Does anyone know when the XDA EXEC will release in Asia, esspecially in Indonesia?. Becoz I'm kinda sick with the Dopod 900 [its a baaad PDA]. And I'm affraid if the O2 in Asia only release the xda atom not the exec.
anyone could help me please??
As i understand, XDA Exec will not be release in Asia. The only vendor that will launch them is Dopod, as model 900.
Not exactly sure what you meant by Dopod 900 [is bad PDA], as XDA Exec = Dopod 900 = HTC Universal.
The only difference would be the bundled applications they may contained in the device, and of course the color.
Geez..
I've heard from someone that the EXEC will be release in Philipines on XMAS '05
It's gonna be sad if the O2 didn't release the EXEC in Asia, becoz many people are waitin for EXEC and not to buy the Dopod 900 [eventhough they are same HTC Universal]
Philipine is Asia, Indonesia too.... :wink:
Just wait Info from seeo2.com (Now, only Officialy announced Xda Atom)
----
gw juga nunggu Exec koq, Bro.....
There is no O2 coverage in the Phillipines. Nor an O2 vendor. Not unless they just want to sell the phone, which is highly unlikely.
:roll:
the o2 that sells the xda line of devices in asia is not a telco provider...they just sell devices.....
dopod 900 is a baaaad pda because they are selling it at a much higher price than o2 usually does....in case u dint know dopod is a part of HTC, and i think they are not allowing o2 asia to sell the devices, so dopod is the sole brand
Interesting. As far as I understand, Dopod 900 is the same as O2 XDA Exec and Dopod 900 is a bad machine just because of its high price...
Anyway, Dopod is a subsidiary of HTC and they're selling the machines in Hong Kong through a distributor called SiS. Dopod's price is quite expensive at the moment (USD 1064), but bear in mind that it comes with 1Gb SD Card and Dopod's bluetooth handsfree (though this Dopod bluetooth sucks).
Rumour has it that O2 is going to set up its own presence in Hong Kong and will also launch O2 XDA Exec in Hong Kong too. However, the price of O2 XDA Exec may even be higher than Dopod 900..... :lol:
If you really want the Exec instead of Dopod 900, do like what everyone do... Get someone in UK to get it for you or eBoy. I got mine from eBoy, yeah, had to pay premium, but with shipping it still costs less than the ugly looking Dopod.
O2 already confirmed that the Exec won't be launch in Singapore and the Universal been out for some time now, and still no news on seeo2.com, I highly doubt the Exec will be hitting Asia.
On the other hand, the manager at O2 HK service center told me personally that they will fix my Exec at a cost if I ever need service, but I'd imagine there's gonna be a long wait if I need any component replaced...
the price of the dopod in singapore is much higher than hk or anywhere else...i think htc is getting greedy....not letting o2 handle these markets, and charging a BIG premium for the devices.

for details
I think the distributor O2 devices in Indonesia,Malaysia,singapore,HK,Taiwan probably the same is the SiStech company
I've called the SiS company in Indonesia, and they said maybe they will launch the EXEC on January 2006. But they are not sure .
I hope many people in Indonesia didn't buy the dopod 900 so maybe they will release the EXEC in January 2006
dopod 900 is SUCKS eventhough the colour also SUCKS!!!
EXEC still the BEST
Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.
--
I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]
--
I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]
--
If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...
--
Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated...
In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.
you dont need to worry too much.
Eng and chi version are both available in market.
You can get one from any store.
Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.
Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.
Do u need any other information?
Maybe i can get you a hand.
Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference.
Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA

well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )

HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.

since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?
yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor
Just placed my order at expansys hk and they did not accept my credit card [maybe because I am from Manila, Philippines] anyway I would like to ask our Hong Kong brothers and sisters... is the Qtek 9100 available in retail outlets? i.e. Fortress or Wan Chai computer center etc? I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful

bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )
cheers :lol:
thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!
Not always the best place to buy from but Ebay!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/I-Mate-K-Jam-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
425.00 GBP = 5,662.81 HKD
And i know this one is 2nd hand. but always an option
Hi!
@bnycastro: My post has not to do with your problem at all. Did you have the chance to take a look at the dopod 838 "live"? I promise it looks much better than on any picture. I know this since vodafone is selling exactly the same unit here. I found the pictures awful. But as soon as I had my unit in hands I fell in love... So give it a try...
Greetings from Germany
plant
kjam availability
i am from the philippines too. i was able to buy a second hand kjam from greenhills... you should try looking around in that area... you might just find what you are looking for. good luck
how much did you get your unit for? I was hoping to get a brand new one and figured it might be cheaper in hkg. if i'm not to get a cheap one in hk i will probably get from gh as well... may i ask where you bought it? not in the 'tiangge' [bazaar] i hope?

Yep, friend of mine recently bought Dopod 838 Eng, ~$5800HKD. Interestingly they had to open THREE 838's before it worked. the first two failed to boot up.
Make sure you try before you buy!
Wizard
You can find QTEK 9100 at Shenzhen HuaQuangBei at RMB4800.
They already baked Chinese ROM but you can change it to English ROM
after you bought it.

Guys I know Orange have released this in France as the SPV M700, any news on whether or not T-mobile will release this as well?
And when can we expect Orange to release this in the UK?
Thanks.
HTC P3600
perhaps,
i saw , here in the Netherlands that it is sold by the mediamarkt
Thanks for your reply,
MediaMarket? Is that a phone company like T-mobile?
I was just speaking to a mate of mine and he tells me he read somewhere that only Orange have the exclusive rights to the Trinity!
But then again I've also read here that Vodafone in Germany have already added it to their catalogue.
Maybe we'll find out soon.

Seriously?
Are they selling it already?
Currently they seem to be very cheap in Sweden.
I got a offer for 540 EUR and 480 EUR , both from Sweden.
www.blocket.se search there, seen alot X1s for a nice price
It does not look like a GSM website at all.
I got this offer from a Direct Dealer in Sweden.
Do all the Xperia's sold in Sweden have swedish roms, or is there WWE versions available as well? Where did you ferraripassion get those offers, could you pm the vendors to me? Thanks.
Sure , do you know SMA?
ebay,of course
X1 on Ebay is currently very expensive.
400-500 GBP.
Whereas in Sweden its only 480 EUR.
Also it's risky to buy used phones on Ebay as you don;t know the history behind it. So many people have had issues with Blocked/Barred phones.
It will not matter if you are in another country.
Hi guys I have a friend from Africa he travels to dubai every so often and he was trying to get a hold of the x compact but he couldn't find any stores holding them.
He is in deira at the moment and he really wants the x compact if any of you know any stores around there which may be stocking the Xperia x compact please lemme know
He is also travelling to India aswell so if it is available anywhere in India too lemme know.
Thank you
better buy it from Amazon or other online markets...
Its not available on amazon.in
