Where to buy unlocked GSM Hero?

Other than ebay, where can I get an unlocked hero? I know there's a site called 'puremobile' or 'purephones' or something... there was a site that I was on yesterday that had unlocked Hero's for $520 which is a perfect price but I can't seem to remember where that was.

LOL they have them on ebay for around 400 or even less if your lucky.

Mind pasting some links? Because I'm looking on EBay and all I see is $550 and up right now.

Have you tried Handtec? i bought my HD from there, dunno if they have a US Site tho

Hmm... I'm not sure if they will ship to the states... Any others?

Puremobile - Canadian retailer
Negri Electronics - I got mine from here. It was already unlocked (the Telus version), so I didn't have to pony up for an unlock code. Ships from Wisconsin

i Would check out play.com or similar sites, they sell unlocked (simfree) handsets , i would avoid ebay or any sites like that

Hello just registered
I am exactly looking for same thing.Please someone help me I will buy from US.
What i came accross was ;
http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Hero-Unlocked-QuadBand-White-p/htc-hero-wht.htm
499 bucks.
But is this site safe ? And i read something like this about them ? But i guess this problem can be solved with ROM update right ?
DO NOT BUY FORM THIS COMPANY. i bought a htc hero, it came in quickly but could only be set up in enlish with three asian countries, no possiblities to be set up in USA or any other country. Once you set up english in either Malaysian, Cambodia, or Indonesia then you get english key board but still has asian symbols so you don't to use full effect of keypad. Also it does not have andriod market or any upgrade programs. i tried to call the company, no answer, then i sent them 8 yes 8 emails asking them to contact me and not one single reply so now my return deadline has passed. i contacted better business beruea and if i don't hear from them soon i will contact them via my brother who lucky for me works FBI in the southern florida district and has police friends to get something moving on this scam. they robbed me of 499.00 dollars and i am not happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO USE THEM.

HD2: How to spot a fake? [Closed]

Hi guys,
How would I know if my intended HD2 buy is not a fake?
Where do I need to look for and what?
Serial numbers?
etc.
-Im from Holland (the netherlands)
-Asking price is 350
-Its a private seller, no retailer and the guy is unknown (besides first name and phonenumber)
-It comes in the original box with all the accessories and warranties according to seller
-Guy sounds legit, when communicating
-I want his HD2, Im a HTC user since 2002 (1e was a Artemis: P3300, 2nd and current: Touch Pro with custom ROM)
-I have great knowledge about an HD2 from pictures/videos/youtube, specs, etc. but never held one in person
Therefore I ask owners or similair intended buyers who know specific things on their HTC to look for what makes it a legit HTC. Is it serials, is it logo's? Things that are really hard to copy to make a fake one.
Kind Regards.
Paul

From where you get it ^^?

Is there a specific model you want?
Where are you buying it from?
Can you touch it before you buy it?
How much are you planning to spend?
Have you seen HD2 videos on YouTube?
Do you know what it looks like?
Do you know the seller?
There are lots of questions you should think about before posting and asking us a very vague question.

Its hardly a vague question is it? Hopefully someone a bit more helpful will be able to offer more advice...

If you go to the HTC web site and look for a list of resellers in your country (you haven't said what country you are in) or go to the web site or store of an international mobile phone company I believe that you would only get a genuine phone. If you buy sight unseen from an auction site or a little known consumer electronics site in a country well known for being able to make fake consumer electronics then you are more likely to be sold a fake. How many people here have seen a fake HD2? I've personally never heard of anyone. Serial numbers can be duplicated, in fact they are sometimes shared in public fora for ROM download purposes so are not all quite as unique as they could be.

Only buy from a trusted reseller- Amazon or one listed by HTC. Here, from a senior member-I'd be hesitant of a noob (no offense to noobs).

get a surname, address and landline phone number, then look them up in directory enquiries. Call them at the landline number you get from directory enquiries.
Not perfect, but can be useful in spotting a dodgy seller.

It's bought! I'm a proud owner of a 3 month old legit Leo (HD2).
The guy was more like a tester like everyone here on XDA than some dodgy tracksuit fellow with a loose phone. (the box with all the paperwork was there, plus he had an extra battery and an 8GB MicroSD card, but he lost the earplug...)
So 350 E is I think not a rip off!
(normal = 492E for a new retailers one and 50E for a 2nd battery + 8GB card)
(3 months old, no wear & tear!, is 542 - 350 = 192 E savings)
I reckon good deal!

16GB T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro for sale!

