as some one who is about to take the plunge and get a TP2 im wondering how people purchased them and what deall they got
if im right they cost £504.85 including vat
best deal to suit me on contract is voda talker £30 + with mobile web
500 mins, 100 text (dont text that much) and unlimited mobile web 18 months @ £34.26 + £616.86
now for that the phone comes with no branding and unlocked, so why just buy it then get a contract is there something i am missing
so whats deals have people gone for and why
thanks for any input
Vodafone 1 year contract, 27.50 € a month, + Unlimited Online Blox
I need to pay 286 extra for the TP2, total is ~650?
Not too bad. Because the the TP2 alone cost 600€. So I can call 200 minutes/400texts a month, for around €50 a year
And I'm getting a free 16gb microSD card from the e-tailer I'm buying it from. Great offer if you ask me.
Best deals I could find
Hi there,
I posted this on a different page but this is probably the best place for it...
I'm currently talking with T-Mobile and they have told me that they will be getting branded handsets in at the end of the week, personally I prefer a sim free version but it looks like it will be possible by next week to buy them on the network with a lovely discounted rate.
Handtec are selling the phones at £502.40 inc VAT
As I'm a fussy git I've managed to wangle an upgrade through Carphone Warehouse so it will be fully unlocked, sadly they dont have them in stock yet so I will have to wait until the end of the week :-(
For anyone who could do with this phone on a new contract on T-Mobile/Vodafone I urge you to check out www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk as they are doing some amazing deals, I couldnt help but drool, I would recommend the Combi 30 + package, £25 for the phone and £35 per month with web and walk thrown in and a shed load of free calls and unlimited texts.
I hope this info is of use to some of you.
UPDATE - I have cancelled my old T-Mobile contract and gone for the Combi 30 + Web 'N' Walk deal on www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk as it seems the best way of getting the phone with a very useful tarriff.
Cheers guys

Bought it for 440 euro's. Was a mistake by the retailer. But I'm still getting it for that price (lucky me)
now the prices have changed already
Went with mobile phones direct phone £66 and t mobile £30 a month. best deal for me and the shop is only in southampton so just a 30 min car journey if i have probs.
That's incredibly jammy, which retailer was it?!!

Neckermann!
I was doubting if I should buy it there, but thought that it would probally end up in paying 600 for it. As the price is now 599 but it was indeed 440 before.
But it is a pretty sweet deal you got there !
Radio Exists!!
More good news... some very bright spark has found that the radio hasnt been removed and has created a cab for us to use!!

Hi,
I to ordered with neckerman and have a "confirmation" e-mail for the 440eur. I got no mail as to the price being changed or my order being canceled. I however also did not receive any unit yet nor did i get a shipping confirmation.
I'm pretty sure there is no way to hold me to a higher price.. the other way around however..
How / why are you so sure you will get the unit for the " confirmed" price.. there is some small print discaimer for wrong pricing.
I'd be interested to get my order definitively confirmed to...
Cheers

Thre are a lot of people who asked confirmation from neckerman (in a dutch ICT forum: tweakers.net). It seems that all people who have paid already using IDEAL get it for the prize they paid. People who asked a transaction form (accept giro in dutch) still have to pay 600 or get their money back.
The product is available in the Netherlands since today, so I expect to receive it pretty soon
(the fact is: people who used IDEAL closed the buying agreement by paying.)
got mine from MPD
£25 for the phone and a 18month contract with vodafone
£34 500 mins 100 text and unlimited web (which is what i want it for )

help/advice please
i am planning to buy tp2 and saw this but it looks too good to be true. the listing says that it is single camera version. is this a true/original htc touch pro 2?
has anybody seen a new tp2 as cheap as this? the seller has good feedback but still i want to be sure and hence seeking advice here.
Looks OK to me. I bought my TP2 from a UK based ebay shop 6 months or so ago, cost me £170 brand new. Mine is the US T-Mobile version, same or similar as the one in the listing you're looking at. There is no front facing camera on these models, also a few other differences to the EU phones, but they are genuine TP2s. Be aware though that any screen protectors or cases you look for will have to be for the specific model that you are getting, the UK ones will not fit, usually. I found a flip case & screen protectors for mine but had to buy from abroad, took about 6 weeks to arrive. As for the device, I couldn't be happier with it, flashed a custom ROM from this forum & all working 100%. Hope this helps, & if you go ahead with the purchase enjoy your new phone!

