Where did you guys get your HD2? - HD2 General

Hey, I'm so very close to buying a HD2. I have a total of NO idea where to buy from and what sites to trust. I've looked around some, and found the Leo going from 599-750. Another thing is a warranty. I've heard the phone has no warranty usually, but I don't know if I would need one. Any hardware faults or common bugs that would require a warranty to fix? Would love to get it a cheap as possible, but no idea if I need a warranty.
Thanks for any help!

Do you think this would be a good place? has a warranty option too.

do you have the link?

You could always use Expansys since they have a warehouse in America.

strange on went to upgrade on thursday and as vodafone stopped hd2 for non buisness users i was forced to go to phones4u, but as i arrived at the store at 10 am there was a notice on door that they would not be open for another hour due to staff shortages, so i though i would chance it at the vodafone store next door and see if i could persuade them 2 let me upgrade 2 the hd2 and it turns out they received 1 unit of the hd2 that morning and were willing to upgrade me. had a bit of a fight on my hans though as i was told i could't yet i had another month and a bit to go, i assured them i could upgrade from the 22 feb and was told they changed their policy a few days before from 90 days 2 50 days before contract ends, cut a long story short, told them it wasn't my problem and i had't been informed of these changes, anyway all history as i have my hd2.

Since your profile indicates you have AT&T, why don't you order the Australian HD2 - T9193? You'll get 3G.

I got mine from CleverKit. Great service and I was able to pay over Paypal and get some miles on my amex as most UK sites still don't accept it.

Hi,
I bought mine from handtec,
if you look at the HD2 wiki, there is a list of vendors used by xda forum users.

I am probably one of the lucky ones who brought mine (was T-Mobile but unlocked) privately but with the warranty transferred for the nice price of £350 and it was new and boxed. I guess with the £130 I got back from recycling my 14 month old Touch HD with its 6 months half line rental cashback, it feels pretty cheap to me

I would love to, and thanks for the suggestion, but the ones I can find are all >900, which is a little expensive for me.
Thanks for all the help guys, but still havent found a good place to buy.

(didnt get the exact link, but to the main page, on IPhone, sorry)
it goes for 610 USD.

you paid $915.50 because of 3G????????????
I'm sorry, but this is craziness !!!!!!

Well I wanted 3G for AT&T here in the states so I got the Testra version from Australia. I purchased it off of ebay from a reputable seller. If you dont care about 3G in the USA then you can get it off Newegg.com if you want! I paid a total of $798. A little more than I could have got the regular version for but if I am spending $700 for edge then I am going to pay the extra $100 for 3g capabilities. Totally worth it!

To answer a few questions in 1 shot.
I purchased the device from David who owns :http://www.dweiniger.com
i paid a total of:Total:$1,175.76
On 05/17/2007
I have used the phone a total of 10 times.Tried the GPS navigation.The phone has no call time on it whatsoever.I also purchased a LG i style blue tooth for this device that i might include with the device.Which i used for about a week for another mobile.I also purchased the 3 in 1 connector for the phone.
I will ship it for $1,000.00 to the United States and if you live in another Country $1,000.00 for the device and then we can research for the cheapest shipping option for you..The phone is unlocked and has a 3 year warranty courtesy of HTC. I just don't use it.I thought i would but i have other gadgets that suit my needs more than this does.Don't get me wrong its a nice device but its too big to do what i do in my everyday life.If you are interested in this device please leave me a message here or email me @ [email protected] for a faster reply.
Regards

here is some unsolicited advice,
drop the price down to below the price of 7501, the only difference is the front camera..and frankly, at least in the US the camera is useless...
you still haven't replied to ques as to where in florida do you live
Meaning what exactly?Why would i not give the users of XDA first of the pick instead of going to ebay.I know i could get well over 1,200.00 on eBay as i have noted the sales,BUT im not out to price gouge anyone.Just want someone else whom does not have the same money to be able to own this merchandise
I have responded to where i live in Florida via email.I am in North Florida.As far as the X7501.You will not be able to purchase the device with shipping for $950.00(next day shipping) so your theory about the price being lower is not suffice to the subject @ hand.As previously stated.The device was used the first 4 days that i purchased it and has been in my desk drawer every since then.There is NO CALL TIME on this phone.Its just like you ordering a phone that has been sitting on a shelf for months at a time.
HTC Advantage X7501padRegular Price: $1,299.99padSale Price: $1,279.95
And the cheapest that they are selling for is 999.00 excluding shipping.

Best place to get it for US residents?

