Hi everyone and greetings from Finland. I am planning to purchase qtek 9090. In Finland phone price is more than 900 euros. Instead of Germany the price is less than 600 euros (without operator). Unfortunately for my practical use, English version sound much more well-suited for me than Germany version.
What to do? Do I have to accept local Qtek price or what? What about then if I buy Germany phone, Can I or is there any opportunities to change this OS language from Germany to English? About this purchase price, do you know even cheaper web-store to purchase this phone?
Thank you for you comments and helps.

Hello Everyone,
I'm very new to the board and also have interest in the XDA IIs. Excuse my ignorance, being a newbie and all in Canada.. we don't have access to purchase this excellent PDA.
I have a friend in HK who has tried to look for the XDA IIs but to my surprise, he states that the XDA IIs isn't available yet when he asks retail stores.
Can anyone confirm if it's available in yet in HK?? (or if you have purchased one in HK) I really would like to pick up asap. :!:
Thanks to all who reply!

There are xda iis selling in HK for almost half a year now.
Do you mean the Chinese version which is just selling I think for a month?
Cheers,
chris_khho,
Thanks..actually looking for English version. So it's been selling for 6mths there. Good to know thanks.!!
I bought my English version IIs in Hong Kong in December so they're available for sure.
Try one of these locations: http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaIIs/template/SalesLocations.vm
There are heaps there for sale!
and if you get stuck you can always buy from
http://www.expansys.com.hk/ - thats where I bought mine from, when to there head quarters with MTR!
Hi everyone,
A friend of mine in HK has scoped out the XDA IIs for approx HK$6950 (approx. US$891 / CAN$1119 / GBP$468) ..
Does this price sound reasonable? or should I wait for a price reduction when newer models come out ..? Your thoughts would be appreciated..

Well, I got my PDA2k for about $200 CDN less. Unless you really need the camera, it would likely be much cheaper to pick up a SX66 from the US.
sx66 (w/o camera) is only in the US, and its always tie to cingular. but there are always unlocked sets. i got mine for USD720, on ebay. should be the only one in singapore... ^.^
I think the MSRP in HK is HK$6,750 which was what I paid back in Jan...
Thanks for the replies everyone.. Appreciate the input !
Seems like the wait is over. The UK site of expansys has it announced for next week. Hope to see it in other locations soon.

yup saw it on the website http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=HTC _P3600
selling for £429.95, abt singapore $1300.00
No was refering to Artemis
Ok, but I was refering to Artemis. This is its forum.
Link is here http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=P3300_DELUXE
oops forgot to change the link when i edit the post just now sorry!!!
yeah tempted to get this or the p3600 htc trinity...
I am not a fan of Expensis prices...Artemis by HTC is 383 GBP in Germany, including 16% tax. Price differences for Tytn and Trinity are much higher, especially once the product is available from one of the German networks, under their own brand, sans contract of course...

On the upgrade it cost me about £60
u mean £60 for the upgrade or for the device plus upgrade?!
@lmf_slacker: In Europe operators give away mobile phones almost for free, or free, if one extends his contract or signs a new one, usually for 24 months. Therefore an Artemis can cost only 60 pounds.
Lucas> wow ok, seems like Singapore should pratice too!!! haha... thanks for the info, £60 is like such a dream price for me haha...

Hello, I live in Moscow, but going to visit London in a couple of days, do you think it would be better to but a Desire in London? The minimal price in Russia for it is 730 dollars...
So by buying it in England I just loose guarantee and that's it?
and where it is possible to buy a sim-free phone?
thx
You'd have to work out the exchange rate. Also, make sure that the phone can handle Russian characters. When I try and view Thai text on my UK phone I just get squares - you need to ensure you won't have this problem (it's in the rom, presumably, so it can probably be fixed but that in itself will invalidate the warranty).
Also, check that it'll work on Russian frequencies/networks.

