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 for the info ..but ...
I was going to cancel the order regarding the "in stock" date keep being pushed back ...etc
just got an email from "mobileplanet" and mine is shipped (sept/06/07) ... with tracking number !! ETA Sept/11/07 ... nice date.. eh ??
oh well, I lost $12 ... the price to pay for wanting the latest/greatest.
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.

That looks kinda shady! I would rather pay $800 and get it from somewhere else.

Where can I buy a kaiser for cheap?

I've heard lots of people here talking about buying their kaisers for $200, EVEN $99!! Where on Earth do you find such a good deal? I have been in the market for weeks on Ebay and can only find ones for $500+. Does anyone have some advice for me on where I can pick one up for at most $400? Anyone selling or know of somebody selling theirs? I don't care if it isn't unlocked or still has the AT&T ROM... I can manage that. Anyways, I could really use some insight from you people. Any info would help. Thanks!

Actually I would be interested to know where you can get a Kaiser for such low prices. Preferably in Europe/UK though. Any suggestions??

well am selling mine for £200 (about $400) it has marks on it hence the low price. pm me if you want more info

I didn't know if there was already a thread for a topic like this. Looks like others are in the same boat as me.

i tried to put a tread on about selling my kaiser before but no one was interested then. so hopefuly i will sell it now

ebay
It's where i got mine from... £300 in november

Do you have ATT service in your area? if so, then you should be able to buy it too. I only said US only because I wasn't sure if the deal would apply to other countries as well. Since it does ask for a zip code to verify availablity I would assume it would work in canada as well. Try it, see if it accepts your zip.

send a PM to me too, i want where can i buy it to

Steal it at HTC manufacture !!! just kidding

AT&T is only for US residents
*sigh*
I guess I'll keep searching ebay.

ill put mine up on the chopping block for $400... its in great condition...
mines got the ab-fab wifi router working on it...

Newegg has a little bit of a better deal. Comes out to $129 after all rebates. You can get a free bluetooth headset too during the checkout although you do have to pay $5 shipping.

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!

Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.

I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.

I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.

Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

From my kick-ass note

Paid $699 yesterday from Newegg.
I sure hope my ATT plan doesn't have issues like everyone else is reporting (forcing a tablet plan, forcing tiered data, etc).

Hello! Link please

I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)

(this phone got no problem with screen!)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7...QL30/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324089027&sr=8-4

what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...

Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

I got mine from ATGSM and was happy with the delivery expediency

$25 dollar chromecasts!!!

Amazon has a deal for Amazon Student members..... ChromeCast for $29.99 and add promo code 7CGHXJ2C comes to 24.98 and there's FREE shipping. Not sure about the ROOTABILLITY but thought I'd throw this up for us who may want to buy a few. PS buy a couple and check them out if you cannot root them, box them up and give them for presents :good:
FORUM MODERATORS FEEL FREE TO DELETE IN ONE WEEK (ONCE DEAL IS OVER)

I'm pretty sure all of the rootable ones are gone. Very rarely will you find one on the back of a rack in a box store. I'd say these online ones will all have newer firmware on them.
Although seriously, mine is rooted and have flashed it... but I don't notice a difference. It doesn't really add functionality for me. Still a great gift for someone who travels.

I have had good luck goign to the Best Buy Express stores for rootable Chromecasts. I just got 4 beginning with 3912 from one here in Oregon (literally 2 hours ago!)

I am not a student, but I still bought it at that price at Best Buy.. (on eBay, for store pickup).:good:

Any info on when Best Buy will have this in store?

I am wondering if anyone knows when local Best Buy stores will sell this? I have seen a lot of problems on here so I am waiting for it to be available in store I think...

I am not sure when or if they will, but it cost them a sale. I would have paid a little extra to buy it locally. However, I ended up paying about $450.00 for it online and that included a two year warranty that covered drops, spills, etc! From what I have read so far, most of the issues seem to be with the dock. I did not get that anyway. I was already paying the limit of what I would pay for a tablet, and I think $150.00 is too much for a plastic dock, especially if it has quality issues.

Yeah I want to get it locally too but will probably buy off Amazon when its no longer under review and back for sale from Amazon again.

Yeah. Its not coming from amazon which is why its more money.

I was also waiting for this to be at Best Buy to get in stores, but they might not have it physically available... But you can order it in stores and it'll come in a few days for the price its listed for on their site or order it online and have it delivered to your local best buy. This could be easier in case of returns... I did this a last month with a 3rd party DLSR lens that was listed on their site on sale and was not available in stores and it came in 5days after I placed the order and paid for it in the store.
Also, just checked and Amazon has both the tablet and dock shipping directly from them.

Has best buy ever had the 16 gb version online? I've only ever seen the 32. Hoping to buy it there because I have some credit.
Edit: never mind, there is no 16 gb. Thinking of something else.

I was in my local Best Buy store recently, and asked an employee if they knew if when they were getting the TF701 in stores. The employee told me that more than likely, it would always be an item that is only available online. Of course this employee may very well be wrong, but they did seem to be very familiar with the TF701, whereas many other Best Buy employees seem to have never even heard of it before. Either way, it has definitely been available long enough to be in stores by now! This leads me to believe that the employee I questioned was correct. If it never makes it to store shelves for hands-on experiences, that's bad news for the TF701...
