Just wonderind. Im in UK and fancy the Z3. Is ot bast for me to buy from the sony mobile store at £529 and get the sbh80s free or should i wait for say the three store to get it. Does sony generally sell it before anyone else or do carriers get it to buy cheaper. I dont mind if its sim locked as i can flash to generic. Any help as i might to preorder to get the phone on time.

Hi!, dunno if this is the correct forum but I figured it was either here on in the general Nexus 5 so hope it's right .
I'm in Argentina and will be spending 10 days in NYC during the second part of January. I want to buy a N5 but I'm not sure where to do it since they are way too overpriced in both Amazon and ebay and I can't buy them directly from the play store because it's blocked from my country and I'm not sure what the shipping times would be in case I manage to order it from there once I'm in the US (some friends told me that to buy through the US play store you need a US credit card too).
I know there are some retailers that sell it but do they sell it unlocked or only with contracts with carriers?. Any other options to try to buy one?.
Thanks!.
Check out Best Buy!
Yeah, I checked there and it only has the 16GBs model and ~$150 more expensive than the play store (and even more expensive than the 32GBs version in Amazon which is at around $450).
I think bestbuy just sells sprint version.its locked

Well any store you buy it in is going to have it marked up from the Play Store because that's just how the US is. It sucks, but yeah.
You should find a broker willing to ship it to you from the US. Meaning: you give them money, they buy the phone, they get the phone, they ship the phone to you. Simple!

No, it is NOT locked.
You can buy the unlock version in Best Buy but according to their website they only have the 16GBs version.
All nexus 5s are the same they're all unlocked for use

Had anyone found a retailer that sells either version the z3 for AT&T on contract or Next? I'm on Verizon and today they lost my business permanently. I want this phone but T-Mobile is no good in my area. I need to change to AT&T but I didn't realize they don't sell it. I need to buy one for me and another for my wife so buying them outright is really not an option. Thanks!

AT&T doesn't currently offer any Sony phones on contract and haven't since the Ion about three years ago.

Thanks! I was hoping to find a third party selling it like Wirefly. Sometimes they sell phones not sold by the actual carrier but I haven't had any luck

Sony Store appears to offer financing. I bought outright and use on AT&T (wife and myself) and its great. Also paying about $50 less per month because of it. So you could probably finance it out and pay about the same.
Expansys-usa is where I bought mine. Anyone who walks into a phone store and buys a smartphone is stupid (imho). Unless of course it's the cheapest one they sell.
As long as you're the account holder just call them and have them send you a nano sim card. Once you get it call back and activate it.

So im trying to buy the phone over craigslist and this what the guy said
"It is in as like new condition as one can be without being sealed in the box. This is the newer model that has a micro and nano Sim tray and no Cyanogen branding."
Is he telling the truth ?, because i think the phone is the chinese version
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Pretty sure he's trying to scam you, the OPO didn't come with dual sim slots. And no branding? Maybe if it was painted or something but I'd stay away from it.
It does come with both the trays and no cyanogen on the back these days so I think it's the real deal. You can always check the model number in settings and the software it is running

Don't buy off craigslist, just buy direct from OnePlus, that way you know you're getting the real deal.

Does he have the manual that came with it? It will not have english if it's the chinese version.
Unless your getting some crazy deal, it would be dumb to buy it from Craigslist for convenience. As @timmaaa said, buy from opo. Tuesday is open for purchases.

Need to get my hands on the Moto X Play. Anyone able to get one from sasktel in canada? They seem to be the cheapest out there with the option to buy the device outright from a store.
Please let me know asap
Thanks guys and gals!
You might want to hold on there. From what I've read, all the Canadian devices are network locked...
Telus says theirs are carrier locked
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
from what I gather, your best bet for acquiring a USA GSM compatible and unlocked Moto X Play is to go with one from Brazil with model number XT1536. The question now is how to get one from that country and not pay too much extra fees for it. On a side note, I noticed all the Canadian carriers seem to carry the 16GB model only. i know memory is expandable but i'd prefer more onboard storage due to faster read/write access plus better memory chips used vs. your typical microsd card.
They're carrier locked but from what a Bell representative told me, you can pay them 50 (unlocking fee) and then you can unlock the phone yourself / other people to get it to work outside the carrier.

Hey thanks for the heads up man. i thought the brazilian one was also compatible but wanted to see if canada was easier. If it unlocked from brazil it may be a better buy.
Real problem is that conversion really sucks... $300 usd for the one from canada and $400 usd for the one from brazil

If you want- I can get you the one from Canada- I noticed you were in NYC which isn't too far from where I am- it is $449+tax CAD + $50 unlocking fee + whatever shipping would be to you.
Let me know! I had to go through so much trouble to get one even though I'm already in Canada already ahha- but no regrets at all! Awesome phone.

500 dollars??? better off getting the moto style
Does the Sasktel one come with the Turbo Charger? I saw an article on MobileSyrup that mentioned Koodo is one of two carriers that includes the turbo charger, but didn't see anything more.
Here in Alberta there's no sales tax, so getting it from Koodo may not be a bad idea (if they'll sell outright). I'm considering buying one, but only if I can get it outright.

Hey it looks like if you go into a koodo store you should be able to buy it sim free from them. Do they have stores in alberta? you willing to go and check it out?
Yes they do. If you can give me until tomorrow, I'll go have a look (I'm probably going to grab one if they have it in stock.
I actually have a Koodo account, so I shouldn't have a problem buying it without the 2-yr term.

Awesome dude let us know the total cost with tax after you get it. i am very interested.
Moto x play is smaller the the LG G4 in all ways except thickness....who cares with that huge battery!
BTW it is confirmed why we dont have it in the USA.... http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/25/droid-maxx-2-verizon/
I got my Moto X Play from Koodo today. While I did upgrade from my tab, I also confirmed it's $430.50 outright here in Alberta ($410 + 5% GST).

Motorola are extremely cheap to unlock... The last few I did were around 5 bucks
Has anyone figured out how to get the 2nd SIM slot to work on the Canadian variant?
I'm planning to buy a z5, not z5p (worry about the battery due to the 4k screen) but does anyone where can pre-order? I can't find the page on any sonymobile websites.
thanks buddy,
Which country? And to buy outright or on a contract?

well I'm in China, but I can buy from US. out right only.
http://www.clove.co.uk/smartphones/sony in the uk have them on preorder at the minute. They're reliable and I have had my last few phones from them. Premium is currently expected early November, Standard Z5 and the Compact 1st week October, and they appear to deliver to China. They sell UK versions so not sure how that would go down with the frequencies you use in China etc. and it would come with a UK style charger. Prices might also fluctuate until they get final confirmation of how much they are actually going to be.
Hi ,
It is very important here to mention the name of your couyhntry and make sure decision what product is the best for you .Then ask question .Otherwise your question is blury that why i suggest you mention the country name and fixed the product name. Then it will very easy to give your answer.ok
I am located in the USA and I would like to get the Z5 premium. I can't find anywhere to order it. Why is it so difficult to get this phone in America?
