$585 including shipping to US from Clove (UK store). Received on the 31st.
Ouch, $900?
@ busterz : May I know the source please (linky)? I am looking for a white one with Teflon coating. $585 sounds just about right! I may sell my unused G1 for $200 to make up for some of the cost!
@ busterz : Could you also please confirm if it works with ATT 3G bands here in the US?
$597 total from clove.co.uk that includes shipping. I ordered Friday and received Monday.

Its going to be slightly more expensive for you, since I bought mine with a group on another android forum. We received a little discount, but not by much.

Unless I am quite mistaken ....
AT&T's 3G network operates on 1900 MHz, whereas the European networks operate at 2100 MHz. As such, the European Hero is incapable of working on the AT&T 3G network. The only US carrier operating on that frequency is T-Mobile.
The phone is supposed to be released in the US later this year, though as far as I know the carrier is as yet unannounced.
Slovakia €435 - unlocked.

Can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for any Telstra phone. 850 / 2100Mhz. I don't think they are locked.. Will try my Vodafone SIM tomorrow.
Does Telstra work on the same 3G band as At&t ?? ( 850/2100 mhz I think )

I have a Telstra Mozart handset. I can confirm it is on the 850/2100mhz HSPA/WCDMA bands and are unlocked.
Also note that there is very slight telstra branding on the battery cover. You could most likely get a battery cover on ebay if you wanted to get rid of this.
I'm seriously loving the Mozart, great phone. Although I noticed AT&T is getting the focus, so I'd look at one of those too if I was you.

It does. I purchased in HD2 from Telstra that worked fine in the US until I lost it.
AT&T 3G
I bought a Mozart Telstra brand from On The Go Solutions. I have not been able to get 3G on the phone. It should work they are both 850. Would using the Chevron unlocker make the 3G band work do you think? Anyone have any other ideas?
How much do you guys pay for it? I got the Focus as an upgrade but AT&T switched my $15 unlimited media-net plan to 2Gig smartphone plan once they detect I use it on their network. Thinking the Telstra Mozart shouldn't have such issue (been using X1 for years without being detected).

just to confirm you got the 7 Mozart T8697. if yes, then you should be able to get 3G. Check Settings->mobile network-> and make sure your 3G connection is set to On. i have the 7 Mozart and at&t 3G access is working fine on my grandfathered $15/unlimited smartphone data plan.
@jackleung - your data plan was likely changed because you upgraded with an at&t supported phone. the 7 Mozart is not sold/supported by at&t and i suspect that's why my data plan hasn't changed.

Thanks cortez for your info and confirmation. Maybe I am under their business plan (with 22% off the phone bill), just upgrading the phones alone did not change my plan.
Almost a year ago, I went to their online shop and got two AT&T Pure as a upgrade (I am on their family plan with ONLY one line has the $15 unlimited media-net plan, the other has no data at all).
Then 2 weeks ago, I walk by their retail store and just looking at the phones (didn't realize I was eligible to upgrade since the last one was less than a year ago). Somehow, the sale lady told me my primary line was eligible while the secondary wasn't (too complicate to understand how AT&T calculate the upgrade time frame). So I can buy the Focus for ~$200 but can't get the BOGO promotion. The contract I sign didn't change my data plan (except it automatic add family map and roadside support which I could remove them online).
Long story short, I am still on my media net as long as I don't use the Focus.
Can you tell me where you folks get the Mozart T8697 and how much you pay for that?
I wouldn't bother if I was you. Australian electronics are notoriously expensive - a Mozart from Telstra is almost $800 outright, and with the Australian dollar almost level with the US...

I just received my Telstra NextG Mozart 8697 Brand New, Sealed handset from an Aussie ebayer. I paid a total of $590US and that included shipping to the U.S. Ebay is full of sealed Mozarts from Telstra and some are a very good deal.
By the way, non-ATT branded phones which work on the ATT 3G bands in the U.S. are eligible for $10 unlimited data plans. I've been using Telstra phones on ATT with $10 unlimited data for a loooonnnngggg time. Whenever I get a new phone, i put the SIM card in, wait a day or two for the compulsory ATT message about the data plan, then head to my local ATT store, see "Clayton" and he changes the data plan to the $10 unlimited. Works great. YMMV but check with an ATT store that is not a company owned store (franchise).

