Had anyone ordered a Note with one of the major UK companies? I'm waiting to see if Orange will be getting it, no one seems to have heard of it in Customer Services. And there's no info with O2 , Vodafone or T-Mobile.
Any info greatly appreciated,

Clove will have stock Thursday 11/3. Unlocked mobile will send its second shipment early next week. First shipment sold out and sent 10/28.
Have a look here - http://www.onecompare.com/phone/samsung/galaxynote/monthly-contract
Higher up front cost and lower monthly here - http://www.onecompare.com/phone?hs=...=30&contract=&gift=&extra=1&cashback=&sortby=
The Note has only been announced as being available on O2 in the UK so far based on Samsung's London event last week, the launch date was originally due to be tomorrow but has been moved to 03/11, however this device is not showing on the o2 coming soon page. It is however showing on internal stock checking system with no release date..
Phones4U only have Orange on their website, however it has a deliver date of 23 Nov...
I'd love to hear about contract versions of this phone and when all of the information will be released. It seems strange that with the phone's imminent release that none of the stores appear to have any information and all of the company websites don't appear to be showing any dates.
For such a powerful/expensive/flagship handset the PR and marketing for the masses is terrible in the UK. No store is advertising it at all :/
yeah i've been to high st shops today in London. carphonewarehouse , phone4u , o2 , vodafone but non of them know what galaxy note is ,,, lol oh well,
ps. on carphonewarehouse website the galaxy note is on comingsoon page.
I've met samsung representative on 25 Oct (Friday) in Carephone warehouse with galaxy note in his hands.
When I asked him about availability he told me that it's going to be in on Monday 28th Oct, which didn't seem right. Been there again today and they still are waiting for the stock.
Hopefully it'll be in on Thursday so I'll finally judge whether to pull the trigger and take it.
I'm waiting to see if the GNote will be made available on the 3 network, to make the most of the "all you can eat" data plans.
I'll wait until I see it in the flesh too - having read some of the posts on here, I would imagine Shaq would struggle to hold it!

It's a shame that the only options for "real" unlimited data plan is either 3 network or giffgaff (you'll need o2 locked or unlocked phone for this one tho) :/.
It's so easy to exceed more than 1 GB bandwidth, especially with downloading apps, wallpapers or watch some videos on youtube.
on buymobilephones.net can preorder contract Expected on 19/11/2011 , on vodafone, Tmobile ,orange and o2 network.

Thankyou for all the info guys. Really hoping it turns up on Orange so as I could upgrade soon, I've delayed that option for a couple of months in hope of a larger screen device.
Once again, thanks

Shame is so expensive! You can usually pick up high end phones for free on £25 a month I'll have to pay £100 upfront and £31 p/m to get this!

This is at the top end of high end phones and is brand new with limited stock at the moment. SIM free in the UK it is at least £540 unless you look to import it from abroad. Whichever way you cut it to have this phone and airtime is going to cost.
£100 + £31 x 24 = £844.
You must be getting a lot of minutes/texts/data for that price. There are contract deals for a hair over £700 over two years, but that's £210 up front and then ~£20 per month. If I wanted a contract that's the way I'd go, but instead I've bought SIM free from amazon.de (£486 for the phone) and will be using giffgaff to run the phone. Worst case for me is that I pay £10 per month to giffgaff for a goody bag, but in practice I don't need much mobile data and can get by with even less cost by paying as I go. It's also worth considering buying SIM free and then looking at 12 month SIM only contracts, which can net out to around £8 per month with cash back. Check out http://www.hotukdeals.com/mobiles/deals/hot to seek out some good offers. Example - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/t-mobile-300-minutes-300-texts-choose-your-booster-1050776
My last branded phone (Orange San Francisco) was so riddled with network operator crud that it had to be rooted and modded to remove the toot. Orange have never released a ROM upgrade for it in over 12 months so I'd still be stuck on 2.1 Eclair if I'd played by their rules. Now I'm running CM7 on it and all is good. It would need to be a persuasive contract deal to make me want to put up with that crap ever again.
For anyone wanting to go the contract route you can use cash back websites to take a little of the sting out of the deal. I use TopCashBack and Quidco. Probable savings are a minimum of £30 and possibly over £100, although the cash back is not guaranteed.
Just to elaborate on the last post...
Amazon.de is cheap... £470 for the note...
Since my T-Mobile contract is up...my £15mnth contract can go down to £9 automatically...if I haggle..then much less.
£9 x 24 (New Galaxy Contracts are 24mnths) = £216
+
£470 for the phone
= £686
Most retailers in the UK are selling the Note for £570-650 so £686 with a contract is a bargain. So it is better to buy the phone sim free and find a cheap contract.
The Note contracts are £35 minimum for 24 months plus they make you pay for the phone. 35 x 24 = £840 !! plus £30-£120 for the phone = EXPENSIVE..
Thing is will there be a difference between the German (EU) version and the UK version in terms of the look/feel of the software and the updates?

