Expansys USA says 100+ in stock (Grey only)

Well, after my debacle with Handtec I just ordered from Expansys...
$669.99 (and don't forget about 2% back from Fatwallet or 1.5% from eBates.)
EDIT: Here's the link, and I have no affiliation with them.
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINK

Boom ordered one.

Just FYI - looks like we will be able to ship them tomorrow. We are under deployment requirements from the manufacturer currently.

Ahhhh.... that info would have been nice to have on the site.
I paid $28 for overnight...

Updating now. Look for a PM.

Great customer service from Corey, thank you. Can't wait to get the phone!

I also paid for overnight.

Expansys is selling the glamour gray. What is the difference between the glamour gray and gunmetal gray?

I'm so tempted to buy now rather than wait for white in a couple of days
I have to control myself until white is released on Apr 5th.
Anyone know any coupons to reduce the price a bit

Ordered from Expansys and cancelled from Negri, thanks for sharing.

Any coupon code for it thanks

Hoping I'm OK and that I got in fast enough; the site still shows "100+" in stock, and my Paypal payment shows "completed". The order page just says "Your order will be processed soon. Our order processing team work 8am - 6pm weekdays." though, and it isn't clear what time zones that's for. (My order was charged by Paypal well before 6pm Central, and other things on the site mostly seem to reference Central time.)
Guess I'll find out tomorrow, but Corey, if you're around and feel like taking a weight off my mind, speak up! ;-)

It did say 100 + in stock earlier. I just ordered and now it says 4 days. Think I missed the first batch.

It didn't say that earlier. My guess is they've sold out of their first 100+ units already, and don't expect to receive another shipment for four days.
It still said "100+" a full hour and a half after my order was placed, which was when I last checked, but they were out of stock an hour later apparently.

I don't believe you missed it. We just had a fraudster order batches of 100's til it quit showing stock. We have deleted those orders so it should be showing stock again very soon. The fraud attempts still amaze me.

Wow. That is just unreal. I'm surprised your system will even accept an order of that volume without requiring an override of some kind; that'd be getting on for US$70,000 per order!
On the plus side, this presumably means my own order must've been received while it was still in stock. You said they're supposed to ship tomorrow, and I got two-day shipping, so that means a phone by the weekend. Woo hoo!!! :-D

Whoops, our posts crossed and I didn't see this. Actually, looking at my order, it's just changed to "Ready to ship", so I think we're set.

Awesome news. Went with next day shipping. Had cash to spend after my NCAA bracket win.

Finally Got the Phone

Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

Hi there I have had my phone for 12 days (11 yesterday) and was able to get a unlock code instantly from the Chinese Huawei website: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply and by following the guide from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701. The website does loop back to the login page a few times but I just kept repeating till I managed to get to the application page for the unlock code. After filling in the form the code itself was presented onscreen as soon as I clicked apply so good luck!

Thanks for the reply. That site is just a mirror of the English one posted before. It still just kicks back a "you need 14 days..." Wondering though, did you set up the huawei account and such on your device?

Yes I did but when I tried to enter it on the website it said it was linked with another website so I created a new account from my backup email directly on the website itself. I had more luck on the Chinese site than the English one as that would not even show some options for me.

Yeah, being in China I tried the English site first then the Chinese, haha, seriously I did. Might call them and ask, they might just phone jump to the engineering area where someone will do it and give it to me. Or I suppose I could go to one of hundreds of shops that will do it. Lets see if Huawei can be good to me.

I remember being able to get a phone unlocked for next to nothing then the more the fancier phones came out the more shops charged a LOT to unlock. Good luck with contacting Huawei themselves and here's hoping they will be kind. I dunno how I managed to get a unlock code really quick as I nearly gave up then tried the Chinese site which as soon as I entered the details presented my code instantly on screen. Are you planning on Installing the Nougat beta once you have unlocked your device?

Shops here in China are really cheap still, finding one that knows what they are doing is another thing. Nope, will stick with MM until official release. I am more interested in testing, hopefully some kernels and roms will pop up soon. I am an N5 user and still will rely on that device, this is a hopeful crossover device. Been drinking whiskey tonight, sorry if I am incomprehensible.

It gets the job done paying to unlock when they know what they are doing its just the price can be a tad high. Yeah Some kernels and roms should show up soon now the source has been provided by Huawei. Haha no worries I see your enjoying yourself and your new phone lol.

