I would stay away from this site until someone confirms a successful transaction. The domain name was registered in Feb this year which is very recent!
Their domain name registration details are different to their contact details on the website.
Website contact = Florida

damn those scammers! trying to scam me on ebay and have me send a g1 to nigeria..jerks
nice thinking man i was going to let the price get the best of me but you saved me..thank you

Scam for sure be carefull

lol and they use a yahoo account

http://largesseworld.com has the same offer, selling Touch Pro2's for $500. I emailed the contact asking if this was a typo or if they had them, and got a reply from Mr. Tim Cuhls
that read:
Yes we have it in stock and ready to be shipped.
Shipping is Overnight.
Send me your delivery address.
Who asks for a delivery address like that? After a bit of research I found out that TP2 release date is 6/1. I replied, asking about that, and was told:
We have them directly from HTC.
I'm thinking definitely a scam. The pictures I've seen of others selling them actually make me think of cheap Chinese knockoffs, too.

only prototype devices are out, and given to some telco ppl, no actual production devices are in the market yet...
pleas be careful of scam....

At least the guy is consistent- here is the reply I received:
Hi,
Yes we have it available.
Yes it is the international version of the phone.
Yes it is 100% unlocked.
How many pieces do you require and where will you be shipping to?
Regards,
Tim Cuhls
- I should have known that XDA would have something on this one.

Thanks.

I honestly don't think there is a way to but a touch pro 2 before they actually start making them lol I am sure there are a few but they aren't actually producing them in masses and the few that do exist aren't for sale, or at least I am pretty sure about all that

Tell them to just forward a handset serial number confirmation prior to shipping so you can validate authenticity with HTC....
I'll bet you get a tumbleweed to blow across your desk before you get a response.

SCAM!!!!!
It is definitely a small scale scam, they are using a 30 day trial from a company who helps you build an on-line store, They do not have any products and will take your money.

man.... if it's too good to be true.......

All Scams!
Trust me, ive been looking. Tired of buying wack att branded phones so this time gonna just not be a cheap ass and but an unlocked htc original tp2. I mean even when its branded its gonna be an easy $300 with 2yr contract. Might as well pay a few bills more for the unbranded. Ive seen them now online as low as $300! For sure scams! Id wait til end of this year to buy one when they are in full circulation.

It would be funny to ask one of them why they are selling them so cheap if they actuallly could sel;l them for like 2-3 times more because they arent out yet and see what they say.
what would be even funnier to ask is how they are sellling them when HTC hasn't started making them yet lol they only made a few models for tests ext. but they actually haven't made any to be sold yet.

According to this http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/unlocked-htc-touch-pro2-to-retail-for-880-touch-diamond2-for/ HTC has set the price for the TP2 at $880.

Unbranded TP2 planned for 659,99€ (860$) in france. The status is unavailable now...

[Q] About to buy Epic Touch online, is this store legit?

Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Ditto. 10 chars

Yep.
On the bottom, their "certifications" stickers are not clickable to verify, which they should be. And their one "Verify" button points to some Chinese website.
Fake. Not a Doubt

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.

Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

Bogus! Like posted above the "verifed " icons should be clickable and lead you to said website verifying the website. Those icons either do nothing or lead to china crap!

i just might buy one!
if you do decide to buy one from here, use paypal. your protected. if you dont get your order you file a claim and if its bogus, paypal will investigate and refund you your purchase amount.
this is why i buy crap on ebay from china sellers. if its a fake phone you get, you also get a refund because they are advertising it as legit. take a screen shot of the page before you buy.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.

Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!
Once you pay via western union then you can use paypal, LOL that is a good one!!!

The thing is, they told me I can't use PayPal until after being a return customer, with that being said, they want me to send a Western Union payment to a Zhen Zhang?
I just don't trust it...

Oh, and the reason you don't see bad reviews is they will burn that site out in a week, change a few pics and make a new site. They post on craigslist all the time, same crap!

damn! that certainly makes it an inconvenience. paypal was the clincher for me. if you do buy it, let us know how it works out. i can wait. i might wait to buy one until cm7 is available for it.

the sketchy part is the western union. i mean, the whole site is sketchy, but paypal is safe. if you have to do western union first then i wouldnt do it. you might be able to check with paypal to see if they have any complaints against the site.

well, just for kicks i tried to follow through with a purchase. when i chose to check out with paypal it took me back to a list of their payment methods.

this is the email i got from them when i tried to place the order via paypal.

there is a guy on craigslist selling this phone new in box for 350. i might pick it up tuesday if i feel like it. who knows, maybe he purchased some from this company and is making a profit. as long as the esn is clear im happy.

