Selling HTC TOUCH PRO - RAPHAEL

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).

[Q] Asia/Europe Version Sensation for T-zone / Web2go?

I'm wondering if anyone has used the non-tmobile version of sensation with t-mobile's T-zone / Web2go data plan. So here's the 2 questions:
1. Does the Asia/Europe version support AWS/1700MHZ 3G?
2. Does T-mobile block the Asia/Europe version's IMEI for T-zone / Web2go?
Much appreciated for your help!

1. All versions of the Sensation so far support the tmobile's AWS 3G band. Also, for those that don't know: AWS = 1700/2100. They put AWS because it's shorter than writing/explaining what it really is.

That wasn't the question though, was it?
He wants to know if T-Mobile US will allow an Asia/Europe Sensation to work with grandfathered T-Zones or web2go data plans. It has nothing to do with the bands. It has to do with T-Mobile's locking down of certain smartphones so that they can't use T-Zones or web2go regardless if they have AWS or not.

Since the phone's not out yet in the U.S., the majority of posters here are from the EU. They have no idea what T-Zones are. For my international friends, it's a legacy dumb-phone plan that allows you to use 3/4G data on an unlimited basis for half the price of the smartphone data plan. He's asking about the European IMEI because if T-Mobile U.S. has it in their database than T-Zones will be blocked.
OP, I'd ask again when more people in the U.S. actually have the phone.
P.S. - Since all the phones have AWS, I'd imagine that HTC provided T-Mobile U.S. with the full range of IEMIs. Just guessing but it makes sense.

Now does the international Sensation get slower speeds than the Sensation 4G? Or is it going to be the same?

should be the same. they're the same phone. only difference I've seen from pictures so far is the US version has 1 extra contact for the back antenna
also 2 things: why did you post this question in 4 different threads? & why do you care about the EU version if you're in the US. I'm pretty sure importing a EU version over to this side of the pond would be way more expensive than buying the US version outright.

Thank you all for your answers, but this is my first thread in XDA. Since this phone is made in China, I can import one from China for less than $600. Would be interesting to see if T-mobile blocks all the IMEIs. I got my dad a Huawei U8150, which is the same as the T-mobile Comet, but T-mobile has no idea what that phone is. So it works fine on the web2go plan. I almost pull the trigger to have my friend in China ship me a sensation, but I'll wait for a couple more weeks.

Because I can get the EU version easier than the US version and wanted to be sure before I placed an order.... that and I was a little drunk
Now last question s about the rom, will the EU be able to have the US rom flashed to it

Yeah, I wouldn't rely on that seller's opinion. It's just guess unless he's actually tried it (for a week at least). I doubt that he has.

right, I guess we need a brave tester to let us all know.

I just got the HTC Incredible S, which does work on T-Zones/Web2go.
However, if someone does get Euro HTC Sensation, let us know if it works.

i think it should work as long as its not bought from tmobile or does not have the tmobile logo on the front top right of the glass
im pretty experienced with web2go and phones
android phones from tmobile all don't work with tones or web2go
as long as its not from tmobile it will work on the phone
and 3g will for if it has AWS bands
except nexus S because samsung gave all the IDs to tmobile. even the ones that tmobile doesnt sell
i ordered a htc sensation and will get it in about 36 hours
ill let you guys know how it works out

Where did you order it from? Let us know if it is the unbranded version or the Vodafone version. Hi-mobile.net has the lowest price I've seen but I don't know if they are legitimate or not.

Not many ratings for Hi-Mobile.net. I honestly wouldn't trust them.
Integrontech.com- has reviews and seller feedback. $599.99- free shipping.

[Q] 32 GB 3G version?

Anyone have any idea if/when this will be available in the UK or Europe?
If there's good reason to think it will be out soon I will hold off purchasing the note 10.1 for now....
Thanks

Can't say about the UK but over here in Oz they're as rare as hens teeth... Only found the 32gb 3g version at JB Hifi... and now its not advertised on their site anymore..... Oh yeah, cost $850Aud too which is really up there in price....

On Thursday I finally got notification that the 32 Gb wiFi version was now available in Holland, so perhaps the 3G version will not be too far behind in Europe/the UK.
I bought a WiFi version from the US a few months ago and even with import costs of €100 it was good value - can you pick up a 3G one from another country ?

