X2a now available on SonyStyle for preorder. - XPERIA X2 General

I don't know how many of you are interested, but its worth noting the X2a is finally available for pre-order on Sonystyle.com
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666073702#features
Personally, I'm waiting for the X10a... and may wait to see what the 2.1 update brings, or might skip ahead and pick up a Rogers version. By that time however, we might have previews of the X3 or X11 so who knows...

Galaxy tab Where to buy?

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:

They confirm they will have for sale on 13 October, price is confirmed too!!

early november
http://www.popularelect.com/Samsung-P1000-Galaxy-Tab-Unlocked-Quad-Band-Phone-p/p1000.htm
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'.

I found one more galaxy tab seller.

or their store on ebay

looks like first delivery will be in october. But their ebay account say that they already sold 3 pcs.

in clove site just post this after their address
viewnews.aspx?content=C02C0AE6-AAAC-40FC-9D63-32FBE69CFE2B&category=CATEGORY2
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.

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.

This might be a weird question to you, but do you have both qwerty and azerty keyboards in Canada ?
If only qwerty, how do you make accents and special french caracters like ùàçèé ?
All these questions because i would be interested in buying one from the US, but I wouldn't a qwerty keyboard.
At first I had planned on getting the slate only in the US and the dock back in France, but it sounds like the dock is going to cost 150€ if we do not take the bundle ...
ive bought a lot of stuff from pccyber, they are a local here in ottawa with 4 stores and 2 in montreal. i've never order anything from their website though. i wouldnt put too much on their release date on their website, i've bought my last two asus eee pc from them and they are horrible for stock and never know when they are suppost to get new shipments of stock. i had to check all 4 locations to find the one i wanted even though their website said it was suppost to be in stock so i don;t have much confidence in their site. i only bought the eee pc from them because they are the only local store that carried them and had a decent price. Also seems fishy that they are the only retailer in canada taking preorders...
anyone know if futureshop will be carrying this? i assume so since best buy is suppost to be carrying it and they own futureshop.
edit: i just noticed they changed the release date again to april 25, thats 3 times now.

French Canadians (i'm one of them) uses Qwerty keyboards. The same layout, with minor differences. And you can often buy "bilingual" keyboards: french and English characters are printed on the keys.
Hope this helps!
Actually, i haven't checked if the transformer keyboard can be ordered in Canadian Bilingual (refered as fr_ca)
I called both the local PCCyber stores here in Montreal. One guy had no idea when is this coming ("It might come tomorrow and I would not know today") and the other one said it'll come end of next month! When I said but your website says coming April 25, he boldly said "it's wrong".
*Sigh*
I'm travelling internationally on the 29th and this would have been the perfect travel companion but I have little to no hope of getting my hands on Asus Transformer
Edit: Although I should mention, 2-3 days ago when I talked one of the Ottawa store reps, he was confident he'll get it on 18th. He even said he knows I'm in Montreal but instead of reserving one for shipping online, if I can come to Ottawa and put my money down, he can give me one on the 18th in store. Good luck fellow Ottawa residents!
Amazon.ca orders are suppose to ship 5/9.
Amazon.ca is not listing the EEE Pad Transformer at the moment, though I understand it did at one point (and was quickly taken down). So I doubt any release date from their page is reliable.
I'm holding on for the Asus, as the Xoom is (now) overpriced and I don't want to wait anxiously for a software update to unlock the SD Card slot. And I love the keyboard dock too, hopefully it will come out soon after (it's a big part of their marketing after all).
LOL,
Available in Canada before it's available in the US.
Interesting marketing our friends at ASUS are employing....

If this ends up happening, I think it is because they do not have enough supply for the US and don't want bad press for not being able to keep up with demand.

While I would love for this to be true, I wouldn't place to much hope on PcCybers preorder page and wait for official news from Asus. It seems to me like they are just fishing for early preorders even though they have no idea when its coming out.
It certainly does seem like even Asus is not sure of when they can launch. It's getting frustrating..

5/9 is the ship date for those that got an order in with amazon.ca
I'm sure Bestbuy will have them in store first like the ep121.
Not interested in the keyboard for $150,
but at $75 maybe, just really dont see much of a need for it.
It's gone from PCCyber's site.

There's a pre-order with no pricing and no release date on expansys.ca. Sounds more like a "we'll notify you once we know something".

That is sort of reassuring. As much as I'd like to pre-order it online, I'd rather do it in-store (same as what I did for the Xoom) so I can be there as soon as they open

Play.com (UK) - Price and Order date now showing

Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!

At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

If I recall correctly Play don't charge your card until the item is ready to post. I've found they are rubbish when emailing, so I just call them and they are fine on the phone.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
The model on Play has the 10.1v specs, not the 10.1 specs -- be careful.
Right, I received the correct reply from Play.com, ref my enquiry as to why the price is so high on their web site. They're investigating.

Safest thing to do is buy it from Currys or PCW. Then return it if u aint happy. Think i would wait, of course it would be nice to have it have it first but...
Where is the 32GB version?

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...

Amazon has the AM7 on the US site

http://www.amazon.com/Unlocked-Huaw...13665325&sr=8-1&keywords=huawei+ascend+mate+7
$869
It's been up there for awhile now. It's unlikely that it reflects what the actual cost is going to be when Huawei releases it officially.
Yeah, that's been there. I hope once Amazon themselves starts selling them that the price will return to normal.
Hey guys, I'm really excited about this device and can you suggest that is this the international version which can be used on T-Mobile?

Amazon uk

Anyone knows if the 6p will be available on uk Amazon? I £100 voucher and I could use it to beat the price of the phone by bit.
How was it last year with nexus 6? Was it long after release date to see it on Amazon?
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Good question. I reckon they will eventually but not anytime soon. I dont think any large retailers are getting this in the UK for maybe a month or so after release.
