I've been looking around for a new LG G3 for a while (unlocked - I have my own SIM). I didn't want to get one off Ebay so I was looking for a UK retailer. Carphone Warehouse had them for £479. I then found that Tesco's are doing them for £420 with free next day delivery.
Mine arrived today and seems fine. Official sealed box and everything.
So, just in case you are looking, this may help.

I'm buying the phone in a few days and need advice. What is the best online retailer for buying this phone in the US? The ones I know about are: expansys, negri-electronics, ebay, amazon, and craigslist. I wanted to make sure I got the Taiwan build since a lot of people have given positive feedback on Taiwan builds. Does anyone expect HTC to fix some of the build issues under-the-radar or is it mostly software related. Let me know, thanks.
can't vouch for best. i first ordered from negri last weekend and never received a responding confirmation. i emailed and they said they had no stock and didn't know when new stock would arrive. then i cancelled and they tried to call me to say oh, heavens, they had one, but their free shipping offer did not apply to hawaii, so they would need to charge me $32 more. i said thanks but no thanks. went to expansys and ordered. order got held up a bit because i ordered some items not immediately available. it got straightened out and my order arrived within the week in great condition.
the phone from expansys comes out of taiwan. there's a rumor that the taiwan phones are not exhibiting the same build issues as those from china. i can't say my copy is perfect, because the previous android i had was not very sophisticated, and neither am i when it comes to android. but it doesn't seem to be exhibiting any serious problems . i bought an att micro-sim card off amazon and signed up for att prepaid $2/day unlimited talk/text and added a data package. seems to work in general, but i haven't used it extensively. by the way, the expansys htc came with a sim-card tray opener pin. the amazon micro-sim sold by abe 1-2-3 is a true micro-sim - does not require any cutting down.
I always find the cheapest to be ebay from Hong Kong sellers, can get for $650 AUD
I'm currently visiting Singapore and just picked one up at Sim Lim Square for $722 SGD which is about $600 AUD which in tern is about $600 US?
Thanks guys for the advice. By the way, do you know if it would be cheaper to have it imported from Singapore?
Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).
I've been looking at sellers Quality Deals (out of Taiwan) and SalesTagz (out of NV). Has anyone ordered from them and what are you experience(s)?
TIA!
I have ordered from Quality Deals which was fulfilled by Amazon. I ordered with 2 day shipping and it arrived a 2 days after I ordered it.
I am very satisfied with the phone and the purchase. One note is that currently the Taiwan version can't be boot loader unlocked. Only the Eastern Europian version can be unlocked for now.

Which seller did you use?
Well, I went with SalesTagz for $508 and free shipping. Will report back about my experience with them; might be helpful to someone else here.

I got my G3 D855 32GB from them fullfilled by Amazon previously. No complaints. Brand New!
Sent from my LG G4 H815 USA 4G LTE TMO
I have been searching, and cannot find anywhere to buy this specific model.
I want the 802L specifically, since it has the LTE bands that T-Mobile uses.
Does anyone know where I can buy one online?
Thanks!
There's one for sale on Amazon right now. I bought mine from the ebay user: factory-unlocked Maybe you could contact them about getting one? When I bought mine (July) they were selling them from both China and the USA. Now they don't list them for sale but maybe they could get you one.

Thanks - unfortunately the one on Amazon right now is listed under the 802L, but is actually an 803L if you go to the seller's listing.
I had contacted a number of eBay sellers, and could not find any that could supply the 802L model.
I just thought I would update this in case anyone else came along.
I ended up using buyee.jp to order one directly from Amazon Japan.
I will update this when it arrives.

So, I received the tablet and have been using it for a little while on T-Mobile.
It took about a week for the Buyee process to work. The total added price, over the Amazon.co.jp price, was about $35.
Everything is working well, great tablet, love the build quality.
Didn't like the launcher, so I switched it with Nova straight off.
Hoping Marshmallow comes soon.
The tablet DOES work as a phone on the T-Mobile network, and gets LTE.
I have personally seen up to 40Mb/s down on it.
As a phone... The speaker is near your ear, but it faces outward. Don't try to make any private calls in public places with it, as bystanders can hear your conversations.
Hope this helps someone else like me.
In particular, anywhere in London? Three stores do not have that in stock in any store (I've called most of them). Is it possible there isn't an actual shop where you can purchase it from?
And what would be the right price to pay? On Amazon UK you can buy it at /Lenovo-P2-Smartphone-Battery-Dual-SIM/dp/B01MFBOXXT (can't post full url unfortunately) for £320, and that is the 32gb version apparently (by looking at the 1 star reviews).
Any advice please?
Thanks
Can't you just order it online from Three? I got mine for £200 from them.
Three sell the 32GB storage 4GB RAM version for £199 unlocked with a £10 pay as you go SIM.

Out of stock in the three online store, for the past week... Am I looking in the wrong direction?
It's also showing as out of stock online too:

Try CeX
Its been out of stock at all 3 stores for over a couple of months ive tried at lots of places to buy a second one for a friend. the 3gb variant they are selling on amazon and ebay are a different model version and they are ripping people off selling it for £300 or even more.. And today at a 3 shop locally the manager told me they have now discontinued the p2.
Hard to find now. The price was too good at £200. It's been out of stock for ages. I ended buying up buying it on ebay. Got the 64 GB (p2c72) variant for £270.

Ok, so I need a Phone before the 15th since I'm going to holiday. Looks like this phone is literally a ghost. My main requisite is a non-ridiculous battery life. I can see that the Moto Z Play could be a candidate then? And if that the case, again, where can I find it in London? Any suggestions please?

Three have stopped selling the Lenovo P2 and have no plans to restock now that the Honor 9 has been released.
.......
Confirmed that Three have discontinued it: https://twitter.com/ThreeUKSupport/status/884442227703001088
Mine died recently and looking to replace, you can buy it from Amazon Germany, France and Italy - but it's around £270 for a p2a42. At £200 it was a no brainer, but thinking now I may wait for snapdragon 630/660 phones.
Three back in stock today.

Great, I waited 3 weeks for it to be back in stock and then Three support told me it was discontinued, so I ordered one with a broken screen (the guy dropped it straight after opening it, everything is still in the box) off ebay with a case for £109 and ordered a new screen from china for £88 with the tools to install it. And now they get it back in stock. ****ing grade-A support from Three.

Damn, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a learning opportunity on how to fix/replace the screen. If it goes well, you could even sell it for a slightly lower price as used. Then buy a new one (to get the warranty).
when you choose tariff plan it says out of stock ...
The weird thing is that I have been checking the three site for stock over the last week and on Friday night it accepted an order for the P2 on PYG.
Just got to see if it turns up now...
I have spoken to three on the phone (~ 1 week ago) and they said they aren't expecting any more stock. They told my insurance company the same. Don't know if that is just the operator telling me that though.
You can get a p2a42 from amazon Germany for £270 though, which is what I did.
