I'm not sure if anyone has tried to contact HTC regarding some sort wholesale deal. I know on there web site they welcome traders.
I have used group buys in forums before and got some great deals. (I was the Buyer not the organiser) so im note sure of the best approach to get things going.
Maybe this has been even done on this forum before
has anyone got any contacts with HTC??
Any ideas welcome!!!!!! :lol:
HTC will only listen to you when your order exeeds 10K pcs or more!
Can't we try to get anyone in the forum to buy a new one?
Than we can reacht the 10k...
count me
count me in if you bid with HTC
very good idea idea
I am for it and will take one as well.
How to effect the different units to the differnt telco operators in different countries.
Htc may have some agreement with their existing distributors and this may forstall any direct deals. However having said this it should not be a dampener as nothing is impossible. good luck to us
Good ... very Good idea.
I´m in!!
I'm in for 1 Universal. I'd be more than happy to get OS updates directly from HTC...
Htc Universal
I am also in the list for buying HTC Universal.

It's not practical. HTC won't send out 10,000 machines to different people. They won't send them alll to one person without payment in advance. So unless that person can afford to buy that many, 10,000 people will have to pay him/her first.
Would you want to have to send 10,000 items in the post to people all over the world? I certainly wouldn't.
What could be done tho is to contact the distributors Qtek or I-mate :wink:
Excellent idea. I'll be in for one.
MMB manages to buy them in relatively small quantitys from the carriers such as i'mate etc so it should be possible.I'll have on!
Ok guys, here I am, and I am going to help you all!
I want to be part of it... a huge part of it.
I badly need 9.974 pieces for my relatives and myself (yes, huge family).
There remain 26 pieces out and it's really hard to believe we can't find 26 more guys to do the deal, c'mon... Anybody can afford to pay 874 EUR to buy this jewel, am I wrong ?
Unfortunately my account is running pretty low right now: there remain only 8.715.004,28 EUR on it.
Considering I'm going to pay 8.717.276 EUR for my order (plus shipping), if I do not manage to get a discounted price, I am afraid we will need 2-3 more volunteers to join us.
Please let me know whether you are joining me or not.
I live in the USA and my carrier is Sprint. Do you think there is any way to get it activated on the Sprint network? The Universal works with EVDO, right?
If it's at all possible, throw me on the list for 2 of them. One for me, one for my wife.
hi people. hey SLVRBLLT are you telling us you are going to buy 9,974.0 units at 874 euro each??? just asking
This thread is amusing
If it were practically possible to execute such a deal, I would be in for it.
I think before we start assuming this like the number of units that need to be bought and prices etc. someone needs to take charge adn get in touch with HTC to see if such a thing is even possible.
I dont have any contacts so I can't do it. Anyone else?
humayunl is right....bit of organisation please before money starts flying to every corner of the globe....and nothing comes back :wink:
I'll throw down..
Hell....I just bought an SPV M2000, but I'll throw down for this. Count me in....

Me too. why not just have the XDA-Developers Admins involved as well? after all, there's probably one living in each country. What we should do is find the developer in our country/state and find out if we could have a sort of hub setup. if everyone pays their admin, then the admin pays the buyer, all the buyer has to do is ship X amount of units to each admin in each country, then the ppl who paid the admin can come with their paypal reciepts and pick up the units from him one by one or something
Granted, it'd be a massive operation, but if it means everyone has a universal, then i'm all for tryin it.
Well i have started off a little interest. doesn't look like its going to be easy.
Im sure someone must post on this forum who works for HTC maybe they might come out of the woodwork if they know money is involved
Maybe a few words from the moderators would be nice :lol:
Is there a place here one can try to privately sell an unlocked T-Mobile AMEO boxed like new with all accs?
Don't wanna break any rules. I have lloked but cannot see a sales topic anywhere?
Oh, I would only offer within the UK I am afraid, and will need some basic checks on identity for payment etc.
Thanks.

Hey, I would love it. How much? I dont think they have rules against selling, but you can PM me if you would rather.
I have one already, but want a second for my wife.
I support genuine makers of ppcphone forever
due to chinese web managers delete my content which reject fake ppcphone. I must write following content in english.
recently a porpotion of the public have used fake ppc of mtk that is the cheapest for expense. but do you see a few of potential defects.
THE european commission argue that this pirate may be helping to finance crime gangs which are involved in more dangerous activities. it also denies government the tax revennues they need to finance public services and it costs jobs among maker of genuine goods.studys indicate that Russia goverment is losing 200MILLION dollar in taxes due to all kinds of pirate which account for the state of poor economy in this country.the european commission, in launching its proposed crackdown,quoted a study showing that 17000 jods a year are being lost in the EU,as legitimate manufacturers lose out to imported fake.so ultimate customers buying knowingly those fake phone become victims.this pirate is leading to slowdown of chinese economic development from china O2fans
if guys have interest in details of fake ppc of china ,please click on http://www.m8cool.com. I think this website is a sponsor of fake phone
please discuss this issue.
alrightythen
hmm,that m8cool website is the same one that installed the trojans on those maxtor drives.... I'm smellin FISHY FISHYYYYY
Hi everybody!
It's a repost from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217982
I'm collecting money for Cotulla, to buy Samsung handsets to hack for custom ROM's (same as he did for HTC devices).
I've checked price for used Samsung handsets on ebay and got about $160-180 for used Focus and $260-270 for Omnia (Cotulla asked for two different handsets - I beleive he knows what he needs!). EMS shipping will costs about $50-60.
The agenda is:
collect $550 using ChipIn service;
buy two Samsung's handets, Focus and Omnia;
send these phones to Cotulla via EMS or FedEx;
rest will be donated to Cotulla;
All money flow will be open and clear; I'll post a receipt scans and periodically will report progress (ChipIn service is already open and clear).
The backup plan (if we can't collect desired amount during month) is:
if we'll have money for one Focus, I'll send Focus only to Cotulla. If not, collected money will be donated to Cotulla.
I hope the xda already has at least 50-100 generous Samsung handsets owners who want to get a "ROM freedom", so
PLEASE, DONATE!
Here is the ChipIn link:

P.S. We are already collected $156 (actually, it's $146.69 in cash, PayPal took the rest as a commission) but it's still not enough
P.P.S. If someone have a working Focus for sale (can offer about $150), please PM me.
As we all know that captainemo has released the latest version of ZUI and i am strange to know that no one is buying or sharing it. I really love his ROMs.
I have searched a lot for this ROMs but didn't find anywhere.
I have written him more than hundred of emails but got no respond. He is having no payment option which is easily available for me here in Pakistan.
This is the official link to his firmwares: NOT ALLOWED TO POST, will share
He also accepts paypal but i am having none.
I am writing this thread because if someone here in Pakistan is using the same Phone, or even having paypal or any other payment method listed on the page. Kindly buy it from him on my behalf. I will pay you in any available payment method (easily) in Pakistan.
The ROM just cost 5$ on paypal and 250 rubles on any other payment method listed on his page.
Thanks in advance if anyone will help me in this regard.
