Thanks

Yes that is legit. But I am sorry I wont be buying it. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay and that is well overpriced. If you want it go for it. But hey I find that overpriced.
How low can I get it for and where?
Also, will I have to wait for english ROM?
Many thanks.

The one on ebay has Operation System : Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone (World Wide English).... so that kinda solves your problem of the english ROM. And it solves another of your problems that you havent mentioned. That is the chinese characters on the keyboard. i am sure you wouldnt want that. But it is $1500USD...
............................................................
The one being sold here by WU15903 whatever his name is.... err he is selling for $1300USD right? But it has a chinese ROM for now not a big deal because you can overflash it. But there is one problem that the keyboard has chinese characters on it. So it is certainly a option i wouldnt choose. Almost the same price. I guess those are the only two ways to get it for you...
...................................................................................................
But if I were you.... I would go onto google. Select preferences and select chinese, japanese, taiwanese and korean languages only. then search for 'buy dopod U1000' and many shops and other places where you can buy it for cheaper. except its all in jebrish so you gotta guess your way through using logic. and maybe you can grab yourself a sweet deal for $1000USD. hmm?
.....................................................................................................
But if you are a lazy guy and dont want to take the trouble of searching. Just close your eyes and go for the ebay one. Although you will face maybe a $300-$500USD loss. But i guess when you get the phone you wont find any flaws in it and will be very happy regardless of the price. So just go for the ebay one... lemme know what you choose.

Anyways going back to the topic. what have you decided fpbiii? where will you buy the dopod u1000 from?
Still haven't decided.
Believe it or not, the dealbreaker will be if it can fit in my pants pocket and I can handle the discomfort.
Can someone please post a picture of this thing in your pocket or something to help me decide. Once I know, I will buy! I like the one on ebay, but paying 1500 is outrageous. I will wait until it comes down around 1100 or so. I would take either the silver or black one.

Ok if you want the black one order it from 972telecom.com. thats where i have also placed my pre-order. Its around $1000CDN on pre-order. Much cheaper than the dopod u1000 and much better. Let me know what you decide. You will have to pay $50-$100 on customs. I agree $1500USD is outrageous. And truly its uncomfortable in the pockets of your trousers. There is a high chance you might damage the screen or keyboard in your pocket. It is like a mini-book in the trouser! very discomforting. I am sure you dont need to see pictures for that
********************************************************************
Let me know what you decide ^^ because i would highly recommend 972telecom.com a store in montreal. Very good store. I will be picking up my black athena from there in april.

so did they say even if the device comes out to be more expensive, they won't charge you more from the pre-order price? if that's the case, then great news. However, when you say it's much better then DOPOD U1000? what do you mean? they are the same? just the colour is different? is that your personal view point again?

Yes all the devices have similar spec's. I just prefer the black one because of the material it uses and I have never possessed a HTC Branded phone before. I dont know how much of your story about dopod is true but they are certainly a huge company like t-mobile. I also like the material HTC used for the body frame part. Anyways the pre-order price is fixed. I can pay it all off now or later. But the price is fixed and i will ask him to send me an invoice/quote to proove it hence.
*************************************************
Regardless, what i find amazing is that htcphonestore.com still retails Universal for $1100USD and Athena is only $1500USD.... i mean like does that mean that not much has changed from Universal -> Athena? Because I find that Universal is only worth maybe $500 - $600USD.

actually, the devices have exactly the same spec. btw have you hold an Advantage in your hand? did you go to the 3GSM? just want to know that.
Well, if the pre-order price is fix, then you can send a e-mail to expansys or mobile planet to tell them to remove their listing of Advantage, because they won't get any order if the price elsewhere is so much cheaper.
Also, this is just my PERSONAL though, the website you place pre-order on, it doesn't look very professional for me, any one think the same way?

why dont you fly to their store then.. and yes i havent held a Advantage in my hand ever. But just so that why dont you call HTC and ask them what material is the body made of? prolly that will satisfy you?

man, i though you have been following the post before, i was one of the tester of Advantage, i actually hold one in front of me before. I don't need to call them, because there is nothing i can find out. Basically, the only difference between them are the colour, material is down to your personal taste, all i can say is DOPOD (probably Ameo as well) is smoother surface, where Advantage is rougher.
One thing i am sure is you will be flashing DOPOD or Ameo Rom in the future.
p.s. And also, i am not saying the store is fake, i am just saying their website doesn't look very professional.

well, if you have place your pre-order, then there is nothing i can say,
although i will suggest any other people who consider buying the Advantage to wait until it's actually in-stock.
If the price is like what nuclear said so much cheaper than the official price, than i am sure all other store will have it as well. Don't rush yourself into this. Better wait and see, maybe you can get a even better deal!
Not much different if you place your pre-order now, you will still get it around the same time.

