Craigslist is better
I buy all my phones off craigslist now. I used to get ebay by searching for deals then I found out what kind of crap they are involved in and their corrupt practices with paypal so I switched to craigslist (Although ebay does own quite a lot of stock of clist, it doesn't require that I give them any money...)
There are a lot of people who have phones they simply don't know how to use, and so really don't know the true value of the device. That's when I buy them.
The touch pro 2 I have now I purchased for 50$
I also purchased a Desire recently for 100$
Many other phones besides.
Did I also mention that you can resell them there? And it's good for the economy
Any thoughts where I could buy a new unlocked HTC OneX?
I saw that I could buy no-contract at AT&T for $499 but I wanted to know if there are any better options for a new OneX from a reliable source?
(Excluding eBay or other similar auction sites).
Thanks!
I'd check Amazon, eBay, and Misco to see if they're any good for you mate
Handtec They offer fast intenational delivery.
You might want to figure out if you want Evita (AT&T version, dual core snapdragon) or Endeavoru (quad core Tegra 3, which is what this forum is for)
Thanks for the replies. Basically, I have a cousin coming to visit from the middle east who wanted to purchase the phone here because handsets are way more expensive in his country. I don't think he'd have much of a preference regarding the sub-model since all phones have the major 2G and 3G frequencies nowadays. Personally, I use a Galaxy S3 but he wanted the HTC OneX.
Was looking for something along the lines of NewEgg, etc. but they are sold out and I'd rather not order from a European website. Figure I'll probably just end up grabbing one from AT&T store unless anyone else has other thoughts.
Thanks!
Are you looking for a NIB, unopened or would a used one do?
Hi guys, planning to buy one in near future and was wondering where is good place to buy online? Was looking at amazon (32gb WiFi, in black) but seems that 4g version is for same price or little higher then WiFi? Why? Also I am not sure about warranty...
Thanks for your time.

Why are you looking at 32gb? Just put a micro SD card in and your sorted. In regard to warranty, as long as its an original tablet your buying and not a fake it will have the normal Samsung Warranty.
4g version, P605 will cost more around £460.
WiFi only, around £400
Look around on ebay, amazon, they seem to be the cheapest right now. Should have got it around christmas when the prices went down for a bit, got mine for £300, brand new!

£300 wow, great price, yeah I will check amazon from time to time, yeah 16gb would be enough. I might be wrong but is 605 still running on 4:3?
Ebay seems to be good source too but most of them are from us, do you think is a good idea to import one from there?
I got a 32Gb for just under £400 from Expansys, delivered next day - I went for 32Gb as I had a 16Gb with KitKat (which broke and was returned) and that 16Gb only left about 4Gb to play with after a few apps were installed. That will get you a couple of iPlayer downloads or Google Play movies at best and then you're stuffed. With KitKat the SDcard is just a dumping ground for media files, most apps won't let you download content onto it. I'm sure it can be fixed by rooting but life's too short for all that imo.

I didn't want a 32Gb Wi-Fi version, as my tablet is to be used both home & away, so I was left with no option to go for the 4G/LTE version, which I couldn't get anywhere in the UK.
I therefore resorted to an import from HK, after much searching one of the best deals I found was from T-dimension and with insured delivery & VAT, it cost me £465. Of course it's a HK/Chinese machine, but I resolved that by downloading a firmware which was meant to be a BTU (UK) firmware, but in reality is a PHE (Spanish) one (I'd still like to find a way of changing the CSC code without rooting), but it works perfectly and it didn't trip KNOX either. :good:

thanks for info guys, I am not planning to root it until warranty is over anyway. I only want WiFi as I am planning to use threatening from my phone.
I was thinking about buying from expansys, just wondering do the provide warranty? Or tablet has manufacturer warranty? and how is their customer service as from what I read didnt sound very good?

The phone will cost $199 for 32GB, $299 for 64 GB on AT&T, according to the carrier's site.
Seems really expensive to me given it's specs and the fact that it does not run the Play store and likely locked to AT&T with a locked bootloader.
This is not a Galaxy S5. People expected this phone to be priced more like a Google Nexus or Kindle (ad subsidized), but all they ended up with was run of the mill AT&T pricing.
The functionality is cool but at this price I wonder who is going to buy this phone. At this price, people who want an Android will stick with LG or Samsung, and the others will get an iPhone... who is going to go with Amazon? What is the selling feature.. being able to play with maps in 3D?

