Does anyone know where you can buy the Shift for immediate delivery in the UK or do you have the details of any overseas supplier that is reliable. I have the money to purchase one but cannot find a supplier at the moment.
I got mine from chicago, they import from europe. Onthegosolutions i called them to verify stock, bought online, called again to verify i would recieve the next day and wala, it was in my hands. They were very helpful.

your in uk (from our view, i know not yours) your in europe and will contact usa store that imports from europe so you can export it back to europe.

Has anyone already got a German Shift (QWERTZ keyboard) and if so how and where did you get it?
Amazon.de just mailed that "the item is very hard do get. Do you want to cancel your order?"

Hi Einsiedler,
I ordered with Amazon on 2nd December now the site says availability 9. April and in my account the date has been 8. April for weeks now.
I guess we have to wait a little longer. Today there was an offer on Ebay without specifications of the keyboard layout. I asked for it and a little bit later the offer was taken off by Ebay I guess.
And I got an email by Ebay in which they said that a doubtful email was sent to me by the the person I asked for the keyboard specifications.
We must swallow the truth that there ain't any Shifts around in Germany. Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid.

Und ich teile
same for me: No qwertz-Shift. Also no pictures yet. Mid April?
My Amazon order has NO date at moment.
By now HTC is well-known for its strange (i.e. non-existent) information policy. But their distributors seem to kid their clients in the same way. My amazon-order already has been postponed a few times after giving me fix dates for delivery. Today I got the same mail as EinSiedler telling me that at the moment they don't know nothing about a forthcoming delivery. At the same time however Amazon changed the availability status of the Shift from "bestellbar" (order now) to "lieferbar ab dem 9. April" (available 9th of april). What is the name of the game they're playing with us?
amazon.de will deliver mine on the 11th of April.
Maybe I order the normal English version and use tipp-ex on the keyboard.....
Received the same Email this morning - one day after postponing the delivery date to infinity. Quite chaotic.
But hopefully they are right - this time.
BTW: I assume it's the quertz-version. Anyway: Better we learn blind-typing instead of messing around with Tipp-ex.
Date shifting
Hi,
no, I don't think that it is Amazon. I guess it is the information policy of HTC, but it is another question how the distributors handle their cluelessness. Worst of all is Expansys. For months they have been giving out exact dates olny to put them back when the time arrives.
At the moment is says: Verfügbarkeit (availability): ca. 1 Tag. Just for the fun of it have a look what will happen today or tomorrow. What they do is downright disgusting.
I ordered the Shift with Amazon on 2nd December 2007. For weeks now the date in my account is 8th of April. On their site it is 9th of April, supposing that I am lucky I might get it on 11th of April.

Shifting availability
Hi,
from Amazon I just got this email:
Wir liefern vorbestellte Artikel so aus, dass Sie sie am
09.04.2008 in Empfang nehmen sollten. Wobei wir die übliche
Transportzeit hier miteinkalkulieren und Ihre Sendung entsprechend
rechtzeitig losschicken.
So, if lucky I'll get it on the 9th next month, but who can trust the month of April funniest of all the months starting with the first.

For the Krauts here in the forum:
Shift qwertz ist available from Monday. Some dealers report they got a tracking number from DHL today, so Monday it should be in stock!
Hi,
I live in Australia and noticed on expansys AU that the Shift is on there twice, one as HTC Shift http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=157607 and the other as HTC Shift X9500 http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=165677
All of the specs seem the same except the X9500 has a 40GB hard drive instead of a 30GB and the X9500 is heaps cheaper........
The other thing is Hong Kong sells the X9500 $650 cheaper than the Australian HTC Shift but the language is (Traditional Chinese), what does this mean...... is the operating system chinese only or is the keyboard and everything Chinese??
Does anyone know what is going on here???
Thanks

First link is not good, remove the "and" from the link and it's working again
As I can see only the HD is different yes.
I think the Chinese version has another keyboard layout. Maybe also the WM is Chinese and maybe also Vista, but can't tell you this..

Sorry I fixed the first link it had "and" stuck at the end of the address.....
OK, I have found the X9500 in English so the Chinese is no problem now, The HTC Shift in Australia is$2194.95AU and the HTC Shift X9500 in Hong kong with 10GB more is $1511.13AU Thats $683.00 AU difference....... Thats a massive difference for the same device and if you pay less, you get a bigger harddrive...... Something is really strange here.
For that massive saving I am willing to send it back to Hong Kong for Warranty if something goes wrong.
Ok This topic is to list all countries where the Legend is already available or if somebody knows any ''programmed'' launch dates in other ones.
Also Why in the Asians and ME HTC websites the Legend is not listed at all?
Would this mean it will be late or not sold there??
Europe:
Netherlands: Available
Belgium: Available
UK and rest of Europe: 22-24 March
Asia:
Do you know any dates or price??
Middle East:
Do you know any dates or price??
From experience, I've learned to not be concerned when an upcoming device is not listed on my region's HTC site.
No word about availability here in Hong Kong. But if it's anything like the release of the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, they'll list the device on the site 2 days before it's available for sale at retail stores. This happened about a month after it's available over in Europe.
Btw, if you still feel bad that new devices aren't listed on your region's site yet, you should check out the products section of the Korean region of HTC's site. That's a sad selection there...
Poor Korea
The Hero is not listed in HTC ME website while it's available since October
So if I understand logically the Legend will not be available in Asian countries before ending April knowing it will be in Europe ending March
If only the Lebanese customs don't take 20% TAX on DHL and UPS I would have buy it from Belgium online
Legend is Available in Czech Republic.
The Legend is available in France now via expansys.fr
Norway today
I'm not sure how, but expansys.ie is saying that Legend is in stock:
http://www.expansys.ie/d.aspx?i=195942
I've checked in the morning and they had 100, now they have 39.
This is very strange, as Legend is available in UK on 29th of March
Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.
Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.
importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!
I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK
I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?
So my parents are at Berlin, Germany right now.
I was promised to get the One when it gets to my country (Israel) and I have read in another thread that the One has been available in Germany for a week. So anyone knows where can my parents buy the One in Berlin? I can't wait anymore :crying:
Nowhere.
O2 was the First carrier which had the One available in Berlin. Due to very limited Shop supply (2-3 devices per Shop) i had mine delivered. Would try there nevertheless.
