My old first gen Nexus 7 has the dodgyist usb socket ever. So I'd like to replace it with a Nexus 7 (2013 model) because it has QI charging. Has anyone had any luck lately buying a new UK or EU model Nexus 7 32gb in the UK? Or does anyone know of any legit online shops selling them? And yes I know this is a long shot & yes I have used google.
BT shop. Looks like it's the last one.

In the last 3 months I've bought 3 from Cash Converters and 1 from Computer Exchange.
All of them have been around £100 and in practically mint condition. All four are going strong with no issues. If you want that piece of mind, buy from Computer Exchange as they give you a 1 year warranty. :angel:
I cant see any reason in buying this tablet for £238 new on the BT website. If it was 2013, £238 wouldn't be a bad deal. 2015 on the other hand, hell no.
I got mine from Asda in the black friday sales, they still have them in the two big Asda stores near me. The sale price was £140 but they usually sell them for £200

Thats not such a bad price brand new. (Especially if its the 32gb version )
Just got a refurbed 32gb wifi version from Dabs.com for £120 in perfect condition (small marks on the box but that was it.) arrived pretty fast too. they also sell new for £200+
Not bad. How long is your warranty

Sadly it was only the 16gb model they had.
Pretty sure argos still have them, that's where I got mine from last year, I don't really recommend buying from there if your the kind of person who breaks stuff a lot tho, since you can't take it back unless it's faulty

does anybody out of germany had a chance to pic a SGN up at MediaMarkt? or maybe you've reccived a mail from Amazon.de or any other Order site that your device is on his glorious way into your hands?
Amazon.de and other online retailers don't seem to have stock yet. No german online retailer has send out phones yet.
But you could get it for the last two days in many Media Markt and Saturn stores. They have limited stock at the moment so calling ahead and reserving one for pick up is advised, especially if you don't live near one of their stores.
The Galaxy Nexus is in Media Marks latest print ad (page 3). download pdf
edit: It's also on the front page of the Saturn homepage.
amazon
i've ordered it on amazon along with prime delivery (had a wording grin there) since they offered the SGN mid last month..
they still give me a delivery date range from tomorrow 3.12 till 6.12.
but so far it's not it's way yet...
can keep you posted if desired..
got it from saturn yesterday and canceled my order at amazon
Yeah, I bought the last out of 7 Galaxy Nexus that were in stock at a MediaMarkt in Heilbronn on November 30th
The guy selling it to me had never even heard about Nexus devices and didn't know ****. ("Is this a new windows phone?" ) But he was impressed that all 7 devices were sold for 549€ in no time.
I canceled my order at Home Of Hardware then.

have you tried mediamarkt instead?
nope - and i won't, the service in both of those stores is as bad as it can be..
through I'm spamming F5 on amazon to check any changes (and yet I'm so eager to switch away from my almighty milestone)
I ordered mine from amazon a week ago. they say 13.12.-14.12.
Got mine today from Media Markt as well, 529€ which is compared to online prices very cheap. Canceled my preorder as well.
Just call the Markets near you and ask if they got it. I called 3 different ones in the area and only one had them. Good luck!
I heard there are the ones selling for 529 euros, and the ones for 629. Has anyone been able to confirm whether the more expensive ones are 32GB, or that's only retailer price difference?
As far as i know, only the LTE version does hold 32gb of data - all GSM devices are 16gb only
That's what has been said, but a 100 euro price difference seems pretty peculiar to me. It exactly matches the other devices' price differences for storage expansion. I guess we'll have to wait for someone to get a hold of one of the 629 euro ones.
could be... but you really just need more space for music n stuff.. depending on the data limitation within your contract... however you can use the cloud as extended storage.. basically thats why the 16gb is not that huge step back (for me, even if i think 16gb is far too less of offline storage)
Well, that's true, but i just can't bring myself to accept 16GB of storage . I have great 3G coverage here but still i would like to keep the most of my music and especially TV series episodes with me on my offline storage.
Hey guys I just cant make the idea of the 16GB XL work for me and I want to order the One X 32GB. Can anyone tell me some reputable sellers?? I have been told to many horror stories about importing phones . Any tricks to get this working on ATT I should be aware of?
expansys.com around 630 for an one x

I'd go with Handtec or Clove in the UK. Expansys and Negri have been shipping Malaysian phones. Handtec actually delivers overnight where "express" from Expansys can take almost a week.
Was looking at Intergron Technology website as they have it for a bit cheaper. BBB check on them doesnt look bad. $599 is there price but what about warranty doing it this way? Is this a grey market purchase doing it this way will HTC honor the warranty?

