Same here.... I've been looking all over the Internet for a full housing replacement for my XDA2...
Please, if you know of a place, let us know!!!
Thanks!

doesn't the service center in your area carry these?
I can ask our service center (in the Philippines) within a week or two if they carry these inventory...but I am not sure if they would sell it to me as is because they normally would sell it but they would be the one to install it too.
Then if they do sell it, I can FedEx them to you...should you choose to buy it....
Update you sometime next week.

Wow wildthing, that will be awsome!
The problem is that there is no Service Center in my area (I live in the Mexico/USA border area) so, that will be totally cool if you can find that out for us!
Please keep us posted!
Rayan

The service center in the Philippines is Brightpoint Philippines (you can search their number through the internet).
The details of their quote (via phone):
XDA1 Antenna plastic cap (note I didn't saw the actual yet) - Philippine Peso 400. But there is a catch, they can't sell it as parts (because I am an end-user), so they also have to charge me the "installation fee" even if I (or you) would be the one installing it. The installation fee is PhP 880 (more expensive the actual part). So the total cost is around PhP 1,280.
Right now, 1 US$ = PhP57 roughly
XDA2 Front cover -PhP 1,420, Back cover (black Plastic - not the battery cover) PhP 610. Installation cost is P550. Total cost is around PhP 2,580.
I don't know the cost of shipping yet.
For your comment.

Wow could that be possible???? :shock:
That's about 50 US Dollars!!!!
Too bad the don't sell the parts... I'll feel reluctant to send my unit...
I'll see if I can find their contact info.
Thanks a million...

actually they would sell the parts (only that you also pay the installation fee).
here is their website
http://www.brightpoint.com/Brightpoint/Philippines/124/English/73/Products/7069.html
Btw those are verbal quotes via phone...who knows my charm can persuade them just to sell the parts without the installation fee. I'll try to visit the shop this weekend if not next week....I am also planning to replace my XDA2 covers (but I want to paint it black) so the finish product will be all black....

Hi Wildthing!
That will be great if you can persuade them to sell the housings without paying for installation!
I can send the old housing if they need me to.
Please keep us posted!
Best regards,
Rayan

what they need is the seria number of the phone...they don't sell unless they register the serial number of the phone....no problem with the xda2 (like yours) because I can use mine instead....but for the xda1, I will need it.
update you soon

Ok!
Keep us posted! :wink:
And thanks again!

Hey I also need parts too!!!
HELLO wildthing, Add me to your list of 'spare parts' buddies...I also need parts for mt PDA2K, my phone fell and have very ugly dents but whats worst is the sliding keyboard is broken....SO I NEED YOUR HELP! I guess the more work you bring for then the better the price...I am willing to pay you for your time, as I'm sure you have to go out of your way to get parts

sorry i guys, I haven't been able to visit the parts shop yet....got too busy with work lately....but I'll be going down to the city around nextweek and check what could be done to your needed parts.
BTW what model is your unit youmeus? The ones I have checked earlier is the O2 XDA2 (their first model XDA2).

specifically its the HIMALAYA...is your unit the BLUEANGEL?

yep
Yes I have a blueangel...i-mate PDA2K to be exact, would they have parts for that model?

[Q] No Nexus S for me

[Mods - i hope this is the right forum to post this..sorry if it isn't]
That's it folks ... I guess there is no gingerbread+nexus S love coming my way :'(
I've been dying to get this phone since the day it released... ESPECIALLY because it's such great value for money ..
BUT - I'm in Dubai ...and it wud cost me a total of about $700+ to get this mean boy shipped safely to me
[$530+$5 case + $45 sales tax + ~$120 shipping]
Does ANYBODY know a better way to get it here?
I don't want to buy it off ebay or somewhere else, because I want someone i trust to 'test' the device for problems (and exchange it if needed) before shipping it here...
Help anyone?
[and please don't beat me up for asking!]

They are cheaper here in canada

They'll be in Italy soon, closer than America, plus the Italian version will have 720p and a Super LCD.