some networks are selling it for 430ukp sim free, so its best to do the price conversion and make sure its worth it to you, anyway, a search on Tottenham Court Road would be the best to get personal electronics if in london as the shops there should be cheaper!
I'd recommend you to buy the desire in Budapest.
Just joking lol, i live in London and it is the best phone i've ever had
I'm on TMOBILE with Web'N'Walk Max, 900 mins, and Unl texts for £25/month
I am thinking about buying a Tab S in the US and having it sent to me in Europe because even with shipping it is significantly cheaper than buying here. (Nice little Samsung pricing scam: $399 in US and 399 euros here - a 35% difference!!!!) Is there likely to be a warranty problem OR, more importantly, activation or OS upgrade issues, IMEI or CSC problems? I know it can sometimes be a problem with activations on their phones if they are activated out-of-region.
arent most electronics more expensive in europe though? im thinking of buying from amazon too but only for non-LTE one.
the tab s is currently being sold in bahrain only the LTE version and as im a cheapskate i'll wait for the wifi versions in saudi
Warranty could be an issue as you would probably have to send it to the States for service. I purchased the Hong Kong version of the 7.7 and received what updates there were without any problems. Activation was not a problem either other than the opening screen being in Chinese.

They seem more expensive here, but as I pointed out 399 in dollars and 399 in euros. It's like Samsung doesn't really want price parity. I should have said I want the wifi only, so I don't know if activation, IMEI and CSC matter.
I dont know the Greek rules.
But if I was to ship it to the Netherlands I would have to pay
Initial purchase (no sales tax)
Shipping
Import tax
Sales tax over purchase price and shipping (21%)
Import handeling fee for your shipper (UPS, Fedex??)
A quick calculation shows I finnaly would have to pay 415 euros. Hardly a bargain.
If you send as a personal item / used electronics / (ahem) warranty repair [emoji12], all those problems go away - at least here. The one thing you do not do is send in an unopened factory box so they do not think you just bought it.
I live in France, I bought my Tab S 10.5 LTE on an Italian website.
I called Samsung France. The warranty is European, not worldwide. No problem for me.
The tab cost 100€ less than in France.
With shipping fees, I paid 512€ instead of 600€ in France.
Cool. What's the Italian site?
www.hw1.it
They only have the LTE version in Italy, no wifi only.
The price of the tab S offered on the italian site, with 3g/4g, is the same at the wifi-only version everywhere else. So, I am thinking, why not buy the 3g/4g+wifi. I never have to use the data connection, but if I ever desparately need 3g/4g, I can drop a SIM card into it. Hmmm. not a bad idea at all.
I bought my Tab S on the day of release in the US and walked back into the UK with it saving about 100 quid. I have added my device to my Samsung devices page and entered the serial number with no issues so guessing that as long as they don't want a receipt of purchase then warranty should not be an issue.

When I asked Samsung France about European warranty, they answered me "As long as you have the bill/receipt, it is ok, your Italian tablet is under warranty in France too"

I want to buy the 8.4 lte unit as it is the same price as the wifi only version elsewhere, but I find it a little discomforting that the price is 100 euros cheaper than it will be offered elsewhere. Should I be concerned about the product this website is offering?
I'm not sure to understand your word...
Yes I bought the LTE version on this Italian website same price than wifi version in France, and I'm very happy with it.
I was in holiday this week, far from any wifi access point, I was very happy to have the LTE version (with my multi sim data plan).
Price in France for wifi version : http://www.materiel.net/tablette-tactile/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-blanc-105481.html
Price in Italy for LTE version : http://www.hw1.it/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-sm-t805ntsaitv/
Take the 8.4inch, for example. The French site's price for the wifi-only tablet is the normally suggested 399 euro price. The wifi/4g-lte version is recommended to sell for 499 euros in Europe. But the Italian site is selling that one for 399 euros - a 100 euros discount (discount similar to the 10.5 inch prices). So my question is: are you satisfied with product you got from the Italian site because I think the price is quite low compared to what it is "supposed" to be.
Well it seems the price is normal in Italy, if you check some comparing Italian websites.
Yes I couldn't be more satisfied, I really recommend this website.
I asked some info in English by mail, they called me on my phone to confirm the tracking number of the package...
I was afraid when I paid, but now I'm very happy.
