Buying P1 from...
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I am selling my K810 to get the P1. I have been looking around for websites that offer good deals on a P1 with 1GB cards.

I have been looking at:

www.cti-miami.com
www.phonesource-usa.com
www.hi-mobile.net
www.plemix.com
www.myworldphone.com
www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com
www.welectronics.com

All sites have different prices so not all come with 1GB, some offer just 512MB some sites don't even say. So far, Plemix.com has a good offer going for $449 after $30 free shipping (promotion ends Dec 31, 2007).

What are your experiences with Plemix.com? Is there another site that has a comparable price with the 1GB? Not looking for anything above $450 (including shipping). Phonesource-usa is close but they only ship with 512MB.

I have ordered 3 phones from plemix, all came super fast and as described, good site to buy from.

I'm in the same dilemma... buying the P1... but where?
Let's wait more replies.

So far, Plemix has the win I mean $449 with 1GB just doesn't get any better I guess?

Thanks for the testimonial.

Do you know if the free shipping is only for the US?
I live in Canada, probably it could be more expensive.

I haven't bought from Plemix, but I bought a few phones from their eBay counterpart x1387.

It does not specify in the promotion details. So, an email to them would be the best answer.

Hey Rigo_Star, www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com now has the best deal on the P1. For $416. and shipping brings it to about $445, $4 less than Plemix.com.

This is getting better and better.

Hmm. Seems ok. I saw it before but was skeptical and you only get the $40 when you use ebillme. There aren't a whole lot of reviews but the ones I saw have been generally good and they are Cnet certified etc though I can't see them on BBB. Decent rating on www.resellerratings.com. Their phone also comes with 512MB not 1GB. I think for now, I'll remain with smart-mobile-gadgets. Ordering my phone in 2 weeks.

For those who are interested, www.phonesource-usa.com has the P1 with 512MB card for $409.95.

Perfect for me, because I already have the 8 GB card.

^^ Ok, good luck.

Well, I went ahead and ordered my P1 from www.plemix.com for $439 after much deliberation and back and forth emailing various sites.

Now I wait...

I got mine a few days ago from plemix. Great delivery speed as usual.

BTW the Martin Fields is great on it. It's just a pain in the a$$ to get it aligned right because of the P1s recessed screen.

Good luck

They had the best deal with 1GB packaged and the Christmas free shipping was great. I only ordered on Saturday so I suspect I won't get it right away.

I hope I have an easier time putting on the screen protector.

Can you post some photos of your new phone along with the screen protector. Or maybe you can post the screen protector shots in my other thread about P1 screen protectors.

P.S. Can you also confirm the following in the package from Plemix.com:

1 CST-70 Travel Charger
1 USB Cable
1 Stylus

1 Handsfree
1 P1 PC Suite
1 User Manual

Yep you better believe it but high 20's to mid 30's is pretty much the standard at most merchants though I have found.

Finally got my P1 today. Had to wait for a friend to bring it from the States for me. As I said, I bought it from Plemix.com. You can see photos and a video in the show off your phone thread.
