Where can I buy a Galaxy Tab Plus 3G in the USA ?

It looks like the P6200 (the 3G version, unlocked) is not yet officially sold in the USA. Any info on any USA e-tailer that sells it ?

tmobile has the tab 7+ for sale

will not happen, unofficially anyhow, just like first version. word is as of now.. malaysia and indonesia are our only options.

Believe it or not.... QVC.com has them with the 3G built in. I just ordered the one for my wife for Christmas today. I it is scheduled to to be here by the 12th.

What shipping method did you use ?
Did you have to go through any custom clearing process involving additional costs ?

Really hard to believe, and indeed they have only the wifi version listed on their website.

i thought you meant the 3G/voice call feature/unlocked version/unbranded version. Tmobile does have hspa+ variant, no hardware for voice support.

ordered mine wednesday, looks like its at customs today, called DHL and they say its normal nothing to be concerned about yet.
@clubtech, let us know how yours is working with whatever carrier/SIM you use.. looks like AT&T from you pic there. Are you planning on using this with grandfathered unlimited smartphone data plan and voice? Thats what I plan to use and Im almost certain we will be OK. just like to be sure.

Ordered mine last saturday and had to go through the most intense verification system of my life . Read what I have been required to send and laugh :
==========================================
Thank you for making an order at ipmart.com, Mr. __!,
Your payment's transaction is currently under process and there is major uncertainty that requires further verification from you. May we ask you to RECORD VIDEO WITH HANDPHONE AND EMAIL us these:
Video of your Credit Card (with first 8 digit covered)
Video of Passport or IC (Identity Card)
Video of Latest Credit Card Statement (Billing of your Credit Card) (with first 8 digit covered)
Please click here to see the video sample:
http://www.ipmart.com/main/text_payment_verification_document_video.php?ref=verify
======================================================
I could not believe my eyes when I read that I was to produce a VIDEO !!!!
Well, I did it anyhow, verification went trough and a minute ago a got my tracking # yahooooooooooooooo ..........
And yes, it looks like it's the white version I've been sent .

I bought a wifi one in US. Just don't know how can I bring this 7" as a phone, I am not used to carry a bag, if do so I will lost it in one day

I also ordered from iPmart and got my tracking number today. I thankfully didnt have to go through the extreme verification process that the above poster did.

Anyone using this on att with their unlimited plan without having to switch over to a straight data plan? I have the wifi version but want to return for the 3g version.

How do you get warranty if you buy from Malaysia?

Any chance of 32g + att LTE?

I saw this gorgeous phone recently. The sharpness of the screen + amazing viewing angles + the rest absolutely blew my mind.
I've also seen it is reasonably durable. I figure with a case it should be relatively good to go..
The problem I have is with no external SD card and absolutely no data to spare. (200 mb is my limit)
This phone loses its viability for me if I can't get more than 16 gb storage.
I googled about and haven't found anything about a 32gb version besides rumored spec sheets.. I am hoping maybe someone here will have heard something I haven't. Does anyone out there know anything about a possible 32 gb version of the One X with LTE support?

Well if you are buying it off contract, the only way would be the Australian HOX which is identical except it's better because you can root and unlock bootloader for it.

Sounds like a pretty great option if I could find a decent deal unlocked.

I'm Australian and as far as I know our version is only available at a Telstra (the carrier) store, on a Telstra plan.
Oh, and it's definitely 32gb, my fiance has one. But good luck getting your hands on one. Try eBay maybe.

You can buy them outright for about $750 AUD from the Telstra store...
Not sure if the LTE would work due to the different bands they operate on...

[Q] Bought S3 from Amazon. Do I have to use their sim card?

I am expecting my S3 to arrive from Amazon today. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using the sim card they send with it opposed to getting one from the Verizon store?
I guess what I am asking is if there are any strings attached or anything like that if I use the sim card amazon provides?
Thanks!

It is a standard Verizon sim. Contract is still Verizon. Amazon just the retailer. Same as if you went to Best Buy, Radio Shack or the Verizon store.

Ok, thank you! Wasn't sure if it would have any sort of extra strings attached or anything!

This has nothing to do with the sim but just be aware if the phone was discounted and you dont complete the 2yr agrement with verizon, amazon will charge you up to $250 for early cancellation. They try and get their money back they ate giving the discount. My friend got hit with that crap which is sort of dumb but does make sense.

Thanks! Yep, knew about that, but I think it is a 6 month thing, not the full 2 years. I plan on keeping the phone anyway, so I shouldn't have to worry much about that unless something extraordinary happens.

Yes

Exact same phone, the one at Best Buy just comes with an $100 SIM card.