Interesting ....
I have an iPhone 3g now ..and it's nearly dead [literally]
i see it choke every few minutes ... so I'm slowly preparing to put it back in its original packaging and bury it somewhere..
I can keep waiting till a European one comes about .. but from the articles I've read, i think the reduced shipping cost wud be offset by a higher up-front (529 Euros) price
Till then i'll keep praying my iPhone survives...
@the_ahmadzais: I was under the impression that it hasn't been released anywhere BUT US and UK till now? I couldn't find any google hits that talked of a Canada release, but i probably am wrong..
still ..is there a subtantial diff in prices?
it's mainly the shipping cost that is killing me ... 120$ !! [that + taxes count for 25% of the total bill to get it here!
*ouch* ]

It's been my observation that it's common practice for sellers to overcharge for shipping. Basic one-week shipping to Dubai from the United States via USPS is about half that. Of course, if you want to use a specific carrier (UPS, FedEx, et cetera) or add extra services, it costs more. But honestly, most of that stuff is just a way for the parcel service to squeeze more money out of you. I've been selling and buying online for years, and I've yet to have a package lost or grossly mishandled. If anything's been broken in transit, it was because the seller did a crappy job packaging it. Also, state sales taxes vary. Here in Oregon, there is no sales tax. So the break even point for buying and shipping a Nexus S for me would be roughly $590. Even in states with the highest sales taxes, that only goes up by about $50. So if you're buying from the U.S.- unless you're insisting either on super express shipping (less than a week) or some form of package insurance which would add to the cost- I would consider anything above $650 at most to be pure seller profit.

This non-availability is an android bug imho

This wouldn't be no problem if the gingerbread reference phone was available as developer phone. Obviously google refuses to notice that there are android developers outside the USA.
This issue already has been reported as a bug. Star it. ;-)

Ya basically the ups shipping is expensive and the phone is 500 at some local stores Asian dealers. Its coming to all Canadian providers on March.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Abilash, I understand the feeling ... frustration. I was in the same boat as you ... think you even commented about it.
I got a friend to buy it (am in Kuwait). Initially I thought I'd make the payment through paypal and get it shipped to him. On trying to complete the process, paypal through up a message saying that my paypal location does not allow shipping to the desired location (US - CA) and therefore payment cannot be completed :-s whatever that meant.
Anyway, my friend ran a quick check ... nothing detailed (checked for bad screen issues, loose volume controls and back button problem), but it back in the box and shipped it to an Aramex mailbox address in New York. Cost him $16.90 including insurance.
The item has yet to reach the address, but one its there, I understand Aramex will automatically ship it to the Kuwait address of the holder of that box. Again, I understand that the shipment cost to Kuwait should be about KD.5 or 6 (about $18/-) plus a possible customs tax of KD.3 or 4 (about $13/-).
You could either find some friend that has this box already or may prefer to apply for a box if you intend to do a lot of purchase from the US.

Where has this been confirmed? If a new version comes out with 720p I'm gonna be an unhappy customer.

Super Clear LCD has been confirmed, but 720p was just a mistake: some idiot thought that 720x480 is 720p, and if only one person says it, it goes around the internet in no time.
There is a possibility that 720p video recording will come to the Nexus S in the future. Some say it can be done with an update...

Finally getting somewhere with the shipping issue
Really nice to see people offering their two cents..
thank you!
@zorak - the massive addition causing the price to jump beyond the $650 mark is only the shipping cost @120 ... I am using fedex's/ups' online estimate tools to approximate shipping cost... I understand that the estimates wud be off by a bit vs. the actual cost... but I doubt it would be a a $50 drop ...probably a $10 drop ..
i will ask my friend to check if they have other/slower delivery options costing lesser though (the online estimate only shows 'speedy' trnfrs...
@Paparasee: opening that aramex box idea was something i DID NOT know of!
even after adding the initial setup fee of $35 to the $16.90 (shipping to new york) and $31 (shipping to Kuwait) ..the total cost STILL works out to be cheaper than the 120 that fedex and UPS are asking for
how has your experience been so far with the Aramex box? i.e. my packages/the phone wouldn't be lost in transit yea?
on another note-- my brother and I have been putting off amazon purchases SOLELY because of shipping costs .. I didn't know such a thing existed !

