Check Expansys USA -- they have the 'Lava Grey' (i.e.: black) version for $210, with free basic shipping. 'Natural aluminum' (i.e.: silver) version is s'thing like $30 more. I'm posting this reply in a hurry, so no links -- sorry.
n.b.: Expansys does not specify China (PRC) or Taiwan model, but it's easy to conflate the two countries as 'China'. I asked Expansys to check stock; they sent a fresh device photo, showing /all/ Google services installed.

Thank you for asking.
I just ordered mine because you asked and they replied.... Google Service does make a difference.
I wish they would release the official cover already and it would be perfect!

Hey, you're welcome! But then, I had to ask -- if it's the right model, that's a deal I couldn't pass up.
Do a solid and tap the 'Thanks' button for me, wouldya? Just starting out here, so I need the rep.

Expansys staff person posted a comment that it is "from China and does have Google Play."
I'm not sure what that means but I've ordered one and will find out.

Mine will come tomorrow... I will let you know...

I just received my n1 from Expansys.
I confirm that it does have the Google play store.
It came in Chinese but I changed the language.
The android version is 5.0.1 but it asked me to update the software as soon as I turned it on.. Downloading now.. Hopefully it's 5.1...

NOkia N1 taiwanese version only 257USD !
my friend helped me buy a nokia n1 in taiwan and its cost only 257 USD . is it cheapest ?
haha

My N1 from Expansys has Build number A5FM401. Neither the tablet nor the retail box nor the packaging was shrink wrapped. Is there a reliable way to determine whether it had the TW version with Google Play straight from the factory or whether the software was altered after it left the factory?

Well, I can say that I'm quite happy with the Taiwanese N1 I bought from Expansys USA. It arrived brand-new in factory packaging and after the usual set up (plus some extra time required to get around the initial language barrier) works great...best $210 I've ever spent on an Android device.

Here's what I can tell you, from personal experience.:
• A5FM401 is the factory-installed build for Nokia's Taiwan release of the N1. Shortly after first login, the device will download several OTAs, culminating in Android 5.0.2 (A5FM51C).
• With my N1, the shrinkwrap had been carefully cut likely to open the box for inspection as noted in Expansys' catalog (e.g.: to check for damage and/or a US-type power plug).
• The tablet itself still wore the factory's wrapping. I carefully examined the polythene under bright lights (think C.S.I.: Android !), but saw absolutely no signs of tampering.
• From talking to several people who own the Chinese (PRC) model, nobody in their right mind would go to the trouble of re-flashing one to make it look like the Taiwanese part.
BTW: when I asked Expansys to verify Google's apps, s'body in the warehouse kindly sent a pic of a freshly unboxed/booted Nokia N1. Maybe that's the one you got?
Hope this helps a bit.

I'd like to hear your results, for sake of curiosity. Meanwhile, mine stopped at Android v5.0.2 -- I'm told this is the current final release for Nokia's Taiwanese N1.
To date, only their Chinese (PRC) part has been upgraded to 5.1.1, but since that OTA rolled out just a few weeks ago, I guess there's still hope for the rest of us.

Good reviews, so far, plus I figure you can't go far wrong for $10.

I am happy with the Expansys unit as well, I was debating between the N1 and the new Asus zenpad 8.0 s which has the same processor and slightly better specs but costs more.. The N1 is much better looking and has stock Android which is a big plus.
I hope they will keep on updating it, eventually to Marshmallow, since after all it's stock Android...
Great tablet, I just wish I could find the official cover that doesn't seem to be available anywhere...

It's very helpful - thank you. The info about the build number suggests that the software is original. Someone here said their tablet was rooted, but I suspect they were mistaken. I missed the part in Expansys' catalog stating that they open the boxes for inspection, that makes it much less suspicious.
The tablet is impressive for the price. Build quality, thinness, performance, wireless specs, battery life. I guess that's why I'm questioning - because it looks like it falls into the "too good to be true" category.
Would love to buy a docking station that takes full advantage of the Nokia N1, whatever it offers from the Type C port out of the box or can be hacked. This press release for a dock reference design specifically mentions the N1 tablet, but I suspect because it was one of the earliest devices and not because the dock is optimized for the N1.

Yeah, I'd say he's simply wrong. And I'm a careful guy -- first thing I did after I got my new N1 running was to install AIDA64 (a free HW-analysis app; look for it in the Play Store). It confirmed that the device was not rooted.

Expansys append something like that ('Note that the box will be opened...') for a large number of listings. I guess we can assume they get their stock from a wide variety of sources and under varying circumstances.

LOL I know, right? This thing is just astonishing value for money -- a super device at an unbeatable price. Except for the disappointing camera and (so far) lack of Android v5.1.1, I'm 110% happy with my purchase.

