Discount HTC or PDA phones - General Topics

Does anyone know where to get discounted HTC or PDA phones I've searched all over but don't know how to search internationally for phones. I tried a guy from UK but got scammed on trying to get an Samsung Omnia. It was a Western Union scam that I found out about too late.

So no one knows a good website for discounted pda phones USA or International? Mods can close thread if seen fit.

A lot of folks use Ebay.com for used ppc's (U can verify the Sellers ratings & feedback).

Does Anyone know where to purchase the samsung omnia?

I've been searching for days online and I just simply can not find anywhere online that carries the samsung omnia. I know it is not released in america yet but usually you can at least find one overseas somewhere that sells them.
Its available here in Singapore but with telco contracts
oh really, whats the price with out contracts? Does that company have a website?
i'd say yes
Yeah they definitely have it over there but the thing cost 1098 with out contract of what ever their currency is over there which can't be good in American Dollars.
SO will there be info,support,tweeks, and such for the Samsung Omnia from this community?
Dude probably not. this site only really caters to HTC phones. It's very unfortunate though cause it seem that this phone will be the phone of the year for it's type. I lost a little respect for this site after the thread requesting to open a forum for the omnia was closed.

htc hd2 / leo - launch in the UK

hi,
i've been checked with the various providers that are supposed to launch this phone - o2/vodafone/t-mobile in the UK - but no one seems to have it in stock or have a clue on when it is expected. any insights into this or know where i can get one on contract in london.
thanks
O2 and T-mobile sell it atm. However there are very few in stock in the shops and the best way to get one would be to online order :/
Try Clove online., they are very reputable & fair prices.
thanks but o2 doesn't have it online yet and t-mobile doesnt have it in stock either and noone seems to have an idea when more will be available. while could buy it upfront would prefer to get it on contract. thanks.
If you didn't want it on contract then I would suggest these guys (just off Tottenham Court Road): www.inkino.co.uk
On contract is harder. Have you tried www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk or www.mobiles.co.uk ?

[Q] Desktop Dock in Canada

Hello,
I have been looking everywhere for the Nexus One desktop dock in Canada, but have not yet found a supplier. Would anyone know where's the best place to get one? Ebay is overpriced... I am looking anywhere from 50-70 USD.
Thanks.
bump... anyone?
I think you can buy one through android.com if you have a developer account. You might also try to order through http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/, but I'm not sure if they ship to North America.
I'm worried about where I'm going to get a replacement battery down the road. I always assumed that Google would continue to sell accessories after discontinuing the phone, but I guess they decided to give us a big middle finger instead.

Looking everywhere...
I called Nexus one support ---> tried to help me find one, but no avail.
I called america HTC shop ---> cannot use canadian based creditcard or paypal, they only ship to america. (i was actually okay with this since I could have asked my friend to send it over to me once received)
I checked accessory shop at UK (non in canada) ---> they do ship to canada, but they are out of stock until september 5th. Plus shipping is expensive
I checked ebay ---> I'm not going to bother explaining this one
I checked Amazon ---> 120 (with shipping). too expensive.
I'm getting pissed off now. Way to go google. This is the first time I'm questioning google's marketing team.
I have a pretty much brand new one for sale if you like. Think I've used it twice all up since I got it with my N1 5 months ago from the US?
I am based in Australia but am happy to ship worldwide.
I have sent you a PM.
cheers

[Q] Stores in the UK that sells HTC Phones

Hey I am new here
I am flying to the UK (London) in the end of May, and I wanted to ask if someone who lives in London knows any store there that sells Sim-Free HTC Phones? Basically I am asking that because I want to buy the HTC Sensation and I have only 4 days in London so I want to be prepared.
If there are several stores, I would like to hear all of them if you can or the cheapest+most reliable one (as much as possible ofcourse).
You'll have to buy if from vodophone unlocked
Sure it is possible?
And thanks for the comment.
I am not sure Vodafone sell unlocked phones. Your best bet will be any Carphone Warehouse store. All their phones are unlocked. If you ask to buy PAYG, you will save about £50 on the sim-free price but the good thing is you get the same phone you would have got if you bought it sim-free + you get a number and £10 or £20 credit to use while you are in London.
First, Thanks!
Second, I searched for the store near my Hotel and I found one really nearby so now I want to ask another question, if you have experience buying phones from them or heard something, Do they overprice? I mean here where I live I can go to the store and the price will be 800 pound and in Amazon it will be 600 pound for example.. not that huge differences but I hope you got my point.
Third, Do they get the last phones usually after they come out? because if it's said that the Sensation will come out on mid May, and I am coming on end May, I hope they'll have it by then.
Carphone Warehouse!
As far as I'm aware, Vodafone have it exclusively for May then other retailers will start selling in June, so you may be out of luck I'm afraid

[Q] HTC One X+ (AT&T version)

I found a HTC One X+ (AT&T version) on ebay. The matter is the price. The auction started in 370 USD. I think that is too cheap. The description says this
I am selling the latest HTC ONE X+ 64GB which is locked to ATT network. This is an upgrade in almost every department of the already fantastic and popular One X. Buyer assume full responsibility if purchasing to unlock and use on any network other than ATT. This phone is only two and a half weeks old and used for only about a week. It was in the Speck grip case from the time of purchase and is included in this auction. As you can see in the pictures the original charger and sync cable are still in wrappers. Included in this auction are the original box and manuals, phone, battery, AC wall charger and Sync cable, Sim eject pin, and brand new SPECK candyshell grip case. US bidders only and will ship to continental US only. I accept Paypal only as payment.

So I don't know if is this a scam, or there is a problem with this particular version, or it is impossible to unlock I don't know. What do you think guys about this version?
Well how many days are left on it? Nowadays people usually wait to bid last second on eBay and even if it was a scam and you paid your money eBay and PayPal will always side with the buyer usually

Are there any comments about this version?
You could try posting in the One X+ forum and checking with people who already own the device?

Auctions often start at a low price to attract attention. As mentioned, most the bidding happens on the last day of the auction, even the last hours/minutes. Bidding a high price early just pushes the auction price unnecessarily high.
Bidders determine the ultimate price of the item. So you can't tell if an eBay auction is a scam, solely by price. Look at the sellers rating.

I found the auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-X-6...1039819421?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2e89129d
There are four days left to go. Rest assured the price will go up substantially based on what others are selling for.
The seller has two feedbacks, both from selling phones, apparently both today. I would be a bit wary of this--who knows where he got these?

Thanks for your comments. I sent a mail to the seller asking this:
Hi
1.- Which is the firmware version?
2.- Did you try to unlock it before?
3.- Why are you selling this htc?
Cheers

He answered this:
I do not have the firmware version readily available. The phone is already boxed and ready for shipping because someone already had won it in a previous auction. However he was from Russia and I do not ship internationally and so this is a relisted auction. I can unbox it tomorrow and power it on and give you the firmware number. I have never attempted to unlock the phone but I have read that it is definitely possible but I am unsure of what networks it would work on. That is up to the buyer however it is my understanding that it should work on any GSM network worldwide as long as the bands are supported. I am selling the phone because I am somewhat of a phone junkie and have many different phones. I am currently using a Lumia 920 and at the moment prefer the WP8 platform. I also have the LG Optimus G and a Samsung S3!!! I will probably be selling those off too in the near future. If you look at my history I have sold already a One X, Focus 2, Atrix 2, and Galaxy S3
