Let´s see in which country we find the best price for Touch Pro 2 without a contract and launch date
Let´s try to not repeat countries and keep the following format
I´ll start
MEXICO
Price $1,354.78 US Dollar
Launch date June 15 (But I doubt it)

So expensive here!!
Hi all,
I'm a long time member here, but never posted much (going to change that) (EDIT: ok actually, not so long member, only 2 years ^^, but felt like long member)
In the Netherlands (I'm Dutch myself) I found an online store (with a good name/record) that sells the touchpro2 for 450 (includes delivery costs).
I'm sure it must be a mistake. It's probably the price they had to pay for, or switched the number 5 for a 4.
I already payed, and I should get it as soon as it's available.
I''ve got one question,
The transaction is done, so it's a lawful agreement. I've paid the money, and got a email that the transaction is complete en I will get the device as soon as it's available.
The site states (ofcourse), that they can't be held responsible for misspelled, misplaced language/words.
I'm not an expert, but maybe some Dutch member knows, if in this case, they still can notify me to pay extra? I thought not.. But I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for the help
My regards,
Quar

Thats not too terrible. Wonder when they will get it in stock for the US.
In other threads some mention July 22
Handtec.co.uk will have you out of £512 for one (if you include cost of shipping)
clove don't do free shipping either so Handtec beats.
Anybody know why?

As far as I know, the device is not released in Hong Kong yet. It's not even on HTC's HK website. And it's not in any of the major electronics retailers. Where have you found it in HK? I will go there at once to get one!
@pctan: e Kababayan wassup?
@ohyeahar: Well, it is on expansys.com.hk
@orbitalen: You right, I guess its just a late update on the local sites?

This is not officially a Hong Kong release. It is actually a UK version and will not be warranted by HK HTC.
That is why I have held back and wait for a bit. It should launch with in the next 2 weeks.

I agree. Still waiting for official release in HK. Besides, Expansys overcharges way too much. Eg. they charge 5425 HKD for Diamond2 while it's widely available in retail stores for 4880 HKD.

Yes, they do over charge now but at the time when it was launched they were only selling it at $4xxx.xx. The only reason I think the price has gone up is because of the exchange rate for GBP to HKD. I remember it because I was going to order it until I found that it was a UK version and not warranted by HK HTC.
BTW, CSL 1010 should have a better offer for the TP2 anyway. I will order it from them as soon as HTC announces a launch date in HK. They usually have a press conference with hot models (girls) showing off the phones.
I saw on ePrice.com.tw in Taiwan (sorry guys, the website is in Chinese), they have launched it over there, the first in Asia.
So HK will usually follow suit within a couple of weeks, just like the HTC Magic.
Just found out it launches in Hong Kong on Tuesday 9 June. Look here! I will call CSL to see if I can pre order it tomorrow.
Can't wait!
For those of you who are looking for this device in Hong Kong, it's officially released!
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/press.aspx?id=102024&lang=1033
(Seems HTC is not partnering up with CSL for this one...)
It mentions the suggested retail price of 5680 HKD.
I actually just ordered the device from Clove (http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=C64E151D-03FE-49D1-8412-C266A9D3D48B). With DHL shipping, it came to 464 Euro which is about 5000 HKD. (Expecting it in a week!)

Yes, I found out today. Shame, I was expecting to go with CSL, it is only with Smartone Voda Phone and PCCW.
I will give Smartone a visit tomorrow to see when they are getting it in stock.
Wow, that is really cheap! Thing is, it won't be warranted by HTC HK. Which I think is more important than $700 HKD.
just wondering when the htc desire is available in Scandinavia (norway,sweden,denmark)
Monday the 12th here in Denmark, and I think it's the same for Norway/Sweden
Mine has arrived today to Helsinki (Finland). Maybe I got it tomorrow. Bought from Expansys. Local dealers seem to have it in stock as well.
Not sure really, haven't found any online shop worth trusting in Denmark while keeping the price at a minimum.
Elgiganten.dk will have it around 22th april.
Preordered from Clove atm but going to cancel it if i'm able to find something here in Denmark.