Hey all,
so for those of in the US what is the best place to get it? Are there any shops that sell it already, or is it only out in Europe?
And if so, which is the cheapest but still reliable website to order it from?
Thanks.
I think im ready
Im also looking to buy a Touch HD here in the USA. Ive seen a few sites but dont want to get ripped off. Also I'm goint to to sell my USA 3g diamond if anyone is looking.
i got mine from clove technologies for $760 shipped. That was even shipped via DHL 2 day service. Works great. love this device!!!
Expansys USA apparently now has stock. I think the price is $799US.
I ordered from Clove as well. I've used them in the past and they are top notch. Even with 2 day shipping it was cheaper than ordering from Expansys USA without shipping.

Yes, it was ordered Friday morning and I have a fedex tracking number. I should have it on Wednesday. It was delayed a day for their validation process for international orders. I had a different credit card and shipping address from my previous orders so it was delayed for verification.
I am on ATT and everything else has worked fine with past touch devices. Getting to the medianet homepage can sometimes be an issue, but I never use it anyway so it's not a loss for me. Other than that everything works fine.

You man slow Edge speeds? The Touch HD doesn't have US 3G.
yes i know of a store in new york city, i spoke to them on the phone two weeks ago they told me they will be selling it as soon as touch hd will be released by any European carrier, witch already has happened.
the price they told me is $800.00 they also have a website, but i dont know what is it, but u guys can give them a call 212-964-4444
but be ware, NYC especially Manhattan has a lot of cell phone stores whitch sell bootleg versions. most of the tourists dont know and just buy
but anyways anybody who checks it out keep me updated, i would like to know if anybody buys it from them, cause i wanna get one also in a few months.
guys how slow will the internet be on it with out 3g? is it still worth it?

I just tested the Edge speed (w/ 4 bars) on my iPhone 2G and got 154kbps. I'd imagine that the HD would be similar.
In case anyone is interested, Clove UK seems to have brought down their price to $693. I'm probably going to go with that deal...

it will be slower than 3G no doubt, but it's an acceptable trade off for me (now). i may change my mind once i get the device.
however, thanks to the University of Iowa defeating Penn State (in football) this past weekend (and the corresponding return on my wager/investment) the lack of 3G is of less concern. in other words, the windfall from that game (and the "windfall's" capacity to finance 100% of the HD cost) makes it easier for me to rationalize that lack of 3G. i can cave into my insatiable desire to have a big a** WinMo VGA screen device, a.k.a, Touch HD.

lol, earlier this year, the NY Giants winning the SuperBowl financed my Orbit 2 purchase. i'm usually good for 3 to 5 winning weekends during the 20 week season (sept to jan) and the timing of and "windfall" from this "win" couldn't be better. now i'll have to lay low until the BCS games and Superbowl so i don't give it all back, lol. windfalls such as mine make it easier to explain to wifey the quarterly appearance of a new device.
Hmm... so I checked out the touch pro/fuze today and wasn't really that impressed with the thickness. I'm given some thought to purchasing the HD from overseas, and so far from reading the forums I'm taking I won't get 3G speed (which I can live without) -
These are unlocked, so I just drop my sim card in? I have AT&T MediaMax bundle that I used with my 3125, I'm trying to avoid my plan being bumped up to their more expensive PDA plans...

Touch HD finally at O2 Germany

They have just added it as HTC Touch HD and not some O2 XDA:
http://www.o2online.de
I can not choose it without contract.
It is the best price in town (569€) .
As far as I know it should be the same piece as in the non carriers offers.
damn! I just wanted to buy it along with a contract-Verlängerung, but the online shop tells me it´s sold out!!
Hamudi2000 said:

fun. But I suppose you have to go to an O2 shop to buy it . I don't think it is more expensive there.
I think it was kind of a temporary thing. I just ordered my Touch HD along the contract-Verängerung Can´t wait until it finally arrives !!
ps:
I´m very happy that this time it is not O2 branded and it even seems it gets the original black Manila Interface
A few weeks ago the HD was advertized by O2 as "exclusive in Germany only via O2 for the first 4 weeks".
Now they are the last in business. What a shame!
I ordered my HD ~ two weeks ago in an O2-Shop with a contract-extension (??).
Yesterday they said they are "expecting the devices each day". Like two weeks ago.
Anyway. I just want my HD!!!! NOW!!!!!!!
I just wanted to order mine via the online shop but I also only get the sold out message. Did anyone ask O2 when they will be available again in the online shop? Is it possible to order it in a "real" O2 shop with extension of contract although I have an online contract?
EDIT: I just reloaded the page in the online shop and it seems that they're available again. Thanks to anyone might have replied ;-)
I extended my former online-contract in the shop.
So YES it it possible.
But you would not get any online-conditions like 15% off bill or 150 free-sms.
But as a student you get 250 free-sms likle online. But no choice for 20%.
wow, I didn´t expect mine to come before next week as I was reading it´ll be shipped from Nov 24th, but I ordered mine online Wednesday, and it has already been shipped, according to DHL tracking it´ll arrive here today !!! .D

I can't wait any longer!!! WAAAHHHH!!!

