why such a big price difference? - Desire General

on expansys and play.com it is £439.99
on handtec.co.uk its £387.15
why?

Just to add to your confusion
405.95 @ Buymobilephones
£348.99 @ MobilePhonesDirect

Because it's new, and some will earn more on it.

Good place to buy it?

Is clove a good site to get this phone from or is there a better place?
Without contract the best places are expansys - £494, Handtec - £502 and Clove - £514
With a contract the best place is www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, you can get the phone on Vodafone or T-Mobile for a very cheap price and it is fully unlocked to all networks.

I get it from clove. Fast delivery and nice tracking too :>
I get it from Inkino in London the price is 519 pounds.
I'd vote for Clove - have used them for years (since the Psion days) and they're nice & friendly. Delivered mine next day.
Did any of you US clove buyers end up paying import duties? If so, how much?
My vote is for Clove also. Just started using them but found them to be quick and reliable.

Value Added Tax like the States Sales tax...

!!! HTC TOUCH PRO 2? How much should I pay for it?

Do you guys think $460 USD for a new one is a good deal for it? Thanks!
I can tell you that mine with a contract from T-Mobile was $396 taxes and shipping. I simply renewed with a new 2 year contract to get that price. Still not happy with the cost, but it was still cheaper than getting one with a German QWERTZ keyboard ( since I live in Germany and have T-Mobile in the US, too).
Oh... Hmmm, well, I'm getting it from T-mobile too, except without a contract. I think without contract should make up for it, no? Since I'm on prepaid.
wow, that much WITH a 2 year contract? i got mine for free with an 18 month one

If it´s unlocked and with no contract price is ok I think.
If you have the link where I can get it one for that price please post it here!
Sorry no link. I'm using craigslist.
Not a bad deal at all. I paid $540 shipped overnight for mine unlocked. Wasn't brand new but it basically was. Hardly used, 10/10 condition, box and all accessories. I wish I couldve paid just $460 haha ... hell, if you don't like it, you can always resell it for $100+ more than what you paid.

Do a quick search of the forum. I just ordered mine today for $149 ... No activation, free shipping...
Paying more than $150 isn't a good deal...
I´m sure prices will drop waiting all this fever of getting it first!
So if there is no rush for having it, waiting always is better.
Damm, I can´t wait to have one

many people here not realizing how lucky they are with the subsidized price from operators... *although by partially selling your soul to them on contract *
i can confirm shadixs experience cuz I paid around that much too. but in our cases, it's price after tax and includes after-sales warranty. we can buy through ebay, or imports, but no after-sales...
you paid 655, is it included warranty... sir?
peid 600
paid 600 Euros without a contract.
Everz single Euro was worth it !!!!

$$ Expected price of unlocked Desire??

Those price include the VAT (VAT are kindda taxes and they only apply for European countries) judging from your flag, you're not in Europe, so if you happen to order, the VAT value will be deducted from the over-all price you mentioned

Last time I checked...around $530 from Handtec
I will wait for black market version, the shop guy pretends he will get it within 2 weeks
As for the price if he's selling the N1 for 750$ right now I think the Desire will cost 650$
BTW ok it costs much less from Clove but you have to add 20% Lebanese customs

£70 postage??
i would want to but i don't think it is a good idea i mean all these problems people are having about burn ins and stuff, warranty would be very expensive and a pain

Feel free to go to UPS.com and calculate the rates yourself for a 2lb package with dimensions 8x6x4 inches.
O2 now have them in stock for the UK Just ordered one!
They only deliver to home address and I'm not willing to take a day off work. I'll take my chances next week and visit an o2 store.

Hey Everyone. A quick question, where can I purchase the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL Sim Free, Unlocked and shipped to the UK?
I got mine off ebay, though it was shipped, direct, from Taiwan to Australia...
Expansys or does Kogan ship to UK?
I too got it off ebay, shipped directly from Taiwan. I have had it for over 3 weeks now. It's an amazing phone !

Was neither, was an American company that contacted me with an Asian lady (who wasn't great with english) by emails. It was drop-shipped to me from Taiwan through Fedex...
