I hope it is true, but I believe I have been seeing that 7 days number listed on that site for more than a week now.
Robert Harrold
It's been pretty consistent the last week or so and it's down to "4 days left..."
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125518
Well the official release date is the 30th (I believe this was announced on the 20th) up until then Expansys has been randomly changing the date. As far as I'm aware the Qtek 9100 should be available during the first week of October (probably from the 5th).
There's no reason why the 30th shouldn't hold, since GITEX would be over by then (29th) and they are already selling it there. Everything points to a September 30th release...
The number of days went to 6.. then back to 7... the price of the iMate version just went up by £10 too.
All i want is a firm date so i can sell this bloody MDAc
Buymobilephones.net have put their Qtec on O2 100 up by £30 notes today... was £99 the other week when I placed an order... cancelled it and have been watching since - today its £129...
Terran
Haha the K-Jam is now over £500 on Expansys.... bwahaha! It started out at £449!
Oooh and the Qtek 9100 is now £469. Makes me SO glad I preordered at smartdevicesdirect.com for £400 inc delivery!
The thing is, some people are prepared to pay whatever to get the latest phones, so the sellers can put the price up at their own wish early on. Personally it is a rip off and I'll wait until it comes back to a reasonable price. If everyone did this they wouldn't do it in the first place!
Amen! Damned hedonists ;p

I'm going to see what sort of deal I can get else where.... right fancy the web n surf tarrif from T Mobile....

Hrm, Smart Devices Direct just put the price of the K-Jam and 9100 up by £10 and £30 pre-tax respectively!. I ordered my Qtek 9100 for £339.00 now its a whopping £379.00!
The K-Jam used to be £399.00 now its £410.00.
(All prices shown pre-tax)
I guess they really are trying to get early adopter's money . It doesnt help that eXpansys is still more expensive since everyone compares prices with them... so all other businesses need to do is keep £10-£20 cheaper than eXpansys and people will still buy from them :/
The other problem is the early adopters pay a premium for the phone and it will without doubt have bugs in the software and at some point a ROM update will be available to fix them. So those who wait a little longer get a more stable device with the bugs ironed out at a cheaper price!
I got a pretty good price for being an uber early adopter ;p

Prices vary, but your best bet (if you don't want or have £675 + to spend on a new JasJar) is to look on Ebay. Some bids are starting at £300.00! But expect the reserve price to be above £500. Having said that, MDA Pro (T-mobile) are knocking them out on contract quite reasonably priced, which means that some JasJar owners might be letting theirs go soon for less than £600.00, but I wouldn't hold your breath!
Once you've got one of these babys, chances are there's no turning back. They seriously Rock! 8)
The Dutch MDA Pro can be bought for about 800 euros, it is a WWE device. Only minor detail: simlocked to T-Mobile Netherlands, but some rumours say that when you buy a contract-free device, you only have to fax them your invoice to get the unlock code for free. I have however not tested this myself, so no guarantees for that!
I got mine (assuming we are talking about the HTC Universal - I my case an imate JasJar) from expansys.com
I went for the £75 per month package which, due to the 50% line rental offer, is only £37.50 per month for a THOUSAND free minutes (on vodafone). This brought the price of the phone down to £117ish......
Hope that helps!
PS -
1 I'm in the UK
2 the 50% line rental offer is only for 6 months, but I rang them to check and you can change your tariff after 6 months
3 The worst thing (no problem for me) is that the contract length is EIGHTEEN months.....

That is really a great price for the device. I paid more than Amazon's listed price just a month ago for my 7500.
Cheaper yesterday....
I have been tracking this soon to be selling item and yesterday it popped up for 799.00 from Amazon itself and 1400 bucks from mobilesityonline.com. In the afternoon, it refreshed the web page and claimed it was not in stock but will be soon. This morning i checked just for the heck of it and sure enuff its at a higher price but a good deal nonetheless. So Im not sure what happened here if they found out the price was too good to be true they had to ramp it up to milk a little more or what. I hope this isnt a bad trend they are getting into here.
$799 is even close to what MobilePlanet/Expansys charges for X7500 with $40/mo T-Mobile USA 2-Year contract.
http://www.mobileplanet.com/d.aspx?i=149904
I just remember that I paid more than $799 for a XDA II (Himalaya) 3.5 years ago.
Yeah I'm very interested in this. Is it confirmed that Amazon will start shipping around August 1st?

