Sheesh, you got that site watcher app set to check every 5 minutes or what?

^^^^ Agreed. $400 plus shipping is the MOST I would pay for it IF it was in mint condition with not a single scratch on it i.e would pass for new with original box and accessories. Anything more than that would be highway robbery.

The most you would pay for a mint-would pass for new phone is $400?
lol
You must have been one of the people who are trying the ETF trick with google!
I kid, I kid.

I'm willing to let mine go for 400! No scratches on the screen, a few nicks on the case though. Never had the dust under the screen problem. I could even be talked down lower if persuaded, I just really want 3G!

see I don't care to much if I have 3g but I want it, and I could still get $500 with shipping on ebay. eh what eva

I bought my phone from Google back in January and there is dust under the screen. I am pretty sure I can get the phone exchanged under warranty. But my question is, will HTC Canada let me exchange it for the one with the 850 band?

Warranty it and then sell it...
Brand New Google Nexus One SIM Unlocked (not tied to any carrier).
Seems obvious, yeah...but you have no idea how many people don't know that they all come this way. People want convenience.
You can even put in the description...
"if you want, I can unlock the bootloader and root the device prior to shipping"
I sold a friend's G1 on ebay "unlocked and rooted" for almost 600 dollars.

That's a good idea. Well it's not like I am trying to scam Google. There are really 4 specks of dust under the screen and I am pretty sure there are more coming. It will just be more convenient if they just send me a replacement with the 850 band. Is there a support number in Canada that I can call? I actually bought the phone in Hong Kong during my visit there in January. I can get HTC ship it to Canada now since it's officially sold in Canada, right?

If anyone is feeling a little desperate, I will buy your T-Mobile version right now for $300 shipped. I know it's low but the upside is that you'll get the money asap and have a AT&T Nexus One in hand by the end of this week if you're quick about it.

I don't think it's being shipped from Canada. I'm pretty sure it's being shipped in from the states, otherwise they wouldn't use DHL International shipping.

Just ordered mine! Looks like the wife gets my old ancient N1 tomorrow.

Well my Tilt 2 will go on ebay to make up for the 529 + Tax that I just shelled out to get the ATT 3G version that went live today.
Can't wait to play around with it when it gets here.
PS: overnight shipping is thrown in for free from the google site.

So instead of repairing it, I can ask for an exchange even though it's been almost 2 months since I got the phone?

UK availability

I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?

I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?

are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...

King of Gadgets is now showing a due date of July rather than week beginning 28th March. Oh well...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets

Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested

I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.

Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

Monkey see, monkey do.

What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.

Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.

[Q] Cheapest Place for Galaxy s2 in the US?

title says it all...since the galaxy s2 isnt available by any carrier yet...where is the cheapest place to get it? Ive only seen it on expansys...any others?

Prices seem to be slowly but steadily decreasing, here are probably the best places to keep an eye on.
Amazon, Google Shopping, and eBay. I would post links, but I don't have enough posts yet. You can find direct links at pastebin.com / mLf88e7L (without spaces ).

Amazon has them for like $689 right now + Prime

Try unlocked mobiles its the chepeast I found
Then Amazon then handtec then expansys

Thanks for posting as well; I'm thinking about getting one; I'm hoping to stay under 700.

get a sd card if u dont have one ( for backups etc - CWM )

I just bought mine from an Amazon seller (Warehouse Distributors). It was $684 with free shipping.
It just shipped, so I'll update you guys. I am a bit worried that they will screw me somehow (seem small, don't have their own domain for email or website), but calling them got to a live person, and seem friendly enough. In fact, they were able to pricematch when their price dropped a day later by $14 (was $698 when I ordered).
I hope it's not an open box or a box of rocks. Actually, if it was a box of rocks, it'd be suspicious even without opening since the phone is super light!
Either way, I'll update you guys on how it went. I'm expecting the phone by the end of this week.

i placed my order @ mobilecityonline.com last week. it was $699 + $4.99 shipping - $20 online coupon = $684.99 shipped. however, its price has risen since then, so apparently it was temporarily on sale. basically, just keep looking around bc its always changing on different sites, and look out for coupons.

