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).

buying htc touch pro
hi, im interested of buying htc touch pro (2nd).

Nice! I'm deciding whether to get this, Incredible S or DHD. Can you help? I'm not to concrened about the size. They all pretty much have the same specs. My only concern for the DHD is crap battery life, but it wont be as bad as my TG01. (1ghz cpu + 1000 mah)
The DHD will be cheaper though with the release of these new phones right?
What do you think? DHD or Desire S? I'm lookin for a cheaper phone. Will the DHD get the Sense update and gingerbread update? If so, i'm sold!
Cheers
price
it will be very competitive i think this is what mid-rang will be.
high end:
dual core 1gig ram + 4"+ screen 480x800 +
mid range:
single core 3.5-3.7 inch screen
low end:
600-800 mhz 3.2" to 3.5"less rgab
UK Prices
Carphone Warehouse has prices for the Desire S:
Handset only: £394.95
(Desire Z is now the same price, Galaxy S is £384.95).
Contracts on Vodafone and T-Mobile
CPW Desire S Prices
For a 24-month contract on Vodafone, free at £25/month without data; free at £30/month with 500MB.
T-Mobile, similar, but £30.64/month with "unlimited" data.
Those contracts look pricey for a phone which is only £10 more than the Galaxy S (Vodafone has the SGS free at £20-£25/month).
I expect (hope!) prices might fall in a few weeks when Orange and O2 contracts are available.

price is actually decent for carphone warehouse! their DHD is priced at £459! and the desire s is better!
Hello,
handtec is more cheaper.
clickr here
Mmmm £377.99. That does seem good for a phone that isn't out yet. Personally I think it will drop even more with competition from the dual core phones coming. I will be sitting on my bank balance for a bit longer yet...
There is also the new Samsung Galaxy S II Mini for HTC to compete with. It will be interesting to see how much that is with a 1.4Ghz processor and same size screen.
please help... this or Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (single core) i cannot afford dual cores. is the SGS still worth it?
does this have crap 2touch like the old desore or improved true multi touch.
help please!
I would check them out in a store - when it's available. Personally I would go for the DS though.

I plan to buy the Sensation out right in the next few weeks and sell my G2x to make up for some of the cost and make the purchase smaller.
I have two routes.
Get this Sensation from Expansys, and enjoy 100% what HTC intended with Sense, with no bloat. Along with no Carrier branding. I wouldn't have to pay taxes. A potential to get an S-Off version as well. If I go this route I will make this the first phone I add to my collection of phones.
Or
Go in store and purchase it out right and have bloat and carrier branding, but be required to pay taxes. If I go this route I will sell this phone once the next big thing hits T-Mobile in order to reduce overall price for new phone.
I live in Nevada and taxes are usually pretty high and make the purchase price more. What are some thoughts on this?

Well hombre,
the one from expansys isn't 4G compatible, where as the tmo branded one is. If that's not a deal breaker than throw the S-Off dice and get the unbranded one.
Really? The unbranded Sensation doesn't have HSPA+ capability?

Check your own link man, I clicked it and read the specs.
All I saw was band compatibility and it didn't say much else other than speeds it can download and upload. I saw on GSM Arena and both have the same network compatibility (HSDPA) which leads me to believe that GSM Arena needs to update its info. Both have same download and upload which leads me to believe that 14.4mbps download is accurate. Either way, its still going to download from the network fast.
From the tech data
"Network5 HSPA/WCDMA: Europe/Asia/T-Mobile US: 900/AWS/2100 MHz Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz"
Go through customer care or radio shack. My final price was 600$ at the T-mobile store
Unbranded it is then lol. I shoulda went with you when you got it kyle lol.
I bought mine outright instore. £470 simfree from carphonewarehouse
I ordered mine off the T-Mobile website for a final price of $600

Agreed. I love this phone, but the SGSII simply has it beat in every single aspect (besides the qHD of course).
I cant spend that much for a phone. I just cant, the amount I would make back from selling the G2x wouldn't be much to dent the total cost.
I would just get one locally, some people are selling some identity theft-obtained ones or using their upgrades to make some cash.. and they're going for OK amounts of cash.
The Sensation 4G has better reception due to the extra antenna for Receive Diversity
Nah I want a recipt and proof of purchase security and returnability. G2x was boughr off hand and I could have returned for buyers remorse but I had to ship to original owner, long story short I want security.
just putting in my 2 cents...thumbs up for purchasing outright...i've been on that cycle for years and get brand new phones every year to 14 months for half price but selling my previous handset
i bought the sensation last week brand new (unlocked, unbranded, unbloated) for AUD $499, and sold my HTC Desire for $300 (because again it was unlocked, unbranded, etc)...$200 for a Sensation is a sweet deal to me
i usually buy from Hong Kong or UK online
i got the Sensation here - ordered on sunday, arrived by fedex on thursday

i can't take screenshots and i can't use titanium...that's the only difference for me
I know you guys are talking about buying it outright but I just had to share my experience.... I went to the T-Mobile store and got them to price match Walmart's price of 148.88 and he told me to bring in proof and he would give me back the difference, in the meantime I went ahead with a normal upgrade of 249.99 with the mail in rebate of $50 I brought the proof in the next day and was credited back $101 and still got my rebate card back of $50 making my total purchase of the phone $98.88 with a 2 year contract of course...
Looks like Pricing for the HTC One S (US Tmobile version) was leaked or so tech article reads. Same price as HTC one X on AT&T w/ 2 year contract and $50 rebate. Should have been cheaper IMO.
http://www.bostonherald.com/busines...hone_users_in_ecstasy/srvc=home&position=also
Sorry if this is not helpful to anyone.
I'm more interested in the Retail off contract price. That's listed at $599 right now. Also it looks like the T-Mobile version isn't the MAO version. I was really looking forward to the MAO version despite all of the issues with it.
What bothers me the most is that AT&T will probably sell the higher classed HTC One X for the same price off contract. So Tmobile is overpricing their HTC One S seeing how it very obviously lies a tier below the One X according to HTC.
I understand it's Tmobile's flagship phone right now, but you still have to price it according to everything else on the market and not just what is available on your own network... that's how you lose customers.

