UK Availability ... from the US
It seems that On The Go Solutions are happy to ship to the UK, and they just told me they have a large batch of Cruises that are expected to clear customs tomorrow. I've ordered one - and with Fedex International Express delivery it should, if all goes well, be with me some time next week.
I'll be letting you know whether all goes well.
Jim
how much of a pain is it to fill out the international order form?
how did you send them the pdf ?
Filling in the International Order Form was not especially tedious:
1) Download as PDF.
2) Open the file, Edit->SelectAll, Edit->Copy
3) Open MS Word, Edit->Paste, then tidy up the formatting a bit
4) Paste in images of the various things they wanted images of (passport back page, credit card, signature)
5) Email the document back to them. Had to mess with the image sizes a bit, as their email gateway rejects anything bigger than 3 Mbytes.
All in all, it's probably easier to print the document, fill it in and fax it back to them - but as it happened I did not have a photocopier and a fax conveniently nearby yesterday evening.
I will let you know what happens next (and here's hoping that what happens next is the prompt arrival of a shiny new Cruise!)
Jim
thanks for the prompt response!
On The Go Solutions have just dispatched 'my' Cruise via Fedex to the UK.
Usual next step should be that I get a call from the local FedEx office at UK customs, asking for a duty/VAT payment (which can be paid by credit/debit card over the phone).
I've never really understood how they figure out the duty - it seems to depend on whether they decide the goods are stationery, electric equipment, computers, agricultural machinery, ... . Personally I think the Cruise is lovely enough to qualify as a 'work of art', but I don't suppose the Customs people will agree. Anyhow, I expect to end up having to pay about 20% (17.5% VAT and 2.5% duty).
Jim
Delivered (from On The Go) today
It has arrived - so I can confirm that getting On The Go to ship to the UK seems to work just fine.
Jim
Nice. So all n all how much was it? did you get a call from customs or..?
cheers.
i see onthego have bumped the price up now
At $879 i dont think its worth it
I think that the price was $749 or $769 just a few days ago.
Hi everyone and happy new year!
I think we just have to be patient. As everybody on this forum, I cannot wait to get this baby, but I will hold fire for another 3-4 weeks.
I contacted O2 and Orange regarding availability. Orange are looking early Feb, but will have more info next week. O2 will have stock middle of Jan, so if you're not desperate, the future is orange... or blue... or even purple?
Cheers
The networks are, probably, delaying its release which is annoying for me.
Wow I cant believe that onthegosolutions would do that but it is true. Talk about price gauging. There is no way people are going to pay nearly $900 dollars when you can just wait two or three weeks and get it for under $700.
Happy to say, I placed my order when On The Go were still showing $749 on their web-site, and they have honored that price. $879 does look pretty steep! Oh the joys of capitalism !
Anyhow, the whole process of getting the thing into the UK went pretty smoothly (note: it's a good idea to phone FedEx once they've collected the package, and make sure they have a contact phone number. If they don't have a number to call you on, then the package will just sit waiting in customs until you call them).
The Cruise they sent me has a silver fascia/button panel. It looks pretty smart.
I have just been trying out HSDPA connectivity, and got 382 kbit/sec (on T-Mobile, in central London). The combination of Google Maps and in-built GPS is also good (particularly if your sense of direction is as poor as mine!).
Jim
Has anyone spoken to T-Mobile? I know they re-branded the HTC 3300 so maybe the Polaris is one they'll pick up too. I just also looked at their UK web site and under the "Coming Soon" section it mentions: "T-Mobile Touch Plus - This great touch-screen phone allows for intuitive browsing through messages, emails and music. - Expected January - on: Pay monthly". No picture so difficult to tell if it is the Touch Cruise although it sounds like it could well be.
I also noticed a few sites (e.g. expansys) now quoting Jan 18 as the availability date for the generic HTC unit so I'm hoping that I'll be able to have one in my hands within 3 weeks although if T-Mobile are also releasing it in January then I might do some arithmetic and see if I want to upgrade to a monthly contract and get the phone that way.
T-Mobile did cripple the 3300 didn't they by disabling WiFi on the UK model? Let's hope they're not stupid enough to do that again if they are picking up the Polaris.

