Cheapest Place to buy the Sony Ericsson X1 - XPERIA X1 General

Currently they seem to be very cheap in Sweden.
I got a offer for 540 EUR and 480 EUR , both from Sweden.

www.blocket.se search there, seen alot X1s for a nice price

It does not look like a GSM website at all.
I got this offer from a Direct Dealer in Sweden.

Do all the Xperia's sold in Sweden have swedish roms, or is there WWE versions available as well? Where did you ferraripassion get those offers, could you pm the vendors to me? Thanks.

Sure , do you know SMA?

ebay,of course

X1 on Ebay is currently very expensive.
400-500 GBP.
Whereas in Sweden its only 480 EUR.
Also it's risky to buy used phones on Ebay as you don;t know the history behind it. So many people have had issues with Blocked/Barred phones.
It will not matter if you are in another country.

3 Atom's for sale! Unlocked

Hey Guys ( And girls ),
I have 3 new Atom's for sale, All in original pack. including everything, unlocked, All of them come with a warranty, and i bought them in HK.
Best price you will ever find :
560 US$ per Unit.
I live in Israel- shipping will be from Israel.
Contact me if you are ineterested.
I can accept all major credit cards through my store, and PayPal.
and how I can find you after I make the paymant? :?:
I Have a ...
Store..and ill give you all the details you ask for.
If general market is selling Brand New Atom at least USD650, why would you like to sell at big under-cut of USD560??
Would that be your warehouse cost is such expensive that you have to sell those devices out immediately??
Or other reasons??
Very simple...
The phone is starting to be provided both by Orange Israel and Cellcom Israel, at a lower price ( about 500$ ), under a contract of 3 years.
So as simple as that, if i do not sell them now, i may be not not be able to sell them at all.
Thanks
not very convincing:
you are targeting to sell Atom to oversea, therefore an upcoming price-cutting locally in Israel won't force you to cut price deep.
It seems..
Like you're s salesman, Why dont you provide me with a suggestion then ? Huh ?
I am just a man who hate people selling "2nd hand" under the cover of "New".
Full Stop
Try ebay.
Anyway, atom at US$560 isn't cheap on eBay
(I think, compare to Charmer). They are selling much cheaper.

Need Advice In Italy

A friend of mine was just in from Milan..
She loved my Hermes so much she wants one.
What is the best place to get it in Milan and what does it cost?
From what I saw online they are over 500 Euro..
Is it cheaper for me to get a Cingular 8525 here and unlock it for her..
Or are there better places to pick one up.
Thanks,

Hi.....I live in Italy (Florence) but I bought an Orange spv m3100 UK four months ago...saved a lot of money and imho it's much better than the official HTC TyTN
the official italian distributor of HTC is DANGGARD. She can bought it online from the ecomm site:
http://www.pocketdevice.it/
this is the preferred place as:
- the price is the same of nomatica and expansys (other 'italian' ecomm site selling the tytn), around 750euro (!!)
- the maintenance is serviced directly from them
i live in italy too (rome) and as "luchino san" I also preferred to buy my hermes in UK (through ebay) and i got a m3100 (better looking than HTC, IMHO). In italy official price is 750 euro but you can find it in some shops at around 650 euro, while through ebay i got it at about 500 euro (including express delivery costs). Only downside: warranty.
"Official way" (1) - "Unofficial way" (2)
No comment about the quality of dangaard service...don't make me laugh!
Sounds like it is cheaper for me to pick it up for her here in the US and unlock it.
Yikes.. 750 Euro...
Direct from Cingular with no Contract is 550 US...
Add in the Conversion rate.. Plus no VAT.. Although Tax is 8.75% or so..
Still a huge savings..
No front Camera on the Cingular one.. but I don't think she cares..
I think she will care instead!
Here in Italy we have 3 carriers with videotelephony

