Hi guys! I am from Rissia, currently use T mobile mda compact. I`ve been dreaming about p3600 for quite while, but it seems to me that i will not be able to get it over here for quite long time.
Anyway, a friend of mine will be in London for few days to attend a chelsey/manchester united football game. He can buy a phone for me, but without any hussle. He will be living in Hilton London Kensington (179-199 Holland Park Avenue) can anyone advize if he can buy Trinity somewhere near that plase, or recommend a trustworthy internet shop that would deliver it to him on time?
Thanks a lot for any advise!
He just needs to take the tube and go to Tottenham Court Road, where there are at least 10 shops selling the P3600. I bought it there last Saturday. And don't forget to tell him that he must be prepared for hard negotiation otherwise he will end up paying 550 pounds which is much much more than he should.
Thanks, Man!
Thanks!
I`ve naver been in London/ Tube means subway? What should he look for at Tottenham Court Road? Are these shops on the street or there would be a mall?
What do you think a reasonable prise should be? 500?
Thanks!
Tell your friend to go here..... I picked mine up for £449 which is the same price as Expansys are charging for theirs.

Black and white were in stock when I picked mine up!
Just print off the webpage and go in and ask for it.
Thanks Dave! But where should he go& I guess there is a missing link in your post!
Anyway I am looking for the closest plase with the easiest directions.
Thanks!

Yes tube is the subway. Nearest stop is Tottenham Court Road (easy!). Lots of shops on both sides of the street in Tottenham Court Road near Oxford Street intersection. He can have it for 450.
Thanks a lot, man! You've made my day!

Yes they are open on Sundays (only a few hours though - I think 12 to 5pm). If you pay by credit card they will probably give you a higher price.
Have you considered buying online and having it shipped to you? The cheapest price I can see at the moment is at www.easydevices.co.uk
This is if you want the english version. Otherwise you will find it at cheaper prices in other european countries (check www.expansys.com ).
In that case I will have to pay customs which will be 20% of the value + shipping 40-50 pounds
How much higher the credit card payment may be?
Thanks for the answers, man!
Actually, if they would not include vat in the international shipment I might as well do that. gonna ask them about it..

I don't know what price you can get when paying by credit card. Regarding VAT: definitely it is not charged if goods are shipped outside the EU.
Hi, I've 3 units of the Trinity, if you're interested let me know and are slightly cheaper than the 499.
Let me know if interested.

Hi thought you guys might be interested in a new universal its on a make an offer auction if you bid tell me your from xda developers and i will sell it cheaper.
LINK- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XDA-EXEC-BRAN...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i don't trust those seller in UK at all. My first bad experience with for that was i won the auction in Ebay for an O2 exec. Paid the seller almost $700 USD thru Paypal. That jerk sent me a package with the 2 empty canned air inside. After I file a claim thru Paypal, that seller hide away like a dog. From there on, no more buying on Ebay from any UK seller for any expensive item. There are some guys in the state selling the NIB O2 exec for around $400 USD on Ebay for now. Your price is kind a high
Thats not my selling price! the idea is that you make an offer for it.
Shipping?
I have a uni, but would like a spare in case of future mishaps, the only problem is that I live in South Africa, is it possible to ship it here? And what will the charge be?
Thanks

sorry already sold for £175 + p&p
I just find out that x7510 will not not going to sell in my country (Malaysia).
This is indeed a very bad news as I really wanted to buy this unit.
Can anyone recommend any good & trusted online shop which sell this unit (preferably the one that offer the unit with good price) and willing to send to Malaysia & also accept Paypal or Google Checkout.
Now I am looking at expansys UK but it is good to get a few more alternative for comparision purpose.
Thanks
I live in Australia and I got it from the uk @ www.clove.co.uk/ . They are good, ive got lots of stuff from them.

Mine came from www.onthegosolutions.com based in Illinois, USA. I don't know how the price will seem to you, but I have nothing but good words for the service.

