Wouldn't mind knowing myself, took a punt on the LG Watch R at the weekend, which is nice but would prefer the Zen. I have it preordered at Expansys at the moment, got in while they were taking orders rather than just the register interest page they have up now.
I had some interest in LG G Watch R because of the circular display but I think the watch is a bit too chunky. Will have a look at expansys

I'm currently using the LG Watch R and had the same thoughts as you, but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be. However I still have my preorder with Expansys and will decide on which one I want to keep once it arrives. Hopefully soon!
Hi all,
I pre ordered mine here: http://www.expansys.fr/asus-zenwatch-eu-265396/
Please note I'm from France.
Anyone got any news with UK release? Hopefully comes before Christmas so I can get myself a Christmas present
Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.
they are based in HK and have some very dodgy reviews - actually rang them this morning asking whether it is uk stock and this wasn't clearly answered. I then asked about customs duty and they just said its an all inclusive price - bollox. Expect duty and RM charges on top....
I actually remember I nearly bought a camera off this lot a couple of years back but they aren't exactly truthful about location of item or taxes etc - means you'll pay customs and it'll be regarded as a grey import without warranty.
I think its sad that ASUS are dragging their feet on this. I've looked at big daddy in the US but again with their $40 fee and customs, its getting expensive!
Need an american friend to buy and send as a gift!
Anyone heard anything more on the UK release?
Avoid Simply B'S they are HK based

I decided to try se after I discussed at length where the watch was coming from (uk or abroad) , the warranty, etc. I was told it's coming from the UK. Has a UK se warranty. Ordered last week and the amount of bull I've been fed since is unreal. Been told due to amount of orders they should be able to post it by mid December! Even though they originally said 10 days..... I queried why it should even take 10 days?! They are full of sh.....
If and when it arrives, if it's not a UK warranty, I will charge it back through my credit card as I will have been mis sold the item according to trading standards. Mmm I will then follow up with trading standards and ensure they are put out of business based on their mis-sellibg practices... At least in the uk/as a UK seller.
Anyway, still no UK date grrr

Don't order from Simply Electronics. The product they have is not certified anywhere and is dodgy. They quote low prices to draw people in and you very stung after. I got taken in by the cheap price if a macbook air but it wasn't European certified or certified by America FFC. They're customer services is rubbish and they don't reply and when they do they try to get you to keep the product at a reduced cost. I had to complain through PayPal and eventually got all my money back. Lesson learnt. They are based in HK but have warehouses in UK and Europe. If you ever do order then be wary as they're not that easy in returning and will try to get away with charges to deduct from the amount you paid on receipt of a return. I would suggest you all keep away like you would with the plague!! All the reviews online are rubbish and are made up to make them look good.

Expansys have changed from a "keep me notified" page to a pre-order page. I don't know whether that's due to a site relaunch (can't recall whether I've seen that design before), or whether it's changing.
BTW, for a while now, I haven't seen Simply listed on the Google Shopping page when searching for the Zenwatch.

I pre ordered back in October but nothing since then obviously. Dunno if I should pre order again! Had a price when I first did it. £159.98 is the price that was given.
Just looked on simply be and it's on their site for pre order just under £200 - site has changed a lot since I made that horrible mistake of ordering from them a while ago.

I have a zenwatch in my possession in the UK. It was ordered from the US via Big Apple Buddy. I ordered it on Friday 5th December at around 2100, paid by PayPal and had it - with shipping & tracking information and regular updates - delivered by FedEx by 1030 on Monday 8th December.
The total cost was around $285, including service charges, but felt this was still pretty good value in the realm of early adoption, given the interminable wait for the damn thing to reach the UK.
I can vouch for the fact that Big Apple Buddy are entirely safe and reputable.
And the watch? Well worth it, especially with 5.01 sideloaded.
I looked at them^ but they came back much more expensive than this!
I've just ordered a Gear VR from Samsung US using .comGateway - very reasonable $20 plus postage.

I am in US so shipping from there is <$700 now,
is it still the cheapest now?
Will it be cheaper after 12/9 that the canadian version had come out?
Who knows if you'll have to pay customs fees... I paid the extra $50 ($764) to go with a US reseller but they're being sketchy at the moment... See my post (Negri Electronics is being sketchy).
I'd say go US but maybe not Negri.. I'm sure everything is fine but still... You could pay more than you think with credit card international fees and customs fees depending on the shipping company they use.
EDIT -- I JUST GOT MY SHIPMENT NOTIFICATION!! WHOOOOO

