    Any chance of another deal for the Note 5?

    $849? :P

    • Been waiting so long for this!!

    • +1

      Is Note 4 a better choice if I also want the option of microSD card support?

      • +3

        I think that goes without saying, since Note 5 has no microSD support..

        I'm completely OK with this though, being a current iPhone user. I plan on uploading music and photos to the cloud and mainly stream entertainment. My current phone is holding 50gb of data at the moment, but more than half of that is stored music, which I actually never listen to anymore.. I reckon 32GB should be OK.

        Depends on your usage, I guess.

    • Yes please TA get us a Note 5 Deal!

    • Gold model still available with 10+ in stock with the new 20% Ebay deal
      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5-N920I-4G-32…

      $664.92 Shipped when you consider the 4% cashback. T-dimension have 12 months warranty with free postage for returns and delivery again if required.

      At this price, even if Mobileciti could do a $850 deal, the almost $200 difference is probably worth the risk in my opinion.

    it's been cheaper many times, why even post this.

    • Link? Don't recall seeing a 128GB Edge posted previously.

    • +1

      I've seen cheaper pricing for S6 128GB (which I frankly think is more practical choice), that said, I've never seen one for S6 Edge?

      • +2

        Yeah s6 128gb is $888

        It's nice to see Samsung being innovative with the Edge feature but in the real world, it's a pointless marketing stunt and makes the phone harder to hold than the regular s6.

        • +1

          It's prettier though :P

        • @Oversimplified:

          The sacrifices you make for a more aesthetically pleasing design :)

        • @ShamelessBargains: ;) I feel sorry for the companies that tried to make a glass protector for S6 Edge. S6 is hard for screen protector manufacturer as is with 2.5D finish.

          Eh, I think it's an in-between tech that will be replaced by foldable phone technology.

        • @Oversimplified: yeah foldable phones are meant to be the next big thing. Always great to see new ideas coming up the pipeline.

        • @ShamelessBargains: Apparently planned for next year too. Dunno how things will turn out though with display technology being fairly young as is (flexible display has been used since Note Edge, but it's still fairly young) along with other factors like whether they can produce them in mass at reasonable percentage yield (being able to produce them and being able to produce them at mass is different).

          That said "never buy first gen product" is the moto that I think would be suitable for the first gen foldable smartphone. It'd be interesting though.

        • @ShamelessBargains: Yeah clamshells were pretty goddamn great weren't they, can't wait for the new ones.

    • +3

      You are 100% correct for iPhone Fans ;)

    • +1

      128gb iphone 6 for less than $1000. must be some dream.

    • -8

      I agree. If you're going to be spending a grand on a phone, might as well go all out and get an iphone.

      • Are you purposely trying to provoke a reaction from people?

        • iPhones historically have held their value better than Samsung and other Android phones.

          In this sense, buying an iPhone is a better investment since you will not be losing as much in depreciation when you come to upgrade.

          Really depends whether you like the Android or iOS operating systems at the end of the day.

        • +1

          @ShamelessBargains:

          Really depends whether you like the Android or iOS operating systems at the end of the day.

          That's what I think… I would have thought people buy phones to use, rather than as an investment.

          @Orpheus:

          If you're spending so much on a phone, you must be after a status symbol.

          So people cannot buy a phone for the design, build quality, high resolution super amoled screen, and camera speed and quality?

        • @ShamelessBargains:

          You know what's the best?
          2nd hand / Refurbished Android phone , 1 to 2 generation older.

        • @ShamelessBargains:

          I've never actually sold or traded an old phone. I've either broken it (thus the upgrade), or the kids have their beady little eyes on my out-going version. So depreciation has never been an issue for me.

          With the way smartphones are these days, it's more a psychological and ecosystem shift between Android and IOS these days, rather than a functional one (they all do pretty much the same thing). That, and I really don't want to have to buy all my apps again on IOS!

        • @Orpheus:

          Status symbol? We're not in 2010 anymore. I think that perceptions of the iPhone have changed dramatically since that time, such that it's difficult to understand why many would continue to own one, save for the ease that familiarity delivers.

        • +4

          @Orpheus:

          The iphone is the ultimate status symbol that shows people you have money and is also considered more fashionable/trendy.

