I just had a good experience with expansys (well, to-date at least). Ordered contract+phone today, got it shipped same day - may arrive tomorrow if luck favours me.
Petrov.
direct from Orange, via Retentions.
Called Friday afternoon (around 3ish), phone was here following Tuesday
Not the cheapest deal - but then it is actually sitting here right now
Bought
I bought mine from Clove UK for cheapest on the web and had it shipped to the US in 3 days.
I am in Hong Kong and would like to buy to buy HD too...
But don't know where has best price and can ship to Hong Kong........
Anyone can tell me please?
Thanks!
Kayzee,
You can use Expansys in UK or Clove UK....but no test first ..because it sealed..
You can also buy here in HK, but it's HKD 6,500 with only shop warranty..but you can test first..
It is some shop in Mongkok... let me know if youre interested...? PM me..
anyone know if buymobilephones.net is any good. they have some good deals on there

Mate, did you have to pay any GST or Duty ?
Looking to get one soon. Do you know if HTC Australia will accept any warranty claims ?
Cheers.
If you don't mind the customer services issues and think purely on the tangible bottom line - then you should go for mobiles.co.uk I say.
Got mine from mobiles.co.uk - arrived with no real problems.
Customer Services are very hit and miss but as I now have my phone I can go to my local Carphone Warehouse shop should it need the attention of the repairs department.
Thanks for all your replies; and so quickly...........great forum.
Have a great day guys.
i bought mine from clove uk
and it arrive to saudi arabia after 3 business days
Hey people,
An uncle is coming down from US to India (my current country) and I plan to buy the Omnia 7.
Should I ask him to buy one for me...but again, will I have to unlock it???
Does it come carrier specific like the iPhone?
Do I have to "Unlock" it?
Or should I just ask him to get the phone and pop in my SIM card from India?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the Omnia 7 isn't sold in the US. They have the Focus instead.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, it's not sold in the US or Canada. But he can order one from ExpanSys (who gets them from Europe).
I picked a few up from Canada before I headed to Saudi Arabia. Work like a charm. Just gotta remember there's tax, warranty, customs, shipping. Not much profit made for reselling them Manuals also came in french, but that's not a big deal if you know how to use these things.

Anywyas what about Dubai? The main Proper City???Even on the website, nothing clearly is mentioned...when where etc??
But thanx! And do let me know about Dubai...
Hello...
As Peew971 said: Omnia 7 isn't sold in USA by default, and ExpanSys actually have a very high prices, I got mine from Australia, factory unlocked and shipped to Libya (cost me about 840$ at that time, with Screen Protector + Case + Shipping Insurance), I've checked the website now (becextech.com.au) and it is priced at 699 AUD$ (= 687 US$) without shipping costs.
I hope I've helped you...

Hey ahmadmr,
Thanx for your reply...I am not very confident of ordering a phone from somewhere else..especially from another country..there is a similar website here in India..I contacted them and they asked me to wait for a couple of days..so lets see, but thanx again..if it is available in the Middle East (Dubai) I can ask a friend to get it too...
t mobile germany is probably your best bet. ive seen a number of posts saying the phone is unlocked & i think its the 16Gb version too.

hi guys,
does anyone have any ideas when the note will be released in Australia? can't wait to upgrade my Streak for it. always loved Samsung phones for their Amoled screens.
if they're not in Australia any soon, might look for one on eBay
thanks guys
If you're planning to buy it off-contract anyway, MobiCity are selling them already.
Note will be released in AU early next year.
EBay is pretty expensive now. Why not try expansys which had the lowest price now for €455 plus delivery (about AU$ 750). It's really good time to buy while AU dollar is high.

hi,
just wondering where you got the 455 Euro from on the website?
because they are all around € 619,99 on the site
thanks
We don't pay VAT, dude. You can remove that from the price.
i see.....lol...
If I buy it from a European Country other than UK....will it have English Language on it and will it work properly in Australia? What about also the abilities for system updates?
Thanks again....

If you buy a EU version, then you will still have the ability to select English as your language on the initial setup screen. Android support multiple languages.
You also can apply updates as all EU zone use the same thing.

Hi mate, it's from a German site which doesn't ship to Australia (I tried). The current cheapest one I find is expansys.com which is 480 ponds including postage (AUD730 based on last night exchange rate. AUD is worth less today after the interest cut).

I pre-ordered from them on 12th Oct which price is 4 ponds less than the current one. But, my order still hasn't been processed yet. I called them yesterday and they told me should be post yesterday but they didn't.
For the EU verion ordered from expansys, you can remove the UK convertor from your order detail screen which save you 0.99 ponds. And choose DHL instead FedEx for delivery.
OK, so where can I get one of these - I live in the UK

Not on amazon UK yet, or play.com or curry or comet.

Why not buy an import version, it seems thats the way to go

Got mine from Ebay Ecell £380, they got it to me with-in 2 days even though they say 6-10 days.
I think it is the HK version, However it started up in english and I have no trouble on the Android market etc.
This is a very good Tab.

I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable. Got mine there, paid by Paypal and then I got tracking information soon. Ordered it on 06/01 and it was in London 11/01. They pay all duty and import taxes for you.

panamoz.com defenitely very good service. Ordered mine on 18/01 got here (Dublin, Ireland) 1 hour ago (20/01).
Payed through paypal. They also have both wifi only and 3g versions available.
i ordered mine from Ebay Ecell.
been 4 days now
waiting for them to ship it!
they say they wait for money to clear on their bank account, but i suspect they are just getting it somewhere else in the world and shipping them

Hey guys - United States person looking to import here - the English that is on it, is it UK version or NA version (or is selectable between both?)
It might be a stupid question but I'd love to import it instead of waiting for Verizon to get it in a years time...
Hi - Do you still have he SGT 7.7 for sale?
If so is it the 3G version? How much is it and where are you based.
Regards
PhilipF

Anyone knows whats the difference in hk and europe version ? Really want to buy this tablet but not sure if it the same as euro... Would I be able to flash europe roms? Thanks in advance

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

mine too - was skeptical but arrived on 3rd day
Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?
Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

Are there more versions than the wifi and wifi+3g then?
I really had no idea about that...
Almost a deal breaker for me, I was hoping to use the 7.7 as a remote as well :-(
Hi anyone heard anything regarding demo to see in hand in london ?
just saw both S8 in 3 UK so they should be available everywhere.
funny they dont have yet G6
Seen the S8+ Black in both EE and O2 in the City. Nice phone and reminds me of my Note 7. Not in a huge rush since we got brushed off this time around. Pretty poor that we get nothing and the US get the VR....

Pretty useless if you already have cover elsewhere like I do with my contents insurance. Would much rather have the VR. I have never lost nor broken a phone...ever. It would be nice to have the option to choose at least. We pay more in the UK and get less, not the best sales tactic.
Edit- Thanks for the info though. Appreciated.
yeah I will want VR more but this year again USA will get free VR.