T-Mobile Touch Plus
I spoke a little while ago to a guy in the T-Mobile shop in Oxford Street (London), who generally knows what's what with the T-Mobile range. He told me that the T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus is the HTC Touch Dual. He wasn't aware of any near-term plan to provide the Cruise as a T-Mobile branded handset.
So at that point I opted to take the cash alternative rather than a 'free' handset - and spent the cash on buying the phone of my dreams .
Jim
Touch Cruise availabe next week.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3771.html
I have Firefox tabs permanently open on most of the UK supplier's Touch Cruise (TC) pages and I refresh them occassionally. I just saw that Expansys and PowerUpMobile changed their stock-due dates from 18th Jan to 21st Jan.
It's also interesting because, for anyone who doesn't know, there's another thread running here (entitled "Angry against HTC") that is reporting a delay until week 9 on HTC TC shipments. I assume that Expansys and PowerUpMobile changed their stock-due dates because of updated info from HTC (why else would they change the dates?) so it's interesting that they only did a 3 day slip and not all the way back to week 9.
I'm not sure what all this means but I just thought I'd report it.

I go to that flexion link/site to download ea games for my xperia play. They download fine, they install fine, they let me play the trial period fine. But then when I go to purchase a game (I've tried this with battlefield and nba jam) I select credit card, I automatically get a small error window that pops up.
Is this because I'm on the lovely verizon version of play?
Do I have to wait for NBA Jam to be on their sh*tty v z app store? (If it ever makes it there)
If I root my phone would this allow me to make this purchases? Or is it because the flexion store is from the UK and they wont allow the conversion rate for my dirty American dollars? (Cant say I blame them)
Just need some help, I'm new here and a new owner of the phone, I've had it roughly 3 weeks now, so I apologize if this is one of those eye rolling noob questions, but I gotta ask in order to learn!
Thanks guys
141 views and no one can help? =(
Hows this for an easier question, has anyone from the U.S been able to purchase anything from the flexion/v.i.p site with a credit card? Im just wondering if there's an issue with my phone or if it's a verizon restriction or ea restriction, etc
Sorry man never bought from them. For a while they gave away FIFA, the Two NFS games, Battlefield 2, and Dead Space for free. I wouldn't buy from the flexion site because my cc company would nail me for foreign transaction fees. Also I would NEVER buy from the Vcast store, I did once, all the games verify themselves over the internet when you play, means no data connection, no game. I called up and complained and they refunded me.
Nuts, I really want this game
v z apps is a rip-off, not only do you need a data connection, the prices are always higher than android market or the publishers site. I REALLY wish I had read up on how censored this verizon version is before I bit the bullet.
I need to find a good stable hacked os, rooted os, whatever they call it and see if that gives me more freedom. Im really disappointed with this phone, soley because of verizon.

