Fellow Filipinos, let's discuss here our thoughts about the upcoming HTC One.
Anyone of you know when is the release here in our country?
And any of you already has their handset with them, please post here.
Ordered mine on handtec - color black. Still awaiting it's first stock expected next week.
I'm not sure about the availability of the handset in our country but last time I asked(before the delay happened) HTC said we're to expect it mid of April. But judging by the delays that happened it should be between mid of April to mid of May.
And yeah Doubt this thread would be active since HTC isn't that widespread in our country. They don't even have any stores here in Iloilo or even in the whole visayas and mindanao.
Best chances of getting it is through Kim Store lol!
I know a lot of people who use HTC here, and I'm located in mindanao

^^ I was talking about HTC stores Not 3rd party retailers hehe and that's why I mentioned kimstore in the end since they're usually the first 3rd party retailers here in our country that sells latest gadget earlier than official date. I heard they're exporting their products from singapore/hongkong to sell it here.

How much did it cost you? I saw CMK Cellphones post one already but it's still coming soon. I know Kimstore and they currently have the best deal for gadgets so I'm waiting for them to post about prices etc.
Yeah, HTC isn't really popular here in our country because of the lack of advertisement. You know people here believes what they see on advertisements rather than experiencing the gadget itself or rather reading reviews about it.

Are you going to switch from One X to HTC One brother? I'm currently using DHD so I really need to jump now to a higher handset.

I might, depending on the price. If it's less than 30k then there's a huge chance I'll upgrade.

I think it'll be 30k flat or less. Since a lot of online shops are offering smart phones now on a lower price than mall stores.
Hi! Here's my reciept.

So yep 29-30k PHP. If you decide not to get the urbeats addon it should only total to about 28k+ PHP. And yeah you could also get lesser charges on the shipping fee if you opt in for UK Royal mail but it's a little bit slower compared to fedex which would prolly take about 3-4days until it arrives here.

That being said, I might actually buy one right now! Hahaha, how much is your total including the shipping fee from Fedex?
Hi! It's already on the screenshot. 29,725.24 PHP no more no less Although I'm pretty sure it's gonna be alot more cheaper right now since the value of our currency is a little bit higher compared to the time I purchased the HTC One.
For me this is already a cheap deal. Having a free flip case + urbeats headphone which would total to like 4-5k+ PHP if I sell it on ebay. The sole reason why I opted in on getting the UK variant is because it has more wider range of LTE bands compared to the Asian variant and I'm not even sure if we will be getting the LTE variant here in our country.

hi guys! anyone in the US who got theirs yet? I just ordered the 64GB today, crossing my fingers and hoping i"ll get it in 2days
@SammyDroidWiz
I can see that you're a Samsung user would you also buy the HTC One? Or just passing by?
Hi! How did you preorder the 64gb version? Is it through At&t or through HTC directly(developer edition)?

That's a good deal! More tempted to buy one now *drools* What color did you get anyway?
I chose the color black. I preferred it because with the silver one the sides(yellowish stained white), volume rocker(grey) & power button color(black) doesn't seem to match the overall color of the handset. Whereas the black has a black power button & a black volume rocker so for me it's alot more cleaner & sleeker. Anyways that's just personal preferences eversince the nokia 6600 days I always opted the black over any other colors when it comes to gadgets anyway.
And yeah of course it would match the color of the otterbox I ordered lol!

There's already an otterbox for One? Commuter or Defender?
I hope the black 64gb would arrive here in the Phils. I was almost convinced to upgrade to the Butterfly but when I saw the One, I think I will hold my upgrade, though the black 64gb variant is yet to be seen as of now. I'll just wait for local units, since my One S is still less than a year old.
I'm glad to see that there are still filipinos who aren't blinded by nonsense gimmicks and plastics and rather choose the One.

Hi! Yes go here... http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-cases/htc-one-cases,default,sc.html
By the way I ordered mine on e-bay. Making an order on the official site would cost me more with the shipping fee since they're using fedex too. So what I did was ordered from ebay instead and have it shipped through USPS.
I saved like 1.5k+ and yeah I wouldn't spend that much shipping fee just a for a protector case lol!. And yep Commuter and Defender is already available.
Here's the seller whom I purchased the otterbox case.

