I have found about 7 to 8 sites selling the OP2 without an invite .of course with higher prices but some for nearly the same price as oneplus excluding shipping. So if you are one of those who bought it this way, please share your experience.
Bought mine through swappa. It's the way to go. Got the device plus bumper plus swapstyle cover for an incredible price. Have used this site many times and have had a tremendous amount of good luck

I bought mine from a guy on. Craigslist. It was unopened. and he had he receipt and everything. Came with case also.
You guys living across the pond have got it all ?
Any international experiences?
I bought it from oppomart. I live in Lithuania and we have huge taxes from third party countries .. but oppomart offers international shipping without taxes. So i bought OPT and it arrived after 9~10days like they said. Everything works fine till now, happy with price and delivery so far.
To overcome taxes they ship your phone to France (in my case) and then reshipped to my country directly. You can track your order online no problem. So in my experience i highly recommend oppomart. They have pretty good support too, answered my every message almost instantly.
Bought my OPT from Aliexpress and it arrived within a week. At first I was glad to see that my phone was legit and properly working. It came preconfigured in my language and prerooted. However there was no OTA option available...
In the first week I experienced a lot of bloatware and popups which were very annoying. After roaming around xda forums and gaining some knowledge about the device I decided to give it a try and flash oxygen OTA. I have bumped into a couple problems on the road but am very happy I did.
My OPT now works perfectly and no more popups to be found!
Overall, very happy with my device and Ali (except the bloatware and popups.)
Do not trust Oppomart.
I buy two time from oppomart first time they sent me a new phone, second time a used phone, I sent back and they stole me 400 euro on refound.
“I’m sorry the packet arrived empty are you sure you put the phone inside?”
Come on!
I buy from aliexpress and pandawill, it never happen something like this
Bought it from Swappa too unopened. It came sealed. I've made it my daily driver but I'm not 100% sure on it only because of the battery. I have an LG G4 with the Zerolemon battery. I can be so wreckless with that zerolemon battery. Still the main reason I bought the Oneplus 2 is the dual sim feature and its pure stock android.
Still getting used to the phone. Just now have to worry about the battery life. Other than that a great experience
Bought mine from oppomart. At first start the home button did not work but after OTA update it works. Strangely no bloatware has popped up, yet there was a chinese music video of some rock band on it . Still I'm happy with the phone works great.
I got mine at sham shui po here in Hong Kong for hk$2950 ($380).
It's not the most common device among the cellphone shops here, but you can easily find stock if you ask around. Some even have demo units (of course running hydrogen OS).
So far I'm happy with the decision.

I used Oppomart. Tracked my box from Asia to France and then to UK. The day after which it was delivered. Got an A2001 model with free UK adapter for the EU plug, a pre-installed Oxygen 2.0, a couple of cases and a tempered glass cover all for just over £300.
I have not found any faults or experienced any unexpected issues. I am a happy shopper.
Bought mine from swappa. Phone was mint and came with bamboo and Kevlar back covers, a translucent grey protective cover, a tempered glass screen protector and a type C USB adapter. All for less then what the phone alone would have cost new. It was 3 weeks old and receipt was included as well.... Not a mark on it!!
I bought mine on open sale!!!!
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
Got mine from a local online store here in the Philippines, a lot of gadget online stores here are offering OP2.
I think they got it from HK. Got min with OxygenOS 2.0.2 already.
Bought my OPT from Aliexpress for 375€ + 20€ DHL shipping to Austria. It took about one week to arrive in perfect condition. No taxes as promised by the seller. The phone is the chinese version, but it came with pre installed (bloatwarefree) Oxygen OS 2.1.0. OTA update to 2.1.1 worked fine.
I have an opportunity to buy a mint 64gb model on craigslist for $350. Im considering it so i can return my m9 to tmobile. The battery life stinks. Im a bit weary because the oneplus i had a year ago lagged like hell for me.

Update 22nd June 2011
Ebuyer now put price up to £199.99 WTF
the price is still a bit steep for early adopters who missed the asus keyboard offer in April....
... it certainly is steep - BUT i got mine at the weekend - it arrived from dabs.com (also 99 quid) -after waiting 3 weeks for stock to come in.... it is awesome - totally changes how I can use it. Really great. There was a firmware upgrade as soon as I first used it which I've seen discussed on other threads.
I just need to find a decent folio case for the whole thing now . . .

yeah..agree the kb dock itself is awesome..and should be a must have for most TF owners....
the battery in the dock really makes it a life changer..
not really complaining about its price...it's probably the only thing that's priced close to its US version...was hoping asus can extend its early adopter offer a bit though..
I wouldnt pay that much for it tbh, lucky i got mine originally from asus at the offer price but sold mine as apart from the extra juice it didnt suit my needs after using the tablet for a while but it is a clever way of making it hybrid.
but thinking about it when the asus case costs 39.99 retail with pdair cases going for £60, yiou do get a lot for your money and it does not seem that bad of value
I got mine separately because I wanted the 32 Gig version which isn't offered as a bundle with keyboard which is odd to say the least.
As you say the battery life now truly incredible.
Just got my dock on order with ebuyer.
Do you get a separate psu for the dock?

