I got my Chinese oneplus one on Ali express never herd of them before I bought it but went 4 the plunge and it took 13 days for delivery other people got there quicker depends really
Its from Hong Kong and no custom fees as well
Sent from my One using XDA Free mobile app

Gumtree mate there quite reasonable priced on there that's most likely where I may get 1 from

The best way: wait for an invite and purchase directly from OnePlus.

I go to london the 11 of august...
I have an oneplus one 16 gb,
I want to change for galaxy S5, nexus 5 or iPhone 5S.
If you like send me an private messge.
Thanks

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.

I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h

If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.

Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain

Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.
Regards to all XDA community,
Paco.

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda

Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

[Q] Best place to order from

I'd like to get opinions on the best website to order a Galaxy Note Edge/any cellphone from ?
Personal preferences would be:
- retailer wouldn't try to repackage and sell a returned/used cell phone as "new"
- has a good track record and reputation amongst customers
- keeps the customers up to date on current status of order/preorder(example: availability, current status, tracking information, etc.)
I previously considered Negri Electronics(www.negrielectronics.com), but I see that the owner sold the company late last year and it seems the website is no longer functioning for the past few days(or maybe it's just down).
Thanks in advance for your replies!

This will be my 5 th device ordered on www.clove.co.uk . Never had a problem , pretty happy with it .
I've already placed a pre-order for a black Edge
Cheers

Thanks Tossero for the info and link. I've heard about Clove a few times before. I've never directly ordered from a retailer outside of the U.S.(where I am located). I did however receive an iPad direct from China but I had ordered from the Apple Store online.
Do you live in the same country as Clove ?

Thanks Tossero. I'm putting Clove on my list as a possible retailer to buy from. Any other users from the United States purchase from Clove before ?

*Since September 2013, Samsung have implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only have access to the “European” models of new Samsung stock. The compatible countries are listed at the end of the product description.
All member states of the E.E.A and the following additional territories: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M), Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia and Vatican City.
So Clove will not work for us north americans (I'm from Canada)

Wow, looks like I dodged a bullet there. Thanks for the very helpful info iZack187. I had no clue about this and was really considering that company.

Just received from clove:
Recently you placed an order for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - Black that was on pre-order and didn't have a price.
The product release date has now been confirmed as mid October and the price is £541.67 + vat.
If you would like to now pay for your complete order then please follow the link below.

Thanks danilos2k.
That's very useful info -- now we know it will at least be released mid October in certain parts of the world. This is good because I'm hoping it will arrive here in the U.S. before November.

Indeed... as much as I would love to believe that... Samsung did specify that the Note Edge will come at a premium price, and 541 euros does not sound premium at all... I'm expecting between 900 and 1200 USD$...

From Clove site :"IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE."

Now you're making me wonder... is there going to be TWO variants of the Note Edge?? One for SnapDragon and one for Exynos?? Or is it going to be a unified build...? I would really need to know this...

According to phonearena : http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-...rmance-according-to-latest-benchmarks_id61047 there are two versions of the Note Edge .
Maybe Exynos for the asian market and the Snapdragon for the rest of the world ?

Holy $%&!... I really hope the SnapDragon version is not as horrible as described! lol
"with scores comparable with the now aging Note 3" is the last thing I need to hear when I'm looking to upgrade my Note 3...

Thanks tossero! This is nice to know and at least makes me consider Clove once again.

[Q] Anyone think this will be available in the UK?

I think they said they'd release this in 'select' markets. Really want this phone but don't wanna have to order it from abroad.

Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:
We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.
If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.
More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/09/15/s...ble-uk-launch/
Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.

[Q] where to purchase the white d6603 model?

I am looking for the white model of this phone, and was originally waiting for handtec to have it available, but speaking to the customer service rep has told me that it wont be available until possibly the end of this month at the least. That really sucks. I looked ar clove and the price is much higher than handtec, something that I dont want to do if I have patience. Currently, handtec has the phone for £417 which is the lowest while clove is offering it at £439. Does anyone have a preference over another when purchasing? Is there another source offering competitive pricing that I should research? Thanks in adnace for your help.
I am in the united states if that makes a difference as well

Clove is your only bet right now as they are the only ones I can think of offering the white 6603 unlocked and will ship outside the UK.
I'm just going to wait another week for the Sony press conference in New York to see when the phone is coming to the States.
It will be available in Canada on October 29th.

