i want to buy from canadagsm.ca the glide and send it to a family member who's living there. is anybody here bought from them? and more important is the IMEI of their phones are generic ones? (i know they sell an unlock version of the phone, so it can be unlocked with generic IMEI).

Hey taiber,
I just bought my (locked) glide from canadagsm with no issues. It was kinda sketchy as it came in a galaxy s2 box with only spanish instructions for the s2, but it shipped in time and the phone works and looks great!
thanks for the answer mate,
but its strange, you said its locked? they advertised that they only sell unlocked phones.
Hi,
I bought a Samsung SGH-I927R from canadagsm.ca. It works really well.
Some things:
- they charged a little extra for shipment to Belgium, outside of Canada/US (which is ok, i guess)
- it came UNlocked (AND rooted... which was a nice extra)
- their rooting user account was still the main account of the phone when it arrived, but a factory reset fixed this -without losing the network unlock (if that was ever necessary)
- it is named 'Samsung Captivate Glide' on their site, but it seems that 'Samsung Galaxy S Glide' (which was on the box) is the name of the Rogers version.
- They shipped it with the content description 'cellular phone', so some extra import taxes were paid. :-(
- The GPS issue I read about doesn't seem a problem for me. GPS works as it should.
- The phone should be getting the ICS update, someday (as far as I know).
- The T9-predictive text input is limited to the languages relevant in Canada.
- using 'MoreLocale 2' in the google play store, I was able to add my own, custom 'locale'
- Performance of this device is really good (plays 'Max Payne Mobile', 'GTA3', N64 emulator,... all very smoothly.
Hope this helps.
thanks for the info. as i'm shiping inside canada i'm golden.
and import charges wont effect me aswell - my cousine will bring it with him.
i will buy from them in confidende.
thanks for the help guys.

From your previous messages, it looked you were going to buy from them... me I'm waiting their paypal invoice for a Note 3.
My debit card wasn't working on their website even if they said it should.
didt bought from them cos it was cheaper to buy via amazon.ca instead - my cousin choose for me. but it was over then a year ago so things chagned i presume.
I will report my experience...
I found a N900T on canadagsm for 650 CAD and I asked if if could work with wind mobile and abroad. I asked also if I can pay with debit visa. They confirmed by email. I asked to double-check even if in the ad it was the wind logo in the carriers that it can work with.
The speed of answering decreased after I tried to buy from their website and my visa debit did not work.
After several attempts they sent me a paypal invoices and I paid it on Jan 9th.
It took over 10 days to send me this unit even if it was available and they initially lied about the shipping day and the day they were able to provide tracking information.
I got this phone after 14 days on 23rd and it did not work on wind mobile, even with the settings they told me to put. I asked to be called and never got a call back, so I opened a paypal dispute to resolve.
Now they want me to send the unit back in order to get another but I replied that I prefer to get first a working unit and then I'll send back this to UPS when I get the working one.
Quite upset for that...
CandaGSM are Reliable!

I have bought many times from CanadaGSM because they offer best rates, even I have recommend my friends to buy from them :good: Reason! Once i had some issues with the purchase and they sent me return shipping tag (off-course free) and i got new cell on 2nd day. That thing really made me their fan, yes! customer services over e-mail was not promptly but they never taken my money, I got the valued thing for the Best Cheap Rates Thanks

Did you join XDA just to rate them? I see you joined yesterday and that's your first post, WOW :laugh:
Anyway, I update my experience with them...
In the end, after 1 months of problems, I got a working Note 3, just a different model. I had to send back the previous unit first thought.
They offered to add an additional screen protector and a case, but I did not get it yet.
In the end my suggestion is, if you don't care to wait to much in order to save 100$ you can buy from them, but maybe you'll have to face off some problems on the way.