I was hesitant about buying from most of the import sites in the US but surprisingly mobilecityonline has far less negative reviews than other sites dealing the sgs2 such as popularelectronics.com or negri. I received it just like they promised via fedex no issues. They even called me and emailed me to confirm my purchase and stressed that i have 14 days to return it.
The only gripe is that they listed it as the UK version but when i got it, it said Samsung Romania on the label and included non-english manuals. Also, the US power adapter that came in the box isn't working for me. No biggie tho bc everything else checked out. Used it for 2 days now and so far im satisfied.

I didn't even think of them putting another country's phone in there. I would be expecting the UK version.

I would expect a US power adapter included with an international phone. Any others wanna chime in?
And the box was factory sealed.

Why suck my grits. After I took a risk and bought it from an Amazon seller, I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176292
It doesn't get any better than $689.99 + $5.99 shipping from none other than NEWEGG.
A trusted place with excellent customer service. Can't go wrong with NewEgg. At least it will benefit the people who waited.
Now... say thank you!

nfc included?
I wonder, does the newEgg version comes with NFC?
Also, been that it is been bought from an U.S. seller, can I get warranty from squaretrade for this phone? I know can i can buy it in the u.k. and get squaretrade in the u.k., but i dont want to have to send it to squaretrade u.k., I prefer the u.s. squaretrade.

Finally got it yesterday. Was in a unpadded box. But turned out okay for the most part.
Had a US power supply. Looks like a Latin America model (primary language on the box was Spanish, and so was the manual).
I found 5 green pixels when viewing a dark gray background.

ordered mine last week from amazon for 689 with FREE prim 2 day shipping. I payed the extra 3.99 for one day shipping. I had no issues with the shipping process, everything went smooth. One important thing i will add though is that when i recieved my phone the battery was completely dead, i had to keep the phone on the charger for about an hour and a half before i could turn it on. Eventually i put the phone in download mode and then pressed the down volume rocker which restarts the phone. My version was in polish, so it took a few moments to find the language setting and switch it to english. I found the whole preces pretty cosmical and my friends think im crazy for purchasing an unlocked european phone. But then again they all have Blackberrys so there opinion is moot lol. Im loving my phone right now and dont remember the last time i was this satisfied from an expensive purchase.
edit... i just read that some people had some worries about the shipping condition. my phone was shipped in two boxes. the first was the standard shipping box. then it was in a bigger cell phone style box. similar to what you would get from a carrier. this box was a little beat up, but thankfully the official samsung box was inside in great condition and still sealed. so for who ever was wondering, my us dongle was in the second box not the official samsung box where the actual phone, earphones, sync cable, and euro charger was in.

Handtec is offering £404.98 (shipping included) for North American buyers. That's only 570 Cdn.... It's suprisingly lower than the pricetag on amazon or other non-Euro sites. The price's been decreasing, too. Anyone know why the price has been decreasing steadily (as mentioned in the previous thread)? Is it because of the upcoming iPhone 5 or because of market saturation in Europe? I might order one after Canadian carriers confirm their models. I refuse to buy a SGSII with the LCD variant

Verizon to open their preorder 28th and they DO have leather & cheaper than BB

According to this Verizon will open prereg order direct tomorrow.
So as many of us know, Best Buy did not show the leather as being available only white, blue, grey. And they want $609 versus $550 direct from Verizon.
So, I might now bail on the Best Buy one I PO'd and order the leather one direct and forgo the $100 best buy gift card since I would have to buy the leather and since the VZW one is $59 cheaper + not having to buy a leather back, now the Verizon direct might be a better deal since I DO want leather.
BB = $609 + tax = 658.79 - $100 gift card = 558.79 + have to buy a leather back (60-80$ so say $60) = $618.79
Verizon = $550 + get leather (and maybe the plastic back I hope as some in the UK get a plastic when they buy the leather so 2 backs in 1 buy) - having to buy a leather back + less tax $44 = $593.98
OR.. maybe get BB to match the $550 price and then you are back to being ahead if you have to buy the leather back but I just called, and they say they do not price match... oh well. Tomorrow I decide if I keep the BB po or order the VZW direct.
ps - And these preorders will begin shipping before its in stores on Thursday, June 4 (which is when BB has earliest pickup).

