It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?

I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..
We'll see...
Ordered 2 from Expansys - usa

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.

I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.
I'm selling my Shift X9501. I am not getting enough use out of it to justify keeping it.
The device is < 6 months old and has been cared for lovingly. It was purchased from Expansys for ~$1,700CAD.
If interested, see the following link:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160298689776
I could have bought two shifts for the price I paid a year ago. I can't believe they are going so cheap nowadays.

SHIFT looking..
im looking to get a used one. anybody have one for sale?
just let me know...
Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a Desire HD from an ebay seller (based in HK I think, although it says Australia).
eg:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Unlock-H...51917?pt=AU_Mobile_Phones&hash=item2eb0b07ccd
Are there any other Australian users that have done this? Do you think I will have any dramas using it on Australian 3G network? (Optus)
Any advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
I bought my from the UK through clove.co.uk
Here's the product page http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-desire-hd
It cost $507 AUD atm
Personally i wouldn't buy a phone off ebay (even though that's where i got my psp) but it's up to you. Clove is cheaper and i've had good experience with them
Got mine sealed brand new from ebay £280 bargain of the decade.
Thanks for the advice.
Can I ask how much shipping cost you from Clove? Apparently I cant get the price until checking out.....
Sounds like the way to go... depending on the shipping cost

DHL was around 30 pounds last time I bought from them, which was a DHD by the way. I would also recommend them as I've bought a Hero and Desire before from Clove and they are both got to Sydney in perfect condition.
Thanks for that, just gotta wait for the iphone4 to sell
$20-30 for DHL
I've kept up on the price of the Xoom for the last few weeks since buying mine at Best Buy. I originally purchased one that had original packaging/film but was a returned item for $539. Unfortunately it started to collect dust under the screen so I took it back and exchanged for a brand new one. Best Buy matched the prices I found at Sams Club and Nebraska Furniture Mart. Both have the Xoom currently listed at $579.
If you're looking to buy, perhaps this will help save a few $.
