Eh...OK now I'm
I knew there were 2 versions, at least, in silver and another in black. But that picture shows a hybrid of the two.

Or is that a 3rd color variant? looks more black/blue than black/silver.
Edit: it say in the description gray/black (translated)
It's about £30 more to what I'm paying here in the UK. Wonder what's their shipping cost to the UK?

Yes I ordered the UK (English) variant. I am not sure if they will ship to the US. You may call their line listed on the site and check.
I am in Netherland and it comes with free shipping throught Nederland. I am picking it up at their shop in Rotterdam tomorrow

They say that it's the black variant (that the overall color is black, but that the touch pad is silver). But still, people aren't sure that there's even a black and a silver variant...
I hope so, since I'm hoping for the black one

there is a thread about where you can get the touch cruise in the netherlands... It's a list with prices And shippingcosts.

PDAShop has dropped their price!
Just got a call from them. They have dropped their price Down by 30 Euros to 569

This i just to let you know that there is stock at this particular shop. There are several webshops that are expecting stock, but we want the product NOW

I emailed them and got a reply that they don't deliver to the UK.

Can't wait to recieve mine

You must be enjoying your new toy since you haven't been around much
The annoying thing is that they STILL have stock but won't deliver to the UK. Believe it or not, I even looked for a day return flight with no joy (holidays + fog f-ing great).
Just tell me it's worth the wait, please.

[Q] goophoneshop.com; safe seller?

Hello; i'm serriously considering selling my current motorola razr hd, and buying a new phone from goophoneshop.com. I can't find any info on this website, and due to chinese websites having a somewhat flakey reputation, i'm a little concerned. Has anyone bought a phone from this website.
Edit:
I've found another website with the phone i'm after.
http://www.dhgate.com
Does anyone have any experience with this website? I'm particulary concerned with this one, because paypal is not an option.

As I told to another user I suggest to buy from etotalk. It's really fast and serious and you can pay with PayPal. I bought a vivo Xplay and everything went good.

Unfortunatly etotalk does not have the phone i'm after. After observation, i've noticed the phone i was considering on dhgate, is not infact the phone i'm after; but instead a fake, and it doesn't have the one i want either.
I've decided i will buy from goophoneshop.com because they have paypal, and i will report back if they're any good.

The devices there are also clones.

I once wanted to use dhgate to buy some ton of case and sell them locally had a bit of research seemed pretty legit if you ask me and some other reviews approved aswell...
Its kinda the chinese version of ebay..

Where to purchase Z5 when it comes out?

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.

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks

There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)

I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous

vmall.eu's shipping seems from Expansys?

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!

Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.

Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty

Thanks, I have read those and they don’t specify who the repairer is and what country they reside, so it isn’t clear if its shipped abroad to get cover or done in the UK and are subject to UK laws?

Thats an option but left three many years ago as they don’t know what customer service is and we have no coverage from them.

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339

The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.

They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model