it used to be 12th but now htc said 14
I ordered mine here in Sweden and the dates were 7-9th of april but two days ago many of the sites changed their date to 22th of april but they switched back today to 12th (majority of them show this date as their stock date)
>>this might call for a new topic but I'm just gonna post it here,,,some of the warranty plans that came with the phone (for about 500 SEK extra) were completely fraudulent,,,like they would say things like get a new phone if you break it within 1 year and "no questions asked",, but if you actually read the details of the contract (after clicking on the smallest possible icon to access it) they pretty much rule out any sort of condition that you might actually get anythign in return. just wanted to see if any1 else saw anything similar!

Is the HTC Desire available in HK. I will be there from 12-14th of April and Im really hoping to get it then. The legend is already available but no news about the Desire.
Not sure but try either the top floor (entry level) of Wan Chai Computer centre or the places around Sham Shui Po. If you have never bought electronics from HK, you need to be aware that there are two prices - one for HK stock (usually pricer) and the other for grey imports from China and Japan. Warranty coverage for the latter is done by the shop, so if you have a problem you will have to send it back to that shop. That being said, HTC probably wont provide warranty coverage outside of the country of purchase (according to one of the other threads).
Thanks for the advice. My iPhone was bought in Shenzhen so no worries about warranty. I have been coming to HK since last 7 years on business. Buying most of my gadgets there. I was only concerned regarding availability of the phone in HK as cant see it mentioned anywhere in any of the forums or Google.
I've checked out WanChai just last night actually and there's no sign of the Desire.
Good news is, because of the current favorable exchange rate with the GBP, you can just do what I do. Order overseas from Clove! I'm expecting mine to arrive in HK on Monday. And even with shipping, it's cheaper than it would be when it goes on sale in HK.
A friend was 4 days ago in HKG and he found it somewhere in Kowloon.
Sorry, i've no more details and no price tag...

I will try to the same as I will be in Hong Kong a couple of days after you.
I have bought HTC devices several times in Hong Kong and never had any problems.
The computer stores in Wan Chai and Mongkok are your best bet. Look around though do a bit of bargaining.
keep us inforned.

I cant order it to HK as I will be there only for 3 days and also cant order to India as then too expensive after paying import taxes. N1 is around 4500HKD in Mong Kok if Desire is same price or lower it will be ideal. I will look around Mong Kok and Sham Shui PO. Also Kowloon ( Thanks to Atomicman). If found and bought I will inform on this forum immediately.
I've been looking around for the Desire in HK too, so far nothing. Most of the shops either say they don't know the release date, or "maybe next week", which is the typical answer when they have no idea.
The latest from the HK forums (using google translate) is that HTC HK has said they're not sure of an exact date, maybe in June. The consensus is that they want to give the Legend (out March 31st) some time to sell before releasing the Desire. I'm sure grey imports from the UK will start to show up soon, but at a premium.
Not sure if it'll be cheaper than the Nexus One, since you can get an N1 directly from Google for less than $4500, so their price in Mongkok just includes a small mark-up. The Legend is $4180, down to $3980 in some places, so I reckon the Desire will be at least $6-800 more than that to set it apart.
Based on all that info, I also ordered from Clove today.
@ohyeahar: when did you order yours? Do you have a DHL tracking number for it already?