How to pruchase a keyboard dock from the UK to Spain
I wonder if any of you lads in the UK can help me: I live in Barcelona , Spain and I ordered my TF101 from the USA, I will get it in some days. In the online store they weren't offering the keyboard Dock , and I have tried to order it within Spain but it seems here they only sell it bundled with the tablet (16 gb or 32 gb). So far I haven't been able to find a shop (offline or online) that sells them separately, I have been looking into the ones you mention here from the UK but so far they all serve UK residents only. On ebay there are only a few merchants offering it but far too pricey (the cheapest is around 140 pounds (besides with English/Chinese keyboard layout), I would like one with either English or Spanish layout, so buying one from the UK would be just as good. Can anyone suggests me an online shop in the UK that delivers to continental Europe? (apart from ebay and Amazon of course)
Many thanks in advance!
You could try Dabs.ie, they have some on order at the moment but should be the European arm of Uk based Dabs.com.

Thanks, but that is only for Irish customers, I found out they only serve UK and Ireland. But thanks anyway for answering!
Just checked ebuyer and they have 9 left but put 100 pound on the price. I bought mine for 99 pound on tuesday night and they are now 199 pound. What a scam unless it is a typo
My digitizer broke a while ago and now that I got a job I was looking to buy a new one, but I can't spend a lot of money on it, yet I have the feeling the ones I'm seeing on ebay for $30 will be pretty cheap and will break easily. Does anyone know how much an official digitizer, or at least a good OEM one is selling for nowadays? A friend of mine is going to the US next month so I will ask her to buy me one there as it will be much more cheaper than buying one on my country. I'm looking to spend less than 100 dollars on it, I wouldn't be able to afford anything more than that.
Thanks!
I've heard there are some quite reputable sellers on Amazon. You should be able to get a decent one for $30-$40. Plus, Amazon has a free shipping option for orders of $25 or more (at least in the US).
I bought a cheap one of ebay from China or Hong kong and its been fine for over 6 months

Buy one new with a frame (not just the glass). I've done a few. Also, follow a guide that also removes the LCD. Do not fall pray to trying to thread the digitizer ribbon through the whole as you risk ripping it. Figure up to $40 is normal. I had new last week where the new digitizer was no good, so be prepared to do the work more than once and take your time.

I got one on Amazon 33.00 it didn't work after 3 it works great only played for 1 and they refunded me on the one I have installed now and working they honor the Warranty the ribbons are not genuine tear easy have to be very careful.and remove the LCD makes it easy to prevent damage to digitizer ribbon.

Can you tell me which one you bought? I need to buy one and I want to be sure to buy one that will work.
I have found that it can be hit or miss and have had both good and bad product from the same supplier. They are all untested digitizers.

I'm based in India, and the seller was "India" based on the ebay address, but when I got the product, it was shipped from HongKong. I can send the details of the supplier who had send the digitizer to me. I do not know about the authenticity of this HongKong Based supplier though!!
And as said above, it can be a hit or miss from the same supplier too.
i just installed a new digitizer on my atrix, it is a little hesitant at times but it works great. got it on ebay from a seller in New Orleans. I can dig up seller store info if ya want!
Finally decided to go for this over the Sony Smartwatch 3 (due to the dormant speaker) and Currys/PC World are out of stock online and don't stock instore. Struggling to find any sellers (UK), not even on Amazon UK. Where have all the UK people bought theirs from?
I'm in Italy and I bought it on Amazon.de, they should ship to the UK too
Still can't find stock! Checked Amazon. De and. Es and it's been listed as Pre Order only for a few weeks now. Seems like there's a supply chain issue? Unless they are holding them back until the update with speaker support