Agreed. I am a little disappointed but I guess I will just deal with it... Thanks for the link.
Yeah bigger screen and higher resolution. Also LTE... so if you consider the things that people look for in a phone as screen size, processor, screen resolution, storage size, and network speed... then the AT&T HTC One X has larger screen, higher resolution, and faster network speed. So 3 of the 5 things people look for in new phones are a "generation" above the Tmobile HTC One S.
I don't really care about most of those things within reason which is why the HTC One S appeals to me. It's the right balance. That being said it's still lower end than the One X... even in the version AT&T is getting.
This is a huge Tmobile fail imo. Most of us will suck it up and buy it anyway, but like I said... that's not how to make a customer happy.

its not just bigger, its a IPS panel with 720p, which make it the best on the market today. One X also has NFC
also looks like no MAO after all the hype. Is that a good thing.....I dont know.
I just wish I knew if ATT coverage was same or better then Tmobile in Boston area, then I would just switch to ATT and get One X with pretty much zero compromises vs One S
AT&T 3G frequencies?
Anybody knows if the T-mobile HTC One S version also supports the AT&T 850/1900 3G frequencies? The T-Mobile support forum says yes, but the specs on the website do not specify them. If it does, then I would buy it full price, unlock it and use it on the AT&T network (the international unlocked version of the One S is missing the 1900 3G band).
Thanks.
Cell companies price all new phones at the same price off contract. An off contract phone should be no more than 400.00 to 450.00. They price them high so you feel like you are getting value with a 200.00 on contract price.

Looks like if you Buy this through Costco.com you can get it for $189 w/2 year contract plus $25 costco cash card and free accessories. Free shipping too. There is no MIR either. Best deal out there so far. you can pre-order it now too. But you have to select a data plan from them when buying that will run you $35 or 65$ a month. Cheaper to go through T-mobile.

I have two issues. 1. Screen size (like everyone is saying) 2. The bigger issue for me is the potential lower resolution for hooking up to a monitor. Although I don't know if movies will have the same resolution, I would love to hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse while connecting to my TV for web surfing and more. Right now I bring my laptop and do that for watching movies and internet video presentations on the web for family, friends, and work. The thing is, for the price, I might as well buy a tablet with hdmi out and keep my old phone for tethering purposes.
Additionally, with smartphone makers listening to the market for future innovations, the message is muddled by carrier contracts and business models. In other words, carriers needs will overshadow consumers, and companies like HTC will wonder why their market share isn't doing better for the "allowed" upgrades. IMO, this is why tablets like the kindle and nook are so limited (using nook to type this).
Does anyone know what the early upgrade price will be?
I just ordered it from best buy, kept the same plan I had Unlimited Data throttled at 5gb. $199 free shipping. $223 after taxes and upgrade fees. Ships out the 22nd and says will be at my door step the 24th. That's according to Best buy. Will see.

I think early upgrade fee is like $404 or something close to that. If you have been a longtime T-Mobile customer they will usually give you a full upgrade if you ask for the customer loyalty dept. Ask what's the best price they can give you on your plan and phone because your interested in switching to At&t for the One X.
They should hook you up. I've done this 6 months ago and they gave me a $200 account credit and full upgrades on 2 of my lines when I wasn't due for almost 14 months. Been with T-Mobile for 10 years best at trying to keep customers.

its doesnt say it will ship on 22nd, it says AFTER 22nd. the rumors were that One S will be available on 25th
"BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 18, 2012 —Today, T-Mobile USA, Inc. and HTC Corp. announced the highly anticipated HTC One ™ S will be available at T-Mobile ® stores nationwide on April 25"
I know the release date. Just going by what my receipt said for the extra 4.99 I paided for express shipping. Either way I still get it.

I happened to have lost my Sony Z3 Compact in a cab in China last week and am on the hunt for a new phone .. I was for 90% sure that the Play was going to be my next, but they've just announced the pricing and availability in Australia. Here it comes, both the Play and Style will be released next month (regarding the Play, why is it so hard to release it worldwide on the same day??) and both will be only be available through Vodafone (Really?? Carrier-locked while the rest of the world gets it unlocked?!) , which has 5M subscribers out of 30M total mobile subscriptions (most at Telstra and Optus) and the worst coverage possible. The Play might be sold "later on" for the beautiful price of 569AU$ (to be confirmed, =378E, 420US$), making it a mid-range phone at the price of a Z3 and around 70AU$ more expensive than my lost Z3 Compact..

Sorry for this little rant, but I could barely believe what I just read. It looks like Moto is not even trying to sell the phone over here..
Oh yeah, feel free to recommend me any Android phone I'm currently looking at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 or a HTC One M8/Samsung S5 (can find them refurbished for +- 345AU$). I highly dislike Touchwiz and never thought it'd be buying a Samsung device, but none of the other manufacturers have anything compelling to offer around that price (and I dislike the OP2's invite system even more than Touchwiz). Thanks!
Yeah odd move by Motorola, I guess they aint too fond of Vegemite.
I think my logic makes the most sense lol

Flipping Heck! Vodafone have released off contract price.
AUS$792 ... When a phone costs more than the UK price you know thats bloody expensive!

nah, Canada sells it carrier locked too...
Well... there's this one thing that doesn't suck about mobile phones in brazil: they sell it unlocked and even the contract binded ones are unlocked or easily unlockable.
