Here’s one from Craigslist. Apparently, they are listing on different Craigslist’s sites in the country with the same add. They are located in Provo, Utah with a store location in case anyone wants to verify they actually have some.

That craigslist most definitely is a scam
350USD, yeah right, and only a stock photo (rendering) as picture..

We buy directly from manufacturers for import to retailers, there are limited quantities available, but they are on the world market
Thank you for asking
Ive also asked htc they told me the same its no fake its an touch pro 2 and some of them are also sold yet

Woah, located in Provo, Utah and selling the Touch Pro 2 for $350? I'm about 40 minutes north of Provo, so maybe I'll check it out...
Anyone got a phone number for them? Or what is the name of the store location?

No-one said it's a fake, the craigslist "photo" is a stockphoto (a rendering).
HTC is not SELLING any of these devices yet.
Only ones released are the pre-production models, they are eg. for operators for testing.
NONE are yet for sale.

Fake. The phone hasn't been released

As I type this I am obtaining a new ROM from my source for the Rhodium.
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
This ROM was released to me today. There's no way that there are consumer grade devices for sale out there. I promise you, if the seller is true and has the device, the Rhodium had two stages in its development. One included hardware and software that were "non-turbo", later on the hardware was enabled with "turbo" but had to be disabled with a specialized cab. If that was not completed the firmware would stall and there would be an error stating that the hw/sw versions do not match. this was a real pain in the ass to get around that. So finally, everything is a running beta stage as of today.
Buyer beware.

its funny, i'm comparing my device with the ebay one. they look nothing alike. The back isn't even close, the keyboard looks cheap, the chrome on the edges doesn't exist, the screen size is wrong. I hate it when people try to prey on device junkies... don't they know that's like teasing a kid with candy.

I thought of china clone, probably doesn't even run winmo..

[Q] Expansys Handset from Mexico?

Hello all. I don't post very often, if at all, but I had a question and was wondering if those who received their handset recently could answer. I ordered a Galaxy Nexus from Expansys (USA Store), and I received it today. I opened it up and was expecting the handset box to have that security sticker that I've seen other unboxings on YouTube to have. It didn't. I was also surprised that I have Spanish / Mexican writing in addition to English on the outside of my box. I opened my box and instead of the UK plug, I was given a Mexican (?) plug. I'm not sure, the plug said "ME" on the side. I also received warranty books in English and Spanish. Sorry, I'm not sure how to speak Spanish or Mexican so I may be mixing it up. I tried searching these forums, but I haven't seen a thread on this yet.
So, I know there are some people that received their handsets today from Expansys, and I was wondering if they received the same thing?
Sorry, if this has been covered before, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

I was about to make a post about the same thing.
My Nexus also came without a security seal, US charger, and English/Spanish manuals. Also, on the inside of my phone it does not say Made in Korea. Instead it says Korean Product.
But I did not order from Expansys.

Thanks for your response, aeox. I'm thankful I wasn't the only one that received a handset from someplace else. I'm hoping that everything else internally is the same, i.e. same sourced parts. I have flashbacks to when I was on Blackberry and people compared country of manufacture to determine problems. Lol.
I'm naive about electricity also. Would someone be able to tell me if it's safe to use the "ME" plug in US sockets? Could I use my SGSII plug to charge the Nexus? Just want to be sure and not fry my phone or my house.
Thanks again, and sorry for all the questions.

I'm kind of worried too. Since none of the labels on the box or phone itself have all "regular" labels that is seen in every video out there. Especially the sticker inside the back of the phone.
Korean Product vs. Made in Korea by Samsung.
Does any one else have different accessories or packaging?

Can't say that I have dealt with this... but it might be safest to stick to USB charges until you find your answer.

Darthbull: Is the sticker inside your phone the same as mine?

I have said this since last week, no one really noticed/reply...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19880721&postcount=389
I order from Negri, seems like it came from spain or something...

Any chance of some pictures guys?