i'll not choose a SLCD it's not comparable to SAMOLED
i've played with the SLCD from the next HTC phones, and they are not lively, it lacks the vivid display of the SAMOLED
so if the buyer wants a SAMOLED display, it'll need to purchase the America version, UK version is also SAMOLED
if they don't mind the low quality of the SLCD then they can buy the Euro version with SLCD

The only reason to use UPS or FedEx is if the postal service in either the sending or receiving country is corrupt or dysfunctional. Shipping via the postal service will get your package to its destination in only a few more days and for literally half or less the cost. UPS and FedEx are ripoffs.

Experience ... well, can't tell you yet cause the package will probably reach my friends box today or tomorrow (saved $35 since my friend has one already ). But, my friend has been using his box for ages ... no problems, no lost stuff. As soon as the "stuff" hits your box, you'll get an email notifying you of movement in your box. From then on, you have a tracking number to follow up on.
Forgot to add ... it was distortedloop that advised me to "buy the extra insurance coverage" when opting to use the US postal service for shipping to NY. ... thanks again distortedloop

I thought the Nexus S hardware had a bottleneck in the memory bus that prevented full frame rate 720p recording; at least that was the chatter last month around here.

@Paparasee -- any info on your fone yet?

@abhilashraj ... YEAH!!! I finally got it. My friend dozed of and forgot about the package. He finally brought it to me by about 8.30 or 9pm.
About your queries ...
a) Aramex did not add a separate box nor add anything to the box packed by friend. They just sealed it with their tape.
b) The phone was in its box and that was put into a little bigger box by the Best Buy guys when they shipped it ... I presume that all that ordered it online got it that way cause I saw a video of an unboxing of the NS and that had a similar external box.
c) Not sure about the others, but my friend said that he did put a couple of bubble packs into the box so that there would be no play area for the NS box. This did not add any weight.
d) My friend paid USD.16.90 to ship it from CA to NY (where all Aramex boxes are.
e) Aramex picks up and ships to the final destination only twice a week and hence the delay to get here.
f) Not sure who decided on the weight (whether it was re-weighed or not), but BestBuy had indicated a weight of 1.2lbs when they shipped it to my friend. He probably used the same figure when he shipped it to NY.
g) Aramex used the same figure when they shipped it to Kuwait.
h) Per the Aramex calculator, I was to be charged KD.5.80 for the 1.2Lbs. They charged me 6.800. According to the guy that delivered, if the weight was 1.1Lbs, the charge would only have been KD.4.25/-. That again is their calculator rate plus 1/-.
Yes, its a big relief to have it delivered at that rate ... pretty cheap I would say. The biggest relief though is that I got it
Now for figuring out what is what on my 1st android. Will get used to it and play around in the market with free stuff before I start rooting and the like.
In the meantime, I would require a good office editor and will open a separate thread requesting user opinions!
Cheers & Good luck with your phone.

Read the entire thread
When the Nexus S was first being reviewed, some places said it had 720p as well. It's reviewers not knowing what they are talking about. The version going to Italy has the same camera.

What about Aramex?
ps : arabic letters not yet connected in 2.3

[Q] I fell in love with this device. What now?

Hey guys, i fell in love with this device, my problem is now it seems so rediciously overpriced in my country(Denmark) I heard that it's around 400$ in US but in denmark, it's around 720$, which is just so much.
Compared to other tablets like Galaxy,xoom,acer, and so on' it's just so rediciously expensive.
Also, the other thing which annoys me is when people sell it used in Denmark, they only cut like 10% off the price, which imo should be at least 40%.
No wonder why noone sells it. (check dba.dk if instrested)
So, guys, is it really true that it's so expensive, and worth the money?
Also, if anyone danish guys got it, and want to sell it, contact me! (max 2750DKK)
tl;dr
Want to buy
Too expensive
Brag about people sell it for too much
Where to buy
THANKS!

