I would stay away from this site until someone confirms a successful transaction. The domain name was registered in Feb this year which is very recent!
Their domain name registration details are different to their contact details on the website.

damn those scammers! trying to scam me on ebay and have me send a g1 to nigeria..jerks
nice thinking man i was going to let the price get the best of me but you saved me..thank you

Scam for sure be carefull

lol and they use a yahoo account

http://largesseworld.com has the same offer, selling Touch Pro2's for $500. I emailed the contact asking if this was a typo or if they had them, and got a reply from Mr. Tim Cuhls
that read:
Yes we have it in stock and ready to be shipped.
Shipping is Overnight.
Send me your delivery address.
Who asks for a delivery address like that? After a bit of research I found out that TP2 release date is 6/1. I replied, asking about that, and was told:
We have them directly from HTC.
I'm thinking definitely a scam. The pictures I've seen of others selling them actually make me think of cheap Chinese knockoffs, too.

only prototype devices are out, and given to some telco ppl, no actual production devices are in the market yet...
pleas be careful of scam....

How many pieces do you require and where will you be shipping to?

Thanks.

I honestly don't think there is a way to but a touch pro 2 before they actually start making them lol I am sure there are a few but they aren't actually producing them in masses and the few that do exist aren't for sale, or at least I am pretty sure about all that

Tell them to just forward a handset serial number confirmation prior to shipping so you can validate authenticity with HTC....
I'll bet you get a tumbleweed to blow across your desk before you get a response.

SCAM!!!!!
It is definitely a small scale scam, they are using a 30 day trial from a company who helps you build an on-line store, They do not have any products and will take your money.

man.... if it's too good to be true.......

All Scams!
Trust me, ive been looking. Tired of buying wack att branded phones so this time gonna just not be a cheap ass and but an unlocked htc original tp2. I mean even when its branded its gonna be an easy $300 with 2yr contract. Might as well pay a few bills more for the unbranded. Ive seen them now online as low as $300! For sure scams! Id wait til end of this year to buy one when they are in full circulation.

It would be funny to ask one of them why they are selling them so cheap if they actuallly could sel;l them for like 2-3 times more because they arent out yet and see what they say.
what would be even funnier to ask is how they are sellling them when HTC hasn't started making them yet lol they only made a few models for tests ext. but they actually haven't made any to be sold yet.

According to this http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/unlocked-htc-touch-pro2-to-retail-for-880-touch-diamond2-for/ HTC has set the price for the TP2 at $880.

Unbranded TP2 planned for 659,99€ (860$) in france. The status is unavailable now...

I mad this way back in October and kept it as a backup in case Handtec didn't come through but seeing as they did get it, already have my money, and are cheaper I'm canceling this one and going with them.
For anyone in the US who still wants to order one despite the SAV issue and doesn't want to deal with making an international order they're another viable option.

Don't know if 750 is viable.. what a mark up.

They're just passing the import fees along to the consumer and trying to make a $30-$40 profit like Negri did. Personally I have no problem going through a UK retailer but a lot of folks were hesitant.

I just received the same email too.
They were actually expecting stocks due next Monday. It looks like it arrived earlier.
For the price, I think it is OK. There is a $20 coupon which brings the total down to 729, plus they do not charge tax outside IL.

I just placed an order through expanys usa, only because my bank was blocking transactions though Handtec due to "fraud", which is rubbish because they are a legit company. Anyway Expansys charged me for shipping, while advertising free shipping, also none of the coupon codes worked (10OFFLC nor 20OFFLC).

I believe it is free shipping for 3-5 day.

I just placed an order with them clicking through Mr. Rebates to get 2% back and $20 off. The email acknowledgement shows -$20 for a total of $729.99.
I'll check my CC to see if they did only charge $729.99 or added to that.

I tried 20OFFLC and it did apply it. It shows it at the bottom. For warranty is expansys USA a authorized Samsung reseller?

Anything sold outside its intended country of sale is considered grey market by Samsung and has no warranty. However, during the life of the two-year warranty Expansys-USA will send the phone to their UK affiliate for service on behalf of their customers. Anyone buying from Negri, Amazon, or eBay has no warranty. No one in the U.S. is authorized to sell the phone by Samsung and it's not a U.S. product. Should the phone need service, Samsung UK will ask for a receipt and/or credit card statement. The purchase had to be made in the UK in GBP and from an authorized reseller for the warranty to be valid. They also keep a database of which phone serial numbers were sent to specific dealers/distributors. Many i9100 repairs were rejected because they didn't meet the requirements I described. All us i9100 owners went through this when the phone first came out so what I'm sharing is fact.