But good to hear.
sim lock or no sim lock? that is the question
Does anyone knows whether the prepaid O2 touch hd has got a sim lock? If not, I would advise you to buy it at O2 for 570€ and to put a blau.de sim in it.
It´s cheaper than O2: 9 cent per sms and call + 1Gbyte data flat (10€)

Wrong! No other operator has it, just some free traders. exactly as announced by HTC&o2 in their common press statement
Hi, just wanted to ask if it's possible to buy it from O2 with an OS in English, because it's for a person who doesn't speak any German. Or is there another way around that problem?

No... You can buy it at mediamarkt with a contract of T-mobile for 300€
MediaMarkt without contract 719,- Euro
Cyberport 609,- minus 25,- discout-coupon (via google-search) makes 584,- Euro
Thats OK for a free HD
Does anyone already got an HD in an O2-Shop?
I am still waiting for mine.
still waiting too!
ordered my HD on monday and they told me its in stock, maybe 3-5 days for delivery. one hour later i was on o2online.de again and it was no longer in stock so i called again and they told me i have to wait 2 weeks!!!!

Oh great. I ordered on Monday, too and was told it would arrive at the end of this week...

I don't know yet.
I renewd ("verlängert") my contract at 6th Nov. (20 days ago!!!!!)
I told them I want an Touch HD, but they didn't know the price at that moment.
But the would reserve an device for me and contact me.
And if the price would be too much I could say I want another phone.
Actually I knew the price would be ~300 € with my conctract.
Besides there is no "too much" for this great phone, I think.

^^^^ Agreed. $400 plus shipping is the MOST I would pay for it IF it was in mint condition with not a single scratch on it i.e would pass for new with original box and accessories. Anything more than that would be highway robbery.

I'm willing to let mine go for 400! No scratches on the screen, a few nicks on the case though. Never had the dust under the screen problem. I could even be talked down lower if persuaded, I just really want 3G!
see I don't care to much if I have 3g but I want it, and I could still get $500 with shipping on ebay. eh what eva

I bought my phone from Google back in January and there is dust under the screen. I am pretty sure I can get the phone exchanged under warranty. But my question is, will HTC Canada let me exchange it for the one with the 850 band?

Warranty it and then sell it...
Brand New Google Nexus One SIM Unlocked (not tied to any carrier).
Seems obvious, yeah...but you have no idea how many people don't know that they all come this way. People want convenience.
You can even put in the description...
"if you want, I can unlock the bootloader and root the device prior to shipping"
I sold a friend's G1 on ebay "unlocked and rooted" for almost 600 dollars.
That's a good idea. Well it's not like I am trying to scam Google. There are really 4 specks of dust under the screen and I am pretty sure there are more coming. It will just be more convenient if they just send me a replacement with the 850 band. Is there a support number in Canada that I can call? I actually bought the phone in Hong Kong during my visit there in January. I can get HTC ship it to Canada now since it's officially sold in Canada, right?
If anyone is feeling a little desperate, I will buy your T-Mobile version right now for $300 shipped. I know it's low but the upside is that you'll get the money asap and have a AT&T Nexus One in hand by the end of this week if you're quick about it.

I don't think it's being shipped from Canada. I'm pretty sure it's being shipped in from the states, otherwise they wouldn't use DHL International shipping.
Just ordered mine! Looks like the wife gets my old ancient N1 tomorrow.
Well my Tilt 2 will go on ebay to make up for the 529 + Tax that I just shelled out to get the ATT 3G version that went live today.
Can't wait to play around with it when it gets here.
PS: overnight shipping is thrown in for free from the google site.

So instead of repairing it, I can ask for an exchange even though it's been almost 2 months since I got the phone?

UK availability

I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?
I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?
are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...
King of Gadgets is now showing a due date of July rather than week beginning 28th March. Oh well...

Have just read somewhere that Motorola are showing Atrix docks in stock from early April though, so maybe all is not yet lost

I ordered from simply electronics but then I read the reviews on the company by using my old friend google. Cancelled the order...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets
Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested
I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.
Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

Monkey see, monkey do.
What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.
Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.
