Availability in Germany?

Hey guys, I'm interested in buying an SE X1 / Xperia as soon as possible in Germany. Anyone already bought one here?
It would be great if someone could tell me if there's a shop in or near by Hannover that already sells Xperias. Has Media Markt / Saturn finally started selling them?

unfortunately no shop in germany sells the X1 in Germany yet
the rumor is that due to Software Problems the delivery of the X1 is delayed which is bull since it works fine in the uk and everywhere else
I have pre-ordert it by thephonehouse but nobody can tell me when it will arrive

X1 arrived at o2
As internal people said, the x1 just arrived on Friday at the central point of o2. Now it must be carried to the shops. Because they do not carry on saturdays, the will do this on monday. Therefore the x1 will be available in the shops tuesday/wednesday.

Well, then I will check out some stores in Hannover monday morning and ask them when they will get the Xperia. I'll let you know if noone else does until then ;-)

Thats a very possitive review....
Tough i noticed that the pannels still look kinda sluggish

On ebay you can find it and also this is very interesting site:
http://www.7mobile.de/shop/productList?group=handy_ericsson
this shop is in hamburg if they don't sell online only, tomorrow i'll go to buy it .
I hate buying online .

Tried to buy the Xperia in Hannover today, but no shop got it (Saturn, Madia Markt, Vodafone, E-Plus, O2, T-Punkt, mobilcom, ...). They all say that they have no Date from SE and that they expect it mid november..
Currently it seems these shops have it:
http://www.7mobile.de (Hamburg)
http://www.cyberport.de (Berlin & Dresden)
Anyone knows other shops that already sell it, preferably in or near Hannover?

I went today at 7mobile shop
they got stock today on their central stores but not yet on their shop in hamburg. This means that if you want to buy online they can send immediately.
I ordered mine today. I will let you know...

Handit in Berlin has it on stock too.
O2 has it in the central stock at Karlstein but yesterday arrived a problem, that they are not allowed to sell (some licence problem?) as I heard of an insider. That shall be only a problem of o2 -I can wait.
The main problem for me is that as a business user I get a 2days change of the PPC at my office in cause of a defect, if I buy at o2. Thats very important for me, therefore I will wait for o2 to sell it.

Cyberport doesn't have it on stock anymore according to their website..
@informatico: Did they say when they expect it in their shop in Hamburg?

Hello ("Grüß Gott" aus dem Süden)!
I've ordered mine (silver) last Friday on logitel.de, yesterday it was sent out, and tomorrow it should arrive

Handit has them in stock.
I went to my 02 shop today, as I did the last days
Today they told me, that they can not order the x1, because o2 told them they had only few and only the big stores get a few.
Being back in office I called the hotline. After a lot of investigating there around 11:00 am I was told that for total Germany there are only 48 (fortyeight!!!!) X1 left to sell. I ordered one and I was told to get one of this 48 ... Hope this is the truth, they said I will get it in 3-4 days.
Shame to o2 to order just a little amount not to be able to deliver to their own shops!

So, Saturn in Köln (Cologne) has it. There is one left for 699€ without contract in black. I played now about one and a half hours with it and wrote a little "review" of my opinion on telefon-treff.de (in german). So if you want to have it, you should hurry right now they closed, so tomorrow morning it'll be for absolutely sure still there. You can get it^^ grüße, cad

Duh.. Saturn in Hannover doesn't even know when they will get it.. "possibly mid-november".. This isn't the smallest city you could image.. why can't I buy that damn phone here? :-(

Hi phenx, try handit.de, they have it in stock and in the past I have made good experience with them.

I just ordered mine @7mobile (588€ vs. 649€ @handit). I called them and they confirmed it is available and they will send it out today, but their store won't get any Xperias before the next shipment arrives.. some time in November. And Hamburg isn't that far away and I can get there for free as I'm a student So should be no problem if my X1 will become defect..

