UK - Got mine today - ordered on 29th July from Ebay £149 inc shipping
option to pay thru paypal - no issues - very smooth
Had to pay additional £18 VAT on the door
the phone is well worth it - immediately uninstalled that Guaana rubbish
the integrated android app store is much better- with out of the box access to Google play
The sim card (dual) is different to the Jolla mark1 - have to remove battery to get sim+ sd card in place
had trouble getting my sim card back out (put it in upside down) finally got the hang of it - but really thought it was stuck for a while
Everything else is more or less an up to date version of Jolla1
For the price- it is bang for the buck
The camera seems a bit better too - but I could never get a good pic out of the Jolla1 - so don't quote me on that one
I'm on GiffGaff- connectivity was automatic - no issues
roll on the Turing phone

Just as a warning customs stop for my Intex Aqua fish...:
I successfully bought the device on ebay but in opposite to most other users here I didn't get my handy through the customs here in germany because of the missing CE label. Others got maybe a comment of the officials but my lovely custom official forwards it to a central inspection place. I fear if a device with a missing certification got to this stage I have no chance at all get it at the end ?!
Or might it be possible to just drop cable and plug?
Anyway Ill update here...
Update 21.08.2016 "My" Intex Aqua Fish got rejected at the second customs stage as I have expected... :( It will be sent back after a month or if I release it immediately. A protest is of no hope I guess. No idea if I'll get my money refunded (completely) or if I also have to pay that the customs sends it back to india...

but I'm not home yet. :\ So when I have got some news, then I'll update it.
edit: #Works well with the Telenor network. but I'm very mad with Intex, because the charger is too big so I can't use it. number one thing, export your contact list to you sdcard, because this is the easiest way. Google sometimes don't sync
edit2: Lots of my fav android applications work: - guitar pro - freeletics - szegedközlekedés (I tried pokemon go, but It's use a lots of effort so and my phone goes 50 °C)
I used some android apps whats have native ports: - feedly -> feed'me - tuner (for guitars) - spotify -> cutespot (just premium) - youtube -> ytplayer - hangouts -> hangish
The battery could be batter. I hope there will be any solution.
Have you need to pay tax for it?

I just placed an order (to Austria) via ebay and paid by credit card.
20.08.2016: I received a notification from ebay that the item has been shipped. 01.09.2016: Received the phone, no tax or any problems
Worked for me too. Typing this comment on the new Aquafish. It was delivered yesterday. Shipment took bit longer due to public holidays in india I believe. Nice phone for the low price. Hope there will be more SailfishOS powered phones with better Cameras available in the future. Aquafish main camera is not so good in terms of picture quality. But it is hard to complain about this topic when the phone costs just 70€!

Ordered an Intex Aqua Fish from lowpriceshoppee on the 26. August 2016 to Switzerland. I do not have it yet, but the Tracking Nr. says, there was a delivery attempt this morning and it would be ready for pickup at the post office. \O/
So, no problems in Switzerland. This went surprisingly well!
UPDATE
No problems at all. I have it here now! \O/ Although, I did not manage to apply the screen protector. Guess I should get a pouch or something anyway.

Just picked up my Intex Aquafish, everything went without a hitch.
I ordered it from ebay.com from lowpriceshoppee, payed via PayPal, delivery to the Netherlands.
Timeline:
The package was unopened and I didn't get any customs declaration (although judging by previous experiences I still might receive a letter from the customs to pay a fee).
Now on to removing the Intex bloatware and setting it up as a proper replacement for my aging Jolla...

Everybody is waiting for the first one to have it delivered. I guess you will first see on twitter!
mosen ( 2016-07-30 16:39:23 +0200 )edit@Magog - I don't understand - could you clarify if this question is for Europeans / Americans who have tried to purchase from ebay.in? Else these brief customer reviews - ebay seller 1, ebay seller 2 and amazon.in seller - gives a good idea of the online buyers' experience, so far.
sifartech ( 2016-07-30 18:37:51 +0200 )editi purchased 2 phones from ebay.in, got the delivery on next day :)
amitpatel ( 2016-07-30 18:58:20 +0200 )edit@MJolla - I think you should convert your comment to an answer. The credit card copy and credit card summary is additional verification by ebay to ensure that you are not using somebody else's stolen card. Tip: If you sent it by email to ebay, delete that sent mail. If somebody hacks your email account, that info would be like a gold mine for them.
sifartech ( 2016-07-30 22:51:51 +0200 )editI hope you don't mind I edited the title a bit, I clicked in hopes to read your success story about getting the aqua fish to europe / america, since it was not in question form.
