Let's see if we can crowdsource the best prices for a SIM-Free Desire.
In the UK I think the cheapest SIM Free deal is from Clove.co.uk (the dark gray model):
£330 (£387.75 inc sales tax)
€381.95 (€448.79 inc sales tax)
£6 or £8 for shipping to UK
£18 or £22 shipping to Europe
They are out of stock until this Tuesday 4th May (they already sold out of two shipments)
Second cheapest seems to be from play.com at £399 including tax and shipping.
Have you seen cheaper? What about in your country?
BTW: The best Class 6 SD Card deal I found so far was at scan.co.uk. A 16GB class 6 card for £46.98 (£55.20 inc sales tax) - catalog number LN32727 - but it's status is on pre-order at the moment
apparently 3uk have it for £350 on payg...
In Romania you can get as low as 422Euro (VAT included) SIM-Free from online retailer CEL.ro
On contract you can get it at 199Euro and 48E/month, or 229Euro with 32E/month fee at Vodafone that includes unlimited data plan (for 2 years subscription).
In Switzerland, no EU VAT, ~ €347

I can confirm this as I have one in my pocket. In store that is, it's not on their website. It came unlocked and unbranded. HTC are currently supplying them with SIM free Desires, however this may well change at some stage.

Okay - That's >12% cheaper than Clove (after tax & shipping)! 350 is the record cheapest for the UK so far.
Here in Luxembourg it is 409€ unlocked. You can buy it at any LuxGSM Shop.
phonemania.co.uk has second cheapest price for htc desire.... including VAT it costs 385 GBP which includes shipping.... just check it out...
I bought my desire from 3 on payg for £349.99
he hehe i bought mine locked to t-mobile BUT
the handset was meant to cost me £124 + £15pm x 18months however they didnt charge me for the phone at all which means my phone costs £270+ costs of unlocking which are about £15 at t-mobile == £285
Italy: 430 is the most cheap I've seen but out of stock, 440 plus shipping can be found I think. shipping costs in Italy are quote steep, around 10-15 €
by the way is the dark grey model nice?

3 now want you to buy a £20 topup with every purchase which makes this £370 now, not so cheap. (just called them as was going to buy one for the missus).

The guy asked me to buy a £10 top-up, which wasn't an issue as I gave this to my brother and he gave me the £10 back! (He's on 3 PAYG). So mine cost me £350
Even still, if you buy the £10-£20 top-up and throw it away, it's still the cheapest you can pick one up!
If you get stuck I'm sure some one on these boards will give you £10 for a £20 top-up.
I bought mine through Orange France, then promptly debranded and unlocked it.
Here is their absurd pricing scheme...
479€ tax included without contract
379€ tax included with a prepaid sim card -- the thing is you can just chunk or sell the simcard the second you get it, they dont even activate it. Just hand it to you and ring you up at the register.
Why anyone would pay 479 is beyond me

If it's a topup that can be applied to any 3 sim then that is different as don't mind that as can sell it. I thought they would want to use it on the one they give you.

They print you off a top-up voucher code. I imagine this can be applied to any 3 (UK) PAYG sim, however I don't think my brother has used it just yet - he's waiting for his current allocation of internet to expire.
in italy 469€ without contract from bow.it
469 € in Belgium too.
Around 500€ here in Norway.
Hi Guys,
I've fried the mobo on my A100, now im looking for replacemnt mobo to get somewhere.
And now i have a simple (possibly stupid) question:
can i use a mobo from A500 ?
note that it does not have to fit in the case.. i use it i my car as gps and etc... and all i need it to do is jusbt work.
Any thoughts on that ?
Thanks
i've been looking through some pics and it seems that its different in size for sure and what worse is that it does not have same connectors.. so i can not interchange perts.. or at leaset that what it looks like..
if you have different info please let me know.
I bricked a100, i find 16gb motherboard mb.h6s00.001 in china, in taobao, 70€ + ship and i buy with yocomproporti.com, because all is in language chinese.
thanks man.. i just wrote to yocomproporti to see how much and how quick can i get the part to spain ))
At least twenty days to ship, i'm waiting for the mobo.
That's awesome! Make sure to let us know how it works!

Yeah,of course, I think they are used, but if they work worthwhile, 16gb price and size, if the 8GB costs $ 120 + shipping. Release the Nexus7 morning.
jorge
dude,
i think i gona go via www bhiner com
they are abit more automated and i still did not get a reply from the other one (2 days now) ...

