Buying form Amazon? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Anyone buying form Amazon, or is there a downside to doing so?

I don't think there is a downside, here in the UK Amazon has a good reputation for customer service.
I just put the 256GB version in my basket and was offered the option to pay in 5 monthly payments of £115.80, which is total of £579, same price as from Oneplus, so that seems like a good deal, no credit check or interest payments.

Not an option on amazon.com in the US (so far)

lol i appreciate the sarcasm here thanks guys.
ebay has them for nearly $499 I'm not willing to pay such a premium!
and no one on the xda forum marketplace is selling the docks.
I'll still hold out maybe someone would be willing to help.

thats how much they cost off contract- $499. To get it in the bundle (Phone + Laptop dock) for $500, you have to sign a 2 year contract with the tethering plan, no one will do that!
ATT sells the phones off contract for $399 plus a $100 mail in rebate = $299.

i bought my atrix a week ago for $499 from an AT&T strore and there was no mention of a rebate. where can i find the phone for $399 and where can i find this $100 rebate (for just the phone)?

This is the price for the phone, not for the dock. If the dock was cheap or came with the phone, you would see them for sale everywhere. But as it stands there are only 2 ways to get the dock
1. Pay full price
2. Get a tethering plan and get dock at reduced price.
If someone gets the dock with the tether plan and doesn't like the dock, maybe they will sell it cheaper. But if they can sell it on eBay for full price - why sell it cheaper.
You are a bit misguided on how the pricing works here.
Best Buy website has dock listed at $399. Only available in store, so it won't help OP, but maybe someone else who wants one can find one in store.

The phone off contract is $499. There is no mail-in rebate. Not for the atrix anyway.

I believe he's thinking about a link originally posted in the accessories forum, although I do believe one also must purchase a phone to get this price.

Also Best Buy is selling them for $399, but they are "not available for shipping".

Have you tried buying it from the Motorola store. It is powered by Amazon which I believe accepts PayPal.

Im looking to buy AT&T Galaxy S III but from where?

I pre ordered mine from them and they have the cheapest price online, I couldn't order it from anywhere else since I am in Canada and most sites only ship to USA, also if you want 15$ discount use DADNGRAD15 coupon
Negri seems to have the best price, I couldn't find an Unlocked AT&T anywhere else. Not even on Amazon.

Either buy from BestBuy AT&T or a craigslist ad dont go any higher than $550...AT&T sells from 550
No sales tax in the Virgin Islands. Woot

Our sales tax here is 6%, so for me the $550 becomes a total of $582. That's still less than anywhere else I've found on line by a long shot. Oh, and I confirmed with my local Best Buy that they WILL price match AT&T at $550. So that might be another option.
$649 for no contract or $149 for individual upgrade at Amazon, but they don't charge tax do they? Or I guess it depends on the state your in.
Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (AT&T)
EDIT: it's now $549 for no contract.
best price is free as in beer
AT&T has best no-commit price. And after awhile there will be eBay offering around the same price and without tax. So... Weigh your options, and see. It is time vs money.

[Q] Will the Nexus 7 be available in stores?

Hey,
do you have any news if the Nexus 7 will be available in local stores in the US or CAN? If so, when and which?
Thanks
carphonewarehouse have announced they're are going to be offering it on tethered contracts in the UK ...
As i'm a new user, I cannot post a link yet...
It says in a source that it will be available I'm store for purchase a week after preorders are delivered. Only the 16gb will be available in stores and the 8gb will be available through the play store.

The 8GB version better be in stores. I'm not spending $50 on space I don't really need.
You can play with the 16gb and decide that if you like it, you can purchase it through the play store.

Um, what? I'll be losing money that way. Not only is there tax on everything you buy (which doesn't get refunded), but shipping would cost more than the $50 I would save.
I just purchased a 16GB version from the Play Store (UK) GBP209 including delivery.

Oops, sorry. I didn't know you're in Canada because I couldn't tell where it's being shipped to from the phone application. Most sources imply that the 8 gig is only via online but I hope that for Google's sake that they provide both in stores asap.
I still wonder why they don't sell it in Germany as we are a pretty big market too...

Anyone found the cheapest unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4, either version will do, just the cheapest found would be appreciated..
Thanks
Unlocked-Mobiles is the cheapest site I have found the GS4 on... It is $674.46 AUD including postage! That is amazing! Although I don't know whether to wait a while, maybe it will get cheaper? Opinions? Sorry can't post a link, new here..

I am from Australia, although as long as the s4 is unlocked i am happy for it to come from any country, all i need is the cheapest?

For Australia: Just like any online purchase, usually the only fee are related to the conversion rate. Either they convert at the banks rate (includes markup) or at usual rate plus percentage fee. Still cheap either way. Sometimes paypal is an option also. Buying in another country means you don't pay the added tax
So we're thinking that Unlocked-Mobiles has it the cheapest? If so is anyone going to buy it?

US Buyers: Importing?

For me, I'll be most likely getting mine from ebay seller never-msrp who is located in US and imports the phones.
http://stores.ebay.com/Never-MSRP/_i.html?_dmd=2&_nkw=xperia&rt=nc&_ipg=192
There is a thread about the seller in the Z2 forums.

I'll wait and see what Sony is asking on their site. Possibly go the eBay route, Amazon, expansys, or Clove. Currently clove is taking pre-orders at ~$610 USD including shipping, eBay is about $630.
Amazon is my first choice for purchase, or the sony store, then finally ebay
Credit Card points on amazon + prime = shweet
Importing for me!
I got my Sony Xperia Z1 from http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z3-compact last time and had zero issues getting it on time and they also do bundles too.
I plan to get the Z3 Compact from them once they get them in stock mid Sept 2014. imo totally worth it since the imported versions usually have nearly all 3G/LTE bands needed too.
I might buy it from ebay. Ebay sends me offers for 4X ebay bucks offers once in a while, which is essentially 8% off.
Looking for the green version, but apparently only http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/sony-xperia-z3-compact/monthly?colourCode=GREEN has it for preorder and they don't export

Good catch, thanks
is that expansys green for sure the 5803?
Pre-ordered a white Z3c from Handtec.
Quick question: Does importing this to U.S. mean this is a "grey market" device and has no warranty at all?
Clove has it for 500 USD including shipping!
Have anyone ordered from them? Did you have to pay customs duty?
Handtec has it for the same price, and the shipping is a little cheaper.

For us US buyers we dont pay VAT so it is 290 pounds + shipping. Shipping is cheaper at handtec.

See the section " Can I remove VAT from my order"
It says "Customers outside of the EU are not charged VAT on any order."
