Hi
I can get hold of the backpacks direct from a source @ o2, £89 each. im happy to get hold of some and pass them on (just postage on top of the original price) cos i know how hard it is to get hold of them.
Im thinking of just posting them on ebay, but if any1 on here wants one, you get first dibbs. PM me or reply if ur interested.

I already have one, but just want to say thanks "smiley_thing69" for offering your support here, this is really good price.
Just out of interest, how much did people pay for their backpacks?

I've paid US $ 130 (82 pounds) during one of my business trips to UAE (Dubai). That was good price to me.
here they are 140£ but then thats including our 25% sales tax
so ordering it from uk would save but some money but would make it a ***** to RMA
How much would that be in US dollars? thanx.

www.xe.com for money exchange.
Sorry
Im affraid i cant get hold of them now, I've moved to South Africa to work for a charity called Mercy Ships.
Sorry.

I've been looking around some sites, and it seems that theres a huge price range for the HTC Touch Pro. So just wondering, how much did u pay, and what site did you order at?

$900, eBay. There's already a thread about this with the exact same title in the exact same section. Why don't you search before creating a duplicate?

Lol seriously. I wouldn't it do it either. I'm just going to wait for the subsidized price by ATT, then it'll definitely be worth it.

Rofl. At least there is one sane person in this subsection (IMO)
Make that 3, aint no freakin way im paying 1g for any phone, I dont care if it wipes my butt for me and calls me daddy.
Im waiting for my 6800 to really take a dump or accidentally get coughranoverbymytruckcough and then exchange it and pay the balance or something like that. To shell out that kind of money, albeit for a gnarly phone is just way out of line.
$1078 in the US at smart-mobile-gadgets.com
£524.99 in the uk from ebay, company and ebay store called cdsolutions. cant believe i got it already! well worth it.
€71, but it comes with a 2 years' Vodafone contract.

Sure...but how much will that contact cost >.> Over a period of two years...it will be WAY more then the initial price. But I guess we'll have a plan anyways so why not be stuck in a contract. =( Guess I'll be getting this next year. I'm really young anyways rofl (only 15 haha)

Any idea if it's a must to pay VAT even though I'm going to order from Singapore?

I gave up boozin', womanizing, sniffing glue, and my Chevy Suburban to get mine. Just the $1500 a month I'm saving on Petro alone made it affordable!

Depends on the company you're ordering from, usually you don't have to pay VAT for export phones. But you'll still have to pay the 7% gst at the customs if you declare it to be more than 400 sgd.
You intending to get one from where?

Was thinking of getting one either from the UK or expansys HK. Emailed expansys HK last week and the staff said that even though its not on the website yet, its available for pre-order and stock should be in by tomorrow (18/08/2008) its going for HK$7000. Shipping will be another HK$150 to Singapore. Are you from Singapore too?
You guys are also impatient lawl. Those of you in the US, can get a AT&T Fuze soon enough for about $550/$650 w/o contract.
..delivered next day, seems a good price or a mistake as it appears to be £110 cheaper than anywhere else, or are prices on the way down.

err link? website etc
Sorry, yes, edited original post.
BUMP!!!
...and, Doh!!! I paid £480 for mine about 7 weeks ago. Sigh. I wonder if people have stopped buying them because of some of the possible issues!
just found it on hotdeals! posted by..... you nice
why soo cold tho??? full of knobs!
You got to love and hate hotdeals.
It is without doubt a bargain, if you want one and can afford it, I believe that people on that site just vote cold on anything they dont want or cant afford or dont understand, shame really.

Thanks for that - i've been waiting for play.com to have a 10% discount which would have only bought the price down to £432(approx).
This is a great price - i only hope they don't say its a mistake as it looks like one (its cheaper than the Diamond which is £363.39).
It Should arrive on Thursday - just ordered it now.

I've decided to give a WM phone a go again and ordered myself.
To start with I'll just use it with a data sim, to see what its like, as you can't knock a blackberry for staying in touch with IM etc, but Im just so bored of the crap browser experience and lack of software like Live Mesh, which I use one hell of a lot to keep things synced.
I'll use both for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Looks like they have discovered it - gone back up to £466.89 without postage.
Good thing i bought mine
LOL! I don't feel so sick now ; )
spark9990, when your new pro arrives, please could you take a look at what version ROM it ships with now? (start/settings, system tab, device information - though I'm sure you'll know that already). Congratulations on getting such a great price!!!

