Mobile Joker and others: Don't waste your time

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.

I used a translation website.
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.

Release Date

I've just been on the phone to Expansys uk and they tell me this device will be available through them on the 30th September,as I previously know with Expansys this could more likely mean 30th January 2006!Anybody have any release dates from other companies and when they expect to be shipping them to customers?
Also I've been reading into the facy the cpu is 200 mhz instead of the Jams current 415mhz.Is there some reason for this?Does it really mean it's a slower unit or is the device and cpu mapped differntly somehow so it will perform the same as the jam,or perhaps faster?It looks a great device and i cab't beleive they would put a much slower processor in unless there were some valid reason for it,and i don't want to "upgrade" to a slower device!Any thoughts?

I read somewhere that it would be using TI OMAPs 195mhz some say it will be slower but some say that it would make no or lil diff as the OMAPs sort of act as 'dual' processors... one for phone part the other pda part (thus no slow down and saves power). we can never be sure unless we play with it and load it with all our fav apps though... i'd wait for a hands on review since the previews floating about are of pre-prod units or engineering samples, better to read an actual full review of a shipping product. I'm really excited about the wizard!!! hope it rocks... so far it's the only ppc coming out that i am really eyeing the universal seems too big.

Cant see it been slower really - wont do their sales much good.
Terran

Unfortunately, it will be considerably slower. While the OMAP does combine seperate processors for phone and PDA functionality, at the end of the day it is just a 195MHz ARM processor (as found in PDAs from years ago) - it's not even Xscale.
The fact that its a "dual processor" doesn't help unless you are trying to use a programme like Skype (which apparently DOES work on the Wizard!).

device on smartdevicesdirect
There's this supplier in the Uk
www.smartdevicesdirect.com
that says that the wizard is going to be available in 1st october...
Does anyone have any feedback on this site ? are they reliable for purchase ?

Their price is suspiciously low -- I've preordered with www.expansys.co.uk, I tried doing a pricematch but they said
Pls be advised that we are unable to price match something that has not been released.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I guess £449 is the price I'll be paying (unless the price drops when the product is released).
When you're spending so much money, it's best to go with a company that has built up trust. I was reading the "returns" agreement with smartdevicesdirect.co.uk and you can only return if there is a fault; Expansys give you a 21 day grace period (like Argos' 16 day money-back guarantee). From experience, companies that explicitly state they can only accept returns for faulty items usually give much more problems/ resistance when trying to get an RMA --- even if the product is faulty (they have razor-thin profit margins and such).

Received this mail today
Hello,
QTEK 9100 QUAD BAND GSM / GPRS /EDGE ENABLED POCKET PC PHONE NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Just wanted to take the opportunity to advise you that our first delivery of this brand new product which was planned for mid October has
been brought forward to NEXT WEEK. We will have stock available for
immediate shipment.
For further details of the specification of this latest product in the comprehensive QTEK range which is available SIM FREE or with contract, please refer to our web site or call us for network connected pricing.
Kind rgds,
Managing Director.
Web site www.smartdevicesdirect.com
THE Mobile and Wireless Solutions Distributor

Sounds right as thats very simular to what I was told by the above lot...
Terran
( Intresting that there is no sign of the Universal.... )

Well that decides that one. Cancelled my order from Expansys and went with Smartdevicesdirect.com. Just hope I haven't made a mistake!

Well... you probably did! This device is not even leaving the factory before the second week of october. All this pre-order stuff you're reading is all (xcuse my english) CRAP :evil:

Dutch, excuse my ignorance, but how can you be so sure.
I have heard from 2 reputable online stores that they are arriving next week. Do you know something we dont ?

Yes, I do :twisted:

OK then dutch, why don't you offer it up for all.
I just pre-ordered a Wizard from MadMonkeyBoy.

Actually, better than that, I just noticed in your sig, that you already own a Qtek 9100 (sorry I didn't see that before).
While I'm waiting for mine (which might take until October), can you give your impressions of the Qtek 9100. I'd love to hear how it's working for you on a daily basis. How is Windows Mobile 2005. What are the pros and cons of this device? Can you contrast it to the S110 which you also own?
Also, can you run some benchmarks for us on that processor? If your could run the SPB benchmarks (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/benchmark/?en) I'm sure everyone would greatly appreciate it. How is full screen video playing, and what is the battery life of the device with, and witout Wifi?

Where I can buy a HTC Shift,new in box?

