I hate to tell you dude, but that place looks as fishy as an aquarium, next time stick to the known outlets like expansys, if they aint got it in stock it's not out yet !

And i used my credit card...how can i find out now whats happening? Also there was an auction at ebay where i got it from and the seller had 100 % positive feedback....

I would call my bank and cancel the transaction immediately.
This website looks very unprofessional. In case you ever make such a risky purchase again, first ask the seller for an authentic picture of the item. Such as a photo of the item next to his business card etc. This way you know at least he has the item.

...and nowadays eBay is more fishy than the Pacific. Stay away from eBay as much as you can. Especially do not buy something from eBay, if the eBay price is way lower than the real world price.

ebay is fine - just as long as you are sensible and *think* about what you are doing. I've done 100s of sales and purchases without a problem.
You get suckered when you act like a sucker.

Frankly, I think you've been done. Get onto your bank and try and stop the payment.

Anyone can create all that in photoshop and even add in a pic of his/her self shaking hands with HTC's CEO just for s-n-g's. Add that he keeps all his ebay feedback private so nobody can research him ... scamming dirtbag alert for sure there. Maybe he's ligit but his methods are not transparent enough for me.
Bottom line do not buy from sites thrown up just to sell one item cuz they're 99% a scam.

Scam!

This means no paypal buyer protection, so once they have your money they have your money!

how sad is this, my guess is youve lost your 900 dollars. which is a shame..
no paypal usually means scam, especially on something which you cant get anyways...

I agree that such a photo can easily be arranged. But it adds a simple layer of protection and is better than simply throwing away your money to the first seller you find on the internet. But, yes, I wouldn't buy a phone from this website even if he provided a photo of himself shaking hands with the CEO of HTC.

Meeehhhh you sent $900 to this guy (from his myspace page) ...

Doesnt look too friendly.

This is a scam 100%
Oh please.
#1. The website is cheap. Photoshoped the diamond phone picture, and the webpage looks un-professional , etc. My "red flag" went up immediately.
#2. Looking at the feedback from ebay's. You can spot fakers posted these feed back. Even Ray Charles could see that.
Sorry to hear that someone fell for it. This is a lesson that we learned and hopefully, we will be wiser the next time.

What you should do to avoid others been scammed by this guy
- Notify the hosting provider and authorities that illegal actions are being done via that website
- Notify eBay to investigate his account, cause you can clearly see the fake posts in there

Hey thanks for the who.is website. That is very important that we do this and check out the BBB for other businesses before making any online purchases.

That mug shot would be a blast to play with on photoshop, but I'm far far far away from my office comp -n- don't have cs3 on my lapy.
Someone please do the honers to that pic' ... he's screaming for a makeover. Maybe then we could post it in his myspace somehow or another.

Expansys USA confirms Octa.

As per title.... I asked Expansys USA to confirm which variant they would be selling and the office manager (Caroline Philipchuck) checked with their procurement and confirmed that the units are sourced from South America and are the Octa without LTE. Again, without LTE despite what it says on their website.

Release date?

I don't have LTE in my area and wont for years so I preordered this hoping it would be the Octa as stated. This morning I got an email saying they were shipping next week and to confirm my order for immedieate shipment. Thats when I contacted them to confirm which variant. Whether it actually ships then, got no idea.

I've just ordered mine after they confirmed (by chat) it has Exynos 5 Octa.
I'm from Europe and they use FR office to serve european customers, They will receive it in USA office next week so i think it will be shipped between 5/10 days.

I'm from the UK so will I be able to purchase it from the US site? And will it charge me import fee?

well negrielectronics also has the Exysnos 5 octa on preorder but it will cost you around 1000$.

NewEgg get's most of their devices from Trinidad so they'll be Octa/HSPA too.

The current status says due May 4th

Here's a helpful hint about Expansys. Their online inventory isn't real time and fluctuates madly as do the availability and shipment dates. They only work business hours Monday through Friday and aren't particularly responsive to e-mails depending on the time of day they are received. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them and they've always been reliable (dates and time aside) and easy to work with as I had a couple of returns/exchanges. So save yourself a lot of head banging based on expected delivery; you'll get what you ordered but it's not always going to be on the timetable indicated.

