So after almos 2 years im looking to change my htc incredible, because it feels old and slow compared with recent phones, and my carrier is offering both CMDA and GSM (i feel more comfortable with gsm) and i've always been a fan of qwerty phones,and seeing that HTC isnt going to release an android qwerty phone anytime soon, i checked the specs of the captivate glide and realise that its is really impressive better than the droid 3, cheaper than the droid 4.
im almost convinced to buy it, but before that i would like to clarify two things, one i really would like advice from regular and power users here at xda pros and cons, if it is worth it, or if should i save some extra money to buy the droid 4 (hate motoblur and there's no networks offering LTE on my country.) and the other thing is if anyone knows a reliable place where i can buy it online im from mexico, i have no problems with an glide with the at&t brand, but i've also read that the "rogers" glide doesnt have any brand. but i really dont know where to buy it.
i checked this site (www.negrielectronics.com)and they have it listed but i dont know if its realiable.
any help would be apreciated.
There's one for sale in the Marketplace here on XDA, I believe. You could start there. I upgraded from a T-Mobile G2 and haven't looked back since. The more we get out there, the better. CarpeNoctem has put out a great little ROM for it (OsiMood) and that paired with the Cranium Kernel and Go Launcher has really got me going! I can't make an honest recommendation comparing to Droids, as my only experience with them has been futzing with one of my client's original Droid and his new Droid3, haven't really gotten any regular use time with them...
One further thing, I would check which CDMA and GSM bands your carrier is offering, I believe if I recall correctly that the i927 does not support T-Mobile's 3G band, so you'd be stuck with EDGE for 3G, which is significantly slower...
Good luck, and I hope you love your new phone as much as I love mine

I think its better than Droid 3..
Haven't tried Droid 4..
If facebranding is not a problem, you can go for at&t model as you can get it cheaper than Rogers..
One of my friend had got a phone through Negri electronics.. So far it is the only site I have come across which ships to almost all the countries..
Also try Ebay.. I got mine for 400$ in an auction.. + additional shipping, duty and unlocking charges..

Sorry, meant to say something about this in my above post - Negri spams the hell out of Craigslist, at least local to me, I wouldn't buy from them for just this reason. If you can't find one here on the XDA Marketplace, I recommend Swappa or Amazon (though you'd probably end up paying more at either of those)

thanx for the answers, yeah i said negri becasue its ships everywhere but i trust more on amazon but the thing with amazon its that they dont ship electronics oustide the US (or at least cellphones).
Regarding the bands used by my carrier, AFAIK all carriers in mexico use 850 for GSM and hdspa+ with the exception of one that besides 850 they also use 1900 and if remember correctly both frequencies are available on the glide.
and i would like to know how does the phone feels, average battery life, etc, im really interested in buying one..

The phone feels great in my hands, just the perfect size and I have a SGS II which feels too big in comparison, it is comfortable with the keyboard slides out as well. The battery life is the best I've encountered of any android phone so far.
Any other suggestion?
I tried:
negrielectronics.com (unlocked, out of stock for now)
mobicity (unlocked, out of stock for now)
canadagsm.com (unlocked)
amazon (locked)
ebay (locked and unlocked, but a bit expensive)
Can somebody provide any other supplier selling this phone? Already unlocked phones would be a very appreciated plus..
Thanks

+1, i've been hunting this phone for a month already with no luck, anyone with a good site that ships the phone internationally (to mexico) and unlocked would be awesome.

So, have you been checking the aforementioned websites all this time?
Negrielectronics wrote me that they can't estimate the backorder time and they invited me to check their website daily. does it mean that the backorder waiting time has been going on for (at least) one month?
Thats right, ive been checking negri almost every day for about a month and they havent re stock it. To bad cuz i really would like yo buy a captivate glide.

Too bad.
Just to add: rogers.com sells this phone, by the name of Samsung Galaxy S Glide.
Still need to be unlocked, but rogers.com should be more trustworthy than canadagsm.
I also wrote an email to canadagsm, just to ask a couple of questions. Waiting
Update:
canadagsm.ca deals only with unlocked phones. That's great.
Still i don't know if it is a trustworthy supplier or not. Their prices are beaten only by negrielectronics, so they're quite good.
But i don't know if I can trust them. Anyway, they accept Paypal.
I bought mine unlocked from Amazon Wireless, it's being forwarded from the US to the United Arab Emirates with ShopandShip.com.
Well, I ended up buying it on Amazon.
Hope everything will go fine.
I'll give you updates.

I'm from Italy.
I'll have it shipped to an import/export company that is located in Florida. They'll ship it to me.
Their name is consegnato.com and they offer the service for Italy (shipping and enregistering under europen laws).
Well I got the phone, really liking the build quality and performance, which is no different to a Galaxy S II
Now the challenging part, it's asking for a network code. I bought this unlocked and was not expecting this. I've contacted Amazon Wireless, lets see what they say.
I've had the same problems as you guys, www.negrielectronics.com, it's in fact a reliable site, but they are, like you said before, out of stock, www.canadagsm.com, in fact, have the Galaxy S Glide, Unlocked, tried to order, but have some problems, because, like sbiricuda, I've send my phones to a Courrier in Florida, that send the package to Chile, from where my partner picks it up, and bring it to Argentina for me. And, the guys over www.canadagsm.com, told me that they only send to the same address of your PayPal account, so, I just couldn't close the deal.
Ended up buying it to cellularworld2008 on www.ebay.ca.
Amazon Wireless rep. replied, they said I can return the phone for a full refund or call AT&T to get the unlock code. Looks like I'll have to unlock it myself!
Amazon Wireless has now changed "Unlocked" to "Upgrade" when you buy that phone full price.
*sigh*
I bought a Locked phone, so I was aware that I have to unlock it after reception when I did it.
I know that it is annoying but I suggest to get an unlock code from americanunlocker or cellunlocker. It looks cheaper than sending the phone back or calling AT&T from your country. If you do, please share your experience with them!
Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!
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 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.

