Mobile Joker and others: Don't waste your time

Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those German jokers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

Sharrap!!
It's 380 Pounds with a 1Gb SD Card. Otherwise, it's £324 for the Compact alone.
The German version comes with a 2 year warranty compare with the 1 year Imate warranty.
Also, the MDA Compact doesn't have the sound quality issues the Jam has. You really ought to make sure you know what you're talking about before you call the German people "jokers". :evil: :evil:

What do you work for them?
Firstly, the sound issue will be fixed in the next rom update, so WHO CARES?
Secondly, wouldn't you rather deal with pleasant old Amazon than a bucket shop who promises you the world and then sends someone to your door to collect cash because they cannot even accept credit cards?
Lastly, who on earth gives two sh*ts about a two year guarantee? After one year, you chuck the phone, it's obsolete, and you get an upgrade?
Would really be happy with an guarantee on an xda 1 today??????
Come on...

You really need to keep the swearing out.
Regarding the sound, it's not only a Rom issue. If you knew what you were talking about youu'd know that in some cases, it's a hardware issue and not a ROM issue. That's why many people are on their second and third Jams from Expansys after returns.
I care and many others do.
Not everybody would rahter dea with your "plesant old Amazon" some people prefer to buy at a better price.
The warranty does matter. Maybe you will throw your Jam away in a year but most of us won't.
Your points really make no sesne at all. Would people really throw their PDA away after a year? People "don't care" for an extra year's warranty? I don't think that even YOU agree with them!!

I have bought my MDA Compact from MobileJoker.de (i'm french), and i'm very satisfacted ! The shop was very professionnal, and respond quickly to emails...
My MDA was "bought" on a friday night, and the next thursday, i've received it via UPS.
All for 472 euros including shipment in paying at delivery.
Thanks MobileJoker !

is there an english version of this website, i don't speak german and i have no idea what it's saying. I clicked on the jam and it took me to a page and when it came to payment details etc. i couldn't understand a word. any help would be appreciated. cheers

I also had a good experience with MobileJoker and no complaints.

I used a translation website.
Email them if you need more help.

if i can help you with german go ahead.
besides that i also ordered from mobilejoker.de but with plan for 93EUR.
@mikeycollins13
i think c.o.d is a very good and save method to pay for goods.
we in germany also often uses automatic debit transfer.
and i understand that island monkeys didn't know value of a guarantee.

Please explain the logic of the statement above.
You are not making any sense at all.
You're telling us that it's stupid to go for a lower price, longer gurantee and better device (better ROM and no hardware or software sound issue).
It seems that you don't know much about life outside the UK. There is a lot more to the world than the UK. COD is common in Germany, It makes sense not to part with your money until you have your purchase Do you intend to argue with that too?
2-year warranties are common in Europe unlike the UK. Mobilejoker are "safe and reputable". Just because you haven't heard of them-you that doesn't know much of life outside the UK-doesn't mean that there are not. There is a lot more to the world than you think. Is it not "safer" to hold your money until you hold your PDA????????
I think it's time for you to admit that you're wrong.

Their price is excellent - if I buy one, will it be in English or German though? In other words, what am I NOT getting by buying from mobilejoker instead? English manuals I can live without - I can download those - but is the handeld, german?

i think it is in german, but it is easy to put a english firmware on it.
but i don't know, maybe they ship international the english version.

does any1 know if the audio problem with the imate models has been fixed?
what is the problem anyway, just in case i get the phone and not realize that it is faulty and assume that that's how it is.....cheers

Only thing amazon do better is delivery time, where they excel. Mine just arrived today from mobilejoker - 1 week delivery via UPS from germany. Exactly as stated on the UPS site.
TOO expensive from amazon though, and up until about a week ago, they didn't have stock.

HTC, T-Mobile & Dopod pricing demistified...

Don't worry all, it's all good. Let me start with the confusion by quoting a fellow Xda members concern about pricing, that was shared by myself and doubtless countless of other potentially interested purchasers of the new Athena, known as HTC X7500 (due out in April sometime), T-Mobile Ameo (available now) and the Dopod U1000 (available now in various parts of Asia).