The all black model is really sick! I bought the white one, so I understand your pov about the gold (nowaday I consider titanium grey being a good choice too).
You do have to set up a huawei account in the device. However, for some weird reason, I had to wait for more than 14 days and couldn't get the code to unlock it. So I bought credits in dc-unlocker tool and could get the code with this unofficial method.

Titanium Grey is the model I chose. I did not know they did a all all black and from just reading up it is only available in China as Obsidian Black.

I would of gone for Obsidian Black as well if the option had been there, the options I did have were Titanium Grey and Prestige Gold.

It only came out here about a week or two ago, the all black model. The model for the Chinese market is better, but I don;t know if it would support LTE in most places.

Well, this sucks. Got impatient and tried to use the DC unlocker method, but no way to pay them. Every method is rejected, probably because I am in China. Trying to buy some bitcoins now, will see how it goes

Darn, I am already thoroughly annoyed at this phone. Just had to jump through a million hoops, only to be waiting on a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully, once I finally get the bootloader unlocked I will feel better, but right now I am

Samsung credit DISAPPOINTING!

So, as everyone who was waiting for the Active Wear 2 to become available for pre-order so they could use their Note 10 credit has already found out.............that credit will not work on the new watch. A call to Samsung resulted in their usual shell game explanation that the watch was not available when the promo code was generated, so sorry you're just out of luck. Oh well, guess I'll just stick with my Moto 360's for as long as they hold out.

I got the Galaxy Fit and ear pods with it. Very happy.

Can't use the "rewards" money for things I want as well. Found out yesterday trying to use my $16 for the USB-c/3.5 mm adapter, it can only go toward the things like games, apps and some other overpriced junk from the Samsung store app.

I guess I'm lost. I look go to the SHOP app through the phone, found the AW2 (added the free wireless charger), and proceeded to Pre-Order.
Once on the Pre-Order page I pulled out my S-Pen and select "Have a promo or referral code?" A popup appears and I can enter my code there.
Now I'm not going to pre-order that watch but that should work. You might possibly have to ditch the free wireless charger as Samsung does not allow multiple discounts at once.

Still nothing, there is no promo code for rewards. They have a separate page for redeeming rewards where they show a limited number of items that you can "buy" for your points if you like those. No possibility to redeem in similar way as 'credit bonus' money. My bonus went into watch($150 + $200 out of my pocket) and I bought for $50 the S-cover.(reservation bonus) I tried to get that USB/headphone adapter for the points. That's OK, still have a few months to decide what to do with my $16 in points.

wait.. what samsung reward are we referring here?

I picked the items I wanted and then went to check out and then used the redeem option and it applied it to my order.
I got the 45W charger, galaxy buds, and the flip cover. I even used my Samsung points I saved up where the whole order I paid $2.13 for all of it.

I think it's a one time use code as well which sucks. If you dont use it all in one shot you lose whatever balance is left. I did it the 2nd way I suggested when I got the credit. I added the dongle and a 10,000mah battery pack to my cart in the Samsung Shop app and went back to my email. I then opened the link from the $150 credit email and got the kit that included the dual charger and another 10,000 mah battery pack. The dongle and other battery pack were in the cart still so I went to check out and it added the code for me since I used the email link I'm guessing. It's a bit confusing and if you contact Samsung support( a waste of time btw) they tell you the dongle isnt a part of the promotion. I wanted a blue S Pen for my Black Note 10 but they didnt have any.

English Language Chinese Rom

Hey guys I'm ordering a black shark 3 from giztop and just wanted to confirm something. If I buy the Chinese ROM version does it still have a English language setting? Thank you for your help.

hi yes..... but some pre-install apps is in chinese only. able to uninstall

Ok thank you very much. I am aware of the things I'm going to have to deal with as it will be a Chinese ROM.

Hey man. I'm also ordering from Giztop. I ordered the black shark 3 pro though. Did you get your tracking number yet? I've been trying to get it but I think the COVID-19 situation is really hurting Giztop bad. Hopefully they'll send me the tracking information later today...I paid for express shipping ($40) and it has been 8 days since I ordered. I trust the shop enough to definitely deliver the product but I'm afraid it'll take a good 10-15 days more at this point due to the current situation

Hi. It took me 6 days to get the tracking number and I paid for express shipping too. The tracking number works but there has not been much activity. Keep emailing them and ask for your tracking number. I also think the wait is going to be longer then 5-7 days.

Yeah it's unfortunate. Like you said, I have kept emailing them but I have yet to receive a tracking number 8 days in, so it'll likely take a long time too. Since I think it hasn't even shipped out of China yet, which is why they keep emailing me with apologies instead of telling me what's really the current status of my package. So waiting is really all that can be done.

