I have looked everywhere (Expansys, Popular Electronics, eBay) for the HTC Sensation (Bell Canada model so I can get 3G in USA) but only Negri has it on back order.. any other leads for me?
thanks!
Australia has 1 carrier who uses the 850mhz band (Telstra), so you can get 'usa' capable handsets here

if you want the bell canada one, there's a few major resellers here that may ship out of country, I have no idea if they will... Bell won't even sell to a non-subscriber if you show up at their door knocking.
Try wireless wave or T-Booth
or any of the electronics stores we have here... eg: the source, Futureshop, or Bestbuy.
Someone may have a web special and ship overseas. who knows?
did you get one yet? I'm looking for one too.

if you try to purchase they ship to the US for $40 but $640 is pretty pricey, i think thats canadian so youre looking at $666 for a phone that you can get for tmobile for around $350 to $400 already

just FYI, that is not what he's asking for, TMobile don't use the band he is looking for (850Mhz)
The Bell version uses the bandwidth compatible with AT&T 4G data. the Tmobile will only support Edge when using AT&T.

I can confirm, i receive mine yesterday on the box have a little transparent sticker that say Virgin Mobile. But when i turn it on dont have any company logo. I check and is S-ON . Im very happy with it it runs very good on att HSPA. And arrive next day from Canada to Puerto Rico
I can get this for around $260, is that a decent price?
is it a price you're happy with, how does it compare to other devices?
There are lots of countries such as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, as well as the United States that use $ so depends which one you are in too.
Yeah, which model and which currency? New? Used? If it's a new P6800 model and USD $260 then that is a ****in' excellent price. But, more details are needed.
Sorry, probably should mentioned I'm in the US. This model is the Verizon 4g model.
I paid $225 for a sch-i815 off ebay for a used one with scratches.

Why such a difference between the i815 and P6800? Is it because one is GSM? Also, can the i815 be used as a phone, or is it tablet only?
I bought mine through Verizon for the same price and it was "used" but literally brand new with plastic and not a mark on it. Totally a steal man.

P6800 is universal and can be used internationally across various carriers using their SIM cards. i815 can only be used on Verizon network. So it limits you immensely. Besides you can't use firmwares directly released by Samsung on their website. That limits you further because you are on the mercy of Verizon.
However in the USA, you don't have major carriers (except AT&T) on GSM.
One major problem is: If you buy P6800, there is no warranty from Samsung USA.

i think that is goooood price

How much did you pay for a "used" SCH-I815? I only found certified pre-owned ones for $279.99 online order only.
I got this tablet half a year ago for $260 (P6810) in Australia.
in amazon, last december, I bougth new for 200€ (p6810) , in Spain
Is the timing of the respective countries releasing the new Gear as haphazard as their software updates.
In particular looking for a UK release date and actual prices in £s not the conversions being quoted.

Pre order in the UK on 29th October for availability for 12th November. S2 will be £249 and classic £50 more.
Good to see a date, although no clear when they ship - still stupid to launch a marketing campaign for something you could not even buy or pre order.

Official information about UK availability
As always no information on the Samsung uk website
More pricing confusion of the good variety though.

Release seems to be late in the UK for this?? You can always order from amazon.de using your same account info... Just a thought.
I am planning on getting one from amazon (US) and use it here in Europe.
Will there be any issues?
It's not like a phone where you have different bands - so I guess it should be no problem. But I also don't want to through 300 bucks out off the window.

The US version runs on a different firmware. Noticable differences are lack of different language support (OK if you're English or Spanish I guess?) and temperature is displayed in F and not C. Firmware updates may also be an issue...
Thanks.
Only English wouldn't be a problem. Fahrenheit could get annoying.
Is there a way to change firmware? Why should updates be an issue (US are always the first to get it)?
Cool thanks for the tip.

I imported one from amazon.com. Got here real quick and actually works out more expensive then what you will be paying in the UK. I can confirm that asking for weather reports always brings back results in Fahrenheit. One side note S-voice is terrible compared to android wear voice search.

I just bought a Gear S2 classic from Clove UK. About £20 more than Samsung online but Samsung won't dispatch for another fortnight. I like the watch but I think I will return it and carry on using my Gear S.

Any info on delivery of your Classic?
I ordered the Classic via Samsung with a voucher SAMUK5 for 5% off and possibly Quidco 8% - says card would not be billed until they confirm shipment but already charged my card !!!
Benefit of going Samsung direct is if it really is as crap as I think then it will be getting returned.

Excited as my one due to arrive tomorrow.
Anyone seen the new LG Urbane specifications it has LTE calling by all account to become a Google feature.
Well done Samsung once again you cooked up.
I was wondering about retailers in the US that will sell the S7 unlocked from day 1 that aren't resellers on amazon/ebay. I know BestBuy sells unlocked phones now but I believe some of them are overpriced, and amazon/ebay resellers sometimes aren't trustworthy so I really don't want to deal with that extra hassle. Plus I need to buy it unlocked cause I'd like to try it for a couple weeks and sell it if I don't like it very much.

PhoneArena claims availability from the following:
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular stores, Best Buy, Car Toys, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Walmart
If I'm not mistaken Best Buy is also available in Canada so maybe there. However Best Buy doesn't seem to be offering the S7 unlocked atm.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-smartphones-151359
I don't think best buy Canada sells unlocked phones but I could be wrong... I'm on public mobile (telus) so I'll try to buy from telus or kodoo
I would love an unlocked one in a Canada also, but not holding my breath for that. I just assume Samsung will make us go through the carrier.
Now will Bell let me by one outright? That's what I'm wondering.

Yeah, I buy frequently from Ebay. I'm just guessing since it'll be a reseller they'll probably sell it for higher prices than MSRP.

Not necessarily. I bought the G4 and S6 within a few days after launch for the same price and a little less than other sites

I read on Android Authority if I'm not mistaken the Samsung won't be selling unlocked phones directly.
DAMN! $899 from the carriers for the 32GB non-Edge.
I don't know if I can shell out over $1000 (with tax) for a carrier locked phone that gets OS updates 6 months late. Disappointed I won't be getting a new toy.
in canada we dont see unlocked phones because the big three dont like it. like the nexus 5 was sold unlocked for 399 and at fido for 500. (not sure about the price)
we are really screwed right now in canada. exchange rate is so bad. i think the S7 will be 249-299 on contract and the S7 plus 120$ more.
I called the Samsung store at Sherway Gardens in Toronto. The guy said, they DO sell unlocked phones. They are taking pre-orders and you have to go to the store for a deposit. It also comes with the free VR headset!
Certainly good news if you live close to a Samsung store. I wasn't expecting this.
So can I safely assume updates should hit these faster than carrier phones since they are straight from Samsung?

That's really lucky for you. I already asked BB about the unlocked version, they hinted it might be available when the phone is released but definitely not available for preorder meaning unless it's a carrier phone no way to take advantage of the preorder bonus, unfortunately there's no local Samsung store down here. If you do go and preorder the unlocked version at a Samsung Store, mind getting the prices for us please? (s7 and s7 edge).
Had an unlocked Note 5 from the Samsung store. I don't see why they would stop selling unlocked phones.

It's $899 for the 32GB S7, didn't ask about the Edge. It DOES come with the bonus VR with no contract or carrier sign-up nonsense.
Hi guys
Where would you get this phone from for a person living in the UK?
I've been looking at eBay but they seem to be sold out or priced too highly?

Did you have to pay tax on top of the final price?
No - I'm in Canada.
