    omg.. good phone..

    Yes, shame the retailer is dishonest. Would strongly advise to avoid them.

          Don't suppose you've bought a phone from them recently? There are not many complaints around the web re their camera equipment - look for reviews on phones etc and it's a whole different story, and with good reason.

        • furyou on 12/03/2012 - 17:41

          yeh, if price is the only factor you care about.
          I guess you never tested your lens AF, offset sharpness, and you will never need to service it.

        • fufufu on 12/03/2012 - 19:14

        I bought the Note off these guys when they had it advertised for $579 (iirc) but 6 weeks after I had paid them for it I had to cough up another $20 blood money for them to actually ship it out to me. All the while all the orders processed off their eBay site were going through. So they pretty much kept telling us that there was no stock but shipping phones out for anyone who paid a higher price. There are a million posts about it here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1767801&p…

        Short of it is I would NEVER buy from them again even if they sold the phone for $100. Imagine what would happen if you should ever have to send anything back to them. God help us all!!

        • Chinerama on 12/03/2012 - 16:58

          Thanks alialoosh. That's great feedback. Won't even go near them then…. at least for phone sales.

          I would always pay by paypal or credit card. If this happens, you have every right to lodge a dispute (paypal) or ask for a chargeback (CC company).

          If you pay with paypal, funded from your credit card you're doubly protected. I'd never had need to do a claim through paypal before dealing with these guys and after all the horror stories I'd read regarding paypal claims, was dreading it. It was soo easy though.

          oh, and to top things off, in spite of having already told me they had received the phone I'd returned to them and promised multiple times that they'd refund but did not, once I'd filed the paypal claim, they had the cheek to try telling paypal they had not received it. lol

          Yeah thats all well and good getting a refund etc. But what we really wanted were the damn phones we all paid for.

          All we got for our $600 was lies and broken promises about delivery.

          Then the bombshell email we all got that was "WE DO NOT MAKE LOSS FOR ANY ORDER" (and that is their caps, not mine).

          Well all I say to that is "We do not make any DWI order". And I urge everyone to seriously consider that.

        Happily!

        They deliberately sent me (and others) the wrong item, which we had to return at our own cost for a refund with which they were not forthcoming. If I had not paid with paypal (and escallated a claim through them) I'd still be waiting for them to return my money.

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60200

        The last time I checked their link in that thread (around mid February) what I had originally thought may have been a glitch (but it became apparent was intentional on their part) had not been fixed, even though they'd been aware of it since before christmas. I've checked again just now and it has been changed.

        • Chinerama on 12/03/2012 - 17:30

          Thanks for the feedback Geewhizz. This has been really helpful. Will stay away from these guys. Guess the plan is to wait for the official release and see how the prices will change after that.

        • jackofspade on 12/03/2012 - 19:55

          Did you have to send it back to HK or locally? The problem is if you have to send it back to HK then you can't use Australia Post because they don't allow lithium battery so you would have to use a courier which is very expensive.

        • Geewhizz on 12/03/2012 - 21:15

          I had to send it back to Sydney. If you do deal with these people, and do have to return anything, be sure to use Aust Post PLATINUM Express. When I originally returned it to them I did not foresee the hassles I'd have with them so figured the tracking afforded by Express would be adequate.

          However, once Paypal became involved they were wanting trackable online, and with a signature. Fortunately the person I dealt with in Paypal was understanding of the fact that it had already been returned well before I involved them and so could not fulfil this requirement. It could easily have gone the other way though.

        • jackofspade on 12/03/2012 - 21:53

          Just use Registered Post with signature. Express Post Platinum would be a waste of money because if your package contains lithium battery then it must be transported by road only.

        • Geewhizz on 13/03/2012 - 07:12

          Just use Registered Post with signature. Express Post Platinum would be a waste of money because if your package contains lithium battery then it must be transported by road only.

          No, DO NOT just registered post with signature. The item MUST be able to be tracked online.

          https://contactus.auspost.com.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/419…

          As an aside, I discovered during the course of my experience with DWI that if you drop a regular express parcel into the yellow box it may not actually ever be scanned until it reaches the delivering post office. The post office here advised to always hand them over the counter.

          EDIT

          I've just discovered that Aust Post do now offer an 'online tracking and signature' on Eparcels for an extra $3.05. Included insurance is only up to $100 though so for an item such as this you'd need to purchase extra.
          http://auspost.com.au/personal/additional-parcel-services.ht…

        • jackofspade on 13/03/2012 - 12:05

          Registered Post do have online tracking and can only be lodged over the counter. I think this is what PayPal recommends. I've used this service many times. The tracking is actually better than Express Post.

      • SAVE FERRIS on 12/03/2012 - 20:53

        i've purchased over $6,000 in photography gear from them on separate occassions (5D mk2 body, canon 24-70L, canon 70-200L 2.8 II, tokina 11-16 2.8, canon 35L, and canon 85L II) and have had zero issues with them. the longest i've had to wait from day of ordering is two business days. most orders were delivered the NEXT DAY (thats express from HK).

        however, have never bought a phone/tablet from them yet. as they say: your mileage may vary.

      Have you read the negs? There's a herd of people on Whirlpool who were basically held to ransom for more cash after literally months of waiting for their device to be delivered. And that was at a higher (advertised) price than this one!

      Good luck getting anything out of them. They do not make loss on any order.

      If this is the case then be prepared for GNoteGate part 2. They don't tell you you are backordered, but if/when you are, and if they can't get it from their supplier with the required amount of profit, then you will be waiting for a very, very long time.

    If you want a cheap-ish local set. Kogan has them for $569 + shipping ($19 or so).

    Wait for official local sets before deciding where to get your from!

    Still, local telcos have it on the $79 cap. Ouch.

      It was $559+$19= $578 from Kogan a few days ago, applied my X'mas gift card($225 for $300), so totally ended up at $503.

  • furyou on 12/03/2012 - 17:40

      and you know the rest…

      new top of the range phone starts selling at around $800~900.. and then the price slowly goes down as time goes…

        If the 'deal' receives enough negative votes for the warnings to disappear, the 'deal' also disappears with them.

    I too recently brought a phone from their website. Paid for it, then they tell me they had the price wrong by like $100. Luckily they had not charged my credit card, but still annoying. Guess its not like the old days where retails still honour the price even though its wrongly advertised.
