Order your HTC Athena here !!!!

Hi everyone, i am getting more and more people asking me about HTC Athena so i decide to post a new thread about it with all the information.
From the information i heard and from what people are saying in 3GSM, the HTC Advantage and T-mobile Ameo won't be available until beginning of April at least. And also they have lock it to t-mobile network, and currently there is no unlock method for it.
The only Athena available (unlock to any network) is the DOPOD U1000 in Taiwan, it's the same machine just under a different brand. It's got silver finish like the Ameo, (i heard the finish is much better than Ameo, it's got metal finish) so if you are after the black one, you need to wait for Advantage.
************HTC ADVANTAGE RELEASE DATE IS PUSH BACK DUE TO UN-STABLE ROM, POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE NOW CHANGE TO END OF APRIL OR BEGINNING OF MAY ***********
************T-mobile Ameo is out in UK!!!! But it's lock to T-mobile UK, and is with contract only (starting from £35 per month !!! Yes you won't be able to buy it without contract ! Even in the future......but for people who are t-mobile customer or for people who want to sign up new contract, this is your moment !*************************
***********Because T-mobile Ameo is out in UK, which means...........yes !!! Dopod u1000 user will get their english Rom very soon! *********************
Since DOPOD U1000 is already available in Taiwan, and my family is there, so i can do you guys a favor of ordering for you. My parents are the direct reseller of DOPOD, so the price will be a little bit under the Market price, which is £600 /$1150 . It will be cheaper than expansys or Mobile planet, but most importantly, it's available now, so you can get it if you don't want to wait.
So this is how it works, i don't have the machine with me so once i get your payment or deposit, i will order one for you, because they don't ship internationally, once i order, it will shows up at my parent's office next day, and to save time, they can ship out directly to your country on that day, it will take about 4-5 days for it to arrive to US OR UK. So once you pay, you should get it within 1 week.
Now for the payment, i accept all kinds of reasonable suggestion, but please understand one thing, since i am doing the favor for you guys, i won't risk myself and nor i am trying to make a profit on it. So if you don't feel comfortable, don't do it. I have an ebay account, i can put a private listing on then you can buy there, or if you are in London, i can meet up and hand you the machine with cash, or you can transfer money to my bank account, then i ship out the item for you. For UK buyer, i will also accept postal order. If you decide to pay by paypal, you will need to add the extra tax on, which is 3% i think? (need to check on that)
Now this is what you will get, the DOPOD U1000 Silver Athena with CHINESE rom, yes it's chinese ROM, you can surely change it to english rom later. The keyboard layout is exactly the same (unlike german keyboard) but there will be small chinese symbol on it, it's how we use to type chinese. It won't make any difference if you don't use it. Of course the manual will be in chinese, but i think there will be english part on it as well, or you can download from internet. The charger will be in chinese charger (the same as US one i think, but not sure), all you need to do just plug in a converter or buy a new adapter. And don't forget, you can always use to USB to charge your PDA as well.
So after reading all this, if you still want the device, let me know, or PM me, or post question here, i will try my best to help.
I just got a confirm that the postage to US, UK, and similar country will cost £50, i will be able to put the parcel as gift, so you should be able to avoid customs Tax. I might can put the price down if a large amount of people want it, or to ship to the same country.
p.s. The phone is unlock to any network, so no matter where you are, you can use it with no problem.
******Ok, i have received quite a lot of message regarding about shipping cost, they all cost around £50, but for some special country, they might cost more, it's impossible for me to check each postage for you, since i don't know the answer as well. So i will say the postage will be a fix price of £50 to any country, but if it works out to be far more cheaper or expensive, i will let you know **************
!!!!!!!!! Although i will try my best to avoid custom Tax for you, if you get charge with custom Tax, i won't be responsible for it ! so please understand this point !!!!!!!!!
****It seems like a few member here are looking at the HTC Advantage selling on Google, it is your own risk to buy it there, but i must inform you they are 99% fake, i have spoke to HTC, and have official confirm that the HTC Advantage won't be out until beginning of April. So don't be foo by the price there and waste the money, don't believe me, look at the list of item that seller is selling, he se selling the Apple iPhone! you make the call *******
p.s. Here is a link with nice Photo of DOPOD U1000, and this is what you will get if you order it from me. http://www.go3c.com.tw/
p.s. I have just received mine, wowowow, the build quality are much nicer than i expect. And also Unlike the Ameo, the DOPOD U1000 is brighter metal finish. I have attach the pic of what you will get if you order soon enough, the DOPOD U1000 + HTC Stereo BT Headset
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, i think there are a few confusion here about the language and english rom update ability. The DOPOD U1000 is in chinese, if you are a heavy PDA user, then it shouldn't be a problem since you already know which icon does what. And the new software you install yourself will all be in english. But if you want all your menu and settings to be in English, you can install the CE-STAR SUITE, like this one : http://www.expansys.com.hk/p.aspx?i=144165 . It basically translate all the User interface into english, so all your setting will be in english. Or the final and most complete way is to do a ROM upgrade to english ROM. Dopod u1000 will 100% have no problem doing the english Rom upgrade, so why don't people do it now? It's because English Rom is not out for Athena yet, or in another word, Athena is not out in english market yet. That's why some member here choose to buy it from me, they will use their machine now, and when English Rom is available, they will upgrade it.
So When is English Rom available? Answer is simple, when Ameo is out in UK (not anywhere else) or when Advantage is out,then you will be able to use their ROM to upgrade to english.
I hope this is clear enough, have been seeing too many confusion in a few thread.....
****Latest Update! English DOPOD is now possible, look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299176. No need to worry about the chinese interface anymore, all solve d!!! ******
7/4/07 update: faisal has comes up with a cab file which will translate your chinese DOPOD into english, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1212411&posted=1#post1212411 . So for people who is waiting for english solution, this is your time !
I have also attach a today screen of my DOPOD U1000, which running the software i install, see all in english !

