DailySteals.com $530.00 today only unlocked!!!

Today only, daily steals has the silver & white galaxy nexus phone unlocked and brand NEW! I and many other fellow xda members bought the phone last time DailySteals had the phone for sale and I can say that I am very happy with the phone! It came brand new and it works great for my tmobile service! The only problem with DailySteals is that they take awhile to ship the phone, but if you are patient, it will pay off!

My brother ordered the white one last night. How long did it take for you to get yours? From date of order to the day it arrived at your doorsteps.

I dont remember the exact days but about 2 weeks... Took about a week for them to ship it and about another one after it was shipped. It also matters when you bought it. If you were one of the first to buy it and got into the first batch, you will get it a little bit sooner!

Figures this would happen two days after I finally bite the bullet and just order through Negri after waiting a while for a deal to pop up somewhere.
Oh well, at least I will have it earlier.
Very nice find.

The site offers great deals, but customer service is practically non-existent. Your credit card will be charged immediately when you make a purchase, but the product might not ship for two weeks (which is what happened in my case so it took three weeks in total to get the product to my door). There is no number to call and don’t expect a reply to any emails you send them for two days, if at all. Know that all sales are final, so, if you are in the US and have a problem with a grey market product, which this phone is, you will have to ship it internationally to get it fixed.
Caveat emptor.

On it
I just bought a used one on craigslist last weekend for $500 so when I saw this last night I was a bit pissed off I didn't wait longer. I put a craigslist ad last night for $550 and had someone offer $600 this morning if I delivered it to him (20 mins away). I literally just deposited the money now and ordered this one for $530 brand new....a bit crazy but now I won't be OCD about my phone trying to figure out if any scratches were there before me.

Just pulled the trigger!
geez, I hope nothing goes wrong with my order. Looks like the customer service suck based on the comments.

I've noticed some bad feedback but I've also seen many people have no issues whatsoever. I think it's mostly people who get impatient and don't read the whole taking up to 6 business days to ship thing. Also, a lot of items are specifically stated as refurb where as these are said to be new in retail packaging. I read somewhere using paypal is a good move since you get the buyer protection if the item is broken etc.
My gut feeling says this deal is some cellphone reseller trying to clear it's stock and dailysteals will gather up a bulk orders and order a high volume from them at the end of the 24 hour period. So our money is used first to buy what we ordered and I'm assuming that's why it may take up to 6 business days to ship to us.

I purchased a new open box GN for $529 but returned it once I learned (after contacting Samsung) that the warranty is only valid if the receipt shows it was purchased in the country it will be repaired in. I was surprised as Samsung US never asked for my receipt when I sent my Nexus S in. Bought one from Negri instead so I have a warranty if anything goes wrong in the next 12 months.

i think that most sites like dailysteals and 1saleaday you are paying for the cheap price, not quick shipping and customer service
it sucks to wait and the tracking is usually terrible but the item does arrive eventually

I'd be all over this if I didn't have my extended battery which I need and would kill the white color .

I'm already getting antsy...these are going to be two very long weeks waiting on the shipping.

No joke....these guys really do not update *ish
I had not received any updates emails. No wonder the service is bad.

Has anyone received their phone yet or at least see their status updated? Mine still says it's open and I was gonna give them a few more days before I start emailing them. I ordered mine very early in the sale so I hope that I got into the first batch.
All of us that ordered should keep this thread updated so we can hopefully get a rough idea of when we can expect our new phones

They posted it up at 9pm Pacific time and my brother ordered it at 9:15pm. I think he's one of the first to order it, but still hasn't received it yet. I'll keep you guys posted.

Does anyone know anyone who picked one of these up during a previous dailysteal sale?
I'm curious what build this will come with after reading multiple threads on the yakju vs yakjuxx builds.

Just so you know, DailySteals took a LONG time to ship on the first deal and I NEVER got a tracking email. However, I was able to track it by going to UPS's tracking website and using my order number as the reference number. Remember to select "Track by Reference".
The version I got from them was a South Korean model with the Google build on it. However, others reported getting one from China, so it depends what batch you get. I believe everyone I spoke with had the Google build on it.