This one with the WM5. T Mobile is on Germany offering far better deals than that with a 2-year contract.

Yes, that's why I said it is 7500 (which is upgradeable to WM6 and comes with two cameras)
The one on Amazon is 7501.
CompUSA also has 7501 on their website now.

It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?
tboy2000
I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..
We'll see...

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.
nick
I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.
UPDATE... MISTAKE: It is 0.5% cashback not 5%. Sorry all!
That would bring it to £497.49
Play.com price: £499.99
Quidco Cashback: 5% (https://www.quidco.com)
Total cost: £474.99
I think that is the cheapest price in the UK. Play.com only ship mobiles to UK only though.
Very tempting.
Thanks for the link -I already ordered from Clove though - they say stock will be coming in 4th Nov.......but I might order from Play if the dates change - that's a good price!

Yes, I just call them, they reply me that, they will have the HD in stock by next week and it realy cheaper than Expansys, you can even pick it from the shop at Tottenham Court Road, I am going for it. thanks
I am tempted to go down there next week to get it.
Wow! That's a great price. Is there a catch. I a London based too. Shall we all meet up and go there together to Tottenha Court Road? BTW, Uk guys, I am on 3 network. I should be able to use my USIM in the HD right?
When is it coming out at best digital market? I am tempted but I am afraid that I will have problems with my T-Mobile sim and the phone.

Don't bother guys, to buy from bestdigitalmarket.com, the price has gone up and release date is same as expansys, lucky me that did not cancell my order with expansys..
Anybody had experience ordering from handtec.co.uk? They seem like the best price right now and a Nov 12th availability.

I've used Handtec a couple of times. On both occasions I had no problems, with quick delivery on stock items. They do seem to slightly undercut many other suppliers. They are shown as an official supplier by HTC.

Play appear to have updated their price now - to £519.99 ...

you belong banned for posting that in almost every topic. at least be a man and state that it is you who is selling Touch HD on ebay.
by the way, to start bidding at 500GBP (+ 25 GBP shipping) is a rip off, dude.
According to the new CPW catalogue it's £499.99 from them.
//None Redacted
I'll have to spit $650 for it, with 1 year contract extension...
i got mine direct from o2 as a contract replacement handset, the price from them was £370 but you have to have had a contract with them for over 12 months

Hey,
I am hoping to get my hands on a SIM free HD2 fairly soon, and i was just wondering where people have got theirs from and how much it cost them?
Best i've found so far is £440 for unlocked and sim free.
There is always ebay i guess but i'm not hugely trusting in it tbh XD

So theoficialprice from xpansys ws on december 524 euros I am sure you can find many of them on ebay for much less.....!
The resonis simpel there are many lemons HD2 out there.
If I was you, before buying, read closely all the threads that are talking about bugs.
And best of all just wait few more weeks to see what would be the future new devise out there.
Realy HTC hd2 is not a reliable devise

Is this from Handtec.co.uk? Careful, that price is for RETURNED devices. Brand new models are currently £450 - still a bargain though.

and plus VAT. £464.13
When you buy it from expansys.com, you'll get it for 469,99 but with a 30 pounds voucher for other expansys products. Maybe you want to purchase some accessoires anyway.
You can also get a B-Stock HD2 (whatever that means) for 450.
B-Stock = used/opened product.
I bought my HD2 from handtec.co.uk. The was price was around 460.
If you pay by card and the delivery address is different from the billing address you will need to provide proof of your billing address.

Every single HD2 comes with a brand-new resealing sticker in the box for some insane reason....so I would never trust a private sale as being 'sealed'. I sold my 4th one genuinely sealed, never been opened. I'd be willing to bet a lot of these 'sealed' ones don't have the spare seal in the box!