I'm in the UK and I ordered it from https://www.alza.co.uk/trendy/asus-zenwatch-2-sparrow-wi501q-gunmetal-d3020083.htm?o=2 who are based in Europe. Obviously the charger has a euro style plug on it, however as the USB charging cable is detachable from it you can charge it off pretty much any USB charger.
It took about 5 days to arrive with the standard shipping option, but the price is actually cheaper than ordering from PC World who have been out of stock for what seems like months.
I bought it form ejoker.de but they are out of stock now (they only have the smaller one now). On Amazon is on preorder since december. I cannot find any reseller in Germany that still has stock at the normal price.
Definitely seems to be something funny going on, unless they are waiting to release the next batch with the update so they can advertise the speaker, and maybe bump the price
I bought it from Amazon.fr and a friend of mine from amazon.es.
Hopefully they'll be available soon. I was planning on ordering the $129 stainless/brown band from Amazon with some birthday gift cards, so other sources aren't an option.
I ended up placing my order thru Amazon for the rose gold with leather strap. It was in stock and I didn't want to wait to see if the silver model would be available again. Should be here Wednesday.
Let's get a list of places where this will be selling including importing.
WondaMobile expecting to ship by Oct 15th. This is with 256gb rom £759 which is slightly cheaper than UK pricing with double storage. https://www.wondamobile.com/sony-xperia-5-ii-8gb-ram-256gb-sim-free-unlocked.html
Otto (and maybe others?) offers a promotion product (Sony »WF-1000XM3 True Noise Cancelling«) additional to the mobile: https://www.otto.de/p/sony-xperia-5...2-mp-kamera-1225041412#variationId=1225041413
It is already available here in Sweden since a few days ago for ca 865€ bundled with WH1000XM3 headphones.
I am waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro but this is tempting too. I could buy it, sell the headphones and get some of the cash back so phone will be closer to my budget but I am not sure if I wanna do that since the front camera is same as on Xperia 1 II and that one was so crappy according to user reviews so what if this one is crappy too. Also no 30w or faster charging like on Chinese brand phones.
Any other places selling the 256gb model?
Be good to know if there is any way to get hold of the elusive grey model here in the UK. Not interested in black or blue, but the overseas sites like Expansys only have black blue or pink. Grey seems to be available in Europe, but not UK - unless Vodafone get it as an exclusive colour which they normally do with Xperias.
Vodafone always last to the party adding Xperias to their site though which is annoying.

Yes, exactly. Poor front camera and also missing wireless charging / face unlock are the real issues that bugs me on such a nice phone for US$950. Still can't understand why Sony used such a bad Samsung (!) sensor on their top tier "Photo Pro" smartphone. That's ridiculous!

Is there anyway you know I can get the Sweden deal from the UK? In the website it appears you can only use Sweden as country for delivery.
That grey model + the better WH1000 compared to the h.ear 3 headphones looks really enticing.

I don't think so unfortunately.
I think all Sony deals are country specific.
Belsimpel had a 300€ cashback offer on Xperia 1 II so could get the phone for ca 735€ after cashback but only if you have a NL address.
Same with this offer, you need Swedish address.
I preordered the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro for 650€. They are giving away Xiaomi Mi Essential Electric Scooter worth ca 300€ for free if you pre order before 21st October.
For me that's a better deal since I don't need headphones and I find the scooter more useful.

For any US buyers I highly suggest getting it from WondaMobile. I ordered mine last Wednesday 10/21/20 and selected free shipping. It was listed as 9-12 business days, but I just got it yesterday 10/26/20. Even shipping from Hong Kong it got here that fast. WondaMobile pays import taxes if you are outside of Europe, and you get more than one color, 5G support, 256gb. I ordered the blue model and it worked with my existing TMobile sim out of the box. It cost me 955 USD, 5 dollar premium to Sony's direct pricing the US, except you the more colors, 256gb, and you get it before December. Sadly no bonus goodies like some EU sellers, but it is easily the best way to get your hands on one in the US.

Just to let you know, I called Clove today and they said that there's a problem with the distributor in the UK.
According to clove the distributor upgraded their software system and messed it up so the stock is stuck in their warehouse.
Apparently clove offered to go and collect it but the distributor said they would still need to mark the inventory as having gone out which they are struggling to do...
They are hoping for the phones to get sent out later in the week
I've got the refund from them now. In the end though I am returning the phone to Amazon, mainly due to the side buttons. I don't like them!
Two week delay on mine. Got an e-mail from Sony offering me a free 'cover' due to the delay. I'm in two minds to take them up on the offer.
Quote - '
Unfortunately we are facing delivery delays due to a technical issue in our warehouse. We are expecting a two week delay to your order. To thank you for your patience we would like to offer you the Xperia 1 III Cover, RRP £34.99, free of charge.'
Plus I got a Google Nest Hub 7" shipped to me by mistake instead of the headphones. I need those ear warmers. Winter is coming.
Well I've been using the mk3 for a bit next to my s21 ultra and one of them need to go back under the 14 day cooling period lol just don't know which one to keep
Must admit the mk3 display is great but not very bright compared to the s21 ultra even just playing hdr videos indoors
Cameras are both good (s21 ultra is amazing with zoom though)
Battery life seems better on the s21 ultra (even though I have the exynos variant)
Just something about the Sony in the hand and the software just feels better
Aahhhh need to make my mind up quickly lol
Good news, they beat the two week delay by three days. Going to retire my Poco F1. It served me well up until I broke the screen. It's still my alarm clock. I'm waiting on an update about my headphones from the shippers, I chased them up today and they are still looking into it. If I don't get anything satisfactory from them within a week, I'll calling Sony. The free cover with stand is out of stock but I think I'll pass on that.
Ordered mine from Amazon UK last week shipping between end of September to end of October
Anyone been in a similar situation and got theirs early?
Amazon had a few units ship direct from Sony. Everyone else was waiting on the distributor (either Exertis or Ingram Micro, not sure which) due to their IT system ****up which was spectacular. Clove were more patient than I would have been but I guess every wholesaler was in the same boat. A singularly unimpressive start to this phone launch, with stony silence from Sony UK. I received my unit from Clove last Saturday.
