XDA/iMate at Amazon

Especially relevant to those not in the UK or OZ: Have you noticed that Amazon.com has been getting more accessories for XDA and XDA II in recent weeks?
In fact I purchased my iMate from Amazon for $750 approx. earlier this month, (This was after the ridiculous paranoia displayed by Expansys over credit cards that don't have a USA address.)
I hope Amazon keeps doing this. I am really happy with the iMate but was beginning to despair over the availability of accessories. It seems most UK online stores don't export, and those that do have the Expansys paranoia syndrome!

Will there be a Black Friday sale?

Does anyone think this phone will go on sale for Black Friday? If so, where? Online? At AT&T stores? How much might it be discounted? With new contracts, upgrades, or no contracts? Let's get some crystal balls going

I doubt it. The discounts might probably only be on the accessories though. They released the phone too close to Black Friday...probably to avoid Black Friday deals on the Fuze.

I'm not sure one way or the other, but I'm holding off buying the Fuze until I see if there are any Black Friday deals. Let's face it, people aren't spending money these days, Circuit City is about to close it's doors; companies are doing whatever they can to get people to spend some money.
Dunno, but let's hope.

I don't know either, but I will be getting the difference if deals surface!

I picked up a Fuze at the AT&T Corp. store in Hickory, NC on Thursday. In the bag they put the Fuze box in was a flyer about their Black Friday Sale.
Special Hours & Special Offers - 7am to 10pm - Come before 10am for "Door Buster" Specials.
No more specifics but I'll be checking that morning to see if the Fuze is any less than what I paid.

Letstalk.com has a deal going on right now for the FUZE. Free after $99 rebate with new 2 yr contract or $249 with 2 yr contract for upgrade.... That's the best deal available right now for the fuze considering AT&T offers it for 199 after 50 rebate.

Amazon has it for $150 so that's the best deal out there

My guys at the Millsboro Delaware, US told me the Blackberry Bold was on for B-Friday.

[Q] When will this Carphone Warehouse exclusivity end?

I don't want to have to pay £549 for this device, particularly since it's only $529 in the USA (!!). I'm guessing that Carphone Warehouse will keep the phone at this overpriced level for as long as possible though.
Has caught any mention at all of how long this exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse will last?

Carphone Warehouse is owned by Best Buy so prob exclusive to them the same amount of time it is to Best Buy. Could be a while.

Try ebay, you might find a cheaper price.

eBay is a good idea, however it seems unlikely that people will be buying from Carphone Warehouse (the only place to buy) to then sell off cheap on eBay. I guess some people may import them, dodge the VAT, then sell cheap on eBay.

Ordered mine from CPW on the day it was announced. After import duty and delivery and waiting for them to show up on eBay I doubt it would be cheaper, and £550 is still cheaper than an iPhone4.
Phoned the local store it's being delivered to today and they don't know when it will be there so just have to wait for the head office to send it out and let me know.

[Q] Availability in Greece at a reasonable price

Having read up and deciding this is the bad boy I want to purchase I have been looking around for a retailer in Greece.
I have only found one online retailer selling this at 699 euros.
Anyone know if there is a place selling it for its proper price???

Closest place is ebay, unless you find it at a retailer. But then you've got international shipping.

I would wait for a month or so, it'll probably become available on more retailers and the price should decrease as well.

Can't you buy from Amazon.co.uk? The tablet is cheaper there than announced price in my country (Poland) and shipping is free to some countries.

Galaxy Gear Pre-Order up at Best Buy

They have all six colors and show delivery as early as October 4th. Buying from Best Buy's a better bet than the carrier's because many of them have restocking fees on accessories (AT&T's is 20%). Something to think about if you end up unhappy after playing with it for a while.