I would give it 6 business days before you contact them. My status still says open as well (I check it way too much for my own good) but their site said the 6 business day thing with the occasional slight delay depending on the product. I ordered mine at 11am EST so I'm hoping I'll be on the first batch of shipping.
I'm going to try the order number with the UPS site as someone here has mentioned. Let's definitely post on this thread when we see any updates and/or receive our phones to give the rest of us a good idea of when to expect our goodies.

Carphonewarehouse first again.

Bought my Sony play, last year, and Carphonewarehouse had it 5 days before anyone else, today picked up the one x, for my wife again from Carphonewarehouse, hate them or love them they certainly do deliver. I picked the 36£, vodafone tariff, which I think will definitely be the cheapest, compared to anyone else, good job carphone.

fair play to CPW!
beats headphones or no?

Lol, they probably kept for themselves, apparently most stores recieved about 3 units per store, in my harlow branch, they have 2 stores, both had about 6 between them.

I popped into central branch today in hull, they told me they already have their demo unit but not received any stock as of yet, to be fair i dont think the rep really new what he was on about as he didnt even know the release date

Hey Marvi0, which firmware did the UK version ship with?
1.26/7/8?

I've pre-ordered from CPW with delivery to store and not heard anything yet... will call them tomorrow.

I don't see the point in paying £36 for 600 mins, 3000 texts and 1GB Data.
Three do their one plan
All-you-can-eat data + Tethering
2,000 minutes
5,000 Three-to-Three minutes
5,000 texts
for £38pm with a free phone.
Better value for money if you ask me.

Last time I used Three was just after they launched, I lived in North London and I couldn't get reception anywhere....after a long battle we went out seperate ways...I now live in the sticks and ain't willing to risk it!!!

No stock at any of the stores near me yet. Hope they have a grey one I can reserve on Thursday and pay for on Friday, seems easier than ordering for delivery to store. If not, I'll bite the bullet and pay online.

You can get the same deal from affordablemobile for £31 p/m, that is a saving of £168.
I got the same deal yesterday, but changed to £23 p/m with £112 upfront for 500 mins, 500 txt and unlimited internet without tethering today, as it is much cheaper and I don't really need the tetherting that much.
Link to 3 One Plan for £31 p/m free phone
Link to 3 One Plan for £25 p/m with £118 upfront.
P.S. according this email affordablemobile sent me today, I could get the phone on Thursday if everything goes to plan.
"The HTC ONE X is released 05/04/12, credit checks will be taken out 04/04/12 for these handsets to be despatched that night for delivery on release date. Providing you pass all checks you could receive your handset as soon as 05/04/12. I can confirm the one plan on 3 does come with tethering."

You were lucky, there was a memo sent out later today to say that the release date is 5th and not to sell them, looks like some ppl didn't get that memo! :screwy: some heads will roll!

I will be seriously pissed if they don't dispatch my white version tomorrow for Thursday delivery - the website still states 'pre-order for Thursday 5th April delivery'
If it's not dispatched, they can give me my money back so I can go & pick it up in a shop - as the next earliest date would be 11th April, which is unacceptable.
11th would be terrible for a pre-order, (a pre-order they took money for over a, week ago) - especially when other suppliers have been shipping & delivering them already.
I feel I will be phoning them a few times in the morning.
... Hopefully with good news.

Funny you should say that buddy, cause when I went to the main branch, and asked if they had it, they said they had, no problem. I left my debit card at home, so went back to pick it, and then decided to go to the branch that was out of town, and when I asked if they had it, they hesitated before saying they had, but it wasn't on system, and had no price, which kinda confirms what you saying, it's only after I suggested, all be going to pick it up then at the other branch, as I had already spoken to them, that all the customer service chaps, went to the back of the shop, and miraculously it was now priced. But the first chap, I had spoken to wasn't the one who completed the deal, instead, it was the doggy looking chap, who done it for me. Let's just hop, the units are retail Units, not test versions, in light of what you said. And now my wife, read about the HTC that toasted in someone's pocket she's now a bit worried, the phone, got a bit warm at times when I was introducing it to the world, imagine it blowing up in the pocket, "I hate the sore idea of loosing one of my b***s.

