Is clove a good site to get this phone from or is there a better place?
Without contract the best places are expansys - £494, Handtec - £502 and Clove - £514
With a contract the best place is www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, you can get the phone on Vodafone or T-Mobile for a very cheap price and it is fully unlocked to all networks.

I get it from clove. Fast delivery and nice tracking too :>
I get it from Inkino in London the price is 519 pounds.
I'd vote for Clove - have used them for years (since the Psion days) and they're nice & friendly. Delivered mine next day.
Did any of you US clove buyers end up paying import duties? If so, how much?
My vote is for Clove also. Just started using them but found them to be quick and reliable.

Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!
Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:
handtec [dot] co [dot] uk
It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).
It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661
Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.
I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).
Cheers!

Erm, unless you're a company and can claim VAT back, you'll be paying £500 for that phone, not £419...

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).
I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.
Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!
And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen
i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
Also
"if your product develops a fault within 14 days from the date of dispatch, we shall cover any return postage fees and rectify the situation to provide you with a fully working product."
Could I order from one of these sites and use it on T-Mobile US? Does this version support the AWS band? Also would I end up paying way too much?
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just looking for a way to get the phone sooner. Because no one really knows when the HSPA+ version will come out in the states. I was guessing not until next year. Hopefully sooner.

From handtec's GNex blog:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/blog/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-shipping-update/
"Good news! Stock is arriving into our warehouse later tonight. With the sheer amount of backorders we hope to clear all orders by Wednesday 23rd November. We have a large amount of stock arriving and any new orders should be shipped on the 23rd and 24th of November. Tracking will be sent via email upon dispatch."
Never ordered a phone online before so I was just wondering if Handtec is a trustworthy site?
Safe as Amazon mate
Have they mentioned anything about checking for the SAV before dispatch?

They tweeted earlier that they have not been able to reproduce the SAV problem. Let's hope this is true.

Are you guys buying us adapters or simply using a charger from an existing phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

you can also get plug converters of ebay for $1

Right :/ shoot..
Worse-case scenario: It gets sent out Wednesday and, by the latest, arrives Monday. I'm okay with this
I'm wondering if "they" deliver on Saturdays with this type of shipping method.

No Saturday delivery..its a higher premium service. Of course, you can call and upgrade for it I suppose.
Just placed an order on Handtecs website. Assuming they finish dispatching all preorders on 22nd and 23rd, hopefully mine ships on the 24th. And since Thanksgiving has passed here in Canada, i hope to receive it by Tuesday or Wednesday next week Total is 440gbp with 2-4day Fedex shipping.
Yes i know the GN will be released here in Canada on Dec8 but im going away on a holiday trip on the 7th and want this shiny new gadget on my hands before the trip

20% VAT is nuts! Some Aussies are *****ing about our 10% GST, go figure... Always a pleasure to import from UK, no tax for stuff under $1,000.

Hi everyone,
I'm living in Brazil, but i have a friend living in London who will visit me in july.
The case is: Where is the best place to buy HTC ONE X online (to be delivery to him in London). But i need the HTC ONE X unbranded or any other way so i can have it unlock, rooted to install all ROMs and MODsin the future.
Can anyone tell me the best?
p.s. now i'm having some fun with HTC Sensation.
Thanks in advance
Your friend can pickup in store sim free from Carphone Warehouse or Phones4u.
Or purchase online, plenty of stockists, Gum Mobile, Clove, Handtec, Amazon, ec etc whichever is the cheapest go for that.

Thanks man. I will looking for in this sites.
I guess the best option is to wait and see till summer since over next 3 months prices will probably drop few quid. When you ready do research online from UK stockists
I will. He is going to be here only in july, so i will monitor the prices and best deals until there. I only had to know where the phone can be bought, and if there is a sim free option.
I presume it is easy to root and perform all other requirements in order to customize htc one as my wishes. Haven't to be more complicated as it was about Htc Sensation.

I recommend Clove.co.uk
Got mine from there, as well as several phones previously. Honest stock levels and fast delivery, with excellent customer support. I spent £500 with complete confidence in them, and they got it me 3 days before they said they would.