Agree with Barry on them and have ordered there numberous times myself. Best to ignore their online status for anything and simply call or email. Once contact has been made they have always followed through for me. At first I thought they were kind of sketchy but they have an odd knack for pulling through despite the somewhat irregular service.

$775 though.....yeesh.

The one yuo linked to is the LTA version..
Not sure what LTA is...
But the regular non-LTA, non-LTE Exynos version is priced a quite bit cheaper ~$800

Not sure what LTA stands for, maybe LTE but in a different language? lol.

I dont know why people must have the octa version. The differences in performance is not that big. And neither is the battery. Games peforms better in snapdragon chispet and In daily use of both two phones, you wont see the difference at all. What important is the LTE and dev support. Believe me, i have a s3, the dev there pull their hair off when they try to develop roms for the s3.
And trust me, you dont want to have the octa chipset, in view of dev support. All the experienced exynos developers will not support the chipset anymore. It take 2 week to develop a good aosp rom for sony experia z and it take 16! month to develop the same thing for samsung s3, and it still buggy.
So why would you still buy the exynos chipset phone?
Sorry for my bad english btw

Dont care about the performance as phones have reached a level of performance that fully satisfies me, I'm in it for the batt life. No insult to the gents working on ASOP for whom I have nothing but props but I prefer touchwiz based roms for the time being meaning support isn't a concern for me. Nor do I care about LTE since my area isn't even on my carriers road map yet. I get a new phone at the most annually but ususally sooner so I'm going to try out the Octa and see how it goes. If the better battery plays out great, if not the next thing is always coming and the Octa becomes one more phone in a long succession phones that have gone on to their next owner. The long and the short of it is I lose nothing by giving the Octa a spin so I'm going to do just that.

definitely will not buy from Negr* anymore. Recall my painful exp last yr with S3

So basically if I was to order from Expansys USA it may take awhile to get my order but they don't rip anyone off? I don't mind waiting as there already is Exynos shortage, I just don't want to be out $775. Thank you for posting your experience with them.

It's a legit website. You don't have to worry about getting ripped off. Pay with a credit card. OR pay through PayPal route that through a credit card.

They are absolutely fine, before and after the sale. When new devices come out their slammed because they can show availability when they don't have any and people get frustrated with the delay(s). I've never heard anyone complain that they didn't get what they ordered (at some point) or that they in any way felt ripped-off. I'd suggest calling rather than e-mailing though if you need them because at times they can be slow to respond. Like I said before I've had to do some returns and exchanges and they were really accommodating.

Until they change the price, try to send you something else, say a release date before anyone else on the planet and then when unsurprisingly the stock doesn't arrive in time tell lies. Search Negri on the sgs3 forum if you want to read a story about how to make certain a whole bunch of people will never order from then again.

Ehhhh. No sorry that's a bit much. Still amounts to 615€ which is overpriced.
I think I'll have to wait to get this device at reasonable price... (Still tempting)

Ahh yes, unfortunately not that good of a deal if you live outside of the US since the shipping is only FREE if you live here.
Still $150 cheaper than Negri Electronics, the only other place that is shipping them now....

This is how they make money by boosting the shipping cost. I live in China I know how much they pay the phone and I know how much it cost to ship a phone. I shipped a guitar for 40$ in Montreal from Shanghai so 99$ for a phone makes no sense.

They are local to me. I wonder how much if i picked it up and pay cash.
Will I get LTE on AT&T with this one?

Isnt it best to wait for a Korean version? Dont they support both lte and octa core?
I ordered a Korean phone before and it worked fine in the uk

If the Korean Version did have octacore and support LTE it would be worth waiting for, as long as it wasn't 3-4 months down the line anyway.

I was tempted to order one myself but wanted confirmation that it was the I9500 and not the Snapdragon 600 I9505. So I sent him a message early this morning. As yet - no reply !!!
This doesn't inspire confidence in buying from him even though he has a very good seller rating. Also, as you say I can only see 1 positive feedback from someone who has purchased an S4 - yet he has sold over 1000.
I was prepared to order this morning but not now. Especially after reading your message and not getting a reply to my earlier question, I'm not sure what to do.
I hope you get yours and at least you're covered by eBays Buyer Protection should anything go wrong !!! Keep us posted.

