As per the title, Carphone Warehouse currently have the black, silver and blue options for £599.99 sim free - that's £50 less than Clove or HTC. Might be worth thinking about if you are considering preordering!
I was going to go with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, but the HTC U11 seems to be the phone that the Xperia should have been so with the extra £50 off.... I've put my order in! ?
To share the love - if you tweet HTC UK (not sure about other regions) for a discount code then they'll give you 15% off if you order through their website - I saved nearly £100 as it brought the total price down to £551.65!

Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up a sim free Touch HD (for use on T-Mobile). Over the past week I've done some research and I've found the following prices:
Carphone Warehouse (bought with O2 simcard) - £440.36 Phone + £10.00 PAYG O2 sim card {TOTAL = £450.36 inc VAT}
PrePayMania.co.uk - £499.99 inc VAT (+ FREE 5 DAY P&P) + 5% QuidCo {TOTAL = £476.18 inc VAT}
TotalPDA.co.uk - £505.99 inc. VAT (+ £9.95 P&P) + 5% QuidCo {TOTAL = £491.84 inc VAT}
Handtec.co.uk - £501.76 inc. VAT (+ £6.95 P&P) {TOTAL = £508.71 inc VAT}
LambdaTek - £505.48 inc. VAT (+ £9.50 P&P) {TOTAL = £514.98 inc VAT}
Clove.co.uk - £527.85 inc. VAT (+ £7.90 P&P) {TOTAL = £535.75 inc VAT}
Play.com - £474.99 ex VAT (with RAC voucher below) (+ FREE P&P) + 4% QuidCo {TOTAL = approx £546 inc VAT before QuidCo)
Expansys - £544.99 inc VAT (+ £6.95 P&P) {TOTAL = £551.94 inc VAT}
Handtec beats LambdaTek by a few pounds if that makes a difference....I just bought mine from them, ordered late Friday night and it was delivered in USA Monday morning with cheap shipping:
501.76 inc VAT
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1464/htc-touch-hd/79acef5c9460ba749d477eb28738e604
Thanks! That's a pretty good price.. Assuming there's not a lower price I'll order one and get on with selling my trusty old Kaiser and brand new Vario IV to fund it
mlalahoi,
How much total they charge you in USD (including shipping, and VAT). Do they charge us for VAT even we are in US? I would like to know the total cost so I won't be surprise.
Thanks!

Ordered mine yesterday from http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/ and its free delivery £489.99.
They are out of stock atm though so
Otherwise play.com is 499.99 and its in stock...
Here's a great deal for the HTC Touch HD
Only £474.99 Delivered
http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-de...cked-mobile-phone-pound-549.99-delivered.html
Yea im just looking for the phone itself.........how much in U.S. Dollars.....im a native TEXAN also
Looks like we might have a potential winner here.
Does Play.com charge VAT on this item? If so the Touch HD could be:
£474.99 delivered inc. VAT = £403.74 excluding VAT. And it might be possible to get 0.5% quidco on top of that too.
Excluding VAT is the price VAT registered businesses and non-EU purchasers would pay (although I'm not sure about shipping costs for outside the UK mainland with Play.com).
Can we get the device any cheaper?
Damn wish I saw that 5% off play.com deal
I have one available posted on HowardForums.

Currently it looks like Play.com has the best deal available, I wonder why they're not showing as out of stock like most of the other retailers!
I might order from them, although it largely depends on what T-mobile can offer first! Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions, I think we've got the definitive list. Maybe this thread should be stickied for a week or two.
Actually, the Play.com voucher deal only works if you are an RAC breakdown cover customer.
And even if you are, consider that the prepaymobiles through quidco is an extra £24.46 off, making it £464.89 with free delivery.
I got mine from Gumtree.com. Paid £390 for orange version (although completely unbranded) and paid £15 online to unlock. Grand total £405. Completely unlocked and unbrandanded generic software. Only small orange logo printed on battery cover.

Good price as they're going on eBay for around £500. Was yours second hand?..
via PrePayMobiles, it's £421 ex VAT with £24.46 QuidCo = £396.54 which looks like the best possible retail price going for a new Touch HD. Even if you're a consumer and/or not VAT registered, PrePayMobiles is only £489 - £24.46 Quidco.

The guy who sold it to me literally got it as an upgrade the day before. Phone was brand new with all accessories.
I recommend anyone in UK to look on Gumtree for sale section.

My order got cancelled due to stock
Need to get one from elsewhere now, http://www.theorder.co.uk/ seems the cheapest £499 inc del. Not sure if I can claim the VAT back if I buy it through work though....
Anyone ordered from there before?

I've been trying to get in touch with PrePayMania, but they're very slow at getting back to me. I did get a message that they were out of stock, but they don't know when they're getting more in. Which is odd.
Anyway, theorder.co.uk - who knows? Why not order with Play.com? They're the same price (and cheaper if you have RAC membership).
Cheap cheap cheap

Shame its only the white one otherwise I'd changed my preordrr in a heartbeat. Still seriously tempted - its effectively £281 with the voucher.