$590 is really a good deal (hopefully I could sell the Focus to cover some cost)
And $10 unlimited is probably a grandfather plan and maybe hard to get. (Although I already satisfied with my $15 media-net unlimited plan).
@Lumic, Austria device price maybe expensive. But the long term cost is still cheaper for us if we could avoid the smartphone plan from AT&T(not to mention unlimited plan is not available to new user)

maybe normally but im about to pick up one from ebay while my current mozart gets repaired and they are going for 250-300 unlocked!
Hi everyone, I am from India and lumia 920 havent been launched yet in my country. I would like to know the price of unlocked lumia 920 in each of your countries so that we can analyse where is the least price and will be a help to prospective buyers. Do contribute a minute.....:fingers-crossed:
I'm from Viet Nam and the price is 13.999.000VND (around US$670). In the bundle, there are basically a Lumia 920, a Wireless Charging Plate, a Microsoft Wireless Mouse and an optional gift from the seller.
I think malaysia has lowest price
Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 launched in malaysia main stores for RM1,999 (approx. $655) and RM1,599 (approx. $525) respectively. I think this is the best price for L920.
Common guys post the price in ur country.
I got mine in Germany for 597 euros (~770 USD) in the 2nd week of November...
I'm from Romania;
here the price for standard black and white NL920 is about 700 euro's.
I've ordered my phone from Germany (the single place were I found the yellow model) and I paid for it with all txes 802 Euro.
Here in finland its about 600€.
A non contract Nokia Lumia 920 from AT&T is $449 + tax here in the US, and they are including a Wireless Charging Plate for free for a limited time (it ships separately from the phones). AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the 920 here in the US.

It depends on what the taxes are in your state, county, etc. Where are you at? Also, are you an AT&T customer? I am not sure if they will sell to a non customer, or somebody from another country.
It cost in Saudi Arabia $666.4
Indonesia
It cost Rp 6500000 (US 665), Pre Order Rp 5500000 (US 560)...
$696 here in Australia outright on the Telstra Network. Cheapest price in the country, even when grey importing.
Italy from the TIM store for €599. Best part is that every phone in Italy is sold unlocked.
I managed to get one brand new in box for 499 off contract in Canada (Rogers black edition)
So far, it looks like AT&T in the US has the cheapest, non contract price.

I was going to use the search feature, but it seems to be down right now. My question is whether or not the Xperia Z Ultra will work on Canadian Frequencies - In my case, TELUS/Bell. I've done some research on the 3 models (6802, 6806, 6833) and am pretty confident that the LTE 6833 variant will work on my network for both LTE and HSPA+ but just want to be sure. According to GSMArena it runs on LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600. TELUS and Bell use frequencies 850/1900 GSM and LTE Band 4 (1700). So in theory this phone SHOULD work on our network, right?

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. The HSPA+ version is out which works on both AWS (TELUS/Bell) and regular 850/1900, but I'm more concerned about the LTE frequencies. I did a bit more research and came to the conclusion that the C6833 is the one to use for TELUS/Bell.
Also, if you're going to buy the LTE version, you should check out Clove's pre-order offer. I put my pre-order in a couple days ago and they were offering a free pair of Sony Bluetooth Earbuds with the order. Today they just upped the deal to include the bluetooth earbuds AND Sony Smartwatch 2 at no additional cost. I've never ordered from Clove before, but they are offering the phone at the lowest price that I could find and I can't say no to the Smartwatch 2 or headphones

Amazon.com offering too much shipping charges (like 80$), I tried normal shipping method also but they are not shipping to my country and in ebay.com its very high price (around 600$ or so).
By the way my residence is in Saudi Arabia. And 4g version is not available here Anyone can suggest please that from where I can buy?

This is one of my Concerns as well, don't you think that 1700 SAR for this phone is a little steep for this kind of phone?, because it would cost you another 100SAR @ least for aramex to ship it?, I'm waiting for your feedback when you got the phone isa, hopefully you can tell us if its working with networks in SA or not.

