Hi, I was looking to get a new unlocked phone over the summer..probably a samsung or lg..but I've noticed that there are a ton of websites out there offering various deals and what not so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a particular site that offered good service and reasonable prices and if there are some sites better than others and other sites to stay away from? Much thanks in advance ^^

it depends on whr u from bcuz i will recommend to do shopping within ur country ,but if u wana buy in bulk or something like that then u can buy from other webs too, and i will prefer u to buy phone with USA warranty not Chinese

u can check
plemix
sntradersonline
expansys-usa
hi-mobile

all of them r good if u r in canada or usa and even some of them r wholesaler

then go for sntradersonline.com as what i know they r whole saller and if u can get a wholesale account there, then u can buy at realy good price

mobile604 have limited products and look at there ranking on alexa u will see the difference

Thanks for the reply! I'm in the U.S and have been searching around for some good websites... I'll be sure to check those out.. With news of more models coming out in the future I may wait till the end of the summer to see if prices will go down but ehh we'll see ^^.

Those two were released just yesterday, and I'm not sure is the US version of the HTC Diamond also released yesterday, but I wouldn't expect them to have it immediately after its European release.

I just ordered a Nokia N82 from them last Thursday night, and I'm waiting for it to be delivered tomorrow. My experience with them has been totally smooth. I received shipping info from them before noon the next day after I ordered. I was looking around for websites where I should ordered from and ended up with MCO since I heard a lot of good things about them.

Yep, not to mention the prices are cheaper. I've ordered from MCO twice, no problems, fast shipping.

well You are Right that HTc's US version is not yet released but have seen it on some canadain webs thats why i m saying look at
plemix.com or sntradersonline.com they have them
and again look at n78 on both these webs they have them but not MCO , well still i never tried them so i dont know in terms of dealing, might b they are good in terms of dealing but the web is quite old that what i know abt them

look at the big webs then u will see the diff, the above web have limited products..... and let me tell u 1 one more thing, most of these kinds of webs r buying from Plemix and sntraders, as they also deal in wholesale soo dont get urself cconfuse bcuz when u r buying online then u have to consider lot of things , like shipping, cost, warrenty etc.. bcuz when u look at the price it looks very low but plus shipping cost and tax it becomes high, look at sntradersonline.com they r offering free over night shipping within Canada and USA

sntraders looks wayy overpriced, like 20-30 more than going market prices... n online only companies tend to have horrible service. when i got mine of cellnation they take cash and personally delivered it to me and i even got to try the phone before buying it.
there are a few other companies that offer the same in vancouver like gsmhookup but Cellnation seems to have always had the best prices ive seen.