Theres no tax for you also, so you can exclude vat
packing yea was good. Water proof sealed bag with bubble wrapped around the x7510 box.
I suggest you buy if from the uk if you live in Malaysia since the Americans like to mod their phones for them to work in their country plus don't you use 240 voltage?
i got mine straight off UK online retailers

Would you mind share which UK retailer?
there are many, 2 of which are trust worthy
expansys,
and
devicewire
Here is a list of OFFICIAL HTC RETAILERS in the UK (select UK): http://www.htc.com/europe/where_to_buy.aspx
As you can see CLOVE Technology is in there (that's where I bought mine delivered to the US via DHL)
DEVICEWIRE is in there too.
Stay away from EXPANSYS and ONTHEGOSOLUTIONS. Why? Because they are OVER PRICED. Their service is just as good as any of the listed from above. Nothing different.
Thanks for all suggestion. Now I am more keen to get it from clove.

I bought from Inkino.
However, in the end I did not buy X7510 but instead choose to purchase used Dopod U1000 from local owner at very good price I think. Its only £275 but with almost new condition with remaining 4 month warranty from HTC. I could not see any scratch whatsoever The previous owner seem like not using it at all. It comes with 2GB memory card, VGA out cable & car holder as well. I am a very happy of to own this unit.
For Aussies who are looking to buy HTC Touch HD, you might like to know that a Melbourne based ebayer is now selling it bundled with TomTom6 and 8GB MicroSDHC card.
We also get local warranty for buying it here.
I just won one at about AUD1225, after being unsuccesful in the first attempt (the winning bid was AUD1250). All prices are inclusive of GST.
I thought it is not a bad deal. With the current exchange rate, it actually works out to be cheaper than importing from expansys Singapore assuming we can escape import duty. Depend on the exchage rate, it is quite close to importing to UK.
A couple of sellers are offering to let you buy it without bidding at about AUD 1350, also with TT6 (full license with latest Aussie Map) included.
I thought some of us here might be interested in this info.
Cheers.
thansk for yours info

I think that depends on your conversion rate that your credit card charges you.
The key reasons I bought it here was, at worst there is no significant difference in price (Many actually bidded successfully at got it at lower price than I did), you are assured GST is already included, hence no more import duty, local warranty, and inclusion of Tom Tom 6 (legit copy).
Are you sure you get better than that?
I bought one on the Buy it Now option for $1299. Mainly because he has TomTom with AU maps included. Many others are removing the 8Gb card, some even adding a 2Gb card as an offer having taken the 8Gb out!
I bet you were the bugger who outbid me for the 1225 one! ;-)

So, you were the bugger who drove the price so high!
Actually, those who bidded later got it a lower price.
We should have conspire and bidded one at a time, then all of us would have got it for 2.50

Well the phone you bought was not Australian stock. Either was mine but i know that. The guy you bought it from basically imported it and is now selling it for a premium. The way i purchased my handset is cutting that middle man out. And since it is not Australian stock it would be interesting to see how this "local warranty" will work out for you. My handset came to under $1000 so i had no gst or import tax. And i have tom tom 7 already so 6 doesn't really appeal to me

Okay, of course, all stocks came from China ultimately. HTC is a Taiwanese company which had manufacturing plants in China. So is Iphone for that matter. IPhone is manufacutred in China by Foxconn, which is another Taiwanese company with factory in China.
Everyone imports and sell for profit. You have paid a differet middleman by buying from Europe, that's all. Unless you buy directly from HTC China, you will have middleman.
I get your point regarding the so called local warranty, though. I hope HTC Australia honor it. If not, this guy might be just be paying for my freight to HTC Hong Kong for servicing I guess.
Have you received your credit card statement, or check it online to find out the conversion rate yet? Usually credit card company's rate is highly unfavourable, so am just curious what did they charge you with.
You're right about TT6. I'm not going to use it either.

