Xpansys selling O2X for £270

http://m.expansys.com/mp.aspx?i=207496
If you're on the fence about getting one, this might sway you.

wow they shot down in price, i paid nearly £400 for mine when it first came out, if phone companies kept prices low like this on initial release I think they would have more sales.

Got mine off ebay brand new for £205

TBH, I wanna wait until it drops down a bit more. Baring in mind that this was £315 on Expansys just one month ago, the price has been sliced more and more every week. This is a heavily underrated phone overshadowed by SGS2 and Sensation and I expect it to crash down to the sub £200 barrier.
The question though is: When?

I don't think it will any time soon. Next year maybe?

I am afraid even at that price with no 2.3 on-board and no sign of an upgrade any time soon then it's still a no go from me.

I grabbed one off Expansys yesterday - can't wait to slap on a CM7 nightly when it arrives

XD guys wait for that MIUI phone, it is so cool and preorder will be only 310$ (1999Y - chinese money, I don't have Yen sign xD). But only China for now, I guess...

[Q] Should I sell my Pre-order on eBay? ...... J/K

Just for the fun of it I checked out eBay to see what people are asking for the Nexus 6. And I must say I am honestly shocked. The phone is selling for higher overhead than the iPhone 6 Plus was.
Most auctions on eBay are already eclipsing $800 with some as high as $1000 for the 32 GB mode, and these are the ones with the active bidding. I have to admit, for a brief moment, I thought to myself "Hey I could make a quick $300 and then just wait until they are in stock again. Than I realized that even though it would be fiscally advantageous, I just cannot bring myself to give up on the opportunity of owning a brand new Nexus device. I would miss out on playing with the new features and finally having front facing speakers, something I have wanted for what seems like ages now. Not only that but I feel that in doing so I would be taking advantage of all those that were not as lucky as me.
I am just surprised at how much this phone is going for. If you got a pre-order, would you give up the opportunity to use the device for $300+?

No. I need a phone

Well to be honest, if I find out before I receive my pre-order that it doesn't work on Verizon for some reason, I'll probably sell it on Ebay.
Sent from my Cyanogenified S4.

I saw one listing go up to $2000. It's crazy.

I'm pretty sure that was shill bidding. Others had a buy it now price at $800 for the same thing and that listing was still being bid up with 2 days to go.

tab s2 vs tab s3

Bought the S2 earlier this year and subsequently lost it an an airport so need a new one. Was going to replace it with the same after getting the insurance money but I have now discovered that the seller I got the S2 from is selling the S3 for about 50 quid more. Is it worth the upgrade? Don't think I will have a use of the pen.

Did you see this thread?

Even though the S3 has many teething troubles, for only £50 more, I'd take the punt. When Samsung sort the problems out, you will be paying a lot more than £50 a few years down the line if you want to upgrade.
Maybe find out what the issues are and ask yourself if any are deal breakers? :angel:

Time to get yourself to the S3 thread then Eggstones. :highfive:
If you do take the plunge, why not come back here and let us know how you are getting on

Will do. There seems to be a weird magnet issue going on that I don't fully understand.

Go for the S3 as you still have a future software upgrade path. The S2 will likely have come to its final upgrade

Agreed ashyx. :highfive:
One slight chink of light is the fact that the 2016 S2 8" version is still the most recent 8" flagship Samsung device. Maybe it will get its third OS update?

Don't you think 50 quid more is too good to be true?
S3 is a whopping 599.00 and if you shop around maybe you can get it for 540.00 at a pinch. S2 easily get it for 300.00 so if I was offered the S3 for 350.00 I'd be asking some questions .... u less of course you are talking second hand ... but even then.

For me, the S3 is overpriced for what it is. I someone like Huawei got hold of a Samsung OLED panel, it could really upset the market and drive down the price of the S3.

