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
Terry
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

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.
Just curious. For those here in the US who couldn't wait and purchased an Unlocked version, could you tell me/us how long it took from order to your hands and any extra fees you had to pay (import, ect..)
I'm very seriously considering just getting the unlocked and not waiting for the AT&T version to come out, even tho it would be a big risk not being able to insure it.
Thanks.
To all your points below you forgot the fact that an Europe version will not work on 3G USA networks...If you don´t mind loosing this I don´t think the shiping time or costos will be to high

Clove is an excellent choice. Purchased my Hermes, Kaiser and 3G-less Touch Pro from them. Shipping was unbelievably fast each time. I will be waiting for the US 3G version, though. Another thing to consider before purchasing an unlocked phone from Europe that is not fully functional in the USA is resale value. Since I upgrade my phone once or even twice in a year I always sell my used phones on eBay while they are still worth something. I imagine a Touch Pro2 without 3G in the USA will have less resale value if you sell it in the US. I think my Touch Pro was undervalued when I sold it earlier this year.

that is also not a concern with me. Once i get the TP2 ill likely have it for 2+ years, which by then, will be so out of date nobody will want to buy it. Ive had my 3125 for 2 years, and even if it was still a viable phone, ive dropped it a couple times so its not workin 100% anymore.
i do have to ask..

That "VAT" don't applied to international shipping buyer,.. (It is like local tax).
In your case, you only pay for the £426 plus shipping.
P/S: Noted, headsup...make sure you check with your Creditcard Co. they might charge you with some fees for foreign transaction.
Has anyone purchased the TP2 in the states and are currently using it? Wondering what problems, if any their could be.
Not yet,
As announced before till late July not any TP2 will be sold in America (Continent)
At least the 3G version, the european version you can get it easyly from any online store like clove uk
Buying HTC Pro2 in US
Check with Amazon
or use these guys, this is where I bought mine
http://www.welectronics.com/gsm/hTC/HTC-TOUCH-PRO2.HTML
Has anyone purchased a UK version and is now using it in the states? Any issues? Im looking at Clove at the "HTC Touch Pro2 - Bundle Option Two " which includes the device, a car charger, a 3.5mm adapter, screen protector and an extra battery.
According to Google, the bundle = $738.10 while the device itself is = $678.34. Wondering if the $60 difference is worth it. I know most of that price is the battery. *ponders* i did add it up and separately all the extras add up to about $86.
Like i mentioned on my previous post, I have been using it for a month now (with T-Mobile)... very happy with it and not problem at all ((Bought it from clove) and of course has been playing around with it and tweak it.
Here is my latest screen shot :>

I have a TP2 on AT&T which I bought in the US here
the person had my shipped right to me from Hong Kong and i had it in two days, but I believe they have some in stock in CA. I am in CA and I love my TP2, no I do not have 3G, but I am very impressed with how well the edge works. I have had no problems with it and I have a lot of 3rd party programs on it.

just checked.. my bank changes a fee of "0.8%" according to him. which by his own math, in decimal form = 0.008. So it will be roughly about $6.00 fee to get a Touch Pro 2 from across the pond. My other bank said they charged 3% (.03) so my first bank is alot cheaper lol
So then if i got This Touch Pro 2 Bundle, after shipping and transaction fee, it would = $750.05
Ouch.. lol i know i want to do it, but it will still hurt pressing that 'check out' button

[edit]
Well, its ordered. I with with Bundle 1 instead of 2 because i didnt think i needed the battery, least this early so saved some money their. It messed up the billing and the shipping address (it mixed them up) but hopefully should still get here. I just pray if nobody is here, the delivery guy wont just leave it on the step for someone to grab. Ill let you guys know when i get this Tri-corder
Hi Everyone,
I was thinking that given the size of our community, I might be able to negotiate group discounts on new devices (especially pre-orders of upcoming devices). My goal would be to get the cheapest price possible from a reputable online retailer. I know lots of sites all over the web use stores or affiliate links to make a few extra bucks; this would be more about getting the best deal for you... if xda were getting anything out of it, I would make sure that was 100% clear.
Does this interest you guys at all? I have no idea how large of a discount I could get (maybe only 5- 10%), but I wanted to gauge the interest before I tried.
How many of you actually plan on pre-ordering one of the new HTC devices? Which one?
Thx!
Well, it depends on if AT&T decides to carry this phone or not. There's no point in ordering it if AT&T will eventually subsidy it for a lower cost. I have two lines that are (both) out of contract-- and I'm looking to make a major upgrade for me & the wife.
So, if AT&T doesn't hook me up, sign me up for two. But, seriously, send me a message if you make any progress.
I want this phone extremely bad. I can't make any commitment until I know it will be offered on Tmobile in the US with our goofy bands and whatnot.
I would be interested if the device would be released on ANY North American 3g bands.
I just can't live without data on my phone for much longerr

Ditto! ...ordered mine a week ago. I haven't told the wife yet as I haven't found the right time to break it to her as we're supposed to be clearing our credit cards and paying her parents back this year!
I actually go out of may way to be different and yesterday stumbled across the silver version on PDAshop.nl/.be and Smartphoneshop.nl/.be and took a fancy to it - they're the only places in Europe offering it too. I asked for a quote to ship to the UK and was all set to cancel my order with Clove but they refuse to ship outside the Netherlands or Belgium. Then I realized they are both the same company and their sites are mirrors of each other which instantly raises my suspicions ...why would the same company trade as two different competing entities if they didn't have something to hide I think.

