It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?

I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..
We'll see...

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.
nick
I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.
I have i9000 and would like to buy Samsung Galaxy tab as soon as possible.
I need to have at least one pcs in September.
I found few links:

there is no information about availability but I expect answer from them. 899$
there is none on ebay yet.
Sorry to burst you bubble, but the prices aren't yet confirmed, and I'm near certain that they will be released by mobile carriers first. Clove and expansys have had them listen for some days now, and indeed probably since the announcement, but they are guessing at the prices. As for delivery date... Well they might have a concrete date for delivery, but I don't think there has been anything from samsung that we know of, so they could be guessing at that too, since we know 'early october'.

Just because they put a standard sticker on the page saying ' price confirmed' in no way means that its true. Its just to get people to pre order from them over anyone else.
They is STILL no official announcement on price.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There is no rush to buy this, you are better off waiting, there will be excess supply for at least a few days after pricing is announced. You aren't catching any better deals by rushing either, just asking for price gouging.
ummm...
i am thinkin about going to koria
is that any good - graping the device-wise -
If I recall correctly, the device is coming to the EU first anyway, so going to korea might not actually speed anything up at all. Also, although I couldn't speak to the exchange rate, but since Korea is likely to be a hot market, the prices could be artificially high at release, so keep that in mind to.
Its also worth to keep in mind that the Korean version will be CDMA (ie like a verizon/sprint devce) and not a GSM one, which will mean that you won't be able to use the mobile data connection in Europe at all because it won't have the right radio.
I would like to buy one pcs no metter what praice is. Even if is 1000euro. But really need that device before the others.
I am sure that some pcs will be ready on market before others. Probably like late September. But on stock's world wide will be from 15 October.

have you seen their ratings?
Just thought i'd get this thread started. No sites found so far.
It's on websites, it just comes back as not existing. So far seen it on the following sites:
Comet: http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711 which says discontinued but isn't available through normal product selection I found it via google. The product code 717711 is however the code on their systems.
PC World: It's available to select but then says it's no longer available
Amazon: Released June 1st
Laskys: Showing as Temporarily out of stock
Will follow this and update if either Comet or PC World receive any next week as I get 10% off both through my work so only really checking them. I have a mate who's a sales manager at the local PC World store and is going to phone head office and find out what's happening so will let you know when I hear.
Ebuyer.com also have the bundle on their website, with the same ETA as amazon.co.uk: 1st of June
It shows up on amazon.fr with a "coming soon" message.
A lot of Swiss websites have it listed (digitec.ch claims a late June date ETA for the dock, while others have a late May date, around 27-31).
Just a suggestion: it would be nice to modify the first post in this thread to include links to all websites listing it along with the ETA currently announced on each of them.
Anybody knows a good place to get a seperate keyboard? I read on the Asus UK FB that the retailers only ordered bundles, but are there still some (e-)shops that have them? I checked Amazon, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, Ebuyer, Laskys and PC World but they all sell bundles or tablets...

I hate to contradict you but nobody is selling the bundle in Europe as of now. They have it listed on their site but it's either not available for order or you can just pre-order (with an estimated availability date of 1st of June). The dock itself I've only seen in Switzerland, at digitec.ch, for 129 Swiss francs (~100 EUR, ~90 GBP).

That's what I meant, I know they don't ship the bundles out yet.
Thanks for the tip, Digitech seems to have a reasonable price. Downside is availability expected late June. Hopefully in those two months I've obtained one already!
laskys.com have both the tablet only and the bundle in stock, for those of you living in UK. They don't do international shipping unfortunately
Hi,
Scan are also showing pre-orders on these, with no date known: -
www DOT scan DOT co.uk/search.aspx?q=TF101
first post so no links for me.
Feels like i've been here for ages tho, read the entire bricked transformer thread to try and put me off. Still searching tho.
Comet are now showing delivery in 10 days of the bundle?
Comet are selling the bundle again for delivery on the 16th of May.
Asus Finland confirmed on a email that transformer Scandinavian keyboard should be coming out May.
Verkkokauppa.com is saying that they will have 16GB transformer+scandi keyboard package in 3-5 weeks.
I have just ordered with Comet for delivery on the 16th of May and cancelled my Amazon preorder as they still cannot say when they will be able to supply my order. I asked them where I was in the preorder queue to get an idea of timescale and they said they couldn't even access that information - useless.
At least if I have an issue with the unit supplied from Comet I can take it back to my local store as opposed to having to send it away to Amazon and wait for weeks.
Good find on Comet, I'll go in the local store tomorrow and see if they've got an update on stock coming in to the store as my discounted vouchers can't be used online.
annoying that you cant cancell your order on comet, ive already bought the non keyboard version, and now the have the keyboard version avaliable.
Laskys - in stock from 10th delivery 16th May?
Spoke to Laskys.com (UK) - expecting tablet/dock bundle on the 10th May and posted (free at the mo) for 16th same as Comet IIRC - if you go through Topcashback you get £15 cash back !!
Went into Comet today and got my first hands on with the tablet only and has confirmed I definitely want one I managed to connect it to my SGSII WiFi and gave the guy the product code for the bundle so he checked on the system which said stock is coming into the distribution center on 10th so will be in store by 16th or 17th which is why delivery from the site is that date too.
Anyone who ordered dock from Asus got it yet or been informed when they will receive it
sent from my E Pad Transformer........without a leedroid rom :-(