I'm in China,I'm gonna buy a new shift,but it doesn't release in Chinese market yet.....Someone could recommend somewhere I can buy it?I can pay it by paypal.
And I have a question about the GSM,is it possible to make a call via.HTC Shift?
Regards,
Brose

the shift seems to be unreleased yet ... but could come very soon.
I have found a new piece of information on the Expansys site :
http://www.expansys.fr/p.aspx?i=154231
It seems the it will comes at the end of the month ... and I think that France will be the first country to get the Shift. I'm waiting here in Belgium and all the stores do not have any information about the release date..
About the phone options .. if you look at the HTC site in the Support tab, you'll see that SMS are working but not the phone (by default). But here we are pretty sure that we will be able to make it able to make and receive calls... but we have to wait to get some devices to be sure about it.
I hope I have fully answered your questions.

Hi,koala996....Really really thanks for your help,man!
Frankly I found there have some sellers in ebay.com that they are selling HTC Shift,but I'm confused that their device just is 20GB hard disk,I noted the HTC Shift is 40GB hard disk from the HTC Website....Holy****! What's its exact version??
Wow...U awesome,men! I do hope u will work the phone call feature out in future. Cheers!

Shift is available in some stores

price is 1210 EUR

HTC Shift
In fact HTC Shift is already in some countries. But they are kept with the distributors they are not allowed to pass it on to the shops yet. The reason is because they wanted other shops around the world to compete fairly, rather than speculate on it.

HTC SHIFT
800MHz, 1GB, 40GB, Vista Business, EU Andere UMPC › Devices Ca. 4 Dagen €1.259,95

Just like all of us they have been very optimistic in their assumptions for a delivery date.
And time after time they delyed it...
But as you mentioned, we will see...

on expansys, the release has been push back once again, man.....i guess i will need to contact my HTC contact to find out when they are really going to release the Shift.

It's not that they are spoiled by unrealistic delivery date provided by expansys. They are actually lying every month by saying this thing is available now... from official PR! and since last october. I understand a company meeting a last minute problem before going on the production channel, but this announcment where done knowing the production was not going, as there is an estimated 2 weeks between the first unit produced and the actual delivery.
That or we have some kind of war going behind the scene between HTC and some other company.

great work ! they lying again! it's ok for me ...i buy an asus r2hv , i can't wait .....time is money , no? for htc maybe not. stupid company!

I can hardly believe that I too am falling into the trap of posting about HTC Shift availability. But here I go.
Clove technology www.clove.co.uk a company who have been trading since Psion days told me that my pre-order of the HTC Shift can now be executed and that first stock is due Tuesday march 04th 2008.
Well since I've waited about 1 year now since the CES display I figure I can wait a few more weeks and see what the reports from this forum will tell. Personally I feel that unless it shows all of good performance, full WM6, GPS, and usable data via SIM we might all be better off waiting for the HP2133 (see http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/hps-umpc-2133-revealed/ ) a product that is surely not going to be a year late.

Hey i found this on the internet, i don't know if it is true or not but the link states that the Shift is now for sale in the UK
http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1230

Just got confirmation that my Shift was shipped (from Devicewire)

It's finally in stock
Dear All, i am glad to inform you all that the HTC Shift is finally in stock for order, looks like the wait is finally over. I am getting mine tomorrow, hope you all get yours soon !

I am hesitating so much between the Shift and this, above mentioned Fujitsu p1620.
The short battery life. No entry in WM without a SIM card (not even WIFI?). No WM that can use the harddisk or SD slot.
The whole WM seems so useless now. I wanted it for long battery life.
Hardly any harddisk space left to bring my favorite films for looking at in the plane.
The P1620 on the other side may take another x months to wait for and is much, much more expensive. And SD cards to carry my films become bigger and cheaper.
My Bucharest dealer just sent me an interesting offer (4397 RON = aout 1170 Euro all in)
I could pick it up tomorrow!.
PLs help me with my decision.
I am a frequent flyer in the cattle class, so I NEED a small tool/toy. I NEED long battery last, but could buy two of course.
Huib
P.s. I think that I buy the Shift now and sell it on this forum cheaper if I go for the Fujitsu later. But still.......

HTC Shift In Stock
B"H
The Shift is now available in the USA, here:
www.onthegosolutions.com
Also, it can be shipped internationally, too.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant that it would take x months for the Fujitsu, the 1620 is available, and has been for a while I think. The U1010 is the one that hasn't launched yet.
If a lot of your use would be on the road, you have to think about battery power for sure. I think the HTC Shift has quite a few drawbacks, but I'm personally buying it because I have fallen for it, and I gotta have it :-D I hope there would be an extended battery eventually, but HTC's choice of battery pack and implementation is going to make it hard (I'm sure some third party manufacturers won't miss the chance and would come up with a new cover etc.) I have a 32GB USB and a 16GB SDHC, so hopefully with these two I could remedy some of the issues with low memory capacity on the Shift (I'd rather move the backup to a USB stick if that's possible, but should be).

