Hello,
I have been looking everywhere for the Nexus One desktop dock in Canada, but have not yet found a supplier. Would anyone know where's the best place to get one? Ebay is overpriced... I am looking anywhere from 50-70 USD.
Thanks.
bump... anyone?
I think you can buy one through android.com if you have a developer account. You might also try to order through http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/, but I'm not sure if they ship to North America.
I'm worried about where I'm going to get a replacement battery down the road. I always assumed that Google would continue to sell accessories after discontinuing the phone, but I guess they decided to give us a big middle finger instead.

Looking everywhere...
I called Nexus one support ---> tried to help me find one, but no avail.
I called america HTC shop ---> cannot use canadian based creditcard or paypal, they only ship to america. (i was actually okay with this since I could have asked my friend to send it over to me once received)
I checked accessory shop at UK (non in canada) ---> they do ship to canada, but they are out of stock until september 5th. Plus shipping is expensive
I checked ebay ---> I'm not going to bother explaining this one
I checked Amazon ---> 120 (with shipping). too expensive.
I'm getting pissed off now. Way to go google. This is the first time I'm questioning google's marketing team.
I have a pretty much brand new one for sale if you like. Think I've used it twice all up since I got it with my N1 5 months ago from the US?
I am based in Australia but am happy to ship worldwide.
I have sent you a PM.
cheers
Hey I am new here
I am flying to the UK (London) in the end of May, and I wanted to ask if someone who lives in London knows any store there that sells Sim-Free HTC Phones? Basically I am asking that because I want to buy the HTC Sensation and I have only 4 days in London so I want to be prepared.
If there are several stores, I would like to hear all of them if you can or the cheapest+most reliable one (as much as possible ofcourse).
You'll have to buy if from vodophone unlocked
Sure it is possible?
And thanks for the comment.
I am not sure Vodafone sell unlocked phones. Your best bet will be any Carphone Warehouse store. All their phones are unlocked. If you ask to buy PAYG, you will save about £50 on the sim-free price but the good thing is you get the same phone you would have got if you bought it sim-free + you get a number and £10 or £20 credit to use while you are in London.
First, Thanks!
Second, I searched for the store near my Hotel and I found one really nearby so now I want to ask another question, if you have experience buying phones from them or heard something, Do they overprice? I mean here where I live I can go to the store and the price will be 800 pound and in Amazon it will be 600 pound for example.. not that huge differences but I hope you got my point.
Third, Do they get the last phones usually after they come out? because if it's said that the Sensation will come out on mid May, and I am coming on end May, I hope they'll have it by then.
Carphone Warehouse!
As far as I'm aware, Vodafone have it exclusively for May then other retailers will start selling in June, so you may be out of luck I'm afraid

oh me I hope not ><
But thanks for the info!
It looks like this phone won't be coming to the UK any time soon, so I've been looking at getting it via other channels.
Obviously there is the lottery system of eBay :silly: but I wanted to know which "official" retailers I can get the best price from. So far:
O2 Germany: €569 (£463)
SFR France: €620 (£505)
Fido Canada: $575 (£376, but not sure if they ship to the UK? Also may be SIM-locked?)
Rogers Canada: $550 (£341, but problems as above)
Amazon Germany: €535 (£435)
Can you guys help me add to this list please? And maybe point me to the best place to buy from
Thanks,
Su
as i can see, most of us here went the G1 -> G2 -> Relay way.
unfortunatly i'm sitting here in germany where the Relay is not available. and all attempts importing one so far failed. amazon doesn't have it in stock, ebay sellers don't ship overseas etc.
Can anybody help me aquire such a phone? Either get me one and send it to me or point out a dealer that ships to germany?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

you have 3 options
1) negri electronics (they are trustworthy, i got my doubleshot from them)
2) canada gsm (never tried, and you gotta mail them to sort out the international shipping stuff before you order)
3) ebay
of course, going with ebay is the less expensive but the most risky option. i got my relay from ebay, i had to camp ebay.com for a while and message all the people that had a good auction open (try to stay away from fishy stuff that may be stolen or just a scam) and ask if they would ship oversea.
most of them do not, but some do, it's just a matter of patience.
keep in mind that you will have to pay the duties for importing goods, and they will probably be quite hefty, hovering around ~100€ if you go with a shop like negri electronics

The main reason why ebay sellers don't ship overseas, is due to customs and shipping. USPS Express mail, is the only way you can ship internationally with tracking. But some countries simply won't allow those shipments.
And the hassle of dealing with problems if something goes wrong...

thanks for the 2 shops. i will look into it
i do a lot of international trading via ebay, but rarely with the US. but do i get this straight: in a country as large as the United States there is just one carrier which offers sending insured parcels overseas??? hard to believe...

