yes i cant wait till i get my hands on it
not exactly sure, the shipment costs depends, .. it could reach to 37 euros as in my case (living in middle east).
and within the country am living in right now, there is 5% duty if i used DHL/Fedex .... so it really depends on your country's laws

ok but on the desirehtc website it still says 01/04 so probably all other retailers will have it then or even later than that

To be fair that is probably counting down to when it's avalaible to customers.
So shops etc will probably get it a few days early. It's like with games, if you preorder a game from a game shop then you're almost certain to get it in the post a few days before it's actually supposed to hit the shelves.

Last time I bought something with DHL it was from US, a samsung P3
It costed 150$+50$ shipment
Lebanese customs...45$
So about 20%

actually the percentage should be taken from the original value of the product (excluding the shipment).
So basically yours is more like 30%

Seriously though why is there no proper hands on reviews yet with less than a week to go before release..? They are normally the only way that helps me contain my excitement.

I agree with you, ... everyday i check google & youtube for the latest news and clips on the Desire, .... but everything so far is not proper, .. most of the clips just mention the specs and flip the phone 2-3 times. there isnt any proper review of any kind ..

Superb!!!!!! This is the best news for me today I ordered from Clove as well ... Yippie!

Mine is ordered from Clove too Looking forward to it hopefully there will be no big bugs when released.

I would go with Clove if you're buying from the UK. GPB/STG$330. I just ordered mine and had a few questions about payment, shipping etc. They were extremely helpful.
They even told me I would miss the first shipment due 29th March, but would get mine from the 2nd shipment, due 2nd April. many e-tailers wouldn't offer this sort of info up-front because delivery date for preorders can, and almost always will be, a deal-breaker.

Thank you very much! I'm buying from Italy, but I saw that Clove can also ship abroad. So I will also miss the first round...and maybe also the second...LOL. The price is more convenient that Expansys, about 40€ less...

I think the graphite model is the Urban Brown one, seeing as how graphite is pretty dark, and that only a few stores and carriers will have the silver one, but don't take my word for it.

So, anyone can tell me if I am right, if I want one from Clove (am in US) I have to pay for the phone, shipment, and import duty, no other fees, correct?

Yay!! After the crap day I had yesterday I needed this news to bounce me back. I ordered with Clove and haven't been in touch with them yet but as I placed my order way back on 16-Feb I'm pretty confident of being in the first shipment. Come to me, my lovely!!

New logitech keyboard + case (by ZAGG)

Just announced: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/10/logitech-trots-out-100-keyboard-case-for-the-galaxy-tab-10-1-h/
Looks pretty sick, I will probably get one if the reviews are good.

I know a similar one for the I pad. Looks pretty sick.

Nice.
Interested in this.
Want to see a video of it first.

Those are slick, but they don't protect the back of the device.

Man, I can't wait for this thing!

Interesting
Thanks for posting

You know what would make this really cool? A pop-up 30 pin adapter that you could dock the tab on to when in landscape mode. And, a pass through charging function. And, USB and HDMI ports on the side.
Logitech, please make these additions ASAP. TYVM.

If you place the SGT flat onto/into the keyboard, face-in, does it "lock" into place, so that you can carry the two paired together, without the tab falling out? (The attached picture from the Logitech website suggests that the two are meant to "pair" together for carrying).
Second, how much does it weigh? It does not specify on the Logitech website.

When is this supposed to be released?

It couldn't be, different shape.
I think it's the same thing but shaped for the tab 10.1... that's what I've read anyways.

If you're interested in this one, logitech has been sending out 50% off coupons by email. The coupon works on this item. I was actually planning to get this ($50 with coupon) but realized that I don't need it. Get on their mailing list or go on ebay to get a coupon.

Yeh... It works on everything except for the Keyboard Case...

Called right when they opened at 9am EST. They said to place the order and then the code would be applied before it ships. Placed my order! You either have to call first and give them code over the phone, or place the order and then contact sales support.
[email protected]

Aw man the status went back on pre-order. I wonder if CS will still let me order it. I tried that last time and they said that I can't use the coupon on pre-order items.

[Q] Anyone unlocked their phone for International Use?

Was curious to see if anyone has unlocked their phone to use internationally.

BTW- Love this S4. Havent put it down in hours lol

your device must be fully paid, & you must have been a customer for at least 45 days.
if you satisfy those requirements, you qualify for a free unlock from tmobile.
otherwise, head on over to cellunlocker.net
you can thank me later.

their system wont even process your unlock request if you have not met the 2 requirements i mentioned in my last post.

I too will be taking this phone internationally. My phone is paid off and I have been on the prepaid for 6 months but post paid for 4 days. I wonder what tmobile will do with my request.