^ Seems like a decent contract to me (suits my needs...) 24 * 25.54 = £612.96 + £129.99 for phone = £742.95 .. £56.95 for expensive but it saves me £470 upfront costs... but I will ring the T-Mobile upgrade number to haggle...I don't want to pay for the phone...

What about this one - 18 * 25.54 = £459.72, plus £179.99 for the phone = £639.71
That's pretty good... only downside is its 300 / 300 ... I can live with that... but in case you do ever need to use more the charges will rack up.
Right now for £9.32 a month I get 600mins, 500 texts, Unlimited Internet (1GB) , Unlimited Landline Booster... Usual cost of this contract excluding landline booster is £25+ ... and they only give you 500mb instead of the 1gb I currently enjoy.
so it works out better for me to buy the note sim free from Germany.
May be when O2 / carphone warehouse etc reveal there tariffs we will have a better idea of what to do.

Is it just me or is that really high? Or is that just what they go for over there? (I paid not even half that amount for mine)
Plus if someone is reading the Kaiser forum isn't it safe to assume they already have a Kaiser?
Brand new TyTN II's retail for around £450! I paid £460 for mine in Feb, then the price jumped to around £500 now its back to £450. The Touch Pro I want to upgrade to costs £500 at the moment.
I see you are a smart Alec but do you realise many people check this forum for info before they buy their devices just like I did and there are also many people with broken Kaisers that may want a replacement. I find your comments a bit uninformed for a senior member.
Honestly that is a little pricy! check gumtree to have an idea of price (just an idea) some may be fake, but i think its just a little over the top..#

Seriously man, you got ripped off.
That is not what they cost.
I did a little price checking and I couldn't find any online that are close to that expensive.
You can buy them brand new for cheaper than you are selling yours used for.
And yes, of course, there will be a couple people here that might possibly be interested in buying a Kaiser, buy the fact is that percentage of the total users here will be very small, and you will have more luck posting almost anywhere else.
Well I must admit the price is in the top for a used Tytn II... However saying that £300 is a price that is more than a new Tytn II just isn't true!
In Denmark the TYTN II costed about £ 520 when it was released around a year ago...
Now I'm not sure if you guys that say the price is to high have thought about that the £300 is without any contract? And saying that I actually find it very strange that many people in here buy their phone cheap but commits them selves to an expensive contract for 2 years knowing many of you will look after a new phonemodel after 6 months... ;-)
I would like to know what the total price is for a £150 TYTN II after the contract is over? If it's under the £300 then you're right the price is to high - if not then it must be ok... (saying that though the price for a used TYTN II is about £200 - £300 depending about the quality and extra stuff)
For reference my used Kaiser cost me $190USD which is about £120. So less than half of what you are asking.
£300 is over $600CAD. Yes I absolutely CAN buy a NEW Kaiser for less than that (no contract)
Maybe the pricing is different in the stores over there, but online that is what they go for.
In the UK, a Kaiser brand new offline definately costs £350 plus. If you buy off ebay they will around £200 depending on condition and if you buy/upgrade with a 12 month contract you can get it free but it may be a Vario3 etc.
So £300 is at the top end but depending on condition you might be able to sell for close to that on ebay. Especially if it is non branded and sim unlocked and includes your satnav software.
Maybe you checked some online stores in Kabul but if you look at the reputable and hTc recommeded sites I have listed below you will find out the cheapest one costs £435.

Got a new from ebay for £299 about a year ago. Lost it in a taxi last week, got another new one from ebay for £217 a couple of days ago. You can get a new touch pro for around £400 on ebay now.
Hey m8 dont wana ruin ur chances of selling but im from east london as well and bought a tytn2 off a mate for just under 150. writing this on it now and it also isnt scratched etc.
300 is high imho 200 is a reasonable amount maybe pushing 250 with ur co pilot stuff
I think that the OP understands the opinions on prices, but this is not a set market, and he can choose to sell it at what ever HE feels is fair.
so lets quit with the thread crapping.