Yes and mines on tracking so give them credit for keeping the price for those that bought.
I've used them many times actually and they always have been good.

They've cancelled my order - twats. Can they do that?
Mine as well, mine was at the delivery depot.
Not even a offer of a good will gesture, I'm going to check out if they can do that, especially I can prove it was out for delivery.

Let me know what you find - I'm trying to find out if they can do that as well.
Had they sent emails to you both confirming dispatch? If so then then I guess they had entered into a contract with you... talk to Trading Standards for a firm answer....

I don't have proof of that - but i do have a receipt, and they did take money out of my account.
Then without my permission carried out a refund transaction. I trying to find out how to contact trading standards but in the mean time i am going to try to reason with sellers.
In a retail store, if a product is tagged as a cheaper price by mistake, then the retailer has to give it at that price.
If Handtec had debited your back account/credit card account, then they had entered into a contract with you to supply that item at that price. Speak to both Trading Standards and Handtec about it and make sure you can demonstrate that they had taken your dosh. All you did is select a product on Handtec's website in good faith and, for their part, it would appear that they too entered into that contract to suppply it, so I suggest they honour it!
EDIT: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, and they should have an entry in your local phone book. Kent is 0845 7585497 (just in case - good luck!)

Thats not true. Most big stores (such as Tesco) will sell you at the quoted price for the good will. By Law they infact have something like 24 hours to correct the price once notified by a customer, during which time they can sell at a different price than is quoted.
That is really bad!
I thought maybe it had something to do with stock levels, but if it got to the depot, you think they would have realised!
Hope you get a response from them or Trading Standards

Since I've been rooting and using custom ROMS, this is the 3rd great dev I've seen that has needed a new device to continue his/her fine work. x0xhellx0x with the LG G2x, dropped his phone and we the community rallied and bought him another phone to continue developing his HellFire series. Civato's Acer A500 died on him and the community again rallied to replace his A500, to continue his development.
I'm new to the A700, love what I see in this ROM and would like to see development continue. Let's all get together and see if we can help keep Vorbeth continue developing for our device.

I posted that last month and after getting Vorbeth permission, we are finally here. Now to get to the meat of the matter. It's gonna take around $600 to get this done (A700, shipping, taxes, and paypal fees). We need to know if there is enough monetary commitment here. So let's see those first, then I'll post a donate link. I don't want to get through the hassle of returning money to someone who didn't read this. :drool
I'm in for $10 now, more to come.
[UPDATE] We have reached our goal of $300. I will be purchasing a used a700 from amazon.co.uk for $£190 and getting it shipped to Vorbeth
A701
and $10 from me.
$50 From the Antinerd, to pick up the pace a little ... not that much considering what I paid for this tablet!
Thanks bud.
Would you believe it costs the same to buy in U.S. and ship to U.K. as it is to buy in U.K.
50$ from me
Running total
So far the running total is: $120
I think an UK a700 is cheaper than a US one + taxes.
Is there a british hère to confirm ?
I'm good for $25.
$10.00 from me too!
15€ from me

It is a little cheaper to buy one off of amazon.co.UK, difference is about $4 cheaper. The goal of $600 has wiggle room to cover PayPal fees and any last minute costs.
$25 from me.
€10 (If it's still a valid currency) that equals $13.
Here in the Netherlands this tab costs around €400 -> $520 (maybe usefull for the comparison it's an awfull lot more expensive then in the us)

http://www.waeplus.co.uk/item/205051/ICONIA-Tab-A700---Tablet---silver---32-G?ref=gooshop => 300 £ with free delivery => 450$
When we get enough commitments, say $400, then we'll open donations. If you want to find the best price, start then. Could use the help. I'm just organizing because I want more developers for our tablet.
Re: The Official Vorbeth A700 Replacement Fund
What about getting a second hand A700? It is about a year old there so easy to find...
Sent from my A700 using xda premium
Is it enough to buy Vorbeth a Tablet?
Does he needs also a LAPTOP or PC for cr-development?
Personally, I want Vorbeth to have something reliable to develop for. Don't want him to get a tab that's been messed with by someone who doesn't know what they are doing.That's why I prefer to get him, but I'm just someone who wants to get a dev back developing.
Running total: approx. $210
Where are all the people who use Vorbeth's rom and kernel? Lets give him a hand!
What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

Link is in their blog post. https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer
While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!
