Staples has a $100 discount on any tablets and that makes the Xoom $399.
I had bought the Xoom from Staples when they only had $50 coupon and today they refunded another $50 when I showed the new coupon. Thy returned the previous purchase and sold it back to me at the lower price.

Thanks for bringing attention to this coupon zzxyz! I found the coupon over in the XDA_Developers Asus Transformer forum earlier this morning. I bought my TF over a month ago but I bought my Xoom at Best Buy 9 days ago when the price dropped to $499.00. I took the Staples coupon in to Best Buy and asked them if they could do anything for me. They handed me $106.65 in cash. Awesome! Xoom for $399.00 Thanks again for bringing attention to this coupon in our Xoom forum!

sweet. bought xoom at best buy last week for $499.00..think I'll try this and see if I can get some money back....
Crazy deal they got going on. You can get a Dell Streak 7 for $199. Not too shabby if you're on a budget.
I'm getting the xoom next week on friday (July 29th) after I cash my check. Spending all of my money on that thing.
picked mine up today and am loving it. Great price!
Is there a way to know where the Xoom was purchased or would you need the receipt?

You would need the reciept for staples. They also have 15% off all the tablet accessories at time of purchace and 25% back in rewards store wide (tablets and normal exclusions apply)
Also their accidental damage plans are being fulfilled with cash cards for store credit not refurbished...
Dell streak 200 with coupon
Xoom 400
Acer iconia 300
And more pretty slick
(Somewhat of a staples bias )
Just so everyone knows places that price match also are taking the coupon. I just picked up an Asus Transformer at HH Gregg for 399.99. They honored Staples coupon.
Try Best Buy as well
Edit: Make everyone's life a little easier.. See coupon below

xoom!!! (You are on the xoom forum)
Great support from independent developers.
Honestly chances are you will be happy with either. I wouldn't stress too much. If you wait a couple of months what's to stop you from waiting a couple more months and then more and more.
There will Always be something around the corner that will be better, and I don't see anything coming soon that's would be worth waiting for.

Seems that Best Buy has the 16GB Galaxy Note in-stock at the stores, while the 32GB is not yet. Might change as the day goes by, but I would think its worth the extra $50 for the extra 16GB of built in storage.

Yeah. Originally there was a possibility I would be getting the 10.1 tonight, but I'm really leaning toward the 32GB version. Might be a few days.
I guess Best Buy will not be carrying the 32 in stores. HHGREGG by me has a $50 off coupon for purchases of $499 and more so I think i will just get the 16GB and at least it will only be $449. I can live.
For those that want the 32GB, I guess you can get the 16GB now and exchange it for a 32GB when they become available in the store. You would have to pay the difference and hope that it is before the 30 days.

HHGregg specifically says that the $50 off $499 cannot be used on Unilateral Price Policy products. I can't imagine Galaxy Note 10.1 not being registered as one because it definitely is.
I missed that line. Good catch! Well that sucks!
Just picked mine up from Best Buy. They definitely didn't have the 32gb in stock.

Just order off there website and see if it is available for pickup. Or order off amazon and avoid sales tax and wait a little or use the savings from sales tax to get overnight shipping. Plus if you have an amazon store credit card no interest for 12 months on all orders over 499

This was exactly my experience. Except I went to Amazon and saved a lot of money that way. It was the taxes and extended warranty that was way cheaper.
This thread is dedicated for the European availability and pricing of the new Nexus 7 tablet. One of the puzzling questions right now is when are we going to get the device officially through Play Store, or through 3rd party retailers, and I've got some bad news, possibly not anytime soon. Feel free to share your information and contribute building up this thread
United Kingdom
Play Store - no info yet
Currys and PC World is taking pre-orders for £199 for the 16GB WiFi and £239 for the 32GB WiFi model, shipping from September 13
Ebuyer offers the same price, expecting the device on August 29
Spain
Play Store - no info yet
Germany
Play Store - no info yet
France

shout to the genius that closed the old thread instead of moving it here.
For France, apparently it will be for Week 38 ( September 16th) by FNAC after by the Play Store, I don't know

August 29th is certainly better than September 13th. Is there any chance of it being available sooner or August-September is really what we can hope for?