Good questions. It's grey market by definition because it's being sold outside of the country/region of intended sale. I'm guessing Expansys is an authorized reseller but I don't know about the others. Samsung is insanely strict about grey market warranty support, I don't know about HTC. Phones purchased in the UK all come with a two year warranty. I don't know about Asia. Sorry for questions instead of answers. Maybe someone with more HTC experience knows more.
Well I can wait til some more folks throw in their 2 cents. I just wish HTC would have offered a 32gb XL or just put the SD slot on then this wouldnt be an issue.

Have you used an imported phone before? In addition to warranty questions there's also the fact you can't buy carrier insurance for it. I'd strongly suggest a SquareTrade warranty. They insure grey market phones and cover ADH should anything happen to it. It's about $95 for two years with a $99 deductible and they cover up to price you paid for the phone. There's some 30% off coupons on the Prime forum's front page to get to that $95. It's also transferable and adds a lot of value if you want to eBay or CL later.
I always get my phones from negrielectronics

Malaysian phones are just like every other phone. the only thing that might bother some is that the update took a few more days to get sent out. there's no good reason to pay more than you have to, but that's my opinion. mine was 619 with 5 day UPS.
the only warranty you can get for the X that i know of is Squaretrade. i've never had a phone go bad before i was done with it so i'm not getting one.
Yeah XL is bogus and LTE is not everywhere. Better development for Tegra as you can see. Plus you don't need a smartphone data plan so the phone will pay for itself. Unlimited data is 15 bucks, so your saving 15 a month.

Yeah I am on unlimited but not in an area that will see LTE in this decade lol. So thats why I am looking at the 32Gb version. 16 just wont cut it.
Newegg has it for 619 right now. I think I will be getting it there. Anyone else bought a phone from Newegg. I am concerned about there return policy. 30 Days for refund and 90 for replacement.
I bought mine from expansys. The phone shipped the same day I ordered it and got to my home in Arizona 2 days later. That was with their free shipping. I am very happy with them. I also received a flawless phone. Having zero issues here. This was my first time buying from them however I will gladly buy from them in the future.

Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!
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.
Hey everybody,
For those who didn't pre-order; Is it impossible to buy one without the ridiculous 3rd party mark up price?
I got mine from bestbuy without a preorder at regular price.
I got mine at an AT&T store without a preorder.
I forgot to mention, I am from Canada.
From what I recall, there were quite limited numbers even in the US.
Do any of you guys know what avenues I can go through to aquire one?
None of the Best Buy stores in Austin will be carrying it per instore Samsung rep. Trying to find one around Austin/San Antonio area.

I purchased mine online from AT&T, no preorder. It came in three days.
Bought one last week from BB. It took 9 days to get it.

Basically... yes. Go to ebay, and find somebody selling it with the proof of purchase. As long as you have that you get the concierge + one time $150 screen replacement. I paid 2200 for mine.
I bought mine on a EE (UK) contract for £50 up front (took about a week to come). Shame it's costing me £119 a month, but I do get 2 years of Amazon Video, plus 6 months of Apple Music and few other extras. I worked it out that it's only slightly more than getting an iPhone 11 Pro Max, but you are getting something far more unique with the Fold.
The Fold isn't sold in the Netherlands, so I ordered one from Samsung Germany. This had the bonus of scoring me the 5G model (F907B), too.
Got mine from the Samsung Store in the UK, they had 2 in stock at the time (9 days ago)
thanks for the replies everyone.
i just waited for the reveal of the motorola razr, and what a shame, the leaks from months ago were all accurate.
now i'm really considering the fold.
The Razr is nice and all that, but those specs and that battery don't cut the mustard at that price IMHO
