Very interested in buying the Find N, either through Giztop or WondaMobile, (shipped to UK) just wondering if those who've done the same would recommend doing it?
My main concerns are security and reliability, of the device and the store itself (after all it's A LOT of money to hand over)
Also, I know it's not going to be 'out of the box ready', so what issues would i be expecting and what are the must-do's when setting up to make sure everything works?
Advice appreciated
I used Giztop. I love my Find N. But there are lots of China-centric issues you can find on this forum...
the 512gb version has recently dropped a lot in price, taken on Wonda, I can't wait!
Cheers for heads up. Let me know how it goes!

Did you get any customs fees from Giztop? What shipping method did you use? Thank you

No didn't get customs fees, and I remember choosing the quickest option, whatever that was...

Oh that's good to know.
By the fastest option do you mean the "Express $29.99 (8-15 days) ? I assume your experience is post Brexit right lol ?
Yeh I believe so.
I might consider selling mine though... If you are interested?

ahhh i didnt't see their price! I just did a quick google product search and did it cheaper than the lowest found there, which was £469 justifying my £459 starting bid
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=htc+mozart&scoring=pd
You might get lucky on ebay either way, I've sold plenty of stuff there for above RRP.
How come you're selling? I played with one today, I really like the form factor. The screen not so much.

Yea got a bid so far! I personally dont like windows mobile 7, android all the way for me. This was the upgrade Orange offered as they dont have the HD for now and so getting this and selling it for one
I'm finding myself in a similar position, I wanted the HD but they have sent me this out. It'll be here Monday also. I imagine there will be more listings after Monday for sure, good thinking on getting that head start. I think I'd rather do that than pay £7 to send it back to Orange.

Exaclty yeah, I want the HD but they dont have it as of yet therefore selling the unwanted Mozart for it. I was the first on ebay but now there are 3 others, one of which was 'highly inspired' by the wording of my listing down to the letter at points lol but my lisitng is at £499 so far being lead by an American, perhaps they cant get this phone right now, VERY curious to see how high this goes!
I intend on picking up the HD from a Phones4u store as soon as the cash transfers

i found me a preorder, thanx all.
There are many preorder sites threads that you can look at and see which one still has availability. I would suggest to go there and start searching those to find your answer
I ordered from expansys.ca, mainly because they have it available in gold and not just grey. Anything you order from expansys Canada will come from the states, the difference being that they'll take care of things like duties if you order from the Canadian website.
The good thing about it is that they won't charge you until you confirm that you want it AFTER they get enough stock to accommodate you. And there are no cancellation fees.
But it's a big list. I was number 140 on it, just yesterday morning.

thanx, do you think if i preorded from there now, i would get it on or before the 19th? or even faster then amazon.ca?
I'm not sure about that. I doubt it though. They have no ETA, and you'd be at least number 141 on the list, so probably not before the 19th.

At this point I feel like the only people getting anything on or around the 19th are Best Buy, Best Buy.ca, and Gamestop. Maybe Amazon and Newegg but i don't think those are looking too good at this point either. I could be way off but that is how it is feeling so far. From the rumor mill it at least appears all of Canada is pushed back except bb.ca.
You can always try pre-ordering from Frys.
I did last night for my wife.
http://www.frys.com/search?cat=-68332&pType=pDisplay&fq=100319 Android_Honeycomb_3.2-m10099998 ASUS
They also ship to Canada so you never know.
no one knows...
Hold on, let me just grab my crystal ball....
....But seriously, unless someone here works for Asus (in an in-the-know capacity) and spills the beans, you can "assume" anything you want, it will not make the release/availability date any less of a guessing game.
It's true that no one knows but you can make some educated deductions to find that it at least appears so far that GS and BB are the most likely to meet the 19th & 20th estimates. And also that Best Buy Canadia is the best bet in Canada.
i found a site, but the name is prob a typo.
is this the right product numbers?
TF201-B1-GR
TF201-DOCK-GR
edit:
btw the dock is 115 dollars... why so cheap? i know the sites legit, and i called them and they should be getting some in stock in a few days (estimate) this sites my best chance to get it by the 19th... BUT WHY SO CHEEEAAAP!?!
edit2:
now i found the old one for EVEN MORE then the new one... 572.00 the other one is 500... i googled the product numbers and it has to be the right pad... WHY!?
on my way to preordering it right now (1 click away lol)

That's the thing...its not EDUCATED. Anything past 1st Dec Taiwan release is conjecture at best. What makes GS or BB more likely to meet the 19th and 20th dates?
you want the tablet quicker? send me $550 and i promissee you will get one asap!