Actually I had mega 6.3 I9200 before, I already used mega. So there is no doubt in quality and speed of the device. Its absolutely brilliant. But i gave it to my brother and ordered 4g version i.e. I9205. 3g version I9200 I bought it in 1650SAR from souq.com. Now 4g version i bought in 1800SAR (Including shipping charges). Its worth for mega. Because I really like the screen size and its really lag free.
Regarding network 4g is concerned, it should work. Because my friends have S3 4g and Iphone5 4g versions and for both of them 4g is working here.
Seller provided RMA and offered refund or keep and $20 credit "to buy a micro sd card" which I of course declined. Amazon dealing with it. Straightforward if you are in the US but if not...?

I know the build quality is superb,and it's good hw/sw combination, but for the same price you can get much better phones.
And about 4G I'm not sure about it because STC uses 2300 TDD LTE and 1800 FDD LTE, Mobily uses 2600 TDD LTE, and Samsung didn't mention which band or duplex type that the phone supports.

Yes I know that, but what's the duplex technology TDD or FDD?
In New York at any rate you can only get the 16gb locked to att but found that out too late!

that's what i was afraid of
for returns just give Amazon a call/email/chat ,they are superb in customer support,even better you can negotiate with the seller to refund you @ least 40~50$ since you are rightfully paid the price for 16GB and got 8GB.
my advice for you is to forget the return trip,because it might cost another 300~400 SAR....
I was trying to warn of this above. I returned it on amazon's. Instruction for refund. See A-Z guarantee on Amazon

I complained on amazon.. they were willing to return it back with free shipping of one side i.e. from Saudia Arabia to US only.. But again i have to pay for shipping from US to Saudi arabia... So i asked for the difference of amount from them... and it was 49$ ... so they are giving me now 49$ ... and i am keeping this 8gb version with a hope that in future we will able to swap internal to external app working or some method to swap internal to sd ...
Thinking about getting the LTE version of this tablet for use in a car.
BUT,,, I'm finding out quickly that it's not sold in most stores.
Where will I find the best price, from an authorized seller so I can get a warranty?
Also, the safest buy I've found so far (no warranty) is from Amazon. They say it's an "International" version. I assume all of the LTE are International versions?
Will it work fine at LTE speeds for data on T-Mobile?
And I can root/ROM it?
I got bit by buying an LTE Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that as it turns out, cannot be rooted. So I'm hesitant to make the same mistake again.

Bought from Amazon. You won't get warranty at USA for sure. You can root and upgrade to lollipop without problem. It works with AT&T, Tmobile LTE without problem. But Tmobile will recongnize this device as tablet so that you can only get data plan only or voice plan without data. You can use AT&T with both voice and lte. Or you can switch to PTel which uses tmobile network.

Wow, I just searched the website of all the medium to large authorized dealers and NOBODY even sells the SGP621.
Even the Sony Store doesn't sell it.
Authorized dealers:
http://store.sony.com/-cms-page.sony.authorized.retailer.network
Because they didn't sell lte model at USA yet. You can only get wifi model at Sony store or other retail stores. All LTE models are international without USA warranty. But Amazon at least gives you 30 days to verify and play to see if it fits your needs.

Bought mine from amazon.de (German Amazon site) for 400 USD. Pay in Euro, at checkout the VAT should be removed. Cut my micro SIM to a nano and plugged it in. Rooted and upgraded to Lollipop and have LTE with AT&T. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the tip, that's the best price I've seen yet.
I tried to buy it but Amazon won't ship to me in the USA.
Gives me this error.
This item can not be shipped to the selected address. Learn more. You can either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order .

That's weird, because I had it shipped to me here in San Francisco.

I figured it out. Amazon offers multiple sellers for items sometimes.
I just had to manually select Amazon as the seller instead of the default seller.
Just bought it for $409 shipped using the Express shipping option.
The default shipping option was $400 shipped.
Thanks for the heads up Muchoman, you helped me out!
The cheapest alternate I found was Expansys for $489.
Good deal bro. I got mine within a week (bought on Monday morning, received next Monday). Have fun!
