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.

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.

Where is the best place to buy unlocked overseas phones from, especially the sgs2, A lot of the sites do not seem very safe
Ebay
Use ebay. Because if you go through paypal you can dispute a claim if it ends up being a bad sale.
Expansys-Usa or Negri or New Egg. If you shop around and wait and look up coupon codes, you can find great deals. For instance you can get a new unlocked canadian nexus off of negri right now for $565 shipped. Overseas customers make Ebay ridiculously expensive. Unlocked Iphones sell for more on Ebay than they do directly from Apple...I don't see how that makes any sense...
Hi all
I'm from Ireland and I'm going to be in the US in september and I'm hoping to buy a note 10.1 as it's much cheaper there than it is in Ireland (in the order of $150 cheaper).
What is the best brick and mortar store?
Best buy seems to be the only place I can find that (on the net atleast) would have in stock, also is there anything I'm not thinking about? taxes or the charges which may affect me I'm going to california by the way.
Office Max is a good brick n mortar store, that sells the G-Note 10.1 All you have to pay extra is California's state sales tax.

I bought mine from newegg.com for $499 with free shipping (ups 3days) and without tax
while I was in a hotel in Texas for a business trip.
But I think you'll end up paying tax in California if you order from newegg.
Goto www.nowinstock.net and check out other online stores as well.
Good luck.
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm now thinking to avoid sales tax(and wasting my time finding stores) to buy the note 10.1 and Tab2 7.0(for my gf) on Amazon and have it shipped to my gf dad who lives in cali

I may be mistaking something, but how are you avoiding tax by purchasing online? Does it depend on the state you ship it to? I live in Canada, so I'm not used to this tax exemption concept.
well my understanding(recent research from google) is that most states have sales tax which is charged on top of the price of good at point of sale. I'm not exactly sure how online retailers avoid having to pay sales tax but I believe it has to do with selling good from outside the state where the customer is.
In the US, you usually don't pay sales tax online UNLESS the store has a physical presence in your state. That has it's exceptions though, like Amazon, here in CA you currently don't pay tax to sales fulfilled directly by them (sales fulfilled by 3rd parties on Amazon still carry tax IF they are in your state) because they have no physical presence in CA, however, through a deal made last year between CA and Amazon, we will have to start paying sales tax on ALL Amazon purchases, regardless of whether it's coming directly from them or from a 3rd party. If you want sales tax free online stuff in CA after September, you'll have to go with somebody like B&H, JR or Adorama, who are all located in New York City.
Both Clove and Handtec do not stock it for preorders.
That's really odd.
Usually they carry the white variant of previous Xperias.
Can anybody recommend a good site for ordering a White Z3?
I need to know this too. I looked at clove, handtech and carphone. Cant seem to find a white one.
Yeah I changed my mind on getting the green one because of the black front and I'm aiming for a white one now. I don't know where you're located (looks like Canada?) but Expansys-USA has it - no price yet it's only a pre-order. I'm assuming that'll pop up when Sony's own US site gets it in.
It was an exclusive for phones4u in the UK, now theyve gone in to administration. So i dont know who will be stocking the white one now, its the colour that i want now they've decided to make the whole phone white, looks really nice.
The Sony Mobile Shop has the white model and they are also offering the SBH80 for £1 with preorders (RRP £90 ish).
Is Expansys Reputable, I'm in the US and patiently waiting...

Do you know if they will ship internationally?
rmd0311 Expansys have been around for quite a long time, they have a pretty good reputation. Haven't bought anything from them recently but never had a problem with them.
ssj_jaypee No idea you would need to ask them. I would imagine the SBH80 offer is UK specific.
FYI the White Z3 has now appeared on the Handtec website but no release details yet.
So the next question., is handtec a reputable seller... I can buy from them, pay for 2 day shipping and still be cheaper than never-msrp current price on eBay.

Yes they are. I've used them twice to purchase my Z and Z1.
Very good service and quick overnight delivery.
As the title really, are we expected to see the forge tv in the UK? If so, How much you think it'll be? £99?
I'm so tempted to get it ordered from Razor US, sent to a shipping company who would forward it on to me in the UK - Comes with google play store on aswell, root is probably fairly likely. Would maybe work out no more than £140 after shipping and fees too.
I'd probably buy two (roughly same shipping cost I'd imagine) and put the spare on eBay to recoup some of my cost in fairness. Either way, has anyone used any services such as the above and can you recommend any?
Thanks

FTR, I've ordered two units from Razer. Getting shipped to an american company. It will then be sent to me in the UK. I will likely stick one on eBay and keep the other (then selling my Fire TV). Should hopefully end up upgrading at no cost by the time the other is sold.
Will be much better over the Fire TV.
