Why should htc cruise cost £389.95 (euro 545.73) in the UK whereas should it cost euro 629 in Italy?
There are 84 euro of spread!!!!!!
I would buy it from Uk. Do you know if the device could work in Italy with for example simcard Tim?
Excuse me for my english

Since expansys is selling a no-brand device, should work also here... Probably expansys forward your request to the Italian branch so you'll pay the italian price instead of the UK's price
Hi!
I'm brazinlian boy and i'd like so much buy this phone, i have a friend that he will go back to italy i 'm thinking ask him to buy one for me...so, has anyone who knows some site(italian, expansys i already know) to buy this? in brazil, but this gadgets is a hole of ****! in Brazil doesnt have HTC and waranty goes heaven and the price very expansive!example if you would like to buy htc p3600 outside brazil you can find around $500. Here it costs around R$2000,00($more than $1000).
Sorry for my bad english
bye!

The difference in the price depends mostly on what the package include (i.e. Navigation Software). If you buy your device from expansys it is sim-unlocked to use in any network. If you buy it from somewhere else... ensure first that it is not sim locked.

I don't understand device price structuring, how does Apple sell iPhone for 399$

iPhone is locked to AT&T who subsidizes the cost of the unit. Adding over a million subscriptions for two years of service with many of them being new services (from other carriers) just to get 'the phone'. Costs AT&T next to nothing because they are not adding infrastructure, just filling bandwidth that has been somewhat idle. . . the business model is pretty good. Apple gets their cost+profit on the sale of the device while AT&T reap service and data plan charges. They don't even effect their HSDPA bandwidth because the device is EDGE/GPRS.

Yeah I understand the kickback scheme. But the device is still sold independently of carriers (ie. Apple Stores), so you're saying over half a million unlocked devices were/are sold at cost or at a loss to Apple?

I can get this for around $260, is that a decent price?
is it a price you're happy with, how does it compare to other devices?
There are lots of countries such as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, as well as the United States that use $ so depends which one you are in too.
Yeah, which model and which currency? New? Used? If it's a new P6800 model and USD $260 then that is a ****in' excellent price. But, more details are needed.
Sorry, probably should mentioned I'm in the US. This model is the Verizon 4g model.
I paid $225 for a sch-i815 off ebay for a used one with scratches.

Why such a difference between the i815 and P6800? Is it because one is GSM? Also, can the i815 be used as a phone, or is it tablet only?
I bought mine through Verizon for the same price and it was "used" but literally brand new with plastic and not a mark on it. Totally a steal man.

P6800 is universal and can be used internationally across various carriers using their SIM cards. i815 can only be used on Verizon network. So it limits you immensely. Besides you can't use firmwares directly released by Samsung on their website. That limits you further because you are on the mercy of Verizon.
However in the USA, you don't have major carriers (except AT&T) on GSM.
One major problem is: If you buy P6800, there is no warranty from Samsung USA.

i think that is goooood price

How much did you pay for a "used" SCH-I815? I only found certified pre-owned ones for $279.99 online order only.
I got this tablet half a year ago for $260 (P6810) in Australia.
in amazon, last december, I bougth new for 200€ (p6810) , in Spain
I have read at few review sites that there are two versions of Nexus 5. One for North America and Europe while other for Asia. Will a Nexus bought from USA work in India? Am planning to buy from USA from a friend.

While I can't confirm for sure, I believe it will since it supports all the GSM bands. I'm confident enough to have ordered one

My dad's friend who lives in USA is visiting on 22nd. Also my uncle is visiting USA for Buisness trip in November. I can get it from either of them But it should be compatible in India. Very confused
Does anyone what charges and how much for a 32 gig will be applied if I pay through credit/debit card of India and have it shipped over to aunts house in US, who would bring it over to India for me.

400$ for the phone itself + shipping to your aunt's house and local US state taxes (if any, depends on the state). Apart from that your Aunt can carry it in her luggage and she shouldn't have to pay customs (I've done this a lot).
Hi There,

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!
Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.
Hi, I've found an Indian version but am worried the import tax is gonna be massive...they're selling it for £650 so how can I calculate the import fee?
There are a few online calculators that you can try.
But, at a minimum, you'd pay 20% VAT plus the handling charge - so you're talking ballpark another £140 on top.
Plus, depending on the tariff code for mobile phones, there may be an additional duty on top of that but ti's hard to get a definitive answer about that online.
Hi,
I bought from UK and used a firm on ebay based from Ireland.
If you can just avoid Norway, Switzerland, India and Hong Kong as all will have a lot of import duty.
If you buy from an Irish based company on ebay you pay the conversion rate (Usually on Paypal) and that's it. No import duties.

True but what are the chances of the Irish sellers having the Indian version?

That's not entirely correct.
Switzerland, whilst not part of the EU, is part of a larger European Customs Union, meaning that goods imported/exported between Switzerland and the rest of the EU are treated the same as if it were between EU member states.
I'm not sure about Norway but I wouldn't be surprised if the same were true.

When I checked we apparently still had to play customs duty which is still a considerable amount of money.
"Customs Regulations. As mentioned above, because Switzerland is not an active member of the EU, all imported goods have to be customs-cleared. In most cases this mean that you are subject to paying duty on your import from Switzerland, and the amount will vary depending on the specific type of goods you are importing."
Buying from Ireland to the UK is the best bet and is cheaper.

Why Indian version specifically? The EAN of the HK one matches and so is essentially the same phone.

I'm going by based on the Governments stance on it all.
Sometimes countries will misvalue the item being set or say it's a gift on the shipping information to avoid the duty.
The only times duty is usually charged is when it is truly exported from a place like Switzerland to the UK (It will usually be on the outside of the package)
Also https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad
It mentions that even though other Countries are not in the EU they are in the EEA but it doesn't go both ways. This means for small time consumers they still have to pay import from these non-eu countries.
You may be lucky and have it sent as a gift though.

Cause that one doesnt have the chinese assistant on the left and you dont have to go through hoops to remove the chinese apps/get nova working properly... I guess my best bet is to wait for a month and see if vivo release a true international one.

Please read my prior posts.
I have a HK Version phone that is International. The phone does not have issues removing any of the chinese apps and like the other international models has Google Assistant instead of the Jovi button.
I have Nova fully working with 0 issues and the phone works flawlessly.
I can post proof or evidence if you want or answer more questions.

well we'll find out some time in the future cause I ordered an HK one from ireland
Ugh I ordered last Thursday but the seller is shipping today and says it will take 6-8 days to get to me *rolls eyes*
Yep got the nex s HK today after dpd messed up with the delivery yesterday, can also confirm that is basically the international version
Mine arrived on Friday, didn't get a chance to spend much time with it until today though.
Same story, it actually was the HK version, not just a Chinese one with Google Play installed - EAN on the box matched, no Vivo account needed, most of the Chinese bloat removed.
Spent today ADBing some of the remaining bloat, installing Nova, GCam etc.
Really pleased, seems like a decent successor to my OG Mi Mix.
Something I noticed with gcam is if the hdr isn't on, it would take the picture and then "boil" it 1 second later
Which GCam version are you using?
The one that was recommended in the other thread?
Guys, I don't know... Do I have to pay an import tax from India to the UK? I know that before it was necessary to pay, but I read that today you do not need to pay. I don't think this is true, so I hope you can help me with some tips. I even found an online tax service because recently I have too many issues with taxes. I think this is really very easy and convenient because you just need to message and you will immediately receive the necessary response. In addition, this company has excellent reviews on the account of filing taxes. I hope they will help me.