I've ordered mine on Friday on logitel.de and got it today. A silver beauty.... ;-) Good luck to all!

YEAH! I just ordered mine in black from Amazon.de today for 615 Euros.
I'll get it tomorrow hopefully.

iv got my silver device yesterday @ es-mobilfunk.de for 655 eurobucks
nice device, but it HAS NO STEREO SPEAKERS inside.
why the ****ing youtube sucker talk about this f*cking feature?
why htc will not insert a second speaker. shiiiit
and g-sensor isn`t compatible to htc stuff. (not yet)(if there is anyone.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440822)
the alu finish looks very pretty, but the construction of the battery
cover is horrible. and the micro sd will not relase by its own.
i have to slide it out with a needle style tool, after extraction the battery.
but 16 gb sandisk will work well.(round about 55 eurobucks in germany. PM ME)
faster card isn`t required, about lame phone`s hardware/+drivers. 16gb cards at stock at: elefoxx.de)
the transfer to card with card reader is 13-18 mbytes sec.
with usb-diskmode to the phone its only 800-max 2000 kbytes sec.
so we have to wait for hard spl, and own cooked rom mixtures from htc diamond, xperia, htc hd roms ++++ xperia styled taskmanager, named dynamo, as a xperia panel !!!! yeah.
and an update function for xperia panels, with last screenshot, if an application switched to any other.
(take a look to the xpanel`s thumbnails, that are not really taken screenshots. look to the fishes... or clocks!
thats only fuuuck1ng universal button pictures)
and the x1 has got memory enough, why does windows/xpanels software will NOT load all panels and possible opened programs to ram?
this could increase the touch and feel, extreme. this could reduce lagging.

Warranty in Suisse or Austria

Hi,
which Parter does the repar of the HTC Mobile sin Austria or Suisse. In Germany we have Arvato. But i cant get warranty there. So i want send it to austria or Suisse from some friends of me.

Hi BaNaNaBeck, in the EU the 2 year warranty always applies, so Austria is one of them.
So if you call HTC they will create a ticket and it might get picked up for free (like in the Benelux).

Switzerland is arvato teleservice too...
dunno about austria tbh...

Thx for answers...
here the adresses...
Der von HTC beauftragte Reparaturdienst fuer Oesterreich lautet wie folgt: Mobiletouch GmbH U6 Center Lemböckgasse 49/Zugang E/Stiege 2 1230 Wien

Release date Netherlands

Hiya guys,
I'm watching this forum since I heard of the SGS II a month ago, but I haven't seen any release date for the Netherlands.
Any one already knows this? Or do we just have to wait?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I ordered a SGS2 (at studentmobiel.nl) and it will be delivered in week 19.
There are more shops with this delivery date of week 19, so 9-13 may.
It will cost €499,- and €6,- of deliverycosts.
This will be the 16GB version. but with or without NFC, I don't know.
Greez, Theo.

Hmm, a bit cheaper, but the deliverytime will practically be the same.
I think this is the general starting delivery date for NL.
studentmobiel.nl was the first with advertising, so I directly ordered and payed, so that I will be one of the first having the SGS2. (also Arnhem)

What are the reasons to get an unlocked phone, instead of one with a contract?
Only two things I can think of is not being bound to a contract, and ur abel to switch phones fast and easy(although this won't be fast with this phone, cause it rocks)
Cheers

I also preordered there but I got it with a 2yr contract.
Btw did you already subscribed for the 8GB card? I'm not sure whether or not I can do it now already as you need an invoice and I don't have a real invoice yet. Only some confirmation emails.

Or in case people have a contract already and need a new phone.
In all cases, you pay much more compared to buying a phone /w contract. Usually I stick with a phone and a 2yrs contract. This way it only costs me around 300-350 euro a year instead of 600+ when you use 1yr contracts. I think walking around with the same phone for 2yrs is pretty much doable

All the resalers so far. I will get my device in 2-3 days with belsimpel, they are the first and only 2 euro more expensive than algebeld. I pay 491, but only 5 for shipping, a total of 496. With algebeld you pay 7,50 for shipping so actually if you really Dutch you will save that euro hahaha (just to confirm all the stereotype about the Dutch being cheap )

How about we keep it in English guys.

