Universal screens in UK.

Hi, any one know where the best price for a Universal LCD screen in the uk, not the touch part. Supply only. I know there are some on ebay, but was wondering if there was any cheaper you guys knew of.
Cheers
Chris

The best deals that you will be able to get will be straight from china. Try and do a search using the part number on google and by searching the first 5 pages you should be able to come up with at least 5 solid links. Many businesses seem sketchy b/c you can only pay through WU but you must take the risk to get the reward.

hi, tron, if you need the lcdscreen with a cheap price, please contact me.

did you contact eric429? did you get the screen if so what price?

Where are the cheapest Desires?

I already have one, and I love it. So does my family, they all want one. I've been asked to search for one for my mother.
I got mine from Clove when it came out for 330, which ended up being roughly $600 Australian, a fantastic deal. I'm just curious to know, after a few months, where people have been getting them and whether they've been cheaper elsewhere.
Also, if possible, where I might find a cheap Silver model for around the same price (it would make it easier to tell the second one apart). All the expansys models end up totaling $700-$800 which is way too much.
Thanks in advance.

checkout Handtec.com, i found their prices to be the lowest, and they ship worldwide!

Ok cool the handtec shop has the phone for a tiny bit less.
How about the silver one? I found one on a European website and I couldn't read the shipping information but the phone was ~$700 AUD. Anyone know of a better price getting around?

I think you mean pdashop.nl and they say that they have an exclusive deal with HTC for that, but I don't think they ship to Australia

[Q] Unlocked Xperia Play for $229.99... legit?

Copy & Paste/Type into Google:
"boost electronics shop" xperia
Can anyone confirm if this online seller is a legitimate business, and that there's not a catch I'm overlooking due to my trigger finger itching close to my money?
If this is real, I'm completely disregarding the AT&T version coming soon.
$229.99 seems like a damn good price, considering my brother just got a PSP Go for $99.

i wouldnt trust it
prices are to cheap
call them lol +44 703 185 3689
i wouldnt go for it you cant even buy using google check out paypal etc they just want your card info
more info there in the uk

Ask them if they are on ebay and if not then probably fake. I always use Ebay for the paypal insurance.
One guy was selling Ipad 2s cheap. LOL I god an email warning from Kijiji (Sale website) saying it's likely fraud.

Motorola Atrix lapdock from At&t store.

I was browsing around the store and I asked them if they had any in stock and they said they had one, the employee went to get it and told me the price and I almost fell over, they wanted $299 for it. Then the manager approaches me and says if you buy that today I will give you 10% off.
I thought these were being sold cheaper in the stores, not that high.

Haha, that's Hilarious. I'd start laughing my ass off.

the cheap price was online only, I believe. but people were able to get it at the stores at the low price when they showed proof of online purchase.
or something like that.

I tried to hold back the laughter in front of the manager, I shook my head and said thank you if I need to purchase one of these I will more than likely be doing so online.

seems typical of retailers.

I picked up a refurbished one from all4cellular...

I'd laugh at that price too. However, still better than on the Motorola website for $499.99. Unfortunately you can't get it on the AT&T website anymore. I was fortunate to get one when they were selling them for $50. Your best bet is to go with what anothersmith did and get one from all4cellular.

I bought one in the AT&T store about 3 weeks ago. The quoted me $99, and when I asked if there was anything else he could do, the manager took 25% off, for a final price of ~75 + tax. He told me that these docks are collecting dust, and they weren't even sure if they had any to sell when I first asked.
I think if you go to another store, or hit another manager up, you should be able to get a comparable deal. Good luck!

Yeah same here. I bought my in January and it was $99, well after they ran out online. The store was even running a buy one get one half off on all the other Atrix Accessories (excluding the Lapdock unfortunately).

I wasn't aware at&t stores could vary their prices. That's pretty good of them.
Btw, how was the quality and service of allforcelluar. Considering buying there if I can't get a better d

$400 from expansys or $445 from google play? Which should I do?

Hi,
I am ordering yet another gnex. Got the docomo version over a month ago from negri for 460. Has been great and gave it to my mom who lost her iphone
I want to order from google play but in terms of final price, due to taxes and shipping, its about 40$ more than the one on expansys and supposedly the expansys one is from the UK with yakju build. So I don't see why I would go with the google play version since its exactly the same basically and expansys supposedly is very good with warranty support.
Part of me wants to order from google to show support for the direct sales and also for US warranty though.
Anything I'm not thinking of?

In my opinion, I support direct store for US warranty. I have heard expansys sends warranty phones back to UK for repair. It is going to take weeks vs. 2 days shipping to U.S. repair center. In addition, it's going to be easier for you to claim extend warranty through various cards.

I went with google play just for the piece of mind of having the US warranty.
Plus like you said, I want to support direct sales of devices in the US, hopefully this will be a trend so we do not keep getting raped by our carriers.

Yeah, the mobile activist in me wants to get it from google play, but the businessman in me says get whats cheaper. In all honesty, I am not really worried about the warranty issue. Its more the idea of supporting the contract-free thing. But at the same time, it feels weird giving a "donation" to a corporation, haha.

Go with Google Play. They just got raped by XDA returning 10 million purple screen phones in 1 week.

If I had the choice I'd go with Google, that way you know you can guarantee it being a yakju build and (most likely) better customer support if the phone were to go bad for whatever reason.

Go w/ Google Play. If you actually do get a lemon / have problems down the line, you will be very thankful, trust me.

What do you mean purple screens? I saw something about that but does that have to do with a large percentage of the phones that google is selling directly in the US? Or is it just a few? And in any case, super amoleds just have wierd colors. You either love or hate it.
Thanks for everyone's opinions. I think I will just go with google, put my money where my mouth is.

I meant that Google probably lost whatever margin they had on the Nexus by paying for overnight shipping on all those "defective" phones (not sure if they had to pay Samsung for returning all those opened units), so they probably need your donation.
That said, it also illustrates what that extra $45 will get you (excellent support, free shipping, etc.), especially if you plan on getting 3rd party insurance/warranty which can cost you up to $100-$200.

So that batch with screen issues has been resolved by now?

I would go with Google Play. You can get a SquareTrade or ZaggSafe or whatever 3rd party warranty service you want with it. You can't if you order from Expansys. I ordered mine from Expansys and I'm very happy with the phone, minus the lack of extended warranty, but I ordered my wife one from Google and her screen is a little better than mine. When comparing the two, mine has a very very slight yellow tint to it, it's very slight and not really an issue, but side by side, it is noticeable.

Or have a buddy from a state that doesn't have sales tax (i.e. Oregon) and have them buy through the Play store then ship it to you. saves about 40 bucks in tax.
But either way I don't mind paying the extra for the US warranty. I'll never know when it'll save my ass. Good luck.

Or you could order from Negri.

$412.50, no tax, full warranty. This one isn't the Docomo version I don't think.

This thread makes me wonder now. I was about to pull the trigger on Google Play, but the white one on eBay can be purchased for $470 including shipping. Hmmm $440 for the gray, or $470 for the white?

Definitely from the Play Store, can't beat the 2 day shipping from UPS. Also, direct sales from Google will definitely keep the unlocked phones coming, and tell the carriers to **** off with the BS rates/contract prices.