Just phoned carphone warehouse, & I'm FURIOUS!
its 12:17pm - they still don't have stock for the white HTC ONE X.
They don't know when they are coming in, & its has to be dispatched today for the launch day delivery!
I've had my pre-order for weeks, they even took the money over a week ago (which they shouldn't be allowed to do until it enters dispatch process)
I asked about possible refund in which I was told it would take 4 days for them to refund me - which is absolutely pointless as i might aswell wait for white stock by that time.
The only thing they can do is offer to send me the black one instead.
Their website 'still' states pre-order today for Thursday 5th April delivery.
I'm soooo angry, if it's not dispatched today - it will be another week at the earliest til I recieve it!
Biggest phone supplier in the UK & they have no stock still, when O2, 3, Phones4u, dialaphone etc all have stock!

Note 2 at Best Buy

Dose anyone here know if best buy is going to have them in stock on launch day? I preordered mine there on 10/27 and the employees at my local store aren't very helpful. Ťhey said I would get first one because they didn't even know it could be preordered but I would like to know when to expect it.

I pre ordered phones there before and they had them on launch day. I even got the note 10.1 there on launch day....So, I assume it will be the same. Your note 2 will be sitting in the locked drawer just waiting for you...

Has anyone ever had it delivered to their house? I ordered mine yesterday with home delivery.

My bet is the AT&T version will not be available on launch day at Best Buy. AT&T is shipping online preorders today. A group of us have been waiting for the Sprint version at Best Buy and have recently confirmed that the white version is finally arriving at the stores but they can't sell them until the 11th. Sprint stores started selling them on 10-25. This means Sprint Corporate probably had exclusivity for a couple weeks to sell the phones first and AT&T will probably do the same thing.

I guess I'll be calling today to check the same thing, I'll cancel my order as well if this is the case.

I called Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile in Greenwood Indiana. The Mobile store says they have it on the 11th and Best Buy store said they don't have a date yet. Suffice it to say I will be at the AT&T store at 9am picking up the Note 2 and cancelling my order with Best Buy Mobile.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Cancel NOTHING until you have one in hand, as the average employee, phone rep etc. at Best Buy OR AT&T haven't a clue when they will have or ship anything other than what they hear from the folks around them. You just have to check your options, and be ready to pounce if one turns up, LOL, but canceling orders on spec is a losing game, trust me, I have been there and done that more than once. My frustration is I only have a debit card, and any pre-order I ever place always debits the money for at least a week, and then rills the charge off if it has not delivered or shipped. It ties up my money so I can't hedge my bets with a backup plan. Fortunately i git lucky this go around and have one arriving via Fedex late delivery tomorrow.

Just confirmed that Best buy mobile cannot sell a note 2 till Sunday that is the release date for them

I work for best buy mobile so I can counter-confirm your claim. We have a HARD street date for AT&T of 11/9 and sprint is 11/11. That may have been what they were referring to. Or you got a dumb employee that doesn't know how to pull up street dates. And trust me, I know more than my **** when it comes to AT&T releases for this company

I'm in NYC, 5th ave store & Union Square store confirms Sunday the 11th. But for the Sprint version. They already have them. AT&T isnt in stock yet and should arrive towards the end of the month (or 2 weeks).

so just got word that my best buy will be receiving a couple white note 2

:{ Wonder if it is because i am a JR and my father lives at the same address and they can't find me...

I received mine from a LG covention they had in Atlanta weeks before its release, then I ordered one through Sprint on the 19th and havent got a shipping notification yet. That could be because of the holidays, but at work we can order them and have them in within 3 days, so I wouldnt think they are on backorder from the manufacturer, probably amazon is setting expectations for the holiday season.

Like mentioned before BestBuy will price match almost any online price and if its a new line of service not an upgrade almost every real coporate sprint store will as well.

i got it from letstalk wireless. The error was that WHile I am a JR my father has a sprint account and we live at teh same address so they needed confirmation it was someone different. Anyways No deposit and 3 lines :} Im happy lol and with my corporate/university discount I only pay around 64~69 ish a month.

I am cheap, so waiting was no problem as I had an epic I still love. I ordered it Dec. 1 (my upgrade date) and it said it was backordered until jan 16th for the estimated delivery. Anyway, long story short it came in the mail on the 6th. I can't say the backorder is just BS, but I thought I was gonna be doing the 25 days after christmas countdown to get my phone.