No one was hating, I was just asking if that was really what they go for over there. Apparently it is. But then again I have sold phones for well over market value a few times as well.
$580USD for a used one is crazy. You should buy them from over here and sell them there you would make a killing. You could easily make $200-$300 profit on each one.
Indeed, European prices are ripoffs... Here a new Kaiser at retail price without contract is still $900 now! You can go down to about $450 with a 2-year contract.
However it's interesting to see that the used market prices are very low, no way you'd sell one at the price the OP sold it for, they usually go for under $400.
There are already concurrent offers (some guy sells refurbished/as new ones for about $280 with 1GB card and in large quantities...) or people get them off ebay.
This thread is madness!
I don't know anyone that would pay 300 quid for a used Kaiser.
I got mine over a year ago (the week they were released in the UK) free from T-mobile!
They were selling it then for 350 without contract!
You must have found a complete muppet to pay that much, good on you!
Seriously, just have a look on ebay right now - the most expensive one (out of 53) is 230 pounds!
300 euros for used?
kaiser can be easily found new for less than 400$ (~277euro)
Please use this thread for all discussion relating to places other than the Google Play Store that are selling the Nexus 7.
The 'Who's selling the Nexus 7' thread
I will collect all buying advices for all regions for the new nexus 7.
1. For Europe
propably the cheapest solution is toget it from ebuyer.com through boarderlinx i used google checkout and my order was accepted.
a stock warning after ordering is afaik normal because they don't have it in stock yet.
2.Asia
I think you are stugged with buying it from ebay.com or find a importer (there are afaik now some good ones in japan and southkorea specialized on tech a friend of mine bought a kindle fire there 2 days after release the prices are mad though).
please calculate with import taxes!!
have you found a good australian site?

The 'Who's selling the Nexus 7' thread
Ebay is not an option for me since it will probably be slow since sellers would like the devices before starting an actualy auction. Also it WILL be more expensive.
I would like to be able to use something like Borderlinx.com , but problem right now is in google checkout which won't take a credit card from just any country.
Well the only hurdle is: Google Checkout only accepts US/UK and so on Cards for the play store to actually buy the device.
For the rest: borderlinx + proxy. But since the important stuff, payment, does not work... I just hope they sell it retail soon.

also remember there is 25 in shipping and tax out the gate from google so expect to pay for that to, but for us users that isnt to much of an issue considering the 25 gift card from google.
We foreigners would need a virtual credit card issued in the UK for non UK residents. The nexus could be shipped to a borderlinx address.
Has anyone an idea where to get a virtual credit card issued in the UK?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Do they accept PayPal on the GooglePlay store?
No, they don't. CC only.
Then either we somehow get UK credit card, or wait. It'll probably sell out and I doubt I'll have it before the end of August.
Okay, so I successfully placed an order but it got canceled a few hours later ; here's what happened.
1. Used a service called Entropay to create a virtual global visa credit card.
2. Registered a Borderlinx account and recieved a "suite adress" in the UK from Borderlinx.
3. Used a free UK vpn called Bestukvpn, to access the play store and place the order.
The order got through, I received an Order Receipt and an E-mail from Google Wallet confirming the credit card was valid and they could charge and fulfill the order.
Fast forward about 3 hours. I get an E-mail telling me my order of the Nexus 7 got canceled due to "We were unable to verify the account information for your recent purchase with Google Wallet. As a result, your account has been temporarily suspended and your recent order has been cancelled".
What I have to do to fix this is to scan and send a few credentials. ID or drivers license and billing and shipping scans proving it's where I live and I own the credit card.
This is such a hassle that I now give up.
Engadget posted some information regarding availability in stores in the uk. It will probably be a lot easier to order via one of the stores to Borderlinx. Does anyone have any experience with any of the retailers in the post from Engadget? maybe eBuyer?
Hope this information was helpful.
hm i think carphone warehouse would work if they would take paypal and you have the proxy real adress from england

My guess is the whole world will get one soon enough. Asus would have channels in most countries plus no need for carrier deals etc. with no 3G functionality to deal with. It'll mostly just be about certifying it as non threatening/toxic to local authorities. I sure hope Asus sells them here in their home country licketty split....C'mon Johnny!!!

