Yes that is legit. But I am sorry I wont be buying it. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay and that is well overpriced. If you want it go for it. But hey I find that overpriced.
How low can I get it for and where?
Also, will I have to wait for english ROM?
Many thanks.

The one on ebay has Operation System : Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone (World Wide English).... so that kinda solves your problem of the english ROM. And it solves another of your problems that you havent mentioned. That is the chinese characters on the keyboard. i am sure you wouldnt want that. But it is $1500USD...
............................................................
The one being sold here by WU15903 whatever his name is.... err he is selling for $1300USD right? But it has a chinese ROM for now not a big deal because you can overflash it. But there is one problem that the keyboard has chinese characters on it. So it is certainly a option i wouldnt choose. Almost the same price. I guess those are the only two ways to get it for you...
...................................................................................................
But if I were you.... I would go onto google. Select preferences and select chinese, japanese, taiwanese and korean languages only. then search for 'buy dopod U1000' and many shops and other places where you can buy it for cheaper. except its all in jebrish so you gotta guess your way through using logic. and maybe you can grab yourself a sweet deal for $1000USD. hmm?
.....................................................................................................
But if you are a lazy guy and dont want to take the trouble of searching. Just close your eyes and go for the ebay one. Although you will face maybe a $300-$500USD loss. But i guess when you get the phone you wont find any flaws in it and will be very happy regardless of the price. So just go for the ebay one... lemme know what you choose.

That's interesting wu. Never thought of how simply that could be done. I'm definitely up for a sturdier keyboard anyway and an extra number row would make life easier.

Anyways going back to the topic. what have you decided fpbiii? where will you buy the dopod u1000 from?
Still haven't decided.
Believe it or not, the dealbreaker will be if it can fit in my pants pocket and I can handle the discomfort.
Can someone please post a picture of this thing in your pocket or something to help me decide. Once I know, I will buy! I like the one on ebay, but paying 1500 is outrageous. I will wait until it comes down around 1100 or so. I would take either the silver or black one.

Ok if you want the black one order it from 972telecom.com. thats where i have also placed my pre-order. Its around $1000CDN on pre-order. Much cheaper than the dopod u1000 and much better. Let me know what you decide. You will have to pay $50-$100 on customs. I agree $1500USD is outrageous. And truly its uncomfortable in the pockets of your trousers. There is a high chance you might damage the screen or keyboard in your pocket. It is like a mini-book in the trouser! very discomforting. I am sure you dont need to see pictures for that
********************************************************************
Let me know what you decide ^^ because i would highly recommend 972telecom.com a store in montreal. Very good store. I will be picking up my black athena from there in april.

so did they say even if the device comes out to be more expensive, they won't charge you more from the pre-order price? if that's the case, then great news. However, when you say it's much better then DOPOD U1000? what do you mean? they are the same? just the colour is different? is that your personal view point again?

Yes all the devices have similar spec's. I just prefer the black one because of the material it uses and I have never possessed a HTC Branded phone before. I dont know how much of your story about dopod is true but they are certainly a huge company like t-mobile. I also like the material HTC used for the body frame part. Anyways the pre-order price is fixed. I can pay it all off now or later. But the price is fixed and i will ask him to send me an invoice/quote to proove it hence.
*************************************************
Regardless, what i find amazing is that htcphonestore.com still retails Universal for $1100USD and Athena is only $1500USD.... i mean like does that mean that not much has changed from Universal -> Athena? Because I find that Universal is only worth maybe $500 - $600USD.

actually, the devices have exactly the same spec. btw have you hold an Advantage in your hand? did you go to the 3GSM? just want to know that.
Well, if the pre-order price is fix, then you can send a e-mail to expansys or mobile planet to tell them to remove their listing of Advantage, because they won't get any order if the price elsewhere is so much cheaper.
Also, this is just my PERSONAL though, the website you place pre-order on, it doesn't look very professional for me, any one think the same way?

why dont you fly to their store then.. and yes i havent held a Advantage in my hand ever. But just so that why dont you call HTC and ask them what material is the body made of? prolly that will satisfy you?

man, i though you have been following the post before, i was one of the tester of Advantage, i actually hold one in front of me before. I don't need to call them, because there is nothing i can find out. Basically, the only difference between them are the colour, material is down to your personal taste, all i can say is DOPOD (probably Ameo as well) is smoother surface, where Advantage is rougher.
One thing i am sure is you will be flashing DOPOD or Ameo Rom in the future.
p.s. And also, i am not saying the store is fake, i am just saying their website doesn't look very professional.

