Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html
I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?
I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.
Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

goin' to florida months end and will pick one up there and ask them to unlock it seeing that i'm canadian (may work)!! then try it on wind and see how it goes...
if anyone finds a good deal that ships to Canada pls let us know too
and btw if anybody has tried any of those sites, would u pls tell how much it cost u?
I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.
Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?
So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it
i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it
If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.
I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.
Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

There is already a thread for US pre-orders so I thought I might start one for the UK.
The only place I have found so far is that Amazon.de have pre-orders for three versions and they will, of course, ship to the UK.
599€ (less than £500 at today's rates) for the 64Gb gold without dock
719€ for the 64Gb gold with dock
and 727.98€ for the grey 64Gb with dock.
As Amazon don't charge your card before shipping, I have pre-ordered the gold one without the dock as I am hopeful the TF201 dock will fit the TF700T. See my separate thread about this.
Please post any information you get about other sources.
EDIT: Just to add that if you order from Amazon.de with shipping to the UK, they adjust the price to account for the higher VAT rate in the UK.
thanks for these, i'd missed this! is there any indication as to when amazon.de will ship?
another possiblity for UK orders is komplett.ie , who claimed to be aiming to have the TF700T available, with international layout dock, by yesterday, so with some luck they may be in stock monday, then shipping to the UK could be done through postal forwarding at not to high a cost.

Not so far as I am aware. Often Amazon.de get this sort of stuff before the UK but, as they don't charge your card until they ship, you can cancel if you see a better or quicker source without any penalty.
Keep in mind: amazon.de sells the german version which has a qwertz-keyboard. I'm not sure about umlaute, but I guess the key dock has them, too.
Also, the power-supply would be for CEE7/16, which to my knowledge is not usable in UK.
I am currently looking at ordering one from the Netherlands, which should have US-international keyboard, but also CEE7/16

Do komplett.ie ship to the UK? When I looked at other komplett sites, they did not mention international shipping.

Good point but I plan on getting the dockless version so that should not be an issue. And I'm sure the good folks at XDA will enable me to put on the UK firmware pretty soon after release.

Can you explain, please? I thought Germany uses the same power system as in the UK (and also in Spain where we also stay frequently) with just a different plug. I bought my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Amazon.de and am not aware of a problem with the charger.

I was talking about the plug only. It's not that easy to find an adapter that goes "the other way round", most available sets are "local female, foreign male". To use a foreign power plug you will need "foreign female, local male" - if you know that and have access to the correct adapter, everything is fine.

Not yet, have only found komplett.nl, but they do not offer international shipping on their website. Have contacted them about it and am waiting for their response.
If you don't mind overpaying a bit, it looks like easynotebooks.de have a very few grey with dock and gold without dock that they will ship to the UK. They also sell through Amazon.de but it seems that you cannot get it shipped to the UK going via their Amazon store.
Total cost for the gold without dock comes to nearly 660€ with shipping! When Amazon have them, it will be about 612€ so you're definitely paying for being an early adopter.

Alternate.nl allows for international orders (in my case to Germany), plus they list the TF700T 64GB with Dock for pre-orders.
I had problems with their ordering-process and contacted their sales-team - they were really quick and my pre-order is placed with them now. Shipment will be 10,95 Euros vom NL to DE.
komplett.nl whom i contacted last weekend did not respond to me at all.
I ordered an standard one without dock from easynotebooks.de yesterday. The total cost was £570. They shipped UPS Standard same day and it should arrive here tomorrow :victory:
Uk really is an Awesome Country!

I hope you're using the AT&T variant. Without the latest update, the wireless charger might show some problems that many of us had in past.
I'm on T-Mobile, but I have the latest update on my phone. I just updated it yesterday or the day before.

Only way to know is to wait and see. Either way, I'm sure they will release the update if they didn't yet for that annoying issue. It was only with Samsung Wireless Chargers (not the fast wireless charger) because it interacts with phone. Any third party chargers were working just fine!
Ordered mine! Thanks for the heads up!
So I downloaded the samsung pay apk and the framework apk on my verizon s6 edge+.
Got my BOA card in the app but now it's waiting approval. Wasn't able to redeem my coupon just yet.

