Hello,
I have been looking everywhere for the Nexus One desktop dock in Canada, but have not yet found a supplier. Would anyone know where's the best place to get one? Ebay is overpriced... I am looking anywhere from 50-70 USD.
Thanks.
bump... anyone?
I think you can buy one through android.com if you have a developer account. You might also try to order through http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/, but I'm not sure if they ship to North America.
I'm worried about where I'm going to get a replacement battery down the road. I always assumed that Google would continue to sell accessories after discontinuing the phone, but I guess they decided to give us a big middle finger instead.

Looking everywhere...
I called Nexus one support ---> tried to help me find one, but no avail.
I called america HTC shop ---> cannot use canadian based creditcard or paypal, they only ship to america. (i was actually okay with this since I could have asked my friend to send it over to me once received)
I checked accessory shop at UK (non in canada) ---> they do ship to canada, but they are out of stock until september 5th. Plus shipping is expensive
I checked ebay ---> I'm not going to bother explaining this one
I checked Amazon ---> 120 (with shipping). too expensive.
I'm getting pissed off now. Way to go google. This is the first time I'm questioning google's marketing team.
I have a pretty much brand new one for sale if you like. Think I've used it twice all up since I got it with my N1 5 months ago from the US?
I am based in Australia but am happy to ship worldwide.
I have sent you a PM.
cheers
Hey I am new here
I am flying to the UK (London) in the end of May, and I wanted to ask if someone who lives in London knows any store there that sells Sim-Free HTC Phones? Basically I am asking that because I want to buy the HTC Sensation and I have only 4 days in London so I want to be prepared.
If there are several stores, I would like to hear all of them if you can or the cheapest+most reliable one (as much as possible ofcourse).
You'll have to buy if from vodophone unlocked
Sure it is possible?
And thanks for the comment.
I am not sure Vodafone sell unlocked phones. Your best bet will be any Carphone Warehouse store. All their phones are unlocked. If you ask to buy PAYG, you will save about £50 on the sim-free price but the good thing is you get the same phone you would have got if you bought it sim-free + you get a number and £10 or £20 credit to use while you are in London.
First, Thanks!
Second, I searched for the store near my Hotel and I found one really nearby so now I want to ask another question, if you have experience buying phones from them or heard something, Do they overprice? I mean here where I live I can go to the store and the price will be 800 pound and in Amazon it will be 600 pound for example.. not that huge differences but I hope you got my point.
Third, Do they get the last phones usually after they come out? because if it's said that the Sensation will come out on mid May, and I am coming on end May, I hope they'll have it by then.
Carphone Warehouse!
As far as I'm aware, Vodafone have it exclusively for May then other retailers will start selling in June, so you may be out of luck I'm afraid

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?
Everybody know when Zen 3 Ultra release?
Asus hasn't provided information regarding the availablity, but you could expect it to be available in Q3.
At the website Tweakers they talk about august, september. One thing i like with Samsung is that afther a presentation, the phone is some weeks later in the stores. I want a Zen 3 Ultra now!!!
If the unit comes in August or September , it should identify in which cases Asus has just cut back .

I want this phone too, but i'm worried about band comparability with t-mobile. Band 12 specifically, looking at this and the zte axon 7.
Asia first on 12 july :s
http://m.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_...ultra_to_go_on_sale_next_month-news-19107.php
From the asus website specifications there looks to be a CN and WW version with different frequency bands.
I wonder if the 12th July date is just for a CN/TW version and the WW version will be later on?
This looks like the phone for me. I had no problem with the size of my 7" Huawei X1 but software was terrible and reception flaky, my Sony UltraZ 6.4" has been fine but after using a 7" screen everything else seems too small. Hope it hits the Australian market soon.
6.8-inch ZenFone 3 Ultra will be released on July 27.
Asus plans to start with shipments of the ZoneFone 3 model to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and by August will ship all models to the three markets as well as to Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.
Shipment will later be expanded to Japan, Italy and the United States.

When you say "this seller" it'd help if you provided a link, so people could know what you're talking about... If you mean Kiletrading seller - his version is of no use to me, or anyone in USA - doesn't support US LTE bands. I need bands 2,4,12 for T-Mobile - all missing.

You can order the 3GB/32GB version now, dispatch: ships between Aug 18 - Aug 20 I wait for 4GB/64GB, but still in arrival notice
I've just got mine yesterday in Malaysia. The phone is a perfect replacement for my Sony Xperia Z Ultra, as they share similar dimensions and weights, yet the screen is much larger and the speaker sounds awesome!
Finally one site that ships internationally has Ultras on sale. DealExtreme, about $640, all three colors, only 4GB/64GB version. I think it's the international/non-Chinese version. For mysterious reasons, the gray color is more expensive than other two.
Note that you might not be able to combine your phone order with any other article because they seem to keep stuff in various warehouses and can't collect it into a single shipment. You can only combine Ultra with stuff that has their internal code starting with 852. So far they seem not to have any additional matching items like cases or screen protectors.

