Hi guys,
Which european online sellers (and 32GB cards) do you recommend? I'd rather stay away from ebay, and from out of Europe expedition, as it will take months to arrive in Italy.
Thanks!

I've saw a Class 2 from Sandisk

and a Class 4 just now!
<URL not allowed>
But at hole-burning prices!
Sandisk make them, you might be able to ship it internationally:

Well I'm happy with my current upgrade to a class 4 16GB san disk
I've tried other makes (don't want to name names) but had nightmares
So suggest sticking to sandisk ... No body does class flash like these guys do
Anyone have any idea if/when this will be available in the UK or Europe?
If there's good reason to think it will be out soon I will hold off purchasing the note 10.1 for now....
Thanks
Can't say about the UK but over here in Oz they're as rare as hens teeth... Only found the 32gb 3g version at JB Hifi... and now its not advertised on their site anymore..... Oh yeah, cost $850Aud too which is really up there in price....

Probably be cheaper buying a 16 gig version then buying a 32 gig card from amazon.

On Thursday I finally got notification that the 32 Gb wiFi version was now available in Holland, so perhaps the 3G version will not be too far behind in Europe/the UK.
I bought a WiFi version from the US a few months ago and even with import costs of €100 it was good value - can you pick up a 3G one from another country ?

Thanks for the responses....There don't seem to me many available for shipping even internationally....there was one on Ebay US a few days ago but that would have set me back about £540 after all the import duties and shipping...
That would be £140 more than I could get it for in the UK with the £50 Samsung rebate.
I don't think I'd want to pay much more than £50 more for the extra 16gb, especially as i plan on sticking a 64gb card in there anyway...
I also have to decide between the grey and the white.....would definitely be going for grey if it weren't for the reports here of differing build quality between the two...

Differing build qualities, really?
I got a 32 gb from amazon uk for around £20 and 64 gig from around £40

Mate, my 32gb 3g grey note 10.1 has no faults.... I bought a 2nd for my brother and his has no faults. I bought a 16gb 3g grey one for a friend and they have no problems with build quality.... Considering the only real difference between the grey and white notes is colour then why would build quality differ?
And trust me, I have the 32gb version with a 64gb sd card. I'm running out of space... What you have you will use or lament the fact you don't have enough. Hindsight is 20/20 and you will regret not getting the larger memory...
Thanks again for the advice
Yeah, I will definitely be getting a 64GB MicroSD card. And I agree with you ultramag69 that will likely regret it if i settle for the 16gb note. However with the current purchase options (no 32GB 3G model available directly in UK) I just don't think I could justify spending £140 on 16GB of storage.

I totally agree that this sounds ridiculous. I'm still sceptical even after reading this thread. It's not exactly a scientific sampling however it does give pause for thought regarding the models available in the UK at least.
Was waiting for Note 4 or Nexus 6 but the huawei ascend mate 7 looks amazing and really want one. Anyone know if it's coming to UK or where to buy it from a decent supplier?

I saw that too. For £350 you can get a European model from amazon.fr
The price just dropped! Let me know if you have any issues with the Chinese handset. Good price.

That was not properly shipped. As of the situation in our store, we attach an invoice statement along with the shipment. For smartphones, DHL will clear the custom using the prepared statement and we hear no delay/VAT ever, except for one country that the custom stops every single EXPRESS shipment, per law of that country.
Just some hints for your future online purchase.
I just saw this phone and was taken by the design and size of the phone. Specs aren't quite note 4 or nexus 6 but sure looks better. I bought oppo find 7 but after few weeks was quite dissapointed due to touch issues poor ui and camera, I don't fancy making the same mistake.
I'm in the uk where is the best place to buy and will it work on ee 4g? It's very important for me to have 4g.
Thanks

I am thinkingbof swapping my z2 for the AM7 also. Only thing holding me back is I am worried about camera?? How are you finding the video recording and stills inside and low light? I also created another thread for this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2933881
Would really appreciate your comments.
I received my Mate 7 yesterday - got shipped on Friday from HK so came very quickly.
I wasn't charged any tax at all as it was marked as 'gift' when shipped; which was very nice!
It is though the MT7-L09 model, so it doesn't support some of the 4G bands over here. Fortunately I'm switching networks soon, anyway, to one that is supported
I'm currently on O2 and the LTE doesn't work, but it works on EE reportedly.
Also as a point, the model number I have isn't listed on the Huawei bootloader unlock site so I'm currently awaiting more info to unlock and root my device

Nice. I purchased the 16gb European model from amazon.fr in the end £360ish. What phone did you come from and what are your initial impressions especially camera
I had a nexus 4 previously (bit old) so was a bit of a step up... much better screen and etc.
I've yet to play with the camera really, but it's supposedly better than the one I had before. Will have to have a play

Most of the big player's getting greedy now.
Honor 8 I felt should of been max £280 and £310/£320 max for the 64GB version... Mind you the Honor 6 Plus is still going for a high price £299 two years plus down the line since it's release.

Agreed. Too darn close to other higher spec phones.
They're opening space for other Chinese brands to offer better value.
Had an email from Honor UK today which stated that the Honor 8 Premium most likely will not be sold in the UK...
Oh well looks like Amsterdam here l come... (I live there from time to time)
I think it's time maybe to even look other brands...

64gb vs 32gb only difference.
I only saw the storage size as difference.
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.

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.