Yep, that would be a neat accessory, for sure. Well, you never know; it's pretty clear Nokia see their future with Android devices, so maybe we can look forward to an upgraded 'N2' tablet, using the same shell.

Couldn't agree more.
The N1 is delightful in it's simplicity, with vanilla Android and elegant design. Nokia took the iPad Mini's basic look and improved it; rounding those famously 'chamfered edges' gives much better feel in the hand.

Oh, for sure! Planning to do exactly that, soon as it arrives.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ UK owners thread

So just kicking this off the the UK folk.
What are your thoughts. Which network to consider. UK specific experiences. Best price hunt for launch date.

Order mine 64gb in gold, carphonewarehouse, coming next week at some point. Just hoping the battery life is as good as my 6 Plus or it will be going back and I'll get the 6S Plus instead.

Ordered a 64Gb Gold one from Carphonewarehouse too, I just hope it doesn't get screwed up like previous phone launch dates and shoddy parcel company deliveries I have experienced in the past. I never get why a launch date is always a Friday with Samsung, if it doesn't arrive on a Friday it usually means a LONG wait until Monday or Tuesday.
Very excited to get this phone.

When is it due to hit UK shops?

mine says 4 september from 3 ..64gb gold
blisspop 3.7.arter97 kernel 7.1. xposed framwork

I reluctantly ordered mine on EE in gold (32GB is all EE offer at present) with 10GB of data which supposedly should arrive on Friday 4th Sept. I currently have the Note3 and was holding out for the Note5 until Samsung dropped the bomb shell on us. I also have a Samsung Gear S which I love so I guess I've sort of bought into the whole Samsung Eco system.
I know I'm going to struggle with 32GB but I'm really hoping to be pleasantly surprised with the S6 Edge+

Seems like the gold version is the hot favourite. I wouldn't touch a gold one with a barge pole haha.
From some of the YouTube videos, the silver one looks the best. Going from past experiences fones4u or someone similar will get it exclusively in that colour. I don't get why all the colours can't be released at the same time. Early adopters will miss out regret and cuss Samsung.
Such an expensive phone though. Thinking about keeping an eye out on some European amazon sites for the silver one. Should be cheaper

I am certain the silver one is not for the European markets. The UK (afaik) is black or gold. All the YouTube reviews I have watched really praise how stunning the gold looks in particular. It's why I ordered one

Same here mate. Went through EE and ordered the black version. The silver one is the one I wanted so gutted it isn't coming to the UK. My wife has just got the S6 Edge in gold and even though it looks nice, it isn;t the colour for myself. She got the clear view case in the same colour so it comes in handy as another compact mirror for when she does her makeup
I'd have liked to get the Note 5 as I too have a Note 3 at the minute. Had to order the S6 Edge+ as I can't go back to smaller screens. I've had a go on the S6 Edge and it seems like a great phone so I thought why not get the big screen version.

RIP Phones4U. The customer service was usually crap but they gave great deals and generally threw the kitchen sink in as well.

I'm not forum UK but im in Europe, Portugal.
I ordered mine today 32GB Gold. Hopefully it will be available on friday.

Is there a source where it says the silver is not coming to the UK?

When I was in the EE store I saw the silver version, which is the one I wanted. When I pre-ordered it they asked what colour I wanted between black or gold. I said silver, as it's on the stand and they said that it was a Samsung supplied unit and no indication of what the store could offer. On the 3 website, the only options are gold and black too. I want the phone sooner rather than later but I bet it works it's way into the country at a later stage from one of the providers.

I heard that they would do anything for a sale which normally meant the customer got some great monthly deals as well as freebies. In the end, it was their downfall.
I thought about getting the 64gb version but I'm tied to EE and they only do the 32....for now. I've checked what I have on my Note 3 from the internal 32 and the 16gb SD card and I think I can get away with the 32gb version. The biggest thing I have on my Note 3 is a Clockwork backup which is about 9gig. If rooting/ROMS do eventually come out for the Edge+ I'll just backup to my laptop.

@PAULO76 I ended up pre ordering the 64gb gold. Have a look at this mate. I have one and they totally rock

Best Buy Preorder's

Just curious if anyone who has ordered a Pixel or Pixel XL gotten their tracking info or any kind of update at all?
I preordered last week , (32gb Blk XL) , and when I check my status of the order, it still says "pre ordered" and nothing else. The free Chromecast shipped yesterday lol.
Really I'm just curious to see where everyone's best buy orders are at. Has anyone received theirs yet?

No movement yet.

I ordered mine the same day it became available on bestbuy site and it still says "pre-ordered" next to status.

My chromecast shipped at 930pm so they've got about 2 hrs if they're following the same schedule with 2 day shipping as stated when I ordered.

