San Francisco Android Mobile Phone Black on Orange Pay As You Go - PrePayMania - 110 GBP
(Use 'VCPG3' coupon code to get additional 3 GBP off when ordering from Prepaymania.co.uk directly)
NOTE : Guys , please do not place new orders from PrePayMania as they are cancelling all orders with Aramex's shipping address.
As Prepaymania is not a good solution, you can also look at eBay.co.uk, try the auctions as well as Buy it Now listings. The prices are generally higher, but some sellers may give it for a better rate if you contact them. Also some listings have an option to make an Offer, try that too.
It's an awesome phone and for the price it's a steal. There are various custom roms available thanks to MoDaCo. I am currently using a Custom Eclair ROM. There is a Froyo ROM also available, but it's in Alpha Stage but is quite stable.
You can check this thread for more info regarding Aramex, Order Process etc.
How to determine if the phone has an OLED or TFT display
1. Register for an Aramex Shop&Ship account, first you need to create a normal Aramex.com account and later signup for the Shop&Ship account. Use the coupon posted above to get it for $5. Now they will provide you with a UK and US address.
2. Purchase the item from eBay UK ( You can pay by paypal using your CC ) or directly from Prepaymania.co.uk ( Try it through Google Checkout, it should work ) and enter the shipping address as given by Aramex
3. You will get a mail from Aramex once the item has reached their location. After that you can track and view details about the package from their website.
4. Customs duty for phones is only about 1.3%. Shipping from UK to India will be $10 for the first 0.5kg and $8 for each additional 0.5kg. The shipping cost and customs duty if applicable will be collected at the time of delivery.
This package will weigh less than 0.5kg so shipping cost will be only about $10 plus 10.33% tax.
