I'm in China,I'm gonna buy a new shift,but it doesn't release in Chinese market yet.....Someone could recommend somewhere I can buy it?I can pay it by paypal.
And I have a question about the GSM,is it possible to make a call via.HTC Shift?
Regards,
Brose
the shift seems to be unreleased yet ... but could come very soon.
I have found a new piece of information on the Expansys site :
http://www.expansys.fr/p.aspx?i=154231
It seems the it will comes at the end of the month ... and I think that France will be the first country to get the Shift. I'm waiting here in Belgium and all the stores do not have any information about the release date..
About the phone options .. if you look at the HTC site in the Support tab, you'll see that SMS are working but not the phone (by default). But here we are pretty sure that we will be able to make it able to make and receive calls... but we have to wait to get some devices to be sure about it.
I hope I have fully answered your questions.

Hi,koala996....Really really thanks for your help,man!
Frankly I found there have some sellers in ebay.com that they are selling HTC Shift,but I'm confused that their device just is 20GB hard disk,I noted the HTC Shift is 40GB hard disk from the HTC Website....Holy****! What's its exact version??
Wow...U awesome,men! I do hope u will work the phone call feature out in future. Cheers!

Shift is available in some stores
look here : http://www.cel.ro/pda-gps/pda-htc-shift-l/
price is 1210 EUR
HTC Shift
In fact HTC Shift is already in some countries. But they are kept with the distributors they are not allowed to pass it on to the shops yet. The reason is because they wanted other shops around the world to compete fairly, rather than speculate on it.

HTC SHIFT
800MHz, 1GB, 40GB, Vista Business, EU Andere UMPC › Devices Ca. 4 Dagen €1.259,95
Just like all of us they have been very optimistic in their assumptions for a delivery date.
And time after time they delyed it...
But as you mentioned, we will see...
on expansys, the release has been push back once again, man.....i guess i will need to contact my HTC contact to find out when they are really going to release the Shift.
It's not that they are spoiled by unrealistic delivery date provided by expansys. They are actually lying every month by saying this thing is available now... from official PR! and since last october. I understand a company meeting a last minute problem before going on the production channel, but this announcment where done knowing the production was not going, as there is an estimated 2 weeks between the first unit produced and the actual delivery.
That or we have some kind of war going behind the scene between HTC and some other company.
great work ! they lying again! it's ok for me ...i buy an asus r2hv , i can't wait .....time is money , no? for htc maybe not. stupid company!
I can hardly believe that I too am falling into the trap of posting about HTC Shift availability. But here I go.
Clove technology www.clove.co.uk a company who have been trading since Psion days told me that my pre-order of the HTC Shift can now be executed and that first stock is due Tuesday march 04th 2008.
Well since I've waited about 1 year now since the CES display I figure I can wait a few more weeks and see what the reports from this forum will tell. Personally I feel that unless it shows all of good performance, full WM6, GPS, and usable data via SIM we might all be better off waiting for the HP2133 (see http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/hps-umpc-2133-revealed/ ) a product that is surely not going to be a year late.
Hey i found this on the internet, i don't know if it is true or not but the link states that the Shift is now for sale in the UK
http://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1230
Just got confirmation that my Shift was shipped (from Devicewire)
It's finally in stock
Dear All, i am glad to inform you all that the HTC Shift is finally in stock for order, looks like the wait is finally over. I am getting mine tomorrow, hope you all get yours soon !
Wellcome

I am hesitating so much between the Shift and this, above mentioned Fujitsu p1620.
The short battery life. No entry in WM without a SIM card (not even WIFI?). No WM that can use the harddisk or SD slot.
The whole WM seems so useless now. I wanted it for long battery life.
Hardly any harddisk space left to bring my favorite films for looking at in the plane.
The P1620 on the other side may take another x months to wait for and is much, much more expensive. And SD cards to carry my films become bigger and cheaper.
My Bucharest dealer just sent me an interesting offer (4397 RON = aout 1170 Euro all in)
I could pick it up tomorrow!.
PLs help me with my decision.
I am a frequent flyer in the cattle class, so I NEED a small tool/toy. I NEED long battery last, but could buy two of course.
Huib
P.s. I think that I buy the Shift now and sell it on this forum cheaper if I go for the Fujitsu later. But still.......
HTC Shift In Stock
B"H
The Shift is now available in the USA, here:
www.onthegosolutions.com
Also, it can be shipped internationally, too.
I wasn't quite sure what you meant that it would take x months for the Fujitsu, the 1620 is available, and has been for a while I think. The U1010 is the one that hasn't launched yet.
If a lot of your use would be on the road, you have to think about battery power for sure. I think the HTC Shift has quite a few drawbacks, but I'm personally buying it because I have fallen for it, and I gotta have it :-D I hope there would be an extended battery eventually, but HTC's choice of battery pack and implementation is going to make it hard (I'm sure some third party manufacturers won't miss the chance and would come up with a new cover etc.) I have a 32GB USB and a 16GB SDHC, so hopefully with these two I could remedy some of the issues with low memory capacity on the Shift (I'd rather move the backup to a USB stick if that's possible, but should be).

