Because it won't be released in that country? Lolz, hope not (at least for you).
Seriously no idea, you should call them

Well, this is there south east asian site, I hope they release, afaik, its already available in Hong Kong.

Maybe they have reserved it for their next big innovation on june 24th. See: http://pocketpc-live.com/touch-hd/touch-hd-2-is-coming.html

As far as I know, the device is not released in Hong Kong yet. It's not even on HTC's HK website. And it's not in any of the major electronics retailers. Where have you found it in HK? I will go there at once to get one!

@pctan: e Kababayan wassup?
@ohyeahar: Well, it is on expansys.com.hk
@orbitalen: You right, I guess its just a late update on the local sites?

This is not officially a Hong Kong release. It is actually a UK version and will not be warranted by HK HTC.
That is why I have held back and wait for a bit. It should launch with in the next 2 weeks.

I agree. Still waiting for official release in HK. Besides, Expansys overcharges way too much. Eg. they charge 5425 HKD for Diamond2 while it's widely available in retail stores for 4880 HKD.

Yes, they do over charge now but at the time when it was launched they were only selling it at $4xxx.xx. The only reason I think the price has gone up is because of the exchange rate for GBP to HKD. I remember it because I was going to order it until I found that it was a UK version and not warranted by HK HTC.
BTW, CSL 1010 should have a better offer for the TP2 anyway. I will order it from them as soon as HTC announces a launch date in HK. They usually have a press conference with hot models (girls) showing off the phones.
I saw on ePrice.com.tw in Taiwan (sorry guys, the website is in Chinese), they have launched it over there, the first in Asia.
So HK will usually follow suit within a couple of weeks, just like the HTC Magic.

Just found out it launches in Hong Kong on Tuesday 9 June. Look here! I will call CSL to see if I can pre order it tomorrow.
Can't wait!

For those of you who are looking for this device in Hong Kong, it's officially released!
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/press.aspx?id=102024&lang=1033
(Seems HTC is not partnering up with CSL for this one...)
It mentions the suggested retail price of 5680 HKD.
I actually just ordered the device from Clove (http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=C64E151D-03FE-49D1-8412-C266A9D3D48B). With DHL shipping, it came to 464 Euro which is about 5000 HKD. (Expecting it in a week!)

Yes, I found out today. Shame, I was expecting to go with CSL, it is only with Smartone Voda Phone and PCCW.
I will give Smartone a visit tomorrow to see when they are getting it in stock.
Wow, that is really cheap! Thing is, it won't be warranted by HTC HK. Which I think is more important than $700 HKD.

LiveView North America?

Has anything been announced about when LiveView is going on sale in North America? I'd like one but haven't been able to find anything in terms of a release date.

North America, where's that?
SE thinks North America is on another planet where release dates are just figments of people's imaginations.
Seriously though, I'm with you. I'd like to get my hands on one as well but have yet to see it offered anywhere on this side of the pond.

same here, hopefully they get it out before Christmas. And seriously, I just wanna take over SEAmerica, they're slow as hell!

you can order it on the uk amazon. The total is around 89 dollar canadian including shipping

From which seller?
The cheapest one is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Erics...534U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1290524520&sr=8-2 which is £67.97 which works out to $110.

well i found another one on amazon, look for the seller soteluk
this one is 52.37 + 7 = around 60 euro
The seller in the link u have were selling it for 56 euro for a while, i bought mine for that price, the shipping was around 7 euro which work out to be 86 dollars canadian.

i doubt liveview will launch in north america like many other sony ericsson accessories. i mean, most of the time i go on the SE website, i select Hong Kong -English or UK just to keep up to date with the latest electronics.. it's a joke if you ask me.

Here's one for $100. Still a bit much I think.
Getgoods.de has one for some 42 euros + shipping but I don't think they ship outside Europe.

Please, soteluk's Liveview is £52.37 + £29.99 international shipping = $128.
You had my hopes up for a while there...

[Q] Buying The Galaxy Nexus In Germany

Hey Guys
My friend going to Germany and I want him to buy for me me the Galaxy Nexus.
Since we do not know Germany (by the way,he is going into Munich), I'd Glad if anyone can help us and tell me where it will be possible to buy it on Nov 17 Germany, Munich
Thanks in advance!
P.S
I heard they sell it in Vodafon as sim-free, Is it true? If so, where it will be possible to buy it there?
Thank you!
Sorry if I went through the Forum Rules..

Hello, I'm from Germany and I would advise your friend to preorder it to a German postal address (by Amazon.de or cyberport.de). I doubt that Vodafone or O2 or even big stores like Media Markt/Saturn have this device exactly on the date of release in stock.
Also, I would suggest him to be there a bit longer (talking about 2-3 days) than just until the 17th as there is no guarantee he'll have it in his hands on exactly this date.
If anyone else has another idea, go ahead. But this are my best 2 cents I have.

