I got an email saying that the Google Nexus 4 wireless charger is officially out on the Play store. It has a pretty hefty price tag though... Anyone planning on getting it?

Lol, my bad. I don't check the Play store for devices that often and didn't see any posts about it so I thought it was new.
Still not available in the UK w******s

Just messaged a mate of mine in NY to see if he'll buy me one and ship it to the UK
What would he have to pay from the store ? I know they are $59.99 plus taxes and shipping so what would that be to NY ?
I assume shipping to the UK will be about $10

All total I think it was $72 to get it to Atlanta with taxes and shipping. Id bet it would be more to get it to the UK than $10. Shipping has gotten horrible since the fuel prices went up. It looks like the cheapest post runs about $25.

Sweet jesus!.. I thought these new phones start around 599.
Do you have to buy from an "authorized dealer" for Samsung to cover the phone for the warranty?

Samsung doesn't really warranty unlocked phones sold in the U.S. as they aren't really meant for U.S. retail sale.
Your best bet is just buying one outright from your carrier, Best Buy (for their warranty), or putting it on your home owner's insurance policy. You can even buy 3rd party insurance like SquareTrade.

This came up in another thread and my personal thoughts about Expansys is to wait a bit until they get their information about what they will send and when they will send it more correct. They have failed to reply to my Email (over 4 days now) about verifying the exact model #s and capabilities of the S4s they are going to sell. Do what you want, but I'm going to buy from an authorized dealer (AT&T, Best Buys, Radio shack, etc...). There are reputable dealers that use Amazon (and I presume Ebay) but I'm not going to take a chance with this kind of money.
Close to launch day, and still no news about availibility on Amazon!

So if you buy from Bestbuy unlocked phone, the warranty is from Best Buy and not Samsung? I believe this will come from third party companies, much like Best Buy extended warranty.
Now I'm curious, if I buy from Bestbuy using my American Express card, will I get the extended warranty from American Express?
S4 begin to be available in France, but still no news from Amazon :crying:
Amazon Germany is clueless as always with mobile releases.....
Not always! I had the HTC One before everyone in France ordered on amazon.de
Did someone receive the S4 from Amazon europe?
can someone tell me where can i find the phone in uk online or in stores near london without being in a monthly contract. its out of stock everywhere
I canceled my order on Amazon and purchased the phone directly from the Samsung Mobile Store in Paris, why should I wait when a physical shop had it available nearby ? Amazon just weren't fast enough to my tastes.
Phone is now "in stock" in Amazon.fr

Price should convert straight into pounds unless your bank adds a fee. But you will have to pay quite a bit for privately shipping the device and you may also have to pay customs which could set you back a fair bit.
I paid £288 and then my bank charged about £8-9 conversion fee i chose for my bank to convert the currency instead of paypal don't know if it works out cheaper but my guess is it is cheaper.

Paypal for my orders abroad have always done the conversion for free. But when paying £288 already, an extra 10 quid or so isnt a big deal I guess.

I live in Sweden I want to buy the Mate 8 Mocha Brown version with 4Gb Of ram memory.
We only got the 3GB variant in sweden plus only 2 colors (silver and gray)
I want the mocha brown version with 4GB, where to buy it from in china which you can trust ?
I know there is 3 versions of the mate 8
Does all of them support the same bands ?
as the one sold in sweden ?
I hope they are sellting them cheap some where...
in Sweden it is good to buy stuff from chinina it is the only country in the world where you will not get a 25% import tax when you import stuff.
Which I would get if I did order from usa for instance.
Gizmo. Com
Wondamobile.com is great. I got my précieuse from them.... Very GOOD customer service. Only bug: the tracking system is not very reliable....
some eBay seller are very serious. If you find your phone on eBay, search the seller'name on Google.
eglobalcentral is cheapest I've seen, ordered phone from them before no problems
aliexpress.com is also worth a look

Oppomart if they have it. Or honormi if they send it to Sweden. But what do you mean you don't need to pay import taxes? Ofc you do. It can depend on how the Chinese packs it because sometimes they write gift on the package.
thats news to me as well with sweden not billing import tax for goods from china...
in any case, some vendors on aliexpress use DHL EU Express, where the package is first sent to the UK, repackaged and then sent off to its destination in the EU. the shop ive ordered from did this and it took 8 days for me to receive the mate 8 without having to pay import taxes here in germany

If you do not want import taxes you must be patient and use china post..atleast here in Sweden..
I have talked with many friends who buy from china regularly from aliexpress etc.. they told me they have never got import tax on any thing..but if they buy from usa or other western country you will always get it..
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 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.