are other specifications same as any other tp2?
why would other screen protector not fit? is screen size/shape not the same?
Yes, aside from having no front camera, all other specs are the same. The screen protectors won't fit because the hardware buttons and speaker are different. Also the USB port is moved a little on the carrier specific models I think, so some cases may not fit properly. The T-Mobile version has a different colour scheme and provides access to the SD slot without removing the battery cover.
Where can i buy Rhodium without Contract in UK. I buy HTC touch HD without contract at Carphone before but just wonder if i can buy Rhodium there too ^^. My house is quite far from it so i dont have time to go there to ask -_-
Not sure where the best buy is at the moment
Check places like Devicewire, Expansys, Clove, and Handtec I suspect they will be cheaper than Carphone Warehouse. There was a thread here about prices, but not sure if it's still active.
Good Luck!

Hit google with the UK only radio button. There's 1000+1 places to buy from. I got mine from launch at Amazon.co.uk
The good things from carphone is u can go there to check if there is something like dead pixel on the fone before make decisions.
Last time when i bought my HD there it took me only 450 GBP for the fone while i checked at clove it was around 500 GBP -_-.
#3: I know how to search man -_-
Try eBay.
oh man ebay is not different from the other online site. If u buy it and u get smt like dead pixel on the screen u have to send it back -_-
I got mine from http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/ £434 on voda pay2go. For some reason it was cheaper than simfree. Phone is not branded or locked as using with my 3 sim.
That's a pretty good deal from mpd ... only problem I'd have with buying from them is that I've heard nightmare stories about people having probs with the phone, and mpd won't have anything to do with them...
For Sale Touch Pro 2 - Vodafone Branded
I currently got a touch pro 2 on vodafone as an upgrade but the wife had already bought me one offline.
So it is up for grabs for £375 plus £5.00 to cover royal mail registered post.
cash to be paid ia bank transfer or paypal. If paypal used then buyer to pay paypal charges.
How about handtech which advertise on xda forum. I found it quite cheap only 438 with simfree
the problem with a lot of uk sites these days is their quality control. i always buy sim free and hate it when the "new" phone arrives in an opened box, factory screen protector half off etc.. they do a **** job of putting it all back in the box after "checking contents".
i used to buy from Play but their prices aren't competitve any more and no confirmed despatch date.
try King of Gadgets. all their stuff is factory sealed and there's a really good bloke over the phone who wont muck you about.
good luck.