Tell your friend to look for "Vodafone" and "O2" Shops, they have been confirmed to carry the Galaxy Nexus during the UK launch of the Galaxy Note.
You might want to look for "Debitel" Shops also since you can already pre-order the Nexus there (for a good price: 530€).
But none of them said they would get the Galaxy Nexus on the 17th yet.

Mobilcom-debitel is also selling the Galaxy nexus without branding or sim-lock for a very affordable 529,95€, you might want to check that out.
Nice to see a thread for German sales in particular. Does anyone know if the 32GB model will be for sale here in November?
Regards
qwer23
edit: Just re-read the post above mine and saw that this shop was already mentioned - sorry!

Back to the original question, will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November? Because in Mobilcom-debitel it says you can only buy it from week 47 (November 21st)

The last time I wanted a SIM free phone at a German Vodafone shop, they wanted me to become a subscriber. No thanks.

will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November?

You might be out of luck. It looks like week 47 is the earliest date to get the Nexus in germany. There are a few sites stating Nov 24 as release date (= week 47) but nothing more concrete has been made public.
Edit 2011-11-10:
Ok, now o2 germany also said they are expecting the Galaxy Nexus to arrive in week 47. https://twitter.com/#!/telefonica_de/status/134322435293057024

I just realized I have family in Munich. Does anyone know if an unlocked GSM is currently on sale there and what the price would be in American dollars?

Anyone know of any German sites that sell to the rest of the EU that can also actually be contacted?
Handyattacke.de simply won't respond at all and mobilcom-debitel.de seems to be domestic delivery only.

It should be available during the next few days. But I don't what is happening now because of the Volume bug. Most of the shops have the 2. December as a date.
The price would be something around this.
529.90 Euros = 712.55653 U.S. dollars

Thanks, but I know about expansys already and they are based in France if I remember correctly. They also charge more than Swedish stores and the release date seems to be the same. The reason I asked originally was because Handyattacke.de has a noticably lower price while the UK has a noticably higher price.

Hm yeah I saw that but I don't know any other stores which sell all over Europe.

Check out this list of german stores: geizhals(dot)at/deutschland/692132
You could try contacting the following major stores: cyberport, redcoon & alternate
(sry cant post urls :/)

handyattacke.de responded when I emailed them on an unlisted email address. They only said they expected them in stock "early december" so not very detailed there. I asked them for an estimate at least.

Apparently they will get it sometime during week 49.

Cyberport seems to the firstone to ship (01.12.2011)

Hi,
So I might be taking a trip to Germany in the end of December and was thinking maybe to get the GN while I am there. Because of ties to the military I will be able to get a refund for the VAT which could mean under $600... But I can only do this if I buy it in a store, not from the internet. Have you confirmed any stores for sure selling it unlocked? I know in my town there is a Media Markt and a Saturn as well as T-Mobile, O2 and Vodaphone stores.
Thanks

Hi,
Vodafone and O2 having this phone in their "upcoming models" list. I presume they will have it by Christmas.
Good luck.

Update:
MediaMarkt is selling out GalaxyNexus since yesterday (30-Nov) afternoon. Price is 599EUR. (With guarantee that if price goes down in Christmas, you will get the benefit too. I have no more information on that.)
Call your nearest MediaMarkt and reserve one as they've limited (first shot) stocks.
I bought one last night and I'm loving it!

If I buy a Tab S in the US and sent it to myself in Europe?

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.

Oneplus 3 Shipping and costs

hi there
i want to buy oneplus 3 and i wonder why on amazon and other sites the phone price is about 150$ higher
and what's the difference between if i buy it from oneplus site or another site like amazon or ebay or gearbest
and i wonder about if there will be any more fees for the shipping and how much time will it take to arrive to Morroco (africa)
and if they will give me a tracking code

you know you can try to put it in the cart and proceed until the shipping cost shows up right? without having to complete the order..
and yeah they did give me a tracking number

yeah i've tried that's after i made this post and been suprised to find out that's they don't support worldwide shipping

I'm in the US. When I ordered my OP3 directly from OnePlus, the standard shipping option was free of charge. However, I chose to pay the $10 to upgrade to faster shipping and received my phone in two business days. So, I paid $USD 410 in total to get my device in two days. It shipped from California.
If you're in Europe or Hong Kong, be aware that sales are being suspended from August 9 to September 12, so get your order in soon if that applies to you. Source: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/information-on-oneplus-3-availability-in-europe.458234/