I got the same email. My total was 729.99 and I was more comfortable buying from a company with a US presence.

$750 + $29 for 1 day shipping. = $777.94
is it worth it?

Thank you for the clarification. Any idea as to how is their customer service in case something goes wrong with the phone?

Buying from EXPANSYS USA does not void a warranty by any means. I sent my GS2 back for a repair with no problem at all. In fact, I called EXPANSYS and spoke with a rep there that offered to take care of everything for me. I shipped it back to EXPANSYS and they forwarded it on to France for me, got it repaired, and shipped my phone back to me when it was finished. They also gave me all the information I would have needed if I wanted to do it myself. I just went through them to alleviate any huge shipping fees and any unforeseen obstacles. It looks like they do have the Galaxy Nexus in stock now.... It's hard not to buy one!!!

I am tempted, but I really want the 32GB version.

Agreed. It baffles me that they didn't put any expandable memory slots on this device.

[Q] US vs UK price, warranty

Searched around, and find Importing from UK is about $695, shipping included (Handtec or Clove). While Expansys offers $750, Newegg offers $760. The difference is more than $50
So my focus is on warranty. Can we get US warranty when importing from UK?
Is expansys-us's warranty really US warranty or they also send it back to UK? How about Newegg?
Which one would you choose? Can anyone give better offers?
I'm on ATT and have to use it in China so I need the unlocked version
Decisions, please!

I don't know how you're paying, but with Google Checkout, they charged me over $20 for foreign currency, so it comes out to be closer.
Also amazon has a few 3rd party sellers who sell it for cheaper - and offer warranty.
Even if they offered warranty from UK, it would be expensive to ship it.

Didn't go through the whole process, stopped at checkout page and chose shipping to US and see price at 445 pounds. Thanks for the notice for additional fees.
BTW, will there be 8% tax charged when going through custom?

I believe eXpansys do offer warranty but I have no idea how they are doing their warranty. However, based on my experience, I feel safer getting mine from eXpansys mainly because they have an office based here in US and they are well known for their good customer service (at least for me). So I am more comfortable getting it from them. That's just my opinion though

Just found a better deal from Negri, original price $739, additional coupon $35, so only $704. How about warranty from Negri?
Update, looks like Negri needs people to pay at least $715.5, but this price is still okay.

Found someone saying international version will be available on bestbuy at $529 after verizon release?
That will be a huge steal, but is it possible?
If not, I think I will go by expansys next week after they have new stocks

Considering it's also speculated VZ will have a period of exclusivity and I don't believe Best Buy sells international versions - they only sell you phones that the carriers they support sell, I highly doubt it.
it'll be $649-$699 for off contract price, just like all other brand new high end android device.

I bought mine from amazon for $735
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZEF01A/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

They now have it for $643.50 with coupon for a pre-sale price. It's in my basket on holding debating what to do. This is for the Verizon version. I did ask that whether it was the 16 or 32GB since it just says Internal Memory 16/32. I also wanted to know how they would deliver it as it list overnight delivery, which would be a Saturday. However, if you read their fine print on all shipping, it will say, "If you choose Overnight Shipping you are getting a discount price on Second Day Air" and so on.
So, buy it now or wait?
Also, does anyone know how Verizon handles phones that you buy outright? Are you still locked into a 2 year contract? Or, do you pay monthly even if you have an account with them? I always get conflicting answers when I call or go into the stores. Thanks for your help and opinions. I know we all can't wait!

That was for the presales. I got mine from them this weekend for the 704.
Supposedly both expansys and they will send off your phone to the uk for warranty work. Supposedly.

where do you get the $643? Is the verizon unlocked version a world phone? There's no point for an unlocked phone with only cdma/lte

I got mine from Expansys. They will take warranty returns back to ship for you to England for warranty service. That makes it easier than trying to deal with customs your self. (See a lot of warranty discussion in the General Forum, under Expansys USA Now Shipping thread, at (I think):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359169
Also, in the same thread, there are reports that Negri does not offer a warranty. I don't know if true or not.
Remember - buyer beware, and check very carefully! Good luck.