Right then....just had a rather lengthy discussion with T-Mobile about this. The information for the Flex 35 offer is absolutely legit!!
That's right 100% correct!!
I was going to send mine back and have this deal, but in the fullness of the contract, the price works out to be exactly the same...down to the penny!
Basically I get 1/2 price discounts on my bills due to my ties with T-Mobile, hence I pay more for the device..but it all amounts to the same, except I get considerably more minutes etc per month.
Bottom line: If your going to be a new customer to T-Mobile and can comfortably afforf the £40 + per month, it is a fair deal. Total cost for the device and perks of the Flext tariff work out to £839.00 or thereabouts.
Compare that to £600.00 for the cheapest deal the Dopod U1000 (add shipping cost), then your really only paying less than £239.00 for the contract over 18 months which equates to 239/18 = £13.20!!
It will actually work out less than that as in the Dopod U1000 you still have to pay for shipping.
So in reality, your paying (e.g) £600 for the device and about £12.00 per month for the tariff.
Another way to look at it is tariff is £42.50 x 18 = £765.
Therefore £839.00 - £765.00 = £74.00 (for tariff benefits)
74/18 = £4.11 per month over 18 months for Flex 35
Apparently HTC will be selling the X7500 Advantage for a bit over £700.00 SIM free, but no other perks like free minutes etc...hence the inclusion of TomTom6.
They all work out to be roughly the same. You get what you pay for and none is actually cheaper than the other.
You simply have to chose which 'package' best suits your needs. Whichever version you buy, no one has got any cheaper than you as we don't know their payment history and Loyalty points awarded in the form of £'s discounted and for what reason they got high or low discounts.
I get low discounts on upgrades or new device/contract, because I always get 1/2 bills on contract tariff, but someone else may have several low cost tariffs, but pay the full bill and thus gets a higher Loyalty reward in discounts (this applies to service providers only).
You may seemingly get the device considerably cheaper at T-Mobile or at a small SP signing you up with T-Mobile, but with a less fulfilling tariff or at a higher rate.
It all sounds terribly confusing, but it's actually quite simple when you think about it and makes perfect sense.
None of these companies lose, but neither do the customers, as we have different 'packages' or 'bundles' with service providers or sellers of other variants of the Sim free Athena.
It all works out fairly in the end....trust me.

WTF!!!! Your post is Very long & 99% garbage.... i dont want tomtom 6 in my htc x7500. also i dont want any whatsoever accessories with it. i only want the pocket pc possibly without the box so the price cuts down. bloody hell they prolly charge me £100 more for the tomtom sheit. Also the gps sux in athena. it heats up the device so much and drains the battery like mad sheit. i am going to disable gps and use my holux gps that i bought for my universal. also i already have tomtom 6 which is basically free on the net and you can download maps. who dont know how to do that can buy the sheit for £100 whatever (noobs). So the device really costs only £450-£500!!! hahahaha. Whoever get HTC X7500 for £700-£800 getting madly ripped off.

man, what he say is very true, he basically just break down the price for all these three device. Advantage will cost the most, yes it will be over £700 so you won't get it under £500!!! Beside, i have the DOPOD U1000 with me and i can tell you this, GPS works really good, no heating up at all and is the same speed as my TomTom official BT receiver.
So if you really want to wait for the Black one, be prepare to spend over £650 at least!

I'm beginning to realize from your posts that you really are a bit of a trouble maker and wind-up merchant. You don't seem to contribute anything of value on this forum until someone else has already done so. You only appear to be retarded, IMHO based on your comments...your actually quite immature and selfish in your way of thinking.
You don't even seem to consider that posts are meant to be of use to others. You haven't even got your X7500 yet do you? If you have, you should change your signature to reflect this and secondly...check yourself...because you obviously don't even understand the 'long' posts.
There is a huge difference between being pedantic, boring and detailed in ones instructions/description of things. You seem to comprehend only boring...showing your lack of maturity. Oh and for the record, my verbal abuse is a deliberate act of showing my frustration of some peoples stupid and thoughtless expressions of their flawed way of thinking or lack thereof.

