MobilePlanet customers

Did anyone receive their Kaiser from MobilePlanet yet?
If yes when did you guys pre-order?
Thanks

I pre-ordered mine on Aug/27 ... at that time ETA was sept/09
last few days, they have been pushing it back a week...
and as of today it has been pushed back further ( sept/20 !! )
I emailed them for answer and told them that i will cancel the order if they keep doing it again !! ( not good for one's heart ..LMAO !
BTW ... at the original time .. my order was quoted $799 USD + %7.5 tax + S&H (14.99 ) --->>> TTL= CDN $924 +
anyone know anything regarding the quoted price & the balloon prices ???
am I obligated to pay a higher price once stock is in ?? do I get the discount price if it happen to be lower then at the ordered time ??
I'd also emailed them about this already ... and I'm about that close to canceling !!!
there are stocks around ... but it's not right for expansys to keep playing with customers emotion like this ... you're so close to the date & then they just crush your bubbles .. not only one time, but again & again !
and why suh a price cut throat/difference when it is also from the same company but different region ??
Mexico is almost $100 USD higher ??

Dude I assume that you are in Canada as you converted your order to Canadian. I ordered one with SuperiorGadgets.com from here in Canada and it was only $911 inc Gst and shipping. He will ship by the 9th he says. If price goes down you will be credited if it goes up, they eat the difference. Click on the link at the top of the forum page.

Thanks again
P.S ... the %7.5 tax charged ... they assured me it will cover "customs" ... absolutely no hidden/surprise charges.

Website showing Due Sept 20th.... I just called Mobileplanet Customer service and they told me that they do have it in-stock... I just ordered once and it will be shipped today

Are you all paying $800+ because you want it so bad? Isn't the retail price from Cingular supposed to be $499? Granted, its whenever that will be.

Just called mobileplanet. They did get an order of 1000 in but they were for retailers and the old backorders. Mine was one day short so will ship next week . Not sure how you managed to snag one today. As far as paying full price there are several reasons.
1) I dont like locked phones.
2) I wanted the base OS not at&t
3) at&t's data plans are incredibly expensive and the difference in data plans would more than offset the 200 saving in less than a year and I would be bound to it for 2 years. Yes I know they have 3g but I dont use data on the go much and edge is fine for now and wifi is everywhere.

Anyone bought the kaiser at a decent price recently?

Has anyone bought the kaiser at a decent price recently? From the feedback in the forums, tursted web stores are a lot more expensive Even ebay is getting expensive...

I got mine from Orange (in the UK). My contract just expired - I spend about £50-80 per month and I negotiated 300 minutes, 500 text, 30MB data per month with unlimited data at evening and weekends for free, plus I got the phone for free as well!
The only other vendor in the UK that I know is selling the Tytn II is T-Mobile. Hit Orange with T-Mobile's web n walk service and they will probably bend a little, especially if you talk to the cancellations department - they will do everything they can to stop you leaving...

I got mine from egadget depot .com price match available and honest merchant with fast shipping.

Cheapest I found was £428 inc P&P at http://www.handtech.co.uk/

Att website has the TILT for a reasonable price:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...etails/?device=AT&T+Tilt(TM)&q_sku=sku1060009

I own a small business. I recently moved 25 lines over from Sprint to AT&T. This was via an authorized dealer (AT&T franchise). They gave me my Tilt for $300.00 bucks. I will never deal with a corporate store again. It's almost like they have more freedom to do what they want in order to win business. My friend moved his family plan over from Tmobile to AT&T with the same franchise and they gave him the same deal as me.

Got mine from craigslist. Brand new at&t tilt for $400.00 even. best deal ever.

got mine for 300 euro's at a place they call the black market they sell all sorts of things before the official release date and for a reasonable price oya and thats only the phone with no contract or monthly payment it used to be the vario 3 but i sim unlocked it and flashed it with the dutch rom

There getting 499.00 at the att stores here. Retail ,no contract needed.
Add in 6% tax and 15 bucks to unlock it and your at 534 grand total.
Just walkin and walk out with a new phone.
What gets me is how someone would pay over 600 plus shipping on Ebay for the same thing (locked to att also). And theres alot of buy it nows on ebay over 600 bucks for a tilt. I must be missing something, I dont understand that.

OK whats the lowest price available for the tytn ii not the att tilt?

2 weeks ago from an AT&T store in NYC featuring a special $50 additional discount for 3 days - paid $350 + tax less $100 MIR = $250

care to explain the details?

I have bought 4 units so far for family and friends. For Shops I would recommend Inkino Ltd at 48 Tottenham Court Road and 9 Great Russell Street. They recently had deals for HTC TyTN II P4550 Kaiser and 6GB Micro SD for £499.95.
I have also bought a unit from www.htcdirect.co.uk I was impressed with their speedy service, responses to my email queries and the unit turned up very nicely packaged. I will be using them in the future too. The only reason I went with HTCDirect was that Inkino had sold out at the time. Its always good to know more than one good source.

Price Confirmed?

Hi,
Two leading online mobile sites have posted their price for the unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Does this mean that the price has been confirmed for this set?
On both sites (Xpansys and Dechowireless), the price for X1 is the same. It is - brace yourself - $949.00 to $949.99. (a 0.99 difference actually)
I have been expecting it to be a whooping $1100 since long now, so this price on these two sites is a relief. Not to mention, Xpansys selling for $949 could mean that you may be able to get it a bit cheaper for some other site or shop. (this is say not from personal experience)
So now that i know that the price is close to the others - as an example, Touch Pro on Xpansys is $899 and on Dechowireless is $920) - the question remains; which set to buy?
Best Regards.

