[Q] Sony mw600 - Captivate Accessories

Have been looking to purchase this headset in the US after reading several recommendations on this site and elsewhere. Amazon seems to be out of stock forever as do many of the other US retailers. Noticed quite a few listings on ebay but prefer US retailer to avoid the long wait with international shipping and get it before the holidays.
Wonder if this headset is being replaced by a newer one and/or any recommendations for a US retailer (online or B&M) that may have it in stock for around $55-$60?
Thanks,

Suggestions for a UK non-ebay/paypal supplier for XDAI parts

Hi there, I need to replace my pointer for my XDAI and I'm also interested in getting one of the 'piggy-back' batteries as well.
But due to losing my job my ebay account (& unpaid fees) my ebay account was shut down so I wondered whether anyone can tell me if there are any shops that operate from the UK where I can buy either face-to-face or pay over the phone.
I had a look around on ebay but it seemed that all the listings for parts referred to the later XDA's.
Any suggestions of a shop or two, UK only mind you.
Thanks, Charles

Motorola Stereo Bluetooth headphones S9 HD

Did my research into what I think is the best stereo Bluetooth headset for me and my Samsung Galaxy S phone. I decided on the Motorola S9 HD headset (not to be confused with the older Motorola S9 headset).
Started to look at prices and saw that the prices seemed to start from an eye watering £69 and up. I then came across the website http://www.narmart.com which seemed to sell the same product for 3 different prices:
£15 - http://www.narmart.com/s9hd-bluetooth-headset-headphone-motorola-p-875.html
£35 - http://www.narmart.com/motorola-rokr-music-stereo-bluetooth-headphones-p-2523.html
£36 - http://www.narmart.com/motorola-rokr-music-stereo-bluetooth-headphones-p-1216.html
The website pages didn't really explain what the differences were so I obviously ordered the cheaper one at £15. It finally arrived a week a half later and noticed that it had been shipped from China (no indication that this would happen from the website). I should also add that the website interface is extremely poor:
I received no email confirming my order.
I placed the order on Saturday and by Sunday it was showing as delivered. Later found out that it had only been dispatched on the Sunday.
When raising a ticket through the website, the ticket history displays all responses with the same text used for the first ticket query.
Anyway, my first thought was that this was some cheap knock off but having used the product for the last 2 days, it seems very genuine (even if it is actually a knock off). The build quality is good, performance is great and it performs fully as expected.
My questions are:
Has anyone heard of this company before?
Why would there be 3 products that appear the same for 3 different prices on the same company website?
As a consumer ordering from a website, how can I know where it is being shipped from? Apart from the About Us page which mentions it's a Hong Kong company (only spotted this after ordering), there is no indication that it would come from abroad. Obviously, there is the risk that additional costs would be incurred if import charges are applied.
How can I check if this is a knock off or legitimate device made by Motorola?
Thanks in advance

Best Retailer?

I'm buying the phone in a few days and need advice. What is the best online retailer for buying this phone in the US? The ones I know about are: expansys, negri-electronics, ebay, amazon, and craigslist. I wanted to make sure I got the Taiwan build since a lot of people have given positive feedback on Taiwan builds. Does anyone expect HTC to fix some of the build issues under-the-radar or is it mostly software related. Let me know, thanks.
can't vouch for best. i first ordered from negri last weekend and never received a responding confirmation. i emailed and they said they had no stock and didn't know when new stock would arrive. then i cancelled and they tried to call me to say oh, heavens, they had one, but their free shipping offer did not apply to hawaii, so they would need to charge me $32 more. i said thanks but no thanks. went to expansys and ordered. order got held up a bit because i ordered some items not immediately available. it got straightened out and my order arrived within the week in great condition.
the phone from expansys comes out of taiwan. there's a rumor that the taiwan phones are not exhibiting the same build issues as those from china. i can't say my copy is perfect, because the previous android i had was not very sophisticated, and neither am i when it comes to android. but it doesn't seem to be exhibiting any serious problems . i bought an att micro-sim card off amazon and signed up for att prepaid $2/day unlimited talk/text and added a data package. seems to work in general, but i haven't used it extensively. by the way, the expansys htc came with a sim-card tray opener pin. the amazon micro-sim sold by abe 1-2-3 is a true micro-sim - does not require any cutting down.
I always find the cheapest to be ebay from Hong Kong sellers, can get for $650 AUD
I'm currently visiting Singapore and just picked one up at Sim Lim Square for $722 SGD which is about $600 AUD which in tern is about $600 US?
Thanks guys for the advice. By the way, do you know if it would be cheaper to have it imported from Singapore?

[Q] [UK] Cheapest Place to get the Galaxy Nexus Sim Free

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).

Buying Sony MH1c in India?

After a lot of research I finally decided to buy Sony MH1c earphones. But i can't find it anywhere on the online stores including ebay. The one entry on ebay is not a 'c' version. Can anybody help me out. Where can I get these earphones in India (or available for shipping to India)?

Well, did you have any luck finding one? I did find a listing on ebay.in for an MH1 OEM pack, but I'm not sure if I can trust the seller.

Well yea it was available 2-3 weeks back. I got the MH1-C version for 1099 INR, quite a steal considering the sound quality. The listing is out I think but the seller has 1-2 more of these. I know cos i wanted to buy another pair after listening to them and messaged the seller. The seller name is buyfor. Check with him if he can arrange for you.
