Default Any dependable online store to buy Arc from ?

Righto, people here are ****ing incompetent when it comes to recieving some of new stuff immediately, so I guess I want to order online and save myself the trouble.

Tried Amazon.de, they don't ship to Croatia

Gummobile.com (where I got mine) does reasonable international shipping I believe. Cheapest price around in the UK as well.

I'm trying to get this phone in the US that has ATT freqs. All the ones I've seen are Lt15i version with 2100/1900. Anyone know where I could get the Lt15a unlocked version online. I don't want to go through the ATT on this, plus who knows when they'll get it.

I've only used Nokia/SE unlocked phones so excuse my ignorance. If I bought a Arc from Rogers. ATT still wouldn't be able to recognize my IMEI would they? I don't want them to throw me in a PDA plan or anything.

With Xperia X10 I did the same thing. ATT didn't have it at first and I was OK but once they start carrying it they will automatically charge you for it. They have the system to recognize your phone when they are selling the same phone (my x10 was unbranded and unlocked but still recognized in their system). Till this day, I have not heard any news from ATT releasing it but eventually someone will and better that not to be ATT

thanks! I thought the manufacturer gave the carrier a list of imei's for them to database or something. Man I hope they don't get this thing since I've been wanting it for so long.

The VAT price you pay for them ( 20% ), my country has 23% - will I need to just add extra 3% on top of the already paid 20%, or will I need to pay double tax fee ?


Oh and.. if my credit card account shows Euros as balance, can I just directly pay with that and they'll automatically sort euros into british pounds, or will I need to swap currency on my account into british pounds altogether ?
