The Unfortunate Situation:
While traveling abroad, the USB\Charge port on my Wizard snapped off from the board. This rendered the unit useless since I could no longer sync or charge the phone. I am still trying to find somehwere local to Denver to have this repaired as I love that damn phone.
Seeing as how my phone would eventually die and I needed a phone, I searched and searched all over Prague to find a Wizard or any other comparable HTC model, but only managed to find 2 cell shops out of 17 that had anything. Unfortunatly they both wanted way to much for the units, more than I can get them for on ebay.
I decided to stay on the cheap, and picked up a unlocked Nokia N70 (Vodafone branded).
The Bad Experience:
While the phone itself seems pretty decent(for what it will\does do), I cannot for the life of me find a website\forum for Symbian phones that comes anywhere close to XDA-Dev in terms of general wiki support, dev support or user support. I have signed up to 3 or 4 and none have the amount of usefull data found here.
Unless I can find a way to repair my Wizard, or decide to purchase another on ebay - I really want a TyTN, I am going to have to live with the fact that there is not a single site\forum that lives up to the standards and quality of XDA-Dev.
Thankyou everyone.
I don't know anywhere in Denver where you can get it repaired, but PocketPCTechs in southern California should be able to do the job.
Thanks for the link. If I can't find anyone here have to use them.

So I'm relatively new to the whole globetrotting cellphone concept but will need one in a few months as I plan on spending some time abroad. A friend recommended this site as one for customizing cellphones and finding all sorts of interesting applications to facilitate taking a cellphone with me around the world. I've been browsing around, snooping and what not and close as I can find budget-, feature- and style-wise, the Vox is for me.
But here's the pickle: I live in Canada and all the models I've managed to find nationwide are going for ridiculous prices, be they used or new. I've found some retailers in the UK that are selling them at a low enough rate that even with the duties and customs fees it's still a very interesting price.
If I import a Vox from the UK, will it still be just as simple as popping in my SIM card? Or would there be any fancy trickery involved with configuring a European Vox to run at home in Canada?
Thanks for your time and understanding.
Hey Guys
I have an issue with my g900 in that the USB port is getting worse, in fact today I have to prop the cable/tension it a bit to enable it to charge and its getting worse by the hour.
Now, I plan to upgrade to a Samsung I900 in two weeks when my mate gets back from Hong Kong sadly though, the G900 won't last that long - it'll be lucky to last the today!
As I am a massive mobile word/excel/pop3/push email/Internet Sharing (must do 3g, can live without HSDPA for two weeks) user for work I need a cheap as chips phone that can do the above (off contract). Not really bothered about any of the other flashy stuff like GPS etc....
Can you recommend one?
edit: i need to be able to mail order it today
i have a Tytn 1, the orginal Hymes
and Imate 6150 for sale.

I have a tytn in a draw (somewhere ...). It has the usual HTC reliability issues..... so nothing.
I-Mate/Other. Thanks for the offer Turns out my friend is going to Singapore next week so I can get him to get me an Omnia. Thanks anyway and good luck selling them
Hi,
I am just about to send off a few htc phones that I had lying about the house, it just occurred to me that I have custom roms on 3 of them.
The phones are fully working, turn on and off etc. and it doesn't mention anything about custom roms on their terms and conditions page but I was hoping someone might have the answer to this.
I can't really be bothered having to start searching for stock roms for each of the phones. I'm hoping I don't need to.
Thanks
it shouldn't make a difference but they might return it if its not stock.
Depending on what phones they are and how old they are you might get a better price if you sell them on here or ebay.
mazuma give really low prices.
they offered me £60 for a £110 brand new phone.
if they are old htcs and are in good condition there might be people on here that might be interested in them.
Hope this helps!
Or try Computer Exchange
I had a handful of old HTC phones (Hurricane, Hermes Virgin lobster tv) and Mazuma offered me just £35 for the lot
I had completely forgot about CEX as I hadn't seen them for years but I happened to stumble across one in Birmingham city center and they offered me £80 cash!! for the same phones and £105 for exchange!!
Dont bother with any of the ones on tv and if they are in good/mint condition and you still have the boxes, manuals, cables etc then you will get even more.
Greetings All,
I am heading out to the Middle East soon and am in need of a good GSM phone for my travels. While the majority of my time will be spent in Afghanistan, I will be taking vacation in other, yet to be determined parts of the world. As such my thoughts are to have one phone that will work pretty much everywhere and for which I can just purchase local sims and swap them out as I move around.
I am a big android fan, currently have an EVO 3D on Sprint (alas that will not work in afghan. The specs on this phone seems quite good, my only concern is trying to wrap my head around all the offered frequencies. Seems some phone offer some, others others, and no one really all of them.
If there are other concerns you feel I should be considering, please feel free to speak up, ask questions, etc. I plan to purchase it on Amazon, and I am aware I need an unlocked one and will have to pay about $500 - $600 for it.
Hi,
I want to buy my mother a new phone for her birthday, and have decided on an S7 because (a) I'll probably never have to buy her another phone again and (b) she'll be able to stay on the Sammy-train, where she's very firmly set *sigh*
However, I don't want to buy from a local store because the prices, (it's like the S8 line doesn't exist) and I'd also prefer an unlocked model in case she switches carriers. I've been looking at amazon.de, and their prices are more reasonable. But I have my doubts, mainly about if the phone I buy will turn out to be fully genuine (and brand-new), or will turn out to be somehow SIM-locked or have the wrong firmware like in this thread. [EDIT]Also, what about warranties & repair and stuff like that?[/EDIT] I'm aware that it will be region-locked to the EU, which every seller says it should be (and it better be the right region, too). I've come here with this query as it's likely to be the most knowledgable environment for S7 stuff. So, yeah, if there are horror stories out there, I'd love to hear them.
Finally, yes, I have searched, but all the relevant threads I found were about amazon in the US/Canada/RSA. I'm in the EU, and need more info on buying Samsung phones here, as I haven't done so for four years now. TIA for answers