Will it work with Fido/Cingular/Virgin mobile/Rogers/T-Mobile SIM's? Is it unlocked to work on those networks or only on Dopod? I like that price. I am ordering one. I dont care about the keyboard. Although I think that I will be keeping this phone for 5 - 10 years so i want a black one. >.< T-Mobile Ameo is going to be black. I think i will wait another month or so for a black one. I like that price though $1000 USD best price!

Well, if you understand chinese, you can order them online, but the problem is they don't ship internationally, that's why i need to ask my parents to help me, they live in Taiwan. The cost of the machine is £600, and the shipping is around £50, if i get charge far more than £50 for shipping, i will let you know. But £650 should be all

Good news!
Here is a good news i heard from my friend, who is happily using his DOPOD U1000 Now.
He has reported that the Dopod u1000 is EXTREMELY stable, after 80 third party software installed on his machine, it's still running very smoothly.
Another good news is apparently, the build quality of DOPOD u1000 is higher than expected. I here confirm again, it uses a different material than T-mobile Ameo, the DOPOD U1000 has a metal finish which boost up the feel of this machine.
Man, i really can't wait now, if i am lucky, i should get mine tomorrow

i don't really care about the magnates, it shouldn't do any harm, otherwise this product won't even be on market. As i say before, if you only want black one, wait for HTC Advantage, it will be out at the beginning of April.

well, at the moment, the DOPOD rom seems very smooth and bug free. It's quite unusual they produce such a good rom in the first go. Anyway, as i said, if you want the black one, you should wait for Advantage, if your contract is due to end, consider the Ameo as well, otherwise you should consider getting the Dopod u1000 from me

you say the quality of build is better
because the rom's problem can repair, but the device buliding no
I see the U1000 and Advantage in pictures, and maybe U1000 really be more nice than U1000
If you see, please tell me, what is your opinion about that

Look guys, i only going to say this onee more, those HTC Advantage are not real! The Advantage is not out yer, you can confirm that by e-mailing HTC yourself. It won't be out until beginning of April. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G, do you believe it? you make the decision! Don't waste your money there......please

Yup i agree. That looks fraudulent. Wire transfer... I dont trust it at all. Anyways i will email the person asking for proof or payment via paypal with buyer protection upto 2000USD. Maybe that will keep me safe. The 8G iPhone really looks fishy and bs!

