Whose importing a One X?

Well, I just ordered one from Handtec... Wish I had a cheaper hobby...
I've always been a Sense fan, and I'm looking forward to trying the phone out. It's really going to have to be great though to beat my current phone (Galaxy Note International.)
Who else has ordered from across the pond? Who'd you order from?

What's the turnaround from those guys?

I'll let you know... Their site says it's in stock.
I did order a little late their time (4:30pm I think) so I wouldn't expect shipment today but I'd hope it goes out tomorrow.

Cool--I was thinking of ordering from Expansys USA or Negri potentially since they are US based, but would consider importing if the cost wasn't a lot more and I could have it sooner.

It might be a hassle if there was anything wrong with the phone, but it's not more expensive. Even with shipping my total came to $681 shipped and that was WITH the HTC sleeve (not in stock.)
I think it will also be faster as long as they get it shipped in a reasonable time frame. It says delivery in 2-4 days after it's shipped, which is about what it would be from a US seller unless you pay for expedited shipping.
I e-mailed Negri when they expected to receive theirs and never got a reply, so that's why I went to Handtec.

Negri tweeted out this morning they are expecting to ship out on Friday. So delivery next week.
I am also thinking of going with Handtec, they are cheaper and will most likely get you the phone this week.

I have a preorder with Negri, placed last week. They reckon both colors should be arriving around Friday, but black might be just slightly sooner to arrive. No info on whether they have enough stock in the first shipment to cover all current preorders.

Just ordered a white One X from Handtec today as well, to Vancouver, says 1-4 days when i ordered... which hopefully translates to thursday or friday.

I'm in Australia right now and the retail stores are selling "Optus software unlocked" versions for $658 AUD. Would you buy an Optus unlocked phone if your intention is to use it in the U.S.? Is it possible to get future software updates if they will most likely be pushed out by Optus? I'll be in the States probably on T-Mobile. Thanks.

yep ordered through clove and they should be shipping tomorrow to new york. just hope i can get it this week, and not next :/
this is my first phone im ordering over seas, if there is a software update does it still get pushed to our phones? been wondering that. thought it might matter that im not on their carriers out there.

Absolutely. You will get updates directly from HTC anywhere long as you have access to the Internet which I'm sure you do

That is what i figured, just wasn't sure. Thanks!

I have an order from negrielectronics.com that I placed last week. I have gotten an email answering my question about possible dates for shipment, and the response was something to the effect: "We don't any phones in stock and are not sure when we will get them". I kinda wish i found Handtec selling them sooner, I payed about $675 for only the phone ><.

I definitely agree for unbranded factory unlocked phones. But is this also true of carrier branded phones with bloatware? Don't updates then go through the carrier? And if so, can you still get the updates if you don't use the carrior's simcard?

Negri have posted several times on Twitter that they're expecting phones to start shipping out to customers from Friday.

Why would you use it on T-Mobile? It only gets 2G on T-Mobile.

Where to buy HTC One X (Unlocked)

I found that the best deal so far is being offered by expansys UK. They are bundelling krusell screen protector with the device too.
Price for me will be £396.94 / $643.
Any knows where I can get a better deal?

Handtec has it for $631 and you'll get it overnight. It'll also be a UK phone vs. Malaysian which is what Expansys has been shipping. If you're rooting and ROM'ing it won't make a difference. Also, if you need warranty repairs, you have to send your phone to Expansys who then sends it to an overseas affiliate who sends it to HTC. If you buy it in the UK your warranty is with HTC directly.

I found a deal also on Plemix.com for $605

Sorry but Plemix's price is $599
anyone tried those sites before??
do you know which version do they sell??

I got mine from Amazon. Not the cheapest, however, you'll get your device overnight, the support is good, and you have 30 days time to return your Device without a reason, even if it is unlocked. If you want to get a Replacement, they send you the replacement overnight, and you can send your old phone back in the same package the new one came in. This is quite helpful if you have a one x with problems...

Plemix is legitimate, I used to get my phones from them. Their company should be located in HK, so I would guess the version should be asian. E-mail them to check, I remember them being pretty good at responding back.

have you ever tried them?

Are you asking about Negri? I placed an order with them over the weekend the one x first came out and didn't even get an acknowledgement, though my amex payment went through. When I emailed on Monday, I was told sorry nothing available and they had no idea when stock would come in. So I cancelled my payment through Amazon and got an immediate email saying oh gee they had one for me but it would cost $70 more to ship. I said no and ordered from Expansys. Have been happy with my one X since. I don't like being jerked around and won't deal with Negri again.

someone in another thread said expansys is selling the malaysian model??? i don't know. the one i received came in a box that said taiwan, indicating taiwan production and system language choices were all european. in fact, american english was not an option - so i downloaded morelocale2 to get that. there is the option to use keyboards from a larger group of languages that include asia.
i would check with expansys re model being sold, as i imagine that could change depending on what's available in the supply chain.
i should add that in another thread another uk retailer was listed. i am sorry, i can't remember the name.