          Lol… Maybe to idiots.

          For me, represents mindless sheep culture.

        • @soaringphoenix:

          I think that perceptions of the iPhone have changed dramatically since that time,

          I agree - my office cleaner has an iPhone. Many taxi drivers have iPhones. If you follow that forum post here about how much/little taxi drivers make, then an iPhone definitely isn't a status symbol anymore.

          A Vertu on the other hand, as garish as some of their models might be, would definitely be a status symbol.

          You're making so many dumb comments I hit my neg cap for the day.

          What's the thing you're going to say next?

          "But the iPhone runs iOS smoother than any Android phone."

        • @smileymiwo: "But Android phones runs Android smoother than any iPhones."

          Sorry, I had to say that.

      • +1

        Don't buy Iphone from Mobileciti right now. I just bought one from them and they seem to be opened and resealed. Also almost out of warranty!

        • Hi yeh

          Warranty should be same as we have mentioned (1/2 years warranty), its our responsibility to ensure you are 100% covered. Any issue with warranty or not happy with our products please contact our customer service.

        • +2

          @mobileciti:

          You seemed to avoid the comment about them being opened and resealed though

        • @Fybre:
          Phone could be open to restore the demo software or update firmware by authorized agent, I am not sure yet, will email distributor to double check.

    And whose got that sort of money laying around to buy this? Am I the only povo around here?

    You've sold me if you have a deal on LG G4 :-)

    • -5

      Yup, it always cracks me up that young people can pony up ~$1k for a phone at least once a year (I know kids changing them every few months) in addition to all of the other expensive accouterments that apparently you really need nowadays…yet they wonder why they can't afford to buy big ticket items like property???

      But, it's all the fault of the baby boomers…oh, the humanity!!! :P

      • -8

        $1000 for a phone …. amazes me more the number of people walking the street reading their devices and they have broken screens …… if you don't look where you are going, or people bump into you, you device could drop to the ground……. and possibly break. Guess its the same people that use mobile phones while driving …… love bumping into those people in the city, watching their devices drop and say "sorry" and keep on walking.

        • +4

          Why would you do that? That's pretty nasty.

        • -7

          @minijumbuk: But it's ok to walk around with your head up your a$$ bumping into people because you're too busy selfishly playing with your toys to adhere to some social conventions around common courtesy…right???

          Herein lies the rod we're making for our own backs as a society nowadays, people are becoming increasingly entitled, ignorant & self-centred.

          You say nasty, a lot of us might say natural consequences! ;)

        • +2

          @StewBalls:

          "love bumping into those people in the city, watching their devices drop and say "sorry" and keep on walking"

          That sounds like bumping into them on purpose. There's no need for that kind of behaviour or physical contact if it is on purpose.

        • -4

          @minijumbuk: It's a bit ambiguous, I'll grant you that…it could just as easily be interpreted as merely serendipitously enjoying the accidental contact…who knows but the OP.

          That said, there's no excuse for pig-ignorance when it comes to walking in a crowd either…how do you know you're not going to step on somebody's child or knock down an elderly or disabled pedestrian when you're doing your Rain Man impersonations…time to take a bit of social responsibility for yourselves kids.

          You don't want somebody accidentally bumping your precious toys, fine, put them in your bloody bag or pocket & watch where you're going…simple eh???

        • +3

          @StewBalls: I thought it was pretty clear. If the poster wasn't also looking at his phone, he wouldn't be bumping into people. That means he's purposely bumping into people to watch their phones drop, which is an a-hole move IMHO.

          If I don't like the way you drive, I don't smash your windshield.

      • +5

        Because not spending that $1k would let people afford a $1+ million dollar house?

        I wouldn't even say the property market is the fault of baby boomers so much as foreign investors. You're thinking of America. But with an attitude like yours I'm not surprised you feel embittered about your age.

      • +4

        By the way, research shows that millenials are better savers than baby boomers when they were in the same age bracket.

      • -1

        I didnt know houses cost as much as $1000 phones.

