as per title what carriers in the UK offer the note unbranded and unlocked?I know O2 is unbranded but still locked.
I did see a tool on this forum that seems to unlock notes so O2 is looking to be a the preferred option.
Car phone warehouse I believe, will sell you one, although when I bought a replacement for mine, whilst waiting for my original note to be repaired, I bought mine from ASDA online, which was strangely the cheapest place to get one from (at the time), this was earlier this year and cost £384
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

I Got mine online at buymobilesonlione in April and its unbranded, unlocked and on the 3 network (their all you can eat data + HSPA+ makes a good combination) got phone free and pay £25 per month 500 mins 3000 texts and All you can eat (completely uncapped) data. Being unbranded means I seem to get the updates long before the carrier versions too.

Hi,
I'm planning to come to the UK in the holiday season. As the S3 4G is very difficult to get a hold of in France, I was thinking of maybe getting in the UK.
What's the best place to get it in London? It will have to be off contract and preferably sim unlocked.
Cheers.
Best bet is to get one on gumtree.com/london/ but make sure you get receipts and make sure its not just a stolen phone.
Orange France have the I9305. And if they don't yet they will very very soon. Worth giving them a call. My I9305 was destined for France but I got it direct from Samsung.

I got mine from Gumtree and made sure that the seller had a receipt to go with the phone. Make sure that the seller has been on the site for a considerable amount of time to reduce the risk of scams.
There's plenty of sealed S3 LTE's in London going for around £400
Very expensiv Maybe get one of ebay germany
Hello guys, I'm curious about the normal price of this phone in your country. I've discovered varying price range among certain countries from eBay and Amazon, and since the phone has not officially been released in my country, I cannot know what is the normal price for it. Perhaps you may share the price quotes in your country in this thread?

I bought my mobile in last year's christmas. It was R$899 brazilian Real, U$440, €340. Now you can find it by R$ 999 reais.
So the lowest is still $440. Hmm. I begin to question those sold for under $300 on ebay. The seller even offered manufacturer warranty for 1 year. Any1 has experience buying from them?

in germany amazon sells it for 297 euro. that's about 380 usd. (by the way, amazon ships all over europe for free. the prices in the different amazon stores sometimes vary a lot! so it's worth to check)
I'm from Indonesia, so Amazon is pretty much out of my zone. My only option is ebay for international purchase. Well, I guess the idea of buying the phone is behind me now as I've learnt that the phone is still incompatible with certain apps that I play and use. Thanks for the info guys

The official price in Mexico with Telcel is $8,000 MXN (around 630 USD), but there's been a promo since the launch offering the phone for $6,000 MXN (around 475 USD). In the beginning the guys from the stores said it will only last the current month, but now it's the normal price.

jeah, sorry. just saw it a few minutes later. earlier that day, i placed an order
Hi all! I really want to buy the Xperia Z1 but I'm an american and I might have to import it. I keep on looking at a site called Negri. I want to buy it unlocked but it has to work on tmobile's HSPA+42 network. I hear there are different models but I don't see model listing numbers on any sites for preorder. My phone currently is a lg G2x. I've tried many custom roms but its on its last legs.
I keep on looking at sony.com and sony mobile.com but I don't even see it for preorder (usa sites). Is the Negri the international version?
If anyone knows anything please give me a hand. Also is the bootloader locked?

I've been looking at Negri's site also for the Z1. According to the spec description, all the necessary bands are there for it to work on T-Mo. I say you contact Negri customer service to confirm that or just wait till the phone is released on T-Mo. With T-Mo carrying the Z, I wouldn't count them out on carrying the Z1. Just for your reference, my international HOX is getting the 3G sign on T-Mo instead of the H.
Order from clove.co.uk or handtec.co.uk
they are better than negrielectronics, plus usually negri kinda lags on their shipping dates because they get their devices from wholesalers or dealers w/e.
order from the above sites, its about 20 dollars cheaper, and you get a FREE SMART WATCH ($250)!!!!
plus they will get the device starting on the 16th, so it will ship 16-20, with 1-3 day shipping to the US.
The devices sold by these two companies are C6903 which have all the freq/bands for t-mobile. So it should work unless something horrible goes wrong when we get them (doesnt work lol).

Hi all,
I just recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking to pre-order the phone from one of 2 UK sites; www.clove.co.uk and/or www.unlocked-mobiles.com.
Does the phone need to be unlocked for use of T-Mobile?
Are phones from UK auto unlocked or do I need to check with these 2 companies?

Thanks for the source for ordering the Z1 in Europe. These are really great deals, Negri is pretty much $50 more (that's what it looks like when I run the conversion on XE.com) and there's no smart watch offer. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before these deals are gone.

The phones on the sites above should be unlocked. You should probably pick between clove and handtec that were recommended, unlock-mobiles offers the phone around the same price, but doesn't have the offer for free Sony Smart Watch 2. Clove and handtec will be the better deal.

I've put the product in the basket and almost went through the ordering process just so I could see the actual USD total in Paypal. The cost is running close to $78X.XX which is quite high, but do remember, they're throwing in the smartwatch 2 which is worth at least $250. Just want to make sure you don't get shocked by the bill. Paypal may or may not be using the currency rate from XE.com or other currency sites.
I ordered mine from HandTec UK and it is 1-3 day FedEx shipping to the US. The cool thing is that it also comes with a free Smartwatch 2! I checked with T-Mobile and the unlocked Xperia Z1 should support all the bands for HSPA and 4G LTE.

No sites that I know of. I really want to find another site because HTC.com is $35 and I want one cheaper.

I don't mind the $35. I want it. I just don't feel like ordering on the web and waiting to get it if I can get it today.
Best Buy doesn't even sell HTC branded stuff in their stores.. I'm going to try a Verizon or Sprint store today.

Missed it yesterday, they were selling it on HTC.com for 50% off. Tuesdays they've been doing these hot deals. Most of the time it was 50% off accessories.
I've bought it on HTC UKs website, 15W.

Cant seem to find them on HTC´s Portuguese website. WE have a different power connecter than USA or UK.
Anyone knows where I can find one?
