After having problems with my Play.com account (which is now closed by me)
I preordered another HTC HD 2 off HandTec, with the pouch (the strong leather one). Cannot wait for it to come, but seeing over £500 leave my bank account is quite distressing. Lets just hope its worth it

HTC - buying off eBay

Anyone had any experience of buying a phone off eBay? I bought mine second hand for £331 the other day and it was as advertised. I did a hard reset so I could start again and it works really well. Maybe I was just lucky!!!!
I got it for 280L via ebay.. new as described (unwanted upgrade).. had to unlock it and viola works perfectly ( for 3 months now )
Yep I bought an HD off eBay and it was as described. In fact the seller had mentioned two small scratches which I still haven't managed to find!! The phone had also already been flashed with one of Dutty's ROMS so was ready to go!

havent bought an hd off ebay but i am buying a lot of stuff from there (included a couple of phones), i must say that in the last 2-3 years the quality of the items and the precision of the sellers is getting more and more professional. I would definately recommend a search on ebay for a phone or whatever else, provided you ACCURATELY read, read, READ the description and everything
A long as you find the seller legitimate and able to read the description clearly, you shouldn't find it hard. Just try contacting the seller always before deciding to bid. If the price is listed ridiculously low, make sure you insist him why it is priced low. Most importantly, ask him twice if it's the original HTC phone or the chinese clones spread over AliBaba!
I've bought the following PDA phones off eBay
XDA IIs (2006)
XDA Exec (2006)
XDA Orbit (2007)
XDA Orbit 2 (2008)
HTC Diamond (2008)
HTC HD (2009)
I've had no problems at all, but only because I was careful with checking out the seller first. I use a website called www.goofbay.com to check what the seller has bought, sold and selling and to filter his feedback so I can see all the neutrals and negatives.
Most of the time though you cannot be too careful; the XDA Orbit 2 was a pain when I bought it. The seller didn't respond for about a week, had to keep calling him, he was never in, only spoke to members of his family. Then after a while he sent me an email saying he was a way and will post the phone as soon as possible. A few days later I receive a Xda Orbit One (Artemis), not the newer XDA Orbit Two (Polaris/Touch Cruise) and I had to post it back to him for a refund. But luckily the seller was a decent bloke who really made a mistake so he offered to refund everything, including return postage and postage he paid to send phone to me. He was really apologetic and to be honest he probably would have ended up paying compensation if I asked for it lol (but im not cruel )
In the end he made a bank transfer of the total refund and he kept in touch the whole time via text messaging (lol).
After awhile I bought another XDA Orbit 2 of eBay and when it came (it was fine this time!), I really despised the phone. Slow, buggy, chunky, touchflo sucks, typing is also slow, just in general it was a crappy phone that was expensive. In my opinion - the XDA II, XDA IIs and XDA Exec were very fast. Only after getting the XDA Orbit onwards did I start to notice the higher spec phones getting slower!
Best phone I own is the Touch HD (of course ) but it wasn't as fast as my Diamond.
I am probably going to end up buying the Toshiba TG01 PDA - Windows Mobile and a 1Ghz processor! Best of all a bigger screen than the touch HD lol. Should be interesting when it comes out
Oh and by the way anyone thinking of selling on eBay, if you know someone who has lots of feedback and experience in selling let them do it for you instead of opening a new account; If you sell it yourself with a weak account, you will get less bids, more scammers, and more people who buy legitimately with the intent of doing a chargeback a couple of months after buying the PDA from you!
Been buying and selling phones and other on eBay for years and rarely been let down. Just remember to DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST!!
Always ask lots of questions and check the sellers feedback!!
Goodluck
I bought my HD off ebay and I got a new phone at a resonable price. Just look at description of what you are buying and make sure the seller has a good review.
ebay is the place to get your best price...just verify seller etc.
got my HD off ebay for about $370 from Europe (idividual seller)...

Got my HD2 today, but no pouch?!

Hi All,
when i bought my HTC HD last year, i got a wonderful pouch with it. Unfortunately with the HD2 i didnt. Do HTC do a pouch for the HTC HD2?
If so, where can i buy one from? it needs to be the same material as the one that comes in the box for htc hd.
thanks in advance

The official HD2 one is muuuuuch nicer than the HD one - it's leather (ish).
Some providers aren't supplying the pouches (for some unfathomable reason), so you're left getting yourself one. If you want one like the HD pouch, then you'd have to buy it anyway. There's a "cases" thread in the Leo accessories forum. Just have a look in there - it's full of suggestions.
Incidentally, who did you get it from?

You can buy the pouch from Clove:

I've seen a number of online retailers selling it so just search for the code S510.
I don't use mine, you can buy it (brand new and unused) for £6 including p&p within the UK. Paypal etc fine.

please check PM
i got mine from TMobile.
Odd, I got mine from TMobile UK too and they didn't give me a pouch. When I spoke to HTC Tech Support (about a different matter) they said it was TMobile's request that their HD2's came without pouches. Tight fisted...

why on earth they want to do that? that's sad for their customers !

[Q] Is this price possible?

I am really big fan of HTC HD2, but I still get tired with my old Omnia i900. Yesterday searching the Internet I found HD2 in very strange price - 567 PLN (about 185 USD). And my question is: should I try and buy this one or look for any more expensive? Should I trust this seller?
As device is 4yrs old that price is possible for old stock, I buy them around 90USD for 100% working clean examples with void stickers still present ...
Hm... I forgot to write it's completely new. So it is really, really strange.
I can buy new old stock for about same here in Thailand, seems about right to me. At HD2s age you get no HTC warranty & it is old hat hardware by today's standard, they need clear them & HD2 demand is not so high these days so prices have fallen.
So do you think I should buy this one?
No idea as not seen the retailers details, if has some form of buyer protection & return policy then might be worth it as buying used HD2's is only good if can be hands on with device prior to purchase as eBay etc are full of the sh1te used devices.
I sure would not want spend more on a new old stock 4yr old handset with known digitiser & bga failings.

I am not recommended you to buy this. Because i think it also old. You did not get same version from old version...
You'll try to buy an used item on ebay.. it's an old funny phone.. but I bought a Nexus 4 for that price!
great post

i am wondering anybody is still using this device today
I have still 2 HTC HD2 at home.
At the one the screen is broken and in the other the mainboard seems to have a problem.
Actually i wanted to join them. But since i have a Moto G, the HD2 is nearly completly out of my Head.
But i had really nice 4 years with this device.
Do you really want to spend this much money on such a old device?
I don't know. I would really recommend you not to do that.
If you are a dev, then it is maybe ok, but as a simple user...?
I think the times are nearly over or not? But if your money is falling out of your pocket
As i said did not follow HD2 since 5 months. I would reccomend you to buy a Brand new Moto G.
Google converted middel class Hardware phones to low class price phones. Excellent!
looks like a used phone to me.