Am thinking of ordering one of these phones. Currently own a 3GS on O2.
Can pre order with mobiles.co.uk . Looking at T-Mobs Web 600 tariff at £30 per month.
Can I ask what, if any, limits T-Mob have with regards to data usage.I currently use Slingplayer on my 3GS, along with radio streaming, use Youtube a fair bit.Would I have any problems doing this with T-Mob(I understand they took the YT app off of their HD2s?), assuming of course that Slingplayer gets released for Android?

When I swapped my 3GS for HD2 I bought the HD2 so I could put my o2 sim straight in it.. Didn't want to loose the o2 data allowance from the iphone contract. And will be doing the same with the Desire.
Yeah, suppose I could do the same.Just get a cheaper tariff .Or else wait and buy a locked one?from O2?
Am currently on the £20 Simplicity for iPhone tariff.I thought they knew if the SIM was being used in a phone other than an iPhone?
Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!
i want to buy from canadagsm.ca the glide and send it to a family member who's living there. is anybody here bought from them? and more important is the IMEI of their phones are generic ones? (i know they sell an unlock version of the phone, so it can be unlocked with generic IMEI).

Hey taiber,
I just bought my (locked) glide from canadagsm with no issues. It was kinda sketchy as it came in a galaxy s2 box with only spanish instructions for the s2, but it shipped in time and the phone works and looks great!
thanks for the answer mate,
but its strange, you said its locked? they advertised that they only sell unlocked phones.
Hi,
I bought a Samsung SGH-I927R from canadagsm.ca. It works really well.
Some things:
- they charged a little extra for shipment to Belgium, outside of Canada/US (which is ok, i guess)
- it came UNlocked (AND rooted... which was a nice extra)
- their rooting user account was still the main account of the phone when it arrived, but a factory reset fixed this -without losing the network unlock (if that was ever necessary)
- it is named 'Samsung Captivate Glide' on their site, but it seems that 'Samsung Galaxy S Glide' (which was on the box) is the name of the Rogers version.
- They shipped it with the content description 'cellular phone', so some extra import taxes were paid. :-(
- The GPS issue I read about doesn't seem a problem for me. GPS works as it should.
- The phone should be getting the ICS update, someday (as far as I know).
- The T9-predictive text input is limited to the languages relevant in Canada.
- using 'MoreLocale 2' in the google play store, I was able to add my own, custom 'locale'
- Performance of this device is really good (plays 'Max Payne Mobile', 'GTA3', N64 emulator,... all very smoothly.
Hope this helps.
thanks for the info. as i'm shiping inside canada i'm golden.
and import charges wont effect me aswell - my cousine will bring it with him.
i will buy from them in confidende.
thanks for the help guys.

From your previous messages, it looked you were going to buy from them... me I'm waiting their paypal invoice for a Note 3.
My debit card wasn't working on their website even if they said it should.
didt bought from them cos it was cheaper to buy via amazon.ca instead - my cousin choose for me. but it was over then a year ago so things chagned i presume.
I will report my experience...
I found a N900T on canadagsm for 650 CAD and I asked if if could work with wind mobile and abroad. I asked also if I can pay with debit visa. They confirmed by email. I asked to double-check even if in the ad it was the wind logo in the carriers that it can work with.
The speed of answering decreased after I tried to buy from their website and my visa debit did not work.
After several attempts they sent me a paypal invoices and I paid it on Jan 9th.
It took over 10 days to send me this unit even if it was available and they initially lied about the shipping day and the day they were able to provide tracking information.
I got this phone after 14 days on 23rd and it did not work on wind mobile, even with the settings they told me to put. I asked to be called and never got a call back, so I opened a paypal dispute to resolve.
Now they want me to send the unit back in order to get another but I replied that I prefer to get first a working unit and then I'll send back this to UPS when I get the working one.
Quite upset for that...
CandaGSM are Reliable!
Guys!
I have bought many times from CanadaGSM because they offer best rates, even I have recommend my friends to buy from them :good: Reason! Once i had some issues with the purchase and they sent me return shipping tag (off-course free) and i got new cell on 2nd day. That thing really made me their fan, yes! customer services over e-mail was not promptly but they never taken my money, I got the valued thing for the Best Cheap Rates Thanks

I have bought many times from CanadaGSM because they offer best rates, even I have recommend my friends to buy from them :good: Reason! Once i had some issues with the purchase and they sent me return shipping tag (off-course free) and i got new cell on 2nd day. That thing really made me their fan, yes! customer services over e-mail was not promptly but they never taken my money, I got the valued thing for the Best Cheap Rates Thanks

Did you join XDA just to rate them? I see you joined yesterday and that's your first post, WOW :laugh:
Anyway, I update my experience with them...
In the end, after 1 months of problems, I got a working Note 3, just a different model. I had to send back the previous unit first thought.
They offered to add an additional screen protector and a case, but I did not get it yet.
In the end my suggestion is, if you don't care to wait to much in order to save 100$ you can buy from them, but maybe you'll have to face off some problems on the way.

I was considering buying a phone from CanadaGSM. Did a quick search on Google and changed my mind after seeing the results. As a new user I am not allowed to post links here, but a search for "beware CanadaGSM" should take you to a CrackBerry thread that I've found very enlightening. There are also complaints on other forums as well.
BTW, "Sam Cristoph" also posted to that CrackBerry thread. His post was very similar to the one above. That post was deleted, but you can still read it in quotes, along with a very good response. Go to the CrackBerry thread titled "BEWARE: CanadaGSM.ca purchase help! " and look at post #25 of that thread.
