Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.
--
I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]
--
I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]
--
If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...
--
Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated...
In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.
you dont need to worry too much.
Eng and chi version are both available in market.
You can get one from any store.
Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.
Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.
Do u need any other information?
Maybe i can get you a hand.
Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference.
Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA

well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )

HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.

since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?
yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor
Just placed my order at expansys hk and they did not accept my credit card [maybe because I am from Manila, Philippines] anyway I would like to ask our Hong Kong brothers and sisters... is the Qtek 9100 available in retail outlets? i.e. Fortress or Wan Chai computer center etc? I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful

bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )
cheers :lol:
thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!
Not always the best place to buy from but Ebay!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/I-Mate-K-Jam-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
425.00 GBP = 5,662.81 HKD
And i know this one is 2nd hand. but always an option
Hi!
@bnycastro: My post has not to do with your problem at all. Did you have the chance to take a look at the dopod 838 "live"? I promise it looks much better than on any picture. I know this since vodafone is selling exactly the same unit here. I found the pictures awful. But as soon as I had my unit in hands I fell in love... So give it a try...
Greetings from Germany
plant
kjam availability
i am from the philippines too. i was able to buy a second hand kjam from greenhills... you should try looking around in that area... you might just find what you are looking for. good luck
how much did you get your unit for? I was hoping to get a brand new one and figured it might be cheaper in hkg. if i'm not to get a cheap one in hk i will probably get from gh as well... may i ask where you bought it? not in the 'tiangge' [bazaar] i hope?

Yep, friend of mine recently bought Dopod 838 Eng, ~$5800HKD. Interestingly they had to open THREE 838's before it worked. the first two failed to boot up.
Make sure you try before you buy!

You can find QTEK 9100 at Shenzhen HuaQuangBei at RMB4800.
They already baked Chinese ROM but you can change it to English ROM
after you bought it.

Can somene clarify the key differences between (02 Atom) vs (HTC Prophet/JAMin/818 Pro).
All I can tell is that Atom has the original 416mhz processor and 2.7" screen while and the other one has the new slower OMAP chip and 2.8" screen.
Anything else in difference?

Atom is made by Quanta Computer Corporation and not HTC.
Atom has FM radio.
A number of issues with the Atom.

Call Expansys UK and they will ship one for you from Hong Kong. That's what I did. I called them up in Manchester and they got it for me. I only paid shipping from UK to Malta.

How much did it cost altogether?
I'm not so sure they'll ship one from HK as they now list the imate jammin on their UK site.
I think I can get it delivered for less than (5,150 HKD=£375) from Expansys Hong-Kong.
Expansys were expensive when I got my magician last year.
Theirs sold for about £401 excluding delivery.
I bought one from mobilejoker.de for £380 and that price included:
1GB SD card,
UPS Delivery from Germany to England
Cash-on-delivery fee.
Not many people seem to be selling it yet so I may wait a few weeks.
Expansys UK lists the magician for £355.90 but the Hong Kong site should deliver the Prophet for £375.
27, £375 is exactly what I paid for my device. I just ordered it from expansys.com.hk and called expansys UK quoting my order ref no a little later. It was a very simple transaction.
Hi to all, I just want to share with you my odisey to know more about these device, to know when and where to buy this device.
I from Spain, I visit many web page and try to contac serious sellers and all told me we have no idea when and where. We have some bad news about the end of november or earlier december.
Could you please tell me where I can buy a white device???
Hope this post help others to make a easy way to but it.
Thanks a lot.
i've contacted expansys UK n they quoted me 595 euros including shipping to asia, u can try to contact them maybe? but i suggest u wait til it launches in your country as purchasing via the internet u have to take risk
I bouth several devices in Expansys, but always in Spain. By the way, the UK Expansys and Spain Expansys, hope are almost the same, so hope I can buy it at the end of these month.

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then
I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.
Regards
Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

btw here in italy cheapest price is 630 euros!
any of your portugal shop sell trinity with italian language?
selling for sgd1298 about euro650 over here in Singapore
The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...
I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.
>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!
Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.
www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com
Black only
Do you offer discounts to XDA Members?
By the way, Amazon in Germany is selling the Trinity for $590 (no tax).
Do you offer discounts to XDA Members?
no problem in the checkout comment mention XDA-DEVELOPERS you will get free ground shipping USA only.
............Cool!
Is this a good reseller? US warranty?
I was waiting for the bugs to get worked out but I'm starting to twitch
I ordered mine last night through www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com.. He had my order packed up with the UPS tracking info before I even woke up in the morning. I say that's pretty good! I've known many people on the various boards who have purchased through SMG and have been very happy with the service.
Do y'all have it in white? if so then I'm interested.

