UK users - help me

Hi everyone,
I'm living in Brazil, but i have a friend living in London who will visit me in july.
The case is: Where is the best place to buy HTC ONE X online (to be delivery to him in London). But i need the HTC ONE X unbranded or any other way so i can have it unlock, rooted to install all ROMs and MODsin the future.
Can anyone tell me the best?
p.s. now i'm having some fun with HTC Sensation.
Thanks in advance

Your friend can pickup in store sim free from Carphone Warehouse or Phones4u.
Or purchase online, plenty of stockists, Gum Mobile, Clove, Handtec, Amazon, ec etc whichever is the cheapest go for that.

Thanks man. I will looking for in this sites.

I guess the best option is to wait and see till summer since over next 3 months prices will probably drop few quid. When you ready do research online from UK stockists

I will. He is going to be here only in july, so i will monitor the prices and best deals until there. I only had to know where the phone can be bought, and if there is a sim free option.
I presume it is easy to root and perform all other requirements in order to customize htc one as my wishes. Haven't to be more complicated as it was about Htc Sensation.

I recommend Clove.co.uk
Got mine from there, as well as several phones previously. Honest stock levels and fast delivery, with excellent customer support. I spent £500 with complete confidence in them, and they got it me 3 days before they said they would.

[Q] Any SIM free offers in the UK?

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,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Galaxy-Nexu...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339013801&sr=1-1
Well worth it.

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!

[Q] Best Place for User in the US to Buy an Unlocked Z1 Compact From?

How's everybody doing?
I'm looking to order an unlocked Z1 Compact either tonight or tomorrow and am wondering the best and most reliable sites to purchase from?
Also, I imagine I lose the Sony warranty with an unlocked Compact because it's not available in the US market right?
Is it a wise idea to buy a SquareSoft 2 year warranty from Ebay or Amazon? I've been trying to research them and am getting mixed results including a lot of complaints of them scamming and semi-scamming on claim attempts, but often the bad reviews and experiences are the loudest and most glaring.
Anybody have experience with any of the following re-sellers?
Negri Electronics
Wireless Everything(through Amazon)
Cells4U
Techno Trading House(through Ebay)
Never-MSRP(through Ebay)
Open to other suggestions of well of course, but I really need to get this in by say Monday, so not looking for any super long wait international shippers unless the price and reliability of the seller was superb, but even then any issues probably mean international return shipping on my dime so I'm a little sketchy on those options.
Sony won't sell them direct to US customers...
Thanks in advance guys, really excited to get this phone!

Expansys USA
Hands down the best site for us customers ...
I got 4 phones from them and all came in sealed
Box all accessories and US wall adapter....

I got mine from Amazon.com, seller My-Wish-List. No complaints. Not sure on warranty but I wouldn't expect much from Sony even if bought legitimately. I was counting on Amazon.com to back me up if the phone was DOA.

No doubt, hands down the best I've purchased from is Clove. I have purchased two phones from them, the first needed some repair, and they were very good about facilitating the process and getting it back to me. No need to look elsewhere.

Hi, here in Singapore,it actually sells for about 500USD so i would consider it a good bargain.

Thanks everybody. I ordered the phone about a half hour ago from Amazon, went with Wireless Everything.
Ordered a case, some tempered glass screen protectors and a cheap rubber case.
Think I might wind up with a Devil Case once they drop them for the Compact if it will fit over the screen protector.
Really excited to get this, I'm coming from a REALLY old phone that had died and came back to life so many times it was basically a zombie.

Good luck. You're going to love this phone. I have nothing but good to say about it. (except I see it's about $20 less now than when I ordered it)
What carrier are you on? I'm on T-Mobile and both H+ and LTE work perfectly.

I am also on T-Mobile. Been using a HTC G2 that was almost 4 years old before it perma-bricked about 2 weeks ago and have been using a BB Bold borrowed from a friend since then while I've been deciding what phone to go with and from where.

I ordered from Expansys Canada but the phone shipped out the States. When it came the box had been opened and a charger adaptor was included. Maybe should have gone through Amazon. Phone is working well but had to manually put the Rogers Canada APN in. Great phone though.