Wait for the developer edition if you're willing to purchase outside our country I heard it's already coming in a few weeks from US.
You can use this service to purchase the developer edition there since it requires a valid US shipping address.

i just checked clove.co.uk, it showing X1 in black is IN STOCK!
i preordered in silver, just emailed them if they can change color to black and ship my X1 today!
I got that e-mail too.. Really tempted after I cancelled my order
Anyone have FINAL confirmation of UMTS bands on the X1i?
850 3G on there????

This has already been asked over and over and over again. Look at some of the other threads where people got X1's already. For instance Sweden go the X1i earlier this month...
Any advantage with the black over the silver? Will the black have more of a chance to have paint chipping you think?
I almost bought one on eBay. In fact, I clicked to buy it now. They were selling $950 plus $10 shipping. They wouldn't ship the same day [ Friday ] and they won't ship overnight... they even had a 'make offer' option. Any way, I got the phone number and called him. He tells me he is a pilot and purchased a bunch in the UK [ I think he said that ] and said he paid $250 each .. Sounded like a crock - maybe I am wrong - but I have decided to wait for mine to ship. I think it will ship this coming Friday and the unit is silver. I decided on silver because I too didn't like the contrast of the keyboard against the black. Someone said it looked like 2 different phones stuck together .. I sort of agreed, and now I can't get that description out of my head .. BESIDES .. I am like a ferret .. I like shiny silver things !

It could be somewhat possible, I have friends working at airline companies and sometimes manage to get packages intercepted. I mean if he is a pilot he should be somewhat known. Also if there is a delivery going to whatever store via air parcel and it happened to get stolen and he is in on it he may get a cut for the shipment.
All I am saying there is a possibility, I have people who do it all the time.
phones can be signed through IMEI, not a big deal buy a stolen one

I ordered mine this morning from expansys and paid for it. Its en route via dhl
maybe I should do the same. I have a pre-order in with Dynamism --- I wanted the Silver one though.

Time to throw a wench into your thought process. I was one definitely stickin go the silver but after thinking of the silver and how it looks closed. I was like if it was all silver in front with the buttons silver and not black I would have passed up the black. Now with the black the black is all good and well when it is closed but when it opens up it shows the silver keyboard. Now with that said I tend to use my xperia ...
1. majority of times closed, which is why a 1 toned color on the phone face is great + majority of my gadgets and gears are already black
2. i dont expect to be walking around with my xperia to be open to show off the silver on silver x1i.
With that said ... majority ruled for me also since it was readily available for me to ship.

I could get lots free if I was a criminal and robbed the phone shop...
If I was you, I'd change my friends.
My point was, I seriously doubt you can get an Xperia (legally) anywhere for $250; theonlynickleft's post seems to confirm this.
If it seems to good to be true...
What is wrong with you guys?

Why do you guys like to buy stolen goods? Its is not right to do so. Imagine the poor guy who is waiting for his X1 to be shipped to later find out it has been stolen and bought buy one of you guys. Do not encourage such practices. If you cannot afford to buy or wait, don't buy it.
I never said I bought anything from them, I like many people here have paid for the xperia with hard earned money. Now, if someone were to talk up to me in the street or post an ad on craigslist saying he is selling an xperia for half price and wants to know if I buy more. If they are real I will not lie, chances are I would have bought it from him knowing there is a high chance there was some crookery involved. But I wouldnt ask how he got it, if they are legit he gets my money.

There is an expansys in the US and I tried to get it from there but they said they a long list to fulfill first. But they do overnight shipping ... but expansys UK have them in stock and do deliver to the us via DHL 2-3 day shipping (that is where I ordered mine from yesterday) and now its en route to the us. I should have mine by tomorrow or day after the latest. But it is up to you, I mean personally I wanted this phone more or less right away, and when I factored in the store that have it in the us plus waiting times I decided to order mine directly from the uk where i am guaranteed to get it friday latest
Trying to figure out the cost. I think it said 584 including VAT << what is VAT, shipping ?? And is that almost $1200 US ?