I was considering buying a phone from CanadaGSM. Did a quick search on Google and changed my mind after seeing the results. As a new user I am not allowed to post links here, but a search for "beware CanadaGSM" should take you to a CrackBerry thread that I've found very enlightening. There are also complaints on other forums as well.
BTW, "Sam Cristoph" also posted to that CrackBerry thread. His post was very similar to the one above. That post was deleted, but you can still read it in quotes, along with a very good response. Go to the CrackBerry thread titled "BEWARE: CanadaGSM.ca purchase help! " and look at post #25 of that thread.

I wonder if the sale will be in stores too? I just texted the Samsung rep for my store (I work for Sears) and while he only handles TVs he normally gets updates from the tablet and phone divisions as well since we don't have a rep for them at our store. He said he hadn't heard anything yet about in store deals directly from Samsung but would let me know if he does.
No looks bad, thanks for the input!
I was looking for something.
Amazon has the 32GB units for the same price as Samsung; $549. Prime shipping.
I bought mine from Samsung this morning. Be looking for docks and accessories soon. Google shouldn't have made me wait for the Nexus 10 2.
Tiger direct has the 32gb for $519 when you use V.me by VISA at checkout. No tax in CA, free (slow) shipping

I'd like to know this also. I would expect Amazon (one of the confirmed launch stockists) to allow pre-orders as they do on pretty much everything else. But haven't seen it listed on there yet
Let me know if you manage to find it elsewhere for pre-orders, cheers!
I pre ordered from Mobilefun (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/motorola-moto-360-smartwatch-black-leather-p46710.htm) - ships as soon as stock avialable...
Clove have preorder too.
I'm concerned about pre ordering from the above sites as they are not listed as launch sellers. With how limited supply was in USA i'm not sure that these sellers will receive their stock till later than Amazon, Tesco,JL, etc.
Absolutely pointless "pre-ordering" from these sites. First, as mentioned above, there is no guarantee they will have it in stock because 1) they weren't announced as official resellers and 2) after Motorola's fail release in the US, I'm willing to bet there won't be enough stock for the official resellers let alone these third party ones.
I would add further that you are better of buying from the official resellers when the time comes because you will get better after sales support from them. For instance, I know that John Lewis offers a 2 year warranty with all their electrical products. I don't know about you but I'd much rather deal with John Lewis than Mobilefun.

Agree mostly just top clarify, I'm not saying that the resellers are bad and offer poor support, (I have personally dealt with mobilefun and expansys and both are excellent) just that with low stock I'm not expecting these guys to be the first suppliers to stock the watch.
This is my issue, I only want a pre-order that's guaranteeing launch day availability. I guess we're going to have to wait longer for some official word, that is if there are any guarnateed pre-orders at all...

Hi at all those who have pre-ordered on one of the French sites,
Has anybody already received a shipping confirmation?
On my order confirmation mail, it says "will be shipped latest by April 10". It is nowhere explicitly mentioned but I guess this also means
" earliest" as well.

Hi,
On my order it says "Your product will ship on or before 4/8/2015." and it's not already shipped.
Hey, mine was ordered on the 30 march and is still on process. The delivrery date is 21/04/2015. Let's hope they delay will not be important.

well seems to me that cdiscount sucks!!!!it was supposed to have the phone yesterday.my friend contacted with them they claimed that the reason my phone was delayed was the catholic easter.they gave us new delivery time for 12 of april wich is....sunday!!!!!i think they didnt had the phone wich they claimed to be in stock when my friend ordered it!!!!!
I don't think the retailers know themselves when they are getting them in. Its the problem with releases like this. I cant under stand while the whole of europe did not get it at the same time and why it cant be a world wide release. If they had a worldwide release date and an simple advertisement with the specs and price they would sell way more units
Darty - Delivery postponed
I preordered from Darty.com with delivery date being latest today. Yesterday I received an email saying it wasn't sent out. I called today, and they told me they didn't receive the phones, and that the new delivery date is April 26th.