hi guys
i am planning to buy a new phone soon, probably a China one. i have already checked many china shops but most of them do not look like a safe place for spending a couple hundred euros, and paying with paypal is in many of them impossible.
so would you be so kind and share your expirence with chinapadmall, because i was unable to find any useful information on the internet. at a glance they look different from most of china shops and paying with paypal is also possible.
just another question: probably i am going to buy either a iocean/OU Sheng X7 or a UMI X2. which one do you think is better in term of build quality?
thank you for help
I personally would keep away from Chinese phones, generally because they tend to not have any support afterwards. I looked through this site and however designed/presented nicely, the reviews are mostly of customers asking questions about the product. They seem to respond back though so that may be a good sign (even though they're using the reviews section as a forum, which is deceiving). Sorry for not exactly answering your question, but that's just my 2cents.
Do you mean "China" or "china"?
Either way, I wouldn't want to touch any China-made products left alone spending "a couple hundred euros" for it.
first of all thanks for your reply.
i meant China of course.
you are probably right about support ,sadly not so many own those phones. actually i am buying that kind of phone, because in last half year i lost two phones (they were both stolen by somebody). now i do not want to spend much money on a new phone.
including taxes and DHL shippinig i can get a full hd phone for approximately 220€ (about 290$), and that is why i am interested in buying China phone.
i will have to think a bit and search the internet, whether it is worth buying cheap phone and hooping for best, or spend at least twice as much money for Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, or other flagship devices.
I've bought my goophone n2 here in chinapadmalL and pay with paypal.It's safe.
And I'm also interested in iocean X7 and a UMI X2,but the pre-order does not begin,do you know the exact date? cause I don 't want to wait a long time .
I use dx.com for my China gadget shopping. They are trustworthy and have a decent support staff as well as forums. They accept paypal. The only downside is sometimes the shipping can be slow but anything shipping from Hong Kong is generally slow. They have name brand Android phones as well.
i am also interested in buying umi x2, iocean x7, or t he jiayu g4 advenced, but the problem is also the availability, and the release dates are not actually unknown.
and about the dx.com i must agree they are trustworthy, buty normally it takes long to receive your staff, but the problem is they do not have so many phones like other sites.
I would not buy AT CHINAPADMALL
Well I tell you my experience with this damn devil store "chinapadmall.com" because bine on April 9, 2013, announced in stock the following: "Good Quality Butterfly x920e OEM Smart Phone 5.0 Inch IPS 1920 * Quad 1080 2GB RAM Android 4.1-core 1.5GHz 16GB ". I buy paypal payment 250'87 total EUR total no joke. I get the phone about ten or twelve days later does not do what is advertised is 1920 * 1080 1270 * 920 is less, plus wifi does not work and tells me what I have to do is install the rom again, as I to have to do that to a newly purchased mobile trying it yourself. Well I tell you what I say I want to return smoothly to send it to an address and how do I have to send also want a 32 gb sd Tarje tells me to pay it and send it to me. I tell you all that I leave as requested on the page and tell me you do not need it with the email is enough. I send the phone on May 10, 2013, will arrive on May 24 and did not pick right now is in the post office waiting sheizen by will. I tell the seller and he says he does not know that you sent me x2 umi on Friday May 31 but do not know the tracking number and does not know because he has not Picked to send you the package.

I bought an Umi x2 from them 5 days ago. My order is still 'in progress' and not been posted despite me paying $20 for express delivery. I'mnot happy with their service.
UMI X2 32G rom 2G ram the umi company will stop produce for 3-4 weeks.so if you bought this phone don't dream they will ship.

I think i can tell you something, I think there must something made you misunderstanding, i made two orders in chinapadmall.com, they response very fast and reply my every email and live chat, maybe the email sent to your junk box? it seem the live chat time from China time 9:00~18:00, you can try to see and try again. and even over 45 days, they accept return and refund, don't worry. one of my friend experienced it. it is better you tell him your order number first, so they can confirm soon. when refund the money, you must will get a coupon as a compensation( my friend got the coupon, hope the same as you).
and by the way, if they didn't answer you, how did you sent back the phone? where you got the return address?
hope your problem will be fix soon....

address gave me Jerry or so chatting calls himself. So far I have sent the phone or returned the money. On Friday Jerry said the chat today I would give the tracking number, but I ask you and I closed the conversation. No I think I have been scammed, and the address to which returned the phone was not the same that came in the package where they sent me the phone. ie they send from an address and returns go to another company and another direction, even in another city. All this is very rare and worst is that after almost 3 months I am still without my money and no mobile. SO I would not buy ANYTHING IN CHINAPADMALL. COM

I think I know where is the problem, the problem is not CHINAPADMALL.COM didn't answer your questions, it seem you returned the phone to the wrong address ( wrote in the package?).
if you purchased the phone via paypal in the store, it is better you follow the refund and return rules of paypal. you should dispute in paypal and ask for return and refund, paypal will show you the address that you should send to. remember never do not send to the address wrote in package. if over 45days, it is better you contact their after service for address before you sending. as I know, many package sent from China the address wrote on package are address of POST AGENT COMPANY, not the real seller, because the agent handle all for seller, seller only need prepare the package for picking up.
i suggest you keep contact CHINAPADMALL.COM , tell him the tracking info, ask him for help for find the package. if sent to the POST AGENT, they also can have it back, but will take many times, it is possible to get your money back, CHINAPADMALL.COM wont let you lost money, as I know my friend got money back and got a coupon for compensation and he made a new order with the coupon( 8USD discount for any item).
hope can help you, and be patient you will get money back soon....