Samsung are really taking the 'p' these days, there is no limit to what they think they can charge. The Note 8 had me absolutely gobsmacked at nearly £900. What's next a £1500 phone?
Yeah £600 for a tablet is pretty high and given the features I think it's OTT frankly but if people pay Samsung will continue to dip into your wallet. Embedded batteries makes the £600 or £860 Note 8 still a 2 year deal as batteries don't last and I hate the fact that they did that for the phones in particular - I value my note 4 with spare batteries which I can swap in when needed and there are so many times when not having one would have been a major inconvenience.
I'll look for other brands - it's always best to go with the guys who have to try harder to get your business. When they get to Samsung status it's "take it or leave it" attitude but thats' to be seen everywhere sadly.

Agree with everything you say Louis. :highfive:
I bought the Mrs a Huawei mediapad M3 open box for only £142 in the USA a few weeks ago so I will get to see it in person in a few weeks time. With a high end Kirin SoC, 4GB ram things like a brilliant FP scanner and even a notification LED, it could give my S2 a run for its money. The icing on the cake would be an OLED screen but it seems Samsung are not selling these to others at tablet size.

Let's hope it turns out to be good. I think I need to go look at these offerings and see if the screens are a deal breaker or not. I got my tab second hand and because the screen was a good contender for the ipad retina. And I do appreciate it since the tab is my bedtime movie theatre
I'm sure the other guys will catch up .. Hopefully sooner or later, but if I have to stick with Kim Sami I guess I will go the ebay route and hope to find batteries as I did with the tab s.

SPen on Backorder?

I am new to the Note 9. Up until this week, I had a Note 8 that I was happy with. However, my Note 8 had burn in on the screen, and since Verizon had no Note 8 devices in stock the gave me a Note 9. I love the 9 even better than the 8!
The only downside is that the phone came by itself: no charger, no headphones, and more importantly no SPen! I tried Verizon and Samsung directly, but neither has any of the ocean blue pens in stock. Has anyone had any luck with the ones from Amazon? With all the fakes out there, it is so hard to determine what is a genuine spen. I am thinking of taking a chance on one until they are back in stock. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Samsung US has' em ready to ship for $14.99:

I tried to order one yesterday and the website didn't give me any options to buy online, it directed me to a Verizon store. I ordered from B&H and was gonna wait for it. Since the post above said they are available direct now with no wait, I canceled my B&H order and bought one from samsung.

Wait, Verizon gave you a Note 9 with no box? No charger and no S-Pen? How is that possible? Did they just find one outside of a box and hand it over, or something? Even a refurb would have a charger but to not come with an S-Pen. That sounds pretty shady.

That is what I thought as well. However, after speaking with the customer service team they said it was the same as a warranty replacement. Since they replaced my note 8, they said the Note 9 was not supposed to come with any accessories (charger, earbuds, and spen). I have been trying to argue with them since Tuesday to get it made right.

What a BS answer from them. The S-Pen is a vital part of the Note device. It's built into the damn phone. Wow... Yet another example of what a ****e service provider Verizon is. Even when I was with Sprint they never pulled that crap with me, and T-Mobile? Forget about it, they're the best with this kind of thing. I hope you can find a way to leave them for someone better.

Lmao! Trust me, as a non-millenial it pained me to even ask for the pen!
On a good note, I received the pen yesterday and this phone is amazing with it! I have had the Note series since the 3 and I always felt like subsequent units made little to no improvements over their predecessors, until now. I can certainly feel the difference in this phone and the pen is icing on the cake!

Glad you were able to take delivery w/o having to wait too long & at a relatively inexpensive cost. :good:
As for the sentiments surrounding the S-Pen,it shouldn't have pained you a bit to ask for it.
It's not as if the S-Pen is a universal accessory akin to a cord/charger adapter/earbuds/etc......... it's the defining element of what the Note series is.
Excluding it also leaves the phone at greater risk to foreign material/water intrusion.
VZW pulled a D*** move by not including it w/your warranty exchange.

I'm not sure it's a **** move. They probably have certain units set aside for warranty replacement. Typically you'd be exchanging one Note 9 for another and would've kept all your accessories, including the S-Pen. I agree it's a necessary accessory, but the OP could have technically kept his Note 8 S-Pen and used it until the new S-Pen came in. It fits in the slot and works, just not the new Bluetooth features.
Not saying it didn't SUCK to have to go buy an S-Pen and wait, I just don't think Verizon was like, "Hey, let's screw this guy over and keep his S-Pen *maniacal laugh*"

Definitely a win!! When the S-Pen went on sale for $15 I snagged one just as a backup in case I lose/break mine. I actually had enough Samsung rewards points from using Samsung Pay that it only cost me $0.93 after tax and free shipping. And they still sent it via 2-day priority mail.