  • plus 1 for a trusted and friendly seller

  • +11

    Why doesn't mobi citi just post this deal rather than using tightarse as a proxy. Always have to be some story about how hard the negotiation process went. OzBargainers don't want middle men, if you've got a deal lay it on the table, let the community decide!!

    • I personally don't care, what matters is that we get a bargain.

      • +10

        Is the primary reason for it being a "bargain" because a certain individual posted it?

        • ?

        • +1

          Read the comments in the previous deal.

          TA definitely has better credibility in the Ozbargain community than MobileCiti but it's arguable whether this led to the deal getting to the front page.

        • @ShamelessBargains:
          Wow, there's a lot of waffling there. I just look at the price. If it's a bargain, it's a bargain.

        • +2

          @ShamelessBargains: Just adding onto what you said, I think there is that notion of whether people vote for the person, not the deal. I am not denying that TA is amazing in terms of getting these codes and doing the Ozbargain community a great service (that he didn't need to do). Most of his deals are simply amazing (I bought several things from what he've posted). I am not trying to be ungrateful, because I am grateful of what TA does.

          That said, Store Reps, L and P platers tend to get less votes than normal users and certain users get more votes than other users.

          I frankly think it's a credibility issue, along with being grateful to what normal users do out of generousity (not out of possible profit). I think there was an incident where somebody posted duplicate of what Store Rep posted (which wasn't on Front Page) and that got voted into Front Page. I cannot remember the full details, it may as well be due to the time of the day along with other things, so it's hard to infer anything meaningful. That said the incident does show possibility of the effect of having a normal user posting things over what Store Reps post. If this kind of thing happens with normal users, the effect would be stronger with a named user like TA.

          I think he's simply pointing out that.

          That said, these were mentioned before on a forum post before. I cannot remember what the conclusion was.

        • -1

          Why don't you go back to saying nothing, it was better.

        • @Oversimplified: It's hard to prove conclusively the link between either people voting for a deal or voting for a person. I agree that since TA posted the deal, it would be looked upon more favourably compared to being posted up by MobileCiti. But then the argument is that a bargain is a bargain. Both sides have good viewpoints making this more complicated. It would be interesting to see if MobileCiti went back to posting up their own deals and whether it received high votes like the majority of TA posted MobileCiti deals.

        • @ShamelessBargains: It'd be interesting to do an experiment, though it'd be hard to do one for many reasons including ethical reasons along with how hard it is to randomise and control yaddi yadda. Though from what I've seen, it's possible.

          I frankly don't care much. It might have some ethical issues with some people as it can be seen as store reps free riding on TA's credibility. That said, nothing is perfect and I'd rather have arse codes than half arsed deals from reps.

        • It's natural for people to be skeptical of store reps' and newbies' posts. They need time to evaluate to see if those deals are real deals. And many users couldn't be bothered to do that.

          For TA's deals, these have been verified by one of the most savvy users for Ozbargain. Once I see a deal from TA, I don't have to check or verify that deal again. He's already done it for me. Maybe I still need to do my own research, but naturally I will trust TA more than other posters mentioned above.

          As someone has said, a deal is a deal, as long as it benefits the community. If you see something wrong with that deal, by all means speak up. Otherwise, please move along. I, and maybe other users, don't need to see these kinds of anti-TA attitude popping up again and again.

        • @GreenRomeo:

          Once I see a deal from TA, I don't have to check or verify that deal again. He's already done it for me.

          TA's unquestionably awesome bargain finding skills notwithstanding, I'm sorry to say that you've just vindicated Davo93's position with that comment.

          This is not a phenomenon unique to OzB though, it's human nature…how often do we see the unwashed masses simply vote for the politician, not for the party or its policies.

          Maybe I still need to do my own research…

          Nah, thinking for yourself is highly overrated! ;)

    • Such wisdom Mr Baelish, straight to the point.

    Save yourself $200+ and get the 32gb version. I don't think it's worth an extra $200+ for 128gb.

    • +1

      OK but that's you, to me storage is something you cannot have enough of.

      • +3

        Then i would recommend getting something other than a Samsung Galaxy S6 that has an SD card slot and save yourself some serious cash!

        • +1

          I have an S5, the 128G card cost me $30 for class 10 generic on eBay …. yes tested on my pc, its class 10 and it is 128G ….. works fine for movies and photos.