I've just been on the phone to Expansys uk and they tell me this device will be available through them on the 30th September,as I previously know with Expansys this could more likely mean 30th January 2006!Anybody have any release dates from other companies and when they expect to be shipping them to customers?
Also I've been reading into the facy the cpu is 200 mhz instead of the Jams current 415mhz.Is there some reason for this?Does it really mean it's a slower unit or is the device and cpu mapped differntly somehow so it will perform the same as the jam,or perhaps faster?It looks a great device and i cab't beleive they would put a much slower processor in unless there were some valid reason for it,and i don't want to "upgrade" to a slower device!Any thoughts?
I read somewhere that it would be using TI OMAPs 195mhz some say it will be slower but some say that it would make no or lil diff as the OMAPs sort of act as 'dual' processors... one for phone part the other pda part (thus no slow down and saves power). we can never be sure unless we play with it and load it with all our fav apps though... i'd wait for a hands on review since the previews floating about are of pre-prod units or engineering samples, better to read an actual full review of a shipping product. I'm really excited about the wizard!!! hope it rocks... so far it's the only ppc coming out that i am really eyeing the universal seems too big.
Cant see it been slower really - wont do their sales much good.
Terran
Unfortunately, it will be considerably slower. While the OMAP does combine seperate processors for phone and PDA functionality, at the end of the day it is just a 195MHz ARM processor (as found in PDAs from years ago) - it's not even Xscale.
The fact that its a "dual processor" doesn't help unless you are trying to use a programme like Skype (which apparently DOES work on the Wizard!).

device on smartdevicesdirect
There's this supplier in the Uk
www.smartdevicesdirect.com
that says that the wizard is going to be available in 1st october...
Does anyone have any feedback on this site ? are they reliable for purchase ?
Their price is suspiciously low -- I've preordered with www.expansys.co.uk, I tried doing a pricematch but they said
Pls be advised that we are unable to price match something that has not been released.

So I guess £449 is the price I'll be paying (unless the price drops when the product is released).
When you're spending so much money, it's best to go with a company that has built up trust. I was reading the "returns" agreement with smartdevicesdirect.co.uk and you can only return if there is a fault; Expansys give you a 21 day grace period (like Argos' 16 day money-back guarantee). From experience, companies that explicitly state they can only accept returns for faulty items usually give much more problems/ resistance when trying to get an RMA --- even if the product is faulty (they have razor-thin profit margins and such).

Received this mail today
Hello,
QTEK 9100 QUAD BAND GSM / GPRS /EDGE ENABLED POCKET PC PHONE NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
Just wanted to take the opportunity to advise you that our first delivery of this brand new product which was planned for mid October has
been brought forward to NEXT WEEK. We will have stock available for
immediate shipment.
For further details of the specification of this latest product in the comprehensive QTEK range which is available SIM FREE or with contract, please refer to our web site or call us for network connected pricing.
Kind rgds,
Managing Director.

THE Mobile and Wireless Solutions Distributor
Sounds right as thats very simular to what I was told by the above lot...
Terran
( Intresting that there is no sign of the Universal.... )
Well that decides that one. Cancelled my order from Expansys and went with Smartdevicesdirect.com. Just hope I haven't made a mistake!
Well... you probably did! This device is not even leaving the factory before the second week of october. All this pre-order stuff you're reading is all (xcuse my english) CRAP :evil:
Dutch, excuse my ignorance, but how can you be so sure.
I have heard from 2 reputable online stores that they are arriving next week. Do you know something we dont ?
Yes, I do :twisted:
OK then dutch, why don't you offer it up for all.
I just pre-ordered a Wizard from MadMonkeyBoy.
Actually, better than that, I just noticed in your sig, that you already own a Qtek 9100 (sorry I didn't see that before).
While I'm waiting for mine (which might take until October), can you give your impressions of the Qtek 9100. I'd love to hear how it's working for you on a daily basis. How is Windows Mobile 2005. What are the pros and cons of this device? Can you contrast it to the S110 which you also own?
Also, can you run some benchmarks for us on that processor? If your could run the SPB benchmarks (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/benchmark/?en) I'm sure everyone would greatly appreciate it. How is full screen video playing, and what is the battery life of the device with, and witout Wifi?
and to cut it short below is the email between me and him