Well all up once shipping was paid for i believe it was just under the $1100 mark. I highly doubt that htc will honour that warranty which is why i suggest you contact them asap. Even if my warranty isn't honoured in Austrlia i have a 2 year manufacturer warranty with a store i can send the handset back to. If i need to send it back of course i will pay the cost which is unfortunate. BUT, it is better than having no warranty and no place to send it back to.
i did what davecash did and got mine from Handtec
my credit card came up at AUD$1081
very happy with it so far, exactly what i need for my use. now just gotta suss out some tweaks :-D
Your credit card amount will be an uncertainty especially in this highly volatile time. At the time when I looked at it, I would be paying more than you guys if I had bought it from Handtec.
Another uncertainty was the import duty. Because the amount was bordering around 1000, it may be slightly more than 1000 or slightly less. I would have to live with the possibility of an import duty.
So I decided to bid because I would know for sure what I was going to pay, whereas getting from Handtec I did not know at what exchange rate I would be hit with, and if I would have to pay import duty.
Another thing to bear in mind is, just because you guys paid that amount is no guarentee that another person will be able to get that exchage rate. You know very well that AUssie currency is sliding downward these days.
So, I bidded in ebay.com.au.
I realised that I was impatient and bidded a little higher. This guy got it for much less at AUD1176
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250324322216
If you're able buying for business, there is also the benefit of the 10% GST input tax that you can offset, I think.
This seller advertised himself as operating in Melbourne, and I made a call to Melbourne, and there was a person there speaking to me. So...
I guess that shop might not be around when I need the warranty, but that would be just the same for Handtec I guess.
So, for all who are buying, weigh all the pros and cons and decide for yourself what you think is the best.
Cheers.
I was bidding on some of those phones too. But was outbid at $1200 at the last moment.
I wound up paying full price.
However, I don't mind as it has local warranty, and given my past experiences with smart phones, that is a must. I can also claim GST, and at today's exchange rate, it would be over the magic $1,000 mark if imported directly.
Bought my Xperia X1 and HTC Touch HD through MobiCity. It was shipped from HK via FedEx, next day delivery.
Prefer the HD for those wondering.

Did you pay $1349 for the HD? A little expensive I thought.
I get $2000 a year for mobile phone purchase (I own) ontop of my pay packet. The Sony Experia X1 was rolled over to a Director who wanted it after we finished testing it, his Audi Q7 wouldn't sync correctly using bluetooth with Touch Pro (the X1 syncs perfectly). Never had a problem with HTC's phone and my BMW.
My departments budget includes funding to buy, test and use (or not) mobile phones that we believe may be usable within our organisation.

Lucky you, mate. How does Mobicity do the warranty? Do they have to send it overseas or whill HTC Australia do it?
I bought my HD for $1050 total from handtec but that’s no longer possible with the current exchange rate and handtec's price increase.
Note that if you buy it from a "local" seller and need to send it back for warranty, it is highly likely that they will have to send it back overseas to get your phone fixed/replaced. It's not like they stock up on it and can just give you a replacement sent via express post nor can they send it to HTC Australia. That could result in an unfavorable turnaround time.
Regardless, if you want the phone go buy it because once you have it the price is all forgotten. Don't worry about how much you paid or what others got it for and just enjoy the phone.

Did you have to pay any GST or Duty when it arrived here in Australia ?
Looking to buy one soon.

$ 1121.00 including postage. He sold the last 10 quickly and the next 20 are up for sale.
Obviously he/she is from HK, Don't know about the Sydney contact, maybe a friend ?

Your email was from a Mary? She told me that her stock has already been all returned to her supplier because the 8GB MicroSDHC and user manual are missing and she has sourced for the unit from another supplier but the stock are yet to arrive. So she currently has no stock. The stock is shipped out of Hong Kong, and not Sydney. Seems that everyone in Australia is advertising that they have stock, then ship the item out of Hong Kong.
I cancelled my order from the last one I ordered 10 days after payment (supposed to arrive from Melbourne 1-2 days after payment). He has has the wrong stock being returned to his supplier story. But I got the full refund.

I'm Italian too and the Nexus 4 will be buyable in the end of November and the first dais of dicember from Internet and shops as Media world..
Now the question is: how much will it cost? I read in countries those can't buy it from play store (Italy, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands and others) it will cost 550 euro in 16gb version! It's a theft!
Any information about this?
