I have never had a problem with Amazon. Unlike flee bay you are dealing with a reputable company vs a seller who may or may be out to scam people.

It can be from a 3rd party seller via amazon, however if you're unhappy with your purchase (if it does come from a 3rd party even) amazon pays shipping back if it's "defective" or not what you ordered (scam/fraud)

Thanks 4 the info

Just like eBay & PayPal, Amazon processes the credit card payment, not the seller. So all the sellers would get is your order & shipping information.

if you're talking about the 32gb card i started a thread about here the other day, then i can assure u it's reliable. had my **** in 5 days and its working perfectly. u can always check seller feedback if it's not sold by amazon itself. pretty reliable.

I have made several purchases from Amazon and I have never had a problem.

glad to see you on the forum and congratz on 10 posts. BUT Please please please do not grave dig something that has not been posted on in almost a year.

Fruitsphone 4s

Here It is. Lets use this thread to post every information we have concerning this phone:
For the time being there is only one known official online seller :http://fruitsphone.taobao.com/ . Problem is this is only in chinese.
So all international sellers have to deal direct with fruitsphone.com on their gmail to make purchases. But again only payment method accepted is Western Union which is obviously risky.
Some of us have bought through Fastcardtech.com which is not an official reseller. But they have probably bought the product from taobao and are reselling.
Have ordered one for a friend from them . Should get it in 1 weeks time.
I am keen to try and get another one ( for myself) direct from fruitsphone but have asked for more specifications from them as they seem to have the 16g ones as well.

Unboxing of fruitsphone 4s on youtube:
http://youtu.be/BW7ZmwxnBxg

Was told in an email sent at 5pm (chinese time) that my phone was sent today... Now the time is midnight in China and still my order says "unshipped" on their website.. hoping tomorrow (It's 6pm local time) .. and they advertise for "your honest pal".. we'll see about that..

I think they got people to process their order follow up during the night . They sent me an email at 1 am yesterday regarding my shipping address and since then nothing else

Ah.. thanx for info

Fastcardtech just emailed me 5 mins ago to tell me they will have to refund me as I am asking them to ship to different address than my paypal address/ They want me to change my paypal address and re order.
I think i ll just go ahead and buy from fruitsphone through western union

Really nice! i like the GooApple V5 3G, but is a litte overpriced.
Also i see that they are not so far with the IOS rom that they have build in the "NEDERLANDS" -> Dutch language.
So i think to wait when they made this working.
Possible that the fruitsphone will be faster to made this possible.

Jesus Christ.. They've had plenty of time to check it.. I've not heard anything from them yet. When the refund make sure they also refund the 4.5% taken by PayPal..
BTW when you then get a phone directly from fruitsphone we can compare them..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

thanks I will check. Am sure that in the transaction I will be losing somehow anyway as my bank must be charging me its fees for the credit card attached to paypal...grrr
I will post the pics of the fone when I get it. Fruitsphone.com seems to be serious enough on their website . lets hope I get something from them for my money..lol

Status for mine is now "shipped"
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Great . For my part am still struggling with my order. They cancelled the first one and are supposed to credit back my paypal within 24 hrs.
Once this is done I will order through them again as the option through Wertern Union is not interesting . WU charges 35 USD commission !

From what I read
there are two version of fruitsphone 4s
public version and retail version
Difference is the screen
Google translate does not translate well the taobao page.
Maybe its me and my antique pc
Hope to hear your reviews.
Thanks for the new thread....

Yeah its very difficult to navigate on the fruitsphone.com or Taobao. But what I found was that they are actually selling it at a higher price to the chinese market . The going rate for the 8 g on Toabao is Usd 240 and Usd 260 for the 16 g.
Thats higher than the Gooapple v5 3g.
Strange that fastcardtech does not have the 16g version. But I guess we will find out that its very easy to change the micro sd.

I have just bought a 16gb card class 6 at app. $20. Just need to buy the screwdriver when I get the phone.. Will do a unboxing video for sure..

Fastech has 2 fruitsphone but both are 3G and they
have different screen resolution.
Was it easy to order thru Fruitsphone.com??
I tried but the site wanted a phone number and I could not go beyond that.
Tried to google their ROM,but no such luck....
Thanks for the forum.... and the ROM in future )

Perso I have given up trying to order from Fruitsphone. While they seem to be a relatively serious company , their english comms is very poor and they only accept Western Union and the later charges almost 15% commission.
So I have reverted back to ordering from Fastcardtech. Will see what comes out of it.
To be able to download the root tools and rom package from fruitphone you have to insert yout imei in the forum to be awarded a vip status. Am registered on their forum but without a working imei , I cant proceed.
I guess it would be easier that the first one of us getting the phone to complete registration, get the roms and tools and post them here.
Am not due to get it before next week - status still unshipped with ''our honest pal'' at fastcardtech!!!