:good: that's great, I told you before, they will refund your money anytime, even over 45 days after payment. chinapadmall.com are looking for long term business, not one time. reliable!!
I have no problem with china mobile. Nice power for third price of regular brands with good workshop quality. Only problem is support...
.My phone I received from om them was faulty and they have asked me to return it to them. I have done by DHL but it seems to be being held in customs in Shenzhen. Is it legal to return a phone from UK to Shenzhen? Why would customs hold it?
Perhaps it just takes some time for clearance?
Just wanted to let you guys know about my horrible experience with this company. Before the free unlock methods were available I had purchased an unlock code from them for $14.99 for my Rogers i337m. They had guaranteed it to work. Needless to say the code did not work. So they emailed back saying I would need an unfreeze code along with with the unlock code for $29.99. So I did that. The codes still did not work and I even proved it to them with a video which they requested in order for a refund. They did not update me with any information for two weeks. After countless emails, they decided that doing the free unlock method would work. By then i had already sold my I 337m and got an unlocked 9505. They refuse to give me a refund even though the code didn't work. They have horrible customer service and barely ever respond to emails. I've seen at least one other post on another forum saying the same thing.
Just letting you guys know that be wary of their services. Plus there are free ways to do the same thing now. They lost a few lifetime customers between me and my friends. I hope that was worth the $29.99 for them.
Thanks for letting us know we should all boycott jerk companies like this.
Not sure why this happenned to you, but i've unlocked every phone with them without any issue. Although there is something fishy here. Your unlock code, you claim to have cost you 14.99, mine was 24.99 for i337m. It worked the first time. Second, pay by paypal, next time a company charges you more than initially, just open a claim and you'll get you money back.
I haven't had a bad experience with them either. I've unlocked like 4-5 phones with them so far including my two GS4s. That too for $8 each only

The codes still did not work and I even proved it to them with a video which they requested in order for a refund. They did not update me with any information for two weeks. After countless emails, they decided that doing the free unlock method would work. By then i had already sold my I 337m and got an unlocked 9505. They refuse to give me a refund even though the code didn't work. They have horrible customer service and barely ever respond to emails. I've seen at least one other post on another forum saying the same thing.
Just letting you guys know that be wary of their services. Plus there are free ways to do the same thing now. They lost a few lifetime customers between me and my friends. I hope that was worth the $29.99 for them.

Something definitely isn't right here. If for some reason your phone didn't work with the code you entered, the other unfreeze code should have. It sounds like something is / was wrong with your phone. A few people that tried the "free" unlock method have screwed up their phones with the method and have been unable to use codes for sim unlock. However, you claim this was all done before the free unlock method?
Plus on the 29th of May you had this post in the "free unlock" thread...

Worked for me. Used T-Mobile sim in the states. Worked just fine. Maybe some work and some don't.

I thought you said you didn't try the method (you sold the phone first) and bought an "unlocked" I9505?
OP, can you clarify this story?

not sure what to say to you. i've unlocked about 65-70 iPhones, ~15 gs3 lte (for some reason the free unlock from service menu wasn't working, i think it's stk.apk, it appeard to be missing as they didn't open service menu), 15 gs2 lte, 20-30 BB including z10...i have yet to have a single issue with this cellunlocker.net.
and as you noticed you tried this long after the free method was posted....
and in case you are wondering those weren't my phones, i just unlocked them...
I've always used paypal too, in case.
I've never had a problem with them before either. That's what I'm saying. Lost a long time customer.
As for the free unlock method, in the other thread, that was for my girlfriends phone.
Nothing fishy here. I did use PayPal and there is a claim open.
I was stating MY experience with them. Of course others may have had codes that worked. I didnt. Which is why I sold that phone and just got an unlocked 9505.
Like I said, wanted to share my experience. I wouldn't knock a company for no reason.