I agree with everything you said! I was hopeful I would get one new in the box, but I figured I would get the warranty replacement.

Almond variant global waiting room

Just thought I'd create a thread for those of us that ordered the Almond color. Ordered mine the day it dropped on the site and it appears it'll ship around the 24th. I really thought this one was worth waiting for. You guys who ordered it like I did please chime in here.

I received it last Sunday. It looks class. Gonna rock a clear case with it which is arriving today.

Yes, I did. Will be here next Wednesday.

I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

And I guess this thread is pointless clutter since there's already a waiting room thread made weeks ago...... But that's how xda is no one uses the threads already created so we just end up with clutter... Just because it's a different color doesn't mean it needs it's own thread.... There's already a waiting room....

Hmm, I just did a search for the waiting room thread, can't find it anywhere in my searches. Since the Almond was not released at the same time and is a limited edition, I think a separate thread is well warranted. So I suppose the only thing that could be clutter is someone who is not waiting for this color of phone.
But what do I know? I've only been around these sites for 10+ years.

Oh I am as well. Finally got shipping info and I'll have mine Tuesday or hopefully sooner. Can't wait to see that beauty. I feel your pain man, it seems as if every darn company goes across the globe for service center workers which is seriously annoying. While I am sympathetic to OP in lieu of some fast growth they should have thought more about the reps talking to the world and having some good English knowledge. Thanks for sharing your smartphone walk here. In my case I started with the LG G3 (BLACK), went to Note 5 (black), S8 (black), note 8b(black), so (blue for 30 days then sold it).

Oh I am as well. Finally got shipping info and I'll have mine Tuesday or hopefully sooner. Can't wait to see that beauty. I feel your pain man, it seems as if every darn company goes across the globe for service center workers which is seriously annoying. While I am sympathetic to OP in lieu of some fast growth they should have thought more about the reps talking to the world and having some good English knowledge. Thanks for sharing your smartphone walk here. In my case I started with the LG G3 (BLACK), went to Note 5 (black), S8 (black), note 8b(black), so (blue for 30 days then sold it).

I'm going to have mine Monday according to the tracking info I have now. I will post some pics as soon as I have it up and running the way I want. Or sooner, lol.
Suffer me this. My smartphone 'walk' actually started with the Motorola A4500, code named Napoleon, also known as the Q9n. It was a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that we had to hack to unlock the GPS chip for third party apps. It was probably this first phone to really run google maps on Verizon. It was never released, maybe about 200 or so were 'leaked' out to the public. It was cool because it said "Engineering Release Only" on one side and "Not for the Public" on the other.
My Android walk was the A855, then the Galaxy Nexus, toyed with the Motorola razrM just because I got one that the bootloader could be unlocked on, then the HTC One M8 because it could be unlocked as well and the Gnex was getting old. Samsung doesn't make phones to last IMHO. Then Motorola with the Nexus 6. Motorola makes phones. I didn't see anything with what I wanted in a phone that would outdo the Nexus 6 until the Oneplus 6T, four years later. And here I am now. The 6T has been a finicky beast when it comes to flashing ROM's and such. For me, especially restoring Nandroids. So when I got soft bricked recently, I saw the 7 Pro and then in Almond and figured, I'll get that one, rock it, root it, rom it, and then just enjoy it for a few years. Screw all the updates. I learned on the A855 that although being able to run the latest on it is not always the greatest as the hardware was pretty much designed for the software available at the time. It might go one or two steps, but then your performance is going to fall off. That's why my Nexus lasted four years. It's still on Lolipop 5.1.1 and running well as it is again my daily driver while I wait to get this one.

Well, its here. I'm on my nexus 6 right now so I hope I can figure out how to post the one picture. The almond back is sort of pearlish and I really like the gold outer band. I've got it charged and now to go full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes and unlock the bootloader etc.
