USA Note Users, where did you buy your Note, and for how much? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

I think it would be helpful to make a thread so we can all make the right buying decision. There are no wrong answers, of course, and I realize some may not want to give a dollar amount, but from most of the posts I have seen people have been pretty open about the $
I for one am hoping that the Note will come to a country with a more favorable exchange rate than those with the Euro or the Pound..
Edit: I see this post is very similar to another recent post that I missed, so if you bought yours from the USA, no need to double post here

http://handtec.co.uk about GBP 430 (the "SIM free Network" model), GBP 14 for FedEx. UK to Hawaii in 2 days, a day earlier than the tracking schedule!

I got mine from unlockedmobiles.com for $805 US. (about 504 british pounds)

I got mine from here....Yup, it costs more but shipping is super fast. Ordered Nov 2 and arrived on Nov 4. I'm from Singapore.

Might as well buy from ebay. Same thing! Amazon sux for anything unless its sold and shipped by amazon
thats not really sold by amazon though, thats just being sold through amazon
Your right. I didnt notice they were private sellers...

Hello folks!
Is there anything wrong in getting it from Amazon - US, even if its private seller?
I was thinking of ordering it from Amazon for two reasons:
1. Using Amazon's 12 month interest free finance option
2. At least initial return (within 7 days) would be easy, IF something is wrong with the device?
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
I have been watching amazon resellers and considering them. Most of them are on ebay too. But see my other thread--for a 790 price expansys usa has the device in stock and they have a better return policy--that I would trust more IMHO.

Yes, i did your post about them. I guess I should order it from Expansys-US. Just wanted to take advantage of without interest 12 month payout from Amazon.
Thank you again!
Just ordered mine through another seller (Techno.Trading.House) on amazon for 770+8 for expedited shipping and i used my store card for the 12 month financing.

STAY TUNED ! Just got my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 P6800 Baby in my Hands
Good lookin out. However I was on an Australian forum...you'll have to Google search Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 forum to find it but there were a few members that found Australian retailers selling below $500.
For you prospective US buyers, Negri so far has had the lowest price I've found (their price include shipping) and is in the $570 range. Still pricey.
But really not much more than the 8.9 and you get so many more features on the 7.7.
I'm ordering this tab this weekend....can't wait finally to have it in my hands!!!

Also ,if ordering from Negri ,put in the word "GIFT" in the coupon blank at check out and get another $30 off til 1/31/12 to make it $542 US with free shipping.
It was at my house in 3 days as they ship fast.
The part that Negri doesn't mention is it's the Hong Kong version and doesn't come with a US AC plug adapter.I already had one so no big deal for me.

Guess I should have clarified that I got the P6810 for that price. Just checked Negri and you are correct that the P6800 is about $100 more.
There are a few reputable sellers listing the 6800 on ebay now.

Hey, thanks for all the info ..I ordered a P6810 (WiFi only) from Negri today. Same price with the coupon at check out for $542 US w/free shipping. Great tip on the coupon, really appreciate the that!!
If this doesn't come with a US AC adapter where does one find one at?
Also since it's the Asian version, I guess it comes with Chinese language as the default? A setting change I presume at set up. However do you know if the keyboard will be in Chinese as well?
They say they are sending directly from Nevada, so I am in Florida right now...will see how long it takes.
For those of us with the WiFi only, an option you have is to get a personal "MiFi" hotspot. I got mine as a pay as you go device from T-Mobile. I can connect at 4G LTE speeds most of the time with my old tablet. I just top off the MiFi when I know I will be on the road.
Yes DO NOT buy from SimplyElectronics.. trust me.!
I had a US power adapter included with my purchase given to me by the cell dealer.
Also once the settings change has been made everything including the keyboard will switch to the selected language.

You'll just need a 2 prong AC cord to replace the big 3 prong one. They are like $3-$4 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1&_nkw=2 prong ac cord&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283
Like this....
ebay is the best place got mine for 6 bucks
If i order from negri would it be safe to use my credit card.
Why not buy here?

bye
with paypal, no risk
thats just wifi version
Thanks! I actually mentioned that being the Asian version of the 7.7 it would require a U.S, AC plug adapter. Negri said they would include it in the box with the tablet.
I got confirmation of the order, and confirmation of the shipping with a FedEx tracking number. I should receive the tab on Thurs 1/26. This is within the time expected for the "free" shipping option I chose when I ordered from Negri.
I also ordered the OEM Samsung case for the 7.7. Thanks for the recommendation on that vendor (http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/62515) it wwas the best price as well. Also got an order confirmation and shipping tracking order from them as well.
I ordered my original SGT 7" from Simply Electronics. They were the cheapest place at the time. I think I paid around $630 last year. Anyway, I received it very fast by DHL.
My only problem/concern was that they don't tell you that the item is coming to you from Hong Kong. I had a problem with one that I bought from eBay first that I thought was coming from the U.K. It had a lot of Korean Apps. I think that it had been flashed as the package came from Slovakia.
So, when I got the one from S/E, and saw that it also had a lot of Korean Apps on it, I contacted them and they said that they try to send version that are for the correct country. They also offer a one year warranty. The only problem was that I had sent both of my tablets to Samsung Repair Centre in the U.K. to have them flash it to the correct English versions(I bricked the first one by flashing the wrong CSC).
So, just from my experience, I didn't have any problems and had I not already sent it back to the U.K. to have them officially flash them(Yes, I do know how now , I could have sent it back to Simply Electronics and they would have sent me a U.K. version. So, I think they are pretty legit from my experience. As they always say, YMMV.
Hope that helps in any way one way or the other.

