I stumbled over this site: www.ecplaza.net (they're chinese)
the prices are crazy !
for example: HTC X7510 for 325$ or HTC touch HD for 370$...
is this for real ? can you count on them to get an original working piece ?
anybody ever deal with these guys ?

And there's your answer right there.
Original working piece?
The only thing you can count on them is to get a very nice useless device which isn't HTC or anything else
Not original... beware
um, i would say... No.
Just go on ebay, thats already very cheap.
these are usually known to be big SCAMS...beware!
nir36, in this sticky, explains that essentially it's better to buy a more expensive whatever when you know it will work and know that you're getting exactly what you paid for rather than buying uncertainly from unreputable dealers, only to get scammed and buy the more expensive on and the cheaper one.
So my advice, buy from somebody who doesn't have the words MEGA CHEAP SUPER DEVICEZ in it's domain name, or in this case, don't buy an unreasonably cheap device from a country that's known for its knockoffs.

I bought a Ipod from japan,
It had some weird firmware....
Stick with USA if you want a nice electronic
thanks for your feedback guys ! BUT... does anybody have actual experience with stories like this ?
hi i live in the UK have been looking for a tablet and this one seems the best choice having good specs and a very active community always a bonus but i was wondering does anyone here live in the UK with one or will i have to be importing to get one? any help would be greatly appreciated[=
Buying in the UK
Hi
I purchased one of these on ebay.com and had it shipped to here. Unfortunately I ended up having to pay £50 vat at customs. I have seen them in Amazon but they havr been priced at around £450. Including the VAT I had to pay it still worked out at about £270. I only received the tablet yesterday, and the first thing I did was to flash the rom to TNT lite. Love this machine and it works so smoothly. Hope this is of some help

I live in Germany and ordered via borderlinx... Worked out fine, I was able to participate from low price from electronic express, who only ship within States. Make sure you search for some coupon code
Have you thought about the advent vega tablet? It is pretty similar if not the same HW as the g tab. Dont' know about the details, but maybe some investigating pays of... probably people ins this great forum know mpre about it )
Good luck!
If I lived in the UK I'd just get the advent vega.

Yep. Looks like pcworld has the vega back in stock... just get one. Its easier..
I got mine to Portugal cause a friend brought it to me.. else would try get a vega
thanks guys for your help[= been looking around and seemingly people are getting these g tablet roms to work on the vega which was my main worry in buying it[= thanks for all your help[=
I bought it on Ebay and it took about two weeks. One reason I bought it was because the support for g-tablet seemed to be much more than for the advent vega. Another important reason was that advent vega ran out of stock!! Both are good I think.
Hi, still hunting around for somewhere to get an Infinity from and I may have found a place. Stumbled across this Lola Electronics place in the UK and was wondering weather they are trustworthy? They seem to have very cheap prices so there is an element of dodgyness with them. They have a massive long phone number and a gmail instead of something fancy. If its dodgy, which I suspect it is, are there any other places I people know of and is it ok to import say a UK model to AU with things like firmware and that?
Thanks,
Also found http://www.adorama.com/ which seem to ship to Australia, but once again, not sure weather to trust these online and foreign sites.

B&H Photo Video also ships out of the US, and is 100% legit. My one gripe with them is that they don't pack for shipment very well. This has happened on more than one occasion, the most recent being the TF700T. The exterior shipping box has a pretty large crushed corner (blame UPS here), but the interior ASUS bax also had the corner pushed in. Better packing could have prevented that; and as I said, this is not the first time.

Giday matey
Hope melbourne is not keeping you indoors this winter - Indeal time to have a Tablet like Infinity to PLAY WITH !!!
UK models = European ones - which will have lots of issue eg POWER CHARGER etc ...so I would settle for ones made for USA market
.... and its lots easier to setup since its already ENGLISH = as default ! <<<I have had major issues with Transfomer TF201 series from Europe>>> not to mention warranty if **** goes south !
Now I got this SHINNY BEAST !!! (deleivered from US in weeks via FEDEX - safe quick and easy peezee not to mention ..NO TAX , no Deleiverey charges ... blah blah) am most impressed
So seach - eRetailer/*bay site for pple who will SHIP to Aust for free .......... rimes with some JUNGLE in Sth america
Hope this helps
Cheers
Thanks both for the replies! and yeah, its pretty cold down here in Melbourne, rarely getting above 15C and going down to nearly 0C which is pretty cold for us. I still need to know if I can have the refund on my Prime which was sent back for the screen clicking in and out of place, similar to the Nexus 7. If I can, then I am gonna really look around the US. A good Aussie $ means I can save a bit more. At least with the Infinity it isn't much of a risk as the Prime to ship it from overseas for warranty reasons, dont think i will need a warranty too much with the Infinity.