I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am apparently and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..I put it up for 1 day on eBay - but I will end the listing - if I can - if someone here wants it...
JEEZ ...
OT; which is the most common? Black or silver?
May I asked how much?
I think that [and this is just a guess] that black is more common. Not because silver is hard to get and there are many black ones available but because silver [in my opinion] doesn't look as good as the black because of the black keys. I would prefer the silver one if it weren't for the black keys.

I listed it for $825 .. I paid more. But then, I am in the U.S.A. and we always get the shaft when it comes to cool phones .. Basically I paid $75 to play with it for a day. IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH !!! If I could see the screen I would FOR SURE keep it.

Speaking of phones with wonderful revolution, anyone see the T*Omnia that's coming out? An Omnia with 800x480 resolution... That'd be something to consider. Not to go too far off topic, but I just saw it on Engadget.

Yes it's looks very nice, and with HSPA! Except Korea's UMTS networks are only 2100mhz, so Stateside you might be stuck with just EDGE unless Samsung just happens to make it multi-band.

I'm also interested. It would be nice to know where u are selling it. Maybe a link?
The version listed on Engadget is Korean only, you wont see anything that will properly work in the USA. The Omnia is going to be released soon, sans- WVGA resolution and Tv tuner..
go to settings then screen
and then from screen go to text size
and you should be able to increase the text from that tab
it's at the bottom to the far left
also could enable cleartype which would make the text more clear
Anyone have any extra G1's that they are trying to get rid of? I will take them all.. PM me.

He offered me $80-100, and my G1 is in good condition. I imagine his B.S. "project" is turning around and selling them on eBay for double.

First of all, you choose to sell me the G1 you are not being FORCE to do so.
Second of all, my "project" is for me, nothing to gain profit.
I don't even HAVE a ebay account nor have I ever sold anything online. So don't go around posting "B.S" rumors.
$80-100 seems reasonable maybe to me at least seeing as I got my first G1 for free, mytouch is coming out, the G1's on t-mobile got cheap, and are going to get cheaper once the mytouch comes out. So you can keep your negative comments to yourself kid, and if you don't want to help, or sell,give, etc your G1 stay away from my topic, or I will bring a moderator..
I'm buying my phone from an offshore supplier which dont give the real box or manual.
When it arrives how can I check that its real and not a fake.
Thanks
Also, what rom is better. And which do you recommend me to install?
If you're worried about it being fake, that's the first red flag. The fake G1's I know of don't have a keyboard. They are OKish phones for the price, but are generally made by the lesser clone companies, don't run android are inferior to a real G1.
Have you got an url or something?

Wow, that's pretty good of them, there's plenty of people out there who aren't trying to shaft you, but they hide well.
Probably should just get comfortable with a stock rom for a few days while you're reading up on the scene, then start with the latest stable cyanogen (currently 4.0.4)

Have a look here, you might have a bit more luck selling it.
They seem to sell for a little over £200 on eBay.
Ebay indicates £200-£250. I've kept my eye on a few new ones to see what they go for, and those quoted at £300-£400 don't seem to be shifting at all. I guess people looking to spend top dollar are also thinking about iPhones/Android devices etc.

Aye, it's without a doubt WM 6.5 that's keeping the price down, a shame really.
*edit*Oh I missed the link to the Marketplace in my first post, doh.
Aye, WM has so much potential, especially blended with HTC's Sense UI etc. It's just a shame so many (of the already limited) apps are clunky or useless.
Its a shame that its worth so little, but with HTC releaseing new phones every month there has never been very good resale value for them.
I will be happy with £220 when mine goes on eBay tomorrow. 5 happy years of HTC ownership are about to come to an end!

I'm not sure how that was intended, but I will take it positively
I'm not sad about it, I have loved all of my HTC's but unfortunately I have less time than I used to, to give the phone the attention it deserves. I need something simple and reliable.
I've no doubt I will be back, but for the short term I am excited to try something different. After 5 years of WM, it will be nice to see how the competition do things.