I forgot to include the site links...
http://www.expansys-usa.com/
http://www.dechowireless.com/store/index.php
(You can use the country selector in Expansys to select your country or a one near you to get that country's site with pricing that currency)

Well Amazon.de has it listed at 639 euros, which is about as much.
http://www.amazon.de/Ericsson-XPERI...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1221952119&sr=8-1
On a side note, Touch HD is listed at 619 euros.
http://www.amazon.de/HTC-Blackstone...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1221662764&sr=1-3

Well I am told devices are usally the same price in euros and dollars, not conversion for equal value. Meaning it will be 639 USD (assuming 639 Euro is correct).

Nope that is not the case. Consider Expansys...
Their US site lists the price as: $949.99.
Their UK site lists the price as: £584.99.
Funny thing is that taking into account the current currency rates and converting the price, £584.99 should equal a little over $840. I also converted through XE.com and same result.
Looking over at Expansys's other sites, some countries' have higher price in comparison to others... the cheapest i've seen so far is on their UK site... (so i'm guessing that the other prices include delivery to the country - considering that Xperia is launching in UK and a few other countries before others - so it will probably come down on those countries as it is launched there locally)

Yep... Amazon's price is pretty much the same as Expansys's price... as for the Touch HD, i have it on my list of mobiles to look at if Xperia doesn't get the reviews i'm hoping for. But after Xperia i've got my eyes on HTC Touch Pro... i'm thinking of going for a device with a keyboard - unless HTC Touch HD is really something else. (i've had a 1st gen iphone since it launched and am pretty tired of it and its on screen keyboard and all)

You can't compare the prices this way. Great Britain has no € ! The Pound in Great Britain is totaly different.
The German amazon prize of 639 € is tax included! And the tax is different in different countries. Therefore you first have to look, where is the prize from, than if tax is included or not and get the prizes without tax to compare

355€ here!

Can't be right, the Diamond is more expensive than Xperia there...

According to them its "In Stock, Ready for immediate shipment." I'm ordering 5! I would be wary of them..

Check their specs... they are either completely pulling your legs, or are selling prorotype models: "128MB RAM,"

The specs says 128 ram so they are selling prototypes.

The cheap logitel price moved up to 625 € http://www.logitel.de/handys/marken/SonyEricsson/xperia_x1_solid_black__302.html

Cheapest price at the moment is about 600 EUR.

Disappointed with pricing outside google play

You may or may not have heard about this but if you live in a country where purchasing devices from google play isn't available(which is like 98% of the countries),you will have to pay a whopping 549 euros for the 16gb nexus 4(that's the pricing in Austria,dunno about the rest of the world but it will most likely be the same).I will actually have to pay more than double the original price of a phone that got 16gb non expandable storage.And if I bought it online,I will have to sacrifice local warranty.It just looks like google is doing their best to force me not to get their nexus devices.There's just a big hype about how cheap the nexus 4 is with cutting-edge hardware ignoring the fact that only people living in certain countries can get it for that price.Why can't google be fair ? Guess I might end up getting Gnote 2,at least it got a micro SD slot.

Wow. This sucks. Nice find! For that price, I'd definitely go for a Note II!

i am personally ready to be robbed by those retail stores. it sucks but then the price tag wasn't the deciding factor.

Maybe see if someone from another country can buy it from the play store and have them mail it to you? Providing the shipping cost is realistic?

I'll get one from Germany too.
If anyone wants to order for me send me a PM.

I am screwed, since I live in the Netherlands. No Playstore here. Hopefully the online shops will sell against Playstore prices, or less Sucks I can't order from European Playstores btw, so much for European 'shop integration'.

Yep, I can't but devices from the play store here either.... :/ just hope its at a reasonable price or else I'll have to ask someone to buy for me... its not there on expansys yet either

I think we should wait official pricing for other countries. However, if in Italy the prices will be so high, I'll buy it online from another European country.

But I have doubts this will really happen. That would be pretty stupid of Google. Look at the price if the nexus tablet. That's also pretty cheap for what it has to offer.

I completely agree, I live in Chile and the carriers here are just thieves, the galaxy nexus retails here for around 750 USD contract free.
Gladly my brother is going to USA on december and he might get one N4 for me there at a normal price.
Does anyone knows if you can buy a nexus product online? Becouse whenever I try to go to the website says its restricted to my country, I dont know if its possible to shop online outside the US. I wouldnt care not having warranty if I pay 300 box.

I think that Google is selling the product below the MSRP because they expect people to post some of those saved euros into producst on the store.
It's 549€ here as well, and also in Sweden as far as i know.

It would be awesome if some XDA peeps located in Europe and have access to Playstores could help out their fellow European members

Nope,not yet but well LG said that the nexus 4 will be available in the middle east end of november so I assume Egypt is included.Nexus devices do take a long time to be available here.The galaxy nexus for example took freakin 6 months and it was exclusive to vodafone.Asus Egypt said that the nexus 7 should be available in mid october but so far nothing...

Preordering?

So are we going to be able to purchase the phone directly from Google not the play store? All I have seen so far is carrier listings and I would rather buy it direct.
Thanks

650 euros is significantly more than 650USD, ~530 is more of a fair asking price. I'll feel bad if someone pays 650 euros for a phone.
