    Looking to buy an unlocked phone and was wondering what are the best online places to buy at the moment? I used T Dimension before and found them grand but their stock is pretty poor now and not much to offer. Anywhere else thats' trustworthy and, more importantly, cheap?

    Have a look at AliExpress. They have a wide selection, free postage to Ireland, secure payment, and they are really good value. I have bought 3 phones from them, and am quite happy. Delivery takes up to 3 weeks.

    Aren't they shipped from the US? Get caught for duty?

    Not all phones on Ali Express are shipped from US. Some are from different parts of Asia.
    As for duty - there are sellers who will say "no duty" things being shipped through their shipping method. You may pay more for this over other sellers/websites.
    There is no guarantee that you won't get caught for paying customs import fees.
