Does anyone know where you can buy the Shift for immediate delivery in the UK or do you have the details of any overseas supplier that is reliable. I have the money to purchase one but cannot find a supplier at the moment.
I got mine from chicago, they import from europe. Onthegosolutions i called them to verify stock, bought online, called again to verify i would recieve the next day and wala, it was in my hands. They were very helpful.

thanks rpawly - a few UK suppliers claim to be waiting on deliveries. If I dont secue one by next week I will contact that company in the US. Cheers
that actually would be funny,
i contacted a us company that imports from europe,
your in uk (from our view, i know not yours) your in europe and will contact usa store that imports from europe so you can export it back to europe.
crazy stuff
Yes its crazy, but as long as I get it, thats all that maters to me.
The wait is over
I managed to get one from super gps Just playing with my new device now. This is going to be so much fun!!
HTC Shift

as others aks for localized shifts...
Has anyone already got a German Shift (QWERTZ keyboard) and if so how and where did you get it?
Amazon.de just mailed that "the item is very hard do get. Do you want to cancel your order?"

Hi Einsiedler,
I ordered with Amazon on 2nd December now the site says availability 9. April and in my account the date has been 8. April for weeks now.
I guess we have to wait a little longer. Today there was an offer on Ebay without specifications of the keyboard layout. I asked for it and a little bit later the offer was taken off by Ebay I guess.
And I got an email by Ebay in which they said that a doubtful email was sent to me by the the person I asked for the keyboard specifications.
We must swallow the truth that there ain't any Shifts around in Germany. Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid.

Und ich teile
same for me: No qwertz-Shift. Also no pictures yet. Mid April?
My Amazon order has NO date at moment.
By now HTC is well-known for its strange (i.e. non-existent) information policy. But their distributors seem to kid their clients in the same way. My amazon-order already has been postponed a few times after giving me fix dates for delivery. Today I got the same mail as EinSiedler telling me that at the moment they don't know nothing about a forthcoming delivery. At the same time however Amazon changed the availability status of the Shift from "bestellbar" (order now) to "lieferbar ab dem 9. April" (available 9th of april). What is the name of the game they're playing with us?
amazon.de will deliver mine on the 11th of April.
Maybe I order the normal English version and use tipp-ex on the keyboard.....
Received the same Email this morning - one day after postponing the delivery date to infinity. Quite chaotic.
But hopefully they are right - this time.
BTW: I assume it's the quertz-version. Anyway: Better we learn blind-typing instead of messing around with Tipp-ex.
Date shifting
Hi,
no, I don't think that it is Amazon. I guess it is the information policy of HTC, but it is another question how the distributors handle their cluelessness. Worst of all is Expansys. For months they have been giving out exact dates olny to put them back when the time arrives.
At the moment is says: Verfügbarkeit (availability): ca. 1 Tag. Just for the fun of it have a look what will happen today or tomorrow. What they do is downright disgusting.
I ordered the Shift with Amazon on 2nd December 2007. For weeks now the date in my account is 8th of April. On their site it is 9th of April, supposing that I am lucky I might get it on 11th of April.
S.
Shifting availability
Hi,
from Amazon I just got this email:
Wir liefern vorbestellte Artikel so aus, dass Sie sie am
09.04.2008 in Empfang nehmen sollten. Wobei wir die übliche
Transportzeit hier miteinkalkulieren und Ihre Sendung entsprechend
rechtzeitig losschicken.
So, if lucky I'll get it on the 9th next month, but who can trust the month of April funniest of all the months starting with the first.
S.
For the Krauts here in the forum:
Shift qwertz ist available from Monday. Some dealers report they got a tracking number from DHL today, so Monday it should be in stock!
Hi,
I live in Australia and noticed on expansys AU that the Shift is on there twice, one as HTC Shift http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=157607 and the other as HTC Shift X9500 http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=165677
All of the specs seem the same except the X9500 has a 40GB hard drive instead of a 30GB and the X9500 is heaps cheaper........
The other thing is Hong Kong sells the X9500 $650 cheaper than the Australian HTC Shift but the language is (Traditional Chinese), what does this mean...... is the operating system chinese only or is the keyboard and everything Chinese??
Does anyone know what is going on here???
Thanks

First link is not good, remove the "and" from the link and it's working again
As I can see only the HD is different yes.
I think the Chinese version has another keyboard layout. Maybe also the WM is Chinese and maybe also Vista, but can't tell you this..