This is one of the most appealing features of this phone that has so far gone pretty much unrecognized. You can take this single model and jump to most major and prepaid carriers.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Directed to the two posters above who say it will work on AT&T - how do you know? Do you have confirmation from someone who bought the phone at Best Buy? The listings on Bestbuy.com both say (Sprint) after the name of the phone.

I have the nexus from Sprint and can personally verify it works with a prepaid att straight talk Sim card. FYI the sprint sold phone does not include the Sim tray key.

As long as you are paying full price, you should be able to get it without a Sprint account. It will of course depend on whether the sales person you deal with decides to be a jerk or not.

So you just stick an AT&T SIM card in there and it'll automatically switch to it? Was your phone already activated on the Sprint network? I'm curious since Sprint would tie in with the ESN activation for CDMA. If it's just as simple as putting in an AT&T or Tmobile SIM, then I'm sure getting it!

I bought a Nexus 5 from Best Buy and I'm an AT&T customer. Yes, the phone will automatically connect to AT&T's network. It took a few minutes to convince the BB employee that the phone would work on AT&T. They also insisted it was store policy that they activate every phone they sell, so I had to pay the $30 activation fee.

Thanks! If you can detail out the settings you had to change to go back, that would be much appreciated!

I can't remember specifics but I had to change the settings here back to LTE a couple of times. For some reason it wouldn't stick after the first reboot. I can't retest it because my straight talk Sim is not active right now. I can assure you it works relatively easily though.

because all N5's sold in North America are the same model, with the same frequencies (D820), the only thing that may have to be changed is the APN.
this is not like other Sprint specific devices like the G2 (LS980) vs the AT&T G2 (D800)
AT&T - D800
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1900/2100
LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/850(5)/700(17)
Sprint - LS980
GSM 850/1900
CDMA 800/850/1900
UMTS 850/1900
LTE 1900(25)/800(26)/2500(41)

That would have been awesome, I don't understand why everybody charges $100 more unless Google really is taking a hit on each one they sell.
Glad you got them to price match, they wouldn't budge for me. Brought them a few receipts where other people did it, brought them the price printed. They just kept telling me it's not the same phone, got to the point where I was just tired of wasting my time with them and didn't want to wait on the Play Store so I just got it at full price.

I don't think Google is necessarily taking a hit but I do think they are selling them just slightly above cost. You have to remember that Google isnt a electronic sales company like Apple, they make all of their profits from there data mining and advertising business. Android is just another medium to collect data and deliver ads. So they could give these away for free and still benefit. However companies like best buy and sprint make their money off of retail sales and cell phone plans. So they are trying to maximize profits that way.
Anyways bummer that they didn't match for you. I guess I just got luck. I walked in not feeling to confident with my play store ad. They were cool but hesitant. After the guy asked his manager he said that they normally wouldn't match the play store but were will to make an exception.

I am in the same boat but for T Mobile. Anyone know if this phone will work for T Mobile as well? I would believe so but I want to make especially if BB is going to charge me an activation fee.

Up on Bestbuy. Its a start.

Wish they had 64gb. 5 to choose from.
Edit: order 32gb black 9-6 and now backordered as of 9-8 with no date of next shipment.:what:

As a Verizon users who already pre-ordered from Moto, this is a little concerning:
"* Phone will not work with Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA carriers. Please contact your carrier prior to purchasing to confirm your carrier will support voice and data on this unlocked GSM device." - from the BB site linked in OP.
I know it supposedly has the bands to work on VZ, what do you guys think?
Edit: This DL article shows that it does have CDMA Bands for Verizon: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/07/28/moto-x-pure-edition-bands-verizon/ I'm still nervous though.

If it has expandable memory, why would you overpay for bigger internal storage? Just curious.

More total storage and more room for apps. I will leave the option off in M that combines storage, so can use the sd as media only. I have a 200gb card and has my entire music collection and also some movies, game roms, comics, books and Gear VR media. I like my stuff in one local place. Convenient and zero reliance on cloud or OTG storage.

I would suggest calling the store that you plan on going to and ask them. I wouldn't trust the online store availability, I've had the website say "unavailable" when a product was actually available at the store.

Right now they are "shipping" only, and with pre-order. Best bet is wait till they show available and give the actual store a call. I have never bought one outright from a store, always did online.

The Moto X Pure Edition is categorized at Best buy as "Unlocked" which means that you should be able to purchase it without any contract/service plan. You should be able to walk out of the store with nothing more that the cell phone.
FYI the 16gb black model probably has the best chance of being in stock. For me, it is saying "Add to Cart" rather than "Pre-Order" like the other models.
