I pre-ordered purple from Fortress for 5698 or whatever.
It comes with a dock and I think that's it.

As a valued PCCW customer, I'll get my pre-ordered white Xperia Z around 8 March. It will come with a blue-tooth stereo headset, free.

you didnt get headphones???
Today I went to PCCW and they said that the plan for Xperia Z was exactly the same as that of SGS3 LTE (prepaid amount, monthly fee, etc.) I was thrilled.
However I missed the first round of pre-order so I've to wait until mid-March to get the device if I pre-order it now.

No, you only get bluethooth headphone if you buy from service providers like CM and PCCW but I prefer charging dock.

But there is no 4G in China yet!
I'm a PCCW Mobile One customer, getting it through their special offer. Black or white was for delivery on 01 MAR 2013, I'm getting the purple, they're still confirming the delivery date for thatm shouldn't be more than a week or 2 after I assume. Don't know exactly what's in the package re: extras, assume it's the standard pack with the headphones?
Hey guys, I know this is off topic but I am due in HK in May for 3 weeks and I was wondering what's the best payg simcard to get if I wanted internet access in HK.
Thanks in advance

I too asked the same question in another thread but got no reply...
When I ordered my Nexus One from the States I remember having to pay a pretty high customs tax or something...
Maybe I should just wait surely it's going to come to Canada at some point...? $800 max everything included and I'd consider it... I'm not sure if more than that is worth it... Surely the price will go down...? But I really want it now!

thanks for your reply, im also considering buying from handtec, since im in alberta i prolly wont be paying hst, the max they can give me is 5% gst i believe ? including the brokerage of course.. kinda blows canadians get nailed up the ass on duty, was reading the american thread and they didnt even get any duty..wtf.
Hi there,
I take delivery on Monday and I will reply.
I also got from HandTec. My total CAD for phone and shipping came to $776. I am expecting some heavy duties. I can understand the Gov. charging huge duties on items available in Canada for purchase through a Canadian retailer, but the Note isn't.
My budget was 1k, so I think we HandTec things are going to work out just fine.

Honestly, I don't get it. They are a Bell retailer. Do they know the phone will not work on their frequencies?? Something fishy going on.
the fishy thing about this store is they are bell and they don't have iphone 4s!!! the only good thing about this store is you don't paid tax if you paid cash
My Note arrived Nov 1 (delivery date) from Negri Electronics, cost was $823.71 after a $35 discount with overnight Fedex from Hong Kong, customs clearance took one day, taxes were around $35 paid to Fedex, fired right up with my Rogers sim, apn was correct, 3G/HSDPA connection, speedtest are around 4-5Mbps down 1-2.5 up here in downtown Vancouver, on wireless the speeds are similar to a tablet 30-35Mbps down, 5 up on my home network.

yes, to my door. i paid cad200 to fedex right away for two notes.
I ordered mine through Basatne Electronics, who are based in Mississauga. I called them up several times and managed to find out that they have two warehouses - one in Mississauga and one in Hong Kong. From the feel of the conversation, the Galaxy Notes they have are almost definately located in Hong Kong. However, the employee reassured me that even if it was shipped to me from Hong Kong that I would not pay duty or whatever since I paid sales tax.
Their price is pretty reasonable, at least compared to ebay, and they're based in Canada (and close to me) so if I end up having a really big problem with the phone or their service I can just drive down and talk to them in person.
My order came out to $1,010.22 total including tax and the free Fedex Express Priority shipping. Should arrive on Tuesday.
I would post a link to their website but new users aren't allowed to post a link so... yeah. Google it I guess.
To find the Galaxy Note just search it in the search box on their site.
MobileDNA are not that fishy. They take phones that are compatible with Bell (hence Rogers, TELUS, etc) and sell them straight up AND/OR contract. They are selling the note at $149 this weekend for 3yr activation with Bell. I activated with them when I got the white SG2 before Bell got it.

Did you have to pay FedEx at the door with credit card or do you pay online later?
Taxes and Duty
Purchased from Handtec, and it's supposed to arrive on Monday morning. Fedex called me to say that my taxes, duty, etc. will come to $105.54, and they won't leave the phone unless I pay them on delivery.
Glad to hear you can just drop in a Rogers sim card and you're good to go!

