Hi to all, I just want to share with you my odisey to know more about these device, to know when and where to buy this device.
I from Spain, I visit many web page and try to contac serious sellers and all told me we have no idea when and where. We have some bad news about the end of november or earlier december.
Could you please tell me where I can buy a white device???
Hope this post help others to make a easy way to but it.
Thanks a lot.

i've contacted expansys UK n they quoted me 595 euros including shipping to asia, u can try to contact them maybe? but i suggest u wait til it launches in your country as purchasing via the internet u have to take risk

I bouth several devices in Expansys, but always in Spain. By the way, the UK Expansys and Spain Expansys, hope are almost the same, so hope I can buy it at the end of these month.

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then

I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.
Regards
Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

btw here in italy cheapest price is 630 euros!
any of your portugal shop sell trinity with italian language?

selling for sgd1298 about euro650 over here in Singapore

The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.

German discounter are selling it at 505 to 515 euros, available shortly, - anybody that wants to pay more - enjoy it!

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...

I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.

>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!

Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.

Looking for x7510

I just find out that x7510 will not not going to sell in my country (Malaysia).
This is indeed a very bad news as I really wanted to buy this unit.
Can anyone recommend any good & trusted online shop which sell this unit (preferably the one that offer the unit with good price) and willing to send to Malaysia & also accept Paypal or Google Checkout.
Now I am looking at expansys UK but it is good to get a few more alternative for comparision purpose.
Thanks

I live in Australia and I got it from the uk @ www.clove.co.uk/ . They are good, ive got lots of stuff from them.

Thanks, Their price seem to be slightly cheaper than expansys. But how about packing. Do you received the items in good order?

Mine came from www.onthegosolutions.com based in Illinois, USA. I don't know how the price will seem to you, but I have nothing but good words for the service.

Theres no tax for you also, so you can exclude vat
packing yea was good. Water proof sealed bag with bubble wrapped around the x7510 box.
I suggest you buy if from the uk if you live in Malaysia since the Americans like to mod their phones for them to work in their country plus don't you use 240 voltage?

i got mine straight off UK online retailers

Yes in Malaysia, we are using 240V. Another plus point is that UK & Malaysia is using the same electrical plug.

Would you mind share which UK retailer?

there are many, 2 of which are trust worthy
expansys,
and
devicewire

Here is a list of OFFICIAL HTC RETAILERS in the UK (select UK): http://www.htc.com/europe/where_to_buy.aspx
As you can see CLOVE Technology is in there (that's where I bought mine delivered to the US via DHL)
DEVICEWIRE is in there too.
Stay away from EXPANSYS and ONTHEGOSOLUTIONS. Why? Because they are OVER PRICED. Their service is just as good as any of the listed from above. Nothing different.

Thanks for all suggestion. Now I am more keen to get it from clove.

I bought from Inkino.

However, in the end I did not buy X7510 but instead choose to purchase used Dopod U1000 from local owner at very good price I think. Its only £275 but with almost new condition with remaining 4 month warranty from HTC. I could not see any scratch whatsoever The previous owner seem like not using it at all. It comes with 2GB memory card, VGA out cable & car holder as well. I am a very happy of to own this unit.

Buying an Omnia 7

I noticed that on Expansys they have knocked the price of the Omnia 7 down to £349.99 and I was wondering if these are UK specific handsets or EU ones & if they are EU ones what effect if any would there would be in getting updates compared to the UK handset?

Expansys ships from all over EU, so they're generic EU (even in UK, afaik). UK handsets are branded by carriers, so more chances to get updates delayed if you buy a UK Omnia7. If you're considering buying one, try Germany, as there you can find the 16 GB model (not sure if on Expansys though).

Thanks for that. I know that ones that on the UK website are the 8GB model. But from what you're saying it might be worth a look on there German site just to see.

