Amazon and eBay are great places to purchase devices online. The Google Nexus 4 is one option: http://www.google.com/nexus/4/

The international one, because it will get software updates faster, no at&t bloatware, and you don't live in an LTE area so there shouldn't be a differencr

Funny stuff... people are still using this fake site to swindle best buy out of some cash?!?!? Want a laugh, try to even get to a checkout on surefireshops!
Many best buys will not honor this, they usually only match some of the big sites.

I went to Best Buy to get the price match. They identified both sites that have it listed for under $350 as "Phishing Scams". For whatever reason, they still did it. I walked out for $349.99

Because they want between 50-60 for them and when I bid on them I get outbidded by people with 90%+ history of bidding on that seller which tells me the sellers will just keep out bidding you using these shell accounts until it gets where they want.

Three UK deal

Hey guys,
Since I already posted this in another thread, I thought I would post a new topic just in case anyone misses it.
I've got a friend working in Three who is able to get yourself the S4 at £35 a month but can also give you a £30 credit and some extra minutes too :good:
If anyone is interested then feel free to give me a message
Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought the phone from Three yet? How was your experience?
BTW this isn't just exclusive to the S4, there's other phones too.
was due for an upgrade from three, got the £35/month 500 min unlimited data also got a home signal box for free as i get bad indoor coverage.

Haha
After a few PM's with several other members I thought I'd post how this works...
I simply forward your phone number and name to someone who works in Three's direct sales department based in Glasgow. They'll contact you at a specified time and discuss the phone, the plan and the offer with you. It is up to you whether you want to place your order right there and then or place the order at another time. The order must be placed over the phone however in order to qualify for the deal as this is the only way they can add the credit and minutes to the account.
Contact me for more information if you are interested :good:
As for why I'm posting this here, let's just say I owe this person a favor
Basically DarkStones mate will be getting a commison from each of you. Which I personally think is a nice thing to do, just a shame im mates with my local store manager so already have mine ordered.
Well played to you though mate!!

Not personally no, but I've heard from others that it works pretty well
Just a heads up guys, from 26th April onwards, there will be a £49 upfront cost for the phone if you buy it online or phone into inbound sales.
Of course I can get this waived for you even after this date :good: Also, this is a new contract and not an upgrade to your existing contract for those that are interested.

isn't this the same deal on the Three website which you could also get around £75 cashback via TCB???

You wouldn't get the extra minutes and TCB may take a while to track. The credit can be applied immediately to the account by ordering directly from Three via myself. An additional £30 credit can also be added to a friend or family Three account if you have their phone number too.
I'm always suspicious of posts like this - how do we know that the 'friend' who works for Three isn't the OP.

Simply put, I don't need to, look at my history and you'll see what I really do for a living. I'm just helping out, to be honest it doesn't matter to me whether people are suspicious or not though

My S4 is due to come on Friday, can't wait ^_^

(US) Samsung Experience @ best buy, got to hold an S4

Hey guys, just wanted to open a thread regarding the Samsung stores @local best buys in the us.
Went into a store today to buy ink and stumbled upon a Samsung rep setting up the mini store. Had a quick conversation with him.
He let me hold the s4 and we had a quick chat about the phone. Apparently he had a s600 s4, but it was not carrier branded. He wouldn't let me take a picture of it though.
Love the design of it and it was very comfortable to hold in the hand, since it didn't have that security thing attached.
Anyways, just thought I'd share this, so you guys can keep a lookout at your local best buy.

I wish I could've taken a picture but he wouldn't let me. Just the fact that he had one on him in the us is awesome (btw, he was a Rep from South Korea hq).
I can say one thing though.....The bezel was almost non existent on it. So beautiful. Def gonna be my next phone.

i wonder if this means we might be able to line up outside a bestbuy to get an international s4, instead of relying on importing from uk websites like Clove .. I'd definitely be one of the ones who camp out overnight!

I doubt it...you know how the us is with availability of the good stuff. I was surprised he said his was the snapdragon version, since he's from corporate. Must really be a supply issue then.

Unless they got someone from corporate setting up, I doubt it. But if they do, just casually ask about the release date, and hope they're willing to show you.

Good luck! If you do see it, just focus on the bezel. Videos are chill, but seeing it in person, the bezel is just so thin.

Yes it does look thin as hell. I don't think they will let me have an in depth hands on but I look forward to see the screen and navigate through the UI a little.
What color was the s4?

Yeah, I was lucky to even hold it. I didn't wanna overstep his generosity, so I just held it, and checked out the screen and the design of it.
And it was the black version, but it was in a window flip cover.

Hello I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on this phablet. I live in the US so I'm guessing ima have to order online? First id like to know if it works well as a phone and battery life. This seems much more unique than a note 2

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

I guess Amazon is serious enough to not let their customers selling crappy products... ^^
EDIT : Battery is very good and as a phone also even though a bit too big...
But you can use a wired headset or a BT version...
