I have been searching, and cannot find anywhere to buy this specific model.
I want the 802L specifically, since it has the LTE bands that T-Mobile uses.
Does anyone know where I can buy one online?
Thanks!
There's one for sale on Amazon right now. I bought mine from the ebay user: factory-unlocked Maybe you could contact them about getting one? When I bought mine (July) they were selling them from both China and the USA. Now they don't list them for sale but maybe they could get you one.

Thanks - unfortunately the one on Amazon right now is listed under the 802L, but is actually an 803L if you go to the seller's listing.
I had contacted a number of eBay sellers, and could not find any that could supply the 802L model.
I just thought I would update this in case anyone else came along.
I ended up using buyee.jp to order one directly from Amazon Japan.
I will update this when it arrives.

So, I received the tablet and have been using it for a little while on T-Mobile.
It took about a week for the Buyee process to work. The total added price, over the Amazon.co.jp price, was about $35.
Everything is working well, great tablet, love the build quality.
Didn't like the launcher, so I switched it with Nova straight off.
Hoping Marshmallow comes soon.
The tablet DOES work as a phone on the T-Mobile network, and gets LTE.
I have personally seen up to 40Mb/s down on it.
As a phone... The speaker is near your ear, but it faces outward. Don't try to make any private calls in public places with it, as bystanders can hear your conversations.
Hope this helps someone else like me.

I'm buying the phone in a few days and need advice. What is the best online retailer for buying this phone in the US? The ones I know about are: expansys, negri-electronics, ebay, amazon, and craigslist. I wanted to make sure I got the Taiwan build since a lot of people have given positive feedback on Taiwan builds. Does anyone expect HTC to fix some of the build issues under-the-radar or is it mostly software related. Let me know, thanks.
can't vouch for best. i first ordered from negri last weekend and never received a responding confirmation. i emailed and they said they had no stock and didn't know when new stock would arrive. then i cancelled and they tried to call me to say oh, heavens, they had one, but their free shipping offer did not apply to hawaii, so they would need to charge me $32 more. i said thanks but no thanks. went to expansys and ordered. order got held up a bit because i ordered some items not immediately available. it got straightened out and my order arrived within the week in great condition.
the phone from expansys comes out of taiwan. there's a rumor that the taiwan phones are not exhibiting the same build issues as those from china. i can't say my copy is perfect, because the previous android i had was not very sophisticated, and neither am i when it comes to android. but it doesn't seem to be exhibiting any serious problems . i bought an att micro-sim card off amazon and signed up for att prepaid $2/day unlimited talk/text and added a data package. seems to work in general, but i haven't used it extensively. by the way, the expansys htc came with a sim-card tray opener pin. the amazon micro-sim sold by abe 1-2-3 is a true micro-sim - does not require any cutting down.
I always find the cheapest to be ebay from Hong Kong sellers, can get for $650 AUD
I'm currently visiting Singapore and just picked one up at Sim Lim Square for $722 SGD which is about $600 AUD which in tern is about $600 US?
Thanks guys for the advice. By the way, do you know if it would be cheaper to have it imported from Singapore?
Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).
Just checked over my device and some you tube video posts.. a few things.
I got the P605 from ATGSM.com.
The box was sealed with sticker and all.
Inside the box there were no replacement stylus tips (as seen in all the you tube reviews)
Also the box does not look like any of the boxes i see in the reviews. I take it that the version they shipped me is originally the Hong Kong.
There were no specs on the box.
Did I get a fake...a clone....... What do I do now. I can post a pic of the box if you need to see it.
I need some serious help. I paid over $700 for this device. I just want to make sure its the real deal. Especially seeing how there are so many fakes out there. Please help.

Your box is not the same as the one in these video's, so I see what you are talking about. Besides the extra tips was anything else missing or different is your box? Your tamper sticker looks like it was placed over another one, what do you think when you look at it?
Can you post more photo's like side label and front of your box.

I bought a P605 via Negri Electronics a couple of weeks ago, and it was in an identical box to the one in your picture. My box also didn't have any spare stylus tips. Also had a Hongkong style adapter, which Negri provided a US adapter in the outer package.
I suppose the HK version just doesn't come with spare tips?
It seems real to me.

I bought my N-8000 and SM-P601 from Negri and had no issues. The only problems I heard regarding the N3 and Negri was that some carrier devices they sold, mostly T-Mobile, that had their IMEI's reported stolen after people received them and started using them. Since Negri doesn't build devices and most of what they sell is grey market and imported from other countries they are kind of at the mercy of their suppliers. As far as I know they stood behind the devices with bad IMEI's and replaced or refunded them. If you're in the U.S. and buying a SM-P601/5, no matter who you're buying it from, you're taking a chance as to its origins, condition, and country of sale (which can't be the U.S. because neither is sold here). And know that none of them have a Samsung warranty because they're grey market. Negri, Expansys, and NewEgg are the biggest sellers of Samsung grey market devices in the U.S. and I've purchased from all three. My experiences have been fine but I've heard complaints (some horror stories) on all three. With grey market goods there's no such thing as Best Buy. And Amazon doesn't count; all their unlocked devices are sold via marketplace sellers.

They were selling used as new
They were selling stolen as new
They were selling phones with the seals broken that were still locked as unlocked and new
They were selling Phones that were rooted as new
They were selling Phones that were already Knox tripped as new
This is just a small list of the things they pulled

I'd read the thread before I bought my P-601 from them. All their Samsung HSPA devices come from the Samsung dealer in Trinidad. They had the P601 before anyone else reselling them in the U.S. did and it arrived in its shrink wrap and was perfect. The shrink wrapped Trinidadian N-8000 I got last year arrived with a bad display. Negri paid return shipping and overnighted me a new one (which was perfect). I asked where their LTE P-605's came from and they said Asia. I personally am not interested in any Asian-sourced imports because the s/w and Hub access are funky when used in the U.S. Software wise, Trinidad and Latin America are the most compatible. That's why I got a P-601. When people ask me where to buy Samsung grey market devices I mention the three company's above. I share my experiences (and the horror stories, lack of warranty, and other risks) and tell them to avoid PayPal (Amazon Payments is an option with Negri) and use a "customer friendly" credit card like Amex. I'm sorry some people got burned over the N3 but it doesn't change my positive experiences.
Same problem but got the solution.

I've been looking around for a new LG G3 for a while (unlocked - I have my own SIM). I didn't want to get one off Ebay so I was looking for a UK retailer. Carphone Warehouse had them for £479. I then found that Tesco's are doing them for £420 with free next day delivery.
Mine arrived today and seems fine. Official sealed box and everything.
So, just in case you are looking, this may help.

Sorry to tell you this, £329.99 very reputable retailer. Were £319 a few weeks ago.

I just noticed the 6Gb black edition is now available on Amazon from one seller "Appario Retail Private Ltd"
They seem to be the only seller with the black colour, anyone know if they are legit? googling their name returns some pretty bad feedback.
I am really hanging out to get the black version which no-one in India has sold so far.

I bought mine from them yesterday (the black variant) . It will get delivered by tomorrow. Rest assured if anything goes bad Amazon always replaces or refunds the entire amount . So go ahead and buy it.
Thanks, can you please post back here confirm you got everything as expected?