Mate 9 Pro-> Available at all? in U.S.?

The Porsche Design is incredibly expensive. But they have announced a Mate 9 Pro, and is on their web site here. But no information on versions, or places to purchase.
Google search not turning anything up either.
Seems like this time of year would be good time to get this stuff out there and available.

It's only a limited release so far.
It's available in China, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Your only way of getting it would probably be to import a Chinese version. I've yet to see a Nordic shop ship internationally even though it would probably be preferable (albeit more expensive) to get one from a Nordic country.
Other than that, you can only cross your fingers and hope it sees a wider release. I'm guessing they're testing to see the reception of a curved amoled display for future devices.

Thanks

Sweden and most of the others appears to be pre order from 20th.
i've found a couple of shops in sweden that will ship to other countries when they do have stock...

If you find out where the Pro is available for purchase online, please post.

Yeah, a lot of people like me have interest on this Model.

Sure. Likewise, of course.

Misco in sweden will post overseas but they only taking pre orders and are not guaranteeing it'll be instock by 20th. They said telcos will get them first so maybe try them....

Yup. It sure is. Although it is not available from a supplier in the U.S.
One of my concerns about purchasing a phone that would not be from a vendor in the U.S. is support. Even if the support is 'good', timing for handling would be an issue, I presume. Maybe my concern is not valid...I don't know.
The other thing for me is if I purchase a phone (especially one in that price range) I want to be able to evaluate it for at least a couple weeks and return it if it's not for me for whatever reason. The Oneplus 3 has a 14 day policy, and the Axon 7 has 30 days.

I talked to Huawei customer support today inquiring about the Mate 9 Pro because I have been wanting to get one but was told that they do not recommend buying it from 3rd party vendors or sellers and there is no warranty for the international version of the phone if you use it in the U.S.
Well, that ended my hopes of getting an expensive unlocked phone. Might as well wait for the upcoming phones...

Some re-sellers offer warranty support.
I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had to use warranty service for any of my smartphones. I've been searching but can't find any places selling this phone in silver/gray at a decent price... most are $1,000+. I already got burned when I bought my international Mate 9 (lost $200 when I sold it after the unexpected U.S. release).

Very valid. I bought a Mate 9 Pro in the USA via a seller on ebay. The sellers post just said huawei has 12 month warranty. Which is true. Just incomplete
After i received the device, i could figure out:
Huawei does not seem to have global warranty support == you need to send in the device for any form of repairs to the country where it is originally from.
My device seems to be from Taiwan, but that is just conjecture by me because the packaging has a URL from Taiwan on it. Alas, the Taiwanese Huawei site is one of the few that does not have online warranty check and when i sent an email to them from the webpage to inquire about my warranty status, i never got a reply. Maybe they can not or do not want to talk english. Or deal with overseas sold units customers.
Aka: i guess i am pretty much out of luck wrt. warranty unless i learn chinese and jump into a plane to taipeh. Which could be fun . But i guessed something like that to be the situation before i bought the phone, so no big surprise.

i got my mate 9 pro from ebay too. and it's also from taiwan. it's the gray one and it's only $878 + intl express shipping. i think it's the cheapest gray mate 9 pro coz some sellers from aliexpress sells it for even more than $1000 coz it's very rare. and they are selling the chinese version too. mine's international, i got it after 5 days here in new zealand via dhl. didn't have pay any import dutiesas well. the seller only sold 4 of these and i was one of the luckiest to grab the sale. here's the link:

That is a great price! Gray does seem to cost a lot more because it's unavailable mostly... there's a AL00 (China) model open box on eBay, but I'm afraid of dealing with annoyances from buying a Chinese model.
I've just ordered the gold via Amazon Prime for $889. At least that way I actually CAN easily return the phone and get my money back if I don't like it... or if Huawei does a release in the U.S. soon I won't get screwed.

I think I might have seen the same listing on Amazon as you for the gold one. But I got my gold model m9pro for $773 with free shipping (no tax) on ebay. it was a great deal and have been loving the phone. I got the C636 build which I believe is the European version but could be wrong.

It is available through Amazon (all versions-Porsche, Pro, USA and International).

I just checked your link, Porsche was there, no Pro. One said it was a Pro, and I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the Pro is 6GB of memory, and the one listed said 4 GB.