I guess Google won't make much of a profit by selling the device. I think their plan is to finance it with what they will sell in the play store which isn't possible in a lot of countries, so the country restrictions are understandable...
So back to how we get it anyway I just found out that you can already preorder the 16GB Version on ebuyer.com with an expected shipping date on July 27th for £199. The bad news is, that they won't ship it outside the UK, the good news is that they accept PayPal. Using Borderlinx to get the Tablet to Germany (in my case) it will add up to 268,78€ (247,64€ for the N7 and 21,14€ for shipping with borderlinx) which I don't think is too much more than we would pay if it was avaiable in our own country.

The 16GB version is available for pre-order on a Finnish web store (verkkokauppa) with 2-4 week delivery time. This is a company that has a web store as well as brick and mortar stores you can walk in to, so it looks like we get to enjoy jelly beans during the July if we are lucky. No word about the 8GB model.
And now the downside: The price has been listed as 449,90€. (Yes that is approx 565 USD including tax!) Although this company is known for posting a considerably higher price for the pre-order items before they can deliver, like 999€ for a phone that ended up being sold for 599€ etc. So no idea what the final price will be (until they answer my mail).
I myself am a bit on the edge with my buying decision. We don't get all the google play store goodies here in Finland. Also the device has no SD-card. I might get it after playing with it in the store though if it really impresses me.
It seems that you can now pre-order this phone SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles for a 3rd October delivery, which is sooner than what some are expecting.
I am not aloud to post links on this forum yet it would seem, so go to Unlocked-Mobiles dot co dot uk and then select the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the Model drop down box at the top of the page.
Seems exspensive, about 1000 USD after tax or 750 EUR.

Media Markt / Saturn in Germany - can be ordered now for 700 €. In stock on November 1st.
Still too expensive. I counted up to 650 at most.
Price will drop a bit till then. 650 still a lot (for not-iPleople )
I paid £630 for my Note 3 on release last year... 5 weeks later people were picking it up for £580 or so, price will drop it always does.. I'm toying with it.. Not a major Samsung lover these days though. So will be a tough decision.
I found some prognosis of the price searcher. It says Note 4 will drop significantly in first 3 months, like previous ones:

Yeah it will be 40% cheaper after Xmas.
After my N3 experience I am reluctant to spent that kind of money again on Samsung.
N4 is only worth £350-400 at most.

First shops are showing a price of 850 euros. Doubt that a lot of people will pay that price. Samsung is playing the game of Apple!
Should be around 600 euros to be a success. Note 4 does not bring enough plus compare to Note 3 and has lost USB 3 which does not make sense to me! That was of a big help mainly with huge SD Card it can support and huge video files you can capture...
I predict the price will drop faster this year thanks to the iphone 6 plus

This is all very conflicting. The UK launch is set for the 10th of October, I know that the Experience Stores often do a special opening the day before which ties in obviously with the 9th but this information along with pre-ordering isn't anywhere on their websites. at £599 it appears to be more expensive than many other price quotes too.

£629 same price as Note 3 at launch last year. If you want it cheaper wait 3 months.

I am talking about the OP quoting a £599 price. Where did you get your £629 price from? I realise waiting 3 months will be cheaper obviously! But Clove Technology for example, are quoting a £575 price Inc VAT which again is all conflicting.

£629 is the price you need to pay from the Samsung UK Experience stores when you go to preorder in store.

I also noticed that only the Samsung pre-order allows purchase of the gold/bronze version (the one I ordered). Other sites such as Clove and Amazon Germany only offer the black/grey and white options.
I still find it bizarre that the price of the Note drops everywhere but Canada after launch. The Note 3 has stayed at $750 since launch here. Good for early adopters at least.

Thanks. That makes it clearer. Though why Samsung can't offer better deals to pre-orders I don't know. I think it might be better to wait a few days and save a lot of money.
Good to see you by the way, it was all about the K Zoom I believe last time we spoke??