Sorry I fixed the first link it had "and" stuck at the end of the address.....
OK, I have found the X9500 in English so the Chinese is no problem now, The HTC Shift in Australia is$2194.95AU and the HTC Shift X9500 in Hong kong with 10GB more is $1511.13AU Thats $683.00 AU difference....... Thats a massive difference for the same device and if you pay less, you get a bigger harddrive...... Something is really strange here.
For that massive saving I am willing to send it back to Hong Kong for Warranty if something goes wrong.

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.

Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?

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.
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

I ordered a Touch HD a couple of days ago at Amazon.de without any delivery date.
Yesterday, they confirmed an early/mid December 2008 delivery date, too late for me.
So I cancelled the order yesterday.
Today, just out of curiousity, I looked up the Touch HD again on Amazon.de and to my surprise, a german company in Munich selling through Amazon.de had the Touch HD in stock but at that time only 4 units remaining.
I ordered one immediately and I hope to get it around Friday.
When I returned back to Amazon around one hour after my order, the dealer had only ONE unit left, so it seems these babies move fast.
Just wanted to let you know that the Touch HD seems to be shipping all around Europe, shouldn't take long until it will be available everywhere(I assume starting with next week or so).
Ah, thanks a lot! I'm interested in getting it at o2, so I think I'll have to wait till the next week or even the week commencing.. But it'll come for sure this month, thats already great news, because its not such a fiasco as with the X1. Can't wait for the HD... Greez, cad^^

and when ich switch to camera mode, there is an area of around 2-4 dead pixels which are always white. they are not dead, as it only happens in the camera mode. i think there is a sensor problem. mhmm strange

Good news: The German (not Austrian version of the HD is shipped in Germany this week. So by next week all major retailers and online retailers should have stock. For the price conscious that might be able to wait just a little bit longer, keep in mind that the o2 branded version lists at only 570 euros w/o contract, 299 with Genion L contract.
Today I received an email from o2 Germany and it seems Touch HD will be released in calender week 47 which would be 17.11. earliest. Just to let you know. No pricing information yet.

But as far as i heard, even the free HD they are selling is branded. meaning you can use it with every sim, but the software has got O2 specific branding. Like O2 Homescreen and more. It may not bne possible to get the normal Touchflow screen without overwriting the rom and thus, losing warranty
Yes, just what I wrote and you quote, "the o2 branded version lists...w/o contract" - I meant SIM-free. And judging from my experience with the o2 Trion (Tytn I), if ever one has a warranty issue just put the o2 WinMobile version back on - as long as you dont hard-spl and super-cid it. I dont mind branding anyway, as long as there is no button tying me to the providers internet offerings. And as Touchflow is concerned, it would surprise me if HTC would allow branding to not include it for the sake of a homescreen.
Where is you information from about o2 branding?
as far as I know o2 is not doing any branding on this device.

