Going to pull the trigger at the end of the week on this one. Only other alternatives are a few Hong Kong suppliers, random Chinese sellers by Google (brrr...) or a particularly overpriced company in the UK selling on eBay.

That's the screen of the SGS 1
Not S2
You're not wrong. This is why I don't let my wife email me links for replacement screens.
Nina tells me that she'll find it cheaper than the prices I have been finding. Oh no says I.
If you want a job doing properly....
Thanks Peter.
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.

Thanks, don't fancy buying a second had phone so it looks like I will be going ahead with Play.com.
Looked at ebuyer.com on friday and the price was £329. Today it's £389!!
It was £278 delivered TO UK on amazon.de this week, also £284 HERE

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).
Hello guys,
Do you happen to know a recommended place to buy Trident Kraken from?
I'm getting tired of the eBay sellers which do not offer international shipping (or shipping that costs twice the price of the case itself), and I haven't found many reliable stores that ship them globally for a fair price.
So, got any suggestions?
Perhaps one of Amazon's Worldwide Sites??
Here's a list of them:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250
Gettin mine tomorrow from Amazon for about $27.
Can't wait!!
Good luck man!!
Sadly, neither of the websites in the Amazon network ship such items to my location (books and CDs are OK, for some unknown reason).
I've ordered from eBay, hope it reaches me. The first attempt was refunded.
So here's my long story short - I've placed 2 orders now for a grey P8000 and still I have no phone. My original order was on October 3rd...
Both are Chinese/HK vendors (Focal Price & iGOGO) showing stock but weeks pass and nothing happens except generic responses to my queries about delays in receiving new stock.
Eventually I just cancel my orders (unfortunately manually via PayPal claims due to a lack of cooperation from the vendors).
Now I know these vendors can be a little shady with little or no customer service but I now wonder should I just give up? It seems there's no easy way for me to get this phone (at least at the RRP)?
I've since pre-ordered the Umi Iron Pro via BangGood but I'm now doubting whether this is a good move due to a lack of development, no open sources and no 800Mhz LTE for the UK. However the design is nice, twin flash, full metal casing, better cameras, OTG support and slimmer(!) bezels.
Would welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have. Such a shame as I really thought I'd have a new gadget to tinker with by now!
Try UK seller.
Although the prices are low there waiting time plus the chance of vat hit put me of Chinese sellers.Took a punt on Ebay UK seller,a £115.99 bid excepted on Friday morning for a gold one.
Royal Mail site entered tracking number and states waiting arrival to them at 9 am yesterday,so fingers crossed should be here by Thursday.
So with the price at the moment £113.81 on Focalprice can not see the benifit of buying there,what if its faulty etc.
Hi,
why not buy it in the manufacturers shop?
I bought my phone @ "elephone DOT hk" (sorry, I am not allowed to post a link here as a fairly new user) and didn't have any problem except the price was a bit higher but no problems with delivery etc.

Thanks for replying. Can I ask the name of your eBay seller? I'm tempted by the gold metal and then buying a black battery cover off AliExpress to tone down the carbon fibre effect!

I've seen this link before: http://www.elephone.hk/online.htm
Due to the numerous links, I personally found it a bit hard to differentiate between authorised resellers, third-parties and the 'official' store.
Hi,
not 100% sure that this is the official store, but from my research it looked good and as I have received my phone I guess they aren't bad
Have a look at Dealsmachine.com. Just got mine from them. Took just one week from ordering to receive in Canada via DHL and their customs valuation was very positive in my favour !

The carbon fibre effect is actually really nice! The black cover is probably more grey but it would soften the look a bit
Well I've now cancelled my Umi Iron Pro pre-order - can anyone recommend a UK-based eBay seller?
I've used Geekbuying (based in China) on a number of occasions to purchase phones and tablets. In each case the process has been hassle free with the goods despatched around a week from the order point (assuming in stock). I'm also in UK and like the fact that the small delay in despatch is because this retailer checks the item works and configured it for the UK before sending the item out. I've always used the very cheap DHL option which means once despatched the item is with me within 3 days with full tracking on route.
I don't have any links to this company but have found them reliable.

I used Everbuying.net. I ordered in August and the phone only arrived in October, so it was at least 2 months wait. I assume they have stock now, as the phone went on special not long ago.
As mentioned above I used Everbuying with no problems and fast delivery. Just did a quick check and is on sale for less than 100.00 GBP - $149.99 US which is what I paid. Fast dispatch on gold (3-5 days) but longer on other colours (4-10 days). I assume they got a decent sized shipment and are now blowing it out. I was a little leery of them but have no complaints at all and my import cost was about 8% including DHL brokerage fee even though we have 12% tax so that gives an idea of how they valued it for customs purposes.

Thanks - I bought the grey model yesterday from their sister seller (same contact details plus also listed in Hayes) and they've emailed me this morning to say the grey is out of stock and can only offer the gold!
I've accepted the gold but would quite like a free case or something to make up for it! I do wonder if I've just been extremely unlucky so far...

The grey ones are damn nice but my partner wanted gold and have ordered the gold clock cover from Banggood.
If getting a silicon case it would hardly be noticable but then you lose the lovely look, but then you could buy a grey cover to replace the gold one.
Just checked on Elephone site and grey one for P7000 is £8.56 so P8000 one should be available soon?
Gearbest was great with me, and a friend of mine also bought one from Gearbest which arrived successfully. They had some stock issues initially but were honest about it, and my patience paid off. They usually dispatch from China after 5 days and send it through Express postage. From dispatch, it arrived within 7 days by courier. I paid $159.99 (£109 at the time), and after two months with the device, its fantastic and was worth the wait - the stock ROM was perfectly usable with a few bugs, but the Eragon ROM has completely sorted these. Knowing what I know now, ensuring a strong developer community should be a very high priority when buying a china phone.

I have just bought from an eBay seller and told the same thing, no grey, only gold. Ordered Wednesday morning, expected delivery today (hopefully).

Got a message this morning to say it's been dispatched with a Royal Mail tracking number but it's not showing on their system yet.
There's obviously a massive supply problem with the grey model and it wouldn't surprise me if these 3rd party sellers are expecting new deliveries of stock from Elephone that just keep on getting delayed?
I paid £110 and have been promised a £3(!) refund to cover the inconvenience
I'm considering buying the black battery cover though:

Black and gold might be a good look after all...

I think the gold looks decent. It's for the wife who is going to slap a purple silicone TPU on it anyway! If she complains then she can have the grey cover from my p8000!
Does anyone know where to buy the Asus Mobile Dock DK01? Or even the DA01?
All I can find are third party chinese ripoff docks, I can't find the official dock anywhere. It is listed on Asus' website, but there's no purchase option (and would probably be overpriced directly from Asus even if there was). Can't find on Amazon, eBay or Google Shopping.
Is this vaporware?
I found a seller in Estonia. I used a credit card just in case, but it came and works perfectly. Cost was about $40.

Link? Would like to get my hands on one as well.
My invoice says Nordic Digital AS, but I think it's was AIO: https://aio.lv/en/laptops-tablets-c...-z300-series-keyboard-language-english:227706
It says not available to order.
Do a search on this ID number: 4712900569582
There was one for sale in the UK when I looked.
I paid 19.16 euros plus 14.99 euros shipping (in October 2017), but I think I got a great deal. Those I see now are a lot higher.
Asus still lists it on its site, but it is strange that it's so hard to find.
I'm listing mine on ebay.