I am not able to find it there.
this is the link
http://www.made-in-china.com/showro...MVmgfTcuPWt/China-HTC-Shift-Mobile-Phone.html
I'd reply and tell them that the standard Shift does not make phone calls, and ask them what has been changed on this one to allow it.
Edit - I've just seen they are offering them for US$ 415, that alone should tell you not to go near it.
i already did, and am waiting for the reply, see i have seen iphones made in china that looks exactly like the original but with cheaper branding quality, otherwise functionalty is similar with motion sensore and everything, by replacing the battery cover which has the bad quality branding no one would know ots chines except when u go to the games and find a game called sushi and its all in chines , my point is those people are more than capable

I know this Iphone clone you are talking about. Its called HIPhone. I totally disagree here, its a piece of junk.
As pantaloonie said, dont go near Chinese stuff...
Btw...the hiphone is very limited, doesnt feature 3G and the motion sensor doesnt work. Internet is not supported either...you can buy them here in Japan for 200 bucks...if this Shift is a clone (which i hope its not), then I hope they call it S*H*I*T
anyone brave enough to order one from that site? =D
forget that, the guy disappeared after i asked about more details but what about a solution of gsm modem than can dial, wouldn't that solve the problem temporarly, i mean u will then have to use vista side all the time but i have seen gprs modem that can dial
Dont buy chinese phones for actual, buy it for novelty. I bought a "hiphone" and it sux. its 20% of what the iphone is. The icons does not respond as well as the iphone, no 3g support, not much functionality. All it is, is a working toy phone. Its cheap.. I bought the mini hiphone for $75, BUT STILL NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Plus the 1 year warranty does not work, they will have you pay for shipping round trip and if their post office lose your plackage, they wont pay for it. I sent one back and I had to complain to the Chinese government for this fraudulant trade practice.
hehe, funny stuff. There're no fake shifts in China. The demand for the real ones isn't great enough to warrant a fake one. I will however state that Chinese business is very much "tell you what you want to hear" and then let you complain about it after the sale is made. So, if you ask if something is exactly the same, they'll tell you it is, because to them it's what they call "cha bu duo" which means "pretty much". But of course, what's pretty much to the seller is far from for the buyer.
I hope that gives any future buyers a realistic picture of how things work in China. I live in China, and I know that if something sounds too good to be true, it's because it IS too good to be true. You get what you pay for in China, just like you do in another country.
Now memory cards on the other hand... well, get those in China, they're cheap, and they REALLY are what they seem to be.

hi...just an input....if u wanna buy from www.made-in-china.com ,
make sure you are buying from a platinum/gold seller. i have bought stuff from there in bulk.. i must say that if they say its original it is... for the first shipment. second /third shipments will have some problem sets. alot of major companies either make sets there or does trading there as as certain parts of china are sort of like trade hubs.
this is my honest comment on them.
but i feel that they have made a big step forward in the sense that they are improving in the way they do business..(if you compare 5-7yrs back and now).
be it the merchandise quality and trustworthiness... NOT ALL but some
btw i am not from china nor i work for www.made-in-china.com
i am not even chinese
cheers!
it really was.
i have got a shift on July. it can make phone call by speaker.
but regretfully, it can not make a video call. i tried to install 3G videoTelephony, but it is not used.
And SD reader can not used in winmo yet.
The GPS can not used in win7.
i can not read the disk in winmo.
The ROM is windows mobil 6.1 professional 5.2.20764 (20764.1.4.3)
I think that you should verify the company and buy your product. Because few days ago I was buy some electronic product from Chinabuye.com supplier and has great facility and free shipping service. I have checked my all product than It was ok for me.

To Caid444 "There're no fake shifts in China." (sorry I can't manage to include quotation here).
Just now I'm playing in "chineese roulette": I have payed 103$ for a Chinese HTC Shift and I'm waiting for a delivery. I guess that for such a price there should be a cheap mobile navigator in a Shift box (photo shows the original Shift!), but I'm still mysified.
I have an original HTC Shift and I hope that there should be at least some compatible spares like screen, keyboard and battary.
If anyone is interested I'll compare the fake with the original sample and publish here the results.

