Hey guys I have an international S3 right now to avoid paying 30/month on ATT and to have real unlimited data.
I paid about 730 or so for my S3, and have noticed the note II on clove is 588 USD after shipping. I have 2 upgrades on my ATT account, and plan on keeping ATT for a long while unless something crazy happens with them. All carriers are about the same in US and I am in the military so I can't go with a carrier that works in the city only.
What I was wondering is should I snag the internaitonal note for 600 bucks (could sell my GS3 for 5 at least) unlocked or should I use an upgrade and get one from ATT?
Another thing I was thinking about (since my wife isn't getting the iphone 5, which frees an upgrade up) is using my 2 upgrades on S3s and selling them on ebay, thoughts?
PS iirc the note was 300 with a new contract right?
Just looked on Clove, and the Note 2 is definitely more than $600 USD. Where are you seeing that price?

It is 444 UK Pound which it is about $712 USD.
i don't think the UK uses the Pound any more. i think they all switched to Euro. i could be wrong, though.

Yes, you're wrong. Euro extends slide against Pound and Dollar
Oops yeah it is in pounds. Regardless. I'd only be paying 200 or so after my S3 got sold, so which would make more sense? Upgrade via ATT and ETF or retail via ATT or retail international?
don't you have to pay VAT too? which is nearly USD856 + shipping + import duty

Hi All,
Finally gonna leave my hermes for a new machine.
What quotes have you guys been finding online or at shops for the Rhodium?
Online, I saw a US site pre ordering at $749.99 and a UK site preorder at £517.95
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2753
Also http://www.expansys.com/ is quoting the t-diamond 2 for £411, so maybe its going to be just below £500?
hopefully the recession will help htc to price it lower
no one wanna play guesstimate?
ok att version $500 when it comes out and then $300 with several discounts and contract ****. wait wait $499.99 and $299.99 us loves to think that makes it less LOL

Here's my 2 pence worth
I have been searching and from a UK perspective mobile phones direct have the Pro2 and Diamond2 listed for pre-order.
Their picture of the phone has a free label in the corner.
Judging from what I have seen I am hoping the pricing will be very similar to the HD. If it is then I am going to be as happy as a pig in s***. As soon as the Pro2 is released i'm having one (it also ties in quite nicely to when my contract is up also )

High-end phones seem to be more expensive at the moment with the N97 on Play at a SIM free price of £600.
$299 for Rhodium
$199 for Diamond2
After rebates with 2year contract
When it comes to Sprint in Q3 of this year!
Since the Fuze for ATT was around $350 on release im guessing about the same for the Fuze 2 or TP2 w.e you wanna say lol

Where did u find this info?
I have had my HD for about 2 months and will sell it right now and keep my old Kaiser until this phone comes out. Maybe get it from the UK in May when it is due to drop over there.
I think price will be similar to HD when was launched (Hope is less!!)
Price, well it's bad thing. More than 500 euro, less than 750 euro e.g 600-650 euro unlocked, without contract, nobrand....
I read your post quick, the 500 and 300 but then wait wait 499.99 and 299.99 I dunno what it is but it seems..cheaper, its a mental thing or something...LOL..after looking at it I was like its a 1cent difference but mentally that 299.99 seems cheaper than 300, man they have programmed us stores do it too alot of crap is 19.99 never $20

i wonder what t-mobile will want on july 22 when it's supposed to be released
i'm hoping $299.00 with a 2yr. contract existing customer. it will probably be more like $399.00 though

I gues it will be free in Holland with a 2 year 40 euro a month contract by T-Mobile and will come down to a 30/35 euro a month contract in a few months.
It is already showing at expansys.co.uk for £524 estimated to be in on the 5th of june

I'm plannin on gettin it with Vodafone.
1 year contract. 27.50 a month + Data-plan = 37.50 a month, and the first 6 months 20% discount so that would be:
First 6 months 32 euro a month, and last 6 six months 37.50 a month.
And then I need to pay something like 295 euro for the TP2
i have a pretty simple question. im really intrested in buying a touch pro 2. online i see at the clove technology website it cost 429 Euros. when i convert it using a standard online conversion it comes out to roughly 600 american dollars but when i click the small dollar icon on the website it estimates it at 700 American dollars. at what price would it eventually come out too? i mean it is a hundred bucks difference! maybe someone who has shopped there before could clear this up a bit. i live in the us by the way
You can ask the people at clove technology? or search a shop in the US?

bought it there myself, really fast service. got it in 2 days... considering where I live
dam you guys just really cleared up alote for me thanks a mil
Do you guys think $460 USD for a new one is a good deal for it? Thanks!
I can tell you that mine with a contract from T-Mobile was $396 taxes and shipping. I simply renewed with a new 2 year contract to get that price. Still not happy with the cost, but it was still cheaper than getting one with a German QWERTZ keyboard ( since I live in Germany and have T-Mobile in the US, too).
Oh... Hmmm, well, I'm getting it from T-mobile too, except without a contract. I think without contract should make up for it, no? Since I'm on prepaid.
wow, that much WITH a 2 year contract? i got mine for free with an 18 month one

If it´s unlocked and with no contract price is ok I think.
If you have the link where I can get it one for that price please post it here!
Sorry no link. I'm using craigslist.
Not a bad deal at all. I paid $540 shipped overnight for mine unlocked. Wasn't brand new but it basically was. Hardly used, 10/10 condition, box and all accessories. I wish I couldve paid just $460 haha ... hell, if you don't like it, you can always resell it for $100+ more than what you paid.

Do a quick search of the forum. I just ordered mine today for $149 ... No activation, free shipping...
Paying more than $150 isn't a good deal...
I´m sure prices will drop waiting all this fever of getting it first!
So if there is no rush for having it, waiting always is better.
Damm, I can´t wait to have one

many people here not realizing how lucky they are with the subsidized price from operators... *although by partially selling your soul to them on contract *
i can confirm shadixs experience cuz I paid around that much too. but in our cases, it's price after tax and includes after-sales warranty. we can buy through ebay, or imports, but no after-sales...
you paid 655, is it included warranty... sir?
peid 600
paid 600 Euros without a contract.
Everz single Euro was worth it !!!!

May I ask where you purchased one for £350? I'm in the market for one once I've sold my HTC Hero tomorrow.
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.
Networkingrus.com seems like the cheapest place at the moment - coming in at $669.99 for both colors. I am ready to pull the trigger but waiting for the announcement in 2 days, hoping the price drops especially if the US Variants are similar spec'd with LTE added.
Any other places I'm not aware of? I'm in CA, so newegg is out of the question after taxes.

In case you're in a cave today, there is an ebay deal of the day selling the WHITE one for $590 + Tax in CA.
This is a heck of a deal if you want the white one considering if you buy the phone from T-mobile it will be $300 (and if you want to cancel your contract from Tmo it will be $300 ETF + $50 for 1 month service + Tax AND a lot of hassel).