For what it's worth I contacted USA xperia support and asked them about this. They said that it doesn't matter if the unit is not available to purchase in USA, and that I have a 1 year warranty on my phone that would be honored in a sony usa service center. I have my doubts about the quality of the service but it sounds like at least we're not stuck with no warranty at all.

I have my Z1 compact in for repair at Sony, and they don't sell it in my country.
Sony said that they would repair it, but no guarantees on the turnaround time. It's usually 14 days. business days.
That's for phones that they repair all the time. They said that they may have to send the phone out to a diff repair center in another country.
I got a lemon where the Z1 would sometimes detected my sim, and sometimes not. Faulty sim card contacts in the phone or something like that.I'm chalking it up to bad luck.

Cheapest Price for N975F/DS 256GB in the US?

So I have been looking on EBAY and there are only a handful of sellers. Anyone seen it for less than $1,086?

Brand new phone if you find it cheap anytime soon plus let me know

Yep, lowest $96something. There was one for $94omething but they sold quick... Ended up getting mine for $975 or thereabout.

I have a brand new one that I haven't even taken out of the box. I'm about to send it back to Samsung. Got all caught up in the pre-order hype, but finally decided it was too big.

does any website still selling Mate 20 X - 8/256G 4G version... ??

please let me know the link...

Networks here in the UK only have the 5G model in stock.
The 4G can be found on eBay but most are pre-owned. The few brand new ones are very expensive, they cost more than the 5G model. I spent a long time looking for a reasonably priced new 4G but couldn't find one.
I've just received my 5G yesterday and I'm really pleased with it so far.

thank you, maybe 5G version is the last hope... if 4G isn't available anymore.. I am not satisfied with Aliexpress... could see lots of complaints and the Vendor is not responding to messages.
let me dig eBay for some time if the vendor responds... I will try to salvage any new item left out there...

@SivasankarC
You're welcome, I hope you have success getting a good deal on the model you settle on. What country are you in?
Mine is the 8 / 256GB 5G version, that's the only model the UK networks have now, the 4G is a much earlier release.
I did a lot of researching over the last few weeks trying to get the 4G, but of the few brand new ones I saw the cash price was way too high.
There's no way I'd invest a big chunk of my cash in a phone from outside the UK, if there were any subsequent faults I'd imagine I'd be pretty much screwed regarding the vendor sorting it out. So I never bothered looking at Aliexpress or international sellers on eBay. You saying the vendor isn't replying to your messages is a typical scenario I'd rather not be in.
Initially I preferred the 4G above the 5G, mostly because of the larger battery, but I believe the smaller 4200mAh should still see me through a typical day's use.
And whatever model you get I'm sure you will be impressed with the big screen, it really is awesome!

I'm in exactly same situation. Really want the 4g version but can't find it anywhere. Except eBay used items. I should have bought it on Amazon when I had the chance 6 months ago....ahhh.

the only what i found Available Soon

Try wonda mobile, its a decent price 454£ for the Chinese version https://www.wondamobile.com/mobile/huawei/huawei-mate-20x-cn-128gb-sim-free-unlocked.html

Whats wrong with used?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not very keen on used. Simply because I would rather a new device with 100 percent battery health. I plan on using this one long term. At least 2 years.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered one from a third party Amazon seller. Looks new. Got it for £499. Looks like it was the last one too as no more available now. Should be with me in few days. Can't wait!

Huawei discontinued the 4G model long time ago around time the 5G model released.
I really love this 4G model and want to get another one as backup.

If huawei released the 4g model in 2018 then a 5g model in 2019 hopefully theyll release an updated version for 2021, fingers crossed. Its possible that the black shark 3 pro is enuf to attract the attention of huawei to compel it to make a 2021 model as an answer to that competition with same screen proportions as its previous models. Again fingers crossed.

Just got my brand new 4g model today. Factory sealed. Very impressed so far. Typing this on my new 20x! It is a monster. Two handed phone for sure. Gonna be putting it through its paces next few days.