International pricing is pretty firm. The UK prices aren't going to be effected by whatever happens in the rest of the world. A lot of folks in the UK and EU buy their phones outright so demand is what drives pricing. The SGS2 stayed pretty firm for about four months and then started to drop a bit. It's still over $500 having been out since May. If you're importing, don't look for bargains and sales because they don't exist (through legitimate resellers). I've bought from both Clove and Handtec and was pleased with both.
Found this: http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG_NEXUS-PRIME-TITANIUM-SILVER.HTML These guys are located in Chicago and selling for $724.99. Supposedly these prices are wholesale to the public. Anyone ever dealt with this retailer before?
how much is it gonna be in Canadian GSM version?
I imported from clove.uk to the US and they were great service. Shipped on a Wednesday, got here that Friday.
Though I must say, it shipped with DHL and the packaging was kinda sketchy for a $700 dollar electronic device. It was in a plastic DHL bag and the box the phone came in was just wrapped in fine-bubble bubble wrap. No damage and it works fine, but still kinda irked me when I saw it.

I ordered two GNs from clove which arrived today. No import duties. I have a thread in this forum showing the current policy regarding importing cellphones to the US (with documentation from the corresponding government agencies).
As for the packaging, I too am a little disappointed that they only used bubble wrap and a dhl bag. The corners of the boxes where slightly damaged; however, the phone itself was fine.
I preordered mine from Handtec and the experience was awesome. I ended up paying around $700 total and somehow the phone got to me within one day!!! It was awesome to see that tracking from Fedex on the day it was shipped telling me it would be at my doorstep by the very next day before 10:30am... now that's fast, especially coming from Europe!

Popular Electronics, which is right next door to Overseas Electronics has it for $699 in store - cash only. I plan to go there this week and buy myself one. $700 is the cheapest I've seen it go for. I've bought a phone and sold a phone from them before so they're legit.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108564/IMG_4995.PNG
I decided to email Popular electronics about the Galaxy Nexus and it seems like they're willing to bargain about the tax. Chicago has ridiculous tax at 9.75% so the phone would have been $767.15. With a simple email, they were willing to do $710 flat. I'm sure when a little more persuasion, I could get them to $700 or throw in a free case. Just a heads up to all the Chicagoans. Probably pick this up this weekend.

Don't you find it kinda shady that they're cash only and are willing to negotiate to remove sales tax? lol. I'm sure its fine. Just sayin'.
That does seem odd that they have a cash only policy. Really weird for an electronics store. Maybe they have a no receipt policy too.
But back on topic, I just bought my nexus from clove last night. Order is processing and now it's just a waiting game!
Sent from my LG-P999
When paying with cash, it's always considered under the table. They probably don't file their taxes legally so it helps them when people pay in cash. Good for both parties. They're a small electronics store, nothing huge but they do carry the latest phones.
Not sure about the receipt policy, probably isn't one but as long as it's brand new, I'll be happy.

You forget about the third party. The government and all society that utilizes tax money. (Including yourself)
Taxes are there for a reason and should not be avoided by dodgy business practices.
I would check the phone out in-store to reduce your risk of having to return the device since you may not be able to.

Of course it will be checked.
Tell that to Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and so on. They all dodge taxes. What they're doing it is legal but it's effects you also. It always seems like when a little business does it, they should be shunned by their practice. The way they're doing it is probably illegal but it's still dodging taxes.

Don't assume that paying with cash is always considered under the table.
Another reason for the cash policy is that is removes the credit card processing fees for the transaction. Depending on their processor, it should be around $0.25 + 2% of the transaction amount. So on a $700 transaction, that is roughly $14.25.
(American Express' fees are around 3.5%, so the cost on that transaction is around $25).
If you are a retailer, that extra credit card fee hurts quite a bit. Think about that the next time you buy a pack of gum with your credit card.
http://truecostofcredit.com/378767
That being said, in this instance their's a good chance that this is under the table. I would much rather buy the phone on my Amex and get the additional warranty they provide. Also, why not just import it from clove for $670 rather than paying $700 cash? Makes no sense to me.

Very good point.
According to Sony, it's not officially released in US yet. So where do you guys buying it from? I see it's being sold on Amazon (US) but is that an official Sony US retailer? Others mention eBay and someone mentioned a store in the mall (DC I think?), etc. I understand Amazon merchants could be from UK or in general outside of US, the same with ebay. So, are there any official US stores that sell it? And for those who bought it in US, where you able to contact Sony support (in US) to answer your questions?

Sony.com has both models in stock now for $199.99/$219.99. I just placed my order. There appears to be a glitch right now that allows you to get the 3 year replacement/accidental damage plan for free! Add the watch to the cart, but do not select a warranty plan. Edit the warranty plan within the card and for some reason the 3-year plan is $0. I used Chrome, if that matters....

