Can anyone please advise on what would be a good price in pounds sterling to pay for a very good condition XDA2S I have been offered one at £250 but think this may be a bit expensive.
Since it is a while since I have been on the newsgroup I do not know if there are problems with this phone, therefore not too sure if it is worth buying one
Or can anyone recommend where to buy at a reasonable prince and/or if alternatives are available/better.
Much appreciated....John.
If you're unsure of the going rate of an XDA 2s check on Ebay, that gave me a decent indication when I bought mine... although I actually did buy mine from there anyway in the end.
I would say that £250 is a pretty good price providing the screen and housing is in good order.
xda in £'s
thanks I'll check this out. john
I'd been using T-mobile SDA for life which i got from online seller for $100 USD, and now the earplug is not working anymore. Finally, on my trip back home to Cambodia, I found a very like new Imate SP5 (Tornado) for $160 USD, should i buy it? is the price reasonable? thanks for all comment
Well. Used Tornados are selled for a price around 70 EUR to 120 EUR (115$ to 180$) on Ebay in Germany. It depends on their condition.
So the price seems to be reasonable.
the condition is 9.9/10, it's like completely new with all accessories and box. The reason I am planning to get it that price because HTC Tornado is getting so rare now, unlike the T-mobile SDA where I can get it everywhere in the state. thanks for the comments.
Surely this can't be right.
Just checked with Smart Mobile Gadgets, and HTC Diamond are selling at $899.94. Compare to Sony Experia X1, which is selling for $979.94. I am not an iPhone person, but WOW at those price, I may be forced to buy the 3G iPhone instead. Lets hope the price will be lower than what they have there.
Hahahahahaha! That's way too much money for this phone, HTC will sell only a few.
it'll probably drop to $800 or less quite soon after (£400)
it's 'cheaper' with a contracy usually though, free or very cheap (>£100) with contacts <£35/month, that also includes all your calls/texts/internet so it can be quite good.
if you think about it, that has always been the price for the high end phones. remember the Nokia 8890 back in the days? it was about the same price as well.
Yeah, it's far too much for a phone with 4GB storage only and without a card slot.
These are pre-release prices so they are obviously high. When these phones come to carriers, that's when the prices will come down significantly and plus they won't be released in the U.S till the end of the year so that will also give some time to reduce prices.
PLus they are unlocked, Locked devcices are usaully cheaper by hundreds of dollars and unlocking is no big deal.
HTC want us to pay >$900 for Microsoft for using Google youtube and Opera browser?
NO WAY!
I think I disagree.
Keep in mind that it will be available in Europe first so...
900$ is about 600 euros, which seems reasonable for a new WM device with VGA screen + GPS...
Moreover, the old HTC Touch is still sold for about 420 euros..
After checking out the iPhone, it does make sense that the Diamond is way too expensive. In any case, AT&T only carries the iPhone. For now, I am happy to use my 8525 and 3125.
Well I paid 915 US$ last year for a TyTN II with shipping included, so this prices are high but not overpriced.
I like the Diamong but for now I think that I'll wait for Windows 7.

THAT IS INSANE!
I know the mogul is a tad bit under the specs of the tilt, but i paid 500 about a month before its official release. I cant really see the diamond going for more than 600 usd, especially if it want to compete with the iphone (which IMO, is better)
I really hope the raphael is around the same or less.
let's say you have 900$. what are you going to buy? sony or htc?
Stop yer fussin. Thats only the prices they're charging because the phones aren't even out yet. When they come out they'll probably be impossible to find too, but hopefully Sprint lets me upgrade at a discount with a new contract or something.
Yeah, they'll come down after they release. At least I hope they do! My wife and I are planning on getting one of each next year (I like the X1, she likes the Diamond).
If they stay almost a grand a pop we'll be passing...too rich for my blood.
I only paid $120 for my Mogul... I won't pay $900 for a phone.

$120! Where did you pull that off, ebay?
I got my Hermes (two of them, 8525's) for $199 each from AT&T themselves. No contract extension, nothing. I just called up one day and told them what I wanted, and they gave it to me somehow. I think it's because the Tilt was like two months away so maybe they were trying to clear 'em out.
$399 for two 8525's was a deal, I thought. But no way I'm going to pay even five hundred for one phone. That really is a bit high...and 900+ is just out of the question, as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly. I got my Wing for $326 off eBay. $900 is not worth a phone especially when it's going to be like $300 in the next 6 months.
Just checked pricing here too and it's £480 unlocked without a contract and £200 for T-mobile flext 25 which is what I'm on. That's quite a bit more than I'm usually willing to pay - I haven't paid more than £60 for a phone on contract. As others have said though, the price will come down when it's been on the market a few months, plus we'll know all it's little bugs by then
I couldn't wait for a new phone though as I've just bricked one, so I've ordered a LG KS20 unlocked without contract (managed to brick my phone 4 months before contract is up).
All the guys who have bought or about to buy this great phone please post your buying prices as it is not available in my country yet and I'm eager to know what prices it comes at..
P.S. Please post the final retail price i.e. contract free.
I bought my one s for 479€ today (Germany)
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Poland:
~520€ (inc. VAT)

amazone.co.uk got it for 420 euro.
When these hits retail stores, I probably will have to pay around 450 euro, mybe even more (they usualy overprice).
499 @ ditech, austria, vienna on 4.4
i think i will fall to 450 when they are able to supply enough units to satisfy demand. i bought mine despite of the higher price because i fear(ed) that the rumored production halt of the s4 processor in march will cause supply problems for 1-2 month ...

Thats £420, which equals ~510€, it's not 420€
I paid £428 for mine including shipping from Clove. It's not the lowest UK price, but there is not much difference at the moment, and their customer service when I bought my Desire from them in 2010 and in the few days leading up to my purchase was good enough that I decided it was worth giving them my business again.
In Italy costs around 600 euros (insane price :O)
So I'm also looking for cheaper units in Europe
I am wondering what the estimated price will be for this phone in the US with upgrade. I have to start setting aside money for the end of the month.
Today 489 Euros in a retail store, while a lot of mail order retailers are a bit higher still here in Germany.
Just nursing it to an 12h initial charge before starting to play around with it...
Hello folks.
Sadly yesterday evening I had my beloved and in pristine condition Nexus 6 stolen when getting into the metro.
Phone is already off and no location available in find my Android. I know it is now gone anyways, nothing I can do about it.
I am temporary living in Mexico and here technology comes at a very high cost, approximately 30%+ of prices in US or EU. Also smartphones in general even when getting aged they seems to keep a very high price. For instance a new Nexus 6 32Gb would cost me from 9000 to 12000 Mexican pesos, which is equal to $450 to $650 USD.
Also I don't really trust on getting used stuff in this country. Lots of stolen or partially functional products.
My available and maximum budget right now is 5500 Mexican pesos which is equivalent to roughly $280 USD. The options aren't many really, plus I want a device that is community supported. From what I have seen so far this amount can get me either a Nexus 5X or a Moto G4 Plus. Which of the two would you guys recommend? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pietro
