Expansys price drop - Venue Pro General

Expansys have recently dropped their 8GB SIM Free price by £50 to GBP199.99
Admittedly not as good as the Dell Swarm 16GB £179.50 sell-out,
http://www.dellswarm.com/uk/swarm/pastswarm
but may be a sign that other retailers may follow suit?

I was tempted at the £250 price drop.
This is really tempting me. I wish it was more powerful though Its now last gen hardware

Then it wouldn't be under £200
And how powerful do you need? Never see any lag (nor had a single freeze or crash) on my v1 LG.
Might be an idea to vote and keep an eye on the Dell Swarm though - seems to be a regular thing (4 since July) but you have to be quick to get one.

do the US bands work for you?
getting them from dell directly in the USA is cheaper than 200 pounds. (190.. hrmm.. don't have pound on my keyboard)

Doubtful. You are almost certainly on 2100MHz, which is covered by both the AT&T and T-Mobile US DVP quite nicely.
The TMOUS version also has 900MHz support, making it a better bet for world-wide use than the AT&T version.

quite cheap, mind u that Touch Pro is around USD 945 here
I heard some rumors the with contract in UK it might go as low as 299. So if T-mobile us picks this up (*prays*) it should only be around $399-499.

Eeerrghhh, I really doubt it... I'll be crossing my fingers for you, but I don't see any US carrier taking this subsidized.
I was just in an ATT store this morning.. and the guy told me they had a conference meeting... in that meeting this information was passed on: Xperia phone will not be one added as subsidized phone.. however they will sell it.. at a date undisclosed.. but it will be full unlocked price they say. so im assuming 800-900 is what we're looking at.

Galaxy Tab 2 Launch in the World?

Hey guys,
I 've thought that it'd be useful If we discuss here the launch dates of our new tablet around the world and the approx. prices If possible?
Great thread idea. I can't wait to see updates on release info, particularly for a wifi-only model if one becomes available. Right now, it's all conjecture, right?
I wonder when and where first.
Also which carrier is going to handle this.
Do I want wifi only?
So many questions...
Vodafone Portugal just announced that it will launch the 10.1 in March, with a price tag of 699€.
This should be the 3G version.
http://translate.google.com/transla...gura_lancamento_do_novo_tablet_d_1132024.html
960 dollars... holy crap! I hope the price drops in the US.
If my external hard driver works on the USB and transferring/editing files is cake, then I'm in.

Holy... I am pretty sure it'll be a bit cheaper in the US. Has to be!
Usually in Portugal there's no contract with the operator.
So you buy it for 699€ locked to that network, but your not forced to stay for 2 years and you can choose a cheap plan.
Or you can just use it as a wifi-only.
But 699€ for a tablet i think is to much. Maybe with the presentation of the ipad2 the price will be cut off. i hope so
We have to stay tuned with Vodafone Portugal
Looks like it will be released in March in the UK with a price tag of around £549
If it is that much my first thought is" wow how much" but when you get over the shock and see whats under the HUD and what it can do then it just makes me think to hell with the price i need one
I wonder why these tablets are so expensive. Don't they understand that it is t too much for most of the customers? They are even more expensive than the apple products.and they weren't the cheapest ones either. A laptop can do more than a tablet for a lower price.
I really wish that they would just give more options like Apple did with their iPad launch.

I now heard in that podcast, that the other manufacturers just are not able to produce as cheap as apple.

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!

Prices have skyrocketed in the U.S.

Can you believe how the prices have gone up in the U.S. for the unlocked international version? Heck, the price of the GN sold directly from Amazon has gone up a lot even though they don't have any in stock.
I bought one on eBay and the guy cancelled on me after I won the bid.
how much did you pay??
Bought it here for 699 Euros = 893.39 U.S. dollars
How are the prices there?
Check handtec.co.uk, they have been dropping the price each week.
Looks like $650.00 including shipping to US.
I got mine from simply electronics for £480, and it seems to be going down every week.
500 euros on amazon.de.
We have to pay BRL1800 in Brazil for you. That's roughly USD1000. Don't you ****ing dare to ocmplain on your prices =p

Agreed! I was bought one in eBay and had to return it because it was pretty beat up. While I ordered that one prices for new ones were around $650. Now they have shot up over $100! Now I am stuck with a complete set of accessories e.g. case, screen protectors, car dock etc and NO GALAXY NOTE
Here in India, it is available for Rs32250 which is roughly $611. Unfortunately, Flipcart.com doesn't ship overseas.

The prices were dropping the prior to Christmas on Amazon. The lowest I saw was 638 or so. They started to go back up and I pulled the trigger at 649.90. I noticed they are higher than that now and Global Mobiles higher also and is running out of stock.
Demand must be growing!

Maybe not, the US one has a nerfed CPU. If you want the real version you still have to import.
I have the import and it is mint with a good screen (no bad pixels or dark areas). I might sell it nd replace with the Galaxy tab 7.7 if that comes out. Still not sure though.

I think what will help is that the average consumer has no idea what a Snapdragon or an Exynos is; but, one thing is for sure supply goes up prices come down!
I bought mine a couple weeks before christmas on eBay for $680 USD with free shipping.
Once the supply is directed to the large carriers there will most probably be a shortage on the unlocked front,Samsung doesn't manufacture Galaxy Notes alone.
I was originally going to wait for the AT&T version but once I heard about the CPU I plopped 690 for the international, should be here in 4 days, time to say goodbye to skyrocket

Brand New HTC HD2 T9193 Telstra Still Available

If you live in Melbourne, Australia, JB Hi Fi Mobile Phone Shop in Elizabeth Street, still have 2 brand new HTC HD2 T9193 Telstra units. Will sell for reasonable offer. I got mine for $300. This was current as of 27 March 2012. Hope this helle someone.
Isn't this phone 3 years old? 300 is crazy for a phone that old
The most awesome thing about it for us Americans is that it works on att 3g but I would never pay that price for one

They still sell for more than WP7 on ebay, because they are so versatile and can dual boot Wp7 and android.
no way, I wouldn't spend more than $150 on that phone, even if it gets att 3G

Telstra Leos are very rare. They fetch a MUCH higher price than the regular Euro Leos and the Tmo ones. $300 is a very fair price for a brand new Telstra model.
