Fantastic little-known feature of Google. Just type "327.65 GBP in USD" (without the double quotes) into Google and it will give you the answer. You can do all sorts of convertions this way, e.g. "29 inches in mm" or "58 cc in pints" (or "58 cc in UK pints" if you want to do it properly ). You can even do simple calculations like "(22 / 7) + 5".
Google currently converts £327.65 to 641.73529 U.S. dollars.

Brilliant. Just cancelled my Expansys order and ordered from Devicewire. The salesperson told me they had sold 200 today and they are going fast.
Should get it next monday.

£49.25 for delivery to germany! Never... What a deception. If i send something to GB i pay always £11.46! Waiting for the GER-ROM is much better Congratulations to all purchaser

No idea. Black silver I guess?
I would have preferred the O2 form factor but the original will have to do as O2 is not available here in Iceland.

Have any of you been able to 'track' the shipment ? I can't see where I would find the tracking number ?

I don't see a tracking number and my status just says 'shipped'. Mine is coming tomorrow.

memory card come with it ?

just orderd mine....
i first got to hear of its release today on tracy and matt's blog. its was so sudden everywhere was just delaying it even more. anyway 86 left on devicewire after my order. i just can't belive HTC's press release from Nov 12 said it was launched then.... and only just now are we ordering it.
i hope everyone gets one, i cant wait till MONDAY.

Just ordered mine too for Saturday delivery. However, stock still showing 86, so I don't think it is updating live. Items might be lot fewer in the stock actually than it is showing and we might get the updated stock info in the morning. Hopefully, my order was in time as can't wait any longer ...... my kaiser would be on ebay on Sat .... anyone interested ???

but how can ask for international shiping? only seems UK.

Touch Cruise Now in at Inkino, London
Hi,
Just picked up my HTC Touch Cruise from Inkino on Tottenham Court Road in London. If you are after one I would hurry as I witnessed five being sold whilst I was there. Didn't think it would be this popular.
Mind you, my latest object of desire is one hell of a PDA/Phone (if you do not need a keyboard)
Cheers

UK price - Online for £359.88...

..delivered next day, seems a good price or a mistake as it appears to be £110 cheaper than anywhere else, or are prices on the way down.

err link? website etc

Sorry, yes, edited original post.

BUMP!!!
...and, Doh!!! I paid £480 for mine about 7 weeks ago. Sigh. I wonder if people have stopped buying them because of some of the possible issues!

just found it on hotdeals! posted by..... you nice
why soo cold tho??? full of knobs!

You got to love and hate hotdeals.
It is without doubt a bargain, if you want one and can afford it, I believe that people on that site just vote cold on anything they dont want or cant afford or dont understand, shame really.

Thanks for that - i've been waiting for play.com to have a 10% discount which would have only bought the price down to £432(approx).
This is a great price - i only hope they don't say its a mistake as it looks like one (its cheaper than the Diamond which is £363.39).
It Should arrive on Thursday - just ordered it now.

I've decided to give a WM phone a go again and ordered myself.
To start with I'll just use it with a data sim, to see what its like, as you can't knock a blackberry for staying in touch with IM etc, but Im just so bored of the crap browser experience and lack of software like Live Mesh, which I use one hell of a lot to keep things synced.
I'll use both for a few weeks and see how it goes.

Looks like they have discovered it - gone back up to £466.89 without postage.
Good thing i bought mine

LOL! I don't feel so sick now ; )
spark9990, when your new pro arrives, please could you take a look at what version ROM it ships with now? (start/settings, system tab, device information - though I'm sure you'll know that already). Congratulations on getting such a great price!!!

Yes and mines on tracking so give them credit for keeping the price for those that bought.
I've used them many times actually and they always have been good.

Let me know what you find - I'm trying to find out if they can do that as well.

Had they sent emails to you both confirming dispatch? If so then then I guess they had entered into a contract with you... talk to Trading Standards for a firm answer....

I don't have proof of that - but i do have a receipt, and they did take money out of my account.
Then without my permission carried out a refund transaction. I trying to find out how to contact trading standards but in the mean time i am going to try to reason with sellers.

In a retail store, if a product is tagged as a cheaper price by mistake, then the retailer has to give it at that price.

If Handtec had debited your back account/credit card account, then they had entered into a contract with you to supply that item at that price. Speak to both Trading Standards and Handtec about it and make sure you can demonstrate that they had taken your dosh. All you did is select a product on Handtec's website in good faith and, for their part, it would appear that they too entered into that contract to suppply it, so I suggest they honour it!
EDIT: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, and they should have an entry in your local phone book. Kent is 0845 7585497 (just in case - good luck!)

Thats not true. Most big stores (such as Tesco) will sell you at the quoted price for the good will. By Law they infact have something like 24 hours to correct the price once notified by a customer, during which time they can sell at a different price than is quoted.

That is really bad!
I thought maybe it had something to do with stock levels, but if it got to the depot, you think they would have realised!
Hope you get a response from them or Trading Standards

Collect Order Cruzerlite Case Germany Nexus 4

thread can be closed!

I would be eventually interested in buying a XDA-Developer case. But they are only released in 4-6 weeks.
Also you should keep in mind that you have to pay 19% EUST when the order is about 22€.

Yeah I know but it would be cheaper nonetheless. Total cost 11.90€ + shipping in Germany. The order must be less than 150€ in value as well to avoid customs...

I pre-ordered one on the 11th Dec and it shipped on the 10th Jan.

I need a BLACK Androidfied A2 for my Galaxy Nexus (12.90 dollars), because I can't find this color in any european stores :crying:
An international ordinary shipment from Germany to Italy is quite cheap and fast. :good:
So, if you need my help, just ask me and let me eventually know how much for shipment costs.

It's 3,45 euros with Großbrief International by Deutsche Post.
A good price for me...
If you find all german buyers, I know it's easier for you...so follow that way and just let my offer go.
But if you can't achieve the 100$ limit, keep me in mind and let me know with a PM... I'm always available.

Okay. Maybe I will buy as many as necessary and sell them on ebay afterwards.
But I can order one for you too! That would be with taxes 12,5€.

What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?

The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!

They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.

Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...

Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol

Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.

Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.

bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.

I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.

Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.

They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model