From Negri:
DEFECTIVE ITEMS: A defective item may be returned for repair within 25 days of date of purchase. If an repair is not possible we will offer a refurbished replacement. If this is not available you will be offered a store credit toward a future purchase. If you would prefer a refund (instead of a store credit), you may request a full refund, minus shipping charges. The exchange process typically takes 8-10 days to complete. Every (Non Carrier Branded) device comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. After 25 days our exchange/return policy has expired, you should contact the manufacturer for repair or for warranty replacement or exchange, if your device qualifies for this. Please contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you hold is covered under their warranty. If you would like to send your device to us to send to the manufacturer you are free to do so. Please request an RMA. This will delay the warranty process by 1-2 weeks and you will be charged shipping to and from the manufacturer. You will need the original invoice from us in order to have your item repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer. Warranty varies by manufacturer, but typically warranties are valid for 1 year from purchase. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST request an RMA in order to return any device.
So, it looks like you can send it to Negri, and they'll just send it to the repair center, but charge for shipping. Lame, compared to expansys. Since you might a well just send it to the repair center yourself.
But expansys has branches in many countries, so they probably can help out more.

Yea I work for verizon, and if you purchased your phone outright then its just a simple equipment change, with no contract extention, althought you would need a micro sim for it to work so you might have to go to a verizon store for one of those. I was considering getting a verizon one but because of the google wallet thing and the brand on the back and the unknown battery life with the LTE radio I think I'd rather not, I already ordered my International Gnex from Expansys with the $20 off voucher, so I got it for $729, not a bad deal if you consider the warranty assistance. The $20 off voucher code is 20offls

Phone sold on eBay-how to ship?

Seeing if anyone has experience with this. Selling my incredible 2 on eBay within US only via PayPal payment. When I looked up selling to other countries I saw a bunch of complaints that buyers were scaming by receiving the phone and then filing no receipt claim with PayPal and getting their money back completely screwing the seller. This was even with delivery confirmation, but not signature verification. This made me cautious still for a US sale.
So question is- should I only ship via UPS or fedex with a mandatory "Signature Verification" when shipping a phone valued at $200-250? More Costly shipping To prevent a charge back scam..
Thanks for any insight!

1. Ensure Good feedback
2. Ensure you are seller protected
3. Ensure you make a note of the IMEI/Serial in case you need to get it barred (not sure if it will bar it internationally but worth doing still)
4. Package the item taking photographs at every stage, so in case there is a claim, you have proof you packed it
5. Post via signed and tracked delivery with the relevant amount of insurance for the package! (don't skimp on this or you'll get done over by paypal in case of a dispute)
6. What ever you do, don't lost the receipt and tracking number!
Hope that helps

My Samsung vibrant auction is ending today and i made sure I wrote " no international shipping".. also, NEVER ship the product until you receive the money on your PayPal account by going to there website, don't look at just the emails because people fake those... Mike is selling for 220.. I will ship with USPS priority with a signature confirmation...

I have only used USPS without any issues. And you can fill out and print the mailing label from within Ebay.

Why did you post this topic twice in two different forums
Sent by me, for me and i love you

Just purchased from AliExpress mi Global store 99%

Hope it comes soon!Anyone else importing this to the USA? Hope it works out okay!

You could have saved some money, it's $650 on geekbuying.com. If you pay with paypal, it's $600. I will probably get it too but I'm not paying these early prices, waiting till drops below $600.

Hoping to get mine sooner than geekbuying but who knows. Thanks for the post! Hope lots of people get this so we have some good development!

You can't use that code no more, it has been used too often

Sorry, most of the stores have terminated all but the smallest discounts to protect their profit margins. I snagged up a
pretty big 15% discount, less than 5 minutes later, friend reported it failed when he tried it. I'll post where I got mine after I actually get it, if I'm scammed I'd rather be the only one, it does seem a little too good to be true.
Do note that some resellers are flexible so if they have a live chat option, you can ask for discounts, tell them you barely missed a coupon and politely ask, they should drop the price a little.
I've invested quite a bit of time hunting for a deal. For every site I found, there were mixed reports, some had a smooth ride, others had bad experiences.

Mine just shipped with a DHL tracking number from AliExpress. Can't wait!

Sweet, yours came from the 1st batch that sold out in 58 seconds. I don't have a tracking number yet. You'll be the first owner on xda that I know of
I hope case makers start selling cases now. The one in the package doesn't seem like it it can prevent fall damage.
I accidentally drop my phone with enough force to break the ceramic at least once a year.

That's just the way it is with early adoption and preorders. Consider yourselves lucky, you should have seen the prices some units have sold for on ebay. Or how bad the scalping will get with the iphone x...

Thank you Mr DHL person.

Wow! Did you have much tracking info from DHL or did it just show up? Where did you buy it from?

That's the strange part. I got a text message from DHL Express with tracking info and all. Followed it all the way to the door. Never knew they did that. I got it from eBay with a mountain of eBay bucks. Seller threw in a case and screen protector. I hope the OEM case is in there. My Mix shattered when we preparing for hurricane Irma and I needed a phone. Was waiting to see the pixel 2 XL but that price point scared me off from the leak.