When I bought mine, it said it was on back order and expected in January. I got it 5 days later. Not promising anything, just sharing my experience.

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, took a punt on the LG Watch R at the weekend, which is nice but would prefer the Zen. I have it preordered at Expansys at the moment, got in while they were taking orders rather than just the register interest page they have up now.

I had some interest in LG G Watch R because of the circular display but I think the watch is a bit too chunky. Will have a look at expansys

I'm currently using the LG Watch R and had the same thoughts as you, but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be. However I still have my preorder with Expansys and will decide on which one I want to keep once it arrives. Hopefully soon!

Hi all,
I pre ordered mine here: http://www.expansys.fr/asus-zenwatch-eu-265396/
Please note I'm from France.

Anyone got any news with UK release? Hopefully comes before Christmas so I can get myself a Christmas present

Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.

they are based in HK and have some very dodgy reviews - actually rang them this morning asking whether it is uk stock and this wasn't clearly answered. I then asked about customs duty and they just said its an all inclusive price - bollox. Expect duty and RM charges on top....
I actually remember I nearly bought a camera off this lot a couple of years back but they aren't exactly truthful about location of item or taxes etc - means you'll pay customs and it'll be regarded as a grey import without warranty.
I think its sad that ASUS are dragging their feet on this. I've looked at big daddy in the US but again with their $40 fee and customs, its getting expensive!
Need an american friend to buy and send as a gift!

Anyone heard anything more on the UK release?

Avoid Simply B'S they are HK based

If and when it arrives, if it's not a UK warranty, I will charge it back through my credit card as I will have been mis sold the item according to trading standards. Mmm I will then follow up with trading standards and ensure they are put out of business based on their mis-sellibg practices... At least in the uk/as a UK seller.
Anyway, still no UK date grrr

Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.

Don't order from Simply Electronics. The product they have is not certified anywhere and is dodgy. They quote low prices to draw people in and you very stung after. I got taken in by the cheap price if a macbook air but it wasn't European certified or certified by America FFC. They're customer services is rubbish and they don't reply and when they do they try to get you to keep the product at a reduced cost. I had to complain through PayPal and eventually got all my money back. Lesson learnt. They are based in HK but have warehouses in UK and Europe. If you ever do order then be wary as they're not that easy in returning and will try to get away with charges to deduct from the amount you paid on receipt of a return. I would suggest you all keep away like you would with the plague!! All the reviews online are rubbish and are made up to make them look good.

Expansys have changed from a "keep me notified" page to a pre-order page. I don't know whether that's due to a site relaunch (can't recall whether I've seen that design before), or whether it's changing.
BTW, for a while now, I haven't seen Simply listed on the Google Shopping page when searching for the Zenwatch.

I pre ordered back in October but nothing since then obviously. Dunno if I should pre order again! Had a price when I first did it. £159.98 is the price that was given.
Just looked on simply be and it's on their site for pre order just under £200 - site has changed a lot since I made that horrible mistake of ordering from them a while ago.

I have a zenwatch in my possession in the UK. It was ordered from the US via Big Apple Buddy. I ordered it on Friday 5th December at around 2100, paid by PayPal and had it - with shipping & tracking information and regular updates - delivered by FedEx by 1030 on Monday 8th December.
The total cost was around $285, including service charges, but felt this was still pretty good value in the realm of early adoption, given the interminable wait for the damn thing to reach the UK.
I can vouch for the fact that Big Apple Buddy are entirely safe and reputable.
And the watch? Well worth it, especially with 5.01 sideloaded.

I looked at them^ but they came back much more expensive than this!
I've just ordered a Gear VR from Samsung US using .comGateway - very reasonable $20 plus postage.

How much was the postage if you don't mind me asking? Also has anyone found anything like this that has Google play store as a retailer?

I'm surprised. How much was the quote for? May be Xmas demand related I suppose.

$50. I got them to pay for it too as wanted a us billing address.

Given up on simply electronics. Never before have i dealt with such an appalling company.
Dropped big Apple buddy another line. Doesn't look like the watch will be released anytime soon here!