Thank u very much ^^ . And about handtec ? Do u have any info about them ?
no experience sorry. but I'm always weary of low prices. I think with them you still have to pay a fair amount for next day delivery. over the last few years I've learnt the hard way there's no such thing as a bargain
i've just chatted with them online and they told me that i don't have to pay any fee for nextday delivery but the problem for the dead pixel is. HTC only accepts to replace fone with more than 3 deadpixels -_- .
Handtec sell brand new and sealed phones but they are gray imports meaning no automatic network settings and detection and probably some warranty issues. This was the experience I had when I bought a Kaiser from them and when I returned it and asked for a UK spec, they simply sent the same phone back to me in a UK spec box (lol). I returned it and did a charge back when they started trying to act funny. Devicewire sell UK spec phones at the most competitive prices in my opinion.
Seriously boss. You can buy from anyone of these sellers and if you're not happy, dead pixel or otherwise then you can send it back with no obligation citing distance selling act. The common vendors like expansys, amazon etc are all good for it. Pick someone whom you trust and pull the trigger!
thank you very much. Maybe i will try with clove.co.uk kkkk
The European/Asian version (A8181) won't work with AT&T 3G network, and the Australian version (A8183, Telstra branded) will work with AT&T 3G network as long as you are in the 850Mhz coverage area. From what I've heard, 850Mhz coverage includes all major cities. While I can't comment for your area, I can tell you that my A8183 works perfectly fine with AT&T 3G network in Chicago. AT&T has also stated that they are migrating all their 3G network to 850Mhz, leaving 1900Mhz only of EDGE.
Anyway, all of the info above can be found in other threads, what I want to add here is that Australian Dollars are dropping like CRAZY and it is now the great opportunity for you AT&T US users to buy the Desire from Australia.
Every US sellers have been selling this AT&T 3G compatible model on eBay for at least USD700, some even over USD800. There is this Australian eBay seller has been selling a few Desire for AUD700 each, and (although not listed in the auction, but you can ask him) he charges around AUD50 to ship to the US using EMS.
I bought mine from this seller around two weeks ago, with a total of roughly AUD 750, which, at the exchange that time, was about USD 700. Two weeks later, today, I was curious and searched "Telstra Desire" on eBay again and found that this seller still has a few A8183 model for sale, again at AUD 700 each. The difference? Now AUD has fallen SO much that AUD 750 costs only about USD 620~630... So if I had waited for two months, I could have saved 70 bucks!
Anyhow, I wrote this just to let you AT&T users to know that you don't have to pay $800 to get a AT&T compatible Desire. Just go to eBay and serach "Telstra Desire" and you will find the Australian seller I am talking about. He shipped pretty quickly, and with EMS if only take a few days to come to the US. The only problem I had in the process was that my phone was held by the US custom for a week, FOR NO REASON! When my phone arrived, the package showed no sign that it was inspected by the custom. Perhaps the custom was just too lazy and decided to take a week off processing packages.
Btw, in case you wonder, roms that work on the A8181 model work fine on the A8183. I followed the rooting procedure on Modaco forum, and installed Modaco custom rom r3 on my A8183 without any problem.
Yoz
Hah I think we think alike dude cause I got one from the same seller if I think you know? This the same guy?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320534188327
$578.06 + $49 Ship = $627 shipped for me ($49 Australia to STL, MO)
Not bad at all, especially for people that thought only option was an n1.
only 2 left now...
check the dudes Telestra's 850mhz HD2 also.. cheap! (Approximately US $660.64)
Best part is I get to make a nice chunk of that back with the sale of my old mint 8125 wizard and 8925 kaiser. cheers dude
Yup I bought my Desire from him.
Don't know how he get the Desire so cheap though, he is selling them cheaper than Telstra sells them. Before I bought the Desire from him, I was going to ask my friend in Australia to get the Desire from Telstra for me. But then Telstra was (and still is) selling it for AUD 779 (+ tax) w/o contract
http://www.telstra.com.au/shop/personal/Mobile-MobilePhones-HTCDesire?SMSESSION=NO
which was too for me.