That thread got kind of long full of posts from all over the place. I probably missed it.
I'll try to post some pictures tonight when I get home.

aeox: Yeah, mine says "PRODUCTO COREANO / KOREAN PRODUCT"

Regarding doubts of some batches are made in Korea or not; they are all made in Korea. Even though the phone says "Producto Coreano/Product of Korea", the bottom side of the white box has a lable that says "Phone: Made in Korea, Imported Accessories individually marked" So theres no doubt the phone is manufactured in Korea and the accessories in China as labled.
I just got mine FRESH. I did not purchase it at an online retailer like negri or expansis but from a wholesale company that I have connections with. They seem to have the same batch as many of you mentioned; no security stickers and spanish and english on packaging and documentation. I saw the entire lot that they have and its the same thing. Theyre a reputable company, they wouldnt mickymouse with such a high end device, as anyone will certainly expect folks like us will put anything and everything about it under a microscope.

Sounds a little bit more reassuring. But I personally still would rather have a made in Korea by Samsung sticker with the FCC logo instead of the simple cheap looking one I have.

I completely understand but, know that this isnt a standard US/CA handset where you get a nice FCC seal etc. These phones were meant for a different region with different standards. Also, my hypothesis is that we dont get a samsung seal of quality because this isnt a fully Samsung developed developed device. This is a joint effort lead by Google and Samsung happens to be the lead manufacturer. If it was a pure Samsung device, i trust samsung would have put in their own in-house Exynos SoC instead of Texas Instrument OMAP right?
I dont know what the standards for Mexico mobile devices are either (or if these handsets were even meant for mexico in the first place), but DAMN this phone looks sexy as fcuk. I love it. And you should too, dont let a little packaging issue take away the fact that you have the next badass Google Nexus device.

1saleaday Lapdocks (Again) ~$60

For anyone still looking to snag one, http://1saleaday.com/ has the lapdock for sale again. $54.99, plus what I would imagine is their standard $5 shipping.
Edit---------
As mentioned by pre4speed, they decreased the rice by $5. Curious -- I have never seen them do that on their site before.

When will these sales be available outside the US ?

NM...............n00b moment!

Just received mine today. Opened it up to discover it has a UK keyboard... ಠ_ಠ

Ill get mine tomorrow and let you know whether mine is uk as well, hope we didnt get fooled

Yea, sure hope this wasn't a common thing. Emailed support though. I don't recall seeing anything in the description about it being a UK version.
It doesn't affect too much on the layout, but it is a bit annoying. I'll post back if/when I get a response from them.

yup uk keyboard

Good News
Well, I have good news. It would seem that they are accepting returns on the webtops with a UK keyboard. The email seems like it might be just a script/automated message, but it should work.
I received the following email:

sup guys got mine today, using it now. Didn't even notice the keyboard thing till i saw this thread.(smh..it said it on the box) look like its a common thing. other than the "@" and "2" functions being switch around everything is good. i think i'm going to stick out and don't bother trying to get a exchange plus itook the stickers of already (feel like the uk version is probably the only one they have)

Yea, that's what worries me. Also, it's not going to be exactly cheap to send a box of that size that weighs 5 lbs. I think I'm going to reply back to them to make sure I'm not going to waste time & money on getting the same thing.

just going to keep it. not worth the trouble to ship back

I need a lapdock!! Why do I always arrive late to the party

Same here, UK keyboard, here is some help...
Yes, the 2/@ key but also others such as \ and # keys. Check here for layouts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KB_United_States-NoAltGr.svg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

Got another email from them. It seems that upon request, they will provide shipping labels. So if you were debating it on the fact that shipping it back will cost you, just send support an email.

thanks but was mostly worried about them not having the us keyboard version(which Im started to believe is the case) and making me send it back for no reason. After 3 days im loving this thing and can wait for ICS update w webtop 3.0

onesaleaday has it on sale again (via Newegg.com). looks like model #9SIA0MC0B56334. can someone that has received one check the model number so that it can be confirmed if US or UK layout. Looks like the "other model 3 is 9SIA0MC0932943. I went ahead and put it on order, but might cancel if someone confirms this is not US model. I think it is not, as the latter model # is out of stock.
while trying to find out which KB this has, I found another link from 1saleaday to http://bensoutlet.com/products/motorola-lapdock-atrix-4g they also list it @ $59.99.
also I sent an email to 1saleaday asking them to confirm which KB for item on sale.
update sent email requesting info on keybrd in stock. It was forwarded to someone else who replied asking what i wanted (request was in email she was forwarded, and in turn responded to me on). Final response was "We can not guarantee that the keyboard will be either US or UK". I will not do biz with these folks after dealing with them and also from reading all the probs other folks had with their service.

