Did you get it with the carrier & sign a contract? or Purchased it unlocked?
Personally i got mine for $650 directly 16GB version, i hate phone carriers contracts
I've read some people seems to have paid less even without carriers.
on ebay the average price for the 16GB version is around $750
Mine is going to cost me about £500 in total on an 18 month contract with 600 mins, texts and data.
$550 shipped to the US
There already was a topic about this thing,
I payed ~390 euro (500$) for mine.
380£ for the i9000 8GB version+8GB SD card.
It's so much fun not having to pay VAT. lol.
It depends which version.
The smaller 8GB ones are in the $500-550 range nowadays.
The larger 16GB version goes for about $120-$170 more.
I paid almost $800 delivered for my 16GB
I like the larger storage, since I used to have sporadic corruption with SD cards in WM, and from what I read Android is not exempt from these, either. I want peace of mind when I am on the road and don't have a backup.
£280 all in (inclusive of VAT) with a third party seller on a really crappy contract, but I already have a contract with T-Mobile which I'm now using in the SGS. Mine is an unlocked, unbranded 8gb stock phone, so free of carrier crap too.
Dialaphone - £20pm 18mth O2 contact, downgradeable at month 9 to £15pm, plus I got £35 cashback by going through TCB. The O2 contract is really crap - 100 minutes, unlimited texts and no data allowance, but £280 for a stock SGS is damn good. They stopped doing the O2 deal earlier this week, though.
€ 380 for the 8GB version, no contract. Not paying VAT is nice.
£410 at Carphone Warehouse, SIM free and unlocked.
£355 from o2 unlocked, to get it you have to already have been with o2 for about 6 months I think and then you can ask to purchase a phone from them (i.e. say im unhappy with current phone but dont want to affect contract) this wasn't the best deal by a long way (desire £285) but i wanted this phone.
Damn, Holland is expensive.
16GB with 200minutes/400texts/unlimited data for 2 years at 650€

Prices vary, but your best bet (if you don't want or have £675 + to spend on a new JasJar) is to look on Ebay. Some bids are starting at £300.00! But expect the reserve price to be above £500. Having said that, MDA Pro (T-mobile) are knocking them out on contract quite reasonably priced, which means that some JasJar owners might be letting theirs go soon for less than £600.00, but I wouldn't hold your breath!
Once you've got one of these babys, chances are there's no turning back. They seriously Rock! 8)
The Dutch MDA Pro can be bought for about 800 euros, it is a WWE device. Only minor detail: simlocked to T-Mobile Netherlands, but some rumours say that when you buy a contract-free device, you only have to fax them your invoice to get the unlock code for free. I have however not tested this myself, so no guarantees for that!
I got mine (assuming we are talking about the HTC Universal - I my case an imate JasJar) from expansys.com
I went for the £75 per month package which, due to the 50% line rental offer, is only £37.50 per month for a THOUSAND free minutes (on vodafone). This brought the price of the phone down to £117ish......
Hope that helps!
PS -
1 I'm in the UK
2 the 50% line rental offer is only for 6 months, but I rang them to check and you can change your tariff after 6 months
3 The worst thing (no problem for me) is that the contract length is EIGHTEEN months.....
4 Here is a link http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=126341[url]
and around about £200 brand new?
thanks
Probably very hard, Buzz claimed he found some on the web a few days ago for your price €200 I believe. He didn't mention where though. Try to PM him.
As the magician is retired now the shops won't be selling them I guess, at least in The Netherlands they almost all switched to the Wizard.
Success, M

That kind of price is going to be very difficult to find but there are other ways to get closer to that price. My brand new, telecom unbranded, unlocked Qtek S110 (yes 128mb RAM) will have cost me a total of £280 (I bought it in December). Here's how:
1) Signed up to an affiliate program that gives you cash back.
2) Bought the phone on an O2 12 month contract from internet company via the affiliate link.
3) The phone cost me £29.
4) I pay 6 lots of £30 rental per month.
5) At the six month point (or just before) I switch my contract to the cheapest £16 a month rental.
Cost:
Initial outlay = £29
6 x £30 = £ 180
6 x £16 = £96
= £305
minus £25 that I get back from the affiliate network
= £280!
AND, I get 6 months of 200 xnet minutes and 100 messages per month and then 6 months of 25 xnet minutes and 25 messages for free!
And the good thing was that the phone I bought was mobile unbranded and unlocked! But that does depend on the place you buy it from.
Thought it would be interesting to see who got the best deal when they bought their phone. Post The price of your phone, any bonuses you got with it, the location you bought it and the approximate date you purchased it
I personally got mine at Best Buy for $49.99 on a 3 year contract with a bonus $75 Best Buy gift card and (he said) a free 16gb micro-sd card. Pretty sure all phones come with the SD cards though since it was already in the phone upon unboxing.
Now you!
it was 9k pesos and that's around 750 dlls
Free on a 15 pound ultd contract 24 month =)
Benifits on being on a staff contract with o2. Shame its a 2 year contract though. Had phone since realses in Europe. had 3 replacements
Mine in malaysia rm 1550.00. Us around 4+

