I got my phones of craiglist and ebay.
where do you buy yours?
this is an international site so people saying they buy then down the street and to the right is not going to be much help
www.expansys.com is pretty international though
"Don't go there, they've got terrible customer service and anyway that's a lingerie shop!"
tell me about it i got barred from there because i wanted to try out too many of their products
they dident believe me and my gf had the same measurements
? PVC from? Ann Summers . . . . . wait, damn, wrong site!
Operator - FOC on contract. Due an upgrade but trying to save the planet so haven't bothered - plus there's nothing out there I want so I'll stick with my Wiz!
doh!
the voices said they were tictacs!

Everyone sending ebay nice little letters? I did
Well...while I disagree with the sellers from an ethical view, the only thing they are doing illegal is using Faria's name as long as they purchase a legal license for Widnows Mobile 6 (if that's possible?). There are other ads selling this for up to $80 so far and they don't mention and rom cooker by name.
Very VERY unethical though...
Fraud On Ebay

What is funny is that a couple of months ago i got a message ont his board for support for NTS vanilla that came on the guys phone when he bought it on ebay. He tried to tell me that I had to support him. I told him I didnt and he never replied. LOL.
Edited out for personal reasons. I don't want a future plea for help to be ignored ... "Oh it's that guy that stuck up for the eBay @$$h0!e. I ain't helping him!!!".
On that Pimp TMobile one on ebay this is an actual quote...
"It frustrates me that technology it held back by the greed inherrant in consumerism and so I release application..."
The only one that is greedy in my mind is him...Much thanks goes out to all of the rom cookers here and other helpers. I have a WM6 device and generally know what to do if something happens now. Again thank you to you all that are not like this individual....

ROFL omg.
i thought you are serious for a while.
AFAIK This guy is doing nothing illegal (apart from referencing to Faria).
It IS unethical yes.
But arent there allways cheap bastards around like this one. For a lot of phones the unlock s/w is 'free', but still numerous people sell it as a service and charge up to 20 euro for it.
They make money using the knowledge of others (of which a lot are the active members on this forum) AND they mis-use the lack of knowledge a lot of phone owners simply have.
I would say 'ban him from ebay' goes a bit far, but cant we simply take him out of business by just starting another auction with reference to the right threads and not charge at all?? That WILL teach him.
i will vote yes ;P
The worst part...he is making money off the hard work of people on this forum.
I saw one auction had 5 bids and was near $80.00
I mean seriously...using upgrade discounts you can almost buy a whole new phone for that price.
So it makes one wonder...who is the bigger idiot. The guy selling the labor of others, or the people who buy it?
This, my friends, is how Bill Gates became Bill Gates.
hi all! a friend of me is on the way to nanjing and shanghai and want to buy a htc-phone. Does anybody have an idea where he can buy (probably cheaper ;-) a htc in nanjing or shanghai? On the htc page no store in china were displayed.
thanks! zear4fear
i mean no official htc store - just a store or smilar where he can buy a htc!
Does nobody have a clue? it's hard to search on the internet when you can not read chinese...
zear4fear
Hi,
As far as I know you can buy them from any high street mobile phone shops over there.
I used to live in Shanghai. China is a place where there are tons of cellphone resellers. Asia acually. I studied very far so our building is probably far from him. But there are tons of whole buildings just selling electronics so u cant miss just walk around. Shops just to sell cell phones. Yup no freaking plans needed . just bargain bargain bargain. and ask about warranty.
I know a good place that has a lot of phones in shanghai, the place call "sleepless city or ever-bright city" which you need to say it in chinese, because I don't know it's english name, it is near shanghai train station. that is six floors high and all saleing phones and very very cheap.
hey all, thanks for the replies!!! very helpful.
@keywong: do you know a street or the name of this building??
zear4fear
lol this is the place im talking about too! i was just walking. it's very visible. this place has more than phones! haha omg i bought a whole speaker system here for 100 kuai haha. i think i even got ripped and locals can get it cheaper.

Hey guy.Have you ever been there before?If not,welcome to Nanking,it's not as bad as you imagine.I don't wanna talk about the history and the politics.I just want you know that China was the victim,not the mob.
Ok,let's talk about the phone.I just find the shops in Shanghai on the website of the DOPOD.There are more than 30 shops.See follows:

Damn this guy...
Absolutely true there guys!
This ebayer seems to be a bit of a scam. Everyone here works hard for this stuff and he sells.

I'm helping my friend look for an HD7 on contract and I cant seem to find a really low deal on one like I can for pretty much every other phone. I thought I might ask if anyone had any suggestions as to online retailers and I've already checked wirefly. He'll be going with them if he cant find lower.

I went to an online vender and got 2 phones for free. One for me and one for the wife. I don't want to be one of those that people think is promoting businesses, but here it is.
www.wirefly.com
www.letstalk.com
those are the 2 places I would look at. The first one always seems to have good deals for me.

I love wirefly but letstalk seems to have pricier phones than buying in store. Maybe T-mo just doesnt give em good deals.
Hey everyone, as some of you might know, i have been trying to get an android phone for quite some time now. After having followed many device, i have been trying to get the Infuse since it was released. A friend of mine will be in NY tomorrow for a couple days and I am trying to have my cousin pick up the phone for me to give to my friend. He said there is an ATT by his work on 34th. I know that's not much info, but by anychance are any of you fmiliar with that location? My brother tried to get it for me in Boston and they kept telling him that they would not sell it to him without a contract. I am trying to avoid that bs this time around... SHould my cousin mention that I live out of the country and see if they are more willing? Anyways, any thoughts and or opinions are greatly appreciated. Hope this works out for me this time around.
Thanks everyone!
Wally world! (walmart) they dont give crap about it. they should be able to sell it to you.
Thanks Transformer!
I don't really know Manhattan all that well, but don't really remember seeing a Walmart anywhere around... I need to purchase it somewhere where i have friends or family traveling so that they can bring it back to me as I am currently living in the Dominican Republic.
dont really give explnations. just say you need to buy a phoen off contract.
Well my day went from great to sh*t in just a few minutes... I get a msg that my cousin is on his way to get me the Infuse at an ATT in NY so that he can give it to my buddy who is coming back to the DR tomorrow. Then i get the msg that they would not sell it to him off-contract... This keeps happening everytime i finally have someone in the US that can get the phone. Losing all hope...
Best Buy. There is a 24 hour one somewhere in the 30's in Manhattan.
Seriously? Anyoen happen to know how much Best Buy is selling them for off contract?
Thanks!

i asked a guy at the att store if we could buy phones off contract just the phoen no contract he said yes.
note! in order for a att store to sell a phone of contract it has to be a corporate store.
thats the info i got when i asked
Thanks everyone!
Dani: sorry, but whats "/10chars?"
Transformer: Thats weird cause my cousin said that it was a corporate store and the people at the store said he might have better luck at one of the small non corporate stores... I just wish i was the one that could do take care of it and i didn't have to have my friends and family jumping around and being given responses and answers that are mixed.
hmm. either way. it is a att product and you are paying full price for it. why not hit up att 1 800 number thur skype and see what you can get done.
maybe have your cousin wait there while your on the phone and have one of the managers from central call in to the store to authorise the sale.
I might just have to do something like that... Wish it were as easy as just purchasing, but hey, i guess good things don't come easy? I need to get hyped up again on this phone, cause this bs is seriously putting a damper on things...lol.
Appreciate all the responses.
