So I'm getting ready to purchase a desire z nam to use on att 3g bands. Just curious where people have bought theirs from. I was going to buy from negri electronics but they don't accpet Paypal, which I would like to use so that I can pay straight from my bank account.
I googled and found this...http://www.newayci.com/detail/1220/HTC_A7275_DESIRE_Z_NAM/
Has anyone purchased from newayci before? I checked their ebay account and it looks legit but I'd love to hear from anyone that actually bought a desire z from them.
Thanks in advance
Most 3rd party retailers in Canada (Bestbuy, Futureshop, Visions, etc.) are selling the Bell NAM Desire Z with no contract/activation/hassle at all. I understand thats not the easiest if you're no where near Canada, but if you are close to the border or know anybody up here its a pretty easy way to get one. I got mine for $475CAD, unlocked it and use it on Telus in Canada. Bell, Telus and Rogers all use the same 3G bands as AT&T.
I hate to say this But, try Ebay.
P.s I got mine desire z Brand new for $450

I bought my captivate from newayci dot splash, shipped next day and best of all the taxes are included in the quoted price. Now I would buy the extended warranty from them as mine is a US model (AT&T), so i cant register it with Samsung Canada.
Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?
We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).
I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

Agreed, but id put the limit at about 5 inches. Anything more and id feel like im talking on a tablet.
I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.
£10 cheaper
Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

Yes pre ordered, currently love my SGS2 but I like new toys to play with been saving up for a new phone I know the SGS3 is due soon (will see how that fairs after I've got my HTC).
I'm use to 4.3" can't go smaller, I love the Galaxy Note so think the size of the One X shouldn't be an issue.

Ok I bit the bullet and placed my order with Carphone warehouse! 9 days and counting (hopefully!)
still considering. if fafsa continues my college loans I will sell my galaxy s2 for half the money, but if not, I'm selling my car and my phone. I wont need a phone at all.

I signed up for a new contract with Orange from the Carphone Warehouse...
Didn't heard anything about being accepted so I emailed them and they confirmed I've been successful with Orange
Yaaaay, I can't wait!
I'm hoping it's delivered on release day! 5th April?
I hate Yodel though, why oh why does anyone use yodel to deliver parcels!?!?!?!

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.
Ordered mine from clove this afternoon. £500 including vat and next day delivery. Now for the cases and Sim card cutter!

My contract expires in a weeks time, and I will be changing carriers and upgrading to a new LTE handset (most likely a Razr HD). I am trying to decide if the DZ is worth putting on ebay or not, I have watched a few DZ auctions and they are lucky to go for $100 these days, and that's for stock rom handsets, mine is probably worth even less as its running CM7.2.
I can't believe I paid $650 for the handset 24 months ago, talk about depreciation. What is everyone else doing with their DZ handsets? keeping or selling, I don't really need another old phone sitting in my draw but $100 seems like such a waste of a great qwerty smartphone.
I would keep it myself but I'm also the type of person that would snatch up that phone for $100. I'm Happily using a 3 yr old N1 I paid $115 for a few months ago from a member on here.

I would say it depends on your phone's condition. If it looks fine then you should sell it. If running on stock make it more desirable, then maybe unroot the phone if that's not too much work for you?

it's more like overly marked-up. The Nexus 4 and the iPad mini is sold for about 150% hardware cost and they are still at half of that $650 price.
Dude would be willing to trade for a G2?
I have two htc G2's, and want to trade one for a Desire Z??

Interested in buying my Desire Z? Its an unbranded and unlocked GSM model which I purchased outright from Handtec in Nov 2010, it has heaps of accessories such as:
Desktop dock charger
Additional original HTC battery
Black rubber case
Authentic PDair leather case
Original HTC earphones and charger (UK plug like all handtec stock)
I still have the box and receipt
I would sell it for $100 (AUD) plus freight, which is fair I think considering the above accessories cost me well over $100.

The condition is not bad, like not perfect the rear battery door is a bit scratched but you can replace them easily and there is a couple scratches on the corners and a few surface scratches on the gorilla glass as I didnt use a screen protector over the last few months, you can only notice them on certain angles though.
I dont really have the time to unroot the phone, if it was worth more I would probably find time.

Nah mate not interested, I thought the G2 was the same a DZ anyway?
I think shipping would be expensive as I'm in Canada. But I will check.

Dont sell DZ You can also give a cool gift to someone
Thread moved to Q & A section.
on PAYG it costs more than a s3.
on contract it costs either equal to the s4 or MORE than the s4 depending on the provider.
When I rang vodafone to query why they charge more for the s4 mini than the s4 they said due to demand.
Is a shame this phone doesnt have mhl out, otherwise it would be a beast. As I see it kept a fm radio which the full s4 doesnt have.
Do other countries have it cost more than the s3 (and s4)?
Not here in Singapore! I don't know any other S4 Mini users around here actually. :/
350€ in Germany. Quiet similar to a s3.
I got mine I9192 off UK eBay for £285

I got a GT-I9195 from UK eBay for £300, you just need to shop around.
Here in Sweden S4 mini and S3 are pretty much on par with ~375€ / ~$500 in the established shops.
However the s4 mini was much more expensive at the release date and the price dropped approx 25% in one month! I really noticed the heavy price drop. Possibly an intended strategy from Samsung.
Here in the UK the cheapest I've seen from a trustworthy provider is £21 pm..Cheapest I've seen from the internet is 16.23pm on dialaphone. Not sure if I should go for the dialaphone one as it has mixed reviews :/ If anyone has ordered from there before please tell me if they're dodgy, thanks!
Hmm I thought this phone would be a lot cheaper in UK. Here in Sweden you get it for £9 / 24 months with contract. If you buy it cash it costs £235.
Gernany Hamburg, 429€ in July
and i think it is worth.

yeah thats under half price on contract. your price seems more realistic, here in the uk I think they alter pricing on popularity, if something sells well then regardless of spec and cost pricing is pumped up. here in the uk the s3 mini and s4 mini phones are extremely popular outselling the flagships.
Just bought mine from Facebook for sale, free or wanted for £250. Did have Xperia Z before and prefer this phone.

i did't want to open a new thread so i'll ask here...
I'm from Croatia and i think we will not get the DUAL SIM version here. We recently joined the EU so if i buy it anywhere from Europe, it will be tax free.
My only condition is that it's dual sim and that it's unlocked for all networks.
Could you advise from where can i order it online for the best price?

Ebay UK, it costs about £270-280
Got it for 400 Euro.
Carphone Warehose £329.
I bought mine from there, I like to be able to walk into a local shop if i have any issues, and will pay a bit extra for that. I think, when considering the price, that it's worth remembering that this is a really well performing LTE enabled phone. I think it's worth every penny. I also have an HTC One, and it easily feels as snappy day to day as my One, just not as big and heavy.
I have found an almost new Moto Z Play on eBay for £238, is this still a good buy? I have a Nexus 6P and the battery is beyond bad, I wand decent performance, screen and headphone audio, plus amazing battery life. I can't find it brand new anywhere in the UK (apart from for £338 on Amazon). So would I be stupid to buy it for £238 from eBay? I've heard that the performance is deceptively good for a mid-ranger!
Thanks.

I'd say its still a good buy as a phone yes. Try looking on swappa too and see if you can get a lower price
I was in John Lewis MK and they were selling it for £260 sealed last month.
I've had a look online and no retailers have it now I think last month was pretty much the last month it was sold.
Just checked, they sell almost every moto phone but the Z play!
Let me know if you see one anywhere?
I bought mine from here and it was boxed not sealed but in excellent condition dual sim version.

I am so glad you sent that, that is the one I saw for £238. So you can vouch for them being legit? They describe it was 'like new'.
How were they to deal with?
They only have 1 left, so if you say they were fine to deal with, I'll buy it straight away!
Bro seriously buy it. Iff it is anything like the condition mine was in its a bargain mine is like brand new all youll need is a Uk shaving adapter. The company is legit.

good luck mate let me know how you get on. I really like motorola phones because of the long battery life and amount of development they get. I previously had a lenovo p2 which is sold because of the lack of development.
Ordered. Should arrive early next week!
Should be a good replacement for my dying Nexus 6P