I have no idea if a beta has even started as of yet. I don't think so, since the phone just launched globally. At this stage of development I doubt we'll even be able to switch between global and China Roms. I'm hoping for more development to atleast have a custom recovery, root, and the ability to switch between regional Roms. But so far, there's just not enough interest in this device.

Do I need to UnRoot my FTV 1 to trade it in ? Finally time for a full on upgrade...

So I think I should get a FTV Stick 4K Max. Mostly for the latest Bluetooth options available on them. I would like to trade in both my working Rooted Bootloader unlocked FireTV 1 devices for the 20% discount before the next 4K Max sale. But I am not sure if I should try the trade in process by sending in my TWRP rooted device as is (boots fine & used them as my current daily devices) or if anybody has yet to successfully unroot a TWRP flash FireTV 1 device ? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Also, how long do they give you to use the 20% discount ? Can you do two trades around the same time to get the discount on two new devices. Any info about how your trades went are appreciated.

Since the trade-in accepts also broken devices without a remote and other stuff, I guess it's too much of a hassle to do the unroot first...
Did the trade-in some time ago, also a bueller box, three bucks and 20% off for 'new' 4k devices (back then this was the cube and 4k-max). The whole process took ages, best is if you start the trade-in about 1,5 to 2 weeks infront of the sale...

No need to unroot before trading it in. Just make sure you wipe your data and you'll be good to go.
I don't know if you can have 2 active trade-ins at the same time, but I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't do the second trade in until after you make the first purchase using the first trade in.
Some people get instant trade in credit, meaning you can use the discount immediately and mail the device after. There's no way to know if you'll get that until you fill out the trade in request.
Lastly, I'm expecting a new Cube to be released around October, if that changes your plans.

Good to know. Right now it shows they are still offering the same $3 + 20% off discount on a accepted working device. I plan to just send the device & remote. Do they require the power cord too ?? Amazon chat said two trade-in's should be fine around the same time. But not sure I trust them. I did copy over the chat incase I decide to do two close to the same time.
Maybe if the New Cube upped the storage to 32GB or above it might make a difference. I doubt most of the other specs will really get an increase. The RAM will probably still be @ 2MB. I actually own two FireTV 4K Sticks which I think are still on rootable FW. But they don't seem to be any hints of those ever getting the FireOS 7 update. Which is what I need to make my Bluetooth usage much simpler.
Does Amazon has Labor Day sales or ? Trying to do the trade in 3 weeks before the next possible sale.
Thanks for the quick reply...

Did the trade-in some time ago, also a bueller box, three bucks and 20% off for 'new' 4k devices (back then this was the cube and 4k-max). The whole process took ages, best is if you start the trade-in about 1,5 to 2 weeks infront of the sale...

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Do you remember if they asked for the power cord too or just the remote & box ??
It is still going for the same rate. $3 + 20% discount. Was told one can do more then one at time by Amazon chat but not sure I trust it. They where not sure how long they give you to use the % off credit. Wonder if there are labor day sales by Amazon or not.

Good to know. Right now it shows they are still offering the same $3 + 20% off discount on a accepted working device. I plan to just send the device & remote. Do they require the power cord too ?? Amazon chat said two trade-in's should be fine around the same time. But not sure I trust them. I did copy over the chat incase I decide to do two close to the same time.

There should be two questions about the condition and the parts at the trade-in page right after you've selected the fireTV model... I would select working condition = yes and accessories = no.

In my country it doesn't make any difference, all possible answers get the same discount, so I guess you can ship only the box in (like I did) and it will be fine.
I bet that the discount thing will not work (to buy two new fireTV devices), if you trade-in two old devices at the same time... maybe it's better to use two accounts.

Maybe if the New Cube upped the storage to 32GB or above it might make a difference. I doubt most of the other specs will really get an increase. The RAM will probably still be @ 2MB. I actually own two FireTV 4K Sticks which I think are still on rootable FW. But they don't seem to be any hints of those ever getting the FireOS 7 update. Which is what I need to make my Bluetooth usage much simpler.

I think the cube isn't worth the price.

Does Amazon has Labor Day sales or ? Trying to do the trade in 3 weeks before the next possible sale.
Thanks for the quick reply...

Afaik the discount only works for 4 weeks or so, after the trade-in confirmation.
In my case the whole trade-in thing with shipping and confirmation took almost 2 weeks.
I guess 14 days infront a sale will be fine, if not you can annoy the support chat, they can give a discount too.
