Hi
I am interested in buying the TouchPro and was considering buying it from either DeviceWire or Handtec. Has anyone, outside the UK preferably, bought something from either of these sites? If yes, what delivery companies do they use?
Thanks
george
It depends from where outside of UK you're ordering. Usually within EU they use one delivery company, and further outside another.

Hi Guys and Gals
I am selling my XDA2i, which has been unlocked and tested to work on Orange, T Mobile, Vodaphone and O2 networks, only setback is a couple of scratches on the left hand side but nothing major, works perfectly
You will also get Tom Tom 5 incl the UK, European and USA maps as well as a DVD full of the latest applications and games
Please PM me with any offers or email me on [email protected]
I am willing to ship abroad but the buyer will have to pay for postage
Thanks
I have decided that will take £300 for my device, this will include Special Delivery postage to anywhere in the UK. I have checked Ebay and this seems a fair price I think
Overseas buyers you will have to pay the relevant postage to your country on top of the price above
If you think this is too high then please let me know what you think is reasonable
Thanks
I have reconsidered and am willing to take £240, this will include shipping to any UK address. Overseas buyers the price will depend on where the item is to be sent.
I have decided to buy O2 Mini S, I think it seems a logical step forward as the XDA Exec is too bulky and not as cool
Let me know what you all think
not bein funny but i think you signature is puttin people off.
that and the xda mini s is about £150 on the data5 tarrif with a trade in handset (factoring in line rental and assuming you keep your existing sim, as you would buying SG's xda2).
Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get an O2 Atom from in the UK (except for eBay of course).
I'm in London so does anyone know if any shops on Tottenham Court Road stock them or can order them?
Also, I've noticed a lot of eBay ads for PDA phones recently from Chinese sellers with random names and no feedback, not accepting paypal! I reported them to eBay to check out but didn't hear anything back (against their policy apparently). Has anyone successfully ordered anything from one of these sellers, or had any bad experience? Look out if you spot any deals that are too good to be true!
Cheers,
Joe
I don't buy things costing more than 20 dollars from anybody who doesn't take PayPal! Very simple reason: They're usually, not sometimes, crooks! And I don't buy anything costing more than 50 dollars from anybody who doesn't have a bunch of good feedback either. Doing so is just setting yourself up for a big, expensive fall.
I don't want to have to pay £549 for this device, particularly since it's only $529 in the USA (!!). I'm guessing that Carphone Warehouse will keep the phone at this overpriced level for as long as possible though.
Has caught any mention at all of how long this exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse will last?
Carphone Warehouse is owned by Best Buy so prob exclusive to them the same amount of time it is to Best Buy. Could be a while.
Try ebay, you might find a cheaper price.

eBay is a good idea, however it seems unlikely that people will be buying from Carphone Warehouse (the only place to buy) to then sell off cheap on eBay. I guess some people may import them, dodge the VAT, then sell cheap on eBay.
Ordered mine from CPW on the day it was announced. After import duty and delivery and waiting for them to show up on eBay I doubt it would be cheaper, and £550 is still cheaper than an iPhone4.
Phoned the local store it's being delivered to today and they don't know when it will be there so just have to wait for the head office to send it out and let me know.

I am looking for this cradle from anywhere that accept Paypal but except mobilefun.co.uk.
I haven't managed to find any though. If anyone found one or similar (but with audio jack and headphone external jack like that one), let me know.
Yeah my eye also on this cradle. Unfortunately I haven't found it on ebay either. Mobilefun only has it. I hope Chinese guys wake up immediately and see this
mobilefun will stock it in 2 days but I'm not willing to buy anything from a shop which uses discrimination policy (higher price for non-UK buyers) when others sell at the same price. Since they are all Chinese, let's wait and see, maybe they appear somewhere else as well.

Hey! We're just getting our own back. Normally we (in the UK) pay MORE than non-UK peeps for the same thing. The usual story is that something that costs $10 in the US will cost £10 here. When the exchange rate is £1=$1.50!!!!
And I can't see the different pricing. I put one in my 'cart' and asked for international delivery and it was just a few pence more than delivery in the UK .... and they HAVE to charge more for international delivery than UK delivery seen as how they're a UK company.
Or have I missed something?

You are missing something.
Of course delivery price will be higher depending on the destination. The price difference I mention is not in regards to exchange difference. I mean that you buy a DHD for example which is shown GBP470, if I buy it from outside UK, they will convert it to somewhere around GBP560 although this is not the real exchange rate. I contacted them and they state this as a policy. mobilefun and expansys does this so I am not shopping from them. handtec and a few other shops don't do this. I bought my DHD for GBP470 form them at that price and the loss of currency convertion will be something that I either win or lose during payment from my bank account and it wil not be so significant, maybe a few pounds.

Oh, I see what you're saying. But that's just what we Brits have had to put up with for years so I have no sympathy for that particular problem. Hope you get the best deal you can though.

Was interested in this but £20+ seems quite steep for a piece of plastic, a USB cable and a battery connector.

I'm sure this is the same if not a similar product if your looking for a Paypal compatible seller.
Anybody know of a cheaper version of the product without the extra battery charger?

these floating around eBay but worry about the transfer speed / reliability of the product.

as an experienced ebay user in both selling and buying, you will be hard pushed to find something cheap that is shipped quickly AND is of good quality, better to spend more and get it from a reputable supplier
Is there a place to order Touchpad's official accessories (mostly the touchstone and they wireless keyboard) for EU countries (Greece)?
I've searched for a while but the prices go for like 50€ prize w/o VAT + 50€ shipping costs...
Your best bet is probably eBay.
Most of the items in ebay.com or .uk arent listed for shipment towards Greece
You can always ask the seller...
Do you have any family or friends in the US that could buy it, and ship it to you?
Know that's a terrible work-around, but I know people that were overseas in the military that had to do that.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
For the bluetoothh Keyboard, have a look at Amazon Germany ( http://www.amazon.de/webOS-Bluetoot...Y0TU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1324552340&sr=8-5 ), it's around 22€ without postage, don't know if they ship to greece.
For the touchstone and case, have a look at this ebay.co.uk seller, he ships also to Greece http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JUNGLEZON/_i.html?_nkw=hp&submit=Search&_sid=358453345
Have u consider a a freight forwarder company?
