Hi everyone,
I live in Turkey (where we won't be able to buy N9005 because N9000 will be sold offically).
And I'll be at Spain during third week of October (16-20).
So I decided to buy N9005 from Spain.
What is the expected price for Madrid/Barcelona?
What is the best Technology Shop in Madrid/Barcelona?
Can I buy N9005, Tax Free from these cities?
Can any of a Spanish friend guide me ?
It would be very much appretiated.:highfive:
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Hi!
Well, as a quick answer, I could recommend https://www.phonehouse.es/ ... They are launching it tomorrow for 749€ with free S-Flip cover, and also 350€ discount if you trade in your Note 2.
You also have other shops like MediaMarkt.
The Tax free (here we have 21% VAT), you should ask in the store and you should be able to recover it when you go back to your home country.
I think you will have to contact the TaxFree office there and claim the money back, but I am speaking out of sketchy memory.
Well, found this site that explains it quite well, enjoy ,)

I think this should cover all your questions, and happy holidays in Barcelona
Thank you very munch. I'll read the sources asap

hey guys yesterday i have lost my brand new less than 1 day old Sony Xperia Z1 . Looking for a new one a guy offered me galaxy s4 for 250$ which is good deal.

And it has samsung india warranty so it is not some cheap chinese clones.
It's original one manufactured By Sammy.

I wouldn't go for it. Might be a knockoff or stolen. Too good to be true.

When it's too good to be true, it's not. Might be perfect, but can be stolen.
get your conscience free and spend a bit more, or go for nice alternatives like the Moto G
If you look on youtube, there's quite a convincing knock off. It maybe one of those (especially coming from india)

Hi.
My touchscreen is broken, so I have to replace it.
I am looking for a genuine part to buy through ebay or similar. I have seen a lot of sellers claiming to sell a genuine part, but since I heard about many cases of the so-called "genuine" screen that turn out to be a good quality fake, I am looking for feedback from people who have bought a screen and received a good item.
My only limitation is that I need to buy from a seller who can ship internationally - I am from Israel.
Thanks a lot.
http://www.spareslg.com/ They seem to sell the real thing, but they're more pricey. Never actually used them, but they claim to sell genuine service packs.
Omg nice prices, i waiting order from aliexpress completly LCD and digitizer and frame 48$

Buy from LG....only way to be sure.
I just heard about Elephone, and since their website takes you to all these off the wall places to buy their phones, is this a company you would recommend buying a phone from? I always am a bit suspicious about these off the wall brands and stores. I am particularly interested in the P7000 but there is no topic for the P7000 (another red flag), but the P6000 and P4000 are also enticing.

go for P6000 or P7000.
you can visit their forum also, they have active developers and custom rom support also. :good:
My wife has an P6000 now for some weeks and she really likes it.
It replaces her Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus.
Screen is nice, battery is good, speed is good, Lollipop has since been released.
The only downside is the mediocre camera. It's okay for taking "party pictures" or just some pics to share, but can't compare to a good camera.
But for the price of $130, I would definetly recommend it.

I saw it also in a review by AA that the "kinda" downside of this device is the camera, hope it will gets better on a OTA update.

Don't think the camera can be improved any further just by the software.
The build-in camera can only do 8MP, the 13MP as advertised is only interpolated. And the used CMOS isn't a Sony as advertised, but a somewhat cheaper one..
Same problem with most china phone, camera is often only mediocre. But if you aren't too heavy into photography, it shouldn't hold you back from buying a china phone

Will the Elephone p7000 work with USA 4G/LTE? I've read several of these Chinese phones I have been looking at have poor wifi range. Does Elephone typically have that problem? I ask because where my office is at work isn't that close to the wireless router, I only get about 50% signal strength.