Cheapest/Best Place to buy an Xperia? X1i or X1a, doesnt matter

hey guys, I have been wanting an Xperia for a while and I finally have enough money to buy one but I was just wondering where was the best place (located in the United States) to buy one? I am on T-Mobile USA so 3G doesn't matter, an X1i will be perfectly fine. I am trying to avoid the 700-800 dollar premium price as I have seen many for 600-650 new.
The best place atm in my opinion is...
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1234846501&sr=8-1
Just a question though, do ALL xperia's come with a 4GB MicroSD? Amazon doesnt specify what the package contents are. I can only be sure of the phone,manual,ac adapter,etc...
ebay would be your best bet. i saw "experia x1" goes around $640ish with free shipping... they are all x1i
place to buy x1
I bought mine on craigs list for 500. People are selling them cause they need the cash.. The guy had it listed at 600. He took 500 without any question.
I love hard eco times
ah I have been looking on craigslist for weeks! No one has an xperia for sale in my area (Sacramento, California)....
if the international versions do not have US warranties, how will the warranty work? I'm sure there has to be some kind of warranty in place.
oops ...mods please delete
yoou should be able to find it cheaper from
uk ebay
handtec
clove
shipping may be more expensive than you think
I got mine for 630 on ebay like a week ago.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=140299796562
edit: just noticed that seller raised it to 650. on the 9th it was 630 though. haha.
my x1
i just got one off thease on ebay for £350 uk pound and went and picked the phone up i love this phone
got mine for 370€ (solid black, no branding, new) on ebay.de

USD240 is absolutely fake.
here brand new HD in China is around 527USD. just for reference.
JohnQ is right, I bought mine for around $550 US in Shenzhen about a week ago, $240 is probably either used or a "shanzhai" phone (aka rip off look-a-like).
A note however, do look closely at what you are buying as there aren't any "official" HTC retailers here in China-- where HTC operates under it's Chinese subsidary, "Dopod". Most of the HTC phones in China are brought across the border either from Hong Kong or Taiwan.
I had the store clerk bring me five Touch HDs to try and I picked the best one and haggled with them until they threw in an extra battery.
If you'd rather be sure to get the real thing, I recommend you get it from Hong Kong; it's pretty cheap there too. In China, Dopod also has an identical device also called the Touch HD, however, the difference-- like between all Dopod phones and HTC phones-- is that the Dopod versions don't include Wifi and 3G. Gov't restrictions maybe? :S

HAHA , DOPOD announced HD early this year. you know how much they are selling in the beginning? RMB8288, As exactly the same with its model number T8288, DOPOD is crazy. DOPOD HD doesn't include WIFI/3G
Can get it with 3G and Wifi in China
It is possible to get the Touch HD in here in China with 3G and Wifi....If you buy a Dopod branded phone, it won't have either, but if you go to a mobile store and ask for "shui huo" you can get them. The "shui huo" versions of the phones are usually brought in from Europe then brought across the border (tax free). Don't let the sales staff trick you into paying more for them. These phones are cheaper than the Dopod branded ones and they are exactly the same phone (with more features enabled). As mentioned above, you also have to be aware of fakes, but if you take your time and check out multiple vendors, you should be ok....Always ask to try the phone before you buy it (ALWAYS).
Additionally, it will be extremely difficult to find one with a WWE rom. I usually come on here and flash a WWE rom as soon as I get my phone...Never had a problem...
China has some great deals and some great rip-offs...Just exercise some caution and you should be fine. Test the phone and make sure the Wifi and 3G options work and you should be fine.
newer high-end mobile phones are ALWAYS cheaper in the US/EU than in china. IN fact, everything that is "name brand" or high-end is more expensive in China. THe idea that China is cheaper than the west is just totally wrong these days, when I go back to the USA I stock up on clothes, electronics, etc. as the quality is certain, there are no spy programs or disabled features, and the price is much lower. If you want to buy cheap garbage, it will be cheaper in China, but for anything nice it is MUCH more expensive.