...just got it from www.digitec.ch.
it is simply AMAZING...i don't know what to say, it is my third HTC device but the quality looks to be far improved...
Will recieve mine too from digitec.ch. Hope it arrives tomorrow but it could be that I have to wait an entire weekend
Cant wait to see the quality of the phone.
Btw, they have many german phones on on stock now. The price is about 827.- CHF which is about 554€ (no shipment costs in switzerland).
So hurry and buy one there
Digitec doesnt ship to uk or spain?
I have emailed them to ask about shipping to UK but no responce yet :S
same here, it is a great price and googlecheckout cancel my order to handtec :\
i received it today .. from comdatanet .. ...
digitech do NOT ship to UK
Do they ship to Germany?
I dont know where they ship and where not, but there is bad news at the moment.
The price suddenly raised to 889.- CHF about 594€. At the moment the prices fluctuate very much so its best to check every time the actual price.
I this as soon as the other big online shop in switzerland will have the HD on stock the price of digitec will fall again.
If you want to check the most online shops in switzerland at once go to www.toppreise.ch an search for the "HTC Touch HD" in the upper left corner of the website. Perhaps you find a shop with reasonable price which ships to you country.
Hope you'll succeed.
The email said they don't ship their products to foreign countries at all.
hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that in-stock Swiss price has risen again. I expect German prices to fall back to around 570€ quickly, once o2 Germany starts selling it at that price.

Did you get that price with an English language model?
It is going to be hard to wait all weekend to unbox that baby. My Trinity is already looking at me with sad eyes
I've started collecting cabs for the HD already. There are a few from the Diamond forum that sound interesting, like the landscape typing app gyrator 2 etc.
I took the german version. This morning the english version was also at a price of 827.- CHF. Now all versions raised in their price
Yeah...will be the hardest weekend of all, at least I will be a little distracted while learning for some tests an university.
Monday morning I will be up asap
I also started sollecting some apps to improve the HD experience. Hope they will work like on the diamond or touch pro.
i ordered mine for 907 CHF, in september. On monday, i contacted them since the list price had fallen to 888 and asking about the delivery time. Despite it is not their usual policy, they refunded me of the difference and they shipped on the same day.
Notice that the change in price is simple and mathematical consequence of the EUR/CHF exchange rate: 1.52....1.42...1.48...
...sorry to insist for those that don't have it yet....It is an amazing device, i cannot believe it.
I could read the pdf manual on the screen one page at a time...and i can keep the smallest font without loosing readibility. I tried to take a picture of it with my Nikon camera, but i am not able to render it.
the LCD is incredibly sharp, the small pixel size has a strange effect on my brain. I almost prefer to read small at high resolution - without moving the eyes - than reading on a large screen with less resolution...
...and for my trinity friends: my trinity now looks cheap plastic, this one looks solid metallic and has a fantastic feeling....the screen looks glass....looking for a problem somewhere - but i cannot find it yet!!!
...I stop here, I don't know what to say in order to describe my satisfaction!!!!
hi guys,
does anyone have any ideas when the note will be released in Australia? can't wait to upgrade my Streak for it. always loved Samsung phones for their Amoled screens.
if they're not in Australia any soon, might look for one on eBay
thanks guys
If you're planning to buy it off-contract anyway, MobiCity are selling them already.
Note will be released in AU early next year.
EBay is pretty expensive now. Why not try expansys which had the lowest price now for €455 plus delivery (about AU$ 750). It's really good time to buy while AU dollar is high.

because they are all around € 619,99 on the site
thanks
We don't pay VAT, dude. You can remove that from the price.
i see.....lol...
If I buy it from a European Country other than UK....will it have English Language on it and will it work properly in Australia? What about also the abilities for system updates?
Thanks again....

If you buy a EU version, then you will still have the ability to select English as your language on the initial setup screen. Android support multiple languages.
You also can apply updates as all EU zone use the same thing.

Note will be released in AU early next year.
EBay is pretty expensive now. Why not try expansys which had the lowest price now for €455 plus delivery (about AU$ 750). It's really good time to buy while AU dollar is high.

Hi mate, it's from a German site which doesn't ship to Australia (I tried). The current cheapest one I find is expansys.com which is 480 ponds including postage (AUD730 based on last night exchange rate. AUD is worth less today after the interest cut).

I pre-ordered from them on 12th Oct which price is 4 ponds less than the current one. But, my order still hasn't been processed yet. I called them yesterday and they told me should be post yesterday but they didn't.
For the EU verion ordered from expansys, you can remove the UK convertor from your order detail screen which save you 0.99 ponds. And choose DHL instead FedEx for delivery.
