Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those German jokers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

Sharrap!!
It's 380 Pounds with a 1Gb SD Card. Otherwise, it's £324 for the Compact alone.
The German version comes with a 2 year warranty compare with the 1 year Imate warranty.
Also, the MDA Compact doesn't have the sound quality issues the Jam has. You really ought to make sure you know what you're talking about before you call the German people "jokers". :evil: :evil:
What do you work for them?
Firstly, the sound issue will be fixed in the next rom update, so WHO CARES?
Secondly, wouldn't you rather deal with pleasant old Amazon than a bucket shop who promises you the world and then sends someone to your door to collect cash because they cannot even accept credit cards?
Lastly, who on earth gives two sh*ts about a two year guarantee? After one year, you chuck the phone, it's obsolete, and you get an upgrade?
Would really be happy with an guarantee on an xda 1 today??????
Come on...

You really need to keep the swearing out.
Regarding the sound, it's not only a Rom issue. If you knew what you were talking about youu'd know that in some cases, it's a hardware issue and not a ROM issue. That's why many people are on their second and third Jams from Expansys after returns.
I care and many others do.
Not everybody would rahter dea with your "plesant old Amazon" some people prefer to buy at a better price.
The warranty does matter. Maybe you will throw your Jam away in a year but most of us won't.
Your points really make no sesne at all. Would people really throw their PDA away after a year? People "don't care" for an extra year's warranty? I don't think that even YOU agree with them!!
I have bought my MDA Compact from MobileJoker.de (i'm french), and i'm very satisfacted ! The shop was very professionnal, and respond quickly to emails...
My MDA was "bought" on a friday night, and the next thursday, i've received it via UPS.
All for 472 euros including shipment in paying at delivery.
Thanks MobileJoker !
is there an english version of this website, i don't speak german and i have no idea what it's saying. I clicked on the jam and it took me to a page and when it came to payment details etc. i couldn't understand a word. any help would be appreciated. cheers
I also had a good experience with MobileJoker and no complaints.

Email them if you need more help.
if i can help you with german go ahead.
besides that i also ordered from mobilejoker.de but with plan for 93EUR.
@mikeycollins13
i think c.o.d is a very good and save method to pay for goods.
we in germany also often uses automatic debit transfer.
and i understand that island monkeys didn't know value of a guarantee.

Please explain the logic of the statement above.
You are not making any sense at all.
You're telling us that it's stupid to go for a lower price, longer gurantee and better device (better ROM and no hardware or software sound issue).
It seems that you don't know much about life outside the UK. There is a lot more to the world than the UK. COD is common in Germany, It makes sense not to part with your money until you have your purchase Do you intend to argue with that too?
2-year warranties are common in Europe unlike the UK. Mobilejoker are "safe and reputable". Just because you haven't heard of them-you that doesn't know much of life outside the UK-doesn't mean that there are not. There is a lot more to the world than you think. Is it not "safer" to hold your money until you hold your PDA????????
I think it's time for you to admit that you're wrong.

Their price is excellent - if I buy one, will it be in English or German though? In other words, what am I NOT getting by buying from mobilejoker instead? English manuals I can live without - I can download those - but is the handeld, german?
i think it is in german, but it is easy to put a english firmware on it.
but i don't know, maybe they ship international the english version.
does any1 know if the audio problem with the imate models has been fixed?
what is the problem anyway, just in case i get the phone and not realize that it is faulty and assume that that's how it is.....cheers

Only thing amazon do better is delivery time, where they excel. Mine just arrived today from mobilejoker - 1 week delivery via UPS from germany. Exactly as stated on the UPS site.
TOO expensive from amazon though, and up until about a week ago, they didn't have stock.
While contacting Handtec to pre-order the HD2, I have been informed that there will be a delayed. Instead of 11 of November, the new availability date has been pushed back to 18 November or so.
Can anyone enquire with their retailer and confirm (or refute) this bad news?
Apparently, HTC advised them of the delay; yet, no details have been given.
I suspect a ROM or logistics problem.
Clove changed the ETA as well last night
Stock due 13th November (First UK Stock). Should be free stock so place back orders now!

Exactly, I just sold mime on eBay thinking I would just spend few days with Polaris (backup), now I will try to delay the delivery of the sold item. I don't know what to say to the bidder, though!
From handtec chat:
Customer Services (815): Hi there, how may I assist you today?
kersh: hello
kersh: Last week I made a preorder of the HD2 because I see that you will receive it 11th
Customer Services (815): Hi
kersh: but today looking some forums, I see that you say to some people that handtec release date have been delayed to 18th
kersh: what are your final release date?
Customer Services (815): we can only go by UK's HTC release date - as we have probably UK's largest stock allocation
Customer Services (815): HTC is stating the earliest date of the 11th
Customer Services (815): and latest 18th
kersh: So, you dont have any idea of the release atm and only a range of 11th to 18th
kersh: when will you update the date?
kersh: (with the final)
Customer Services (815): yes - I dont think even HTC know but they have given us that range - luckily our first allocation is big enough for all preorders

So, they don't know the release date and they don't know if they will have enough stock for all on the first batch.
I am thinking in cancel the order and get new one on clove, 13th and they say that he will have enough stock for all.