Yes the K Zoom was doing reall well. Back like all good things ......
So I went into my Best Buy Store today at around 2PM PST to preorder the new S6 Edge and wanted to share with you all my experience on how everything went down and some things that might dissuade you from going to Best Buy to preorder.
So when I asked what color I could get, the rep said only Black or White, no gold or green unfortunately. I asked if it's just this Best Buy but she said that it's for every Best Buy location. I said ok and decided to get the AT&T 32GB White S6 Edge. To preorder, I needed to put down a $50 deposit that comes in the form of a $50 Best Buy gift card. You get the gift card right there and when you come in to pay for the device when it's out, you can use the gift card towards the purchase of the phone or buy a case or something if you want.
As for the free wireless charger promotion that Best Buy is holding, I could only preorder it in black, no white or any other color.
Preordering the phone itself took around an hour by the way because of all the technical difficulties in their systems. The rep told me I was the 4th person to come in today to preorder so it's not that hot in my neighborhood but seeing as how the system wouldn't work for a while, I suspect that it's a really in demand device in a lot of other locations. I also couldn't get my preorder in the for the wireless charger due to the same technical difficulties, and so instead of waiting even longer, she decided to just take my number down and keep trying on her own time and call me back when it goes through.
I ordered online at best buy and got the Edge 64gb from AT&T on the next plan and got the black charger for free. The thing I don't understand is I only got charged $38.66?! I thought I was going to have to pay tax on the full retail price?! Can anyone shed some light on this for me.. I tend to miss things like this.
That's strange, you usually pay tax on the full retail price. Would it be possible to post a screenshot of the order confirmation without your personal info on it?

Hmm, weird.
Got a text from my buddy that Best Buy was in fact taking pre orders for Verizon today and not the 1st. So, I went in after work and it took a whole 10 minutes to get the 64gb Edge in black along with the black wireless charger pre ordered. Went really smooth, and the employee explained everything to me while doing it all. No hiccups in the system or anything like that.

Well what state do you live in?
I'm in Cali and had to pay $70 for the 32 gb edge model.
Missouri. I paid like $70 for my wife's note 4.
I too placed my order with BestBuy. Went with the black Edge version for Verizon. Oddly enough, my store here in Miami was having some system issues as well, and the experience took long, but not bad due to having great conversations with the employees. I did get the free charging pad as well, but it had to be done as a separate transaction from the phone, and that again took some time due to system error. The employee just had me walk around the store till the transaction was complete, and he would just come find me, which he did.
All in all it was not a bad experience, just took forever to complete. If you're in a rush, then yes avoid BB till the system error is fixed. It could have just been first day hiccups, but who knows? If you do decided to go with BB for the free charging pad, make sure you have some time to stick around just in case...
Ordered mine off of BestBuy.com.. Got the Edge 64GB on AT&T on Next 20, $915 Total Price, divided into $45.75 a month. 12 Installments, then S7 lol.
I am actually a BB Employee and I chose to do it online as I know our in store systems are garbage and I didn't want to take a chance.
We also had it on display and the phones ran SMOOTH. I really hope AT&T doesn't botch it with their useless Bloat! The Camera launches in half a second like they have claimed and I really do think Samsung got the design right on both.

That order confirmation could not be more vague lol. The only thing to say is to contact Best Buy but you probably already thought of that. Did you check your bank account by any chance to see if a deposit of some sort went out? I had to pay a $50 deposit for mine so it could be like $50 + $38(due later).
Yeah I did go to best buy last night and I showed them but they didn't know why either. They said I have a confirmation # so I'm good. Checked the bank account and nothing. I guess I will find out for sure when it comes in..

I paid $64.05
Went to best buy and got two on verizon. One edge and one regular. Only cost the 50 gift card for each and got the 2 wireless chargers pre ordered as well. Went pretty smooth for me. He said they where having issues with verizon though because they had to find a loophole since Verizon isnt officially doing it until the first. I wanted the gold but I got to play with a black and I like it so I am happy. They also said if I do edge I will only pay about 130 for the two phones when i pick them up and will get $28 off of each $40 line a month that basically covers the edge payment if I go with the 10gb shared family plan. Sounds like a good deal. Then i can edge up for the The sgs7 or the m10. Whichever is better. This will be my first sammy device since the m9 is falling short this year.
Anyone have any experience with BestBuy and ATT next program. I currently have a phone on the ATT next program, which if I pay $96.00 I can then trade in the phone on that program to get another on a next program. The question I have is am I able to keep my current phone even after preordering in store at BestBuy until the Galaxy S6 Edge is officially released and I can pickup. I don't have issue with waiting until release, but don't want to be without my current phone until release of S6. Hope someone can shed some light on it.

Yes you keep your phone until you pick up your new one and sign the new next contract. After you get your S6 tho I'm not sure how you get your old phone back to AT&T.. I pre-ordered mine thru BB online so when it's shipped to me I go into the store and sign the next agreement and pay the taxes on it and get it activated.
Does the wireless charger promotion only apply to devices being purchased through an upgrade? Because I don't want to use my upgrade for this one but the wireless charger would be nice. Also I wonder if they'll price match AT&T. because AT&T is selling the edge for 815 and not 850 like best buy is claiming.