well, if you have place your pre-order, then there is nothing i can say,
although i will suggest any other people who consider buying the Advantage to wait until it's actually in-stock.
If the price is like what nuclear said so much cheaper than the official price, than i am sure all other store will have it as well. Don't rush yourself into this. Better wait and see, maybe you can get a even better deal!
Not much different if you place your pre-order now, you will still get it around the same time.
If you have preorder your new Touch HD with expansys.com then check it out, your delivery Order Tracking status, the days are counting down, oh I can't wait any longer. I hope it should be more quick. my shows remaing 27 days, Hooray

You can see it here http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/2008/10/21/htc-touch-hd-unboxing-video/

Looked like he was having a few problems with the tf3d. Hope the interface is going to be smooth and responsive and not like the touch diamond!! The confirmed date for UK is the 9th Nov but this can apparantly move either way.

I think it´s that he let of his finger of the screen like someone said or that he got a old pre-release version. In the other video, it works great as said earlier!
I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am apparently and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..I put it up for 1 day on eBay - but I will end the listing - if I can - if someone here wants it...
JEEZ ...
OT; which is the most common? Black or silver?
May I asked how much?
I think that [and this is just a guess] that black is more common. Not because silver is hard to get and there are many black ones available but because silver [in my opinion] doesn't look as good as the black because of the black keys. I would prefer the silver one if it weren't for the black keys.

I listed it for $825 .. I paid more. But then, I am in the U.S.A. and we always get the shaft when it comes to cool phones .. Basically I paid $75 to play with it for a day. IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH !!! If I could see the screen I would FOR SURE keep it.

I you go to settings-system-display-textsize and change it to one step bigger and install HTC enlargestartmenu - is it then not big enough for your old eyes ?
Can you pm me to your ebay link please?
Speaking of phones with wonderful revolution, anyone see the T*Omnia that's coming out? An Omnia with 800x480 resolution... That'd be something to consider. Not to go too far off topic, but I just saw it on Engadget.

Yes it's looks very nice, and with HSPA! Except Korea's UMTS networks are only 2100mhz, so Stateside you might be stuck with just EDGE unless Samsung just happens to make it multi-band.

Exactly what i wanted to say...
I'm also interested. It would be nice to know where u are selling it. Maybe a link?
The version listed on Engadget is Korean only, you wont see anything that will properly work in the USA. The Omnia is going to be released soon, sans- WVGA resolution and Tv tuner..
go to settings then screen
and then from screen go to text size
and you should be able to increase the text from that tab
it's at the bottom to the far left
also could enable cleartype which would make the text more clear
This is a winner...
Anyone want to buy my HD2 so I can afford this badboy?
lol
my hd2 was as useful as that when i forst got it.. but its been very good for a while now.. fingers crossed
WOW, PUTTING MY HD2 ON EBAY NOW!!! Hopefully no one knows about this fine piece of kit!

have contacted Microsoft a while ago... buttons are not a problem... its the fact that the aerial should be within the phone and not extending outside... too bad... i knew this was gonna happen!!
Hi,
as you may mention I'm a german guy how is impatient of getting this nice bar in hands.
Atm I'm running a HD2 but this will be sold on thursday because of its OS, disregarded the progress in Android development.... you all know that this will never work cleanly.... not for the next year, so get the money the HD2 now is worth and don't let it addict.
SO... I wanne know if there is any release date of the Streak in Germany is leaked or better I wanne read some experiences you guys out there get with this likely device!
Please make me buff of what you know and what I like to know ^^
Maybe some specs who are not specified right or not accurate... like whats the material on the side where the buttons on or how long the battery will actually last, if you can use flashlight on taking photos, or maybe a video of the working approxi-sensor or the light sensor .....
something like that
best regards

Unfortunately Dell is really USELESS about release dates for the Streak. Constantly their online sales chat say they have no further information when I ask them about their US release date.
Their marketing for the product is rather bizarre, seems like they are doing it right in the UK though.
Eagerly waiting as well...

I've had my Streak for a few weeks and I love it.
The material where the buttons are is black glossy plastic. My battery lasts about 2 days with normal use, which is about 1.5x the battery life of my G1 (Dream).