Yea I was expecting something more like Moto G or Nexus Pricing. Thats WAY to much for a phone. I`d rather have the new iPhone for amount of money, And I`m an Android person
720p
They're selling a phone with a 720p screen for the price of my Note 3. Fo reals?!
Facebook fone v2.0. or maybe v0.1.2.

A 720p display that's only 4,7" is not really a problem.
I was a big fan of the LG 3D and moved on to the LG 3D MAX. moved away from the 3D MAX due utter lack of support from LG in terms of software upgrades. Was looking forward to this phone since the rumours started as I loved the 3D technology. Unlike many people, I had no issues whatsoever in viewing 3D on the phones.
This phone turned out to be a whimper instead of a loud bang!

Agreed. I don't even notice any pixels on my Note II with same resolution but much larger screen. Once thing I don't understand is why they are still using 4.2.2 as base android branch. What's so difficult to move to newer versions? With the growing popularity of wearable devices which need Blue LE. They should at least use 4.3 as baseline.
I was very skeptic that amazon would launch this thing subsidized like it did with the kindle since probably everyone involved knew the risk of the phone becoming the cheap powerful phone everyone is flashing custom ROMs to instead of using the heavy data mining fireOS that would pay for the devices.
But amazon went the exact other way this time and with these prices its obviously making money with each phone sold, much like apple, while shipping an almost generic slab with no custom hardware besides 4 extra cameras for a laggy 3D UI effect, unlike apple with all its custom hardware and design.
IMHO this thing aint gonna sell squat, so I'm gonna wait until bezos panics and makes it $99 unlocked.
Then I will honor the deal by wiping out that spyware crap it comes with
...
I don't know how to delete my question, but it has already been asked elsewhere, apologies. If an admin could please delete this, I'd appreciate it, thank you.
I work for amazon and supposedly the phone will be significantly cheaper for employees just don't know by how much. they are also supposed to be giving us extra incentives for us to buy it.
A tablet is One thing But a Phone? This will have the same fate as the Facebook phone. Take away the Amazon apps and this thing is just another brick in the bunch. That 3d effect might be cool for a little bit but I bet i gets anouying after a while and its style looks Ugly. DONT GET ME STARTED IN THE PRICE. It is almost guaranteed it will be locked better than Ft. knox. Dont waste money on this Amazon, spend it on the Drones and just release the apps on Android, Windows and Apple Youll make more money that way.9

The facebook phone was incredibly half-assed compared to this.
The problem with the FP is price and price alone, everything else can be forgiven but the price is just batcrap insane, what were they thinking? did they not learn anything from the first iphone price? for the record that one too was at&t-only and it didn't sell well until apple dropped the price.
For amazon to get the marketshare it wants this thing should be $200 unlocked
Mine will be here today, paid $0 out the door went with the monthly ATT Next deal so I will at least only have to wait a year to upgrade again instead of two years as in the past. If it weren't for the free Amazon Prime for a year, since I do so much business with them each month, I probably would have passed on this phone but my S3 is messed up and I wanted something different. This will definitely be different.

So let me get this straight, for a $99 Prime account you went ahead and bought the biggest piece of crap phone and signed up for 2 years?
Sent from my LG-D851
No, one year of prime + signed up for one year of ATT Next. Regardless, the phone is going back tomorrow since Amazon refuses to return my phone calls, answer my emails, and their "Mayday" button isn't working at the moment on said piece of **** phone.
Edit: and I haven't paid anything yet. I am returning this dogpile, if ATT wants to pro-rate me as part of their "Next" plan, they will be talking to my lawyers for teaming up with Amazon for this crap.
The Fire phone price dropped to $449 and those who bought it soon before the drop (for the higher price) can ask for a refund and Amazon will most often acknowledge that!
Fire sale
Amazon is now offering this unlocked/no contract for $199 WITH a year of Amazon prime ($99 value).