If you're referring to Amazon, they don't ship to Australia.
Found one on eBay from BuySPRY, shipping is USPS for only around $50 with tacking and a decent reputation.
If i did have to RMA though, I could go to a service centre in Australia right?
To be honest, I am not that annoyed with the IO problem, I had it on the Prime, and delt with it. If I get this and it sucks, I will actually buy an iPad. But I doubt it will. I am gonna try and chat to ASUS tomorrow about a refund or a replacement for with an Infinity.

Problem is... most of the programs that cause the I/O issues on the infinity are not even available on the ipad without a jailbreak.
Or I might actually invest in a decent smartphone. But still, I would love for the Infinity to be able to pan out well.
Spoke to ASUS again about the whereabouts of my Prime, its still in Sydney. The DOA assessment was supposed to be a month ago but since they accidentally sent it to the repair centre, its only happening now. But hopefully, it will come back, I will be able to refund it and get an Infinity from one of these places!
Hey guys, is it possible to import a single Relay 4G without the tax? (its 44$ for US to Poland ;/ )
EDIT:
Btw, is it very different to flash a rom on relay than it is on xperias ?
Any intructions?

Ask the seller to ship it as a gift item or promotional item. This generally cancels the levied tax.. Not sure if it applies in your country though.. :silly:
Also, yes it's different. You use odin here or you can flash via recovery.. The forums have all the relevant information required..
I'd suggest Liquid Smooth, it's very smooth and customizable..
Yeah i downloaded everything required.
I just need to find a guide.
The seller told me that the tax is unavoidable ;/ i'll live with it though Paid 300$ for my Xperia Pro, i can surely pay 250 for Relay
Wish me luck with the shipping

All The Best!!:good::good:
I'd like to ask someone from U.S. to help me get a Relay 4G from eBay.
I found out that if someone buys from the guy on eBay (the one i want) and then sends it to me as a gift, then I'd be able to pay around 40$ less.
If there's anybody that could help me, I'd really appreciate it.
We could set the terms through pm (I'm down with securing the trade via eBay).
I hope there's someone rich with a lot of time that can help me

I'm selling my Relay if anyone is interested.
PM me
I recently went to the US and bought a Relay from eBay for 99$. When you go there in person, no taxes need to be paid.
But I bought the first Relay some time ago also from eBay, and their GSP (global selling program) is really good. Especially because they tell you in advance how much shipping AND taxes you have to pay, and I had not only this but some other stuff as well shipped to me and I never had to go anywhere to pick it up and never had to pay anything additional. So for buying to the EU at least I can very much recommend it.
You'll recognize GSP items if it says something like "includes customs clearance and international shipping with package tracking" (in your language) and they give you an estimate of the taxes and shipping on the eBay item page.
And in my experience, declaring items as gift does exactly nothing, because it doesn't matter - you're bringing goods into the country and you have to pay taxes for it, no matter whether it's a gift or not. And finally, according to http://www.dutycalculator.com/country-guides/Import-duty-taxes-when-importing-into-Poland/ you don't have to pay anything if the total value is below 150 EUR - which should be enough to get a used Relay 4G.
Stefan
I see.
Regarding the 150 EUR limit, a new relay costs ~190 $, that's like 140 EUR, but the seller still includes the tax... why's that?
Just bought one unit from ebay for 222$ with import and delivery charges.
Hope it comes in one piece
UPDATE:
Package already in Poland, any day now
Just got it it's great, but wifi doesnt work.
I mean it finds some networks but not mine, can anyone help?
EDIT: Had to reset my router setting, work fine now
Do the ROMs on XDA support Polish language on keyboard and menu?

Great
I actually have the Polish keyboard working right now, but it's on CM11, which has performance problems for me ;/
I'd really like to get cm 10.2 (or whatever the lastest Jelly Bean is) with Polish word correction support.
I made an attempt to copy the keyboard files from CM11 to CM10.2 zip file, and the keyboard worked fine, but the launcher would crash quite a bit ;/
Could you let me know about any threads regarding Polish keyboard support?

So this is the only way I think of how to get this out there. Maybe some of or all of you may know, the Huawei P8 Max in titanium grey is extremely hard to find. Amazon.es just got it in stock, but they dont ship to the US, believe me I have tried. So im reach out to all of you in the community to assist me with this purchase. I really want to get my hands on one of these, but I really dont know how. So, if anyone here in the community lives in Spain or somewhere in Europe, I would be willing to pay you a fair price if you can get me the phone. Maybe you have ebay and can buy the phone and then resale it to me, or maybe you have some other way of getting it. whoever is up for it please send me a message and we can discuss everything. I hope someone here can help me.
Any help yet and does the gray version have US lte bands?

That's the one I plan on buying. Hopefully it's the white front with silver sides and back like the pictures down the page and not the gold looking sides and back, meh.
Recap, don't buy from gizok, they don't have it in stock despite what their website says. I had to have them refund me.
Try this link, I just bought from here:
