Where to buy HTC One X (Unlocked)

I found that the best deal so far is being offered by expansys UK. They are bundelling krusell screen protector with the device too.
Price for me will be £396.94 / $643.
Any knows where I can get a better deal?

Handtec has it for $631 and you'll get it overnight. It'll also be a UK phone vs. Malaysian which is what Expansys has been shipping. If you're rooting and ROM'ing it won't make a difference. Also, if you need warranty repairs, you have to send your phone to Expansys who then sends it to an overseas affiliate who sends it to HTC. If you buy it in the UK your warranty is with HTC directly.

I found a deal also on Plemix.com for $605
another deal also on SGbest.com for $619

Sorry but Plemix's price is $599
anyone tried those sites before??
do you know which version do they sell??

I got mine from Amazon. Not the cheapest, however, you'll get your device overnight, the support is good, and you have 30 days time to return your Device without a reason, even if it is unlocked. If you want to get a Replacement, they send you the replacement overnight, and you can send your old phone back in the same package the new one came in. This is quite helpful if you have a one x with problems...

Plemix is legitimate, I used to get my phones from them. Their company should be located in HK, so I would guess the version should be asian. E-mail them to check, I remember them being pretty good at responding back.

have you ever tried them?

Are you asking about Negri? I placed an order with them over the weekend the one x first came out and didn't even get an acknowledgement, though my amex payment went through. When I emailed on Monday, I was told sorry nothing available and they had no idea when stock would come in. So I cancelled my payment through Amazon and got an immediate email saying oh gee they had one for me but it would cost $70 more to ship. I said no and ordered from Expansys. Have been happy with my one X since. I don't like being jerked around and won't deal with Negri again.

someone in another thread said expansys is selling the malaysian model??? i don't know. the one i received came in a box that said taiwan, indicating taiwan production and system language choices were all european. in fact, american english was not an option - so i downloaded morelocale2 to get that. there is the option to use keyboards from a larger group of languages that include asia.
i would check with expansys re model being sold, as i imagine that could change depending on what's available in the supply chain.
i should add that in another thread another uk retailer was listed. i am sorry, i can't remember the name.

[q] can anyone recognise the reciept and tell me the chain store name?

hello guys,
i am from the uk and nexus 7 isnt available here until september atleast. So i asked a friend to get it for me. She sent me a reciept in which extra taxes are also added. i heard people buying 32gb for as low as 233 where i got it for 289. She bought it from Lakevlle Minnesota. Can anyone tell me the store name from the reciept?

Reward Zone = Best Buy
Looks legitimate.
---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------
The $230 may have been from Staples during the short time that they honoured a $30 coupon.

thanks alot for your quick reply mate.
However, there is still a sale at office max with 20 percent off. As i am more than happy to get nexus sooner than most of the world, i do not really care about the money.
I heard people call best buy n negotiate with them to get refunds. Is it true and if that is applicable?

Yeah that's legit and the regular price of the 32gb Nexus 7. People who are getting it for $233 were probably getting it at Office Max with the 20% off coupon that's been floating around on the forums here.
Edited to add: Yes Best Buy will price match things. But I'm pretty sure your friend would have to go to the store and show them the receipt along with the 20% off coupon. I don't think Best Buy would do it over the phone.

Best Buy. You can read the inverted logo that would be on the back. All good. Sure Office Max has a coupon but getting it takes work. I don't even think office max is accepting the coupon and you have to basically con other stores to price match.
So be happy someone did you a favor. Everything is good now.

Yes, I am thinking the same thing. I am getting nexus for 290 dollars which is more than 229 (350) quids that i will pay in the UK. Still not a bad choice. Although, best buy says it will match the price on its store and I will talk to her and see where it goes. The receipt says 4th August, so is the coupon valid by then or not (OfficeMax) ? I wouldnot have a problem if she can't. Cheers again

I bought my Nexus the day BestBuy released them early (July 26). When the 20% Office Max coupon was released, I was able to just bring the coupon and my receipt to the service desk and have the manager adjust the price. Saved me $54 pre-tax.
EDIT: BestBuy will do any price adjustments up to 15 days after purchase, so your friend should be good. The Office Max coupon expires on August 10th and can be found by googling for Office Max 20% Printable Coupon.
The coupon just needs to be printed and you need the original receipt. Also, I had to go to Best Buy service desk because the transaction is something that must be authorized by a manager.

Ironically, I drove by this exact best buy last night! There was a crazy rain storm here in MN yesterday, and there was this area of road that was rather flooded. Had a fun time driving through it Then we went to the Chili's that is next to this best buy! I had even thought about going in before hand to check out the N7, but it was closed by the time we got there.

Ordering outside the US

So I don't live in the US and thinking of pre-ordering the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 from Amazon. I have a US address but I just want to make sure if I can use it if I'm not located in the US? There aren't any international usage restrictions, is that correct? Plus, the one listed on amazon is the Wi-Fi only model, right?

In my investigation research I have not seen anything other than the wifi edition.

Yes, you can order for Frys.com, but they charge $80 international shipping. I will either do that or drive to a Best Buy in the US and pick one up.

Then you'll have to either pay the huge shipping price or drive, which is a days journey as it would be like 6-8 hours round trip. Maybe you could find something to do and stay overnight in the US lol. Or you could wait until November for it to be released in Canada, which is too long for me!

Same here. My prime was due in a few months. I would have paid for that anyways. So essentially $100.00 in my scenario.

I paid £99 and I am really happy with the phone. Probably deserves more than others and hopefully at some point there is any new door open for developtment!

Edit. Sorry I thought you bought on Amazon and then they dropped the price. My bad.
phone replying.
Call Amazon and tell them they should price match. Or you could have cancelled and reorded right then. They don't charge you until it ships I believe.

$179 with a year of Prime. Honestly, if I hadn't been able to install Google Play, I would have returned it.

Where to buy

At the moment this beast is only available to buy outright from carfone warehouse for a whopping £2299.99 no change here been waiting for this for a while now just hope they offer it on contract soon.

I purchased at Clove last week with Paypal. Less than $200 over list.
Good Morning
I emailed yesterday to say that we have been offered some stock from another source, but it is a higher price – now £2010.00 as updated on our website.
Would you like to pay the extra amount and have a phone dispatched to you in the next 2 days? We cannot guarantee that we will be able to get any of the lower priced stock. Apologies for this situation.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated during this period of crisis.

Out of topic i see you located in US ! How is the phone ? Whats your previous device ?

It works great on ATT. Using stock apps without difficulty. Messaging, voicemail,
contacts, maps, G mail, Google searches all work in apps provided. Had to add Gboard apk to get a keyboard I liked. Personal preference. Provided Swift keyboard is pretty nifty. Also have a Galaxy fold. Used Phone Clone to transfer contacts and whatever from Galaxy fold.

Nice ! Thank you, i also sold my galaxy fold, got pixel 4xl sold it today., and ordered Mate XS. Google is only keyboard to go I agree...the only thing i see no one can’t sign in in to google maps....I guess time to use Waze...and its sucks
