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 ?

I'm sick and tired of repeatedly ringing all my local o2 stores to see if they've got any in stock, so please post if you know of any that do - preferably in the Surrey/London area.
Also with out starting another thread on best price etc. O2 offering XDa II at £199 on £15p/m contract so therefore cost £379 over the year. I'm not going to use the contract at all just intererested in handset and this is cheaper than I can pick up a second hand one on ebay. However if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get hold of one please let me know. (in another thread someone said o2 selling it for £300 sim-free but to be honest not sure I believe that to be correct!).
I doubt you can find one by phoning the shop up. My local o2 shop has a list of customers waiting for a xda. Last time I looked it was two pages long and they're only getting 3 handsets a week from distrribution.

Why would you pay that much for a Tilt. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a TyTNII unlocked from a website in europe?
get to new york and go to craigslist.org and find a new one there for $400, -+$50. order an unlock code off ebay for $15 and your done for a lot less.
just make sure to meet the seller in person, test it out, and pay cash

uh.. wow never heard about craiglist..
how does it work? i'm giving a look right now!
thank you for the moment
ok..
i found some interesting offers on ebay..
i think the best choice for me is to bid for an at&t locked phone on ebay for 450~500 dollars (shipping included) + an unlock code (15$).. this should do the trick..
then i'll flash the latest italian rom + radio..
do you think this will work? will i have problems?
thank you very much!!
for what its worth, craigslist is just a localized site for locals to deal with each other. it started in san francisco and has expanded throughout the world, so even check italy for a local site...that'd be cool
if you do try craigslist, email them when you're in new york and ask for a phone number and talk it out to meet and purchase at a public space, that's all. its just like newspaper classifieds
when you flash, make 100% you do the hard-spl first. radios and stuff, i don't know about for italian roms though
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
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

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first question.
I live in Eastern Europe but a friend of mine offered to get me a HTC Sensation in UK, that she can get through her subscription to O2 UK.
I would like to know if I get this phone do I have to unlock it to use in other country?
Do the O2 Sensations have custom menus and applications? If so, is it possible to get rid of them?
I'm sorry if these questions have been answered here but I couldn't find them.
If this is not the right place to find these answers, could someone point me to where I can find them?
Thank you.
Caty.
If it's direct through O2 it will have their own ROM, which has O2 splash screens and pre-installed apps. I don't know if it's SIM locked though, although I don't it is
I'd get your friend to get it from Carphone Warehouse as they only supply unbranded handsets so you'd have no issues
So you think these apps and splash screens are not deletable?
She is getting me from O2 because she can get it for 100 pounds with her subscription.
If she has to get from Carphone then I would buy it here because the price will probably be the same, around 450 pounds.
You can get it on upgrade on any network from Carphone Warehouse - I got mine on Vodafone for free (albeit a new contract)
I think you didn't understand.
Because my friend already has a subscription on O2 she can get the phone for 100 pounds.
If she were to buy from Carphone that phone would cost 450 pounds and that is a huge difference for me.
It's the difference between buying it and not even thinking about it.
If she couldn't get it for 100 Pounds I wouldn't even consider an HTC Sensation.
If she is looking at an upgrade (as in at the end of the existing contract) she can get it from any shop, and going to Carphone Warehouse would mean she gets the unbranded handset. She doesn't have to get it from O2 directly.
If she is getting an early upgrade then yes it'd probably have to be direct from O2
I guess it's an early upgrade because she haven't been in UK for long.
She got some special offer in an e-mail from O2.
I've got an o2 Sensation. The only branding I noticed is an o2 wallpaper that is easily changed. Seems to be practically unbranded otherwise.
The only advice I would offer is be careful in case you need to return it, I had to send my first two back for having dust under the screen. The third one seems to be developing it again
Dust under the screen?
That sounds bad.
Having to send it all the way back to UK and risk the package getting "lost" would be terrible
I'm glad that the branding is easy to delete, though.
I still have to think about getting it.
Any other problem that we should check in case I decide to get it?