I'm in the same boat... Lol... Finally pulled the trigger and pre-ordered from BB. But that leather is probably going to make me cancel too.... Choices.... Choices... Lol

Good for you for finding that. I looked at the time I posted on their site & that was not posted. I figured tonight @ 9pm I'd check as that would be the 28th on the east coast.
No matter who I order with - likely Verizon given my logic above - I'm all over the "freebies".

you can actually add the gray and white to cart on verizon. i was thinking about picking up a leather one. i also noticed tmobile leather and regular is same price as well

Ordered a black leather G4! With free 2-day shipping it should arrive 6/3 or 6/4.

I just did the same thing.
So now i have a BB preorder and a Verizon preorder 1 will get cancelled since the Verizon is set to ship 6/1 so maybe 6/3 or 6/4 delivery then I fully expect to cancel the BB preorder - the day I get the VZW phone - because as per above, the direct Verizon is a better deal IF you want leather - and I want leather.

Just cancelled my BB order. Getting the leather from verizon. Just a heads up... I had to call best buy to cancel... Online would not let me.

Or you can live in a state like me with no sales tax and still win leather back is useless unless you're planning on not having a case (which is just stupid).

Yes, it is the "black" one. And yes, they do not make it entirely clear and obvious, especially when on a mobile device.

Some might be able to find out today what we get in the box - and how the phone seems - since Verizon claims "select stores" will have them in shop to see as of today. My local shop did not.

Lollipop has barely been adopted and pushed out to phones - atiny laughable 1.6% of Android OS usage - and now they are on to something else. This is part of the fragmentation downside of the Android OS. Most are still on KK and JB. Some might even end up skipping Lollipop usage actually. And even if this phone can support M - which I bet it can - that could be a year away (or more) based on M offical release and then, the provider prepping it for the phone and then pushing it. M? I couldn't care less about M right now.

I am waiting for Newegg to list the silver version so that I can preorder.

Also available for preorder on ZTE USA's site directly, and the first 500 get a free folio case!: https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7
Also available via ZTE USA's Ebay storefront, where it looks like you can get it even earlier, July 18th: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZTE-Axon-7-Unlocked-Smartphone-4GB-64GB-Ion-Gold-/252459025536

Freakin' awesome. About time. I have to go through BestBuy because I have a healthy amount of credit with them and after paying for a wedding and honeymoon I'm broke.
Edit : That sucks. BestBuy has it listed as coming 8/17.
Edit 2 : BestBuy also lists it as no Bluetooth connectivity. That has to be incorrect, right?

Silver is listed as 8/17 on ZTE's website. I pre-ordered it - I'm cool with waiting for a color that isn't gold.

they wrote unlocked it means that the bootloader is unlocked?

Of course not. It means you can use it with any carrier.

Ok, we hope that there will be the possibility of the unlock bootloader?

I have to admit was losing interest in this device. Now that there is a release date and a better than expected price point I'm beginning to regain some interest though I already have the LG G5 and Nexus 6P.
If there are no major flaws and it performs like the specs suggest, this will be a killer device at $400.

Meh gold only... Epic fail.

Quartz Silver available at Best Buy and ZTE USA's site.

Looks like ZTE is pulling an HTC, with the gold version releasing at least two weeks before the silver/grey.
I don't know why they did this. Agitates me.

In the webinar they had today, they plainly stated it was due to shortages in manufacturing.

Yea. I am going on vacation in the middle of August so I was force to get gold. Oh well, maybe it will help with resale value down the line.

That's what agitates me. The darker colors (black/grey) are usually the more popular options in the US so you'd think they'd opt to ramp up production on those instead of the gold.

Gray is up now.

Ordered the quartz gray. Might be able to get rid of the bonus headphones for $50. $350 for the A7 wouldn't be too bad.
Anyone know if Newegg will contact me before it actually ships? There's a month between now and when it's scheduled to ships, so who knows what might happens between now and then.

USA Model Listed as 4 GB, 64 GB storage and 3250 mh battery.

I'm guessing the $400 price tag over $450 is because we get no headphones, screen protector, and case in the box.
I'd of paid the extra $50 for those. I hate that all the international devices get extras and US doesn't.

No, you get those in the box, they said it in the "webinar".

Wow, really? That's freakin' awesome. Definitely glad I pre-ordered. We usually get skimped there.