[INFO] ASUS Benelux support....brilliant!

Many topics were made about bad support by ASUS (in the US at least). Well, the past two days I got my first encounter(s) with ASUS support:
I live in The Netherlands and the Transformer kept being delayed so I ordered the 32gb version via eBay. It was from a seller who lifes in Taiwan (funnybom), I payed the same amount as I would pay here in store when it is available incl shipping and received great service from them.
The tablet arrived last Friday and I noticed it had some common issues:
- Screen was not flush, one of the corners was pushed in by about 1 mm and the backplate and that corner is popping out by the same amount. This leaves a gap around the screen.
- Dead pixel
- Speaker imbalanced
So I contacted the seller and ASUS Benelux at the same time. The seller is willing to do something if I send photos and ship it back. I told that I first would try at ASUS and then come back.
I called ASUS Benelux (free number and I did not had to wait a second... ) and got a man on the phone, a genuine Dutch guy so not a callcenter in the middle of the jungle He asked the S/N and immediately found it in the system then he noted my problems and told me he need to ask about it because it was a unknown product. After 2 - 3 minutes he came back and gave me his personal ASUS e-mail address. I had to send some pictures of the problem and mention the problems again in the e-mail. I did that. Few hours later I get a reply that because the product is expected in June, so not yet available in The Netherlands, he has to do some more research to look what ASUS Benelux can do for me at this point. He promised me to e-mail more information the next day as it was already getting late.
This morning I got another e-mail, stating that he is going to arrange a pick-up for my tablet so they can start repairing/replacing. If I didn't want this he recommended me to exchange it at the store I bought it from. So it was my call if I want it to be picked up by ASUS or not, easy choice
I'm now waiting for the confirmation that it will be picked-up. I'll keep you updated how it goes. But for now, my first experience is very positive if not perfect. Normally you have to send it back and if very lucky you do not have to pay the shipping costs. Now they even arrange a pick-up

reserved for follow-up

This is good to know since I am currently living in the US, bought a transformer. But I'm moving to Holland soon so knowing they'll RMA it is nice

Das een mooi bericht over die Benelux service, waar ik eigenlijk benieuwd naar ben is of je ook nog douane kosten heb moeten betalen... Ik had een paarweken geleden een pakje uit China en daar kwam nog ff 70 euro aan douane kosten bij!

The electronic market Media Markt will offer it (16gb version) for 395€, but one month after release and it is the price of the online store.
In a german forum someone contaced Media MArkt in Wuppertal (a city) and got this answer:
Guten Tag,
vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage und das mit ihr bekundete Interesse am MediaMarkt Wuppertal.
Der von Ihnen gewünschte Artikel ist bereits bestellt. Ein Liefertermin ist uns zur Zeit nicht bekannt. Die Preise werden an den Google-Store angeglichen.
Weitere Fragen beantworten wir Ihnen gern auch persönlich am Telefon und vor Ort in Ihrem MediaMarkt Wuppertal.

It says that the article is ordered and the prices will be adjusted to the one of the Google Stores.
I don't know more, but I thik you can get it there for the lowest price (and in Saturn, same mother company).

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I ordered it at Mediamarkt Aachen, they expect to get it the 15th

How much will it cost there (8/16 gb)?

Does someone know if Media Markt Germany or Saturn Germany offer international shipping?
Specifically to Sweden, sure we have Media Markt too, but I doubt we will get your prices. My alternative right now is to buy from the Play Store Germany trough mygermany-logistics or addressgermany, which both will total at 350 euros which is really cheap compared to every possible Swedish price you could expect. If possible I would like to get rid of the middle hand though and buy directly from the retailer.
