> where to buy c901 to get it to UK?
Bookmark topic
As per title i'm going to buy c901 from ebay (probably). Finally, after lots of people trying to persuade me and after seeing all the pictures made with it
i decided that i will get rid of my c510 as camdriver modding has stopped so no more improvement is expected (still needs a lot)
But having seen all of them being sold only from Asian countries i would like to know maybe somebody from UK has purchased it for a reasonable price and knows a good seller. I'm willing to buy only black version
all the suggestions and ebay experiences are welcome.
p.s. i can't wait for it any longer to arrive to UK market as it's been almost a year since it's release and there are no signs of it coming to O2 (as promised).

As with most
phones these days. The UK is getting them nearly 6 months after their initial release. The Greenheart and Black models apparently were slatedfor a September UK release but it has been put back to late October apparently.
I got mine from the Ebay seller rose528400. Delivered quickly. You will get an extra charge for customs duty (£10.24) from FEDex as well which will arrive up to 2 weeks after the phone has been delivered to you.
They do sell the black model. It will be running the first software version which can be updated via SEUS. The phones are the Middle Eastern version meaning everything will be in English if selected. Keypad is full English as well.

Yes mate. Last I heard the Greenheart will be an O2 exclusive and the Black one will be avalable sim free/on other networks.
Dont know if anythings changed since.

@ Rookwise
thanx for sharing your exoerience here
greatly appreciated
so how was your experience with c901 so far? enjoyable?
however i saw some bad feedback to that seller but hopefully everything will go as smooth as it went for you (nevermind the Fedex charge)

Like Rookwise I bought a c901 (black) from rose528400 and its working fine, I guess the phone itself is exactly the same as you get in the UK. I've flashed it to use a Western_European firmware via SEUS to get the facebook app but that doesnt seem that great anyway.
rose528400 seemed like a good seller to me, with quick postage (from Singapore) via FedEx but I did get the duty charge too, plus it wasn't damaged at all in transit.
Overall really pleased with my purchase.

thanx alexlindley too
though there's one thing i don't understand whether it's worth to wait a month or so till it comes to UK or not because somewhere i read that expected price is about 200 pounds whilst from Asian countries you can get it for an average of 150-160. or maybe when it's released in UK it will be even cheaper? is it likely or unlikely?

I'm extremly pleased with my C901. Its the best phone i've bought so far in the last 12 months. Again from what i've heard. The UK price will be 250 for a sim free model and 160-200 for a pay and go one. Will be free on an 18 month contract.

sorry can't help you with that one, I have no idea how much it will cost. I guess it comes down to whether you can wait a month to find out??

Is this phone officially so far the smallest phone with a Xenon flash? Normally they are fairly big to fit the flash in. Nice phone i would like one. I have also read alot of people saying the SonyEricsson FaceBook app is slow.