Hello, I order the Xperia Z1 from handtec and it came with a free Sony SmartWatch2. Fedex is putting my shipment on a clearance hold and wants me to fill out a watch breakout work sheet. I need help on the value breakdown of the movement, case, band, battery, and jewels. Thanks

I told FedEx that the SmartWatch2 came free with my Z1, but, they said that all incoming items must have a price on them. So in lost at what to put down for the price of the movement, case, band, battery, and jewels even though the watch was free.

Hi i had the same exact issue im from the US. Handtec apparently didn't fill out the customs FCC form correctly and fedex thinks it is a watch when its actually only the phone in the package. The customs guy at fedex emailed a new copy of the form and also the copy that handtec filled out and i had to just redo it. You might want to get in touch with them again and let them know its only a phone and the smartwatch is shipping separately.

I'm thinking of ordering from handtec but I'm hoping they start filling out the correct forms. It would drive me crazy if my package is stuck somewhere due to customs.
Is handtec pretty reliable? Ive never heard or ordered from them before.
Thanks!

I hope by the time I order the Z1 from them next week that I don't encounter the same issues as the Op.
Good luck, OP!
even if it was in the box - it's not a watch as such - it's an accessory extention of your phone and has cpu BT and OS no watch movement or anything like it, they are getting confused by the name and the fact you wear it on your wrist - it might tell the time but it is an electronic gadget not a watch
I'm ordering today from Handtec. Any news if Handtec is helping resolve this issue? Maybe I can ask them not to put any reference to a smartwatch since there's no smartwatch in the package?
---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------
I just talked to Handtec Customer Support and they said they were aware of the issue and it is not ractified with Fedex. So we shouldn't have anymore problems. On that note, I just ordered my Z1! Wooot!

Problem Solved
Thanks to everybody for the support. Problem with shipment resolved.
I recently ordered a the Z1 from this site and it never actually got shipped. They don't reply to their contact us form which now doesn't work at all and I had to wrestle PayPal to re-open my ticket to get my money back. Order from somewhere reputable, I have been talking to a user on XDA who's friend sells imported chinese phones.
Link to the user's friend Turned out to be most expensive due to English to Polish translation error.
These are for one, cheaperr. Two are reputable and three, no turnaround waiting for overseas shipping outside Europe.
I bought mine from AliExpress in the end.

may I add gearbest to the offenders of sales? I have ordered the zuk z1 with a promotional code from android headlines, paid through paypal. First they said that I'm in rural part of Australia (I live in the second biggest city in WA) and I have to pay extra if I wanted to use DHL. Ok , I paid , a day after they came back and said (I quote): "I'm so sorry that item Lenovo ZUK Z1 International Edition Android 5.1 5.5 inch 4G Phablet is stop production." And they asked me to choose something else..... Needless to say they are still selling the Zuk but I think they just do not want to give me the discount? Anyway, it seems to me that they are willing to pay my money back but I lost trust in that shop big time.....

I emailed the London shop and they responded just now saying "The Mi 9 UK launch date is not yet announced to us by the UK head office.".
I'm on UK Three network and I believe the Mi 9 that can be pre ordered from Giztop will work on my 3G and 4G networks, but km holding off as I'd prefer a UK power plug.
I believe around 28th Feb we may be able to pre order online but not 100% sure....

I've heard the UK release date is at the end of March.
Same. I've seen a store saying 25th, but I was just reading the review from TrustedReviews:
It’s going to be out slightly later than that in the UK, though, with an expected release in late March 2019 over here. That means we don’t yet have confirmed UK pricing.
https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/xiaomi-mi-9
Hmm, amusingly Amazon Italia will ship to my address... I'd be buying the charger pack anyway, wonder if that comes with UK plug?
25th March not cheap either

I'm UK here and pre ordered it for roughly £384 delivered from Italy and will be dispatched tomorrow. I was looking for an official xiaomi plug and wireless charger, but settled for these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01MXXOQTE
Fast charging, multi USB and interchangeable UK/EU plug for when I go on holidays
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07KG5HDFX
I know this isn't a super fast charging one, but I honestly don't care as this will be my bedside table one for night time and I'd much prefer having a stand

Was thinking of doing something similar,but the fast wireless charge only works with Xaoimi charger. Will wait and see,a week or so if it is released here in Ireland.
.Would be interested to see how you get on with them chargers
Yeah, Amazon Italia knows my UK address and will deliver. So I'm very close to doing this!
Just want the official UK plug. I plan to mainly wirelessly charge so I know I'd need that kit anyway

