Is there anyway i can get the Orange san fransisco shipped to india if i buy it pay-as you go?
If i get someone from the UK to buy it for me,what would be the approximate shipping cost?
Depending on destination in India DHL would charge £40-£50 including insurance & tracking.
I am sure there are cheaper options i.e. friends/business colleagues visiting UK or lesser known shippers.
Its on sale in India under a different name if that's any help.

Twice the price! Maybe you should start importing them yourself and selling them for 1.5 times the price.
I'm tempted to jump on a plane to India with a suitcase full of Sanfrancisco's myself.

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a Desire HD from an ebay seller (based in HK I think, although it says Australia).
eg:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Unlock-H...51917?pt=AU_Mobile_Phones&hash=item2eb0b07ccd
Are there any other Australian users that have done this? Do you think I will have any dramas using it on Australian 3G network? (Optus)
Any advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
I bought my from the UK through clove.co.uk
Here's the product page http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-desire-hd
It cost $507 AUD atm
Personally i wouldn't buy a phone off ebay (even though that's where i got my psp) but it's up to you. Clove is cheaper and i've had good experience with them
Got mine sealed brand new from ebay £280 bargain of the decade.
Thanks for the advice.
Can I ask how much shipping cost you from Clove? Apparently I cant get the price until checking out.....
Sounds like the way to go... depending on the shipping cost

DHL was around 30 pounds last time I bought from them, which was a DHD by the way. I would also recommend them as I've bought a Hero and Desire before from Clove and they are both got to Sydney in perfect condition.
Thanks for that, just gotta wait for the iphone4 to sell
$20-30 for DHL

Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.
Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions
mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome
Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy
Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol
Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?
Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)
hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.
handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon
Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...
my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

I can't afford to buy outright just now, so I am waiting patiently for it to be released so I can grab it on my plan with Optus! Waiting, Waiting, WAITING!
hi guys
After bouncing back and forth between the SGS II and sensation forums, i decided to buy the SGS II
SGS II seems more powerful in terms of performance and has better hardware, while the sensation seems to be better in terms of it UI (sense 3.0)
The SGS II has not been released yet where i live so i'm gonna buy it from expansys or handtec and get it shipped, and i have been hearing about SGS IIs faulty on arrival units (circles on screen and stuff like that)
So my question is how frequently are people facing faulty on arrival units. It will be a hassle for me to get a faulty unit and then ship it back to the UK and pay for shipment (around USD 50).
Which online store do you recommend i buy from ?
Thanks for the feedback
Id also like to know too
Look into clove.co.uk as an option

Surprisingly carphone warehouse was cheapest and had stock. That's where I got mine from.
Next day delivery free too. Though you'll have to check re: international shipping.
Always found mobilefun really good + if you use topcashback site you'll get 26 pounds back.
Hope this helps