Yea, they gave me the same thing when I sent mine back. We can't guarantee that there are US keyboard ones in stock. Got a refund, and I don't think I will be ordering from them any time soon.
Just head to ebay or Amazon. Surely a few more dollars to guarantee a US keyboard is worth it. As for me, I'm going to hold off until webtop 3.0 comes to purchase a new one.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

Oh you guys had me scared. I did end up getting a UK keyboard version, but that's just the labels on the keys. Shift + 2 still gets me @ instead of ", for example. So unless you intend to use the lapdock for learning how to type, it won't be a problem.

I don't understand, is $60 price unusual for the lapdock? I've been keeping an eye on this amazon listing for $60.48 for the last month (waiting for birthday money to purchase it) and I have not seen the price changes.

that's a decent price. normally about $100 with shipping. you might want to check which model they have (UK or US).

TYping on mine now ! - Arrived about an hour ago. Not as good as the Transformer Prime keyboard is my first impression, but it does keep the tab at a nice angle. Need to find away to stop the soft keyboard popping up though, thats really annoying.

Mine arrived this morning. Not bad at all seen as though I am in Holland and I ordered it from the UK around 17:00 yesterday.
Oh, and it visited Brussels on its way to me.
Unfortunately it has been delivered with a less than attached space bar, so I need to arrange a replacement.

I've been waiting for this, but it looks like its already sold out.
Where are you located, and what's that store's ETA for delivery? From what I can tell on their website, they're located in the UK. I'm hoping for a US supplier of the keyboard so I don't have to wait a month and pay 2x the keyboard price to have it shipped.

It might well be worth waiting for a keyboard from the US which will have a familiar layout, rather than having to deal with the different layout of Keys on a UK spec one - take it from someone who has to use Swiss-German at work and UK at home :-&

shiiiiiiit (said in clay davis voice) what is the difference between a UK/US keyboard layout? they never mention that it is the UK version on the link i bought it from that i can find. after they sent me the shipping info though they are obviously based in the UK, which also explains the higher price.

you can probably adjust the Settings>Language and input to appropriate language - I did this on my apple keyboard, I think the @ and " keys were mixed, fixed when I switched from Australia to USA input.

a blue-tooth keyboard is much better than a dock, specially when combine with OTG usb for a mouse, or charging, am i right?

Not if you enter any secure data. Bluetooth keyboards are banned at my employer because all of your keyboard input can be easily sniffed from a surprisingly long distance away. Plus, I don't want more batteries to worry about. The Samsung keyboard dock lets you charge while using the keyboard. I hope to hack it up a bit and embed a USB hub into it as well.

compatible battery?

Hi all,
Anybody know if it's possible to use any other phone battery inside swift(1), LG or Samsung or any other brand?
Or if it's possible to repackage this type of battery?

Very unlikely

You could also buy a new battery @wileyfox-store.

got my phone originally though the orange store SA, but as that's closed up, officially there is no support locally for this phone,
makes trying to find batteries locally a bit of a chore.
and why im asking if there is something else that might also work, like a generic, or compatible?
we do have a representative of STK (who brought out wileyfox) locally, but not sure if they might be able to help?
but first prize, would be a samsung or other battery that would fit perfectly.

Finding batteries anywhere in the world - even in their home UK market - is like searching for hens teeth; Wileyfox lost their way very shortly after their debut a couple of years ago (and long before their collapse and buy-out by STK). Just Google Kazam too.
WF have tried to kill-off the Swift first and foremost amongst their 1st gen range - they hate this phone especially for some reason. They promised a spare battery for general sale but an ongoing supply just never materialised. Indeed a couple of batches at most were brought to market but snapped up very quickly - and that was that. Since then WF maintain radio silence on this subject as is attested to on their Facebook page.
There are some available on eBay or aliexpress, frequently under the part numbers in the previous post. This is because the Swift is a rebadge of an Android One phone hailing from the far east.
