POOL 4G Thread gone?
ugh. the mods merged my thread with the other one. can you please delete this? its going no where fast. thanks.
oh noes! it is gone with no warnings, pms or otherwise! I'm very upset at its loss
Probably because it violated Forum Rule #5.
That thread was kinda borderline.....

If you read the thread you know who was the Grinch on Christmas trying to get it taken down.

Did the wimax thread just get deleted???
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
Yea pretty much.

Seriously??? Why?

and why tonight of all nights and only aweek or 2 away from the thread being old news and obsolete
Although it was admirable that shinzul and toast were developing wimax for cm, a "bounty" thread such as that one was not in keeping with the spirit of xda. I cannot speak for them but I feel that is likely why it was taken down.
If you allow one such bounty thread where does it end?
I fully support the developers outstanding work on wimax, but the thread was just inappropriate.

Probably something to do with GPL.That's why most of the Gingerbread threads were closed.

Or was it rule 8? Can't recall, but anyway, whichever one prohibits compensation of developers in exchange for specific work.

It was a bounty thread. I donated to the cause but I believe it was taken down for the best of the community

8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
If xda allows one "bounty" thread they must allow them all. Where does it end? Does xda turn into one giant "Wanted" poster?
Everyone supports and believes in the work shinzul and toast were doing on wimax and we look forward to their eventual success, but if you solicit donations in advance for specific work to be done, then they are no longer donations but compensation. Donations cannot have an "if" attached.
WTF .... dont the mods know they can lock a thread too? why delete everything?
if they remove one then remove then all, or change the rules
damn... so close too.. just gonna have to follow shinzul's tweets.
I live in the US and I am planning to buy the 4gb/32g version from ebay. It seems like 23port is the only seller with the item available.
My question is about customs and fees. If I buy this on ebay, will I pay any customs fees. If so, how will I pay them?
Most times when buying from over seas ( me personally ) they marked the item as a gift. So didn't have to pay these fees. I would send them a message and ask them.

i would just wait on the us version i believe they are having an event on the 28th so the phone should release thereafter

I bought it from him. I live in Dallas and no issues. Just paid for what he was asking for the phone.

I bought from 23port my 2GB version of Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and I have asked the buyer to mark it as a gift to Canada. The buyer marked the phone value as $90 CDN so I won't get tax as much. Once I received it from FedEx, I just pay them the duties for it which is around $22 CDN.
Hi. I was thinking about ordering a 5t.
Anyone in Ontario order one? Can you tell me how much you paid total for shipment and customs?
Thanks.
There isn't customs.
Use the 10% student discount. Brings it down to around $740 tax in.

Same story. But ordered two phones. They were delivered from California for less than 24 hours by DHL express.
Although I have not ordered any special shipping service.
The 128gb? How can I use the student discount?
I'm not a student
I'm very interested too, is anybody want to share their student discount ?

There is nothing to share.
Just register here
https://www.studentbeans.com/student-discount/us/oneplus
and you will get the personal discount code that will be valid for one month.
But do not use gmail when you register, try to use something else.
PS.
I also came from my good old Nexus 6 to OP5T
I still think Nexus 6 the best Google phone ever made. Had zero issues with it for 3 years.
I'm not a student so I cant buy it with the discount ( or there's another way? ) anyone o had bought it without the discount can share how much has paid?
Thanks in advance
I bought mine on the release day and received it on Black Friday (which is no special day in Canada). Paid about $740, used a referral code from a friend.
Very happy with it. It works perfectly on Public Mobile (which doesn't sell phones and expects you to have one unlocked, though Telus-locked phones will work).
IIRC there was only one shipping choice, DHL (yuk) and the phone shipped from California HST-paid so it didn't stop at customs.
I'm looking to purchase multiple Honor20 and Honor View 20 codes, will negotiate the price of 20USD per code. Will be buying up to 5 codes per week! Please message me ASAP! If you have the phone, I will tell you how to retrieve the code and pay for it.
OP appears to be a code reseller. These codes are worth a lot more than $20, it's likely they will buy the codes here for a low price and then resell them at a higher price elsewhere. Pretty sure that's against XDA's rules.
So I finally ordered the S20FE 5G from Samsung US. Best deal in my opinion.
0. Sign up bonus on Rakuten and get$30 credit before ordering https://www.rakuten.com/r/88SALE
1. Preorder Phone -$699 https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/g...d-sm-g781uzbmxaa/?skipDevice=galaxy-s20-fe-5g
(Unlocked) 6GB/128GB model number is
SM-G781UZBMXAA which is same model as Amazon
You are right
It is 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.
2. Use the Samsung $70 credit to get Galaxy Fit2 + Phone Silicon Cover free
3. Use Promo Code "ref-6njtsf" Get 5% off $35. Max discount is $100 depending on the phone.
4. Place order.
5. Once order is submitted, go back into order details and cancel the phone item. You will be asked reason and select Cheaper elsewhere - Amazon. You will then be offered 10% discount! Accept the offer!
My Samsung total cost came to $598.49! Difference from Amazon is that you get the free Fit2 and silicon cover.
Note the 10% discount will be refunded to your credit card after a few days.
sadly I missed all of the promo. However, I used education program to get 35$ off, and bought it. Few days latter.. finding out Amazon is 100$ less, so I live chatted with Samsung and asked for a price match and they promised to refund 100$ to my card lol...
Thus, I bought the phone at $564 with free stuff.. (without the tax
imagine I had 30$ credits.. might took it at price of $534
Just to update, the US pre order from Samsung is a 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.
Looks like OP missed most important Price Match step, chat with agent to get a $100 discount code by asking price match to Amazon or Best Buy.
Also, you are welcome use my code ref-baz8ka to get additional 5% discount.
Thanks,
Neither one of the referral code are working for me
Here is another code ref-x73yfo, works for me just now.
Direct Link if code doesn't works
I got $100 off from Amazon, then another $100 off for applying for their credit card. $540 after tax.
I got the $200 off a new 5g phone from T-Mobile with an insider code. I am gonna keep my OnePlus 7 Pro incase I don't like the S20FE.
I signed up for the education discount. That brought the price down to $647.00. That was a 7.50% discount.
I confirmed that price and processed the order.
Next, I went to "My Orders" and clicked cancel. I chose the option for "found better price" and got a 10% discount on the site immediately. They took 10% off the original price ($699), not the discounted price. That brought the price to $576.00, before tax.
Expedited shipping is free.
