thanks, but i want the Nexus Prime as soon as possible, not sure if ebay is than the right place
Should not be a problem, most times it ends up on ebay before it even gets released! (leaked) or presales are common on ebay now..
ebay or amazon

Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html
I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?
I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.
Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

goin' to florida months end and will pick one up there and ask them to unlock it seeing that i'm canadian (may work)!! then try it on wind and see how it goes...
if anyone finds a good deal that ships to Canada pls let us know too
and btw if anybody has tried any of those sites, would u pls tell how much it cost u?
I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.
Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?
So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it
i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it
If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.
I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.
Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

I found a HTC One X+ (AT&T version) on ebay. The matter is the price. The auction started in 370 USD. I think that is too cheap. The description says this
I am selling the latest HTC ONE X+ 64GB which is locked to ATT network. This is an upgrade in almost every department of the already fantastic and popular One X. Buyer assume full responsibility if purchasing to unlock and use on any network other than ATT. This phone is only two and a half weeks old and used for only about a week. It was in the Speck grip case from the time of purchase and is included in this auction. As you can see in the pictures the original charger and sync cable are still in wrappers. Included in this auction are the original box and manuals, phone, battery, AC wall charger and Sync cable, Sim eject pin, and brand new SPECK candyshell grip case. US bidders only and will ship to continental US only. I accept Paypal only as payment.

So I don't know if is this a scam, or there is a problem with this particular version, or it is impossible to unlock I don't know. What do you think guys about this version?
Well how many days are left on it? Nowadays people usually wait to bid last second on eBay and even if it was a scam and you paid your money eBay and PayPal will always side with the buyer usually

Are there any comments about this version?
You could try posting in the One X+ forum and checking with people who already own the device?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Auctions often start at a low price to attract attention. As mentioned, most the bidding happens on the last day of the auction, even the last hours/minutes. Bidding a high price early just pushes the auction price unnecessarily high.
Bidders determine the ultimate price of the item. So you can't tell if an eBay auction is a scam, solely by price. Look at the sellers rating.

I found the auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-X-6...1039819421?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2e89129d
There are four days left to go. Rest assured the price will go up substantially based on what others are selling for.
The seller has two feedbacks, both from selling phones, apparently both today. I would be a bit wary of this--who knows where he got these?

Thanks for your comments. I sent a mail to the seller asking this:
Hi
1.- Which is the firmware version?
2.- Did you try to unlock it before?
3.- Why are you selling this htc?
Cheers

He answered this:
I do not have the firmware version readily available. The phone is already boxed and ready for shipping because someone already had won it in a previous auction. However he was from Russia and I do not ship internationally and so this is a relisted auction. I can unbox it tomorrow and power it on and give you the firmware number. I have never attempted to unlock the phone but I have read that it is definitely possible but I am unsure of what networks it would work on. That is up to the buyer however it is my understanding that it should work on any GSM network worldwide as long as the bands are supported. I am selling the phone because I am somewhat of a phone junkie and have many different phones. I am currently using a Lumia 920 and at the moment prefer the WP8 platform. I also have the LG Optimus G and a Samsung S3!!! I will probably be selling those off too in the near future. If you look at my history I have sold already a One X, Focus 2, Atrix 2, and Galaxy S3

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

Handtec.com in the UK sell them unlocked, link http://www.handtec.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=nexus+5. US devices LTE is not compatibel with Euro/Rest of the world. The ones from Handtec are.
Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda
32gb on ebay for £419.99
guys in UK, if you want the 32gb, there is some from HongKong selling 5 on eBay
£419.99 for 1

hope that helps. i hope i havent gone against any rules as well by posting this. enjoy guys, i paid £530 ish for mine.so this is a bargain.
Is it safe?