That's not necessarily true...
HTC is a Taiwanese company and they export their products to places all over the world. One of them is Hong Kong, and as we all know, there are no taxes, customs, tariffs, or whatever on imported products there. Thus, electronics are generally cheaper in Hong Kong than they are elsewhere. Also, due to the proximity of Hong Kong and Taiwan, shipping is also cheaper than to the Americas for example, thus further reducing the end-user cost (however this may just be a little bit). Therefore, many of the "shui huo" HTC products brought into China from places like Hong Kong actually end up being cheaper (even more if you haggle and perhaps they'll throw in some goodies too!) than they are elsewhere.
Hope that sheds some light upon this issue.
So now now... don't go around making imperatives like "everything" all the time... hehe
This thread is really helpin me out.
Anyone can point me where to get the best price in Hongkong. I'm particularly looking for HTC Touch Pro CDMA.
Thanks before

You could try Mong Kok/Wang Jiao Computer Centre; you can get some great deals if you haggle...
Check it out. It's near the Ladie's/Women's Market.

Cheapest HD2 in Germany?

Considering to buy a HD2 in the next time.. Can somebody tell me where to get it cheap in Germany? The cheapest i found is just 570 incl. shipping.. But i have read of 515 or sth....
http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a470265.html
the cheapest I found so far is 535,90€ on http://www.handy-navi.de/Handy-und-Smartphone/HTC/HTC-Touch-HD-2-anthrazit-T-Mobile::804.html
but I never ordered from handy-navy.de. So I don't know if the seller is trustable.
Just ordered mine from danto.de.. They seem to be serious as they have good ratings and an exact publishing date. However it costs 570 €... But i want to be sure when it comes to an expensive phone...

But it has also T-Mobile branding!
You can order @ expansys.de.
From now just 7 days delivery time. The distributor already has it in stock.
It's not the cheapest, but you can pay in more ways than in other stores, including bank transfer(!).
Update: The date just switched from +7 days to 17.11.2009

T-Mobile aren't branding this phone are they? I heard roumers they weren't
i could offer everyone who is interested the htc hd2 for a price of 600,-€ inclusive shipping costs. i work in a small company in regensburg/ratisbon, germany. we get the phones from one of the biggest german distributors and we have the possibility to ship devices - on advance payment - directly from distributor to costumer. so as soon as the device is available at the distributor, it will be sent to the costumer. distributor telled me at the phone, that the device is expected end of november, no exact date, though.
if anyone is interested in this possibility, or for further questions, you can contact me directly via pm.
---
this schould not be seen as a commercial offer since i am just a student working "400€-job"-wise in this company, this is an offer for you, if you like to buy from a smaller company with support and service, but get the device quick an not that expensive.
2 devices would make you pay 1180,-€ (590,- each) if you are interested.
If you're looking for the cheapest in Germany, I maintain a vendor list http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Leo/Vendors Its got pretty much all online licensed vendors listed and all comparative prices.
So far the Cheapest vendor shipping to Germany is based in Switzerland (Digitec.ch) and sells the phone for €504. They have the HD2 in English,German & Dutch keyboard layouts too
Keep an eye on the the vendor list though you might find it cheaper. Hope that helps
ps. the absolute cheapest is sold by BTC in Nederland for €469, not sure if they ship to Germany though.

But remember, you have to add customs fees on goods out of Switzerland.
Usually these are 19% VAT and fees for the customs procedure.
All in all, you're buying this one for about €620 and this is more expensive than buying in germany directly.
I'm fairly sure items from Switzerland to anywhere else in the EU are free from Customs. (even though Switzerland isn't completely part EU/EMU) I've had items sent to Ireland and Netherlands from Switzerland and not paid a cent in customs (maybe im lucky? ) But if not you definitely can get customs free HD2 from Netherlands. Algebeld ship to Germany (I think they might have a base there) and its only €524 from them. IF BTC-online ship it you could get it for €469
If you still want to buy from an exclusive German vendor though the cheapest there is TalkThisWay.de for €569 ....at least your not stuck in Norway they sell for almost €725 there.
