Eh...OK now I'm
I knew there were 2 versions, at least, in silver and another in black. But that picture shows a hybrid of the two.

Or is that a 3rd color variant? looks more black/blue than black/silver.
Edit: it say in the description gray/black (translated)
It's about £30 more to what I'm paying here in the UK. Wonder what's their shipping cost to the UK?

Yes I ordered the UK (English) variant. I am not sure if they will ship to the US. You may call their line listed on the site and check.
I am in Netherland and it comes with free shipping throught Nederland. I am picking it up at their shop in Rotterdam tomorrow

They say that it's the black variant (that the overall color is black, but that the touch pad is silver). But still, people aren't sure that there's even a black and a silver variant...
I hope so, since I'm hoping for the black one

there is a thread about where you can get the touch cruise in the netherlands... It's a list with prices And shippingcosts.

PDAShop has dropped their price!
Just got a call from them. They have dropped their price Down by 30 Euros to 569

This i just to let you know that there is stock at this particular shop. There are several webshops that are expecting stock, but we want the product NOW

I emailed them and got a reply that they don't deliver to the UK.

Can't wait to recieve mine

You must be enjoying your new toy since you haven't been around much
The annoying thing is that they STILL have stock but won't deliver to the UK. Believe it or not, I even looked for a day return flight with no joy (holidays + fog f-ing great).
Just tell me it's worth the wait, please.

Where to buy?!

Hi guys! I did not know where to ask this question, so I turned on here may be some of you have an experience. I am planning to buy a Nexus 5 to replace my Nexus 4. Tis should be a pretty cheap phone now since 2 years has passed from its release. I live in Canada and I was planning to buy one from ebay. They ship from Hong Kong and looks like it is new. For example this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LG-Google-Ne...319349?hash=item3396062d75:g:kB0AAOSw3ydVyHn4
Now my question is am I going to be charged with extra fees (like duty and taxes)? Anybody has any experience buying new phones from ebay shipped from china?
P.S. I am open to any suggestion for a new phone!
P.S.2. Sorry if the question is not really related to the forum, I just did not have anywhere else to ask it.

that ebay posting is over priced. you can get a 32 gb for cheaper than that now. my advice is keep looking on ebay, slickdeals, adnroid central, swappa for a good deal.
and you'll find one in no time.

Thanks drago10029! I will. Still do you know if I am going to be charged if I buy a new item from ebay (or any other site)?

It depends on shipper's declared value as to whether you are charged duties and taxes.
No mention of warranty on the listing.

Thanks. I contacted the seller. They said they offer 3 months exchange warranty and 1 year of repair.

I just bought a red 32gb from expansys. Will be delivered tomorrow. I'll post back about if it's in a factory box or anything else. I hope they're not trying to pass off refurbs as new.

I hope so. With the Canadian currency though, I think it is expensive for me. And i am not sure if they ship to canada. And if they do they would probably charge for taxes and other fees too!

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks

There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)

I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!

Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.

Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339

The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

Refurbished

Hey everyone.
So I was out looking for phones and I found a guy in delhi selling refurbished phones. They have a website, three branches as per say.
So I got myself a deal for one plus 6 in around 18k.
6gb,128gb version.
I am currently on Rei Note 5 Pro and thinking of making the change.
All I need is a little reponse if I should go ahead ?
I have paid 500 as booking fees, site seems legit. The guy seems legit so far.
He will give me the tracking Id tomorrow and the rest amount is COD.
What do you guys think of it ?
The device comes with 1 year warranty and 1 week replacement/ return.

Feels sketchy , seeking a 34 k mobile for 18 k May be the screen or some other internals may have been replaced. Also what type of warranty is he providing seller or company warranty and in India we have had enough tube getting warranty service from known brands it is risky to trust seller warranties

Looks like scam to me
Why would anyone sell a phone for 18k when it can easily fetch 30-35k INR?

Remember, If something seems too go to be true. It is most likely a scam of some kind. Don't waste your hard earned money on something fishy as this!

I dunno man. It seems good by the name of it.
My product is already been shipped.
I totally bonged the guy, asking him several questions.
He said these are custom duty free refurbished handsets. Sometimes unboxed.
People return or replace them frequently it seems.
Anyways, he is assuring me, he said i can live video call him while unboxing. I mean that counts for something I guess.
I will make a video of unboxing though.
Well lets hope for the best then.

So after my repeated attempts to get an ID from the guy made me cancel the order.
The guy , Mithlesh Sharma, employee of the website company or so he told me.
He sent me an Adhaar Card of some person he said was his boss.
I mean he couldn't send his own but apparently all employees have the boss's adhaar card.
plus it was all sketchy from the start..and with all the frauds goin on..i backed out.
as soon as I told him I will not be receiving the parcel as he failed to present a proof. He blocked me and did not respond on call.
moreover if you check olx, now i see these fake ads more than actual ones.
i mean a guy has posted ads in chandigarh, lucknow and delhi at the same time. Cash on delivery..buff..
I mean what if the box had just glass or bricks or soap inside. I choose to believe nobody would;ve listened then.
17k is a good amount.

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.

They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model

I've just bought from liaow.com and got it gets here in under a week. I'll give my impression. I got the green pro. If not I told him any colour will do

I told them to keep that box sealed and unopened. If they dropped it accidentally you know they'd still send it to you lol
And I can install Google myself

almost pulled the trigger with that website listed. The guy Mike has good feedback on another forum. Then i saw this. International release may be cheaper than what was announced.

I'm going to TRY and hold off for a little bit to see how things go but I like that unopened and sealed approach.

I couldn't be patient. Price won't drop much, look at the mate 20x 5, old phone, just cause it is 5g so what, expensive as hell.
With all their Google woes they're still coming out with high price phones. Ridiculous

I'm on att and as far as I know only developers and business class get access to 5g so there's no point in that aspect for me. Maybe once there's something worthy of upgrading to after this one