Thanks for the responses....There don't seem to me many available for shipping even internationally....there was one on Ebay US a few days ago but that would have set me back about £540 after all the import duties and shipping...
That would be £140 more than I could get it for in the UK with the £50 Samsung rebate.
I don't think I'd want to pay much more than £50 more for the extra 16gb, especially as i plan on sticking a 64gb card in there anyway...
I also have to decide between the grey and the white.....would definitely be going for grey if it weren't for the reports here of differing build quality between the two...

Mate, my 32gb 3g grey note 10.1 has no faults.... I bought a 2nd for my brother and his has no faults. I bought a 16gb 3g grey one for a friend and they have no problems with build quality.... Considering the only real difference between the grey and white notes is colour then why would build quality differ?
And trust me, I have the 32gb version with a 64gb sd card. I'm running out of space... What you have you will use or lament the fact you don't have enough. Hindsight is 20/20 and you will regret not getting the larger memory...

Thanks again for the advice
Yeah, I will definitely be getting a 64GB MicroSD card. And I agree with you ultramag69 that will likely regret it if i settle for the 16gb note. However with the current purchase options (no 32GB 3G model available directly in UK) I just don't think I could justify spending £140 on 16GB of storage.

I totally agree that this sounds ridiculous. I'm still sceptical even after reading this thread. It's not exactly a scientific sampling however it does give pause for thought regarding the models available in the UK at least.

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.

I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h

If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.

Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain

Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda

Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

Thanks guys and gals!

You might want to hold on there. From what I've read, all the Canadian devices are network locked...

Telus says theirs are carrier locked

from what I gather, your best bet for acquiring a USA GSM compatible and unlocked Moto X Play is to go with one from Brazil with model number XT1536. The question now is how to get one from that country and not pay too much extra fees for it. On a side note, I noticed all the Canadian carriers seem to carry the 16GB model only. i know memory is expandable but i'd prefer more onboard storage due to faster read/write access plus better memory chips used vs. your typical microsd card.

They're carrier locked but from what a Bell representative told me, you can pay them 50 (unlocking fee) and then you can unlock the phone yourself / other people to get it to work outside the carrier.

Hey thanks for the heads up man. i thought the brazilian one was also compatible but wanted to see if canada was easier. If it unlocked from brazil it may be a better buy.
Real problem is that conversion really sucks... $300 usd for the one from canada and $400 usd for the one from brazil

If you want- I can get you the one from Canada- I noticed you were in NYC which isn't too far from where I am- it is $449+tax CAD + $50 unlocking fee + whatever shipping would be to you.
Let me know! I had to go through so much trouble to get one even though I'm already in Canada already ahha- but no regrets at all! Awesome phone.

Hey can you guys count me in? I'm almost ready to buy one except that this phone's just way too damn hard to get. How should we go from here though? Do I PM you?

500 dollars??? better off getting the moto style

Does the Sasktel one come with the Turbo Charger? I saw an article on MobileSyrup that mentioned Koodo is one of two carriers that includes the turbo charger, but didn't see anything more.
Here in Alberta there's no sales tax, so getting it from Koodo may not be a bad idea (if they'll sell outright). I'm considering buying one, but only if I can get it outright.

Hey it looks like if you go into a koodo store you should be able to buy it sim free from them. Do they have stores in alberta? you willing to go and check it out?

Yes they do. If you can give me until tomorrow, I'll go have a look (I'm probably going to grab one if they have it in stock.
I actually have a Koodo account, so I shouldn't have a problem buying it without the 2-yr term.

Awesome dude let us know the total cost with tax after you get it. i am very interested.
Moto x play is smaller the the LG G4 in all ways except thickness....who cares with that huge battery!
BTW it is confirmed why we dont have it in the USA.... http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/25/droid-maxx-2-verizon/

I got my Moto X Play from Koodo today. While I did upgrade from my tab, I also confirmed it's $430.50 outright here in Alberta ($410 + 5% GST).

Deleted.

Motorola are extremely cheap to unlock... The last few I did were around 5 bucks

Has anyone figured out how to get the 2nd SIM slot to work on the Canadian variant?
