Ok in that case then any european country will have them ie UK i know definitely has Diamonds now with the newest rom unless you want to try ebay but im sure most of the Diamonds on there are the grey imports ie older roms with plenty of problems.

thank you, Mr. Spawn
Its probably cheaper for you to buy one from HK. You can upgrade the rom anyway.
Look on ebay, or just google!

Hi guys
I'd like to buy the new Optimus 2X, I've see this page web:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375173&pf_rd_i=301128
But I don't speak German...then I can't understand if I can buy It.
Can I buy O2x in that page web or would you say me other page web??
Thanks and I'm sorry because my English isn't very good.

can someone buy it from korea ? if so, where and how.
i need an english import site, i dont care about the price.
also, will the gsm/3g works ?
I have pre-ordered from Expansys which has very good consumer policies ... they list the Optimus 2X for most countries and in local currency. Check it out for your country. I have ordered mine from the Singapore Expansys site for shipment to Vietnam.

I don't know if it will work on european networks, but the korean version looks different from the europe version so have a look at it before ordering.
Play.com are doing it with a slight discount

Hi,
I'm actually in `korea rightnow, have checked out some stores but if I understand correctly they only sell this phone with a SK contract.
Even the LG store couldn't sell it.
Another store owner told me they were recalled though....

Hi guys!
I'm planning to buy a HTC one in the near future, but I have some questions about bying it.
- Should I import a device to cut the price?
In Belgium, the phone costs 699 euros (= 917 dollar), but in America the phone costs 699 dollar (= 533 euros).
--> http://catalogue.proximus.be/PUB/gs...&contentpath=18a6cf96bd1acba60000013d42e53d96
--> http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Facto...e=UTF8&qid=1370519371&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one
- What issues could I face if I bought an HTC one from Amazon?
It's more than 150 euros cheaper for the phone (international version).
And normally, this would work in Belgium, right?
So guys, let me hear your opinions.
Importing, yes or no, and why?
Thanks!
Matt
No LTE, warranty will cost you (maybe 30euros per issue,) and only be 1 year not 2, import duty...
Why don't I have LTE?
If I insert a SIM from a local provider, it should work.
Or not?
Depends on what frequencies your local telcos use for LTE.
From this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe I see Belgium uses the 1800MHz bands so the international one supports it. However, a UK set supports the 800MHz as well, and 2100MHz is supported by both EU and International units.

So the only thing is warranty and maybe some import duty.
I think I can live with that.
For the American peeps:
Is there another online store I could buy an international version from?
Maybe cheaper then the Amazon one?
If you're picking up the Euro model, then warranty should be fine...

You mean the interntional version?
Have you checked if there are any fees in belgium?
In Germany, we have to pay 19% import sales tax (which is equal to our VAT) plus customs fees.
For me that would make at least 640 euros for that device.
The german amazon website shows both, white and black, for 599€

This could be cheaper for you

So you mean I would have to pay taxes and fees when importing from America.
But when i'm importing from Germany, no taxes (but some fees) have to be paid.
Interesting...
I'd be surprised if they do any warranty work. This is from experience. I bought a galaxy nexus my first, from Singapore. After a week it stopped connecting to mobile data. No one would touch it. Samsung here or there. And too boot the seller offered a warranty that they would honor. It cost me an extra $126 too ship it back only to have them give me the run around for 4 months. Then one day it magically appeared still broken. It is the most expensive battery charger I have ever owned .

Well, I can't be sure what is meant by "international". If it's from Europe, you'll get warranty in Europe.

Exactly. I assume, the european countries handle non-EU imports similar, so there will be additional taxes and fees buying outside the EU.
Within the european union (no matter if you buy in Britain, Sweden, Germany or Poland) there will be no additional taxes, and there shouldn't be any fees for that, just like you buy your device in Belgium.
And warranty issues will be easier to handle. When I remember right, I had to send my HD2 for display repair to a company based in the Netherlands.
Buying in the EU has some big advantages