Don't envy us too much. To get this deal you usually have to camp out in the cold most of the night and wait in a huge line for tickets to be handed out (# tickets = # items in stock) and then hope you are close enough in line to get a ticket for the item you want. I used to work at Best Buy back when I was much younger and these "Black Friday" deal days were fricken insane. People dang near killing each other for a few bucks (and in some cases actually killing each other by trampling people to death, etc).
Personally I will probably never get a "door buster" deal because I value my time and health. Getting the flu and freezing my arse off for X hours in the cold just isn't worth it.
Price is right but I wouldn't bother if I'd be a meat popsickle AND they would be sold out by the time I got there, lol. I don't hit BestBuy with sales in mind so much as check the local stock before ordering somewhere online.

um, can you buy it now or within whatever the refund period is for best buy and then walk in on black friday and get a price adjustment or just return it and rebuy it?
250 bucks less than prime is awfully tempting but i'm still going to go with the prime.

Nope. Not unless they changed the rules. The price is only valid on the products in the store that are sold as this door buster promotion. (granted my knowledge comes from some 15 years ago)

I am always amazed at how much people sell and buy used stuff for, especially electronics. But really this is a pretty stellar sale and far from a normal price so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 300 for it.

Pfht no, you can easily sell it for $300. Most of the general population is not going to be able to get this thing for that price. They will have like 10 per store. This is not a "week long sale item."
$200 42" tv looks good.
But I agree with everyone else. I drove by a best buy a couple years ago on A MONDAY and there were already about 20 people camped out with tents and the whole deal. Yes a monday lol, so if 4 days is worth saving $150 then so be it. It os for some I guess but not for me.
Keyboard dock's going to be $99 as well.
The Transformer at Best Buy has a different model number made just for them to hit that $249 price point for black friday "TF101-X1". Its also a different sku than the regular 16GB model on their website. The regular model numbers are TF101-A1 "16GB" and TF101B1"32GB". There is no telling what they had Asus take out to hit that price, regular glass instead of Gorilla glass maybe who knows. And, they don't have to disclose that because in the instructions of just about every device it stipulates that features or functions are subject to change without prior notice. I'd be a little leery on this one.

I doubt there's actually any difference. It wouldn't make sense to produce a different model for this, especially when there's a new model coming out soon. What retailers sometimes do is have the model numbers for their Black Friday deals tweaked to make it hard to go elsewhere and price match, or to ask for a price match on prior purchases. It's *possible* there could be actual differences, but I would be surprised.
I just asked my dad who works at bestbuy n he said basically what the guy said above me. Now if u saw this at wally as a everyday low price then you know things would be changed or taken out.

I bought my TF101 in Germany while I was traveling around europe, I was shocked when I saw the price, it's really hefty overpriced if compared to USA.
I can't wait until the prime comes out so I can sell this lovely piece of machinery. My question is... I am moving to S. Korea in February should I wonder if it will be cheaper in taiwan, I could just take a day trip there!
I am currently in the market to buy an Android tablet, and of course, this deal caught my attention the second I saw it.
I'm just having two issues making my mind up whether I should buy it or not:
- As we all now, the Prime is coming out sometime in December. I'm just wondering if the TF101 will feel old/slow compared to the newer Tegra 3 devices. Basically, I feel like I'm jumping on ship and everyone else is moving on to the next thing while me and my TF101 are getting left behind.
- The no built in 3G data is a huge deal for me, I would like to have everything sync on it while I'm on the go plus use it to stream music/video while out. Tethering using my phone is an option, but I feel like it would be to much of a drain to constantly be using it. I guess I could use a 3G USB stick, as that seems as the only other solution, do I need the dock to use the 3G stick?
Anyways, also curious to hear other people's opinions who are interested in this great deal.

i'm in the same boat you are. but this price is too good to pass up $250 + $99 for the dock. i'm going to try to just get the TF1 from best buy (unless its all sold out (which is very likely)) then resell the tablet for $325 - $350 and the dock for $50 - $75 and then use that $ to get the transformer prime.

yup, they are just clearing stock before prices drop further, the deal i posted was not limited to 10-20 units though..
it was '5 sold' when I posted the link, '9 sold' by the time I made the purchase... and now it says '100 sold'

It's a penta-band HSPA+ phone, so it should work on T-Mo (and most HSPA network around the world). T-Mo doesn't really have a true 4G network; in their marketing terms, HSPA+ = 4G.