No - that is when they asserted copyright. I can vouch for inkino (having visited their stores and purchased from them several times). They offer great and reliable service.
Others think so too -eg:
Metisse said:
Can I just add that I have bought my QTEK S200, Trinity and Touch Pro from INKINO. You may not get the very best price (you are generally talking only a few tens of pounds on a £500 product), but the service and assistance I have had from the guys who work there is second to none.
I went in yesterday with a problem on my Touch Pro and it was sorted straight away with no quibbles whatsoever. All the people who work there know their stuff when it comes to HTC and will be very straight with you. They are an HTC Authorised Ultimate Partner. They do not hard sell or push something they know is not what you want or need. A BIG contrast to some of the other stores in that area!
There are in fact two INKINO stores. The one at 48 Tottenham Court Road is within another shop and can get busy, the other is a little down the road at 9 Great Russell Street, bigger and generally more staff but no less quality of service.
(A big thanks to Alan, if you're listening, for yesterday - its working fine)
PS I don't work for them either.

guys,
i am from topaz and artemis forum...i am actually planning to buy leo...
any body in india had a feel of it..
any suggestions.?

How about the Copilot GPS navigator? Does it have maps for India?
Also, did you get any screen protector for the phone?

got it for 38500 in Mumbai . 1 day after launch... its awesome .. i am a iphone user and iphone is very boring after a while ..
the best part about this phone is the facebook integration .to ur contacts .. no other phone has such an awesome facebook interface/integration ...
my recommendation to u is go buy it without any hesitation and u wont look at any phone for 2 -3 yrs ... its unbelievable , battery life , camera , speed ... too good to be true ...watched a 3 hr movie and the battery still had 2 bars left
i was reluctant to spend 38000+ on any phone ... but this is worth it ... its just brilliant .. ive used the blackberry, e72, iphone .. but the possibilities in this are immense .. make sure u buy a boxed packed with warranty ..all indian htc's roms are 1.48 ...
did have the pink tint issue but the rom update resolved it slightly..

I suggest SatNav or MapMyIndia are the best GPS software out there for India, it covers practicallly every Road w/Road name and ALL the possible POI's.
Agree with khanvis2009 its a great phone overall. I purchased my N900 from New York and used it for a month - inevitably a revolutionary phone but the weak battery life disappointed me. After having switched to HD2, I'vent had a moment of disappointment since then.

It is a great phone. I have used two other models (Jasjam/Tytn, touch etc) in the past, but HD2 is very fast and extremely responsive so far. I am loving my HD2. I can now read ebooks and actually browse and surf comfortably.
It does have some glitches though. Once in a while I have noticed that touch screen stops responding and needs a hard reset. Hopefully the next ROM takes care of these issues.

I called up HTC CC they said it will be avaliable in retailer on 24th.Let me know if you get it tomorrow.

Will surely let you know. As per the agreement btw HTC and Docomo, the exclusive sale should end tomorrow. Also the guy from retail store was pretty sure that he would get the stock tomorrow.
By the way, are you from kerala?

i have booked...will be receving in another 2hrs.....curious to unpack it....

How did you book it? My retailer told that it would take another 2-3 days for the stock to arrive.

I played with the HD2 in DOCOMO store in Chennai and I must say I am impressed.
The phone is really fast and responsive and feels solid that the Touch HD that I have now. Battery cover in HD is very thin and always creaks when U try to increase volume or just hold it tight.
Albums , Music tabs all seem to work faster than my HD.
Had my wife along with me and she also said the phone feels and operates much smoother (She has an iphone ) so coming from iphone user that is good comment indeed.
Cost is 37,000 including VAT in DOCOMO but already there is a retailer in Chennai who is listing the phone for 36,000 inc VAT.
Google for - UNIVERCELL -
If only I can get a good price for my Touch HD I will without doubt be changing over to HD2.
lets see...

Its from PDA Cafe...He confirmed me it will be avaliable at 2:00Pm. I booked it..He delivered to Home.
Lovely amazing experience...
It costed me Rs 36200/- + 4 % vat

its already available in new delhi.... i purchased hd2 on 17th dec for Rs 35200 from an authorised htc dealer.... all i can say its the best phone available today... i dont have words to describe its greatness...hd2 is better than all its competitors like nokia n900,iphone 3gs,sony xperia x10,samsung omnia 2 or LG bl40... but its only weakness is poor battery backup... otherwise its most awesome phone undoubtedly!!!

Why does it always cost more here in Pune..
Any ways.. am coughing up 38K.. dealers say should be with him by evening today..
Can't wait to get my hands on it..
Any body has any news on AirTel GPRS packages that I can get with this phone.. like the one's we had for Hero and Diamond.
Cheers..