So I should go for the german one, because of the advantages?
Hi, I've done it a lot. Just few advices:
1/ pay attention to tax. As soon as it comes from outside EU, you can pay taxes.
But it's not only TVA (sorry, I'm FR) but you have to add additional taxes (custom tax, import tax...). For FR is close to 25-30% of purchase price (own experience ...).
2/ all the taxes are not based on the invoice or the price you declare. It's based on a "Custom" price fixed for your country.
3/ depending on the carrier, you have more or less chances to pay the taxes.
DHL, UPS... 100% chances to pay. It's a service they charge!
From US I was using USPS (US postal services), most of the time you don't pay. It's as fast (letters do not take boat anymore).
4/ Warranty is working by region. The serial nb of the phone gives the country of sales.
You buy in US => warranty is in US. So you can send it back, take a plane. All this is expensive.
Take into account that you can't complain so much, the seller knows it.
5/ The deal is made under seller's country's laws. And you don't know them... US can be ok, asia is different.
If you don't speak the local language, complain is also very difficult.
6/ You can have surpises with the product... the Chinese HTC One has no google apps... depending of the country you import from you will lose LTE (some care) but also 3G (a lot care). For ex, in china we have 3 providers, only one is EU compatible. For US it's the same, you may lose 4G and 3G.
Of course, taking into account all of this, if the price difference is big enough, go import.
For such a phone, just losing the warranty we have in EU worth some bucks/euros...
I'm in asia now... we have very good warranty and laws in EU!
I advise you to search internet for a good price in EU. If you still want to import, I can send you one from China... with a SD slot
I think for small amounts (< few thousands), if it's not 30-50% cheaper, do not import. Or, you have to buy bellow taxe exemption price (depend of each country, few hundred euros).
Mabuhay!
This will serve as a support and discussion thread for us Filipinos.
But first, we all know how difficult it is to get a OnePlus 3 directly from OnePlus- what, with the shipping, customs, and all. So hopefully others will share how they got theirs in the Phils.
God bless!

Thanks, Kababayan! I'm A****w. I'm a OnePlus 3 Enthusiast, planning to have soon since its really difficulty to have the unit in our country. I owned and used different smartphone brands, and now planning to try OnePlus. I hope It won't disappoint me once I decided to get it. About the phone, because some resellers is selling the China Variant with the flashed O2 OS, does the ROM can get OTA?
Hello Kabayan's!
Planning to get one also. Maybe next month. :fingers-crossed:
OH,dear.You can buy it from oneplus official site directly or other retail online shop.
But I think oneplus official site cheaper than other shop
This was what I was going to do before I bought a Nexus 6P.
Buy directly from the Oneplus website. They now accept all major credit cards wherever it was issued. With an option for a separate billing and shipping address, the Philippines is now listed under Country. I was planning to send it to JAC Plus, they are my private forwarder of choice. I've used them before to ship my Moto X, no issues and was charged for Php 800+ to ship the phone to the Philippines.
I checked their website and philippines is not on the list.
You can buy it from widget city philippines, but sadly they don't have accessories yet for it
@reyscott if you don't mind me pinging you, if you are considering an OP3 you should check this out
@saywhatt pls tell me if your getting the 3.. good thing we are just in the nearest neighborhood. wohoo.

You all misunderstood me. It does not ship directly here yes. I did not say otherwise. I said that the Philippines is available under Country in Billing information if you choose to pay by card. You couldn't do that before because their only payment option was Paypal US which requires a US issued card. Now that credit cards are accepted you can separate your shipping and billing info to get around US only items. As long as your credit card is internationally accepted, you won't have any issues.
And I did say I was going to use JAC Plus, yes? Whatever reason would I use them other than to ship the item to me here?
Let's try again -
1. Order from the website directly using a US address for Shipping.
2. Choose to pay by card.
3. Un-tick the option that says billing is same with shipping. Input your real address.
4. Place order, you will be redirected to the payment portal site. Input your card info and pay.
I prefer or recommend to get the China variant since all bands is available for Philippines telco and 4G LTE network.
Anyone could help me how to buy from China OnePlus and ship to Philippines?

Will the new Xperia be released in Australia? I hope it is.
If it doesn't get locally released in Australia what is the best way of obtaining one?
As far as a know, it won't be realeased oficially on Australia, also in other regions that they stopped sales. Here in Paraguay, South America, we have "Couriers" that pick up our packages buyed from USA, and delivery to us, that how we can buy things from USA almost directly, I don't know if Australia have those services.

Yes Australia does have those services but its always better to buy local. Warranty and repairs etc for a phone $1000 or more dollars. Its a risk to buy one online from overseas

Well Sony clearly hasn't done enough if Samsung is more appealing. I don't blame people as they go with Samsung for a reason. Well look at Huawei they were growing at such a rate that the US had to stop Google support. I don't see why Sony can't