Ordered on March 8. Already shipping. Expecting it on Monday.
So slim to zero chance of getting a desire in HK before 14th April? So what do you suggest I do buy the Legend or N1? Please advise as Im quite eager to buy an android phone now. I will be able to change it only after 6 months so have to live with whichever phone I buy till then.
ohyeahar if you feel like selling your Desire let me know ;-)
@sickboy888
I got your PM and was trying to reply, but you've disabled receiving of PM's. You might want to look into that.
Finally bought the Nexus One as couldn't find the desire and cant with for an android phone any longer. I'm in HK till 15th Morning so if any one knows of a definite place where desire is available here do let me know. I don't mind buying that as well. Can always sell my N1 on Ebay in India.
I bought my HTC Desire (UK) version at a shop in Tsuen Wan. It mainly deals online shopping for customers from mainland china but they also sell phones there. I just got mine there yesterday. See if they have any stocks left and you can get one there. The contact information below:

Congrats! How much did you get it for?
$4380
Well to TBH you can buy it at Clove at a cheaper price...but what happens if your phone breaks down ? You won't be buying a round trip ticket to UK to just fix your phone... (Rmb the warranty for HTC UK is 2 years !!)
They include a one time FREE deliver service to UK center to repair the machine...and afterwards they charge you $200 only.
Just like ordinary HKers time is important...hehe

That's a good price actually. If you consider the price difference between the Legend and Desire in UK and that the Legend's retail price in HK is 4199, I'd expect the Desire to cost about 4389.
That is a good price considering the phone isn't available in the usual shops in HK.
Regarding the warranty, according to the spec on Clove the phone comes with a 2 year International warranty, so if anything goes wrong you should be able to get HTC HK to take care of it, right?
The situation with WP7 is embarrassing.
Here in Italy HTC is doing a bad impression. I ordered the HD7 eXpansys up two weeks ago and every day, every day I say, they change the date of delivery.
Even today the new availability date is December 4.
December 4?? But are they crazy?? How MS is hoping to succeed if they do not leave the phones?
I have a P3600, a TYTNII, a Diamond and HD2, but At this point I think my next phone will be a Nokia N8.
Frankly I feel cheated. And bored.
There are 10 different devices and tons of carriers.
I really don't see your logic of hating on the devices and WP7 just because you are being screwed by whoever you ordered it from.
You only have that company to blame for the shipping delays.
I walked in to a Best Buy here in the US on launch day and picked up a Surround.

Here in Italy on the launch day there was no WP7 phones in stores.
And every day all the stores change the availability day: said yesterday that it would be available on 29th november, and today the 4th of december. Two days ago they said it would be available in 4 days...ALL the stores, not one.
But, from my experience, this is the case of all new release highend smartphones. The Desire HD changed from incoming week 45 to "longer delivery time" in week 45, and my Omnia 7 have changed from week 44, to week 45 and they're saying week 46 right now.
Just be patient, hardware is obviously selling through and that is a good thing!
I can't wait....
yes, this situation is horrible.. i am in Slovakia, waiting for my Omnia 7!!!!!!!! No phones at all here, I checked online stores in Czech republic - the same...Its more than a month after official release.
Expansys USA has Unlocked Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 in stock and ready for shipment for 599 and 699 USD respectively..
Edit: They also have almost every other phone from WP7 Unlocked and ships within 3 days..
The irony is that although Europe had the first launch 2 weeks in advance it's still under US when it comes to availability. To get my HD7 I surfed 3 weeks like crazy on eBay to get a good deal (eventually made it) and when I asked all my country's carriers about WP7 they were like "What's up with that?!" so going-randomly-in-a-shop-to-pic-a-WP7 will happen mostly in late December/January.
Maybe some sort of "conspiracy" for the Early '11 update
This is the answer from HTC:
Recently you wrote about the release date of HD 6, but here we inform that the terminal should be in business, then I suggest you start to do the check with our resellers: http://www.htc.com/it/ where_to_buy.aspx
FIRST: I wrote about HD7, not HD6...what the hell is the HD6?
and SECOND: No! I checked all the on-line store (and in some cases I went in the store of my town) and the HD7 is not available....maybe I should ask the HD6?
HD7
Hi,
here in Czech Republic, you can buy only HTC Trophy...
Nobody has the clue when will other phones arrive