I got several hits in Google for part # mb.h6r00.001 (8gb model) one as low as $89.99 on eBay. I couldn't find much for the 's' part number (16gb).
I am currious why you don't just buy another a100 used somewhere. I see them all the time online for about $120 on craiglist and ebay. It would save on a lot of waiting time and uncertainty about whether it works or not.

I agree. I was giving some useful info on what's out there. Some people may want to just see if they can fix it, or just like tinkering. If it is as easy as remove, install and flash a stock ROM, I don't know, but if somebody tries and succeeds they may save a few bucks and gain some knowledge. And give another option to those with bricks and no warranty. It would be interesting on how the new boards internal memory comes and what it takes to get it up and running.
This involves: warranty void in Spain by buying U.S. and unlock the bootloader. Price: € 350 repair, change mobo.
Buy mobo used ebay $ 89 + shipping to Spain =? + Time.
Buy new mobo $ 120 + shipping to Spain =? + Time.
Buy Mobo 16gb buy in taobao, 60 € +20 € shipping, paypal and broker commission yocomproporti.com.
The time ranges from 15 to 30 days. not hard to change, we must be careful with the connectors combs.
My opinion is it worth putting the 16GB instead of 8GB, one price, the 16GB is 50 € more expensive than 8gb, faster and space(-weak data and apk). know if they are new, used or refurbished, but only paypal claim.
And which option you choose?

Personally I would go with what is cheapest and from a good seller. I took as quick look on eBay/eBay.UK, and the cheapest I could find a refurbished a100 is about 200€ (shipped to spain) that's not including any taxes. With refurbs being that high in your area it might be best to repair it. I wouldn't worry about the memory size, that can be worked around. Check the return policy from thee sellers most have 30 days.

I ordered the black one with 25% coupon 'CYBER13' and free shipping on Blueshop.
http://www.blueshop.ca/lg-flip-cover-black/4A22A16587A.htm
Code:
LG Flip Cover (Black) for Nexus 5 CAD 49.99
Ships around 12/4
Subtotal CAD 37.49
Shipping & Handling CAD 0.00
Sales Tax 5% GST 9.975% PST CAD 5.61
Total CAD 43.10
I grabbed one myself for $42.36. Gotta luv that free shipping. Saved over $20 by not going to Playstore.
Here's a different quick cover.
Any place that ships internationally ?
Any news?
mobilefun sell these in the UK.
Works out cheaper than buying from Google Play too. £35 plus £1.99 postage. You can also use Quidco to get 8% cashback and there are voucher codes available online to give another £5 discount. They have them in stock today - just ordered one.
OP,
Are you trying to get it cheaper, or just find somewhere to buy it in location?

Give it a week or two then price will drop if you looking to buy it pay as you go, otherwise ebay is the only option. Price wise based on spec is reasonable
I have ordered mine from amazon.co.uk
I am trying to get one from japan i believe they already have it there now. If i manage to get one from there i will cancel the amazon order
I have been waiting for the LGG4 for a long time, really looking forward to this device
I know you want this phone badly, and rightly so it's truly amazing.
But I would wait, the great deals don't start to surface until a week before release. You won't be able to get the phone any earlier than 28th May so just stay strong! :highfive:
Mobile Phones Direct have it as in stock available for delivery tomorrow on their website. Deals with EE and Vodafone, showing SIM free for £489.00 including delivery. Not bad. http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/shopping-basket
hope the link works, posting from phone.

hi there
i want to buy oneplus 3 and i wonder why on amazon and other sites the phone price is about 150$ higher
and what's the difference between if i buy it from oneplus site or another site like amazon or ebay or gearbest
and i wonder about if there will be any more fees for the shipping and how much time will it take to arrive to Morroco (africa)
and if they will give me a tracking code
you know you can try to put it in the cart and proceed until the shipping cost shows up right? without having to complete the order..
and yeah they did give me a tracking number
yeah i've tried that's after i made this post and been suprised to find out that's they don't support worldwide shipping
I'm in the US. When I ordered my OP3 directly from OnePlus, the standard shipping option was free of charge. However, I chose to pay the $10 to upgrade to faster shipping and received my phone in two business days. So, I paid $USD 410 in total to get my device in two days. It shipped from California.
If you're in Europe or Hong Kong, be aware that sales are being suspended from August 9 to September 12, so get your order in soon if that applies to you. Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/information-on-oneplus-3-availability-in-europe.458234/