Power saving mode should be off........ It's working... Thanks to dt33
In particular, anywhere in London? Three stores do not have that in stock in any store (I've called most of them). Is it possible there isn't an actual shop where you can purchase it from?
And what would be the right price to pay? On Amazon UK you can buy it at /Lenovo-P2-Smartphone-Battery-Dual-SIM/dp/B01MFBOXXT (can't post full url unfortunately) for £320, and that is the 32gb version apparently (by looking at the 1 star reviews).
Any advice please?
Thanks
Can't you just order it online from Three? I got mine for £200 from them.
Three sell the 32GB storage 4GB RAM version for £199 unlocked with a £10 pay as you go SIM.

Its been out of stock at all 3 stores for over a couple of months ive tried at lots of places to buy a second one for a friend. the 3gb variant they are selling on amazon and ebay are a different model version and they are ripping people off selling it for £300 or even more.. And today at a 3 shop locally the manager told me they have now discontinued the p2.
Hard to find now. The price was too good at £200. It's been out of stock for ages. I ended buying up buying it on ebay. Got the 64 GB (p2c72) variant for £270.

Ok, so I need a Phone before the 15th since I'm going to holiday. Looks like this phone is literally a ghost. My main requisite is a non-ridiculous battery life. I can see that the Moto Z Play could be a candidate then? And if that the case, again, where can I find it in London? Any suggestions please?

Confirmed that Three have discontinued it: https://twitter.com/ThreeUKSupport/status/884442227703001088
Mine died recently and looking to replace, you can buy it from Amazon Germany, France and Italy - but it's around £270 for a p2a42. At £200 it was a no brainer, but thinking now I may wait for snapdragon 630/660 phones.

Great, I waited 3 weeks for it to be back in stock and then Three support told me it was discontinued, so I ordered one with a broken screen (the guy dropped it straight after opening it, everything is still in the box) off ebay with a case for £109 and ordered a new screen from china for £88 with the tools to install it. And now they get it back in stock. ****ing grade-A support from Three.

Damn, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a learning opportunity on how to fix/replace the screen. If it goes well, you could even sell it for a slightly lower price as used. Then buy a new one (to get the warranty).
when you choose tariff plan it says out of stock ...
The weird thing is that I have been checking the three site for stock over the last week and on Friday night it accepted an order for the P2 on PYG.
Just got to see if it turns up now...
I have spoken to three on the phone (~ 1 week ago) and they said they aren't expecting any more stock. They told my insurance company the same. Don't know if that is just the operator telling me that though.
You can get a p2a42 from amazon Germany for £270 though, which is what I did.
does any website still selling Mate 20 X - 8/256G 4G version... ??
please let me know the link...
Networks here in the UK only have the 5G model in stock.
The 4G can be found on eBay but most are pre-owned. The few brand new ones are very expensive, they cost more than the 5G model. I spent a long time looking for a reasonably priced new 4G but couldn't find one.
I've just received my 5G yesterday and I'm really pleased with it so far.

thank you, maybe 5G version is the last hope... if 4G isn't available anymore.. I am not satisfied with Aliexpress... could see lots of complaints and the Vendor is not responding to messages.
let me dig eBay for some time if the vendor responds... I will try to salvage any new item left out there...

Thanks, need 8gig/256gb version...
@SivasankarC
You're welcome, I hope you have success getting a good deal on the model you settle on. What country are you in?
Mine is the 8 / 256GB 5G version, that's the only model the UK networks have now, the 4G is a much earlier release.
I did a lot of researching over the last few weeks trying to get the 4G, but of the few brand new ones I saw the cash price was way too high.
There's no way I'd invest a big chunk of my cash in a phone from outside the UK, if there were any subsequent faults I'd imagine I'd be pretty much screwed regarding the vendor sorting it out. So I never bothered looking at Aliexpress or international sellers on eBay. You saying the vendor isn't replying to your messages is a typical scenario I'd rather not be in.
Initially I preferred the 4G above the 5G, mostly because of the larger battery, but I believe the smaller 4200mAh should still see me through a typical day's use.
And whatever model you get I'm sure you will be impressed with the big screen, it really is awesome!
I'm in exactly same situation. Really want the 4g version but can't find it anywhere. Except eBay used items. I should have bought it on Amazon when I had the chance 6 months ago....ahhh.
the only what i found Available Soon

Whats wrong with used?
Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not very keen on used. Simply because I would rather a new device with 100 percent battery health. I plan on using this one long term. At least 2 years.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered one from a third party Amazon seller. Looks new. Got it for £499. Looks like it was the last one too as no more available now. Should be with me in few days. Can't wait!
Huawei discontinued the 4G model long time ago around time the 5G model released.
I really love this 4G model and want to get another one as backup.
If huawei released the 4g model in 2018 then a 5g model in 2019 hopefully theyll release an updated version for 2021, fingers crossed. Its possible that the black shark 3 pro is enuf to attract the attention of huawei to compel it to make a 2021 model as an answer to that competition with same screen proportions as its previous models. Again fingers crossed.
Just got my brand new 4g model today. Factory sealed. Very impressed so far. Typing this on my new 20x! It is a monster. Two handed phone for sure. Gonna be putting it through its paces next few days.
