Hi! I'm interested to buy the new HTC Tytn II which is still not locally available here in the Philippines. The only option I have right now is to purchase it online and have it shipped here. I'm a little bit concerned though because this is a fairly expensive device and I do not want to end up being scammed by some bogus online site. I hope someone can give me a recommendation based on past experience from an online retailer.
Also, does anyone know if HTC has worldwide support/ warranty for their products regardless where it was purchased?
Thank you and any feedback will greatly be appreciated.
Just got one in Hong Kong, the price is HKD$ 6000.
I don't think the HTC will provide worldwide warranty.
Thanks ben_998. Did you get yours directly from a HK based store or online? If you got it online, please give me their URL so I can inquire about shipping the device to my location.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to buy Nexus 7 (8 or 16 GB model) in UK retailer, which is shipping it outside UK - especially to Poland.
Do you know such place, where I could get it shipped to me, directly? I know there is eBay and so on, but cost is too high for me. I don't feel like paying extra 70 GBP
Thank you for your help!
Hi, the user MysteriousDiary has bought his Nexus 7 from UK and received it in Germany thanks to a DHL service. I post here his reply to my ask that is very interesting:
My question:

Thanks, Marco
His reply:
As far as I know from german android forums the warranty is international.
I've used boderlinx which is a service of DHL. borderlinx(dot)com
They give you a uk or us adress where you can let the tablet ship you. once it arrived at borderlinx they will send it to you. This service of them costs you about 20€ but they do it very fast. I've ordered on tuesday and got it today on thursday.

Hi all! I really want to buy the Xperia Z1 but I'm an american and I might have to import it. I keep on looking at a site called Negri. I want to buy it unlocked but it has to work on tmobile's HSPA+42 network. I hear there are different models but I don't see model listing numbers on any sites for preorder. My phone currently is a lg G2x. I've tried many custom roms but its on its last legs.
I keep on looking at sony.com and sony mobile.com but I don't even see it for preorder (usa sites). Is the Negri the international version?
If anyone knows anything please give me a hand. Also is the bootloader locked?

I've been looking at Negri's site also for the Z1. According to the spec description, all the necessary bands are there for it to work on T-Mo. I say you contact Negri customer service to confirm that or just wait till the phone is released on T-Mo. With T-Mo carrying the Z, I wouldn't count them out on carrying the Z1. Just for your reference, my international HOX is getting the 3G sign on T-Mo instead of the H.
Order from clove.co.uk or handtec.co.uk
they are better than negrielectronics, plus usually negri kinda lags on their shipping dates because they get their devices from wholesalers or dealers w/e.
order from the above sites, its about 20 dollars cheaper, and you get a FREE SMART WATCH ($250)!!!!
plus they will get the device starting on the 16th, so it will ship 16-20, with 1-3 day shipping to the US.
The devices sold by these two companies are C6903 which have all the freq/bands for t-mobile. So it should work unless something horrible goes wrong when we get them (doesnt work lol).

Hi all,
I just recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking to pre-order the phone from one of 2 UK sites; www.clove.co.uk and/or www.unlocked-mobiles.com.
Does the phone need to be unlocked for use of T-Mobile?
Are phones from UK auto unlocked or do I need to check with these 2 companies?

Thanks for the source for ordering the Z1 in Europe. These are really great deals, Negri is pretty much $50 more (that's what it looks like when I run the conversion on XE.com) and there's no smart watch offer. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before these deals are gone.

The phones on the sites above should be unlocked. You should probably pick between clove and handtec that were recommended, unlock-mobiles offers the phone around the same price, but doesn't have the offer for free Sony Smart Watch 2. Clove and handtec will be the better deal.

Just like Gwuhua, they are unlocked. Buying from these resellers are unlocked. Preorder from clove or handtec, I read that they are on backorder, but you will still receive your phone/watch

Tks for your response!
I'll go ahead and look into Handtec, but as for warranty repairs, can I send it to Sony USA or do I have to send it to UK should anything happen to the phone?

I've put the product in the basket and almost went through the ordering process just so I could see the actual USD total in Paypal. The cost is running close to $78X.XX which is quite high, but do remember, they're throwing in the smartwatch 2 which is worth at least $250. Just want to make sure you don't get shocked by the bill. Paypal may or may not be using the currency rate from XE.com or other currency sites.
I ordered mine from HandTec UK and it is 1-3 day FedEx shipping to the US. The cool thing is that it also comes with a free Smartwatch 2! I checked with T-Mobile and the unlocked Xperia Z1 should support all the bands for HSPA and 4G LTE.

Bought my purple Hong Kong C6903 variant in early October from Negri, and couldn't be happier! LTE works great on T-Mobile USA!
Hi, I was wondering if there's any information about when this phone is going to be available in sites like eBay or Amazon? I just see information about the playstore, and the mobile companies, but I'm not from USA, so I can only use either eBay or Amazon, I would appreciate your information, thanks!
I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro.
Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside the EU, I must make sure that VAT and custom duties don't end up costing too much).
The only UK online store I have found is www.clove.co.uk , which is out of stock at the moment.
I understand Three UK sells the dual sim, but the Three signal is too unreliable where I live.
EE, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse don’t sell the dual sim (I asked their chat tech support).
I have found some supposedly UK-based vendors in the UK, that sell at £690 vs Clove’s £790. It seems like a good price, but maybe too good to be true? I’d think a reputable store would give me more peace of mind.
Amazon UK lists two external vendors which sell at the same price as clove, but some user reviews mention the box was opened and the phone covered in fingerprints (used phone? Customs inspection? A return?).
Thanks!
I bought mine from Amazon France. Got fed up of looking for it in the UK
Wondamobile. Com
Thank you, guys.
@qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so?
@dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a third-party vendor listed there? Searching Amazon France now, I get a vendor that has an address listed in Spain.
Thank you, guys.

Bought my Mate 8 from them 2-3 years ago, no problems.

I always buy directly from Amazon because of warranty purposes.
Check all the Amazon sites (Germany, Spain's, France etc)
One of them should have it in stock
Currently have a note 8 duos, have someone willing to trade for a p20 pro single sim. Worth the trade? Honest opinions?
Model CLT-L04, what is the difference in models?

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who have chosen that brand

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item to then find messages about how that item compares with another one.
Think you'd be lucky from a contract perspective.
SIM free maybe.
Try uSwitch they've got some nuts deals.
Or just buy my Oneplus 5 off me
