I already have one, and I love it. So does my family, they all want one. I've been asked to search for one for my mother.
I got mine from Clove when it came out for 330, which ended up being roughly $600 Australian, a fantastic deal. I'm just curious to know, after a few months, where people have been getting them and whether they've been cheaper elsewhere.
Also, if possible, where I might find a cheap Silver model for around the same price (it would make it easier to tell the second one apart). All the expansys models end up totaling $700-$800 which is way too much.
Thanks in advance.

checkout Handtec.com, i found their prices to be the lowest, and they ship worldwide!
Ok cool the handtec shop has the phone for a tiny bit less.
How about the silver one? I found one on a European website and I couldn't read the shipping information but the phone was ~$700 AUD. Anyone know of a better price getting around?
I think you mean pdashop.nl and they say that they have an exclusive deal with HTC for that, but I don't think they ship to Australia
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Searched around, and find Importing from UK is about $695, shipping included (Handtec or Clove). While Expansys offers $750, Newegg offers $760. The difference is more than $50
So my focus is on warranty. Can we get US warranty when importing from UK?
Is expansys-us's warranty really US warranty or they also send it back to UK? How about Newegg?
Which one would you choose? Can anyone give better offers?
I'm on ATT and have to use it in China so I need the unlocked version
Decisions, please!
I don't know how you're paying, but with Google Checkout, they charged me over $20 for foreign currency, so it comes out to be closer.
Also amazon has a few 3rd party sellers who sell it for cheaper - and offer warranty.
Even if they offered warranty from UK, it would be expensive to ship it.

Didn't go through the whole process, stopped at checkout page and chose shipping to US and see price at 445 pounds. Thanks for the notice for additional fees.
BTW, will there be 8% tax charged when going through custom?
I believe eXpansys do offer warranty but I have no idea how they are doing their warranty. However, based on my experience, I feel safer getting mine from eXpansys mainly because they have an office based here in US and they are well known for their good customer service (at least for me). So I am more comfortable getting it from them. That's just my opinion though

Just found a better deal from Negri, original price $739, additional coupon $35, so only $704. How about warranty from Negri?
Update, looks like Negri needs people to pay at least $715.5, but this price is still okay.

Shouldn't pay any extra tax or anything.
Found someone saying international version will be available on bestbuy at $529 after verizon release?
That will be a huge steal, but is it possible?
If not, I think I will go by expansys next week after they have new stocks

Considering it's also speculated VZ will have a period of exclusivity and I don't believe Best Buy sells international versions - they only sell you phones that the carriers they support sell, I highly doubt it.
it'll be $649-$699 for off contract price, just like all other brand new high end android device.
I bought mine from amazon for $735
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZEF01A/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
They now have it for $643.50 with coupon for a pre-sale price. It's in my basket on holding debating what to do. This is for the Verizon version. I did ask that whether it was the 16 or 32GB since it just says Internal Memory 16/32. I also wanted to know how they would deliver it as it list overnight delivery, which would be a Saturday. However, if you read their fine print on all shipping, it will say, "If you choose Overnight Shipping you are getting a discount price on Second Day Air" and so on.
So, buy it now or wait?
Also, does anyone know how Verizon handles phones that you buy outright? Are you still locked into a 2 year contract? Or, do you pay monthly even if you have an account with them? I always get conflicting answers when I call or go into the stores. Thanks for your help and opinions. I know we all can't wait!

That was for the presales. I got mine from them this weekend for the 704.
Supposedly both expansys and they will send off your phone to the uk for warranty work. Supposedly.

where do you get the $643? Is the verizon unlocked version a world phone? There's no point for an unlocked phone with only cdma/lte
I got mine from Expansys. They will take warranty returns back to ship for you to England for warranty service. That makes it easier than trying to deal with customs your self. (See a lot of warranty discussion in the General Forum, under Expansys USA Now Shipping thread, at (I think):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359169
Also, in the same thread, there are reports that Negri does not offer a warranty. I don't know if true or not.
Remember - buyer beware, and check very carefully! Good luck.
From Negri:
DEFECTIVE ITEMS: A defective item may be returned for repair within 25 days of date of purchase. If an repair is not possible we will offer a refurbished replacement. If this is not available you will be offered a store credit toward a future purchase. If you would prefer a refund (instead of a store credit), you may request a full refund, minus shipping charges. The exchange process typically takes 8-10 days to complete. Every (Non Carrier Branded) device comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. After 25 days our exchange/return policy has expired, you should contact the manufacturer for repair or for warranty replacement or exchange, if your device qualifies for this. Please contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you hold is covered under their warranty. If you would like to send your device to us to send to the manufacturer you are free to do so. Please request an RMA. This will delay the warranty process by 1-2 weeks and you will be charged shipping to and from the manufacturer. You will need the original invoice from us in order to have your item repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer. Warranty varies by manufacturer, but typically warranties are valid for 1 year from purchase. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST request an RMA in order to return any device.
So, it looks like you can send it to Negri, and they'll just send it to the repair center, but charge for shipping. Lame, compared to expansys. Since you might a well just send it to the repair center yourself.
But expansys has branches in many countries, so they probably can help out more.
Yea I work for verizon, and if you purchased your phone outright then its just a simple equipment change, with no contract extention, althought you would need a micro sim for it to work so you might have to go to a verizon store for one of those. I was considering getting a verizon one but because of the google wallet thing and the brand on the back and the unknown battery life with the LTE radio I think I'd rather not, I already ordered my International Gnex from Expansys with the $20 off voucher, so I got it for $729, not a bad deal if you consider the warranty assistance. The $20 off voucher code is 20offls