        • @garage sale: How reliable are knock off microSD cards? Do they often corrupt data? Back in the day my dad always used cheap Chinese HDDs and constantly complained of lost data. I guess since SDs don't have moving parts, cheap ones would be OK, as long as the storage size is correct?

        • +1

          @aycnrz: It depends on how much you value your data I guess. If you're just using it to copy videos from your computer to watch on your phone/tablet, then it doesn't really matter if the card dies.

          If you're using it in your camera to capture important moments, I would definitely go with a genuine brand-name card.

          I've had brand-name cards die before, so I would definitely avoid generic or fake cards. Cheap memory cells can degrade more quickly.

        • @aycnrz: Also, it would only be a copy of whatever you need to take with you, so does it really matter if it gets corrupted?

        • @miicah: I was actually thinking of using the SD to hold photos taken by the phone (not a Galaxy), so it'd be a shame to lose those memories. Got a Blackberry for my GF, and it only has 16gb. I guess we could just take the photos off the card periodically.

        • +1

          @aycnrz:
          You can also enable Google's free photo backup. It gives you unlimited storage for 16MP photos, slightly recompressed.

    Good deal! But be wary of where they are sourcing their phones. I just bought a supposedly brand new Iphone from them and received a demo phone that has only 10 days of warranty left…

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/215192

    • I am waiting for my order-same deal - iPhone 6 plus gold from them.
      Should be here today so I will post comment again. I thought Mobileciti was good supplier- judging by comment on eBay.

      • Hi ccrew

        If you on the same case or not happy with our products when you received it, please contact our customer service team for the return, full refund will be provide.

        • +1

          As I am waiting my iPhone from Mobileciti I expect Mobileciti to provide me with brand new iPhone as discribe in eBay rather than refund if I receive demo iPhone. Thank you store rep.

    • Hi yeh

      Sorry we double checked with our apple au supplier this patch stock original planed for shop demo, phone never been sold to anyone or activate before, its still come with 1 year AU warranty as we mentioned before in our product desception. Apple site show 10 days global warranty, You should able to confirm warranty in the Apple Store (AU) or over the phone when you mention AU user.

      We also happy to accept the return and provide full refund inc return postage.

      We have updated our product descrption to demo, sorry for the inconvenience.

      • +2

        How about doing a good Customer Service and sending a prepaid paid return parcel to the OP and once you receive the phone, send a Brand New and Apple Sealed iPhone 6 (with full warranty) to the OP. The description when OP bought was brand new , it will cost you some bucks, but put that on for good CS and pass the costs to your supplier.

        Its so shady that when a well known seller takes stock from shady suppliers. This may have been demo stock but point is it was dodgy resealed to show up as Brand new sealed box. Didn't your shop or warehouse guys notice when they got the stock in hand from supplier. You guys have been handling phone for years, so no-one should have known better than you guys.

        Full refund incl return postage is alright. But after that providing the buyer with what he originally ordered is a step forward.

        "product desception" - typo? freudian slip? :)

    TA go get us that xperia z5 deal please :)

  • Just cracked the screen on my S6 Edge, even after using a recommended case. Going by the prices I've seen for a screen replacement, I'm considering getting a new phone and selling the broken one!

    Screen breakage must be the number one issue with mobiles……why on earth doesn't someone bring out A) A plastic screened phone and/or B) A quickly-replaced screen? They'd sell by the bucketload.

    • +1

      Hold on to it till Samsung have there $55 screen replacement day, get it replaced & sell it :)

        • @robzta:

          Thanks for that but it looks like Sydney only and I'm up in Brisbane. Oh well, better think about sending it off to Samsung.

  • Does anyone know when /if there will be a reputable waterproof case for the s6 edge? (Otter box, life proof etc)

    • hard to find a good glass protector. so, I don't think they will release any waterproof case for it.

      Edited: I am using otterbox symmetry on s6edge, no waterproof

  • can we trade in any junk mobile for 200 dollars credit like the JB deal….

  • This one from Mobileciti for $888 looks good https://www.mobileciti.com.au/samsung-galaxy-s6-128gb-gold-v…
