Hi,
I have bought two HTC TOUch devices (Polaris). One for Private and one for my Work Phone...I use only one of them. The other one is in his box an is not open! sealed by a strip. If you want one, I can send it to your personal adress. My price is 500 euros; 50 e lesser than I bought. the post fees are offer.
Cordialy,

information:
o2 warranty is just for first buyers. ppl who buy a 'used' (doesn matter if or not) cant send it to o2 if it has any issues. even if you have the original pay-off
thats what is written in my o2 warranty card (germany)

re
I bought my Touch cruise from Windowsonthego.com
They offer local pickup in Canada but ship worldwide.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Selling HTC TOUCH PRO - RAPHAEL

Hello, I am selling my HTC TOUCH PRO - Raphael. It has been used for 2 weeks.
The condition is AS NEW. There are no scratches, marks or dents at all.
Screen Protector was fitted from the day of purchase.
It comes boxed with all accessories that I have received with it.
It is unlocked to all networks and Hard SPL will also come installed on it. Unless you want Stock SPL installed. Any Rom of your choice will come installed or Any stock rom will come installed. You choose.
This phone has a small vodafone logo at the front and at the back.
I am not putting up any pictures because this is my only camera.
I will ship to the E.U. and will get proof of postage which means I have really posted it. Postage will be next working day for the UK using royal mail special delivery and for the rest of the countries will be 3-8 working days.
Payment is by paypal. Price that I want is 400GBP including postage.
This is a very cheap price because they are very expensive on shops.
Any questions please ask here on this thread. Or PM me.
I am a genuine person. The only reason I am selling this is because I have ordered a new TOUCH HD from play.com using my credit card. and will have to pay for it in the next couple of weeks. Therefore need to sell this ASAP so I can pay for the other one. Otherwise BANK will kill me. LOL
PS: paypal is gone highly secured now. They have removed their protection limits so that means if you buy the phone for 1000 POUNDS you are protected for the FULL ammount. UK postage will be covered up to 500 POUNDS insurance. International Postage will not be covered with insurance but it will be posted using the safest method of posting from Royal Mail.
PRICE: 400GBP INCLUDING POSTAGE. ANY QUESTIONS ASK HERE OR PM.
Thank You

Do you really think you can get that much price?
I've got a brand new in box with seal not even broken for 310 from ebay, the normal price on ebay for brand new is between 350-380
Good luck!

Hello, Thank you for replying.
I am sorry to tell you that you are mistaken, the cheapest price on ebay currently is 420pounds plus postage. If i put my phone on ebay I can deffinately get 400 including postage for it. If you got yours for 310 then you are very lucky. My reason to put it in here is that I am giving a chance to buy this phone to someone that is a member of this community. If i do not sell within a couple of days. I will put it on ebay. Thank You

I don't think it's really necessary to strike doubt in potential buyers' minds in the seller's thread, if you don't agree with his price, don't buy his phone. I feel bad for the rest of the world, including you guys in the UK who are trying to sell your Raphael, once the Fuze releases there will be a flood of unlocked European Touch Pro's on the market. Good luck with the sale.

Well considering the dollar is weak compared to the Euro or GBP wouldn't be suprised if people buy the HTC Fuze from the US. $500 bucks for a Fuze is great considering what somebody in Europe is going to pay. Granted you are losing the front camera.

And you're losing 3G, the Fuze is dual-band UMTS 850/1900.
Not likely for them to buy it for that reason.

Why would the US version be tri-band while the European version is dual-band? It doesn't make sense... I can't say I've seen a retail box yet, until then I'm not sure.

Coz the FUZE which is the US version accepts the all the UMTS bands. I have read it on review. If you want I can send u the link. But my question is why the hell AT&T or SPRINT or any US network remove the front camera from their phones?

Because they don't support video calling. The Fuze certainly doesn't support ALL of the UMTS bands, that'd be a penta-band UMTS phone. 850/900/1700/1900/2100. If anything it does one of these 2: 850/1900 or 850/1900/2100.

actually its triband umts!! i was really surprised when i bought it as well. I can definately see the fuze being in more demand than the touch pro, as its truly a world phone. here is a picture for the doubters, right off the box of my at&t fuze:

doesnt that also make you think that the touch pro has these bands, but they need to be enabled via software? i know that people have been working on this un-successfully for a while, but it makes no sense for htc to make two different chips.. seems un-necessarily expensive and makes no sense, why would they want to limit such an expensive phone??

Well, yes and no. Normally you'd say "oh man the Touch Pro has to support tri-band"... If that's the case, okay, 900/2100, and what? 1900? 850? Either way it's not supporting both North American UMTS bands unless it's a QUAD-band UMTS phone. We're forgetting the Touch Pro isn't 850/2100 or 1900/2100, it's 900/2100. So are you saying the North American version can have 900mhz UMTS unlocked via software as well? The Tilt was tri-band, I don't see quad-band UMTS in these phones, that's just my opinion.

Quoting myself from the Blackstone (HD) forum......
Blob8me said:
I have the HD (collected from HandTec on Thursday) - I also have the Diamond and the Pro and so have been comparing them constantly for a few days now.
My conclusion so far for what its worth - the HD is NOT an upgrade from the Pro or Diamond - it is in fact a very different phone and should be considdered in its own right and not compared. As a business user - stick with the Pro - for general phone use - go for the diamond - for entertainment on the move - the HD "may" be the phone for you? I'll be sticking with my Pro for general business use and will continue to work on the HD for now....
Hope this helps......