MobileFun is bad news. I ordered from them and wasn't even given a confirmation email. Very poor communication and their US phone number just rings. I had to get my credit card company involved to cancel my order. They said it was in stock when I ordered (Oct 15th) and wouldn't give me any further information on shipment or backorder status.

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...

I ordered the IceView case directly from the HTC web site along with my phone. Both items were listed on the order. I received my phone on Friday but the case was not included.
I talked to HTC customer service and they didn't know much. They said they do not have any IceView cases and they don't know when they will be getting them. I tried to speak with a manager but didn't really get anywhere (a "manager" called me back but I think it was just a normal rep pretending). Nobody was able to offer a solution and nobody could offer me any compensation. I tried a message on twitter but that also got no reply. The "manager" is supposed to call me back on Monday but I'm not holding out much hope.
Anyone else in the same boat? Has anyone been able to get more info about when the cases will be shipping?
I ordered my case on May 2, no email or tracking number as of yet. I sent them an email regarding the case with no reply yet.
It seems nobody knows when the case is coming out, including retailers, as places like Amazon UK haven't set even an estimated release date yet.
Amazon were supposed to deliver mine on 4 may but then notified me that they haven't foundb any stock yet.
Not Amazon's fault of course
Strangely it's still listed as "in stock" on the htc store.

Yes so are USB c cables (u like the 3.0.charger). I just gave up and cancelled my order after a week of waiting for an in-stock item to ship.
Just wait until other vendors have the cases etc because at this point I can't even imagine having to rma something.

I'm gonna have to order a cheapo case from Handheld Items until this Ice View arrives, I am freaking out about dropping this damned thing!
No way will I spend $50 on this case (I have been testing a device which was supplied with the case.) It's not quite as nice as the Dotview Ice cases were (although it is also not as prone to tearing at the seam....although my test case *has* torn at the seam). I'll wait until I can grab one <$20....but mostly will continue to keep my 10 in a clear TPU case, like the Fosmon or the Spigen.
Looks like the gave all the IceView inventory to T-Mobile to give away with the purchase of a new phone. That sucks that HTC isn't honoring paying orders placed a month ago but T-Mobile people will be swimming in them in a week (May 18th).

Nope, no cases at TMo in a week: "Redemption req’d by 6/20/16 at htc10offer.htcpromotions.com. Limit 1/customer; 2/household; allow 10 weeks."
Still a chance it is our free item haha

T-Mobile had a deal for a free Ice Case and a free second quick charger if you purchased on launch day or day 2...they didn't say that I wouldn't get these free extras in store and I had to fill out some online form before 5/20 (it launched on 5/18 for T-Mobile) after I finished, they said it could take like 8 weeks but SHOULD be about a month. They waited to tell me that part until after I initialled the last page!
My ice view is coming from the US. Sick of the stock issues and found a seller not charging 100's for the damned thing lolol
I ordered mine direct from Verizon last Thursday, received it Friday. Ended up shipping it back on Monday. NOT worth the money IMHO. Cover doesn't close all the way even without a screen protector, and I found the interactions to be very unresponsive.

That's quite a shame considering their dot view was amazing and worked flawlessly. Perhaps it was defective?

Mine will be here tomorrow apparently (kudos to the eBay vendor if it does! Three days is super last from the US to UK ). I will let people know my initial findings.
I just preordered from HTC for 29.95. They're having a Memorial Day Sale (40% off).

I ordered mine through Verizon in the US and just registered my 10 on the poland htc site. They said after verification of my IMEI, they're going to send my Ice view after the 1st of June. Who knows if it will work since I'm in the US.
Well if you read the title, i found a seller on ebay that is shipping from china.
The device is advertised as "A70PRO".
All in all total purchase with tax and shipping came out to USD $25.23
I'm just awaiting shipment arrival.
The specs look similar but the processor doesn't match up. Heres the link if anyone else wants to play around with this. I mean less than 30 buck and im only going to use it as a wifi router so im just hoping either its as good as it sounds or at least puts out similarly. Any who this money was from a gift card.
Let me know what you think. I couldn't find anyone anywhere posting about a "clone," so here i am.

Chinese knock off, you will be lucky if it even boots let alone has a signal (4g or otherwise).
Imagine it having a better fingerprint than the real A70
I'd DEFINITELY run an antivirus on that before using it.
I got $5 that says it's got spyware pre installed.

I wouldn't even allow it *any* connectivity til I checked it; not wifi, radio, nothing.
Never thought the a70 would be clone-worthy tbh
after seeing all the $100-$200 clones on Youtube reviews. i doubt a $25 clone will even stay powered up.
I unfortunately never received this package, ebay and PayPal got me my money back.
Tracking only showed label created but never processed to ship.