Once you pick up the phone, Best Buy has "return kits" they give you. Should give you a box and prepaid shipping label so that you can return your phone to AT&T. This gives you a chance to get your stuff moved over to the new device and all that jazz. Pretty straightforward process, and when my dad upgraded this way, a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Any of the Best Buy preorders shipping?
I haven't seen anyone saying they have. I'm checking my email every day and hoping.

Hello all ..
Please post the store where you bought your zuk z1 . Make sure the store is legit

I see many Chinese Stores ..It would be good if we got other reliable stores
or if you already have it please share experience with this smartphone ?
( Performance -Battery - Camera - GPS - Wifi - etc ...)
Thanks ..
I don't have it yet, but i bought it officially from ZUK via Amazon.de. (sold bei ZUK, shipped by Amazon).
Bought mine via Amazon UK. Next day delivery. £260. £20 more expensive that if I bought it from China but of course it has Cyanogen OS and there is no long wait or possible import taxes

Mine was ordered on the night from Wednessday to Thursday. So basically ordered Thursday, got shipped today (Friday) and will be delivered by Monday.
Mine from tomtop ordered 19-10 got it on 23-10 no taxes.
Item made on 12-10 11 days later in my hand......
Speedy those Chinese
Where do you see when it was produced? Is it printed on the box?
I bought from Tomtop (France) and delivered in 3 working days to the UK. Paid £221.99 with no custom taxes/duties. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311460148602?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The phone has received many OTA updates and now is a lot more stable & has gone super speed. There is one tiny bug with the App Drawer. If scrolling realy fast sometimes it's stuck with the large letters A-Z and does not shrink back to regular size until you scroll again.
In the States you can get many decent smartphones at relatively low prices but in Europe prices tend to be a lot higher. This is probably one of the exceptions. I'm delighted to pay only £222 for such a great smartphone.

I ordered at zuk-store.com (because of the two years warranty and european service center)
It was a mistake. They hadn't the grey version in stock, but I bought it anyway (22nd of october) - the devices are announced to arrive at their store on the 30th of october, but no word got out if they have been distributed to the customers.
I should have bought them elsewhere
(I have to add, I'm really not patient when it comes to buying eletronic stuff... )
amazon.it
i bought mine on amazon..
for 299€ i received a gray z1 at home in two days
at the moment i am really highly satisfied.. first of all for the battery !!!
great phone.

Robpollard, I am beginning to think that I made a mistake too. I've ordered via zuk-store.com for the very same reason as you (warranty and european service centre). I ordered on the 26th but at that time, it showed that the stock will come on the 28th but then date changed to 30th next day.
They haven't replied to any of my messages as of yet about when will it get dispatched. Clearly you've been waiting longer than me, and what made matters worse for me is that fact that TomTop on eBay is happy to ship me the phone from its Madrid warehouse to my address in Estonia for €290 delivered.
I am hoping to hear from zuk-store tomorrow. But surely if the stock was to be replenished on Friday, 30th. They should have sent the delivered out the same day, or probably it will be tomorrow, Monday 2nd of November which is annoying because we would be waiting 3-5 days on top of it.
Could you please keep me posted with the progress of your order and I'll do vice versa?
Shall do. Let's hope they'll deliver soon ?

I noticed it this morning too. I am torn here now, where are you thinking ordering from? And where is it that you're getting it delivered?
This is the lowest price I've been able to find, TomTop is one of the official sellers but what happens to warranty related matters?
http:/_/goo.gl/CVUe7c (just fix the url by removing underscore).
p.s. Amazon UK has them for £229.
ZUK says that they will be updating the service centre details later. Does that reassure us that at least for any warranty related matters we won't have to ship the device back to HK or China Mainland given that's how most China based resellers would try to honour warranty?
But then again, if you buy it from ZUK-Store then if ZUK will have service centre in EU that it should mean that we should be able to get them serviced as long as they were purchased from an authorised reseller.
Or am I just being too pedantic, and I shouldn't have high hopes for a budget priced phone? And consider it a pretty much without warranty?
I was on the fence too, but decided to demand a refund (which they will grant, their chat-support works rather well). I think I'll wait one or two days and either re-order again or order it elsewhere. Too bad, I'd love to have it in my hands by now.

I can send a link to you unfortunately. The user "ahappydeal" has offered the mobile phone 300 € with price proposal. He immediately accepted my price proposal of 265 €. You can search times. If you do not find him meld again!
