Can i get an XDA2 cheap from Far East (singapore) will it work in Uk on vodafone?
Anyone tried to do this?
If not what is the cheapest way to buy one for use on Vodafone?
Hi. XDA2 is a tri-band phone so it should work in UK. I live in SG and bought a new XDA2 just last weekend. If you want to know more about prices and where to buy etc let me know. Good Luck
I might be also interested in Singapore prices ....
please let me know
regards, monika
Warranty may be an issue if you buy it over here in Singapore. My XDA II warranty card specifies as warrantied only by O2 Asia. So if i were to go Australia, who also has an O2 service center, i believe i cannot do any warranty claiming on my unit unless its an international warranty.
my rough guess is ....
that vast majority of equipment these days has both local and international warranty, say IBM Netvista computers, IBM laptops ... etc etc
but I might be mistaken as in my country then sell XDA clone with no guarantee at all (sic !)

monika

Can I buy XDA Exec in the U.K. without being O2 customer? That is just pay and go without being an O2 customer or a U.K. Citizen..

Of couse you can. But won't your phone just get blocked when you have it back in Turkey.

what is the point of going to uk in order to get exec??..loads of e-stores sell them or check out ebay.co.uk
cheers, cudo
Hello,
TO: kevino
They no longer block phones in Turkey. They stopped doing so about 2 weeks ago.
TO: cudo
The point is not to pay outrageous taxes and be tourched with Turkish customs for 8 hours.
Anyway,
Where is the cheapest place to purchase it in the U.K. ?
Or cheapest online store? I don't mind buying the Qtec 9000 since it's the same thing.
I still think that the best way is to get one off ebay..and the seller may send it as a gift so there is gonna be no tax and custom. the other thing is ebay is the cheapest
Find someone in UK you trust with £300 and have them buy it for you.
Then have them ship it to you as a gift. You can then prove that you aren't to pay customs on it with one phonecall to your friend. Your friend in the UK can phone Turkish customs and tell them that it was bought off ebay by them as a gift for you, without mentioning the money that you sent them for it.
If you would like the numbers of some really nice Turkish people over here that might help you out (and actually speak your language lol) I can send you them I have a few Turkish friends that would be trustworthy with that kind of money.
Of course, this assumes that you trust me to give you other people's numbers and not be pulling a fast one on you to grab your £300 ...
It is all about trust, isn't it?
Doing it this way has to be cheaper than flying over here just for a phone.
Gift exemption only appies under a certain value. Unless you are willing to take the chance of declaring the value as about £20, you'll probably still get taxed.
BUT, if you DO take that risk and declare it as low value, they may pull it anyway and question why a device like that is only worth £20.
Your choice
hi preditor.
thank you so much for getting back to me...
i sent you a PrivateMessage let me know..
thanks.
Hi
I live in South Africa and the Hermes is being released here as the HTC Tytn, and i would love to get it.
I currently own a MDA Vario, and i love this phone, but the hermes is always going to be better and thats why i want it.
Can anybody give me prices of this product brand new or second hand
thanks
Brand new, unlocked TyTN: around 700USD ... in the US atleast ..
HTC TyTN in RSA
The phones will be sold by Leaf Wireless, but I don't know at what price. I bought mine in London a few months ago. It cost me about R6500.
Great phone but has many software problems at this stage. Once they release their first upgrade things should be ok.
Thanks, i am aware that Leaf will be distributing them, But the prices in SA will be quite alot.
I mean the K-Jam(Wizard) is currently over R7000 at most places in South Africa, and The cheapest you can get it is R6400
So i cant imagine how much the Hermes will be
Need to go check how much i can get it from t-mobile from
I have heard that Virgin Mobile overseas is releasing it under their own name, so im sure it will reach us over here

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then
I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...
I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.
>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!
Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.
Hi friends..A friend of mine is going to hong kong. Can you tell me where i can get cheap or even second hand hermes there?I want to buy one.He could buy one for me there..Thanks for your help
Can someone help me?I am willing to pay up to 3250 hong kong dollars.
Cingular sells refurbished 8525's .. 199 bucks.
Is it in hong kong? But cingular is based only in u.s.Isn't it? The friend is going only to hong kong
around $3100-3300 HKD at mongkok to have a Softbank X01HT(HERM200)
wan chai would would be a good place to go too....sham shui po would also be a nice place.. shop 188 would be another place too..
So buy one from Cingular and just Unlock it..
Will the softbank x01 ht already be unlocked or do i have to unlock it? How much to unlock? And where to unlock?
unlocking is free with programs from here..
He'd need an AT&T/Cingular account to buy an 8525 direct.

you can buy softbank x01ht at "sincere podium" in mong kok. it's a place famous for selling mobile phones at cheap prices. it's within 5 minute's walk from mong kok mtr station.
the price for an unlocked unit is about HK$3,180. If you can unlock it yourself, the price can be cheaper (about HK$2,800).
details here: http://www.topwebdesignltd.com/shopping/plaza-1/kmksin.htm
hope this helps
Why is it so cheap?Is it because the products are fake?I hope i will not be getting any problem when the friend returns back..I think i'll take the unlocked unit. Any other suggestions? Are there any risk of developing the screen alignment problem?
Does anyone know where to buy unlocked Softbank x01ht in Tokyo? How much?
Currently, I’m in Tokyo for several days. I plan to give this Softbank for my girlfriend. Thanks you in advance.
Hi friends.The friend postponed his trip to next month..So, can anybody tel me where i can get the imate or htc version of the hermes cheaply in hong kong?(less or equal to 3250 hong kong dollars). The friend told me that i may end up loosing my money if the softbank breaks. Imate or htc may cover me through warranty.. Cheers!
Can someone tell me?

Even as a Hong Kong people I hesitate to suggest ppl to get one in HK now.
Bad shop sells even lower than $3,200, but there's problem like IMEI not matching, ROM v1.14 issue (You could see a lot of those post around).
If you think it is okay, go to those shop within Computer Arcade - it charges around $3,300 - $3,400, but not like those shark shops.
I forgot to mention that i need an unlocked version. Is there a probability that it will relock itself when my friend returns back?
Any reply?
Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.
Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.
importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!
I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK
I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?
