Aww HELL NAW... Handtec unlocked is 650 with shipping.....

lol overpriced much?

I don't think that's from amazon. It's one of their other sellers, I believe....not directly from amazon.com

yep, they're also charging shipping fees on top of that, so definitely a private seller making a lot of profit for each unit!

it will run on some networks

6606 will be able to handle more networks but I don't care about that . My current phone is on edge network and it works fine . I preordered from clove uk 6603 model . And I haven't seen 6606 anywhere for sale or pre-sale .

True, but as far we know it only supports 850 3G band for AT&T, not sure if that good enough to get good service! especially if the person travels a lot

You made me happy for 10 minutes until I realized that's the price excluding VAT. Including if I can omit that VAT thing somehow if I purchase in another country in the EU.
A few Danish online stores state their price as being around £370 ex. shipping but incl. sales tax. Like shopitonline.dk has it listed at 3354 Danish kroner, which is ~£368. I don't know their expected shipping date or if they ship outside Denmark. But I can ask if people want to know.
Regards.
I pre-ordered at unlocked-mobiles.com for £429.89. Not sure if is the cheapest but a lot cheaper than what stores take in Sweden and UK gets the phone earlier as well.

You can get phones with a contract for much less money then when you buy them seperate
Expansys USA listed for preorder ~$600.00 but the 3G frequency as 900/2100. I thought it suppose 900/1900/2100? Plan to buy using on AT&T.
Handtec, I've ordered the 16GB version with shipping to Saudi Arabia for GBP 484.88

Be careful with that 16GB - AFAIK they are only available via network operaters, so this may be an 8GB model with an 8GB card.

Obtaining a North American SE Arc

Anyone know where I can buy a North American version of the Arc that will ship to the USA. I see it available at Best Buy Canada but they won't ship it. No one else, not even Sonystyle seems to carry it. Anyone know where to get one?
Thanks
Check the Japanese arc thread. Lot of us ordered from a Japanese seller on eBay. You have three color options with Japanese model.
To me still Japanese(Docomo) is the best option since you get all the colors unless Sonystyle starts selling them from tomorrow...
color is not a real big deal for me and the Japanese reseller wants over $200 more then what it's being sold for in canada. Any other possibilities?

its not $200 over , how did you get that
Rogers from store price including taxes is $650
so this is without ebay fees or paypal or seller profit or shipping fees
the to get the japanese one with paypal only is $720 and he is shipping from japan.
so you do the math now
Good luck
Best Buy canada is selling for $550 as well as their Sony Style stores.

Forgot about that exchange rate... But there still is paperwork with the FCC to deal with as well as 2 week international shipping wait time. I guess no one has found any place willing to ship it to the states yet. I've tried getting it shipped through rogers, sonystyle, and bestbuy and they all won't do it.

I went though this Seller from Japan.
Ordered on Sunday and received it on Wednesday (Free Shipping)
No FCC, since they already got the paper works.
You choose what is best for you, but we are trying to show you more option. You may better off till someone ship it to you from Rogers or here in the US someone starts selling them.
Good Luck
Edit: This guy on ebay sells them from Canada - Rogers

The model that is on preorder at Clove, the n7100, does NOT have any lte capability. 3G only.
The n7105 model with lte comes out a bit later.
Super expensive, 670€, 100 more than euro prices of holland, germany or austria.
Greedy clove as always, not buying there.
i just purchased it -VAT as it's shipping to AU
480GBP = 746AUD inc shipping

Who's selling it cheaper? If you are not in the UK, you don't pay VAT so its 551€ + shipping. I paid £464 including shipping to NZ.

On the handtec website....it says it has 4G LTE but it is the N7100 model as well:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...16gb--n7100--sim-free-unlocked--marble-white-
I'm a bit confused, I thought the new Note 2 has LTE support, which is something new!???
They must be wrong.
For what it's worth, PhoneArena said it has LTE support as well.
Not saying they're right, but who knows
I got an email back from clove this morning stating that the veraion they are stocking is 3g and not lte.
"As 4G / LTE has only begun trials in the UK very recently the version of the Note 2 we are receiving next week will not be LTE compatible. EE will probably have a locked down LTE version of the Note 2 at some point in the future, hopefully this year, which means a SIM free version may become available. If it does and we have access to it then we will place it for sale on the website

I pre-ordered mine from clove, but ended up actually buying one (well, ordering and paying for one) from , because of some issues paying for it on the website. Handtec have got the same dates listed, so it's just a case of waiting for it to arrive now.

Finally Z1 is coming to Thailand

I live in Thailand and have been waiting for Z1 release here. I don't want to import from EU due to high import duty and lack of warranty in case I get defective phone. I just went to Sony Store to see if I could pre-order one. They told me that Z1 will officially launch at Thailand Mobile Expo 2013 from Oct 3~6 and I can pre-order at Sony booth. I'll order mine on very first day Hope it'll come with latest firmware and fix superior auto by the time it is released.

warranty is a concern but if it comes to the worst I'll post it to Clove