X7510 in stock in UK

This is earlier than I thought - is this real stock or preorder???
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1024/htc-advantage-x7510

It sure looks like it is in stock. Why not call them up?
So now we know why you sold your X7500.
...

Ha! Ha! No still not sure if I'll buy one yet, that wasnt why I sold. I'm a bit addicted to smartphones and UMPCs, i'ts not unusual (although some would argue it is stupid!) for me to buy a phone and then sell a few days later. Over the past 12 months I've had:
T-mob Vario, T-mob Ameo, TynTnII, P3300, Trinity, Blacberry 8310 (still got), S730, (another) Advantage - the one I sold again, a Shift, 3 different eeepcs (black 701 Linux, white 900 Linux, White 900 XP)....mmmm I think thats it but might be more. Now considering either the X7510 or the Diamond....anyone??
The Handtec call centre is only open un til 5:30pm, hence I havent called yet - I have a feeling I might in the morning....although if this post gets read I won't be the only one!

If this is true, then I guess On The Go Solution's stock might really be coming tomorrow here in the US. I sure hope to see more hands on reviews.

I dont understand why any athena owners are excited by this phone, it is a downgrade IMHO from the X7500, I use my navi button all the time.

not to mention the solid state 16 GB memory. To us here in the US, the price difference is only $100, so even with the buttons on the X7500, it does not justify the price. Their milking it too much.
others might say...mini SD or micro SD cards are now cheap... YES that is true, but you loose the ability to hot swap your cards, especially if the hard drive starts acting wierd and you have no other option but to use the card as your storage for applications. YES, you can use the 4 in one cable to attach peripherals, but of course, I wouldn't be carrying that thing in my belt pocket.
To me, the added peace of mind not worrying about the hard drive going nuts is a worthy cause to go for the X7510, especially for 1st time buyers.
...

GoSolutions.com wants $1299 for 7510
If GoSolutions.com is USA, then the $1299 price they are asking is $500 more than the X7501 and NO JOG STICK or BUTTONS. It is a ridiculous price. I have about half of my 2GB SD card free and about 6GB of the MicroDrive to go.

selling my brand new xperia x1a (US version)

the phone is brand new in box. i'm located in south florida (ft. lauderdale). Local pick up price: $650
Priority shipped in US: $675

Selling it???
is there anything you don't like about it?....I own a X1A too..I love it except for the price I paid $861 with tax...

I paid $411 for mine new and unbroken packaging black xperia

@FrezoreR, you got an amazing price, i'm assuming you got it subsidized?! lol, if i got it for that price i'd keep it as a back up
@neo3424: The phone is great, but honestly, after getting used to the Touch HD's AMAZING screen, its really difficult going back to anything smaller. I also found myself typing quick and accurate on the touch hd's on screen keyboard. i cant afford to keep both, so i decided to sell the xperia.
btw, for those interested in buying, i'll also include my bestbuy receipt (dated 1/30/09), so you can still go back and purchase the extended warranty if you wish.

sell my HD to buy an iphone?

i'm hacked off with windows mobile so probably going to sell the HD
has anyone looked at selling theirs to buy a iphone?
i'm after a 16gb model
anyone know if i'll be able to get enough for a mint HD to buy a new iphone?
i'm sure others have looked into this before
i'm in the uk if that makes any difference

Considering how long ago the HD was launched I can't imagine that it will sell for top dollar.

the highest offer i got on my HD that i recently put on ebay was 475 plus 20 shipping. I relisted because i want at least 500 for it.

I sold mine is feb for $690 on ebay and bought an iphone. You will get enough for an iphone for sure (at contract price).

Will buy the new iPhone 3GS regardless of whether I get good price for my HD or not. Will also keep my iPhone 3G 16GB for my family. Everyone of them wants me to pass to them.

cheers guys
Its about 1 month old as i had it replaced, and is in mint condition
its not however unused, but you cant notice that it has been
Will the prices of a pay as u go iphone (non S) drop when the S is released
How long will i have to wait?
Currently i think i can get a 16gb model for £340
so i'm hoping i can get that for my HD
cheers

You shouldn't have a problem selling it for at least £350... I was monitoring the HTC HD up till 2 weeks ago (I got mine last week, finally got it under contract from O2) coz I was thinking of getting one without contract..
All the phones were going for above £300, even the ones where it's been 'used' for a week or a month...

