Can anyone reccomend a seller for cables etc. that ships from the east coast? I don't like waiting a week or more to take advantage of cheap shipping.
I used J&R out of New York (jr.com). Although seems anything coming from the East coast is delayed right now. A package that was supposed to be here today is currently still stuck in New Jersey because of all the storms.
You should check out monoprice.com. Super cheap cables, and shipping isn't bad either. I live in CA, so it may be different for you, but overnight shipping is cheaper than any other option for me.

Hi everyone,
Whats the cheapest price for the Artemis? I've seen it for $699 as a pre-order. Is this the best U.S. price?
Thanks,

You can purchase it online at www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com. That's where I got mine. Mad Monkey Boy from Howard Forums has them, as well, I believe.
Last I checked on that site, it is $609 today.

PhoneSource is quoting US$599. (in stock) http://www.phonesource-usa.com/
How much do they charge for shipping generally at smartmobilegadgets. I feel cheesed that I bought mine for $770 CAD
I originally purchased through SMG when the price was at $639. With 2-day shipping, the finally tally was $670.
When mine was ready to ship, his price went down to $619. This was on a Friday; so instead of refunding me $20, he upgraded my shipping to overnight with Saturday delivery.
Exact shipping costs I can't recall, but he was very fair to work with. And his communication was great.
currently available on singapore's yahoo! auctions at sgd1250 which is around usd799
Sorry for starting yet another thread on this but i finally got around to buying one and it was very cheap, in fact the postage from Hong Kong to Ireland would probably be more than what i paid for it, has anyone purchased from this seller before on eBay, looks fine from the feedback but unless they are making these jigs for pretty much nothing im wondering how they can be making any profit?

mass production man.. don't think the chinese ones are backyard home jobs anymore... The one I got was definitely not handmade, very good quality
i got one too from ebay...very good quality and definitely not hand made.....it was worth the purchase
Cheers guys the sellers feedback is very good so that is always a good sign and for the princely sum of €1.46 you can't go wrong.
I got one from the very same seller last week, off ebay.co.uk. It took about 8 days after shipping to get to southern England. It's definitely not handmade, and it works. As you say, you can't go wrong at that price.
I have buyed this one - http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280748150971 - it works als with 2.3.5 (KI8)

8 days is pretty good coming from Hong Kong i was thinking it would take a minimum of 2 weeks,i assume it'll take similar to here given our countries are beside each other.

I would think so. I guess it might go via London rather than direct to Dublin, but that shouldn't add more than a day. Also depends if Irish Customs take an interest in it - I don't think mine was opened by UK Customs, but when they do inspect something it adds a bit of delay in my experience. I think you'd have to be a bit unlucky for that to happen though.
My uncle happens to be in Singapore for a short stay and I've asked for a Galaxy Nexus. It hasn't been officially launched there so all units are sold at a mark up. I was wondering if anyone on here has purchased a Nexus in Singapore, if so, from where and how much. The cheapest deal I've got at the moment is SGD$1150, which is roughly USD$885, GBP£565 or EUR€660.
Thanks in advance.
Why not import from expansys UK. £429+ shipping + possibly customs duty in your country.

Customs and Duty are always a bit of a nasty surprise and not too comfortable shipping a phone all the way from the UK to Sri Lanka, besides I can have it as soon as Monday if I get it from Singapore. Thanks for your suggestion.
Your uncle might still have to pay customs duty. Unless he plays it cool while walking in the green channel
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?
Does anyone know if best buy has completed their pre-orders and started stocking shelves yet? I got my pre-order on Oct. 17th but i cannot talk on the phone using the speakerphone because it distorts the sound and none can understand me. If been trying to exchange it (suggested by samsung) and none of the 3 best buy stores in Knoxville, TN has finished their pre-orders little along shelf stock. Does anyone know if any other stores have recieved shelf stock of white sprint GN4?