He replied to a message I sent on saturday today. All I can think is that he has so many messages he can't get through them all
I'm hoping it comes tomorrow if he holds up to his one buisness day claim

Thanks for the update.
I contacted someone who had left positive feedback for purchasing an S4. I asked whether it was a genuine Octa I9500, you never know with alot of online retailers simply copy/pasting specs, and he confirmed that it was.
He also mentioned that the packaging was in spanish/portugese or something so looks like these might have been destined for South America maybe.

I got this reply..
Dear Buyer,
Thank you for your order. We will email you the tracking details to your order once it is processed and shipped. We are working hard to get your order processed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Once your order is shipped you can follow the progress of your package online

Well, that sucks because you are paying $99 shipping for FedEx International Priority so even if they are really busy - they owe it to you to ship your order out in a timely fashion.
I have just placed my order - it's working out about the same as buying the Snapdragon 600 version here in the UK, as long you don't get it hit by Customs that is !!! Hopefully, I get by the weekend at the latest otherwise I won't be a happy bunny

Yeah i agree, still no notification of shipping!

For what it matters, I did in the end buy from this guy. It arrived today. It's a latin america destined 9500 with the Octa as advertised. The thing left the manufacturing line only about a week ago. No problems in terms of tracking or shipping (Intl is FedEx, inside of the FedEx box it was wrapped in a UPS wrapper). Btw: European users: it comes with a US-power adapter, so probably you should order a Note 2 charger to go with it (works flawlessly).

I ordered it Friday and it arrived yesterday (from across the globe!) but it missed the daily courier truck so I got it only today.
In the end it was worth it because my country apparently doesn't give a crap about adding VAT to inbound packets and didn't ask me to pay nothing in addition, so I actually paid no taxes at all on it, i.e. 537€. (Plus shipping)

Onda V919 Dual Boot .. who has it in stock ? Please Read ...

I have started this thread so people can post / reply to this thread when they find the Onda V919 Dual Boot in stock and ready to ship.
It looks like Chinese sellers are telling lies saying they have stock when they do not so you place an order with them.
I have spoken to Anna Fang from OKQI on Aliexpress today ( 19th Jan 2015 ) and she says no stock before 28th Jan 2015 but even then she is not sure stock will arrive.
If anyone finds a seller with this in stock ready to ship please post on this thread .. thank you

I just ordered directly from Onda... The dual boot 64gb version cost $252 including shipping and tax.
It did not state that it was a pre-order but it did not say when it would ship either. I paid via PayPal so hopefully I will have some protection.
Will keep you posted....

Hello,
I have ordered first on January 14th directly at Onda online shop, they couldn't provide a tracking number until Jan 22th so I claimed shipping via PayPal protection message.
I told them I don't want my money back(no refund), but I want my device shipped asap.
Directly after I have opened the PayPal dispute I received a message via mail directly from Onda, that my order is completed. And somehow in their web shop system there appeared a magical "refund"...
As answer to my PayPal dispute they told me they will provide tracking number in 2-3 days and that I should close the PayPal dispute.
I told them I will close the PayPal dispute as soon as I have received the tracking number.
A few hours after that Onda closed the dispute by themselves by giving me my money back, although I told them I do not want a refund/money back.
Now I placed a new order ... This throws me back in the waiting line, but with PayPal protection there should be no risk..... Let's wait and see, I have re-ordered on January 22th but didn't receive a tracking number for my second order yet.
Has anyone had more success?

Yes I already have seen this as his statement from Jan 16 is not really new, but cannot really believe what Onda writes there, as my order is still waiting to be processed and if you read the French text comment there I don't seem to be the only one...

It is frustrating if you tell all the possible customers on your website that you have stock and ready to send in 3-5 days, then people are ordering by PayPal and as soon as they see that Onda-tablet seems to be lying they claim their money back! People are not dumb!
This is not good for you and not good for your customers! Just be honest and transparent about stock availability and delivery times!

Question Availability?

Hi. Is this device available for purchase yet? I checked the official website but couldn't find a link to the usual resellers.
I love my Poco x3 nfc so much that I want another one just like it or even sightly better.
Thank you!
My only problem is the punch hole camera but other than that the Poco is perfect!

Excuse my diggresion, but, had you an antenna problem with your Poco x3 NFC? There were many people had it and I fear this new model will have it too.