Not in my case
I am a locked GS4 from fido and I paid 24.99 to get the unlock code from their website. Though the first method they suggested in the email didn't work, but the second worked perfectly. Maybe you just didn't read through their feedback e-mail and followed the entire instructions.
Awful experience with cellunlocker.net
Be carefull with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies.
I bought two codes with them, OrderID::xx4024 and OrderID::xx2763 and at the end the codes didn't work.
They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success.
Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They get me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.
Once I realized we were going to nowhere I asked them for my money back as its refund policy in their website, I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason to don't refund me.
I'm very disapointed with cellunlocker.net, they have attended a lot of people but my experience started very well but at the end it was completely awful.
I've never used unlock codes ever I only use unlock by software and USB and I've never had a problem.
I used them a couple of times and all the codes work. There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work as its pretty much impossible to send you faulty codes because of the way each code is unique to each phone. Anyway, if for some reason the codes don't work, you get back to them with your issue and if they give you a hard time, take it up with the payment processor (credit card, paypal) it will make things faster

I've used them now on three different phones, and they all worked great. The only way it might not have worked is if you chose the wrong phone type.
Unlocked my fiance Bell Note 3 with no issues with this company.
From what I understand., sometimes you need to be on the stock firmware to be able to unlock.. My rogers s4 unlocked with no issues as well

Never had a problem with that company either
I unlocked my
Note 4 , note 3, S3 all from telus and also other phones for other people from that site without any problems.
It feels good to get the UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL message on my screen after punching in the code.
Awesome stuff!
Strange you went through that.

these guys are great too : swiftunlocks dot com - (notice the pleural) - used them twice for s5. Most s4 should be out of contract by now in which At&t will give you the code. OR there's software ways of doing it for the S4.

Sorry these guys failed me hard, I never got my refund back and I am going through a paypal chargeback with them. Never ordering from swiftunlocks
Have been using cellunlocker for years. Never had a bad experience. I even got my last unlock for free if I filmed it and posted it on YouTube

By "never had a bad experience" i meant I always had great service... If i ordered in their business hours I'd get my code within 2 hours, if not in the AM the next day. Also their prices were always very fair and codes always worked. Once I made a mistake in the IMEI and they were very nice and sent me a new one.
DON'T use cellunlocker.net. It took them about 4 days to come up with a code that didn't work. After being forced to upload several videos of me trying the unlock code and proving that my phone wasn't rooted or running a custom ROM, they still refused to issue a refund claiming my phone was modified. It's been 17 days and they still can't come up with a working code. Avoid them like the plague!
Works!
Cellunlocker.net worked for me, received working code within one day for my Samsung S9. I guess company may have evolved and improved their unlock process over the years.
I needed an Android app designed and I've no idea how to do it myself. I've used websites before to get other work done, such as website help I was stuck on. I decided to give Odesk.com a try. It's a website where I post a job, people bid on the job.
What a scam / rip-off!
I have a decent idea for an app, which I don't see out there currently. There is another device that can do what my app would do, but this is a piece of hardware for $20, when I could design the app and sell it for 99 cents.
So, I posted my job and hired someone in India. He assured me he could do what I needed. We communicated on what I wanted and I accepted his bid. My app is something small and simple, so I don't think a lot of work is required, hence the low price I was hoping to get the work done for.
I was required to pay 20% in advance, which wasn't that much, so I did it.. less than $30. I figured that was a good deal. I pay a few bucks up front to show I am serious. Another website holds the money in escrow. Not this website.
About a week or a week and a half go by and I ask the guy how things are coming along. I had given my project a deadline to be finished by next month. No answer from the person, but a few days later he replies that my app is all done, here you go, job marked as finished.
First off, how the hell can someone just mark a job as completed just because some other guy says it is? What about me? I don't get a say on whether it's completed or not?
I was surprised he finished it. I was thinking it would be something I could alpha or beta test. If things went well I would provide a splash screen he could insert in the beginning. But to my surprise it booted up with a name and a logo already.
He STOLE the software from another website! Just typing the name of the app in the web pulls up their website. The app doesn't even do what I want. Sure, it has similar elements, but it doesn't do what I want. All he did was rename their APK to my name.
The seller will not respond and Odesk not will refund my money. They warn you to not make a pre payment of any amount, yet they allow people to request a pre payment and their system allows you to pay, even though no work was finished.
I have an investigation going on with Odesk. If they spend two seconds they'd see that the guy stole the software and could refund my money. That could take awhile, so I went ahead and filed a claim with my credit card company, lodged a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
Anyway, I thought I'd warn people not to use this site. I've used freelancer.com before, previously vworker.com, previously rentacoder.com with no issues, but since they switched to freelancer.com I think their rates went up is why I don't use them and am looking for another place.
If anyone knows a place to get an app designed for a fair price (not game), lemme know.