Mine is shipped (confirmed on mail from them) I've go tracking number but can't find any trace.. I did write them before I ordered, after my order was placed, before shipping and after shipping each time to make sure they did what they had to.. have a transcription in my mail.. still waiting for first step on route to be traceable.

Best place to purchase in US?

I'm looking to get a 3G P6800 and was wondering where others in the US purchased from?
Looks like NegriElctronics has them for $512 but I've never dealt with them before.
Thanks!

I, like a few members here, got it from them. Very reputable and fast shipping (at least in my case). They will be my go to retailer for future unlocked devices.

I have purchased products from On The Go Solutions for a number of years and they have been helpful. Not sure they are the cheapest but you get what you pay for and they work hard to deliver. they produced a second P6800 for me and the second had a 32 gb internal memory.

Got mine off of a 3rd party reseller on amazon and didn't get as good of a deal as that. Wish I had known about them. Oh well, still loving the 6800.

Im from germany ..... and got my p6800 from negri within 2 day express shipping!!!!
negri accept also amazon payment so for me it is also a save shop.
the service is fast ... you can instant communicate over the web!!!!
i hope this helps you

Darn cheap qi charger! But be aware!

Hey everyone!
Wanted to show you this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wireless-Charger-QI-TX01/705466062.html
I'm very very unsure if this seller is legit or what's the problem with the product. Because it can't be that cheap.
Anyway I did order two of them anyway . (With a secure card btw)
And will give you a input if (and thats a big "if")and when I get them.
Sincerely

lol 20 dollars would be cheap, $1.50 shipped from Guangdong is damn sketchy.

i would not even touch that. i dont even feel safe giving them my payment information

Thought it would be fun to show you this. Yeah, I think it's scetchy as well.
But I have a really safe payment option from my bank and I did really make a order on two of these. Most to see if it comes and if it comes to see what it really is. I can spend that 1.5$ to have a look.
I have ordered this as well:

How to buy/import htc u11+ in U.S.A?

Hello everyone,
There's a lot of us in the U.S. that want to purchase the u11+, but there's no official way to do so.. does anyone know of a website where we could purchase and import one?
UPDATE: 11/24/2017
: thanks to @Sammae7 AND @jauhien for the mobile Wanda and Amazon link! Couldn't find this when i originally searched on Amazon..
AMAZON
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077MLR9F...06-20&linkId=e70c2bb62fb55cf58e57281a34c3aff9
Another AMAZON (international, no warranty in U.S. afaik)

WONDA MOBILE
https://www.wondamobile.com/htc-u-11-plus-128-gb.html
Update! 11/30
Adding some more links from the past couple days. Looks like there is a new Amazon and Ebay listing.
Ebay!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HTC-U1...hash=item4b2eda47ec:m:mUfeT7wBiBwaQAI4jEHUOnw
Amazon!

Furthermore, to see if the device is compatible with your carrier, @santad040 has this nice link to a table showing carriers and bands. :victory::highfive:

Ebay is the obvious one, but can be sketchy.
Hopefully Wonda Mobile gets it. They have a lot of positive reviews.

I haven't yet but I frequent the Huawei Mate 10 board where quite a few people have used them. I'll probably be ordering a Mate 10 from them soon. They have fast shipping and pay import fees.

I noticed it was up. I'm seriously torn between the Mate 10 and U11 Plus. I need to do a serious band comparison to see which might work better on AT&T in the states.

Yeah I agree,
Would you mind making a little review here on xda? In this thread or another? I'd like to know your experience as someone in the U.S.
Like, I'd be interested if the DAC is still better than something in another phone like Samsung or OnePlus.. battery life, performance, etc. ?

The price on Wanda Mobile says 619 GBP inclusive of tax (VAT). But if we are getting it shipped outside of UK, should the tax (20%) be deducted from the sale price? Thanks

You can buy it in china,hongkong or taiwan. the chinese model is 4999RMB（about 750USD）,the hongkong model is 5688HKD.I bought chinese version week ago.

UK version is available now with 10% rebate!
Just import that one.

Just buy it from Anazon:

The dubious version sold on amazon by some dubious 3rd party reseller must therefore be the china,hongkong or taiwan version. It totally makes sense doesn't it.