Thanks testicle! i went ahead and ordered. through topcashback. Delivery date estimate is currently for the 15th of May
Think I will cancel my order tomorrow from Comet and but the keyboard version from them.
Not to be nitpicking but the UK is in the EU just so you know OP.
Is there any truth to the statement that this is only available via carphone warehouse? Wife wants one but its a $200 premium!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, it appears to be only available (sim-free) at the higher price of ~£430 from both Carphone Warehouse and the Sony Mobile GB site. I think I read somewhere, maybe here, that it's to encourage buyers to take it on contract.
It is available with Expansys as well.
unfortunately expansys is the only company that asks you to preorder and put your credit card details in without telling you how much they'll bill. Probably hoping you'll forget to check (yes you can cancel)

Since today some Dutch webshops (and propably stores) have all the colors in stock and make no difference in price by the color you want.
Links to shops ? Ive seen nevermsrp and expansys exporting the green color so far.
Here's the green one going for $549. I just got an email from them asking if I still want to keep my pre-order. I'm a little unsure now since I don't know how warranty will work...
http://www.expansys-usa.com/sony-xperia-z3-compact-unlocked-lte-16gb-green-265640/
nvm turns out the product code has the phone name for expansys, 5803.
i asked them for some shipping ETA but they have no idea so far.
that said its the cheapest green 5803 exported to the USA so far. (obviously 100 bucks more than clove if you don't get green)
Here in HK its available in all 4 colours at the major retailers like fortress. Same price for all $4398 HKD. With a ton of extras thrown in.
Pity we don't get the noise cancelling headphones included...read in some review that certain countries get it with the phone.

I spoke with one of the support guys at Expansys. Their shipment of green Z3C will arrive on Tuesday Does anyone know if it's worth waiting for the US Sony store to release this? What's the typical price difference between Expansys USA and the Sony store?
Apparently sony has a press conference scheduled for october 9th in nyc. Possible US availability announcement?

it makes sense - thats the time they need to ship it from europe today, to them, including the weekend.
i dont think sony will ship earlier than expansys if they do announce US availability. But it might be not very far apart.
In general sony doesnt release to the US directly only through carriers and even so its pretty rare and very late. so generally expansys usa has them way before sony/carriers (month(s)). but this time around it could be that sony has them a week or two later who knows.
All I know is.. i should get mine next week at this rate

Given that the price appears to have changed within an hour, it was probably a pricing error or something.
Yep... Now disappeared
did anybody get it at 291£? that would border on stealing
Managed to get the deal but now it's a waiting game to see if they will honour it. Prefer black and orange but can't complain if I can get it at that price.
I got it yesterday at € 404,43 on amazon.it, but today they cancelled the order saying the price was wrong. (19% off, from € 499)

Wonder what these will go for in USA - I see Welectronics has them as preorder for $699. Factory Unlocked.
Do you think we will see $500-$550

Clove/Handtec are at the 290 british pounds. With 2 day fedex shipping, Handtec is £301.89 which translates to $494 assuming your credit card doesn't charge foriegn transaction fees (~505 with paypal including fee). What makes the 291 price the norm in America is that we don't pay 20% vat (national sales tax) on the purchase.
Early Pricing of Z3 Compact
On the UK Site for SONY which I was directed to in order to purchase Z3 Compact direct from SONY the price
was 429 Pounds which is unfortunately about $701. lol
If it was $500 I would SERIOUSLY have shipped to USA via paypal , Site said free shipping, not sure if they would ship to USA.
Shipping date was September 26.
Switching to USA Sony via same Parent Site, no ordering or preordering options yet- a little strange maybe.
Assuming a little fine tuning in the Camera Software, a Manual with some semi Auto Modes where you can easily tweek exposures AND a little better QC on the Speakerphones so they are clear like the big Z3 and
this little Z3 Compact will be a great phone- probably worth $700 but ouch thats a lot for a Phone but hopefully I can get for $600.
Never MSRP on Ebay has preorder price at $ 629.
Well, I live in NY and ordered the Z3 Compact from Handtec for $504 through paypal so that is a doable thing (the thread clove special offer is about clove and handtec having the $504-515 preorder price with a free case/phone charger).
