[Q] UK: 3G Tab for less than £299?

So I knew I should've got one when carphone warehouse had them for £250, but now the cheapest one I can find off contract is £299 from o2 (i'm with o2 anyway on sim only so that doesn't matter/can unlock anyway) are there any cheaper offers out there that anyone's found?
Thanks

Galaxy S3 4G in the UK.

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

Normal Price for XT890

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.

Hellbent on Xperia Z1. Work on tmobileusa HSPA+42? Where to buy? Bootloader locked?

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.

Just like Gwuhua, they are unlocked. Buying from these resellers are unlocked. Preorder from clove or handtec, I read that they are on backorder, but you will still receive your phone/watch

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.

[Q] Help: Buying Note 3 N9005 from AT&T in NY

Hello,
I am from Istanbul, Turkey. As you know, Samsung released its Exynos version Note 3 in Turkish market. Note 3 with Exynos Octa processor costs approx. $1000 here in Turkey. That's why, I want to place an order from a friend who is currently in New York.
He said the cheapest Note 3 with Snapdragon processor costs $725 in AT&T Manhattan store. But the guys in that store said to him that the phone cannot be used in Turkey. And they said that he can only buy the "working versions" of Note 3 from Best Buy, Amazon or eBay.
I just want to know that, if he buys that N9005 (Snap.800) model for me, am I going to be able to use that phone in Turkey with XDA's unlock tools? I really need your help because I just have 3 days left to decide and place the order.
Many thanks..
Alper

I was told by an att rep when I bought mine that att will sim unlock any of their phones. Given it is paid for/not stolen/etc. I would call att customer service and get some solid answers

Besides "Sim Lock", I heard there is also something called "Regional Lock". Are these two different things or not? Thank you for your reply.

any other idea or suggestion?

Different:
"Samsung introduced a new regional lock on Galaxy Note 3 units shipped in Europe and the Americas, mandating users activate it with a SIM in the region it is sold in before it can be used anywhere else."