Today I got a Mail that delivery will delay until the End of November
So hopfefully these days come fast...
Clove have removed the expected delivery date for the Venue Pro and instead just have a means of registering your email address to be notified of when it becomes available.
They also seem to have removed all the specs.
This doesn't bode well - any thoughts?
Just spoke with Clove. It seems the availability of the phones is being delayed - 'possibly until next year'. Further info will be sent out by email, they tell me.
I'm starting to feel slightly better that I decided to go for HD7 in the end
Am wondering if it's worthwhile jumping ship to Expansys, they're cheaper anyway as the postage is free.
I like that Clove is accepting Paypal unlike Expansys... Still would be good to know if both are expecting a delay.
I called Expansys, they said they are expecting 250 Venue Pros on the 16th and currently there are 80 pre-orders, so there's going to be plenty of stock to go round.
I just cancelled my Clove order and ordered with Expansys instead, saving myself about £6 in postage into the bargain.
Expansys seemed a lot more confident of delivery than Clove.
News from Clove
Dear ...,
Thank you for ordering a Dell Venue Pro, it is appreciated.
We do today, however, have some important news. We have been informed that the
first stock of the Dell Venue Pro to arrive in the UK has been delayed until
January, due to a supply issue with components.
This is a problem that is plaguing many other manufacturers too, so Dell is not
alone. We appreciate it does not ease the situation, but reconfirms the issue
globally.
In addition there has been some confusion over the on board memory and microSD slot
on the Dell Venue Pro. Despite being told earlier that it will have a microSD slot,
it has been confirmed that the stock set to arrive in January will have NO microSD
slot, but will have 8GB of internal memory.
We are very frustrated by the delay and change in specification but pass this
information to you at the earliest opportunity.
Unless we hear otherwise from you, we shall now hold your order until the stock
arrives and ship it when it does become available.
We thank you for your custom and understanding.
The Clove Technology Sales Team.
That really sucks.
No such gloomy news from Expansys though, but then they are further up the pecking order than Clove...
Do we have any idea if Dell UK intends to sell it?

I talked to a Dell agent, they have no information. That's again ridiculous.
Also I asked if a US VP would work in the UK and they said I need to ask Dell US .
Well if we do have to wait until January, at least by then the Cut 'n' Paste update will already be out, possibly with a bunch of other updates and fixes. Which may save us a couple of months of pain.
I jsut got email from clove say fist shipment has been delayed until january.
Any news from expansys? They seem to be adamant on their shipment dates next week...
I emailed eXpansys, seems they're saying it'll be delayed too now.

I also placed an order this morning, will let you all know when it arrives.
I have not seen it yet but there is a + to this? who knows what it would be?
ordered one too...im a picture quality sucker and this phone has it.....
Just talked to Martin at GSMnation. Mine wont ship until Friday. They have had 50-60 orders for this phone in two days. Apparently they've been shipping them out this week, Hopefully BagOfSnakes got his in a lot earlier than my order so he gets his by Friday.
Mine still hasn't shipped either, I got feeling they put this up for sale without knowing exactly when the product was arriving. I've been keeping a close eye on the internets and comparing online retailers. I posted the day they put the Arc up for sale. Unless they had tons of preorders we should be the first few. But I don't even think they had a North American Arc up for preorder at all. They already charged my CC too. That better mean they actually have the phone in their possession to be sent.
I contacted their live chat today and asked about the Silver color. They said that they plan on selling the silver color soon and he advised me to check back next week.
Just wanted to share this info in case people are interested in the silver like I am.

I spoke to the SE folks last month and they mentioned that they did not have a release date for the US. They mentioned that it was going on sale in Canada towards the end of April and that an unlocked version would be available in Canada towards the mid-end May timeframe.
Hopefully, the information I got was incorrect and you guys get your phone soon!

Hi guys,
I just placed my order for a One last night on Asda Direct.
Anyone else orederd from them also?
Thought I would start a thread in case anyone else has.
Seems like most people who getting it SIM Free are getting it from Handtec but Handtec have no cashback so works out £13 more.
Looks like Asda Direct delivery is hit or miss so even though it states delivery on release date (which is wrong info as its bank holiday and I called them and they said should be with you on the Saturday), I doubt I will get it before 2nd April.
Does Asda direct allow international purchases also?

You wont get it on 29th as its bank holiday.
Earliest is 30th for us.
Thats if they not sold out of first batch of phones.

Hi! What made you say that those who ordered from those stores won't be getting UK handsets?
I think it's quite weird since those are based on UK. I don't think HTC would be stocking US or Asian handsets on those stores right? Else that would just mess up their distribution structure.

Ás much as I want that good luck it's highly impossible. As you can see I am not from UK so having a non-UK phone on handtec would greatly benefit me as that would likely give me chances of having a compatible Asian LTE. But I already asked them about that before I made a purchase and as they said they'll be providing EU models only. They even posted on the description the LTE bands it will be supporting. So.... hopefully your words would create a miracle. lol
I sent them a email saying they are false advertising that we will get it delivered on good friday. Thats impossible so they are in fact lying to customers.
Will ask for good will reward or I will go instore to purchase one at Phones4U.