Given that the price appears to have changed within an hour, it was probably a pricing error or something.
Yep... Now disappeared
did anybody get it at 291£? that would border on stealing
Managed to get the deal but now it's a waiting game to see if they will honour it. Prefer black and orange but can't complain if I can get it at that price.
I got it yesterday at € 404,43 on amazon.it, but today they cancelled the order saying the price was wrong. (19% off, from € 499)

Too bad the lower price at €281 even better .
Wonder what these will go for in USA - I see Welectronics has them as preorder for $699. Factory Unlocked.
Do you think we will see $500-$550

Clove/Handtec are at the 290 british pounds. With 2 day fedex shipping, Handtec is £301.89 which translates to $494 assuming your credit card doesn't charge foriegn transaction fees (~505 with paypal including fee). What makes the 291 price the norm in America is that we don't pay 20% vat (national sales tax) on the purchase.
Early Pricing of Z3 Compact
On the UK Site for SONY which I was directed to in order to purchase Z3 Compact direct from SONY the price
was 429 Pounds which is unfortunately about $701. lol
If it was $500 I would SERIOUSLY have shipped to USA via paypal , Site said free shipping, not sure if they would ship to USA.
Shipping date was September 26.
Switching to USA Sony via same Parent Site, no ordering or preordering options yet- a little strange maybe.
Assuming a little fine tuning in the Camera Software, a Manual with some semi Auto Modes where you can easily tweek exposures AND a little better QC on the Speakerphones so they are clear like the big Z3 and
this little Z3 Compact will be a great phone- probably worth $700 but ouch thats a lot for a Phone but hopefully I can get for $600.
Never MSRP on Ebay has preorder price at $ 629.
Well, I live in NY and ordered the Z3 Compact from Handtec for $504 through paypal so that is a doable thing (the thread clove special offer is about clove and handtec having the $504-515 preorder price with a free case/phone charger).
http://store.sony.com/xperia-z3-com...catid-All-Unlocked-Phones?vva_ColorCode=BC009
- $529
- Shipping 11-2-2014
- All 4 colors available
- Best of all... U.S. based warranty! :victory: (so you don't have to worry about returning to expansys or clove in the UK to get repairs if needed)
If you are in school (educational discount) or have a corporate discount from your employer, each will save you at least 10% on this, btw. That will easily knock the price down under $500.
there's already a post about this:

Expansys.Co.UK in the UK have the WiFi+4G version @ £384 and the wifi only at £319
Very.Co.UK are participating in Sony's £30 cashback offer. They also do 12 months interest free credit. WiFi+4G is £429 WiFi only is £329. They used to do 10% of your first order on tablets but now specifically exclude tablets. Still works for phones...
Nigel
Currys have the 16gb both colours for £329 but use code ANDTAB20 gets you £20 off and you can still claim £30 off Sony bringing it to £279.
Haven't checked quidco or top cashback but you might be able to get a bit off again.
Bargain! That makes it cheaper than the tab S 8.4.

Is that just the wifi, as I cannot seem to find on the description of the device. Believe it must be.

That is what I am contemplating.
I have the Tab Z and Ultra and didn't want to spend on this as the Tab S seemed to have more offers.
Hopefully sony will do something on the tab for black friday.
Also note the expansys price is cheap for the lte model compared to sonys price. Wonder if its a uk model or not.
Expansys ships non UK Tab S
Hi
Code Andtab30 for £30 off at PC world today then you can get the Sony £30 off as well
I can tell you that the TAB S LTE from expansys was NOT the UK version, but rather an Italian version, shipped with both the original EU mains adapter and also a cheapo 2A UK adapter. I just flogged my TabS LTE on fleabay in favour of the Sony Z3 which is a whole lot better tablet IMHO
Nigel
I am sure you are right about it being a better tablet, but that's reflected in the price they are going for I guess.
Want the LTE (which pcworld do not seem to have) but likely wait for the z4 in Jan 15 if they don't do anything on black Friday.
Are you getting the Sony from Expansys or waiting for a UK model?

Yes it is just the wifi version. Nice find on the updated discount code for currys/PC World.
Wonder if Amazon will match it as they currently have it at £309.
I'm planning on waiting a bit longer as the Sony cashback deal ends in March 2015. Plenty of time for further price reduction.

Same for me unless sony gives me a price on bf that is 'must buy' but my experience of their sales is that the discount equates to what others are already selling it for, so ends up being useless.
We will see
Bought my lte model from very.co.uk it is a UK model.

Are you looking for the LTE version because o2 have it for £379 and they are giving away a copy of destiny for free. CEX will buy it off you for £13 but you could possibly sell it for £20/30.
So with the cashback the total would be if you sold destiny to cex £336 or sold it yourself sealed for say £30 £319.
You also have quidco which takes 5% off before vat on payg or on pay monthly theres cashback depending on what tariff you go for.
Just to note if you go payg it will probably be locked to o2.
You could also possibly try to get John Lewis to price match them at £379 as I noticed they might be price matching competitors prices for black Friday. Brings the total to £349 with cashback.
Guys check out O2 uk they are doing a offer on the 4g let version with destiny game and you can claim £30 if you have a receipt of purchase.
Bought it from singapore z3 tablet compact LTE white 16gb for 689sgd - 5% = 650sgd for tax refund still pretty cheap compare to sony indonesia.
Sent from my SGP621 using XDA Free mobile app
£375 for LTE version http://www.expansys.com/more/?sbadd...&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Product+Alerts
Sony have the LTE version for £368 at the moment if you use the supposed expired code from October for the £30 off and cradle for £1 offer.
The cradle for a £1 doesn't work but the £30 off does
Dont suppose I will get the other offer for £30 of with sony direct, but at least I get some quidco.
Oh and its unlocked too.
If you post it on hotdeals, hope you refer, all the best.
Picked up the Wifi version from Currys for £275 using the current O2 Priority code (£25 off a £250 spend) and it still qualifies for the £30 cashback - so hopefully total price will be £245.