I bet it means they have no clue about availability
I pre-ordered from Ebuyer day after launch, the price of £200 is a rip off, based on Google's pricing of the N7 2012 it should be ~£180 but I wouldn't be suprised to see the google play price cheaper. If it appears on play cheaper I'll just cancel the ebuyer preorder.

Do they charge you straight away or hold it until it's released?

I've ordered one on Amazon.com and shipping it via comGateway to the Netherlands since it's not possible to order directly from Amazon.
I expect it will cost me around $229 + $24 shipping = $253 = €190, €190 + €10 clearence costs (fedex) + €8 import duties = €208, €208 * 1.21 (21% tax) makes it a total of €250.
It's a fair price considering it probably won't be available here anywhere before mid September for around the same price.
A thing is, is it worth buying from US? I mean I think it'll take atleast a couple weeks, and then if there are any warranty problems, it will be awkward sending it back,having to pay for international delivery and whatnot

How come your fedex is that cheap. Mine is $28.80 for delivery.
Anyways the total price to get it delivered to UK including import tax is £238 which is close to the original price of £239.99.
And yeah warranty is a issue but I'll live. Hopefully it isn't a lemon Nexus 7 I get.
EDIT: £233 in total not £238.
Did the same with the Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store and within one and a half week I received the phone so that was a good experience.
As far is I can see the N7 will be delivered on tuesday at comGateway and from there it takes 3-5 working days shipping to the Netherlands which is pretty quick. In case I've got warranty issues I'll try to fix it with a local Asus repair center in the Netherlands, fix it myself (and losing warranty) or send it back to Amazon.

I'm paying comGateway $24 to forward the package and on top of that I have to pay Fedex €10,50 for handling customs (they advance TAX and import duties for me) so the total costs for importing the N7 is allmost €70.

2 quick questions as I'm a newbie to importing:
1) Do I have to pay "VAT" if I'm importing to the United States?
2) Would Sony honor the warranty on this 'grey market' device in the United States?
Thanks for any help you can give
Wow, indeed. I'll probably order from Handtec soon.

You'll need to pay the vat as it's been sold in the UK and the taxman will want his cut of that sale.
Don't know about the warranty, it could be a European one or Worldwide, you'll need to contact the seller or Sony to check.
Also you'll need to check that the GSM will work in your region.
Update - No vat to pay for exporting.
I'll probably order a red one from Clove tomorrow,I hope this isn't a typo and they honor the price. I'm sure though I've seen it on Clove before at £420, so it does look like this is a genuine price reduction.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact-16gb-green.html
£425.99 incVAT
£354.99 exVAT
Thanks for the info on the low price! Went ahead and ordered one from Clove.
Ordered mine. Great price. Happy to see Sony going for volume over margin. Hope to see lots of development on this, as it should be incredibly popular. Honestly expected it to be £500 at the Sony store and ~£440 at the cheaper retailers.
Re: importing to the US, you shouldn't need to pay VAT (contact the retailer to make sure they don't charge - may be better to order over the phone), but you will need to pay import / customs duty and possibly sales tax in your state in the US.
Me too. Brilliant value
GREAT! Thanks!
Just brought a red/orange one from Handtec, since they use DPD which is my favorite delivery company.
Does anybody know if the phone their sell is UK model, EU or grey import?
P.S. DPD will give you 1 hr window slot in the morning of delivery, and you can track the drive on a map to see roughly when you will get your delivery within the 1hr time frame. Much better than other company's 8am to 6pm delivery time frame, too afraid to go the the bathroom for missing the door bell approach.

There are only two models: D5803 and D5833. The D5803 has UK and EU bands, as well as bands for some US carriers. The D5833 is the one for Asian markets. You can be sure the Handtec one is the D5803.
Handtec removed the green z3c and also matched price with clove - both are about 290 GBP without VAT
Ordered mine today and was pleasantly surprised when it came out to 290 GBP at the checkout since I'm from Canada and don't have to play the VAT fee! Best pre-order pricing for a beastly phone eVar!
P.S. LULz at all the Apple fanboys waiting in line and paying nearly twice as much for a significantly more inferior phone, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Hah! Yeah, I've seen that graphic make its rounds around social media. Classic. But also true! So by 2016, the iPhone 7 may have finally caught up to the Z1 Compact.

From history, it has always been the case that sim free Sony phones from any outlet always allow unlocking of the bootloader. I doubt that this would change this generation.