Nooooooo..... DON'T DO IT......!!!!! if you've ordered the HD as an upgrade from the Pro - send the HD back to play unopened - you'll be dissapointed....
If it was a completely different "phone" experience you were looking for then you'll be fine but if your expecting a step up from the Pro to the HD then you'll be dissapointed...... Sigh....
.

I think the HD is really my kinda phone honestly, I love everything about it. I'm someone who doesn't own a digital camera, so my phone is my only camera... 5MP? Perfect. I also don't own an mp3 player... Headphone jack? Awww yeahhh! Keyboard would be nice, but with a 3.8" screen I'd be fine. The only thing that kills me is the lack of 3G, I do absolutely everything with my phone, and edge just won't cut it (no pun intended).

so what about price now..i hope its realy reasonable for me as a student..

[Q] Buying NS outside of US and UK

I live in europe, but not in UK. Does anyone have ideas about how I should get my hands on the Nexus S, when it becomes available?
Any thoughts are most welcome

If you can wait, then sign up here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/nexuss/
If you're in a hurry, then there are a few options:
1. Best Buy + delivery service like http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/default.aspx
2. eBay. Prices are about $730 now, I'd wait a bit.
3. Wait for somebody local to import a load of phones and sell on at higher price.

Carphone warehouse, vodafone contract only tho

Please inform us if you will recieve a phone ..
A lot of friends bought iPhone 4 in Apple store in other country and they recieved it via freight forwarders. It would be strange if Nexus S can be bought in this way, because they will only lower their sales.

According to this review, it will be available in EU in February and it will have lower price than Galaxy S i9000:

Also at that time Samsung will unveil i9100..

Well, if BB don't want my money, then I will happily take it elsewhere. There might be an initial rush, but come January it will not be difficult to get one online, no matter where you live. Well, perhaps if you're on the ISS.

I think you can use site like MyUSABox (http://www.myusabox.com/), but personally I don't have experience with it. Don't know if anyone can comment about the site

Seems pretty unlikely.
I'm pretty sure they are unable to block credit cards by country.
If your credit card belongs to an established network (Visa or Mastercard for example), the payment should go through smoothly.
I'll be placing an order as soon as the Nexus S is in stock at best-buy.com, I'll keep you guys posted regarding the payment.

I find no mention of warranty anywhere at all at Google, eBay or Best Buy. US warranties tend to be short, so I'd guess a phone sold in Greece would have a longer warranty, but at a higher price.

That will probably never happen. If you could buy loads of stuff somewhere at $530, would you sell them on eBay at the same price?

Sim free £530 at phones4u

I went to my phones4u and asked if they have the sensation sim-free. The guy said they can sell it for £530
I compared the the size with the gs2 and the gs2 looks like its the same size but the sensation feels smaller.
I'm really tempted but is it worth the extra £30?
Perhaps I can haggle them =P

I'm guessing that if they have one to sell you now then it will still be vodafone branded as they are exclusive to vodafone until early/mid june... so be careful.
When the unlocked/unbranded versions are available you should expect to get one cheaper than that. Handtec are now taking pre-orders for them at £497.99 inc vat and theirs will be available at the same time as all others selling the unbranded version I guess.

Yes, it is still Vodafone branded, though unlocked...I had them check one in my local Phones4U.
I was going to try a SGS2 but with the news that HTC are reviewing their bootloader policy I will probably wait a bit now!

I guess ill hold out a little bit longer. The 1st of July I believe is the expected date but hopefully it will be sooner!

The unbranded version will be out in about two weeks, I think at this point waiting for that one is worthwhile.

I have a UK Vodafone Sensation and it is SIMFREE, has been so out-of-the-box.
Yesterday I Visited Phones4U in Manchester wanting to buy a unit for someone. We tried it in store and it was LOCKED to Vodafone, worked only with Vodafone SIM.
I guess they were in rush to supply units to the stores on 19th May and had had no time to lock them, but did so for following shipments.

I went to phones4u in London yesterday and was going to get the Sensation with the £35 Vodafone contract.
I asked if I could try my T-Mobile sim it, and it worked, so they let me buy the phone for £529 without the contract.
So my advice is: try it in the store first with your existing sim.

No physical branding on the outside of the phone.
You see the Vodafone logo for literally 2 seconds when you first boot up, and even then it's not the word 'Vodafone', just the logo of the inverted comma which isn't intrusive at all.
There are 3 Vodafone apps installed: 360 Shop, 360 Updates and Music Shop, but obviously you can remove those from the home screen, although I couldn't remove the actual apps themselves.

No idea. Its only tmobile phones. I live in Baltimore, MD and its a special at more than one shack here. I think tmobile is tryna reel in a bunch of customers before the possible merger. I saw it today so they should still be doing it. You are definitely going to need a two year contract. The offer is in-store only. Not online.

panamoz.com has it for £345, delivery to the UK is £9.99, only thing is because they are based in Hong Kong it could be the Asian version you get. Although you can still select english language on the handset so its not such a big problem.
Cheapest I can find the european version is £399 at amazon currently.
Cheers

Sadly in lebanon the HTC agent is selling it at more than 800$, he says that its more expensive cz of the 1 year limited warranty ,is this true?? i dont think so , i tried contacting HTC to file a complaint but with no luck till now , their agent is adding 100$ to 300$ on each htc phone , i cant believe how htc is letting this happen.

600 euros ( $822) here in Greece without contract!!!

Thats what im talking about!! how can htc let their agents take advantage of its possible customers like that!! unacceptable