Seems like I spoke to soon, they have just put the phone for sale on their site, but one cannot actually buy it. They've cancelled my order without explanation.
Does anyone have any idea when the UK shipments will be going out? Has anyone preordered from Clove? I am US based and patiently waiting my shiny new S8+. It seems the US based orders have already started rolling out so hopefully we see some movement for the UK devices next week.
Xpost from S8+

Clove-sold S8's aren't pre-orders. We've bought and paid for one when they receive stock. I'd imagine it'll be first come first serve from the stock they receive. The UK launch date is April 28 so I'd assume UK resellers will start receiving stock a week ahead. So ours could be shipped out some time next week potentially. But it all depends on when Clove receives stock (and how much) which could be as late as launch day (April 28). I hope I get it before my 14 day return is up for the AT&T S8+ I pre-ordered. Clove is pretty communicative so I'm sure they'll keep us updated.

Good to know, thanks for the update. I know it's technically not a preorder as it deducted the payment immediately however wasn't sure about stock levels or shipment dates. I've seen a lot of rumors around items being sent around the 19th I'm the UK.
A few retailers and some networks in the UK are offering the phone 8 days earlier than the official release date of 28th April. The 28th is when all places will have stock, which also applies to places like Amazon UK. The 8 day thing is just an irritating marketing ploy which favours some places who probably agree to promote the brand over another.

The big resellers and wireless carriers that have deep relationships with Samsung will mostly abide by the rules Samsung applies. Others will be a bit more renegade. The problem with shipping them early is Samsung's support won't be fully prepared to deal with inquiries. Samsung's UK site doesn't even have the manual available yet.

That is true. Anyway, Clove is one of my preferred companies and I have used them for about 10 years now.
First time using clove and seems like so far the experience is good. If it is, I will stick to them as they have the phone even cheaper than the US options which isn't bad for some of the software trades off. Regardless, seems like we won't be getting ours until the first week of may. They need to get the stock, then open to make the 5 minute call. Then close it back and ship it out to us. Im expecting mine the week of may 5th

The "U" versions of the S7-series Samsung sold weren't all they were cracked up to be. Devs sniffing around in the code found that the ROM was really the T-Mobile version with T-Mobile's proprietary stuff stripped out. But T-Mobile was referenced numerous times in the code. Samsung also totally neglected them update wise. AT&T got nougat out before Samsung did for the U's. It's still not out. So basically you'll be getting a carrier phone with the carrier stuff removed or hidden and no updates. And still no HD Voice or NumberSync if you're on AT&T. You're better off going for a "real" unlocked "F" from a region that gets regular updates. Only downside of an F over a U is the lack of U.S. warranty support.
And I believe the F has Exynos and U Snapdragon... With the phones unusual requirement of a UK Sim to unlock, once the procedure has been completed, are we sure to get updates even while on a non-UK network?

Yes we'll get the updates. When I have the international s7 edge from Singapore, I flashed firmwares from any country that got updates first via Odin.

Updates aren't carrier dependent, they're directly from Samsung. So any time BTU S8's get updated we'll get updated. I have a Singaporean NotePRO 12 that's 2 years old with an AT&T SIM in it that just received an update last week. It surprised me because Samsung disowns their devices after a year to 18 months.
Just a heads up, if you ordered from Clover Tech they are stating they don't expect any stock until the 28th. Kinda sucks as I pre-ordered from them being in the US and all I didnt have much of a choice for the Eyxnos variant anyways. Other suppliers in UK are already shipping but it looks like Clover is not a supplier such as Very, Samsung themselves and carriers.
It sucks but to be fair it is clearly stated on the product page. Looks like we will get it around may 4th. They are talks that Best Buy will carry the U version on the 9th but nothing official yet.
If the phone releases on the 28th in the UK, wouldn't shipment be he wet of the 4th? Think DHL will have it to us by end of week that week?

OP and I are in the US and Clove expects to ship no earlier than friday the 28th, so we can't get it before early May. That's assuming it ships on the first day. They also have to unlock all international orders prior to shipping.
As stated above. Clove unfortunately won't have stock until the 28th and at that , the guy i spoke to used the word 'hopefully' so he didn't exactly fill me with confidence that he will definitely have stock on the 28th! I reckon we will have our phone in the first week of may at best and thats hoping clove receive enough stock otherwise some of us may not receive our phones until the following week
I already canceled my US bound order because i was afraid of having to return it to the UK due to the red tint screen. According to a Best Buy employee, they will sell the unlocked version late april or early may (BH photo has it as an overpriced preorder for early may delivery as well), so it will probably not make a big difference on the delivery date... I've also read on the best buy product Q&A (granted it is far from being an official source) that Samsung will update the unlocked version monthly instead of quarterly like on the S7.

I am on the verge of having mine canceled from Clove.
They recently e-mailed my wife, whom paid for the phone as a birthday gift, stating that they'd need further verification when she already went through some to actually charge the card on a UK based website to begin with (obviously not Clove's fault, but it was an annoyance nonetheless). They e-mailed her stating that they need a specific authorisation code from the card issuer, as there's a unique one for every transaction, to continue the order. With the phone releasing 2 days from now, it stands to reason that I will not be receiving the phone any time soon since they've started this b.s. My wife's gone through her bank and they have no authorisation code to give her, and only told her to tell Clove that they can contact them if they need any further verification. The card has already been charged, and it appears on a statement too.. why wait until 2 days before the phone releases to send an e-mail stating that they need further proof? Sounds like bull**** they've conjured up because they don't have the supply for the amount of preorders they received.
Complete bollocks I reckon. If they don't reply back and nothing happens in 2 days, I'm going to get my wife to cancel it and buy it somewhere else. This sort of shotty/shady business is distasteful.
