Tips for buying a Hermes based PDA-Phone

I want to purchase a PDA-Phone based on the Hermes platform A.S.A.P.
I would like to hear the opinions of people that saw more than one version of these devices, in order to make an... "inspired" choice.
There is one limitation though: the PDA-Phone mustn't be one of the ones that were branded by carriers (e.g. I can't buy the Orange SPV M3100, the Vodafone one etc.). There is a good reason for this so there's nothing I can do about it.
One other thing: there's no issue about where to buy the phone. I can get it. Just recommend something nice!
Thank you in advance for all your posts !
Cheers,
Screech

Go to the HTC website, they have a list of suppliers of their phones without a simlock; http://www.htc.com

Can you be more specific as to the exact URL for this list. I looked around and didn't find a thing. Thank you again!

I think your choices are the HTC TyTN or a QTEK. Go to expansys to see the devices, and frankly if cost is no object, just buy from them too.

Yeah, probably you want to give him your bank account information and address so he can order the phone for you on your behalf. And possibly fetch the phone for you from your front door to your bedroom while you lie on your bed
http://www.htc.com/ -> Europe -> Product -> TyTN -> Where to buy?

and it is not stolen came directly from att a month ago let me know

I'm thinking of selling mine. I'm on Tmobile and I miss my Sidekick... Message me

youve got a message!

come on all you people who have upgraded to the kaiser!

there are a lot on ebay, if you want in person that is a diff thing.
But even i found a lot of buyers in person
i would have jumped on the kaiser as well if tmobile had there 3g act together, but im going to be skiping it i guess, until 3g is set in stone and something like the kaiser comes out with vga, reason for vga is that its really great for browsering from what i saw qvga vs vga... it does likee pretty damn cool, i also want some more beef on the cpu and esp gpu, i feel that kaiser is just a little bit of a step up and not worth the upgrade, for that price tag, if doing a contract and getting a great deal then yes or if having a lot of money burning in your pocket that or if your job req the use of pocketPC/pda heavily then ya of course you want the latest and greatest

Also interested
Also interested , even more if it already has Elf's Crackberry. New employer insists on BES .
(I'm a noob who's been lurking for a few weeks. Tinkered with Unix kernel 20+ years ago and admire good engineering work, but I've been on the business side for so long now that I know just enough to be dangerous. )
An easy capability to take the box vanilla would also be useful.
Best regards,

i also used craigslist.org great site for local buy/sell etc... you can also use some other forums... im not sure if were allowed to post other PPC/PDA forums here? but there is a big popular one as well that has a buy/sell forum... which i think is a must... because you get to know ppl here and would trust a times them more so then a random person on ebay or so.

FOR SALE: Xperia (Obviously)

As above, Xperia X1 for sale in the UK.
As new, only a month old.
Some of the speed increase software has been installed, but will do a factory reset. It's the HTC Factory unit, so fully unlocked and brandless.
No need for me to go through the features I hope.
£400 Posted (+Paypal charges if applicable).
Only shipped to UK and no collection agencies to send to nigeria etc.
Collection prefered, Derbyshire area.
Hope this is ok here.
Thanks,
Luke.
P.S. Pictures available, PM me with your E-Mail address.

why are you selling?
are you facing any problems with it?
i already have it and it's really a great piece of art

I want to try something else tbh ...
I've wanted to try a Symbian phone for a while, so thought no time like the present tbh.
No faults at all, it's a glorious phone and good work by SE. I just get bored of things to easily.

Try an E90 out, best piece of hardware i've ever owned! It's a little large, but the keyboard is brilliant and the build quality is top-notch!
I'm sad to see it go, but it was never my phone to begin with

still have xperia for sale?

FREE: my old Universal as i've upgraded.

Yes i'm giving away my old Universal.
i'll even help with shipping
i've upgraded to the TOUCH HD, and want to leave my Uni to someone that could benefit.
the way i figure it, i've loved it since i had 3 years ago and if it wasn't for the hard work of the cookers who cracked the updates and even WinMo6, i would have been a lot less happy.
they're very responsible for a lot of the productivity and fun i've had along the way, which i've payed forward. now this is a little direct payback .
The forum members have been great support too, and this community has been a constant source that fuels the evolution of our Uni's.
Included is :
1) HTC Universal G3 (very good condition)
2) 2gb SD card
3) USB to Mini-USB (for data and charging)
4) Tomal's 8.2 ROM (excellent)
5) 2 stylus' (replacement for the original i wore out!)
6) replacement battery (bought 2008, 1600MaH. original wore out)
*pics upon request*
I'd like it to go to one of the cookers that may need an new/extra Uni for testing, so that it can help with their efforts in supporting the rest of the Uni lovers here.
if there are no takers from any of the cookers, i will happily leave it to anyone else that wants it
now, how do you get it? simple.
for ONE WEEK i invite any cookers to PM me or post here their interest here in a free Uni.
if no cookers want it, then i'll accept interest from anyone else that cares to have ask for it.
p.s.
my partner upgraded to a Samsung Omnia, if anyone wants a free Nokia 7710 give me a prod

I'll take both, cover shipping, and give you something for your troubles if you u have them.
-Mc

I am very interested!
Hope you consider this request
%Thanks in advance

some people already PM'ing and posting here.
i'll keep the option open for a single week to let more prospective people get a chance as i want the devices to go to the best person for the greater good.
all people responding are automatically "on the list" to be chosen.
happy bidding (wait, wrong website)

greeting from hong kong
looking for replacement for my uni. my uni RIP need to rewrite boot loader

first i have to say that you must be the kindest soul in the human race to want to give your handsets FOR FREE and not sell them on ebay..
and second becouse i loved it,becouse i admired it and becouse i cant live without a touch screen and i want it like mad.. PLEASE SEND ME THE NOKIA
cheers.
ps
i live in london

well i believe the small amount of money i could sell it for on Ebay (a few hundred dollars AU) and how i could invest that much money, compared to some that can actually use a free device for the greater good is no comparison for me.
there's an Ebay sale HERE where the person has a great offer for a complete Uni with accessories, for a reasonable price.
seriously the value of a few hundred bucks means little to me compared to the value of the device in the best hands.
think of it like:
*giving $300 to a starving stranded man on an island.....or giving him a $50 picnic hamper.
*or, a wealthy person giving $10 to someone in need, compared to a poor person giving $10 to someone even more in need.
there are many energy forms of value, depends who you're relating to and how. that much money in my life isn't worth much, those devices in other lives could mean a lot.
So there's no loss for me, i've already gained enormously from the device and i already have a replacement. i have an efficient upgrade.
someone can benefit a free device/s and gain enormously. an efficient upgrade too.
just sharing the energy

well consider yourself on the list simply by your interest
i'm glad there are people wanting the Nokia, i thought it would be difficult to find interest as it is a phone that not many people liked when it came out.
i'm happy these devices will goto good homes

try PM again, if no success just post here.

Hello, that's a very generous thing from you, there should be more people like you out there
I would like to have your UNI, but reading the forums here I saw theseas's posts about being scammed by shakal007, so it seems he lost his UNI. I don't know, but maybe he could get a replacement by you If he wanted, of course....

I think this is a very good idea as well, it must be bad to loose something this way in good faith!

Wow! I agree with the person that said you have to be the kindest soul. You're a shining example of niceness and I hope it rubs off on all of us. Thanks for your shining presence.

Put it in bootloader mode. You can see small note at the bottom of the screen, if it starts from 1, then its G3. If it starts from 2, then its G4.