I traded a month-old iPhone 3GS for mine. The choice was either this or the Desire (non-hd). After 6 months of heavy use I'm glad I chose the X10. It's got an old version of Android with some small issues but the screen and design more than makes up for it imo.
The streetprice now here in Sweden is about 400€ which is slightly overpriced, I'd put it at 300-350.

Got it from my bro who switch to IOS4 . My first android phone and as each day passes by i liking it. Great phone...
$637.00 AUD From "3" HK Network
Bought a new N900 for $350, traded it for a x10 after three weeks.
$650
+tax
Free, 3 years contract, Rogers Canada
NO Contract Its white X10a branded to rogers works on the US att. Got it for $520 around June.
Happy with it.
Purchased on eBay from a guy in Canada.
$50, and a $50 mail in rebate, so basically free. Upgraded through Rogers, didn't need to get a new plan or anything.
I definitely didn't feel like spending another $500+ on an unlocked phone

Hi guys
Does anyone know of any good deals for the Optimus 7 in Britain? I'll consider both contract and handset only.
Thanks
Vodafone contract
Vodafone are offering the phone free for £30 a month (24Months) or £35 (18months). However if you are an existing customer and been on a higher tariff such as the £40 Blackberry you can negotiate the price down by £5 a month by going through the call centre.
So I've just upgraded and taken an 18 month contract at £30 a month with free phone. This gives me 600 minutes and 500MB.
This is significantly cheaper than other networks are offering a WP7 phone, Orange and O2 are £45 for 18 month contracts. I considered the HD7 and Samsung Omnia but opted to stay with Vodafone as the LG had good reviews and 16GB compared to the Omnia. HD7 looked good if not a little bulky but I wasnt going to pay an extra £270 over the lifetime of the contract.
Has anyone found a place to buy the Optimus 7 sim free in the UK? I've got one pre-ordered from Expansys but they still don't have any details on availability.
I'm tied into my contract with T-Mobile until November (damn 18 month contracts) from when I got my HD2 through mobilephonesdirect.co.uk so my only option is to go sim free. I'm not too keen on buying an unlocked handset from eBay (I've seen a few on there but don't know how much I trust them) - I'd like one stock without any of the Vodafone alterations.

I'm in Canada at the moment so thinking of seeing if I can pick one up whilst here that covers the EE bands sim free as it'll be much cheaper. Will have to see how availability is!
SIM-free:
£549.95 from Carphone Warehouse, doesn't say which model it is http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/htc/one-m8?intcmp=HPMini3_HTCOneM8ctaesales_250314
£529.95 from Phones4U, 16GB model http://www.phones4u.co.uk/htc/one/m8/silver?intcid=hero1_htc_one_m8_250314
I prefer Sim-free however its better to wait at that price. Can't justify buying M8 when really its quite a relatively small update over the M7 imo.
Just ordered a SIM Free HTC One M8 in Gunmetal Grey from Carphone Warehouse. Should be here tomorrow.

Has anyone had any experiences with buying from Mobile Fun before? Just found this offer, and i'm up for paying the £50 Extra for the 32GB model if indeed it is genuine.
Just wondering if they've listed 32GB as an accident? Possibly...

Bought plenty of accessories, never a phone. Always been fine, though
why do handtec and clove not have 32gb anywhere but in US almost all the models sold are 32gb?
Liking the look of it.
Tried sense 6 on my M7 and im liking that too, never been a massive fan of sense!
Can I justify forking out the cash to update. Undecided! :/
i just walked into phones4u and got one tonight
I've had experience when the One X+ came out that there were barely any 32gb versions available in the UK. I think it must be a conspiracy?! Lol