There are a couple of sellers on eBay Germany that you can check out, who supply 16gb versions and are cheaper than Expansys. Mine is 16gb, new, unlocked and unbranded, and arrived in about 3 days. I was given the tracking details so I was able to track my parcel across Europe. The mains adapter came with a 2-pin plug so you'll need to supply your own. When I first turned the phone on I was given an option to switch to English.
The best thing was that when I connected the phone up to Zune it immediately told me that there was an update available (the pre-update). The update was smooth and painless. As the device is unbranded future updates should be available straightaway as they don't need to be "approved" by a carrier first.

I have to confess the one thing I have avoided buying through eBay is expensive electronic items, but I will certainly look into following what you have said.

No need to buy from eBay, if you have bad experiences (I had a couple in hundreds of good purchases).
The price for Omnia 7 16GB on Amazon.de is 299E + cca 7E shipping.
Note: apparently this is still a seller, on Amazon, yesterday there were ones on sale from Amazon, I guess they run out

But Amazon.de don't ship to the UK (at least for that particular item), as I've just tried it. The eBay seller I used also has a shop that you can buy directly from: http://www.es-mobilfunk.de. The price is 289 Euros plus shipping. I went through eBay as I was able to benefit from Paypal buyer protection if needed.
See here for more info:
http://wmpoweruser.com/massive-price-drops-for-windows-phone-7-handsets-in-europe/

Thanks for those links.
I have to say I hadn't noticed price drops in the WP 7 handsets over here, just the Omnia 7.

I don't think the price-drops are as extreme as they're suggesting. I only noticed price drops for the Omnia 7, mainly because I wanted to buy one at the time. Its a good time to buy if you're interested in WP7

Had a look on those sites and I wish I read/spoke German as it would make things a lot easier!

I don't speak German either so I used Google Chrome to browse the links for the German sites (it will translate whole pages on the fly for you). I think Firefox will also work if you have the Google Translate add-in installed.

[Q] EU or UK Version?

Hi Guys,
After I have ordered an UK version from handtec. I have ordered another one today on the German ebay for 480 Euro including free postage....
So now I will have two next week....the decision is which version to keep and which to sell.
I have heard on the forums that EU ones are made in China and have screen problems?
Thanks

I have a EU model and I have never heard of this screen problem. Mine looks perfect.

Why would Samsung build the handsets at different locations for different regions? This does not make sense. Also why would there be quality issues just because its build elsewhere? As far as I know all Samsung handsets are build in China!

480 Euros is cheap! Wow... was it difficult ordering from ebay germany?
edit: you probably ordered via ebay Australia from a seller in germany right?

Ordered the Note from Amazon Germany which will be delivered to the UK in around two days time. Cost £481 including delivery, which is nicely below Clove's £602 or even handtec's £548. Ordered lots of items from Germany in the past. Don't think it's a real issue these days. It's as cheap to send things to somewhere in the EU as it is to somewhere else in the UK.

A lot of the cheaper price ones on German ebay are the ones bought from Saturn...must be people who went out for that CHEAP deal

Got mine from Ebay Ecell £380, they got it to me with-in 2 days even though they say 6-10 days.
I think it is the HK version, However it started up in english and I have no trouble on the Android market etc.
This is a very good Tab.

I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable. Got mine there, paid by Paypal and then I got tracking information soon. Ordered it on 06/01 and it was in London 11/01. They pay all duty and import taxes for you.

Payed through paypal. They also have both wifi only and 3g versions available.

waiting for them to ship it!
they say they wait for money to clear on their bank account, but i suspect they are just getting it somewhere else in the world and shipping them

Hey guys - United States person looking to import here - the English that is on it, is it UK version or NA version (or is selectable between both?)
It might be a stupid question but I'd love to import it instead of waiting for Verizon to get it in a years time...

Hi - Do you still have he SGT 7.7 for sale?
If so is it the 3G version? How much is it and where are you based.

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?

Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

I really had no idea about that...
Almost a deal breaker for me, I was hoping to use the 7.7 as a remote as well :-(