3.5G rounds up.
I'll confirm HSPA+ works. Speed Test was 10Mbps+. Checked out a co-workers.
Anyone know what build they are sending out?

HTC One X was a reason, thus it dropped from ~500+
Next reason is SGS III
which may not be around the market for another 2months..
But then one may want SGS III...
you can wait 2months and then decide... or compromise $30-50 price difference now and enjoy this nexus for next two months
On a different topic,
my recent device history is:
Vibrant -> Atrix -> SGS II -> Nexus S
I had SGS II and Nexus S simultaneously and I kept Nexus for its stability and curved display(feels much better than flat one). It is as snappy as sgsII and only part where I have to wait for the phone to process is when it is processing panaroma.
I really do not require an upgrade but still i'm going for gnexus as im excited to try what google has on platter with this one.
Considering I kept SGS based Nexus S over SGSII, it is highly likely that I will still stick to Gnexus despite of sgsIII launch.

This is the price trend of the G Nexus, which is the worst I've seen on a nexus phone, yeah buy one, by the time the GS3 and iphone 5 are out this phone will not worth crap. I'd give this one a $300 price range in 2 months.

wow thats a huge dip in a short time, really never seen that for a phone. is the gnex that bad? i highly doubt it, but wow.
you can buy them locally for $350-$400 too, I dont find this as the best deal in the world, but its still pretty good.

This is the best online deal I have come across so far.
As far xda market trend, hardly anyone is willing to sell one below 450-480 despite of this deal being in place (an many other deals below 450 for quite a long)
PS: Members will be grateful if someone can purchase them locally for ~350 and sale on xda at that price; unfortunately nothing of that sort has happened yet..

Aaron unboxes the Nokia Lumia 810,
http://youtu.be/ul6_3Nm56XQ
Featuring
- 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU
- 4.3-inch OLED WVGA display with ClearBlack technology,
- 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording,
- 1,800 mAh battery, and
- 4G (HSPA+ 42 Mbps), the Lumia 810 is a nice addition to T-Mobile's holiday lineup. The specifications are decent and given the $99 starting price point, the price is right.
I played with one in a T-Mobile store today thanks to a cool rep. I love it! It is lighter than it looks and the screen is pretty good. It is on my short list.

I'm a T-Mobile retail rep and got picked to carry the device for 90 days as my primary.
I'm really digging it runs smooth great camera free music and navigation from Nokia. Oh and best touch keyboard out there.
Now I'm just using my one s for games.

Shame that it's priced so high compared to the 920/820 on AT&T. If I was on TMO I'd feel a little screwed.
Just got mine yesterday and love it so far. Upgraded from an HD2. $50 dollar mail-in rebate already in the mail.

Just upgraded from my HD2 today. At first I was leaning towards the 8x, but compared side by side the pure black screen is superior IMO. I love how you can't see a line between the screen and phone body. Its like the tiles are just floating there ?

I got this phone for my wife Friday & I can't put it down. I have a gs1 running jb. But I think I'm switching. Hopefully tmo has a 920 variant by the time my contract is up. Wp8 is so silky smooth. It blows everything away in my opinion.

It's Free for new customers today with a Classic plan. I'm a current T-Mo customer and was able to get three of them for free today via a call to their Loyalty department. I just said it was pretty silly that they'd offer a free phone to try and get a new customer but they'd let a longstanding current customer walk away because they wouldn't offer them the same deal. 30 seconds of "checking with her manager" and I got them free after a credit. I then tacked on a fourth line for my father-in-law via a T-Mo rep I met on slickdeals . net (he got me the phone for free AND gave me a $100 credit as well).