[q] can anyone recognise the reciept and tell me the chain store name?

hello guys,
i am from the uk and nexus 7 isnt available here until september atleast. So i asked a friend to get it for me. She sent me a reciept in which extra taxes are also added. i heard people buying 32gb for as low as 233 where i got it for 289. She bought it from Lakevlle Minnesota. Can anyone tell me the store name from the reciept?

Reward Zone = Best Buy
Looks legitimate.

The $230 may have been from Staples during the short time that they honoured a $30 coupon.

thanks alot for your quick reply mate.
However, there is still a sale at office max with 20 percent off. As i am more than happy to get nexus sooner than most of the world, i do not really care about the money.
I heard people call best buy n negotiate with them to get refunds. Is it true and if that is applicable?

Yeah that's legit and the regular price of the 32gb Nexus 7. People who are getting it for $233 were probably getting it at Office Max with the 20% off coupon that's been floating around on the forums here.
Edited to add: Yes Best Buy will price match things. But I'm pretty sure your friend would have to go to the store and show them the receipt along with the 20% off coupon. I don't think Best Buy would do it over the phone.

Best Buy. You can read the inverted logo that would be on the back. All good. Sure Office Max has a coupon but getting it takes work. I don't even think office max is accepting the coupon and you have to basically con other stores to price match.
So be happy someone did you a favor. Everything is good now.

Yes, I am thinking the same thing. I am getting nexus for 290 dollars which is more than 229 (350) quids that i will pay in the UK. Still not a bad choice. Although, best buy says it will match the price on its store and I will talk to her and see where it goes. The receipt says 4th August, so is the coupon valid by then or not (OfficeMax) ? I wouldnot have a problem if she can't. Cheers again

I bought my Nexus the day BestBuy released them early (July 26). When the 20% Office Max coupon was released, I was able to just bring the coupon and my receipt to the service desk and have the manager adjust the price. Saved me $54 pre-tax.
EDIT: BestBuy will do any price adjustments up to 15 days after purchase, so your friend should be good. The Office Max coupon expires on August 10th and can be found by googling for Office Max 20% Printable Coupon.
The coupon just needs to be printed and you need the original receipt. Also, I had to go to Best Buy service desk because the transaction is something that must be authorized by a manager.

Ironically, I drove by this exact best buy last night! There was a crazy rain storm here in MN yesterday, and there was this area of road that was rather flooded. Had a fun time driving through it Then we went to the Chili's that is next to this best buy! I had even thought about going in before hand to check out the N7, but it was closed by the time we got there.

Release of SW2 in US?

According to Sony, it's not officially released in US yet. So where do you guys buying it from? I see it's being sold on Amazon (US) but is that an official Sony US retailer? Others mention eBay and someone mentioned a store in the mall (DC I think?), etc. I understand Amazon merchants could be from UK or in general outside of US, the same with ebay. So, are there any official US stores that sell it? And for those who bought it in US, where you able to contact Sony support (in US) to answer your questions?

Newegg
Amazon listed as 2-4 weeks and the other companies listed on Amazon are not Authorized Dealers. I checked. So I found it on Newegg. They were in stocked and shipped next day. Love the watch but I wish there were more apps. Where's the weather app and no watch faces.

Hi guys, if I buy the watch from Amazon.co.uk with metal strap, can I get support from Sony USA under warranty terms? Does Sony have international warranty for their products? Thanks!

newegg all the way. originally ordered from mobile fun, but after they backordered it for two weeks despite them having it listed as in stock and ready to ship, i cancelled and called newegg. the girl said they had about 76 in stock so i ordered it from them. 199 +25 for overnight shipping. ordered it friday and got it on monday.. ive had the watch for about week and i love it, even though the amount of apps is pretty depressing. give me a music widget and a battery percentage icon, and ill be good for a while. :good:

Sony.com has both models in stock now for $199.99/$219.99. I just placed my order. There appears to be a glitch right now that allows you to get the 3 year replacement/accidental damage plan for free! Add the watch to the cart, but do not select a warranty plan. Edit the warranty plan within the card and for some reason the 3-year plan is $0. I used Chrome, if that matters....

MobileFun is bad news. I ordered from them and wasn't even given a confirmation email. Very poor communication and their US phone number just rings. I had to get my credit card company involved to cancel my order. They said it was in stock when I ordered (Oct 15th) and wouldn't give me any further information on shipment or backorder status.
