... Ur phone and Apple owns you, think for u)
Moto z = 9.5 (no perfect physical disign and battery size...)
