Where to purchase Z5 when it comes out? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks,
I've been an avid Sony fan since the first Z, but now it's getting harder and harder to get one here in the US. Does anyone have any information about where to purchase this amazing phone in the US wen it comes out?

get it from clove.co.uk. Price is cheaper than any other international store I've seen so far (~$666 after conversion)
there hasn't been any word on an official US release date, but Clove says 1st week of October elsewhere around the world.

Thanks, I checked it out, but it seems like $600 is before VAT and before shipping.... It will end up like $800 just for the regular z5. :crying:

VAT isnt included if you're an international buyer. Shipping is £17 extra, so the total comes to £454 which is $700 last i checked.

Thanks for the info. Is that price for the Z5 or the premium?

For the normal z5. You can check for the premium price. Maybe around £500...

Guess I'll be waiting a little longer or just get the Z4 instead, those prices are so high.

I pre-ordered it from Handtec.co.uk .. cheaper than Clove.

Clove ship it with a free BSP10 speaker

I am debating whether to not accept delivery of the OnePlus 2 I am suppose to get today. Or buy this... 300 dollar difference.

Rofl. At least there is one sane person in this subsection (IMO)
Make that 3, aint no freakin way im paying 1g for any phone, I dont care if it wipes my butt for me and calls me daddy.
Im waiting for my 6800 to really take a dump or accidentally get coughranoverbymytruckcough and then exchange it and pay the balance or something like that. To shell out that kind of money, albeit for a gnarly phone is just way out of line.
$1078 in the US at smart-mobile-gadgets.com
£524.99 in the uk from ebay, company and ebay store called cdsolutions. cant believe i got it already! well worth it.

Depends on the company you're ordering from, usually you don't have to pay VAT for export phones. But you'll still have to pay the 7% gst at the customs if you declare it to be more than 400 sgd.
You intending to get one from where?

Was thinking of getting one either from the UK or expansys HK. Emailed expansys HK last week and the staff said that even though its not on the website yet, its available for pre-order and stock should be in by tomorrow (18/08/2008) its going for HK$7000. Shipping will be another HK$150 to Singapore. Are you from Singapore too?
You guys are also impatient lawl. Those of you in the US, can get a AT&T Fuze soon enough for about $550/$650 w/o contract.

...and, Doh!!! I paid £480 for mine about 7 weeks ago. Sigh. I wonder if people have stopped buying them because of some of the possible issues!

You got to love and hate hotdeals.
It is without doubt a bargain, if you want one and can afford it, I believe that people on that site just vote cold on anything they dont want or cant afford or dont understand, shame really.

Thanks for that - i've been waiting for play.com to have a 10% discount which would have only bought the price down to £432(approx).
This is a great price - i only hope they don't say its a mistake as it looks like one (its cheaper than the Diamond which is £363.39).
It Should arrive on Thursday - just ordered it now.

I've decided to give a WM phone a go again and ordered myself.
To start with I'll just use it with a data sim, to see what its like, as you can't knock a blackberry for staying in touch with IM etc, but Im just so bored of the crap browser experience and lack of software like Live Mesh, which I use one hell of a lot to keep things synced.
I'll use both for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Looks like they have discovered it - gone back up to £466.89 without postage.
Good thing i bought mine
LOL! I don't feel so sick now ; )
spark9990, when your new pro arrives, please could you take a look at what version ROM it ships with now? (start/settings, system tab, device information - though I'm sure you'll know that already). Congratulations on getting such a great price!!!

Had they sent emails to you both confirming dispatch? If so then then I guess they had entered into a contract with you... talk to Trading Standards for a firm answer....

I don't have proof of that - but i do have a receipt, and they did take money out of my account.
Then without my permission carried out a refund transaction. I trying to find out how to contact trading standards but in the mean time i am going to try to reason with sellers.
In a retail store, if a product is tagged as a cheaper price by mistake, then the retailer has to give it at that price.
If Handtec had debited your back account/credit card account, then they had entered into a contract with you to supply that item at that price. Speak to both Trading Standards and Handtec about it and make sure you can demonstrate that they had taken your dosh. All you did is select a product on Handtec's website in good faith and, for their part, it would appear that they too entered into that contract to suppply it, so I suggest they honour it!
EDIT: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, and they should have an entry in your local phone book. Kent is 0845 7585497 (just in case - good luck!)

Thats not true. Most big stores (such as Tesco) will sell you at the quoted price for the good will. By Law they infact have something like 24 hours to correct the price once notified by a customer, during which time they can sell at a different price than is quoted.
That is really bad!
I thought maybe it had something to do with stock levels, but if it got to the depot, you think they would have realised!
Hope you get a response from them or Trading Standards

What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!

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..

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 buy it from Anazon:

There is pre-order on India Amazon but you need to pay INR1000 to pre book and you will not know the cost of the phone until 17th. This preorder is available till 16th may which means the pre-order is a blind poker.

As far as i know its going to be around 40k in india. Lets see the price today at 4 o'clock. If my guess is right the base variant will be aroung 35 to 36k which is still good pricing in my opinion
So the price in india is 34999 for 64gb n 6gb ram
39999 for 128 gb with 8gb ram
And avenger edition 8gb ram 256 gb rom at a price of
44999