Is there a vendor of accessories in this forum?

I want to buy a headset Livesound MH1, has only in Europe (I'm from Brazil), i have asked to a number of ebay sellers and no one sends to Brazil by FedEx or DHL. Only Standart Flat. Standart is bad. It takes too long, especially in Brazil.
I want to buy but need to be sent quickly, so if it could be by FedEx or DHL, or other mode of fast delivery.
Here in Brazil, at the end of the year, the increase in imports causes problems and delays to receive normal orders.
If you know someone of this forum that sells accessories or direct me for a site where I can buy Livesound MH1, by paypal, thank you.
Ebay sellers (ebay.co.uk) only send Standart...
Thanks !

Hi, I am not a seller, but I have two sets of MH1, both are black, one is tottaly new.. And I could sell new one, cos I want to buy white one for my wife. So if you are interest, write me: [email protected] and we could deal

Free headphones & car charger for premier users

I was looking for the lapdock deal but not available. However there is a $25 discount for online orders. There are some IFrogz headphones and a car charger listed at $0. I placed an order for a set of headphones, and sure enough the order totaled FREE. Yep, free is for me.

It is a site for corporate and government users. Your employer has to be a "member". Requires verification.

Ok thanks for explaining that.

if your current military can you get into it or is it only official govt jobs

Don't know the answer to that. Guess you would go to the place where mil. discounts are listed. There is a site set up with company name ending the url. I would think it would be something similar for ya'll. Military get discounts on phones & plans?

I also want to know about this discount.

Plus 1 I have govt accnt where is this
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

they are still available for free. If you have the premier account, you should either: at the page where they are asking for zip, phone #, etc., scroll down and select shop for accessories. If you are going directly into the premier site, find the accessories link, and either one of the two methods will put you at the point of inputting make and model. I received my second order yesterday (another set of earbuds, and a charger I didn't really need, but it works ok). If you are not seeing them free, you are in the regular site, not the premier site.

Checking status on Play Store order.

Ordered Pix 3 XL on 12-29-18 from Play Store and accessories. Got accessories delivered, but says still delay on XL. Does anyone know of any issues on shipments or is this because of usual delays with manufacture or delivery problems. How do you get in touch with customer service? Email?? If so what is the best way to contact Google Play about order? Thanks.

If you are in a supported country, there are several ways to reach Play Store Support. You can leave your phone number and they will call back in a few minutes, or you can just chat support during normal business hours. When you purchased your phone was it in stock for immediate delivery?

Hi Everyone,
We know you may have tried to contact Google Store support recently and we want to sincerely apologize if we weren’t able to chat with you directly. We’ve been experiencing much higher volumes than we’re used to, so we appreciate your patience.
This post intends to answer some of the main questions that many customers have been reaching out to us about related to order shipment status and some of the recent promotions on store.google.com.
Delayed device shipments and notifications
If you’re wondering when your phone will arrive, rest assured that you’ll receive an email with the details of your delivery date. Please note that unfortunately Google Store Support does not have any additional information on your shipment, so you do not need to reach out to Google Store support for additional details. Once you receive your order tracking number, this will be your best indication of package delivery date. We will always update you with any changes to your delivery date via email. Thank you for your patience.

Follow this Google Support Link. There are 3 ways to reach them BUT as you will see there is a big banner across the top of the page stating they are experiencing longer than usual shipping delays.

Thanks for the link. I guess i'll be patient and wait it out a little longer. I went through Paypal when I bought this phone and the accessories, but they only charged me for the accessories once they were shipped and delivered to me. Called Paypal and they said no other charges was processed except for the accessories in the same order as phone.

Did you ever receive your order?? I have been waiting 20 days for my phone to be shipped and still nothing. I keep being told all i need to do is keep waiting because of the low inventory stock. Quite frustrating.
