Where to buy bell sensation?

I tried to buy it from bell but they dont ship to US.
Is there an alternative place I can order this phone from?

Your best bet is to ask a member that's located in Canada.

Last time I checked, I didnt see any postings.
It is kinda annoying to wait until somebody post one up to purchase one.

Negri Electronics or GSM Nation have it unlocked with the new codes released yesterday. 621 CAD(549.99 plus the crazy taxation that funds their universal healthcare) is roughly around 637 USD as of today. From my experience, you can roughly get it for 640 something after googling coupon codes and google checkout with Negri. In a way it's cheaper since you don't have to pay for the unlock code. Your next best option would be to visit our friendly neighbors to the North and buy from a Bell store, then try to get a tax refund at the border. However unless you live near the US border, I'm pretty sure, traveling to Canada would offset any savings you could get by buying in person.

I wish I was close to Canada. I live in SC so it is a lil bit of a drive
Wow $640 is way too much for that phone. I love and everything but that price is pretty absurd.

It's a very strange sensation (pun intended) reading about americans coming up North to buy something up here.
It's always the other way around. Not available in canada, no shipping to Canada, this COMEDY CENTRAL video is not available for you peasants.
Canadians going down to the states to avoid tax, buy cheaper products, etc. I could go on and on.
Why can't americans buy it from their own stores down there, I thought it was out there earlier than Bell released it up here?

Haha, it's opposite land. Canada has been improving in getting cellphones in a timely manner, especially with the XPERIA series. The iPhone 4 came unlocked here, Nexus S, etc...
Anyways, you'd be correct, the Americans got the Sensation before we did but they got the 1700mhz version for T-Mobile. This is the same frequencies that Wind and Mobilicity use here. Unfortunately, Rogers/Bell/Telus (at AT&T in the States) doesn't operate at 1700mhz and instead operate on 850mhz/1900mhz, which is what the Bell Sensation was released at.

i'm friends with several at the mobile department, if it can be done they'll do it. if not, i'll wait until they have it in stock, return mine to at&t, and buy it there. i like black tie that much...although i've yet to use it.

I'm wondering if they'll price match radio shack at $49.99. I'm hoping they will of course. I used to work at Best Buy, so I hopefully may be able to convince a BB Mobile employee to price match.

No they can't price match online prices, only if a local store has that price and it's in stock

Right, I understand that. I guess I wasn't aware that the Radio Shack price was online only.

I also went to a best buy in stl and I ask the best buy employee, so when's the htc one x coming out?! I think it's going to be another month atleast. And that was Sunday he said this. Lol the store I went into was a best buy mobile store ONLY! But didn't know they would price match or I would of gone with them.

Still no word on the BB price? They usually are the cheapest around. I guess either way I could price match to $150, but I'd be surprised if they didn't already beat it.

I believe from when I did my pre order that their price is 200 for a upgrade. It should be the same price as ATT maybe as low as 150.00.
I went with them as I signed up for that free 50 dollar gift card with a upgrade earlier this year so that on top of the fifty I used to pre order and some other gift cards means I will be paying about 75 for it.
As for the info I would wager that they will send out a official email around Friday saying it will be ready for pick up on Sunday. That is what happened with my Galaxy Note I had on pre order.

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!

Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.

[Q] Where to Buy Nexus 5 in USA?

Guys My Brother is coming to India on 24th, so obviously today I asked him to bring Nexus 5. but he told that it takes around 10-15 days to deliver. we don't have that much time. can you guys suggest where to buy nexus 5 online for a fast delivery?
if it may help he lives in Texas.
Thank you.

Best Buy should have it but it would be a bit more.

Any idea how much it would be?

It's $450. But you can price match it at their best buy. Just print out the google play store price (make sure it says it is in stock) and then print out their policy. Ask them to match it for $350. It should work. I got mine matched at that price at bestbuy

Keep in mind it MAY NOT WORK in India. There are TWO models. An American Model and a international model.
I suggest you MAKE SURE your carrier supports it.

Purchased mate 7 32gb from ebay seller

Hi has anyone purchased a mate 7
32gb MT7-TL10 from a seller called sanho2013 ?
I purchased from them and there taking ages to deliver my phone.
He said 4-5 days delivery which states from UK but his account location is hongkong. Either way I wasn't bothered aslong as I get my device. Well I purchased last week on Monday and thursday 27th he sent me royal mail tracking. I've tracked it since Thursday and also rang royal mail as it just says tracking will update when we receive the item. Royal mail said they waiting for the item N that we have the job information like my address but the seller still.hasn't give it to them.
I contacted the seller many times he just said royal mail has got it on 26th which is wrong with estimated delivery 31st-2nd which is different to his original delivery date the 30th. But my argument is royal mail.don't even have it yet so he.is ovsly talking crap to me.
I was just woundering if anyone has experienced this ebay seller before. I did reasearch on his account before I purchased and he had a few thousand positive feedback.
I just don't understand how a £389 device hasn't been delivered to.me after a week and half.

If you order oversea it will take at least 10 days maybe two weeks.

^ seller is shipping from abroad (HongKong) & RoyalMail not got it yet.

The tracking updated last night it is out for delivery. Wish sellers was mote truthfull. It's a lot of money to part with. The sale stated no tax sent from UK.

Perhaps he uses triangle shipping from HK to UK then to you.
If so then you wont have taxes to pay, the phone may not be international version though??

And yes he must use something like that. I dont mind where its from as long as it works on my ee in UK and delivery is correct not 3 days late when they say royal mail has it when they dont
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Free mobile app

Yes exactly what he does, hongkong to third party in UK as gift or low value so no tax, then on to you.

Finally received my mate 7. What a beast it even had UK charger inside so I'm guessing its the phone is for the UK as was manufacture sealed. Only problem I found was a little dent in the top left hand corner of the bezel. Not too happy about it but not a lot I can do but will contact the seller.

I had the same situation. From a different seller tho. Chinese people have the same tactics.
Try and cancel it, ill tell you where you can get gold mate 7 in a sealed box with eu lte bands with next day delivery for £360
Edit: just read all the comments. I guess im a little bit too late

Haha yeah little late. They ovsly making some money dodging taxs.
£360 is a good price tho I could only find 1 for 389 apart from a dodgy looking site for the 32GB version. So happy with this phone it's awesome. Definitely be looking into buying more Huawei phones in the future. Wasn't sure what I would receive from the seller but it's all UK as has UK charger inside so very happy. Just wish I didn't get a bit of a dent in the top bezel even.tho it's not very noticeable once I no it's there it eyes always sees it. Hoping for the seller to give me a partial refund as it would cost him a lot to return a doa device and then send another 1 out.

What is the model number & firmware version ?
In asia we are experts at opening & resealing boxes, most phones centres where I live have wrapping & sealing machine so you need check things real well.
The gold 32gb dual sim is £300 here & even cheaper than that in China/Kowloon
Do you guys actually have uk warranty ! I have warranty centre in my city near me, almost £400 is a lot of money for no rear retail seller support or reliable warranty.

@techfan1997 I've been using the MT7-L09 model for several months now. It works perfect with LTE on both AT&T's network and T-Mobile's network. It even works well with T-Mobile's AWS 1700 MHz band for its backhaul HSPA+ 4G service. This phone is 100% compliant with US GSM-LTE providers.