Hi. This is a great question and I can't answer it as I've only used my Poco X3 NFC without sim card so far for developing my new script. The FM radio and wifi works just fine over here.
Could you please send me a link describing the signal problems you just mentioned? Thank you.

I'm interested in the availability and shops for Central Europe for the 8/256 GB variant: the presale with 249 instead of 299 euros should start soon (some days) and go until the begin of April.
I'm undecided if I should wait until longtime reviews, GCam and Custom ROMs are available or order right now.
According to tuttoandroid.net it should be available for preorder at the ufficial site shop, Amazon and other shops from 26th march and only be offered at the presale price until 29th march. Other sites like goboo.com say the presale is on 22-25th march (Shop Link). Amazon.it does not have it yet, on POCO site it seems possible to order only from 26th 13:00 CET (direct shop link).

Hi, thanks. I've read this thread here

It is unfortunate that the "official presale shops" (€ 199/249) seem to have differing conditions (availability, shipping time in EU, gifts):
po.co/it offered by Xiaomi Technology Netherlands B.V. HQ Xiaomi Peking, Singapore, Hongkong. 6/128 and 8/256 GB. Delivered from 29th March.
ebay.it offered by shopmi-it China Authorized Store. Shipping from EU Countries? 6/128 and 8/256 GB. Delivered from 29th March. Limited Gift earphones. Delivery 13-19th April (in ebay.de gift earphones 6/128 and Mi Band for 8/256, delivery 15-20th April).
amazon.it offered by Mi Smart Living (Uniqbe Europe SL, Madrid, ES. HQ Hongkong, Mobile Phone Wholesale). 6/128 GB model (B08YJFSHFM). Delivered from 1th April. 8/256 GB Model (B08XY81ZV2) with headphones gift, delivered from 10th April.
goboo.com offered by Goboo Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited and China. Delivery in 3-7 working days from Spain. Gift: first Mi Watch Lite and next 400 Mi True Wireless Headphones (seem already gone).
belsimpel.nl offered by MobielWerkt BV in Groningen NL. No presale yet (€ 251/301) or only with contract? EU-Shipping €4,95 some seem In-Stock 1-2 b.day delivery or 2-4 days for the others.
Not investigated: allegro (PL), mi-home.pl (PL), shopee.ph (PH), anno? (not found), cool blue (not found)

Again no headphones? What a shame.
Hey at least they give us the headphone jack! That's better than nothing.

Deleted!

This is most likely where I'll be purchasing the device from.
Not much is known about things like shipping, the only known piece of information is that the sale will start on 29th March 8:00 AM UTC with a limited discount. Lowest price - 899 PLN (~193 EUR)
More info in Polish: https://allegro.pl/premiery/xiaomi-poco-x3-pro-9g8v6gWKjSL

Check out rule 4 of the rules before someone gets your post deleted
I want to get it on Allegro because I know the exact date and time when to expect the release, so I have the best shot at ordering early. Is it known when it starts on Mi-home?

According to the photos, it will probably only be available in Poland's mi store. (At least for the early bird prices)

It is, 1.04, i think

hm, already sold out.

Looks like both mi-home and Allegro decided to start the early bird sale in the same hour. I checked Allegro first as I planned, but they were getting a few minutes late with starting the sale, so out of curiosity I checked mi-home and there they were - brown 6/128 variant and blue 8/256 variant. Tried to buy the latter but because I had to create an account, I was too late and it got sold out in a matter of minutes.
I checked back on Allegro and they showed up on there as well. Managed to grab the 8/256 model, planned shipping - 1st April. Now fingers crossed for no delays.
Seems like the 8/256 versions have been sold out very quickly compared to 6/128 versions, which still seem available for purchase almost 90 minutes after the sale began: https://allegro.pl/kategoria/xiaomi...&bmatch=cl-nbn-e2101-d3681-c3682-ele-1-2-0319

For 8/256, on mihome and allegro, it looked like it showed up "sold out" immediately after release

I've been looking at both pages right when the sale began. On mi-home, the 8/256 variant was gone within 5 minutes of the sale...
PS: According to Allegro, 350 phones were sold in the version I bought (8/256 Octa Phantom Black), idk about other color variants.