Is there any reason to think it wouldn't accept a 128GB card? I mean, the technology is identical between the 64 and 128 right? That said, I don't think 128GB cards are due out for at least 6-8 months, if not later.

upgraded from my HD2 (7.8 rom) to the 810 on the 14th. Nice quality phone. Runs fast and smooth.
Has anyone been successful finding any accessories for the 810? Nokia's own site only lists seven. I know this phone is new, but I was able to find plenty of accessories for my HD7 within a week of it's release.

The system might not be able to map more than 52GB of space (64+8). It depends on how the CPU is built. I bolded the "might" as I am not entirely sure this is the case.

Screen protectors and decal stickers on amazon so far. There are one or two specific hip cases, but otherwise the generic stuff. T-Mobile has a dew things but they're overpriced, of course. The 810 accessories wise is interesting so far...the 822 definitely has the full compliment of accessories available already...

Hi Xiaomi Lovers
I am not sure this is a good idea to start a thread like this, (If this is breaking any XDA rules, I will take down this thread right away) I have a friend visiting me (UK/London) this week and I have already requested him to bring me a Xiaomi Mix 6GB version.
I thought maybe some of you would want to tag along, it shouldn't be a problem for him to buy more as phone shops in China seem to stock them well for selling at higher price . Of course, if you are looking to buy this phone at the original official price, then this is not for you. I too am paying a premium on top in order to get my hand on one at this stage.
Now, i should be able to get you a Mix 6GB version at £700 (pretty sure it's cheapest you can find), i assume most of you are going for the 6gb version if you are interested in 4gb, let me know.
I will have the phone in hand this week so no waiting for china to ship....etc. And I understand you may think this is a scam, check my XDA history, and I welcome people to purchase in cash and ideally we can do this in person, so you see the phone in box and so on.
If you have other suggestions, let me know, but please keep in mind, I am just doing it as a service for the lovely XDA community, if it's not safe for me, i would not do it, so I will be checking your XDA history and making sure you are 100% serious getting the phone.
I can also post it to other country and the risk of getting the custom charge is yours, hence this thread is maybe only useful for UK buyers.
Let me know what you think
Update: Consider this thread closed. My friend has already picked up the order and will be leaving China to UK this Friday. 9/12. He got me a pretty good price too so I am happy at least xD
Thanks for the proposal of service, but for your information it is sold at 630£ online (6gb/256 version), including shipping

those are exactly the 2 websites i tried to order mine, but they refuse to ship my order saying they are waiting for more stocks and if I want it right away, i need to pay premium. This was however about a week ago so maybe things are different now.
Anyway, if you can indeed get it from website, just ignore my post. I wasn't sure it's going to be useful or not when I posted it.

Thanks for reply.
Where do they ship from?
I leave in Europe and do not want to pay for TAX etc. How did u do?
Last time I ordered a phone from there I didn't pay any tax, can't be guaranteed you won't pay tax just luck.
That depends the country.
Iff you are in Portugal you can buy it with SF-Express method and pay extra 9.90 € and no aduane .. Chronopost will do the delivery to Portugal, from France or Deutch .
Just need to enter in Portuguese language on the website and you find that way.
Sorry for bad english guys
I ordered mine from Light in the Box; it was $799.00 - $40.00 coupon code. Looks like that price went up by a ridiculous amount, but I think it does fluctuate even there. Might be worth watching. Took about three days to ship it out, another five to arrive, and another five to get through customs. Total of around two weeks altogether. They were very responsive whenever I asked for status updates (in my excitement, I asked 4 or 5 times, and they always answered within a few hours.)

Going with the Portuguese version of Chinadroid it states that there is minimal chance of customs charges when using SF Express. I've contacted them to find out what this means, I really don't fancy adding €150 onto the price of the phone.
I noticed that some people are selling this device for reasonable prices now. Check out the Xiaomi Mi Mix 256 GB on eBay for $495 US
Beware of eBay scams - got a refund from PayPal due to non shipment.

I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro SE from this site not too long ago.
Overall,a good experience,but,if you have the option of upgrading to a faster shipping method, I recommend doing so.
Otherwise, expect to wait 2-3 weeks for final delivery.