I would still buy it because of the dock. For that kind of price point I wou,d probably try for a prime instead.
Sans the dock, I'd probably have gotten the GT in your boat.

The prime is like 1070$...

Dang, is it not a viable option to get it shipped from elsewhere? I don't know if it's been stated to not be allowed already, but if you could get it shipped from the US for less than $320 (or $320- how much you value the time it takes), you'd be getting it for less?

Well, if you want to ship it from the US, it's a bit complicated inside of EU (well at least Czech Republic ), because if you order something from abroad, you have to pay some fees and taxes for importing it. So in order to pick up the package from the post office you first have to pay all the fees and taxes.
Not to mention that you'd probably have to get a different charger or at least the plug. But most of all, you'd get no support/warranty if something goes wrong unless you ship it back to the US. And btw, shipping is not the cheapest as well.
But still $720 is terrible, I got mine (with the dock) a few weeks ago for ~ $575 (about 11000 CZK). Price without the dock is something like $465. But it's still cheaper than the Galaxy Tab. My father in law bought one a few weeks ago - 64GB, 3G with bluetooth keyboard - for something like $1100
On the other hand, prices in US vs. EU are not really comparable. I always rage and envy, when I see them... The US prices (for almost anything) always seem 25-50% less than what I get from local stores.
I heard a rumor once that US producers set EU prices like 1 USD = 1 EUR...

Ordered some books in the US some years ago. The fee was not as big if I remember correctly. Don't know if it's the same with tech.
Regarding æøå. Couldn't you just flash a danish rom?
Sendt fra min GT-I9100 med Tapatalk

I'm not familiar with Danish customs but I know from USA->Canada travel and the inverse that past what ever $ amount is set, you have to pay a precentage. So e.g. I went through to Canada with an engagement ring and gave the cashier my receipt, then had to pay the duties to take it through. That and remembering my fiancee is extra awesome for not wanting a ring that costs more than my car....lol
I would assume that most countries are the same in concept.

Yeah, it's not worth buying from usa.
What i could do tho, is get someone to buy it in usa, and then send it to me personally... i just don't know anyone in usa.

How about a private sale like Craigslist/Ebay/Amazon or something

I have a question for you guys. Can the OP buy stuff from amazon? I have a seller account on there. If I want to help out the OP and make it safe for both of us, could he buy from me on amazon and then I buy it from over here and send it to him?

Thought you were talking about the soft keys.
But I really think you should wait for the prime. According to Anand it should be so much better than its predecessor.

American adaptor suitable for Australia?

Hi All,
I'm considering purchasing the tf700 from America and importing to Australia (as they are going to flog it off here for $999AUD!
The only thing I need to confirm before purchasing is if the adaptor will be suitable for Australia (don't want a surge).
Does the info on the (American) power pack indicate it handles 110-240v ?
Thanks for any help you can give,

I'm considering purchasing the tf700 from America and importing to Australia (as they are going to flog it off here for $999AUD!
The only thing I need to confirm before purchasing is if the adaptor will be suitable for Australia (don't want a surge).
Does the info on the (American) power pack indicate it handles 110-240v ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Mike

Thanks Mate.

Yes, hopefully doing the same. Probably gonna need a an adapter as well. How you gonna get yours over here?

I'm pretty sure I read that all Aussie tabs will come with the Key Board dock also, still priced high but thats something to consider plus 32/64 at that price?

Ordered mine through ebay last night. It is winging it's way here via DHL as we speak. Paid 838 AUD (including express shipping) for 64GB with dock (a. grey colour). Expect it to arrive here on Monday next. When you add the $10 for an adaptor that still comes in $140 cheaper and at least a week earlier than the Oz release.

Would I be able to get a 32GB no dock from the same supplier?

check out ebay mate. Theres a few offering 32GB no dock for well under 500. Express shipping (cause who wants to wait weeks once you have committed the money) costs about 60. the ususal precautions re: checking out sellers reputation apply, obviously.

Thanks, I pm'ed one to you to see if it was the same supplier just so this thread isn't staying alive with just us.
Although the sentbox seems empty so forgive me if its doesn't work or you just get a gazillion messages