I got the wallet case just yesterday. Use the order confirmation email to track your package. It was sitting on "Boxed" status till last Wednesday and then suddenly got a mail in the evening that it has been shipped. Next day the delivery guy was at my place although I wasn't available so I got it on his second attempt yesterday. The case looks good although I can't see the notification LED anymore. Also, I ordered mine on the first day of the offer itself. If you see, I started this thread

I got an email from Samsung last week saying that the wireless charger orders are on a back-order. I wouldn't get my hopes up, at least until this month.
This thread is for Europe pre-orders
Just ordered 64gb Orchid Gray S8. Decided on S8 rather than S8+ I figured a 5.7" screen was big enough!
This is my first ever Samsung phone, coming from OnePlus 3T. Really like the screens they are amazing.
Would be interested to know more about the processor and if bootloader will be unlockable like US versions. Actually with the 3T I just kept it locked and stock as well.
The US versions will be unlockable? What's your source on that? Word has been they will continue to lock all North American Snapdragons as has been their recent policy. The international on the other hand has remained unlockable and the conventional wisdom is it will remain so for the time being.
Where did you buy?
For the US version, I was looking at threads here, but admit did not go into a lot of detail in them. I bought directly from Samsung. I dislike carphone warehouse I had a pre-order for an HTC 10 with them, decided to cancel. What they didn't tell me at time of canceling was rather than getting automatically re-funded I got credit instead. I was just inside the window to get the money charged back to my account.
Also decided to go for the orchid grey as it looked amazing as well!
I'll wait three months or four. Then i might get the S8!
I was told by many stores that you can test the S8 and S8+ yourself beginning tomorrow 31.03.2017.
Sadly no promotions for us in Europe at all. Asked many stores across Germany, Switzerland, Austria as well as UK.

Ordered both from Samsung shop UK (wasn't sure what size I wanted) but noticed CPW in the uk were offering a free Bluetooth speaker with pre orders (Don't need one but it's free, and more than samsung are offering)
So decided to cancel both my samsung pre orders and just ordered the S8 from CPW with free gift.

I have gone for the S8+ through O2 and you get a free speaker with them. Went into their store today and had a play on the S8 and S8+. Glad I have gone for the latter as it isn't as big as I feared. The size is actually really nice and both models look even more stunning in person.

Verizon has an online deal at the moment where the Moto Insta-Share Projector is free when you purchase any Moto-Mod!
The cheapest Moto-Mod available that is in-stock is the Kate Spade Style Shell for $39.99. Plus shipping is FREE.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/moto-mods/
Notes:
* You do not need to have a Verizon phone to purchase accessories on the Verizon site.
* This CAN be combined with an employee discount if you currently get a discount on your Verizon bill through your employer, however you may need to add it to your cart BEFORE you log in, otherwise it may only show a 25% discount instead of the free projector offer. With my employee discount the case is only $29.99. Not all employee discounts include discounts on accessories.
Cool deal, I just can't see a use for it, for me anyways.
Sadly, the projector is sold out on their website right now.

Wow, if so then that is stupid, since they don't even show the projector on their motomod page.
Unfortunately there is no specific info listed for the offer. Usually the free projectors are fulfilled through Motorola. That is how I got my "free with z2" projector.
With all the free projector offers lately, I have to wonder if there is a Projector V2.0 coming sometime soon. Would be nice to have higher resolution on the projector.

you have to search for it to find it.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/motorola-projector-moto-mod-black/
i bet the projector just isn't selling so they are getting rid of stock by making people buy other moto mods. trying to get people hooked into the moto mod market.
Here is every accessory that Verizon has for motorola on their site. https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/motorola/
Was able to pick up this deal in store. Has to be a verizon store. Not authorized dealer.
It may be best to check it out in a Verizon store. I went in and found my local store had several projectors in stock, as well as a plethora of other Moto Mods. Be prepared though, if your not a Verizon customer, be prepared for a pushy salesperson. The person who sold me the mods were constantly asking me to switch, even after I said no.
If you didn't had the chance to get one, or for everybody outside the US:
a lot people from the US are selling their free 'Projector Mods' on ebay.com. I bought the 'Insta Share' Mod at 73€ (88$) - brand new and sealed. It took 2 Weeks to deliver and today it arrived. ...in Europe they cost around 300€