Wait! Audio output too is a major downside. Never got such a ****ty one.. Unless I got defective unit? Doesn't seem so tough..
I've been using this phone for 3 days. It's fast, battery is OK ish, screen is good, audio wise it's OK, lacks compass and gyroscope, camera isn't so good, pictures come out kinda fuzzy. My ex-phone is a Jiayu G3T, so that is what I'm comparing it to. Cost me about 120euro.

Sorry but this only partially true.
Elephone is only a manufacturer and does only B2B.
The information flow of Elephone is rather bad. They still have on their webpage under new products the P7000 announced as available from May. However the P7000 was only partially delivered to pre-orders and a lot of people who paid for the phone are still waiting for it. Apparently the next round of deliveries for the P7000 to shops is announced for the 25th of June.
The other new Elephone models G9, P4000 and S2/S2plus announced for June are still only to pre-order in shops.
[*]The shops where you can buy the products are not truthful about the Elephone products they have in stock. In my experience you have to ask them if the have the have the product in stock in their warehouse ready for shipping.
I did cancel my order for the P7000 in gold with To2C and had to fight to get a full refund.
I placed my order with them at the 21/05/ and got a confirmation of them that they will ship it from the 25th. On the 25th To2C said we'll ship Wednesday or Thursday, on the 28th Friday because they have do put them through their QC. On the 30th they admitted that they do not fulfil the order, it will be shipped out of direct from the Elephone factory to customers and that they cannot send via PostNL. I then asked them what MT6752 3GB phone they have in their own warehouse in stock ready to be send out. They offered the Ecoo E04 (which I looked up as alternative already; it is build by Elephone and out on the market). Next Monday 01/06/ they said again sorry they do not have it in stock, it wilol be send by Elephone. At this point I cancelled my order with them and wanted to be refunded. To2C send me an email showing that they put the paypal fee to me. At that point I did open a dispute with paypal, contacted paypal and raised the dispute to a claim for a full refund, which was done with in the next hours.
I did order then the Ecoo E04 at Aliexpress and it has cleared customs late last Friday. But be aware there are a lot of shop on Aliexpress who are not to be trusted. Eg. they put up pictures of a product alleged to be in stock and you find the same picture for it in an other shop with only the paper been photoshoped. There are even some shops which sell with DHL or FedEx shipping via an extra stop VAT/Duty free.
They develop only their own stock and custom ROMs.
Elephone did not release the kernel source code for one of their android models, at least not on their forum under Developers Discussion› Android kernel.
There are some customers not happy with the support they get of Elephone.
They announced only the release of the kernel source code for their new MT 6753 based P8000 (slower cpu and Mali T720). The P8000 is announced for July, but well see my comment above
I posted a request in their forum thread to release the P8000 source code to release all their android kernel source codes.
Please support my post to push Elephone to release the kernel source codes: hxxp://bbs.elephone.hk/archiver/tid-5448.html
I as well ordered a P7000 in gold at to2c.com during pre-sale on May 12th and I finally got it delivered to my place in the EU on June 16th, which is absolutely okay.
I also had problems getting the phone in stock with t2oc, it does get shipped direct and I complained to them about the in stock claim, they then gave a tracking reference which still said registered but not dispatched... That said I good the mains adaptor from t2oc within 2 weeks and the phone from elephone within 3 weeks, my old spare HTC sensation has been passed on to my father and my HTC one is now my spare. I'm happy with the p7000 so far, I'm not a developer but its a new toy and only £150, I've ordered another for a friend through coolicool and getting the same stock issues

I just did. They are so slow in releasing new ROM. I bet they don't even develop their own ROM. You know why? Coz either JiaYu or some other manufacturer has exact releases as Elephone!

yeah... they drop all support for ROMs after about 6m since release.
they also delete forum posts that ask why the ROMs are no longer supported.
crappy company... cheap though

*Facepalm*
Looks like they deleted the G2 section :/
I do reccomend to buy one. It's cheap, nice, good, not small capacity (16 GB if I'm right).
But it's hell hard to root but basicly other things are nice and I enjoy using Elephone.
