So I'm looking at the micro usb cables on amazon.. which micro is the evo? type a/b/c/d/. etc.. hopefully type b.. only 4 dollars shipped. Why do they charge $20 or more locally?
There is only one type of micro cable, micro not mini and standard USB on the other end.

Because people are willing to pay $20. It costs $1 or less to make.. nice markup, eh? I bought two OEM Samsung made cables for $5/each shipped on eBay.. couldn't be happier.
BTW: Stay away from aftermarket cheapo cables.. they go bad. I've gone through 2-3 Mini USB cables when I had my Hero.
I ordered 5 6ft cables from Monoprice on Tuesday and got them today. $1.22each
I have been trying to find the cheapest hdmi cable for the droid x right now. The lowest I can go is $14.29. Also if an admin could allow me post links I would add the link.

Is is not just the typical mini hdmi or type a or something? I bought one for like 5 bucks when I bought my Flip a while back... maybe I can use it for this!

It is Micro HDMI to HDMI.
I found the cheapest to be a 1 footer for 11$ with free shipping from Brooklyn on ebay. Also, if you use Bing cash back, you can get 8% off (88 cents ). I would post links, but i cant.
I just searched for Micro HDMI on ebay and came up with plenty of options for $10 or less.
monoprice.com - they have high quality cables for the cheapest prices
just bought one off ebay
6.90 along with free shipping here to hawaii.. why can china ship here for free, but u.s. charges 12 bucks?

Rule # 1 - Monoprice should always be the first place you look
Rule # 2 - Refer to rule #1
Rule # 3 - Next try BlueJeansCable
I couldn't believe this but, I was at a verizon store yesterday asking about the hdmi cables and another customer overheard me. He pulled me aside and told me that you can get at lowes in the satellite dish dept. He said you could get a 12 foot cord for half of what verizon charges. I'm going to head over there shortly to find out if it's true.
Update... If lowes has them I didnt see them. they had regular hdmi cables but nothing for micro usb. I think the guy misunderstood what I was looking for.

Buying non-oem from china means it'll work for a month then it breaks. Long run you're gonna spend a lot more. Avoid eBay spend a few bucks more and get something reliable.
I got my hdmi cable (15 ft) and a new usb cause the box one is too short (6 ft) for only 15 bucks from monoprice.com with next day shipping.

The seller "Eforcity" on eBay has a LOAD of cheap HDMI cables, I saw one for $5.50 shipped earlier.
I'd post a link, except this is my first post.
Keep being asked where to get an MHL adaptor from,
I've just ordered one from Amazon for the princely price of 8 GBP (genuine Samsung) so if you're in the UK it sounds like a good deal to me!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ULZD7U/
oops that was the gender changer, the genuine MHL is £14
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-II-MHL-Adapter/dp/B0051D3KQW/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
the one I meant to post was £9

I bought this http://tinyurl.com/6tc8zo3
11,29$ + free shipping

I have bought it 20 days ago from Samsung Store in India. Which costs me 650 INR. which is around 8.20 GBP
Amazon.com has OEM samsung usb host cable for only 11 dollars. i know ebay has cheaper ones too but this is for those looking for a genuine samsung usb host cable. samsung.com has it for 20bux, tax and shipping is extra $.
My official adapter came defective and is generally too big and clumpy to be worth even a dollar. My 2 cents: go third party every time
Hi
What you have in the Box when you unpacked your device next to the device?
I got the Z1 Compact, Headphones and the Charger nothing more.
I saw in an unpacking video a OTG cable and a display shatter
From Carphone Warehouse in the uk there was
Phone
Charger
USB cable
OTG cable
Screen protector film, cloth and squidgee
Headphones
Not bad, really.

Here in Sweden we only get the phone plus charger and USB cable, kinda sucks when others get a lot more... :crying:
The only options for extras was to get a pair of Sony DR-BTN200M if you preordered from the Sony online store, or preorder from a vendor called Cyberphoto and get a gift card for 500 SEK (~$77).
I went with the latter as it's basically getting the phone cheaper (they were already 100 SEK cheaper than Sony and delivered faster anyways...)

Depends where you buy it from. Carrier? Webstore? Regular electronics store? Luckily, you can get really cheap OTG adapters on Ebay, Amazon etc. You can get one for a couple of bucks. The screen protector is another story, since they tend to be a little more expensive, but that's life!

I received the same as him, bought from Handtec.co.uk though.
@dtosun I didn't pay any VAT or any taxes on this phone for that matter. However I'm from Australia not USA. But for something of this value, I doubt your customs would make a fuss over this purchase.
Did anyone get a 16gb Samsung sd with it? Mine had one but I had already bought a 32gb,wasn't expecting it.

I'm in the same boat too. Pre-ordered from clove, only paid for the device and shipping. There was no trouble from US customs.
I had checked against amazon uk too but there they charge for the device, shipping, AND import fee. I have no idea why amazon needs to charge an import fee or why clove can get away without. *shrugs*
im also living in Sweden, and get just phone, USB cable, charger...