I bought a new HTC Shift from a GSM Shop in the Netherlands for 100 euro's in 2009. They are not that expensive anymore as they were and all stock are leftovers that the shopowners want to dump.
Now I expect it to be even cheaper because of all the tablets that have arrived that are more powerfull then the Shift, have a more modern OS and enough memory to actually run software on it.
I order my products with Chinabuye, much better than with what I experienced with made in china. they have on time delivery and easy payment via Paypal.
no no @ say no to made in China
Made in china isnt reliable site when you are going to buy something big in price and size @ i mean scams and worse shipping service !
instead of that i use Chinabuye for better products' quality !

so can you explane me how its possible to made a phone call with the shift?
i really need it if possible,thanks
well, you get all kinds of suppliers at made-in-chine. i guess it beats alibaba.com anyway, 'cause when you google the page name you get nothing but scam warnings and stories about people who 'bought' the new iPad for 19.95$ manufactured in China... and got a set of toothpicks instead.
but I would recommend using business searchers like momoway.com who offer the same services but seam to be more reliable.
I have a Shift that I haven't used since I bought it. While its the coolest device I've owned, my company's internal software doesn't play well with the Shift so I find myself always leaving it at home. So, I'm cutting my losses.
It is in prefect shape.
It was bought new from dynamism (I had a good experience w/them, BTW).
I may be able to find the box, but I'm certain that I have lost the leather case in some airport.
I'll reset it to factory fresh. Save $500.00 over new, and only you will know its not new.
I'm asking $450.00 + the freight of your choice.
Thanks

I have tried to find it in US but unable to find any ... I have now order one for about $1500 which is 3 times more than what you are selling.... pffff so sad .. and the worst is that I still haven't received it yet !
Sorry dude. You can always cancel your order Thanks anyway.

I know I can (even if they have already taken the money) but I'm in Belgium and my brother was in US a month ago, now he is here and will not go back to US.
I might come to US in some months... but I hope I will get the one I order before coming to US loooooooool
still praying to get it this week ..... I want to make things move around !
I haven't reacted about your issue... but have you tried with Windows 7 or Windows XP? It's weird that the company's internal software is not working fine with the shift... I think that there should be some hopes for you (have you tried ReadyBoost?) and it could be fine for you to enjoy the shift.
if I got mine in some days, I can show it to all my colleagues and maybe someone would be interested by a so cheap device with all those advantages ... so let's tune in
wow they are expensive in the US .. i got mine in australia for $712 AUD (501.8176 U.S. according to google (search phrase 712 aud in usd))
Which US Carrier?
I was wondering if you have been using the unit on AT&T or T-Mobile - and if you could comment on your experience with either of those two carriers.
Hi! I'm interested... I send you a PM!! Please reply Thanks!!!
I am also interested, planning to use this in conjunction with my Touch Pro.
Have been looking to get a Shift for a while now.
Now that my funds have cleared, actually looking to do something with them now.
How long ago did you buy it?
guys,
i am from topaz and artemis forum...i am actually planning to buy leo...
any body in india had a feel of it..
any suggestions.?
How about the Copilot GPS navigator? Does it have maps for India?
Also, did you get any screen protector for the phone?

got it for 38500 in Mumbai . 1 day after launch... its awesome .. i am a iphone user and iphone is very boring after a while ..
the best part about this phone is the facebook integration .to ur contacts .. no other phone has such an awesome facebook interface/integration ...
my recommendation to u is go buy it without any hesitation and u wont look at any phone for 2 -3 yrs ... its unbelievable , battery life , camera , speed ... too good to be true ...watched a 3 hr movie and the battery still had 2 bars left
i was reluctant to spend 38000+ on any phone ... but this is worth it ... its just brilliant .. ive used the blackberry, e72, iphone .. but the possibilities in this are immense .. make sure u buy a boxed packed with warranty ..all indian htc's roms are 1.48 ...
did have the pink tint issue but the rom update resolved it slightly..

I suggest SatNav or MapMyIndia are the best GPS software out there for India, it covers practicallly every Road w/Road name and ALL the possible POI's.
Agree with khanvis2009 its a great phone overall. I purchased my N900 from New York and used it for a month - inevitably a revolutionary phone but the weak battery life disappointed me. After having switched to HD2, I'vent had a moment of disappointment since then.