this is incorrect information.
first of all, customs duties will be paid by the buyer when he receives the package. the seller won't even know how much will be paid.
second, you can ship overseas with any major courier like FedEx (i recommend), UPS, DHL and of course USPS which will then be handled by your local postal service.
about stuff going wrong (in the shipment phase) there isn't much if you pay with paypal and make sure the shipping is made via a trustworthy courier with a tracking number.
of course after you have got the phone, you'd be on your own if it has some problems but if you do it right the shipment shouldn't be that much of an issue
negri was out of stock so i just placed an order with canadagsm. camping ebay didn't work for me since i've already tried that one for some weeks.
as the story continues, i will post updates as others might be faced with the same situation

What about a service like SHIPITO?
I am from Czech Rep and have a luck that many of my colleagues are flying to US on regular basis but this service could be used just for this very special purpose.
@fantomex:
yeah.. i stumbled over services like that and i'm considering it.
about canadagsm: i wrote a couple of mails with them back and forth about shipping and conditions and after everything was sorted out i told them that i would like to order. no answer from them now for 2 days. seems like it's back to the drawing board. :-/
found an ebay-seller who's willing to ship to germany, but auction is still up for 3 days... and dunno how that will turn out.
anybody can suggest more online stores that will ship to germany? spend an hour or two torturing google and co but it's hard getting any results since search results are filtered by location. and i guess i cannot deny my german IP ^ ^
found a couple of phone stores but they were either out of stock of didn't have the Relay listed at all.
weird that canadagsm stopped responding. anyway negri has written on its site that it is on backorder, and that they usually ship backordered items within few work days (they probably will just buy a phone then unlock and ship it) so i think you can try and ask them.
if you wanna go the ebay way, make sure you buy a perfect (mint) condition phone, no bad imei, and that the seller will ship with tracking to you. (and, ofc, paypal payment)
yeah.. it's weird about canadagsm.. took them an hour to reply to the initial mail. but now: nothing. already re-sent the mail twice..
will contact negri when i get home since the phone on ebay dissapeared without a trace all of a sudden..

Hi
Ebay india has a sevice called 'global easybuy'. One can buy anything from ebay usa (irrespective of the seller ships internationally or not) and ebay will deliver to your doorstep. Shipping, customs etc charges are included at the time of payment and are quite nominal. Look for 'global easy buy' on ebay germany. Hope they have this service.

i have found some forwarding services, but i don't feel to comfortable with it. none of them i ever heard of. don't consider it to be too safe at all with another anonymous person in the middle.
i'm on an ebay auction again atm which will end tomorrow. maybe i get lucky.

hint: *cough* jbidwatcher *cough*
I'll ship you one if you paypal me the funds and agree not to sue me if the post office loses it. PM me.
thanks for the offer, nardholio, but i've got lucky on ebay. cell was $305, shipping was $45 via usps... and other means of shipping were clearly un-affordable.
brand new and sealed... and locked ^ ^ but that should be the least problem
let's see what the custom fee will be...
5 days and it made it to san francisco so far.. i guess that's why they call it "snail mail" ^ ^
it's here up and running cm10.1
spent another 50eur on customs. but... worth it

Could be, If only there was a bit more detail.
Does anybody know what the price will be within the US?
Also, should I wait a month for the price to drop? (I heard it drops after a month)... first time buying a phone out right

Sweet jesus!.. I thought these new phones start around 599.
Do you have to buy from an "authorized dealer" for Samsung to cover the phone for the warranty?

Samsung doesn't really warranty unlocked phones sold in the U.S. as they aren't really meant for U.S. retail sale.
Your best bet is just buying one outright from your carrier, Best Buy (for their warranty), or putting it on your home owner's insurance policy. You can even buy 3rd party insurance like SquareTrade.

This came up in another thread and my personal thoughts about Expansys is to wait a bit until they get their information about what they will send and when they will send it more correct. They have failed to reply to my Email (over 4 days now) about verifying the exact model #s and capabilities of the S4s they are going to sell. Do what you want, but I'm going to buy from an authorized dealer (AT&T, Best Buys, Radio shack, etc...). There are reputable dealers that use Amazon (and I presume Ebay) but I'm not going to take a chance with this kind of money.
Close to launch day, and still no news about availibility on Amazon!

So if you buy from Bestbuy unlocked phone, the warranty is from Best Buy and not Samsung? I believe this will come from third party companies, much like Best Buy extended warranty.
Now I'm curious, if I buy from Bestbuy using my American Express card, will I get the extended warranty from American Express?
S4 begin to be available in France, but still no news from Amazon :crying:
Amazon Germany is clueless as always with mobile releases.....
Not always! I had the HTC One before everyone in France ordered on amazon.de
Did someone receive the S4 from Amazon europe?
can someone tell me where can i find the phone in uk online or in stores near london without being in a monthly contract. its out of stock everywhere
I canceled my order on Amazon and purchased the phone directly from the Samsung Mobile Store in Paris, why should I wait when a physical shop had it available nearby ? Amazon just weren't fast enough to my tastes.
Phone is now "in stock" in Amazon.fr