I have a newly received 16GB Dell Venue Pro (T-Mobile) for sale. I just received it this afternoon. It is factory refurbished from Dell. They swapped out my bricked DVP for this one. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
Shawn

I see this is your second post. I'm new here myself, but I have a feeling that posting a thread that you're selling a DVP is probably frowned upon.
There was a thread posted on here earlier, entitled "your unwanted DVP," with someone in India I believe looking to buy one. but I'm guessing he's looking for the AT&T/international version because of T-Mobile's incompatible 3G band.
My advice -- post it on ebay, get paid through paypal, ship it with delivery confirmation. That way you're covered if the buyer files a non-receipt complaint. Also, don't list it as an auction. Find out the high end of what a perfect condition one has sold for recently and set that as its buy-it-now price. Make sure to get the unlock code via [email protected] (Send the request with your IMEI and Service Tag.) A newish unlocked T-Mobile DVP should go for about $160.
Or you can post on craigslist, but at that point you're just hoping someone near you wants one and they don't know how to use ebay.
Good luck!

ebay listing looks good! Now that I see it I feel like you could raise the price another $10 or so, since it has all the accessories as well. The last one I sold was a 18-month-old 16GB T-Mobile DVP with significant wear, and that went for over $160, but that was also just before the non-upgradable-to-WP8 announcement. That may be affecting prices.

Thanks! To be honest, I really like the DVP and WM7.5 OS. I never had any problems with the phone whatsoever. It's just sad that alot of people soured on it after the initial batch came out. If T-Mobile didn't give me an Amaze 4G for free, I would still be using the DVP.

TechoSquid
The DVP I sent back to Dell was T-Mobile and the one they sent me is a unlocked generic carrier version. Think I can sell it for a little more??

Out of curiosity, if "It has never been turned on or used," how do you know dell updated it to Tango build 8773? P.s. you accidentally said build 8337 in your listing.
Buy-it-now listings almost always go for more than an auction. Why would a potential customer bother bidding on an auction? It's because they're trying to get a lower price than similar listings available for with buy-it-now. Just for future reference.

Warning - don't shop from AliExpress/Origianl Meizu Store

I just want to warn the forum readers from buying phones from the AliExpress-store called Origianl Meizu Store.
The store sells refurbished phones which they claim to be new… The phones has no serial number and the IMEI-numbers are not valid.
Unfortunately I was stupid enough to by a “new” MX4 PRO from them… and I experience a seller that is not interested in helping me. The name of the contact at the store is Kety Wu
My MX4 PRO died today (RIP). There is no way to get in contact with it anymore. It is not possible to turn it on. It does not respond on any combination of keys, and it is not registered when I connect it to my computer
So I opened it... As the pictures shows, it has definately been repaired at some point before it was sold as “new”

I'm sorry to hear that but I'm not surprised. I definitely not recommend to buy any smartphone on aliexpress, only accessories.

I would, but the dispute timer has counted down a short while ago. Tried AliExpress customer service today.... they promised to contact the seller, but I'm not convinced that it will help me

I confirm what you said. I bought my first MX4 in this shop and I suspect the same thing. I had no problem with but I have not kept long as it is hard bricked now (its my fault). But many shops sell refurbished on this kind of product I don't recommend to buy through aliexpress.

Aliexpress isn't always bad, there are some good shops out there. Don't blame it on aliexpress, it's just some shops that sell fakes, clones or scam people.

I'm not saying it's always a bad idea. But there are many shops that sell refurbished phones and it's sold as new. Especially since many do not have products in stock, the shipping delays are long. So it is often a bad idea.

yes if i would buy a phone i definitly wouldn't buy it form aliexpress okay i bought here arduino + some parts relays etc. but for that money i wouldn't pay without paypal

All my meizus are bought in Aliexpress and no problem. The key is to buy reliable sellers

Feel free to share your links to shops, personally I'm interested. And I want to say that often it is not clear that this is a refurbished product, I'm not noticed before disassembly. I even had a sticker that sealed the box...

I have bought 4 meizus from this shops and no problem:
http://es.aliexpress.com/store/900031
http://es.aliexpress.com/store/1194377
One thing you can do to check if the phone is reburfished is to see if the imei of the box matches with the imei of the phone.

aliexpress store NO COSTUM!!!!
i bought mine here : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/342812
if you order from here there is no TAX to EU and DHL shipping is basic.
my MX5 PRO is new (but i guess there are not much refurbished one yet)
seller communicative.

I agree with snoopyrider80.
I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and it got delivered in 8 days, no customs no import tax. What they do is ship from China to the England and from England they then repackage it and ship it to the rest of Europe. And since England is part of Europe, there is no import tax or customs. I can recommend that particular shop also.