Oh yes..that is what wu has been referring to all along concerning the X7500's ROM...it doesn't handle writing to the Micro Drive well, with all sorts of issues, hence the delay in it's release. Hopefully they will have it sorted in time though.
My thread about WM5torage is not about WM5torage, as it is not knew software, but it is a brilliant workaround for direct file transfer to the built-in (non removable Micro Drive).
Hope you understand us now. You'll see anyway, when your X7500 comes.

finally, the fight is over.....anyway
mackaby007, the problem on your Ameo is not the same as Advantage, your issue is new and never been reported by the tester.
Let me say it clear again, the Micro Drive problem that the Advantage has is to do with their Rom, the problem is, for example if you are watching a movie from your Micro drive on the road, and you accidentally shake by any means, the Micro Drive should stop working for a tiny mini second and resume working after that. That's what Ameo and Dopod is doing, but with Advantage, it's not doing that, it doesn't stop at the correct moment and it doesn't resume correctly, this wrong behavior actually make the Micro Drive drain more battery and result in more bad sector on the Micro Drive. I can insure you this problem will be solve before they release it.
Anyway, i don't really care how much you will get your Advantage for nuclear, you haven't got it yet. And no, i do not want to swap mine to yours because i don't want the black one, so i simply don't care about it.

Hi,
Just wondering if there is any invoice/ bill can show to the community that the device is less than 750USD (1000Candian dollar)
I am very interest to see as I just get rip off by my telco in Hong Kong.
(1000USD with accessories included)
BTW, for people interest about the pricing, Hong Kong list price is 9880HKD with accessories pack. (GPS.. etc..)

no one got it at 750 USD right now, apart from the T-mobile Ameo, but that is with contract. The person who says he got pre-order for 750USD, well, he hasn't got his device yet. I think the price you got are pretty reasonable. The best price i can get for DOPOD U1000 in taiwan is £600

Spoke to Mackaby007 about selling it for devs but he's sorted a cheap one for now. I'd keep hold of it for that purpose but I could do with the money at the moment.
There are differing opinions on what a good price is at the moment but I'm sure I'd be cheaper than most for a virginal Ameo. Just looking for one or two offers to deliberate.

It is indeed, an upgrade from one of my contracts.
Believe I should be able to get it subsidy unlocked, though how worthwhile this would be depends on how long it takes for a free solution to come about.
Was looking for around 450. Good price I think for an untouched device from a T-Mobile shop, but I'm up for negotiation.

come on people lets see some offers
remember its never even been turned on, still factory packaged.
can supply photos on request. My email is [email protected]. Paypal and specil delivery shipping available.
Lets have some offers.....

Part Ex considered
Forgot to mention in my last post - I will accept an N95 in part exchange, providing it is either unlocked or on t-mobile and not faulty!
I am based in the Midlands in the UK. Collection is preferred as it makes things a lot more straightforward though I will obviously arrange postage if this is the preferred option.
In the case of serious offers PM me and I will forward my phone number if the offer is acceptable.

Because using "G's" is a marketing ploy. AT&T market's its HSPA+ network as being "4G" even though it's basically a refinement of "3G" UMTS.
So, to the average consumer, who doesn't know/care what the difference between "4G" and "4G LTE" is, they just think they're buying the latest and greatest.

I and a few of my friends have dealt with www.networkingrus.com. They are legite. Customer support is the best of the best. Check out their warranties also. Well worth picking up the accidental warranties. I've smashed 3 phones and it only cost me $25 each time to have them completely repaired.

Thanks for your introduction, If I want to buy, I'll think about it!!

Thanks for the link! Cheaper than ebay and amazon PLUS warranty! Looks like they'll be getting my business.

Why wouldn't you just get a new one from Negeri's eBay page for $679.50 with $13.59 back in eBay bucks? Net cost = $665.91. With a 14-day return policy?
Just curious. Of course, this assumes you are in the US.

From the site it's 669 for the note 2. So only marginally more than eBay. Plus I can add accidental warranty. I emailed the site with some questions about warranty and they responded at 1am their time within like 30 minutes. That deserves my business.

Is http://itcomputes.com/ (DEEJA) scam or legitimate?

They are offering Galaxy S7 Edge for 600.00€ (£439.85) and with a Gear VR http://itcomputes.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-32gb-black
They accept paypal only for orders above 3000€, for single mobile they accept credit card or money gram. http://itcomputes.com/payment-methods
Any experience with this online shop?
Thanks a lot in advance

Looks shady to me!
Searched around, could only find one review of the site on Trustpilot which looked like it was written by the owner of the site. No other information anywhere, except an address in Canada on Google Maps (which is probably unrelated).

Indeed, so unless somebody has a good experience so I'm staying away. The price is too good to be true and without paypal guarantee it is risky. Thanks for the reply.
