thank for any help
anyone? please i got one week to be sure what im gonna do!
I ordered mine online. No problems. Note that you should but before you order it online, send seller/manufacturer some inquiries (e-mail) to see how they behave.
If warranty is important for you then leave fingers off.

Do a Google serach for "phone HDC galaxy S3", and you'll find chinese sellers (ex. http://android-sale.com/hdc-galaxy-s3-i9300-phone.html )

Hello, I am going to visit the US in August and I would really like to buy Samsung Captivate, but not the Samsung Galaxy S (I really hate its iPhone style design)
Is it possible for a foreigner to buy Captivate (and unlock it) and use it with my own sim card here in Russia?
just found this instruction - http://ddd.in.com/videos/watchvideo...ngular-att-free-network-sim-code-8507521.html
does it work?
As for non-contract? yes! It will be $350 in any AT&T store.
As for unlocking it, i'm not sure.
so I can just come and buy it in AT&T store without showing some documents like I am a citizan of the US? and btw the price is very low, comparing with its price here in Moscow - $1000
Then, I need just to unlock it for any sim card?

LoL! Yes dude, you can buy it. The only citizenship doecuments you need are US Dollars!
Thanks, dudes, you really helped me)
It's really promising)
The design of Samsung Galaxy S really suks and the Captivate one is awesome
dark, just in case you didn't already know, as of now unlocks aren't available, but it's highly likely that they will be soon. This means that you wont be able to use your phone right away when you get back to the mother land.
On the other hand if you hang in there, by the time unlocks come out, there will be plenty of guides on how to make this phone look as little as the ios as possible. Not to mention alot more online support for it.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't get back home to a huge disappointment .
Good point. I just assumed he was aware of that. As quickly as this thing is gaining momentum, I doubt you'd have to wait long before it's unlocked.
Well, just read the review on one web-site and there was a phrase:
AT&T won't let you sideload apps.
I am confused, does it mean that there is no android market???????????
I saw a video - how to unlock Samsung Captivate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlxc6AJaAys
Does it work?
So if it's fake, I am planning to stay in the US until the end of August, are there any chances for the unlock to reveal?
There is a market, but you can't put stuff on there that isn't from the market.
With AT&T, the only thing can be installed is stuff from the market.
Do you mean that it's just not possible to put .apk files in the phone?
Well, in this case I am OK with Android Market
crap, just read in another review, that there is an AT&T Market - this totally sucks!
So, it is different from Android Market?
Or there are two markets there?

Yup thats pretty much the case, so if you do not mind it, you are good to go. I would not worry too much about an unlock as this phone is spreading faster than fire through the community and should be unlockable pretty soon.
That I have no idea about. I have never owned an Android phone so I only go by what I have read.
but as of this weekend, I will own one!
Maybe root will help us to install 3-rd party apps?
Guys, please post additional info about unlock , when some new information reveals.
I am really interested in this phone.
And can someone check if it is possible to choose Russian locale? I mean transforming the interface to the Russian one
Here is an unlock instruction http://hyfeno.com/unlocked-samsung-i897-captivate/
it seems like it should work
btw please advise me the cheapest US 3g network I am planning to travel in many states of the USA for a month...

You should try asking AT&T for the unlock when you purchase it from them. They should be able to provide you with one free of charge since you are paying for the phone outright!
After paying 6 bucks, this is the reply I got from their site.
Hi,
unfortunately your code wasn't found in our database, would you have another phone you like to unlock?

I'll be calling them today.
AND it's not a free unlock code.
it's 6 bucks as mentioned.

well, may be you misspelled the code?
if it finally works, it's better to pay these 6 bucks, than paying $1000 for the ugly version of Galaxy S here in Russia
The non contract price I was just quoted from the ATT store were I purchased my phone said the the price off contract was 499.00
I was going to buy this phone for 350.00 but 500.00 is a little steep.
so is it $350 or $500?
I heard that $500 is just for t-mobile version
I was going to go over there to exchange it and buy it out right. Look at the prices of the galaxy s line on ebay,500$ sounds about right.
500$ is what I was told from a corporate ATT store.
Hi to everyone! I rly like this phone, but it s hard to buy it... on ebay sellers with lowest price don t send it to Europe :crying: Is there any other way to get this beautifull phone? Sry for my bad english....

Don't buy one honestly. Not that we don't want you around, but the phone is old, and like you said, not very popular. You'd be much better off picking up something like a gnex that is a bit newer if you don't want to spend much.
The other option is to buy two broken phones. to elaborate, buy one that has a dead motherboard, which will cost next to nothing, then buy one with a broken screen or something that has a working motherboard and swap them. you can do any combo, but the point is get one broken one, then another that has what you need to fix it. often this is a great way to save a ton of money.

You can buy an other phone, this is already an old and not so popular one
Nexus 4 makes all the money

Well if you're like me and want an atrix 2 for how well-priced it usually is for its specs and features, then maybe you can try Amazon. That's where I got mine (used) at a reasonable price and if you have any friends/family in the States or try the UK version to have it sent to you.
Newer phones are too overrated and my Atrix 2 has been an awesome first smart phone for me so far. :thumbup: Get what you want to be happy and all the best in your search!

Hello XDA,
I missed the small window of opportunity to purchase the nexus 5 from the play store (16 gb), and now it is almost a month out of stock. I am looking to buy the Nexus 5, but can't find a well-priced retailer. BestBuy andRadioshack (along with my carrier) tack on an extra $100 , which I really don't want to pay. Has anyone successfully purchased the nexus 5 from somewhere other than the Play store for less than $450? If so, is it still available from that location?
Thanks,
ccrama
(I am in the United States)
You may get better results if you edit your thread title to state which country you're looking to buy in.

Thanks, didn't think of that. Fixed
I think it's an awesome device
I personally would try craigslist. That's where I bought mine. The guy sold it for $400 which is like $9 more than it would have been with tax and shipping for google play

I'm going to try to find one on craigslist, but ebay is way overpriced, like 150-200 over play price. I might have luck on craigslist!
Stop posting questions in the General thread. Read the stickies.
You can get them anywhere now.

Hi, new to the forums and want to ask a question as maybe there are people here who will be able to help me.
I want to buy a nexus 5, and currently I'm looking at one on ebay for £50 less than the price on the google store. I asked the seller whether it comes with warranty and he said no as its being imported from outside the UK, however he said its a Genuine LG Nexus 5 even though its from hong kong (now you see my concern)
£290, is it worth risking it for a possible fake? (if there are fakes out there that is)
Thanks,
Rús

Pay the extra 50. It's worth it for the peace of mind and warranty. If it is a fake or it has a problem with it, it's going to be a nightmare and it's going to cost you much more to get it fixed.

ah ok, thanks. I was hoping I could buy the wireless charger for it with that money, oh well
I would post the link here for the auction but I'm not sure if thats allowed on these forums, I wouldn't expect it to be.
Pay the extra end of story......
Hello, i saw one new electronic shop weakprices. com and i want to ask you. Is it worth to buy this phone? I cant show you link here..
Im waiting for your answers guys!
If you like it then yes!
I can't see a phone number on the website which would be a big issue for me. Can't find any reviews either. That site seems very risky to me.
Yes. Current one of th best phones
It's a flagship phone and you'll be getting new tech for sure. But be careful to buy from a reputable source as there are fakes of the S6 out there already.
I've not regretted buying mine