Doooo iiiiiiitttttt! Just think you can save £100 plus have the phone around Monday/Tuesday perhaps! Just for the sake of a plug.
I know I won't have the full fast wireless charge but I'd only ever use that at night when goifm to sleep, as a charging stand, so I don't need it to be fast
As for the Anker fast charging plug, I'm sure this will suffice too!
Its all about being a little more patient. We are lucky to see that Amazon ES and Amazon IT have the Xiaomi Mi 9 in 64gb SKUs
Waiting for 128gb to hit the shelfs after the 28th Febuary but will wait for UK Release

Will do. Phone should arrive hopefully by Monday, as I'm going on holiday on Tues so least I'll have a new toy to play with when back home if not. But would be nice to test that camera out on holiday!
I'm probably gonna import it but want the 128gb version!
I'll be STUNNED if I can't get fast charging sorted. Keep us updated anyway CD993, have fun on your travels!

I was very tempted to wait to, but figured I'll be happy enough with the 64gb
Thanks!

Yeah I'm just awaiting my Amazon Italy 64GB to be cancelled (they haven't dispatched, only 'preparing for dispatch') so for extra £30 I can get this 128GB

Yeah, I'd do that too if I were you - double the storage for thirty more squid? No brainer!
Ahhhh, I've got a smile on my face, new phone sorted. Next business day, mine has been quoted as Monday.
Happy days!

Wait wow my maths then.....!
It was £383 or something so not a £30 difference lol that would be more like £67!
Annnnd Amazon Italy saying over live chat dispatch process has gone too far and can't cancel!
Ah oh well, still will be happy I guess
Ive seen a lot of unboxing videos and most were international models that all came with a case, so I just want to know if the USA model will come with a case included?
From what I've heard just international has case included ,

Can someone confirm that the international/Europe s10 will have a case in the box. Have seen it as well in some unboxing vids. But have not found any confirmation on the retail box shipping since yesterday.
Will get mine hopefully next week. Eager to know if i have to spend more time searching for a case like crazy to have my investment safe at least in the beginning.
Haven't dropped a phone in a long time but I know I will first day with a new phone especially without a case.

I did not get a case with mine. You should check the retailers page about what is included in the box. At least here in Finland they specify what is included in the box and a case is not on the list.
I just got s10+ in Egypt and it had a case in the box
Clear hard plastic case and installed screen protector

Thx for the info. I ordered from Amazon in germany, living in austria. Haven't seen any info of a case on the product website. At least I will not have to wait that long to see.
But as I don't see any info of any case in the box in Europe I guess it's not included.

Well. Maybe a glimmer of hope [emoji28]

In India we get a pre applied screen protector and a clear hard plastic case.
In Germany - no case in box. Also the buds didn't come with the package. Presuming they might later on.

Did you order on Amazon?
For the buds. I read have to register in some samsung app. Only available for preorderd devices. Then you get the buds sent later on.

US model: OTG adapter, AKG, charger, wall plug, and paperwork. Screen protector is pre installed.
Thx for the answers guys. Got the shipping notification today. Changes are pretty high I get it tomorrow. Will report back then as well.

I ordered on the German Samsung website, so their own online shop. The order in the online shop says it's in preparation but I already received the phone on 6th of March, so before the launch. The buds are mentioned on the order but no info about status.
I've got my phone within a contract with Vodafone Germany.
The ear buds need to be ordered in the Samsung Members app, there you have to register your device including a scan / copy of the invoice.
In my box there wasn't a case and I really don't know why manufacturers are packing different boxes for each country. It's not Samsung only, Huawei does the same and it's kinda annoying that they do this.
I'm often on international English speaking tech sites where they post stuff like "there's a case in the box" or "the S10 will have the SD855" and when it comes to the release here in Germany all hopes and expectations are getting blown away.
I'm glad that Samsung put a screen protector on the phone even for Germany.
Latin America version, no case but instead was bundled with a 128 GB SD card.

I noticed that bundle on some of the International phones selling on Ebay.
S10 from Philippines, comes with a free case
So just got it few hours ago. Surprisingly the dual sim variant. But that's OK
But no case in the box. Ordered from amazon.de sent to Austria.
Sadly almost none of the good cases sold on Amazon will ship to Austria.
Does anyone know any good site to buy cases?