Listen, I'm not going to argue with you. I have read every post in this forum and I am guessing just from all of the conjecture and the few facts that I have read that Best Buy and Gamestop are the most likely to meet the 19th release. I'm educated and that is my guess. I've never come close to stating that it was a fact.
And for the sake of transparency I have paid Gamestop in full for my preorder. So I suppose there is some hope dashed into my edumacated guesses.

well... i hope to god your right, i got a private message from some awesome badass, telling me about a site that has 0 preorders and 6 on the way.
so i should be getting mine around the 19th. they guess it will get to them by the 16th.
Awesome. I hope that is true. I really hope everybody gets them opening day. I was really hoping the 12th would pan out for those that had that as a release date at some point.
im a little worried though... why does my dock only cost 115 dollars..
its supposed to be 150... arnt those set prices? I checked the product number 6 times, and its the proper product, i even called them and they said that the product numbers are always correct.. can someone explain this to me.
What site are we talking about? I'd be curious to look if you have already become the first to preorder there and it won't jeopardize your chances of getting it there.
I am looking for a Nexus Q for a project I am working on. I am willing to pay for it with shipping, etc... just having trouble finding one.
Please let me know if you have seen any available for sale, or have one you might be willing to part with for a reasonable price.
Thank you in advance,

Message me your reasonable price. For the right offer I may be willing to sell.

I have a Samsung Galaxy III, and I LOVE it, there is only one Problem, it is not eXfat/SDXC compatible, I've heard there are a number of ways to fix this (one person suggested Rooting it, another suggested some sort of unofficial Patch, there were few other suggestion suggestions that I can't remember )
I was wondering if someone could advise me as to what the best option would be and/or point me to a how to guide
Much Appreciated...

AFAIK the only way you can make any modifications is to have root permissions, so you would need to root. All the guides and tuts are in the General thread.

And what about after rooting? do the guides also explain how to add SDXC compatibility for larger sdxc micro cards (I have some custom made 256gb ones coming in from China that i plan to start selling with a couple left over for me to put in my phone)

what about after rooting? go to the development section and take a look at some roms/mods - the general section has a few mods too, there are some regarding exfat/SDXC, not sure about 256gb ones!

don't worry, I'll stress test them for a few weeks before I start selling them, at this point SDXC micros only go up to 64gb on the "official" market so this is the only way... Want me to let you know when/if they pass the stress test? I'll give you a special deal.

ColorOS is really bad.
You can't have more than 5 apps starting up.
ColorOS disables apps.
Support is really bad.
There is no other rom to to put on
The phone it's self is great, but that's where the good things about it end.

i think it's worth to buy it, the kernel source code just released and it's gonna be custom development in near time.
I Stongly advise against it (take notice) they are charging £799, I paid £500 ok it was the chinese version. However ColorOS is painfully bad, development despite the kernel source being available will be non existent, as the bootloader needs unlocked, this as yet can't be done without the deep test which is impossible.
It's by design one of the best I have owned, but I sold and bought the Vivo Nex S, which is way better and again only paid £500.
Don't say you weren't warned ......buy at your own risk and at £799 well that's quite the risk...
Have fun......

Thank you, your input is quite insightful.
Not to mention you may have saved me money, good'o
I have the international version and my previous phone was a iPhone. I am not into development so the issues that some raise do not concern me. I am even too scared to change my theme to the ones advertised on this forum as I might mess something up. For me the phone is great, it ticks all the boxes and looks amazing. The only gripe I have is that on the international version which I own the theme store is not enabled. Hopefully they will enable it soon. I also like that not many have it, so it's unique, but that is also a bad thing as the aftermarket support as far as repairs and cases excreta are very limited. Would I buy again? Yes.
I have the UK version (my third FX) and can confirm it still has all the notification issues as usual.
Hi, anyone from UK. If you see this. DON'T BUY ANY PHONE FROM OPPO.
