Hello guys,
An aunt of mine is going to London soon and she accepted to buy the Nexus for me. I need it to be unsimlocked to work with my carrier..
And the most important thing is that she can only buy in street stores.
So as of today, what's the best deal for this kind of situation (the most attractive price )? Is it easy to find in street stores ( considering it was launcher on Nov 17 so stocks should've arrived )?
Thanks

Hope you find an answer in there
Thanks for your answer!
the spreadsheet shows about same prices everywhere but my true question is how do I know which store has got it in its street stores.
While some seem to be online-only, if I consider a store like Three, will they have it in stock? How can I be sure of it?
That's my last question, thanks !
you can't know. Unless you call that specific store and ask if they have them in stock. Then again if you called today they may be sold out by the time your Aunt goes. So no guarantees. She'll just have to shop around.

Hi!
First of all, I hope I'm in the right forum...
If this is not the right forum for this thread, please move it.
I want to buy a white One X (int.) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Someone know where I can buy it there? I want a store that will let me open the device, and check there are no build issues, and a low price. (If I'm right, I should get a 16% tax refund because I'm a tourist from outside EU)
Thanks for helpers!
The phonehouse should have unbranded phones and proper DOA services, but they are expensive...
i got lost in there site... didn't find the one x on the search.
someone knows more stores?
if you are staying in Amsterdam for a few days, order it online. there aren't many shops with the hox in stock except maybe as mentioned the phonehouse but they are expensive. I ordered mine from midi media, cheapest in the Netherlands (only e513 including delivery) but the phone is Vodafone branded .
check this site: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/
i would be there for only 3 days.
but it will be in 2 month, you don't think it will be in stock?
EDIT: does midimedia has a store in Amsterdam? if so, what is it? (i cant read their site, and google translate dont want to translate it )

I went looking for one this week and the shops I wanted to buy from (ie. were not much more expensive than the best internet deals) did not have any in stock. Maybe you can place an order and check out the phone. I can recommend mycom, I bought many product from them, tried them out, decided I did not like those products and got my money back without hassles (even after opening all the packaging)

i cant order from the internet to israel, because when it will get here ill have to pay at least 16% tax.
and midimedia is much cheaper...
have it delivered to your address in amsterdam
also the new government in holland (already dubbed the butt **** coalition (sorry mods, that's what the new coalition is dubbed)) decided to raise VAT from a whopping 19% to an unbelievable 21% , so you will likely have to pay even more. Why not get the device back home?
(edit: vat probably won't matter a lot because you might get a refund, okay than preorder it from mycom to get it from the store of your choosing)
bought my white One-X at Belcompany in Eindhoven, no problems with the phone, build date 28 march 2012
in the stores, they're always more expansive than online
First of all our vat is currently 19% rather than 16% as mentioned. I got mine from marktplaats.nl (like Craigslist), brand new in an unopened box from a guy that got it with his corporate renewal for €400, not kidding. You'll have to go pick it up at someone's private house though and be prepared for some haggling.
Make sure you call ahead and ask if the seller has the receipt that states the imei. If it doesn't, leave it as it's likely stolen. You might still be able to get the vat back at the port of exit if the receipt is recent enough (most people that get a renewal put the phone on marktplaats the same day they get it). Make sure the receipt doesn't state the buyer's name, which it mostly doesn't.
Good luck. I get all my phones this way, no problems so far. We're a pretty decent and friendly people ;-)

Hey man! I used to live in orlando. Take your GF to magic mall! Thats next to Fashion Square mall on colonial drive. Close to downtown orlando. This mall has everything CHEAP. Electronics and jewelry but also make sure you watch your own stuff as you might leave with less stuff than what you came in with! If not, that same area infront of the fashion square mall has a bunch of phone stores that sell phones without contract. By, the way please so her a favor and get her the SONY S. Don't get her an ARC/ARC S. Dump Erricsson the same way Sony did bro. Whatever you do! DO NOT TAKE HER TO MILENIA MALL close to International Drive! That mall will ruin you! Everything is extremely expensive. I saw an iphone case there for $150. But for the best price do AMAZON and get it delivered to the HOTEL's reception and warn them. You should be fine.
Here's the problem, In Turkey due to taxing policy electronics is really expensive. A relative of my friends live in US and they're coming here next month. So I'll buy it online and show adress as theirs and they'll get me one. The problem is I don't know any online retailers in US except amazon. So is there any online shops you could reccommend. thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I like to get a new Note 8 Wifi. After reading posts here, I found:
- the stock 4.1.2 has 'screen freezing' problem? Not sure what that is, but it doesn't sound good
- recent OTA upgrade to 4.2.2 may or may not fix it, and it introduced a new 'SPen offset problem'
- anything else?
Is this a bad time for me to buy a new Note 8 Wifi at this moment?
Thanks for your inputs.