I bought a new S4 at full retail price from T-Mobile. I am travelling to Europe next week and wanted to get it unlocked. I tried to get it unlocked by chatting with a rep online and they said I had to be a customer in good standing for 40 days ( I just switched over from Sprint) and that they wouldn't even bother submitting the unlock request. This is NOT what is says on their website (see: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588) Their website says that if you pay full retail price you only need to have an account in good standing to unlock. Based on what the website said, I went to the store, they took a look at the website and called up the unlock team and submitted an unlock request. I was supposed to get a response from the unlock team in 24-48 hours, but 96 hours later when I had still not heard from them, I just used cellunlocker.net. 10 mins and $24 later I got the code.
One thing to note: cellunlocker.net gives you a bunch of ways to enter the code, but the only way that worked for me was to insert a different SIM, so if you do get a code from them you may want to make sure you have access to a SIM on a different network.

As I mentioned, I paid full retail price for mine. If you read the rest of that page there is a section for people who paid full retail price. There is no 40 day requirement in that case.

Pixel XL 128gb availability?

Does anyone know when they're going to be available to order again? I've been on Googles waitlist for awhile now, there's no ETA. and i sent them an email yesterday and they replied back with this..
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for getting in touch with Google.
I understand that you'd like to purchase a new Pixel phone. I know how curious you would be right now, however, as the system states, you'd have to wait till the product is delivered to you. The shipping is based on the location, area and the type of city you're in. We don't have information about the shipping of an order. It's based on the Estimated delivery date issued to you. As you've already got the information about the delivery, that is the best date we could give you at the moment.
I wish we had any additional facilities, however, as the company has its own policies, we wouldn't be able to deliver the product to you in short period of time.
I hope you understand our limitations.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email. I'm happy to help!
Thanks!
Mike A

I have a feeling I'm gonna run out of time with the note 7 and wanted to go with the xl, but i can't wait forever.
Anyone have any insight?

Check nowinstock website and run the page refresh extension with "out of stock" phrase alert.
They've had them available for ordering on and off every week. They had many last week, in stock lasted for days.

Good news, I did google chat with a product specialist and they checked the warehouse and said the Pixel XL will be back in stock at some point in time before this week ends (when it happens it will probably sell out again, so pay close attention to it)

Shouldn't i get a notification from them that they're back in Stock if I'm in the waiting list?

Hopefully that means Verizon will be getting an influx of XL's too. I'm starting to worry that I won't get my preorder before I go on vacation in December.

Gotcha. I got mine ordered. The way you posted it made me think you were copying and pasting it from somewhere

I order my pixel xl around November 5th~8th (can't remember when exactly) and google told me it would be delivered at around December 15th-19th. Today I got an email that they've already sent it and that it coming till the 22th. I signed for the accidental protection deal cuz I'm not a careful person :S I hope it pays off.

Congratulations!

tried to register on that site (nowinstock) and it told me that they don't accept emails from that provider....It's a gmail!??? oh well...so much for setting an alert. looking for a Quite Black 128gb XL... manual refreshed it is...
EDIT: Got it figured out. col site, never knew it existed...

Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long to restock these phones? Why are not cargo ships full of them unloading every day? I would guess some component is in short supply?
And an observation, why did google make a useless 32G model with no expansion slot? If they made a 64G and 128G model there would be a lot less problems. Of course most people would probably buy the 64G model and they would not get to sell the $100 upgrade.

Ebay 20% off coupon valid TODAY ONLY
Here's the link to a 9/10 quality Sprint LGV30+ on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/173250399581
Here's the 20% off promo code
PICKDADSGIFT
It's valid today only, 7am to 7pm PST.
https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0606/66165.html?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true
The code works on the phone link above, taking $65 off the price for a total of $260.
That's $260, for a LG V30+ that can be unlocked and rooted to run on any carrier.
This is valid for US, CA, and South American customers. This is an absolute steal. I got mine and thought I'd share this w/ other xdaers.

Mint is this link, $10 more list price:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-LS998-128GB-Titan-Black-Sprint-Smartphone-A-Mint-/173250399580
Would be $267 after discount.

Damn. Should have bought the mint. Gonna see if I can email the seller before it ships.

seller quickly responded to my request to pay the difference of a mint with
"There isn't much of a difference between the two"
Guess I'll stick w/ what I have based on that. But I would def recommend grabbing the mint since it's only $7 more.

Since the bootloader is likely to be patched sooner than later, this is the deal to jump on. $268 shipped.
Code is only good for 1 order, so make it count.

Searching right now, they seem to be sold out of both the "mint" and "9/10" LS998 V30+. Yesterday was a VERY good deal.

I paid 247 for the 7-10 condition on the sale day. As long as the screen is not scratched I will be happy.

That's kind of a bad dice roll man, because if the phone was used with a case, the screen is what scratches first.

My buddy just received his.....with the May security patch!!! Back it goes.

Of the two I bought recently my "mint" LS998 V330+ is truly flawless, while my 9/10 LS998 V30+ has a drop ding just north of the volume buttons. Otherwise flawless. With a case (which is necessary with these phones), that ding won't be seen. I must say the seller was honest in grading those two at least.

Does the May security patch prevent the conversion/bootloader unlock? I thought it was the June security patch that has that.
