Heat from me.

does anybody know how long exactly takes to get the phone, if you buy to amazon.it?

You can buy direct from Samsung for £576 inc next day delivey If you have an employee programme link, Perks.com offering 15% off!

I'm still waiting for mine, 8 days so far :disappointed:

€629 now

I was looking at the warehouse phones and it had a comment which when translated from Italian says "We remind you not to make any order or payment outside the Amazon.it site. Only transactions on Amazon.co.uk can benefit from A to Z Warranty. More information."

Mine should've arrived yesterday but was damaged when it came to London so has auto being sent back! Very annoying! New replacement date is 17th July, can't really wait that long so may cancel now

Mine arrived today, all good. Thanks to original poster

Mine made it to the UK last night and made it to my town this morning. Just hoping an empty box doesn't arrive :neutral_face:

That's simply not true. I know plenty of people still using older iPhones. I still have an iPhone 5 as a work phone which was released in 2012 yet still runs perfectly fine on the latest version of iOS and still gets regular updates. Never have any issues with it being slow. Running out of storage on an older iPhone is more likely to be a problem than the phone slowing down but even that is less of an issue with cloud storage getting better/cheaper.

It's so strange that even in mid 2017 you can still find apple fans come into a samsung deal, just to complain how the iphone is better because of ABC and samsung is worse because of XYZ.

People at this point know what they want, yes, that even includes spending "iphone money" on an android (pathetic comment btw)

These phones really just come down to, turn on and use VS customisation.

Anyone got their phone yet? Mine should be coming on thursday

Having used both platforms you can't compare the 2 so easily, depends on yours uses. An android is almost a full fledged pc, ios more a pc with training wheels if you don't want no fuss and things to be complicated, that does compromise its ability somewhat just as Android isn't hassle free as ios is for the average user.
In regards to iPhones running well beyond 4 years and they get updates that long.. Its a joke every update kills your old iphone slowly but surely, brilliant on their part as that's how money is made.

the million dollar (or pound) question is, buy the S8 or pay £100 more for the S8 Plus?

can you claim VAT back on items bought from italy?

I can see above it say 'this order includes VAT'.... what is the VAT % that is charged?

I have a standard Halifax account just wondering the best way to pay?

Hmm..Do I buy this or pay £550 from tesco with current 20% colleague discount.

Hmm, this phone seems to be £575 on the UK Amazon store, think I avoid the euro conversion, uk plug, uk firmware & potential delivery delays for the extra £50 to get it next day, tempting price as my s7 has developed a pink line on the screen :disappointed:

I am trying to return my phone to Amazon.IT but no courier will take it (lithium battery). Has anyone else returned theirs and know of a courier company that will take it back? Can believe what a ball ache this is! Thanks!

:neutral_face:

Any s8 plus deals

I think you know the answers to your questions, but
No, you can't get expandable memory, but surely 128gb plus cloud storage is more than enough.
No, you can't install showbox or Kodi but if streaming media is a key requirement there are better ways to do it, including on an iPhone (Plex)
No, you can't buy cheap iPhones - but that's why android exists, to cater for the lower end of the market.
iPhones, in my experience are better build quality, infinitely better support if anything does go wrong (walk into Apple Store and walk out with brand new phone), supported for far longer with security/OS updates - 4 year old phones still on latest OS, unheard of with android.
Apps/OS optimised to run on apple hardware so much less buggy and a far more polished experience.
Better overall integration of features, FaceTime, iMessage etc remove the need to use third party apps for basic call and text functions.

just ordered the silver one :smile:
and got this three sim deal - 8GB for £12 (Was £15) 12 month SIM 600 minutes, tethering & all-you-can-eat texts. Use your allowances in 60 destinations worldwide.plan.(£55 cashback hopefully). 12 - (£55/12=4.58) = £7.41 per month

Can you install showbox or kodi on an iphone?
Can you get expandable memory?
Can you buy cheap new iphones?
How is iphone better?

the s8 is in a different league to previous galaxy phones. my wife has 6s which I use often and I had s6. I have no bias but I really enjoyed the s6 better. the iOS felt restrictive to do basic tasks.
the s8 has latest android and it is really good. I have a Mac and will never use Windows but phones android is ahead for me.

