This seller seems to have multiple G1's to sell, the price is insane but that's what you get for a pre-release device, if anybody's interested go for it and come back with information.
Weeeeeeee
I think I will wait until mine comes in on the 22. That price is ridiculous. $850 buy it now. ROFLMAO!!
damn i paid more than that lol
G1 For Sale
I can get a G1 for a pretty good price, more than the retail will be but it hasn't released and will sell out quick, so yeah. Would anyone be interested in a G1 for like $600 shipped, I'll send it out on Monday morning overnighted USPS with insurance? Brand new, still in box. Let me know.
hey...buddy...wanna buy a watch?
Or perhaps an Iphone?......LOL
Just kidding
I actually do need a nice watch, my last Citizen watch finally broke after like 5 years. My wrist feels empty.
As for the iPhone, I have an iPhone 3G brand new in box like 8 feet away from me... And no intentions and/or temptations of removing it from the factory packaging.
Back to the G1, I think I have someone set to buy, but I'll update here later on.
Isn't full price $399...? Only having T-Mobile specific 3G bands, the G1 wouldn't get past EDGE on other carriers like AT&T...

Exactly, it would only get EDGE on AT&T... Why do you think I'd never buy one for myself?
And yeah, full price is $399 but considering they're already sold out and then some on preorders, good luck getting one any time soon.
I could get the phone for like $450-460 shipped right now, but like I said, I have no use for it. There are people paying $1000+ for them, so I figured 600 wouldn't be too bad for both sides.
The pre-order alottment is sold out, yes. The stores in 3G areas will be getting them on Oct. 22nd though. I guess if someone in a non-3G market wanted one ASAP and didn't want to wait until 11/10 -- might be happy to find you

There won't be plenty in stores, if you preordered before October 3rd you'll get yours shipped 22nd-23rd, if you preorder after it'll take them longer to get it to you. I'm willing to bet this turns out to be a lesser iPhone surge, but like I said it's irrelevant to me because I have AT&T. I was going to buy and re-sell it, instead I just gave the guy who asked me contact info of where to get it for $460, I'm too lazy to go through that.
Yeah can't say im shocked about people like this who try and rip people off, if i had that much money to spend on a phone it sure wouldn't be spent on the g1!!

Pretty expensive right? 626,95 USD (4 670,03 SEK) incl shipping to Sweden + tax and customs, but what options do you have when ordering to Europe? Is there a better deal, preferrable "Buy it now"?
Maybe I should wait till it reaches the UK or what do you think? I'm getting tired of waiting of Android to be ported to my current HTC...
I got an offer of $400 shipped to me, I don't consider that to be outrageous at all. When the phone comes out, what will it cost? $400 + shipping.

I have mine for a few hours and already have it listed on eBay. I had to just touch it and look at it and now .. UP FOR AUCTION. I have the Xperia on order. I think it comes the end of the month. All I know is Windows Mobile.
Any way .. the phone is awesome. The thing I like the best as to the way it is built is the slide mechanism of the keyboard,. I think I have owned just about every GOOD PHONE out this year, including the HTC Touch Pro .. this keyboard is the nicest and the feel and the weight is just perfect. Hoping I like my Xperia as well ...

... I couldn't do it .. My auction was over $300 and I cancelled all bids and put my sim card back in. I will probably still buy the Xperia when it comes out - unless I fall in love with the dream. And if I don't I think I will give the Dream to my son rather than 'scalp' it on eBay.
Haven't had time to figure out how to just do the simple things .. I want to learn how to voice dial .. When I close a program is it really CLOSED or is it still running in the background sucking the life out of my battery ?? Maybe tonight I will take a closer look . . couldn't skip work 2 days in a row.

Viable to purchase unlocked g1's off ebay?
Hey guys,
I've found some "unlocked" handsets on ebay for sale, but was wondering if they would still be restricted to the 2g network??
As that's where I thought they were currently with their "unlocking" process...
Also does T-Mobile do anything special in order for gmail to push mail to the device, or is that just like controlled entreily over a standard data connection?
2g/3g isn't a restriction. Its a hardware limitation.
When the phone is fully unlocked it will work on any network with both 2G and 3G.
From what I know it will not work with ATT 3G as they are different frequencies and I have heard lots of problems with peoples Unlocked G1's syncing to google/gmail under other carriers other than T-Mobile.
Orange can sell the HD with an exclusive deal in the UK starting first week of November untill years end......
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/
Worst network and it's exclusive for 3 months. So I'll have to wait for another 3 months I so want to upgrade but no good phone and the phone I want is on the wrong network.
HTC you have let me down