It's worth to remember that items entering Europe from USA will have to go through customs and import tax must be paid.
Pretty steep price in the U.S., since the Trinity costs 528 dollars in Germany, ex tax and shipping ))

Where? I suppose it is with the German ROM only??
I had a horrific experience with Eten when my Torq P120 died. It took 10 weeks to get a refurb! Frankly, it drove me back to Cingular and I currently have an 8525. The phone I really want is the Trinity though. How do you handle warranty / service with HTC?
@Matterhorn
From current stock, so far black version German ROM only:
www.pdamax.de/
www.mobile-joker.de
If you live outside EU, i.e. near the Matterhorn in Switzerland, you can reclaim German tax of 16% included in all prices. Some dealers might be able to source an English ROM version from their distributor. Good luck.
PS: Just saw your signature, with Swisscom it is clear where you live... But the price in at least the French part of Switzerland is not so bad either, around 550 euros incl. 7,6% (still?) tax...
http://www.infotec-service.com/shop...id=304&zenid=bc6be36be1fc2b6d5cb8158e3412d237
Yes, indeed Eten is a bad choice, their only repair center is in Taiwan...they have to get their act together, the phones are quite good now (i.e. X500 with GPS). HTC on their U.S. website says they only accept repairs sent in through the operators (i.e. Cingular), so you might wanna call them to check the service policy when bought from a respected CA. dealer...

Thanks a lot for the links, Infotec is reputable? The dollar is so low at the moment that CHF 849. = USD 713. So actually USD 649. with no tax and free shipping is not too bad. Of course in the US, you have to order from another state than the one that you live in order to buy tax free.
@Matterhorn
Wow, you are right, the dollar is 1.33 to the euro. So the Trinity would actually cost 573 dollars in Germany, w/o tax. With shipping, customs and Swiss MwSt./VAT it would still make sense to order from Germany, with Euro warranty. Infotec has a quite good name, and they report 100 Trinity in stock...
But up to you, I for my part, and as owner of a Tytn, will wait for a Trinity with official GPS release, if the "standalone" GPS is indeed picking up a live satellite signal. Otherwise I can wait for HTC´s new lineup for Q2 2007, coming here in March 2007, for CeBIT.
Would someone be interested in organizing a group buy? We could have someone in Germany ship the devices to the US, I'll flash the units with English ROM and ship them out to the buyers. It's a win win situation. I'm sure we could get a pretty good price for the units in Germany if we bought them wholesale.

At the moment no-one has successfully changed the Trinity ROM, so your plan sounds a bit adventurous, particularly for those who should trust you sending the stuff back

Adventurous indeed. Well, I was blinded by the beauty of the machine and wasn't thinking clearly. Can you blame me? Is there any way we could get Trinities (plural?) with ROM in English from Germany? Would someone like to look into it, locally? I'm just thinking outloud here.

If you guys find more and have comments on the above links' reputations, please do let me know how safe they are.
Hopefully, the prices would still drop when they fully release the X7510.
For some reason the Dopod U1000 which is the same as the X7500 is a 100 dollars more expensive.
I did see a few UK site with the price ranging from 600 to 660 UK, that's including VAT.

Amazon.com and MobileBee are both out of stck.
Check ebay often. I did and got a great deal on mine.
I just got a U1000 from Hong Kong "3 Shop" for HK$3880 = USD 497. Brand new, no phone plan. They also gave me a HK$100 prepaid SIM card also. Very good deal to me.

Of course not. The "3 Shop" is only in HK (or maybe UK also). They probably trying to get rid of their old stocks so that is why selling for such good deal.

The moment I saw this deal, I jumped at it without second thought. But they only have silver model. I am not in HK now. You should ask a friend who lives or pass-by HK and ask him to get one for you. At this price it is hard to tell if there are any more stocks left in a few days.

Actually, Dopod U1000 (white) can be upgraded officially to WM6 as opposed to HTC Advantage X7500 (black), from what I read somewhere. Please correct me if I am wrong. So, I guess that explains why a brand new Dopod is higher by $100 dollars in price from a brand new HTC Advantage X7500.
Unfortunately, I don't have a friend in Hong Kong.

Well, I just upgraded mine to WM6. It works wonderfully well in WM6 without any lagging.

how easy was upgrading? any special precautions?
did you use the official release or the cook ROMs here?
do you have a link of the download site? Found it: http://www.asia.htc.com/asia/event/WM6/index.html

Yes, that is the site. Just hook up the USB cable and upgrade. Very easy.
Why on earth would anyone use an 'official' ROM?

In my case, if I decide to buy a Dopod U1000, I want to see 1st how the official ROM performs, if I'm not satisfied, then I'll move up to the cooked ROMs.

Can't believe we don't have someone online here from Hong Kong who can buy us some and send them. Easy way to make $50 per unit, I'd pay that
Hopefully when the new version X7510 is fully released, the prices should go down on these babies. Right now, most sites are offering $1100 to $1200, the expected price of the new version is $1300, so it's pointless to really purchase the old version at such a price.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if HTC announced the price of the new version to be $800? That would really make things interesting.