Might be selling mine on ebay after I get the TP2 with Tmob USA!

why dude whyyyyyyyyyy?
put a dutty or miri rom on and you're golden.

Good luck with your fruit.

Have you tried ebay?
Off topic. Hey homer that is a beautiful American Pitbull you have looks alot like mine but mine but with less white, to bad idiots and the media give them such a bad rep.

i've no doubt the hd is better in terms of specs etc
however, i want something that is quick to use, and doesn't give you rsi as you need to put a fair bit of pressure on the screen
who knows, i maybe back in a month!!!

You wont be back in a month trust me you wont be back to the HD at all.

lol, I've used the iPhone 3G for some months and now I'm back to the Touch HD and probably won't get an iPhone again (at least I definitely won't get the 3GS, I'm waiting for the Samsung i8000 or the Acer F1).
The iPhone is still way too limited. At least it's got copy&paste and voice control now but the camera still sucks, it still can't download things from the internet, the display resolution is still bad and lots of other things that were disturbing me.
Unlike the iPhone, my Touch HD does everything I want (except for good pictures in low light) and there's no situation where it lets me down because Windows Mobile is limitless.

Selling TG01

i was wondering if any1 wants to buy the TG01 before i hand it back to orange.
too much time wasted and makeing me nuts
any1 interested?
Thanks in advance

How much with shipping to US? Thanks

How much?
How much are you asking for your phone? i live in cornwall u.k.

How much ar eyou offering? Also it's best to put it on e-bay to avoid fraud complications.

yer, eBay looks good
It would be good if you could put it on eBay, as it would make it a lot easier for anyone to buy it.
Then post a link on here
I'm very interested - i still don't have one...

Why does it have to be ebay? Fraud is just as likely on ebay as it is on a forum. Doing a trade without ebay is much better, no ebay fees, no paypal fees, the price is normally better for the buyer, and less hassle for the seller.

as you see i aint really used it as much, so mint condition
it is also unlocked to all networks
i want £190
sorry for the high price
thanks for the intrest!!!!

Wasnt this phone originally only £150 on orange new payg? Then cost £10 to unlock? Imo, i think you would be better of posting on the marketplace forum, there ppl who havent got tg01 will be unaware of orange price and buy it.
Best of luc

tbh, i am not sure. you probably will and to phone up orange and ask. if anything, you night probably have. To pay MOREffor the desire and trade in,,, as the device is very probably and a better device than the TG01 in the general opinion of ppl.
just give orange a ring.

i gave orange a call and they said to me that you cant get another phone. but informed them that i dont want the phone becuase this will be my 3rd TG01. so he said 2 me that he will inform the billing team for more details.
are you aware of anyone receiving another fone instead of the TG01
Thanks

Nah that offer was for a limited number of units and some guys thought smart and bought 20-30 units and are selling them for over 170 pounds each. I'm talking about new ones in their boxes. When I bought mine for 185 the guy had 10 more phones and after a week or so i ordered a second one from the same seller for a friend of mine that saw it and got jealous , and there were 2 last items for sale. They are selling like fresh bread

Very good price and the right choice ! You bought it the right time too, now that we have finally entered the TG01 Rom cooking era at last after one year of nothingness since it first came out. Now there's plenty of stuff to play with, new roms crop up every day
*The seller doesn't have much of a score in pos. feedback though, i hope he doesn't give you a headache

I looked at the feedback too, it's just a couple buyers that wanted the phone to be posted abroad, or something...I hope it's ok...
I'll try Nokser's rom when i get it..hopefully today or tomorrow

if you phone orange with your tg01, you will just get another tg01, i have tried for a week to get a new handset and i have had 3 tg01's. orange are not replacing them with the hero/desire/xperia or anything
just sell it for £130 and be happy