...but not me
250mb browsing not cool. But it is only exclusive till the end of the year as it would be stupid for HTC to just keep it on Orange.
Orange would have to pay me to stay with them. Even here in the well-populated south east of England their network is the worst I've ever used. There's no way I'll get another phone with them so the HD will either come to me sim-free from someone like Expansys or I'll wait until the new year until I can get it from O2, who have the best tariff deals at the moment and whose network was excellent when I used my Exec.
Orange - if you're reading this, SORT IT OUT.
O2 might not release this phone on their networks, it wouldnt be the first time they havent released HTC phones, they have no reason to release every Phone HTC make, especially if its going to directly compete with something they are already selling, id hedge my bets by renewing my contract, getting the most expencive phone on the market and then sell it, then buy the Touch HD for full price else where.
How will this affect Sweden? Will we have to wait extra for the phone, or will it be released as normal?
I would have a bet that O2 won't be getting the HD ever, they have already listed the diamond and pro in their new magazine with no sign from the HD, too much direct comp for the iphone. As for Orange i have heard that they plan a few substantial changes in the way they operate within the coming months?
Dont know what that means but since i'm with them it'll def be interesting. I have been waiting for the touch pro for ages and it hasn't materialised on orange yet, so i think we deserve the HD!
I'm with orange because I have an old outdated data package which is well worth the money for me, i have be getting fed up waiting for orange to get the experia or the touch pro, so it makes a nice change for orange to ge this first.
Can you pre order with orange?
bollocks! getting fed u now, g1 t-mobile, hd orange, might just end up with an omnia after all **** marketing [email protected]
This is fecking annoying. I'm due an upgrade on both O2 and Vodafone and neither of them are doing this or anything that's a worthy sucessor to my N95. I suppose I'll just have to wait until the new year and hope that one or the other (preferably Vodafone) get this in.

According to HTC, it has USA T-Mobile 3G
There will be specific versions of the device for USA or Europe or there will be one device worldwide?
I'm asking because i'm italian but i'm going to stay in NY for 3 weeks and I could buy one here if it is the same i can buy in Europe.
Thanks
Man, I haven't been on the forums or used my Blackstone for a while now. I am using my samsung Behold right now because I sort of got bored with the HTC blackstone that I imported to use on t-mobile. I am very VERY interested in this phone and can't wait to get some hands-on time with it very soon. Anyone have an info about Huawei G3 phone that should be coming down the pipeline? :
Hey, I'm so very close to buying a HD2. I have a total of NO idea where to buy from and what sites to trust. I've looked around some, and found the Leo going from 599-750. Another thing is a warranty. I've heard the phone has no warranty usually, but I don't know if I would need one. Any hardware faults or common bugs that would require a warranty to fix? Would love to get it a cheap as possible, but no idea if I need a warranty.
Thanks for any help!
Do you think this would be a good place? has a warranty option too.

strange on went to upgrade on thursday and as vodafone stopped hd2 for non buisness users i was forced to go to phones4u, but as i arrived at the store at 10 am there was a notice on door that they would not be open for another hour due to staff shortages, so i though i would chance it at the vodafone store next door and see if i could persuade them 2 let me upgrade 2 the hd2 and it turns out they received 1 unit of the hd2 that morning and were willing to upgrade me. had a bit of a fight on my hans though as i was told i could't yet i had another month and a bit to go, i assured them i could upgrade from the 22 feb and was told they changed their policy a few days before from 90 days 2 50 days before contract ends, cut a long story short, told them it wasn't my problem and i had't been informed of these changes, anyway all history as i have my hd2.
Since your profile indicates you have AT&T, why don't you order the Australian HD2 - T9193? You'll get 3G.
I got mine from CleverKit. Great service and I was able to pay over Paypal and get some miles on my amex as most UK sites still don't accept it.
Hi,
I bought mine from handtec,
if you look at the HD2 wiki, there is a list of vendors used by xda forum users.
I am probably one of the lucky ones who brought mine (was T-Mobile but unlocked) privately but with the warranty transferred for the nice price of £350 and it was new and boxed. I guess with the £130 I got back from recycling my 14 month old Touch HD with its 6 months half line rental cashback, it feels pretty cheap to me

I'm sorry, but this is craziness !!!!!!
Well I wanted 3G for AT&T here in the states so I got the Testra version from Australia. I purchased it off of ebay from a reputable seller. If you dont care about 3G in the USA then you can get it off Newegg.com if you want! I paid a total of $798. A little more than I could have got the regular version for but if I am spending $700 for edge then I am going to pay the extra $100 for 3g capabilities. Totally worth it!

I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?
I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?
are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets
Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested
I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.
Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.
Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.
