[brian85]

are they legit?

Yes I've purchased 2 phones from them. Awesome shipping times and customer service.

Brian85, is the price we are seeing generally stay the same after release? I won't be able to get mine till just after mid April and would like to know if that is its set price or will it more than likely go up some after release.

It doesn't go up from what I've seen. Usually it ends up going down a little.

To Singapore friends,

I am really confused by the many "official" release dates, so when is the actual launch date for telco's? (M1 specifically if you may)
Is it on the 30th as the friends is India said,
or on the 31st during the HTC launch (One world)
or somewhere in April like the other countries?

thanks

I guess I'll never know...
So 30th is off topic I guess?

I really do hope it is within that few days, really can't wait to get my hands on that beast.

El Giganten here in Denmark (owned by Dixons UK) have told me that they will have it in stock on the 2nd of April. Will cost 5000 Danish Kroner which is around £565GBP - bit more than I expected!

No international delivery though folks.

Wouldn't want International Delivery for that price

Next to Norway, we are one of the most expensive countries in Europe so we get shafted on absolutely everything price wise. Which is why I usually buy my stuff from the UK!

But I'm impatient when it comes to most tech, so I wouldn't want to wait a few days for my HTC when I could get it the day of release, even if I have to pay a premium for it.

Belgium is that way too. Consumer electronics (wether it's PC parts or smartphones) are ridiculously overpriced here. So I usually end up buying from Amazon.de or UK retailers

 

[Sebring5]

I will. Any of you guys know where is the best price/option where to buy it? I cannot wait for this!

I'm using clove.uk. $668 including 2-3day shipping. Release date April 5. I've used them before.

It is quite funny in a way because I used to be in the UK, and thought things were overpriced all the time, and when I came to Denmark, I missed the English prices!

the phone is listed on that site for $780.77..where do you see $668?

Clove is £492, which is $781

I think you are both looking at the price that is excluding VAT.

when you import from UK, they don't charge you the VAT, which effectively brings it down to £410.00.

Really?

No VAT...

Damn, UK are the biggest rip offs. Ever!

.... Great for other countries ordering from here though.

We just overpay for everything, more than $100 for me to order from the same place & I'm actually in the UK.

i also purchased it for $675 from clove.

I'm using clove.uk. $668 including 2-3day shipping. Release date April 5. I've used them before.

This is my first time using clove, how reliable are their pre-orders? and should i expect it a few days after the 5th? I heard they were good, so fingers crossed.

 

[hello00]

why dont you guys in the U.S use negrielectronics since they are located in Las Vegas? wouldn't they take a lot less time to delivery our phones than if you were to preorder it at clove.co.uk?

i would have gone that route had i known earlier. unfortunately, i already placed on order through clove and dont know if negrielectronics still would have stock. I might shoot them an email or give them a call sometime this week.
