Hi guys, i know this is not a normal question in these forums but i don't know where else to look.
apart from ebay, is there any other way an australian can get their hands on an htc x7501?
any help is appreciated.
thanx in advance
After extensive searching, the only place I found was ebay. Also, just making sure that you know the X7501 does not have a front camera for video calls. Only the X7500 does.
that would be because the X7501 is only for the North American Market, the X7500 is for the rest of the world, but obviously it depends on orders from the retailers and networks as to whether the distributors will bother to import it.
i would say Ebay all the way, or from a reputable worldwide online retailer such as expansys or someone similar.

WHy do you want a 7501 rather than a 7500? Did you realise the 7501 is the same but just missing the front camera?
Unfortunately, when I asked the same question of HTC on Oct 24, they replied "
"There is no plans for a release of HTC Advantage X7500/X7501 at this current stage. The shift is due for release last quarter of this year, hopefully this will suite your requirements."
The Shift doesn't suit my requirements so I ordered a 7501 from Mobileplanet - it arrived yesterday!
I asked HTC where I could buy Dopod U1000 back in March this year. They replied that they will not be sellin this device in Australia and New Zealand.
They said the Telco in Australia wanted to charge them an arm and leg for 'testing fee', which HTC refused to pay.
So I got mine from Singapore, and found out that no testing is needed. It just worked.
I don't see SHIFT doing well at all in Australia. It's too small to be used as a Vista machine but too big to be carried around. It's too battery poor, and too slow. I do see Advantage/Athena doing very well in Australia. It is almost a perfect device.
Thanx for the reply guys. i know the differences between the x7500 and x7501 but the increase in price just for the front camera is not justified. i dont use video call anyway.
i'll check out mobileplanet, how much did you pick it up for?
also fixerboy, how long did it take to be sent to you from the day you ordered it? and how much was the combined price with shipping in AUD? was there any customs fees?
thanx
Approx $A1200 inc shipping and a 4 in 1 cable - Ordered approx 10 days ago - said backlog was until Nov 22 but the day before yesterday, the tracker said it was backlogged for 9 days - then it showed up yesterday so approx 12 days from order to arrival.
excellent news. i might order it today. i had a look through the checkout process, do you remember which shipping option you chose? in other words, which ones apply to australia? is "rest of the world - 3 - 4 days" the only option available to australians?
also, how did you pay? credit card, wire transfer?
thanx

Well, it hasn't even been officially released, so wait until its released to start looking to buy it. Most dates that say they will ship aren't so reliable.
Look at this site. . .

Ya I remember the Raphael, that was put back about 5 or 6 times. ended up 4 weeks later than originaly expected
Are HTC doing a big announcement for this phone or are they going to keep it on the DL so that the G1 gets all the publicity and be called an Iphone challenger which it isn't the HD I would consider is.
It HAS been officially released. It was officially released by HTC a couple weeks ago and officially released by O2 in Germany today or yesterday or something. Now, if you mean for sale, it is not for sale yet but will be probably within the week.
who are we looking at for a service provider here in the states?
Probably will start with Sprint as they are the primary carrier of HTC flagship phones. After 30 days or so it will prolly be picked up by AT&T and T-Mobile, then Verizon and Altel.

You have it backwards. Released means for sale and what you said means they officially announced it.
Ah k my bad.
Hey guys... good to see the thread up and running for this great new HTC offering. I will certainly be trading in the Diamond, mainly because battery life and camera but also love the bigger screen and I don´t use the D Pad on the Diamond so better to have more screen space!!
Back to the topic....Do you they´ll release it in Asia first like the Diamond? I remember you could buy the Diamond on Ebay from HK about 4 weeks before the official Europe release.
I think Germany has already gotten first dibs on it. o2 is supposed to be the first carrier to get it.

http://pdas.centralpoint.nl/htc/99hhc013-00/touch-hd-wwe-eu/
Updated wiki.
Looks like a vendor has them in stock...
Is electromaticinc.net trustworthy?
It doesn't look like it. Anyone have $600 to gamble?
It is a scam

It now says €577,15
Let's hope the prices keep in this zone. It will be far less than what I paid for the Kaiser I'm currently using. And it's less than the Touch Pro (€ 589,05)
I am currently in US for the next 3 weeks and I am traveling to Australia for one month (perth).
I want to buy the HTC HD2 and I was looking over the Internet to find a good deal...
I found several sites that deliver unlock devices with the price of 180-300$, what I think that those sites are selling a Chinese devices, I don't want to buy a fake device...
I found on froogle (google) the following store for 450$ for unlock device:
http://www.google.com/products?q=htc+hd2&price1=400.00&price2=450.00&lnk=prsugg&show=dd
the store is http://www.xmassupply.com/servlet/the-8/HTC-HD2-Smartphone-Black/Detail
Did anyone knows this store ? are those devices are real HTC HD2 devices ?
Well I want to buy the device but not a fake one.
The best place to buy it, would probably be from expansys or Clove in the UK, and get it shipped to you. That will probably be the most reliable option.

TATA Docomo started selling HD2 on 15th. They say that HD2 will be sold exclusively by them for 7 days. However I could see that the phone is already listed in Univercell.
http://www.univercell.in/english/pages/user/display?mode=product_details&productId=28069
HTC has updated their site with the price and availability info.

thanx i will order my handset from here.....

Univercell Doesnt Have it yet
I ordered through online on 15th Dec in Univercell site. They are saying that they are yet to get the stock and not sure when they will get it. On the other hand in chennai many other stores have HD2 ready to be sold. So call up univercell and enquire about the availability before ordering.

By the way i have ordered from a hk website...but its way too costly than in india. It cost my Rs40,000 plus Rs5,000 custom. And in india the rate is expected to be around Rs36,000. So sad. If i've waited just few more days.

Since I buy for my personal purpose, the customs duty was very less.
It came AED10, which is around Rs.130.
And yes. It was through DHL only and the price I have given is including it.
Tata docomo had a lock in period on the HTC HD2 from December 15th to 21st...they have horrible customer service, who would want to buy a phone from them, specially something so expensive!
from tomorrow onwards, the unlocked versions should turning up, have confirmed with a dealer here in Chennai...
only thing is i am wondering if i can push him to lower the price a bit!
33,638.10 INR here in Switzerland
www.digitec.ch (search for HD2)
Just use any ROM. It does not matter where you buy the phone! Its just the same crap sold in different place!

Officially, it is the latest ROM available from HTC.
Hi everyone,
I'm in Paris - France, and was quite interested when reading Aria related announcement and specs.
Unfortunately I now know this handset is only available in US when being AT&T, and there is no Aria equivalent for Europe.
I went to eBay first but did not find a single device members would ship to France... So here I am,
Who could help me getting this phone ?
Thanks for your answers / suggestions

I'm outside US ... I got a company with a physical address / warehouse @ Miami , that brings me the stuff I buy to my country ! \
I just order things to their address and VOILA ! I wait for a couple of days and @ my hands ...
That's the way to do it ...