I pick that Desire over the N1 because (a) I don't like the track ball, (b) I prefer physical button, and (c) I think the Desire looks better (personal preference). I have experience with rooting and flashing custom roms, and I knew the hardwares of the N1 and the Desire are similar enough that roms for one can be ported to the other within days. So even though I knew that the N1 would get new updates quicker, while the Desire has Sense (which I really love), this is not really an issue for me.
But I wasn't ready to pay $800 for (a)-(c) above, and luckily I found this seller on eBay. Given how cheap the AUD is these days, this is now an even sweeter deal.
Sweetness
Well that's great news im stoked to get mine then. I checked out the r3 release over at modaco looks mint as well will root and give that a shot after a week or so. You liking it how much bloatware in the telestra rom just curious?
I'm coming from my super old 8125 wizard (didn't need to upgrade) to this, so it should be rather sweet. I got mine out of contract cause i'm not on data plan and I don't need it (but have the option down the road) They will not add data to your service either if you're out of contract (4yrs out of contract here hah) many people have misconception of that.
Anyways it used to be even more greater savings it appears check out some of the feedbacks dude sold some HD2s for like $520 unlocked NIB. craziness gotta love those aussies on 850 data!
AS for how he gets them so cheap, I doubt he's able to sell with the auctions, just some copy/paste specs. I'm sure most people abroad think it's a scam. (Obviously not if you got yours, and he has 98% positive feedback at 238) Took me a good 15 mins to check it out, I was debating.
The guys name is SHIAUYI MA. Non-US verified on PAYPAL though so good to go completely safe. I will say i've been trying to get ahold of them with no response besides the paypal invoice. (had correct shipping and address though so looked good)
well
now there's only 1 left in the guys inventory, someone else jumped on it. The items in the pics are actual it appears check out the telestra symbol, as well the guy seems to sell a lot of gaming consoles and other tech to AU only with pics on the same wood table and such.
It was $760AU ($627USD) on my Paypal invoice yesterday morning ($60AU for shipping = $49USD) so yeah you're right tsekh501, as of today Aussie rates are great for us if you paid $750AU and it was actually $700 just 2 months ago.
I think i'll even take it over to the local AT&T and ask when the desire's coming out for us AT&T users
I have always had windows mobile, but have been fortunate of enough the past two months or so to use a lot of the recent Android builds for Kaiser, using donut and eclair 2.1 (at least runs well) I know the OS pretty well now. I dig it and was ready for the real thing. let's put that extra 64mb of ram over the N1 to use! Cheers
*Update
Seller responded last night, and it appears 4 more were sold as well after posting the link on here. Glad to have helped anyone out snagging one for cheap.
"Dear atom311,
Yes, It is how much australia post charges for int' express post to US.
Normally it takes 1-3 business days.
And your item should be ready to go out on Monday.
Thanks
- yoyopopo1214"
i was one of the guys that got this. the seller seems a bit hard to get a hold of, but i will reserve any judgement until i get the phone. i asked him when he was shipping the phone and could supply me with a tracking number and he replied that he shipped via int' express post and would follow up with a tracking number, which strikes me as odd because it shouldn't have been very hard to have included the number in that message. i'm sure he's a legit seller, i think he just lacks some customer service skills. maybe i'm just getting antsy because my kaiser got smoked over the weekend and i need a phone.
He is legit. I bought one form him and has been using it very happily since last week.
He doesn't communicate very well though. It took him more than a day to get back to me with the shipping quote, and when my package got stuck in LAX custom (which was NOT the seller's fault, btw) I emailed him to see if he knew what was happening but he didn't reply at all.
The phone is legit and the shipping is very quick (minus the stuck at custom part, which can happen to anything shipped from outside the US. If the package had gone through the custom within a day, tha phone could have arrived in 3 days), however.
yeah, before buying i went through his feedback and figured he's a legit seller, just wish he could work on his service skills a bit more.... oh well, i guess that's the price to pay for getting something at a cheaper price. can't reallly expect too much seeing as he's selling for less than telstra. if you don't mind me asking where in the US are you located at tsekh501?