It is a great phone. I have used two other models (Jasjam/Tytn, touch etc) in the past, but HD2 is very fast and extremely responsive so far. I am loving my HD2. I can now read ebooks and actually browse and surf comfortably.
It does have some glitches though. Once in a while I have noticed that touch screen stops responding and needs a hard reset. Hopefully the next ROM takes care of these issues.

It does have some glitches though. Once in a while I have noticed that touch screen stops responding and needs a hard reset. Hopefully the next ROM takes care of these issues.

thanks for the response.....i heard its exclusive on docomo......did you people buy from docomo....or from retailer?
Docomo is selling the HD2 exclusively for 7 days. Retailers will get the phone tomorrow. Just confirmed with a local retailer in Cochin. Going to get one...!

Will surely let you know. As per the agreement btw HTC and Docomo, the exclusive sale should end tomorrow. Also the guy from retail store was pretty sure that he would get the stock tomorrow.
By the way, are you from kerala?

How did you book it? My retailer told that it would take another 2-3 days for the stock to arrive.

I played with the HD2 in DOCOMO store in Chennai and I must say I am impressed.
The phone is really fast and responsive and feels solid that the Touch HD that I have now. Battery cover in HD is very thin and always creaks when U try to increase volume or just hold it tight.
Albums , Music tabs all seem to work faster than my HD.
Had my wife along with me and she also said the phone feels and operates much smoother (She has an iphone ) so coming from iphone user that is good comment indeed.
Cost is 37,000 including VAT in DOCOMO but already there is a retailer in Chennai who is listing the phone for 36,000 inc VAT.
Google for - UNIVERCELL -
If only I can get a good price for my Touch HD I will without doubt be changing over to HD2.
lets see...

Its from PDA Cafe...He confirmed me it will be avaliable at 2:00Pm. I booked it..He delivered to Home.
Lovely amazing experience...
It costed me Rs 36200/- + 4 % vat
its already available in new delhi.... i purchased hd2 on 17th dec for Rs 35200 from an authorised htc dealer.... all i can say its the best phone available today... i dont have words to describe its greatness...hd2 is better than all its competitors like nokia n900,iphone 3gs,sony xperia x10,samsung omnia 2 or LG bl40... but its only weakness is poor battery backup... otherwise its most awesome phone undoubtedly!!!

Dell has dumped their inventory of AT&T DVP on TechSoup org and they are going for $31 each till there gone. They come with the SIM unlock code.
If you know someone who works for a non-profit in the US you can get one through them. Up to 20 can be ordered by each organization.
Sorry, can't post links yet. Just google TechSoup then type in Dell Venue Pro in the search box on their web page.
Guys not lying. Anyone work for a non-profit organization ?

no one wants to sell their dvp???
I have one to sell, but it's a little beat up and has some significant AMOLED dimming. I think I'll take my chances on ebay. Even though you can get a decent 32GB MicroSDHC card for about $15, the a 32GB version of this phone sells for significantly more than a 8GB version.
A little while ago Secondipity's ebay store had 8GB models accepting best offer submissions of $100. That's the best deal I've seen. Even at that price, it took them a couple weeks to sell out. Now prices are higher. They were the T-Mobile version, but as I've read on the forum, it's just the same hardware flashed with different ROMs.
Either way, you may want to hold off buying anything until you hear what Microsoft has to say at the Windows Phone 8 announcement scheduled for June 20th.

u have any price for yours??
I'm trying to see if I can find someone who might get the 31$ ones
Sorry sold my VP to CeX for £114 and bought an S3 the phone was nearing the end of it's life and, if dell were reluctant to fix a small issue with the compass then, I highly doubt they'll send out an upgrade for the discountinued phone. Bye WP7 and I'll only come back when I'm bored of android. Ciao.
I personally bought the DVP from this seller. ACTUALLY, he is like a half mile away from my home! HAHA. If you order from him, I can make sure he sends you a good working DVP. I am actually helping him unlock some other phones he has and removing some demo software on some Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 phones. He has a few DVP that are kinda messed up and 2 or 3 in pretty good condition. check it out. Look at his other auctions.
crap i cant post links. Go to ebay and search this item# 221020643141
i got a nice one, no scratches at all, pretty mint, picked it up in January of this year
$150.
no sub 100$ dvp??
Ended up selling my extra one for about $150. Prices were lower last month when an liquidator was trying to move some stock. Prices may go down again with today's announcement that WP7 handsets will not be updated to WP8.
anybody???
a bump!!!!