I am keeping my eyes out for deals, nothing yet. Will post if I find something
Im not having luck finding the shield on sale. I imagine amazon will go crazy with deals on apps
I'd be a but surprised if this goes in sale, the price is already great for an android tablet, but it isn't a big name like Samsung or any of the Nexus line.
Please share anything you find
Black Friday o_0.... What are you talking about..,,. The shield... THEE SHIELD tablet starts at $299.... Who needs black Friday

Last year the Shield Portable had a black friday sale everywhere. $299 reduced to $249 with the case thrown in. Also, it wasn't announced until thanksgiving day.

I'm hopeful we will get something similar this year. If so, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. If not, I'll probably buy a used LG G Pad GPE.
Personally, I'm hoping for $249 with the cover and the green box thrown in for free. Maybe even a $299 option that includes the controller.
Well, it's happening but i it's only the LTE version which I have no use for.

Have fun with that LG, completely different products for different uses there, if you are just looking for a cheap tablet then the Shield is not where you need to be anyways.
Woot! http://shield.nvidia.com/promotions...IHETpodcMTcRlPa+TFAwTG5toziV8R7HAKs1v3NsQXBXg

Booooo, what a shame, I wanted wifi one deal, not interested at all on the LTE one (I don't even have LTE on my country). Won't be buying this time, maybe next year when the price drops.

As did I. Ended up using a $30 off $150 purchase at tigerdirect.com
I wonder is that just when buying direct from Nvidia or if other retailers are included also.

I sent an email asking the same question I will update when I get a response.
Update:
c l: Will the black Friday Sale of the Nvidia Shield tablet be available only online?
Mohemed Arshad: Let me check on that.
c l: Ok thanks
Mohemed Arshad: Yes, Black Friday Sale of NVIDIA SHIELD is available only Online. Retails store information has not updated on the website yet. More info will be updated soon
c l: So to confirm the sale will only be available online and not in any of the physical stores?
Mohemed Arshad: That information is not updated yet, currently its only for online stores.
Glad I have free LTE

I really hope we see a deal on the wifi version as well, even just toss in the case for free or something.
Hi, as an unhappy owner if the Nexus 5X, I am looking to buy a 6P. As an EU resident however, I won't put up with the ridiculous price over here. Luckily for me, I am going to NY next week, and if I manage to find one for the right price, I will definitely get one.
I want to ask some local people for some tips and places where to look for one. It also doesn't have to be new..even refurbished or second hand in great condition would do.
Thanks

Best Buy in NY have it in stock. Check their website.f
Check bestbuy, create an account if it is in stock and you can just pick it up with your photo ID and CC if you're afraid it'll be out of stock by the time you get there.

Or B&H link
So 499 is the lowest as I can get? What about some places that sell used or refurbished ones?
Thanks

It's not New York, but they're refurbished.

OP: I assume you know that the US version (1511) only supports certain bands of the international version (1512) that may limit the usage in EU and elsewhere. A reminder post, if nowt else.

as @thecarp1975 said or you can check swappa on this link for the 6p. If you have friends or trust someone, do the purchase now because it could take sometime for the shipping
kboya
Guy from a local forum has bought the 5X from US and all the bands are working..he also posted a picture of the box with all the EU bands listed..but I might double check on that one

I'm in NY and for the last 3 weeks they were on sale. Best buy had the 32 gb version for 450 and 64 gb got 500
A store known to most in the NY and NJ area called b & H photo had them even cheaper.... 32 gb for 425 and 64 gb for 475, no tax and included a $50 gift card to use at the b&h store now. Unfortunately, those sales ended a couple of days ago on March 27th. I was lucky enough to get the 64 gb for 475

got one on order myself through the B&H website unfortunately when I placed mine they had just ran out of stock and the availability date keeps getting pushed back. Went from 3/29 to 4/8 now. Disappointed as I've had good luck with them in the past

B&H is awesome. They recently had a sale where all 6P's were 50 cheaper plus a 50$ gift card... So everyone bought from them, that's why they are now ridiculously backordered.

yes probably going to somehow find some patience if I still want that discount :laugh: I'm sure it doesn't help that I got the 64 GB graphite which I see as potentially quite popular.
Looking forward to the upgrade from the original Nexus 5 to the 6p though. hopefully they won't make me wait too long