Don't forget to use BigCrumbs.com for 4% cash-back when ordering from Expansys-USA, which is essentially another $30 off.
Hi guys,
I've been looking furiously the last few days for an extended battery that I can have shipped to Canada. I looked at Amazon, but they don't ship to Canada and the Canadian price on Amazon.ca is a bit too much for a Hyperion. Ebay.ca has it as well, but they charge 25$ shipping (more than the product itself ) so I was thinking of the Max Power 4500s. I saw a review on the forums of it, and not many people seem to use it. Is it worth using, without the fear of damaging the phone? If not, is there any other extended battery you guys can recommend, without me having to pay a fortune (student, btw :silly.
Thanks .
Bump, anybody? . I was hoping to order something today.
Try This
Try this: amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-Compatible-GT-i9300-T-mobile/dp/B008GWIVTQ
I don't have an Amazon account so I couldn't check for sure, but according to the shipping rates and policies it shouldn't be $25 for shipping international. Hopefully this works.

Thanks for the link. That's the same one I'm trying to have shipped to Canada. However, Amazon.com doesn't ship this particular one and the equivalent .ca website has it for the full $34.99, which is weird considering the savings the American site is offering. I was thinking of just going with the Max Power for $10 off of ebay, but not many people seem to use it.
Try Contacting Hyperion
Here's a link to the seller information page: amazon.com/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_ss?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A2J4FIRE2AQPV8#aag_legalInfo
Maybe you can contact them and ask if they can ship it out to Canada for you?

I'm not sure what price you think is reasonable. But I bought the hyperion on amazon.ca. For $35 I will say this.... no fuss, no muss. No duties charges. It shipped really fast. The only disappointment was that there was a small crack in the side of the case from shipping. After contacting Hyperion, they sent a new cover to me. The battery is worth every penny. I couldn't stand the lackluster battery life of the stock battery.

Although I haven't bought from them personally, I know that Negri is a reputable seller that has been around for some time.
Isn't it cheaper to get the phone form T-Mo directly though?
Yes they are a reputable dealer, and yes direct from T-mobile is cheaper by $20-30.
I bought the original Note from them back in the days when it was first released.

Take note these guys will charge a 20 - 30% restocking fee on any phone you buy from them. I for one will never buy from them again because of this.

That is actually incorrect. The fee is based on many different variables, all of which are covered in the store policies.
You may be referencing a return of a new release. In that case if you order a product at $800, and return it unused after 7 days, your restock fee is based on the current site price, time out of our possession and condition of exterior packaging and accessories within the box. If the price of the device happens to be $600, your restock fee would be close to 25%.
Restocking Fees are not used to generate profit for our business. We use restocking fees to recover costs incurred during shipping and receiving of returned items, as well as price changes that may have occured while the device was out of our possession and unable to be sold.
We are very transparent in everything we do. If there is an issue please contact us so that we can explain in greater detail. Please do not mislead XDA readers. When posting your issue, please provide further detail so that others may make a educated decision as to where to purchase their next device.
We apologize that you are upset, but we do have the store policies posted and do not assess fees as a form of punishment, or to generate profit. We can only hope that you read the policies and ask questions if you have them.
Fair and Balanced - Always.

Does anyone know of a reputable vendor that will sell me a H815-EU- the one I can actually unlock bootloader on, from LG directly?
The "international" versions on Amazon aren't reliable- already bought one, and although the box was factory sealed and said "H815", it was a Singapore version that LG disqualified from unlocking. Of course, I'd rather use a 1950 pulse dial landline telephone than deal with the crapware on the US carrier versions (since we can't flash custom roms to defeat that crap).
LG doesn't seem to sell this directly, either. At least not in the US?
I'm sure I could find "some guy" on teh Intarnet that "has one"... but looking for a reliable vendor that will sell NIB factory sealed. I'm not looking to turn this into a solicitation post!
Any recommendations?
Don't know of anywhere in the USA. I had to import mine from Handtec.
Are there any additional sources for the 815EU that ship to US?
Chase bank and I got into a fight over letting me use my credit card at Handtec (the former is now fired, rot in hell) and the latter probably thinks I am a scammer for trying four successively declined charges... I would too, nothing against them.
I ended up getting it from Amazon... forgot you could order simply by doing "amazon.co.uk" rather than accepting the country default... your US login also works, but it won't recognize you if you are signed in from the US and don't do it again for the UK site. Think it was like $26 shipping and duties, which is pretty damn cheap.
Wonderful phone, BTW... I love it.

Do you have the link to the seller you used on eBay? I actually looked into this, but the sources I found would not ship to US.

I looked up my order, and sure enough, that seller no longer ships to the US.
This is the link to the one I ordered: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WIYGXBG
It appears one of the leather cased ones has a seller that does ship to the US.
The one I got (bootloader) unlocked just fine, just please note for your own sake that there are a lot of ones claiming to be H15EUs (like the first one I tried, a Singapore edition) that LG won't consider eligible to unlock.
There are probably other countries' Amazon sites with different shipping policies, if you can speak languages other than English... I tried for the low-hanging fruit.
