May I ask you what happened? How you broke it?
It came in like this. A lot of similar issues like that in HK.
Please note that in HK, we order directly from xiaomi and they mail that crap directly to us.
What's wrong ? You don't like Xiaomi's 'margin' feature? It tells you when you should do a <CR>
I bought 3 pcs redmi note prime, two from China and one from Singapore and all working great.

Hi
I live in Malta (Europe), and need a good dual sim active phone.
The only option there seems to be is buying the samsung galaxy s4 dual sim from this seller etotalk.
I would like to query whether anyone has bought this phone from this seller and their experience.
Thanks
Ken

HI thanks for the info
Yet you use it in europe - and did you buy it with a custom rom pre-installed?
Ken
Got one from Etotalk.com; very happy with it and all is genuine!

Me too. Had it rooted and have their custom rom installed. Have some minor issues with the rom but nothing serious.

A week or so ago I also bought a GT-I9502 from etotalk and got a very good impression of them considering the natural obstacles of sending stuff from China, customs, paying with Paypal etc. Got the phone just after a few days, sent by DHL.
You can ask them to send it as a "gift", declaring a lower than actual value of your choice, which might make things slip through customs easier/cheaper/less VAT slapped on.
Bought it in stock version and rooted/ROMed it myself, using this procedure and with SVA's excellent ROM that you buy for a few $.
In certain (most?) countries the GT-I9502 doesn't show CallerID properly as the phone's software platform is made for China, but I've done a patch for that, see this post.

Dont think anyone has a clue yet. In Oman, trying to get some bloody info from whatever source I can. The local vendors have no clue either. Is the S800 (n9005) version available in Dubai? (market or online)
Samsung have done a 'Nexus 4 launch style cluster****' on this one.
Does truly nobody know that Samsung has been putting Region Locks in their firmware for months? I assumed it was fairly common knowledge.
i just played with note 3 in Jumbo Electronics, i couldn't see anything written on box like European version.

No - my Note 2 has no region locks and judging by the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457964 this is news to most people.

The people on SamMobile know about it. The S4 has it too. It's nothing new. No, your note 2 doesn't have it, yet. Because it hasn't been updated.

Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.
Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana
Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.

I want to upgrade from RedMi 1S to RedMi 3s Prime, but I don't have the patience or the strength to buy it from Flipkart thanks to the flash deals(RedMi 1s experience was enough). So I am considering getting one from Aliexpress.I know the I'll be paying more but I am OK with it.
Is it a good idea?, how long does it take to get delivered?
Why don't you try gearbest?

I bought a redmi 3s prime from aliexpress but was from China ( I'm in UK ) . Reason being was that the seller stocked the international version which has band 20 which is needed for some UK networks. Also, the rom was official global version and updated ota without problem. Beware some sellers who will put an unofficial rom on the phone which can't be updated unless you flash the right rom ( can be a tricky process ) . These ' vendor ' roms can also contain malware which can push loads of ads.

Is it better than Aliexpress? I don't know much about both of them. This will be my first experience buying a phone from a site like that.

No problems at all, sealed in box. The seller was called Xiaomi authorized dealer, not sure if it's true that they're Xiaomi authorized or not, but all OK and delivery was less than 2 weeks which ain't bad for standard free shipping from China.