You can check what you like on paper, but having used both iOS beats android hands down. Yes it might not have as much ram or as many pixels but it works better and smoother than android which to me is far more important. The whole OS is more refined and polished and the same can be said for apps (the HUKD app for example which seems to default to audiovisual all the time on android but is perfect on iOS)
I accept android is far better than it used to be and I have no major problems with my S7 but if I were spending this sort of money on a phone the iPhone would win hands down.

S8 sold by Amazon.it
direct link

I don't want a long discussion but check the difference between every iPhone iteration and the galaxy's. You will actually see Apple are cutting corners lack of anything innovative.

Yep, I don't dispute that. Lots of people doing something doesn't make it any less stupid. If you want the best buy an iPhone. If you're happy with compromise go android, but paying iPhone money for android experience is clearly just daft.

Stupid to spend this sort of money on an android phone. On an iPhone fair enough because it is far more refined and polished but for an android this is a ridiculous price. I have a galaxy S7 which I got for a good price but it's not a patch on the iPhone 6S it replaced.

Hmm, this phone seems to be £575 on the UK Amazon store, think I avoid the euro conversion, uk plug, uk firmware & potential delivery delays for the extra £50 to get it next day, tempting price as my s7 has developed a pink line on the screen :disappointed:

Thank you - looks like the type of thing I am after. Free and no charges overseas. £1000 per month overseas is perfect - gives you a bit more flex.

just wanted to pitch in on this as I've just got mine from this.
I used a Monzo card. £0 fees, and it got cleared within 10 minutes.
paid for the express delivery (€2 extra), bought Friday, arrived Monday.
make sure you choose the one sold by Amazon.
great phone. great deal.

So I got my s8 delivered last week from Amazon.it using Revolut. Safe to say that it wasn't easy - for this size transaction make sure they validate your account/card before trying to buy otherwise it sets up a series of issues with declines, blocks and frozen 'pending' transactions. I spent about 3-4 hours trying to sort it out - including webchats in Italian to Amazon (thank God for Google Translate).

Great concept, but when it goes wrong it really goes wrong. Still, got my s8 for £505 in the end after all the hassle.

Do you pay import Tax and VAT on these?

Thanks for the confirmation, going to hold out til the end of the year and see what the new pixel and Galaxy note is like then get one, current iPhone still works perfectly but fancy a bit of a change from IOS.

Mine was due to be delivered from amazon.it last Sunday, it then updated to say yesterday was due then at last minute when at local courier office (tracking) it said item damaged and not sent, so i will be getting refund (hopefully).

Why my Barclays freedom card gonna charge me a further 3%.....

delivery says July 18th - Aug 7th

Thats a long time to wait!

Never brought a phone from abroad so apologies if this is a silly question, apart from the charger are there any disadvantages to getting this from Amz Italy or is it similar to a UK Handset? as its unbranded I'm guessing will get all the software updates etc without issues.

Need some help its showing up on payment page as £529 how do i get it for £509 using clarity

cold. its not apple.

oops my bad - heat its not apple!

and Creation card too :smiley:

Monzo has higher withdrawal limits than Revolut. I can send you an invite to skip the queue if you like.

I'm seeing €579 not €569 too

We're insures this

Hot for the price. Just set up revolut, best conversion rates also no fees, it's free and takes 5 minutes. You can use virtual card immediatelly.

Metrobank. No transaction or withdrawal fees in EU. MasterCard exchange rate. Has been perfect for past few years. Took four attempts to set up an account with them. All staff I spoke to seemed to be in their early twenties. All in all well worth it if you travel and shop in Europe.

Is this the dual sim version?

509 inc. delivery if using a Halifax Clarity card