I agree, such a PITA with selected places having it released at different times.
Apparently it won't even be released officially in South Africa, so I need to import it somehow. Orange store might be bringing in some stock, although so far they only have the 2GB version on their site.
The phone is priced really well for the specs and therefore will become really popular in a lot of places. I think Asus need to adjust their model numbering a bit and consider better releases next time around.
A simple change in model number would have made life so much easier. ZE550ML, ZE551ML (2GB RAM, 1.8Ghz model), ZE552ML (4GB RAM, 2.3Ghz model). Something as simple as that would have made life that much easier.
Not to mention a worldwide release. Asus are a massive company who have been releasing various products for years. They should have this waxed.
The shipping date on the French Asus Shop has chased me away from ordering via them. It kinda feel as if Asus made a few phone which they planned on releasing early on and then had plans to delay the release date for the rest of the world. Sigh.
Well, even the shipping date from the official asus shop has expired. I have no news from them. Usually I would receive an automated email on every status change of my order.
Asus was probably not prepared for such a big demand.

Hi all book with darty 1/04 and Date push, darty must receive the week of 20/04 to 26/04 phones so I ba patient.
From what I have read, there was a misunderstanding between French online shops and Asus. Asus claims the main delivery date planned was on the 20th of April to the online shops and not earlier. Meaning apart for some lucky guys who may have gotten it earlier, the ZE551ML will not be shipped until the 21st I guess.

Do you have some links for this? Wasn't there already enough confusion related to spec sheets when the preordering started? If I wanted to pre-order a device in order to receive it 1 month later, I would be buying apple products.
If this turn out to be the case, I may reconsider my choice and go for a G3 or M8.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
It has been confirmed on asus' Twitter account
Thanks for sharing the pics
Because of that, I am now considering other phones as well (G3 is among them )
Sounds like someone from the marketing division has to get fired. This already started with the chaos around having multiple configurations (in terms of CPU) sharing the same model ID. This led to all sites, including the official asus shop, listing the wrong spec sheets for a couple of days. Now the saga continues with wrong release dates communicated to the small list of exclusive retailers. A real shame. If I come across a decently priced M8, I will cancel my ZF2 order and get the M8.
There was French guy on another thread claiming that he already received his ZE551ML. Would you mind letting us know where and when you ordered it?
Mine is from the official asus shop, ordered on March 28. No news since then.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
I just received reply from Asus shop support. They say that they are unable to provide a new shipping date and they have raised the issue on a higher level, and will revert as soon as there is more information available.
In other words, somebody f'cked in regards of specs and availability communication and nobody actually has a clue about what's going on.

according to droid-life, that's the case.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/10/04/google-pixel-pixel-xl-now-pre-order/
This is the only bit of info that's available on Pixel's page.
"Pre-order Pixel and get a promo code for the Daydream View — on us"
Awesome news, I had no clue. Apparently that also applies for preorders through Fi
It actually says
Terms and Conditions
Offer applies to redemption of one Daydream View VR headset with the pre-order of a Pixel phone on the Google Store in the U.S. starting on 10/4/2016 and available while supplies last. After a qualifying purchase of a Pixel phone, a promo code will be emailed within approximately 4 weeks from the Pixel phone shipment date. The promo code must be used on the Google Store before 12/31/2016 and will expire after this date. The promo codes are not stored value, are for one-time use only, cannot be transferred to other users, cannot be exchanged for cash or cash equivalent, and have no balance after one-time use. Google Inc. is not liable for lost or stolen promo codes, or for expired promo codes that are not redeemed before 12/31/2016. To be eligible, user must be a US resident, age 13 or older, and have or activate a Google Payments account. Terms subject to applicable laws. Void where prohibited.
I just got my promotional e-mail from google mailing list that i signed up for about the pixel phones.
It says right in the text "pre-order pixel and enjoy the new Daydream View VR headset on us"
That should confirm that its a promo code for 100% off.
USA only. Nice one Google.
I ordered my phone from the Google Store right after the conference but before this email went out. I wonder if I will get a promo code or not?

I'm in the same boat. I'm sure there are many of us that ordered before the email went out. Wouldn't make sense for the first people to order to not get the free headset. Just in case, I'll have my torch and pitchfork ready to go. [emoji16]