Chicago, but somehow the phone landed at LAX.

got mine today, perfect mint condition, NIB, never opened like stated. from Australia to St. Louis (Middle of the USA) in 4 days... sweetness! Anyways all is mint, dude is legit, I suggest keeping him on your favorites pages, see what he gets now and then, could actually make some dough in the US. Anyways, Im more than happy, they come like stated. 2GB SD for Telestra.
They'll probably all land at LAX of course, its the biggest and closest port to our Aussie pals
btw custom report shows David Huang as the shipper for anyone wondering
Nice!
Hello guys,
I bought a HTC HD2 to him on monday and I did a little research of the seller. That's amazing I got all your comments in xda
His communication is not that well but I hope it arrives before next monday.
Sorry this is not the right forum for my experience
Is it possible? i have a friend that should be int the sates on October and i want him to buy it from the AT&T store, but can he buy it without any contract or a sim card?
if not is there any other way? i don't want to buy it directly and ship it to my country cos the taxes here will make the purchase unjustified (will add more the 125$ not including the shipment).
Yes, you can buy any phone that AT&T sales in stores without a contact.....except the iPhone. Currently the off contract of the Captivate Glide is $500 though from AT&T
If I helped you, please press the Thanks button

Or via amazonwireless.com
(ps. I hit thanks by accident on your message and i don't know how to remove it!)
I bought mine from Amazon Wireless, as phone only (phone upgrade), $ 399, and then unlock with an on-line service ($ 25).
the problem wit amazonwireless for me is that i need to have a US adress, there is a service for that but the charge an arm and a leg.
plus the taxes to import the phone makes it unwise to buy it online. i need to cheack with the customs again, maybe (if buddha will premit) there wont be import taxes on this phone (VAT will probley will be but its low amount).
I live in Europe and went to US in March and a tried to buy this phone in a AT&T Store and it was not possible. Even to buy the phone without contract they require a contract plan. I did buy the phone thru ebay later. I would suggest you the same if you have access to US address.

Do you mind telling us how much you paid without shipping then how much was shipping. Just to give others an idea on what they can get via eBay?

The phone itself has cost $389,99 and international USPS Express shipping was $44,99. This was quite cheap compared to the $600 (+ shipping) on Amazonwireless back then.
Btw. If any German is interested in the taxes I had to pay: It was about 63€ (~19%)
now days the glide cost 400 dollors via amazonwireless and the shiping in the staes is free.
i think i got lucky cos i have a friend that is gona visit is family in the states sooner then expected and he agreed that i will ship this to his family house, and he will bring it to me when he come back. so i can get away from shiping and taxes via customes.
yeah ebay its the only place to buy a phone anymore, altho some pawnshops will cut good deals. seems 300 for a new or refurbished phone on ebay is the going rate & most folks dont mind shipping outa country.
helpslip is there a problem buying from amazonwireless if i ship it in the US?
i can arrange a frined living there to get my package, dont know if he have AT&T service and actualy don't care only want the phone with no contract.
i wouldnt think so altho i have zero 1st hand experience w/ amazonwireless, if its ran the same way as amazon your purchasing from an independent seller sometimes just a dood w/ a garage no different than ebay & ebay now has 30 day buyer protection so they refund price & shipping (& return shipping if needed) if something doesnt arrive or doesnt work etc... ive even been refunded after more than a year for an item that didnt arrive from australia (to usa) altho i keep in contact w/ seller through ebay so they could verify a problem.
damn i sound like a shill for ebay sorry.
now i got confused. i saw that i can buy from amazon wireless an locked phonw with or without a contract and also from amazon.com itself that its seems sells from independet seller (like the market). whoshould i choose? at least i have some time to think about it cos my firned will be in the states in a month from now.
I bought from Amazon Wireless, which is Amazon direct. They will sell you a locked phone without contract.
When I bought it, it used to be wrongly labled as "unlocked" I contacted them and they offered a full refund. Since I'm in the UAE I didn't want that, just an unlock code, to which they said they can't help me with that. So I ended up unlocking from AmericanUnlocker.
I prefer to buy direct, in this case it would be Amazon Wireless, that'll help with returns.
thank incidentflux you made my choice clearer. i will buy it from amazon wireless direct. also the delivery is free and will take 2-3 days to my friend's door.
unfourtuntly it will take a while until i will get it, hope ics will be out by then and if not the inc3ption rom will be a great choise
Glad to help. Yes shipping is free as well. But the smartphone will still be locked to AT&T by the way, which is an inconvenience.
I also ordered the SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC
Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

Looked at ebuyer.com on friday and the price was £329. Today it's £389!!
It was £278 delivered TO UK on amazon.de this week, also £284 HERE

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).
