[Q] Any other Wind Canada users planning on importing the T-mo Sensation?

Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html
I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?

I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.

Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

goin' to florida months end and will pick one up there and ask them to unlock it seeing that i'm canadian (may work)!! then try it on wind and see how it goes...

if anyone finds a good deal that ships to Canada pls let us know too

and btw if anybody has tried any of those sites, would u pls tell how much it cost u?

I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.

Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?

So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it

i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it

If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.

I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.

Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

[Q] Sensation Cases in Canada

This a weird request/question,
Does anyone know of a store that sells the HTC Sensation 4G cases (TPU or any other kind) in Canada?
I WOULD buy from ebay, but for the US citizens out there that don't know, there's a postal strike on, and I can't find anyone who ships via FedEX or UPS...
Any stores/locations would be great,
Or if one of you wants to sell one via eBay to me, with FedEX/UPS shipping, that would be awesome too.
I'm thinking if no one has any, I'll wait a few weeks until Bell starts selling, and just go into a Bell store and try there.

im in the same boat, canada post really ****ed me over on this one, and the TMO store i bought mine at didnt have any accessories available at the time...
hopefully some cell fone kiosks in malls will have some, just gotta look :/

I will post pics tomorrow night when I have access to a camera. Don't got 1 at the moment.
No product link, I bought it at one of the many phone stores at Pmall. It's the one in the "middle" aisles that is closer to Steeles.
It's near SIG Electronics, and it sells Mobilicity plans. It usually has a table outside their store selling some random long distance plans.

Well the back to work bill finally got pushed through so Canada Post should be back soon, then ebay choices should be available again.
also have a look here, a lot of info including official products.

$100 to anyone who will ship me an otterbox def to canada

Im offering $100 (including cost of the case) to anyone in the US that will ship me an otterbox defender case to canada.
I phoned otterbox today twice to see why some of the US had them and they couldnt figure it out. Its not even in their system yet.

thats lame they don't have them... i was just looking at one a few minutes ago at the at&t store I work at.

looks like at&t has them at stores, do you want me to ship you one? just pay the cost, no need for any premium.

I will do it to if ya need me to

I live very close to the border to Canada in my state [cheaper shipping?] If you would like me to do it. [Whitefish, Montana 59937 --- If you want to calculate cost]

It seems all right.

I'll PayPal someone if they can send me a Ballistic or Otterbox Commuter...Don't think I can afford $100...How about a group shipment to the folks in Toronto?

I wouldn't accept the 100$ Grant anyways lol. 10$ would be nice [for the gas/time required to do it] but if you feel like paying the full 100 or whatnot, Throw it to one of the Dev's working on the AT&T Bootloader unlock, Or donate to the site ^,^

UPS is dumb I want to find out how much it will cost between direct and regular service. Its just giving me next day service which im not going to pay $91 to get it shipped..rofl!
If it could be shipped tomorrow id like to have it by next tuesday or so. My postal code is T5M-0K9
Donating to the devs is a good idea. Will donate the leftovers (after shipping and case)

I've pulled Fedex at 17.58 USD for ~5 Day Ground Service.
I don't have all the info's for what it asked to give a more estimated price [customer pickup?] Because I'm unfamiliar with shipping to Canada, But that's what I've found.

Its gotta be UPS or USPS. FedEx is 1 hour away from me

Ill do it.
I am going to the att store tomorrow to exchange my hox.
So if your interested i can send it over. UPS

you could try http://www.blueshop.ca/htc-one-x-cases.htm
even if they dont have it, you could talk to them, they might be able to get it for you.

Dude there on amazon.com for cheaper then what att wants.

[Q] HTC One X+ (AT&T version)

I found a HTC One X+ (AT&T version) on ebay. The matter is the price. The auction started in 370 USD. I think that is too cheap. The description says this
I am selling the latest HTC ONE X+ 64GB which is locked to ATT network. This is an upgrade in almost every department of the already fantastic and popular One X. Buyer assume full responsibility if purchasing to unlock and use on any network other than ATT. This phone is only two and a half weeks old and used for only about a week. It was in the Speck grip case from the time of purchase and is included in this auction. As you can see in the pictures the original charger and sync cable are still in wrappers. Included in this auction are the original box and manuals, phone, battery, AC wall charger and Sync cable, Sim eject pin, and brand new SPECK candyshell grip case. US bidders only and will ship to continental US only. I accept Paypal only as payment.

So I don't know if is this a scam, or there is a problem with this particular version, or it is impossible to unlock I don't know. What do you think guys about this version?

Well how many days are left on it? Nowadays people usually wait to bid last second on eBay and even if it was a scam and you paid your money eBay and PayPal will always side with the buyer usually

Are there any comments about this version?

You could try posting in the One X+ forum and checking with people who already own the device?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

Auctions often start at a low price to attract attention. As mentioned, most the bidding happens on the last day of the auction, even the last hours/minutes. Bidding a high price early just pushes the auction price unnecessarily high.
Bidders determine the ultimate price of the item. So you can't tell if an eBay auction is a scam, solely by price. Look at the sellers rating.

I found the auction:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-One-X-6...1039819421?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2e89129d
There are four days left to go. Rest assured the price will go up substantially based on what others are selling for.
The seller has two feedbacks, both from selling phones, apparently both today. I would be a bit wary of this--who knows where he got these?

Thanks for your comments. I sent a mail to the seller asking this:
Hi
1.- Which is the firmware version?
2.- Did you try to unlock it before?
3.- Why are you selling this htc?
Cheers

He answered this:
I do not have the firmware version readily available. The phone is already boxed and ready for shipping because someone already had won it in a previous auction. However he was from Russia and I do not ship internationally and so this is a relisted auction. I can unbox it tomorrow and power it on and give you the firmware number. I have never attempted to unlock the phone but I have read that it is definitely possible but I am unsure of what networks it would work on. That is up to the buyer however it is my understanding that it should work on any GSM network worldwide as long as the bands are supported. I am selling the phone because I am somewhat of a phone junkie and have many different phones. I am currently using a Lumia 920 and at the moment prefer the WP8 platform. I also have the LG Optimus G and a Samsung S3!!! I will probably be selling those off too in the near future. If you look at my history I have sold already a One X, Focus 2, Atrix 2, and Galaxy S3

Price should convert straight into pounds unless your bank adds a fee. But you will have to pay quite a bit for privately shipping the device and you may also have to pay customs which could set you back a fair bit.

I paid £288 and then my bank charged about £8-9 conversion fee i chose for my bank to convert the currency instead of paypal don't know if it works out cheaper but my guess is it is cheaper.

Paypal for my orders abroad have always done the conversion for free. But when paying £288 already, an extra 10 quid or so isnt a big deal I guess.