I've ever experienced either problem and I've used both firmwares

not everybody experiencing these issues, the screen freeze fixed on 4.2.2. The SPen offset problem; some experiencing the issue, and some don't.
Now, consider this; currently Note 8.0 WiFi is $299 at stables (in store only), plus there's this printable coupon $75 off (expiring 9/28) that would bring the price down to around $225....for $225 what you are getting is a steal here. Of course, if you can able to locate one in Stable stores, as seems like they all sold out...but give a try, you may get lucky...
great day! i gonna have to sell my sero 7 pro and grab another gn8! if i can sell it for $75 then $150 for another gn8 is a no brainer!
Thank you all! I'll try to see if I can find the coupon then call around to see who has it so I can go pick one up!

Good luck finding a Note 8.0 in LA... lmfao... I bought mine on the 9/21 coupon. I called almost every stores in LA (WestSide all the way to San Bernandino and as far south Aliso Viejo). Some of them have incorrect inventory count, one store in San Fernando had a "broken" one. But I finally found one in Cerritos. Drove my ass there and picked it up. But as far as I can tell, none in the Greater Los Angeles area.
i picked on one. sold my sero 7 already and got the $25 credit, so only $125 out of pocket not including tax. another guy at work is going across town later to pick him up one. they've got 4 at another store. they had 2 at the one i went to but they could only find one. i was trying to see if they'd hold one.
thanks a bunch for the heads up!
and, no, it's the perfect time to get one! or another one, lol.
most stores are likely out of stock by now. however you can have them order in-store thru their online kiosk. you'll end up paying the $299 price plus the $75 off coupon at the register. next business-day delivery thru the kiosk...that's how i was able to get mine
the galaxy perks promotion ($25 google play credit, hulu plus, plus some boingo stuff) ends 9/30 though...

Yeah, I was able to order mine exactly that way. But I couldn't get the next business day delivery, unfortunately. It delivers on Wednesday... So I will not receive the galaxy perks, sadly. How did you ask for the next business day delivery? I just asked how quick it can ship and she didn't give me options for different shipping speeds, just said it will come on Wednesday...
Hi all,
Sorry for the dummy question but I would like to know if there is a place we can currently see and test it in New York at the moment?
I moved in the US few months ago, so I'm not sure how this works.
Over the past week, I tried to check few places (carriers, electronic shops, ...) but I guess it is still being shipped, carriers allow pre-orders and will need a bit more time to have it in stores? I know AT&T will not have it in stores but I thought Verizon would have it by now... checked one 2 days ago and the guy said they should have it soon but doesn't when know when exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Axello
Verizon stores may not have it in stock for sale, but they should have display models available on their tethered cases.

I've been to like 20 stores in NJ..nada...no floor demo model or any in person/stock.... HTC might want to get these physically in stores. There chances to sell incrrease dramatically that way...lol
Granted I know I'll love it but I need to see/hold it first before I purchase.
Hopefully the Ice View case is better constructed than the M9 dot view case....that was an epic fail by them. I had it replaced every 2 months 6 times from the flip cover ripping off.
Verizon on RT22 has it in display and in stock
I've seen and used them at the Verizon stores in Queens Center Mall and on Wall Street. Not sure if they actually have any in stock for purchase since I'm with T-Mobile. I just wanted to get to a store that had them before I bought online from HTC since it's $100 cheaper with the discount code.
Verizon store on 108th st has it
Several Verizon stores have it in NYC.
staten island stores have them on display.
Thank you all!
I'll check again today!
Ok, couldn't see it on 42nd but it was on display on 33rd (opposite Macy's).
Definitely a nice phone, I think I'll look for a good deal now for an unlocked version.
The 100$ promo code is not valid anymore