Just checked again. Still showing "preordered." I mean, it wouldn't be the first phone I've ever preordered/purchased online that the shipping status never changed and still showed up on time, but it's still an uncomfortable feeling lol I'd rather know for sure.

I'm in the exact same boat here. Still in Pre-Ordered/Processing

I spoke to a BB rep yesterday around 5pm EST about my XL Silver 32 for the big V. He said that the pre-ordered status wont change until launch date but that the phone was still scheduled to arrive by the 20th. He said it should ship today (his timeline) or tomorrow to arrive but I wouldn't see tracking info until thursday. So....yeah....not sure how much I believe that lol

FWIW I spoke to a Best Buy rep over the phone, and she said that since the phone comes out 10/20 it cannot ship before then. She did not sound very knowledgeable, so take with a grain.

Both of my orders with Best Buy now show preparing!!! Just wanted to update you guys.

G Color is pretty good. However I ended up switching it out for the NeoFlex because I screwed up the installation of the G Color one lol.
Also G Color came with a free clear case. Not the best quality, but still it was nice of them to throw that in.

I got the Whitestone Dome one and it's amazing. But not shipping to Canada just yet. I got it because I live on the border and had it shipped to a US address I can use. You guys will love it when you can get it.

Exactly. I had the ClearPlex one from Best Buy but took it off because it felt terrible.

I picked up a glass screen protector from a store in Hamilton as I needed something as I was going out that night paid 40 and it was crap lol I thought it was ok at first but it felt almost like that plastic screen on an OtterBox defender case. I switched cases today and it just came off the phone and I'm glad it did lol. I think I will just go with a case and no screen protector and hope for the best as it seems there are no good curved glass screen protectors for the s8+

haha I agree with you there, but with such limited selection to choose from, it makes it difficult.. especially since pretty much all of the ones I've seen have horrible reviews.
But I NEED a screen protector on my phone! I usually upgrade my phone every 6 months - 8 months and I always sell my previous device.

It's not terribly bad and it is nice and clear. But it doesn't feel as good as glass. If your interested in it you can probably go to Best Buy and I'm sure one of the workers would have a phone with it on that they'd let you look at and touch.

[Q] Samsung Upgrade Program UK for S9/S9+

Hello,
I am part of the Samsung Upgrade Program as of last year when I purchased the Galaxy S8/S8+ through it. However, those devices launched in April last year, and the S9/S9+ are now launching in essentially March. Does this mean we have to wait the additional month to be able to upgrade or will we be able to upgrade early so we will be able to get the device on the launch day of March 9th?
Thanks for your help,
Raheem

Good Morning,
I had the the S7 Edge +, and upgraded it too last year to the S8+, I received an email with a link to go to to process the upgrade.
I've just spoken to the Samsung, on the phone, and they say the emails should be coming out soon.
Fingers Crossed

Thanks kjtaylor13, I was going to phone Samsung today as I was worried that I had missed the communication regarding the upgrade program.

Hi All,
I'm not the most patient of people when it comes to wanting new toys. So after my call to Samsung this morning I have:
1- Tweeted them asking how to upgrade
2- FB Messengered them, the same
3- Online Chat
Results So Far:
1-No Reply
2-No Reply
3-Call Sales team.
I would like a definitive answer as to when / how we can upgrade.
If I get anything I will of course post it here.
Cheers
Kevin

Me too I have been looking and can't find anything. Hope it's soon. Its my first time doing it do we have to send the chargers, headphones and those adapters back too?

I keep all the bits ready to send back in the original box. And try and keep my phone in tip top condition. But I think all they ask is that the phone is in good working condition, with minimal wear.
Had no problem with sending back my S7+
Cheers

I had actually messaged via Facebook last night before I saw this thread, the response I got was that they have changes to the eligibility period for the upgrade program and the only way to find out when you can upgrade is by calling the sales team. Calling centre is a horrible experience, it's just the same repeated message, 'it will take more than 5 minutes to answer your call'... yes I know I've been waiting for over 15 mins...

I have spoken with Samsung and the financial company about the upgrade programme as like you say the S8 was released less than a year ago. Samsung didn't seem to know how the upgrade programme worked and asked me to contact the financial company who stated that we could only upgrade after 12 months of starting the agreement with them, which for me was April 17 even though I got my S8 from pre order last year??
I still haven't heard anything through their facebook messenger and I did contact them last night

I preordered my s8+ however there was a mess up and I didn't get it until about 2 weeks after lainch, perhaps that's why I've been pushed back.

Where did you find your agreement number? It says 7 digits but mine show as 9xxxxx-001 or ref P4L-xxxxxxx (which doesn't work without the P4L either)

It was on an email I received from Close Brothers, 1XXXXXX-001 and just ignore the last 3 digits and dash.

Hi,
Mine was XXXXXXX-001 so I removed the -001 and was able to use that.