For me personally it is also important to consider insurance. If I'm forking over 700 US$ I want to protect my investment
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Amazon has them but hardly ever at release date. MoCity usually have them but the price is normally more expensive from what I remembered. Clove normally had the best price.
But from my experience with clove and expansys, you have to pay upfront. But remember this for those in the USA, if you order from UK sites we don't pay vat and the total including shipping is cheaper than ordering from America.
With regards to insurance, never had a problem personally, but if I did samsung has warranty covering it.

I ordered by Galaxy Nexus through Handtec (handtec.co.uk) and had a good experience with them. If I do pull the trigger and order a GS3 then I will probably do it through them. Depending on price.
Expansys been taking pre orders for them.

I always buy electronics from Negri. There probably the best customer service I've dealt with. It all comes down to personal preference with this type of stuff.

[UK] Nexus 7 UK Discussion Thread

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

Mine should arrive this morning, just a few hours, I hope the ones in the uk are a fresh batch with lower defect rate. It seems the prices have levelled off at £199 for 16GB and £239 for 32GB, I have not seen the LTE variant yet but i believe that would go for £299 32GB, but again i am not sure. :laugh:
I paid for the Express AM service from Parcelforce on Ebuyer so it might be here in the next hour or so. I literally cannot wait.

Yes but I only can buy with paypal and they don't work with that.
is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?
Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.

Black Friday on Oppostyle

http://europe.oppostyle.com/
Oppo Find 5 White 16Go (international version) price drops to 299€.
Oppo Find 5 Midnight 32Go (international version) price drops to 349€.
Oppo R819 Black or White 16go price drops to 249€.
EDIT:
Free shipping across the EU...
OR NOT!!! (Read the thread)
Apparently, some of their packages are now sent directly from Hong-Kong...
Which is plain stupid, since there's at least 50% chances that your local customs will hold the package and ask you for extra fees including the VAT.
This, of course, is a normal process when buying from outside the EU. Whenever I order something from Japan or China, I already know that I'll have to pay the customs fees upon receiving my package.
However, Oppostyle claims all around their website that they "ship from the EU" (and this was actually true when I ordered my Find 5 from them a few months ago).
If now they start to randomly deliver orders directly from Hong Kong, they are supposed to inform you before you place your order!
So, watch it if you still wanna buy anything from them.

Here in the US the Find 5 Midnight 32G dropped to $449, mine should be here today!
Bad luck i ordered the Moto G a few days before the deal. R819 would have been a nice deal!
does someone know when the prices will come back to normal?
thanks..
For the Euro shop, those are now the new prices until they're out of stock.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, I've ordered mine on thursday midnight and the Find 5 was shipped from HONG KONG 4 days later. It got stopped at Croatian customs (where I am from). Asking for the amount I payed, full details of the phone, where it was ordered from, some EORI code I had to activate. After this they would charge me VAT (25%) + custom fees. Too much hassle, canceled my order. "Shipping from EU" was one of the biggest reasons I ordered from OppoStyle, and now this happens. They even tried to declare the package is worth 155 USD, but customs are customs.
Not sure where you placed your order, but oppostyle Europe doesn't ship anything from Hong Kong. They ship from the U.k. Hence the free shipping and no custom taxes whatsoever...

I ordered from europe.oppostyle.com. I contacted the support and they said they would refund me the money that I need to pay the customs but only after I pay it. I don't have the money (25% of the price + more). But it wouldn't have come to this if they only shipped it from UK like stated in their TOS and rest of website. I don't know why they choose to mail it from Hong Kong, but it costed them one customer.
That really sucks balls... Sorry that this happened to you, and il hope nobody else will have to deal with that kind of crap!

Not only that but the support hasn't answered in two days (>24 hours) Asked for a full refund.
EDIT: They offered to sent it from EU, finally. Turned out ok, the support is slow but they do their job.
I ordered my Find 5 2weeks ago and it has been delivered in 4 days. No custom trouble as it came from UK.
Just a note about that a friend bought the same after few days and he received the oppo with a different ROM of mine.
