Doesnt really say much hey!!!
:roll:
mm Like lot of people I was expecting this price http://x.msmobiles.com/portal/images/o2/xda-exec-4-big.jpg ( £229 max ) and not £399 (I even have the catalogue in front of me it's not a fake.. and asked several without answer during the chat
Second things that I tried to get the price spec through o2.co.uk/xda has advertised ( redirection to http://www.my-xda.com/ ) and no trace of the exec and http://shop.o2.co.uk/cgi-bin/o2uk/j...set.do?pageMode=null&manufacturer=o2&x=13&y=2 doesn't have any trace of the exec too.
I participate to the chat ( and been logout during the chat by the flash application - irc would have been better for that but it worked otherwise so.. ) ;
The software should have a signature but could be installed if forced. I guess that orange UK will give the price of the same device before 3rd of October.
And TG has well played the game because he got a HTC for free lucky you
And why did you tell that USB HOST was working the 02 guy has by several times said that it wasn't active and didn't even know from where the rumor is from ...
Few questions has been asked without answer like the quality of the graphic card and such.
I think the XDA exec seems to be really good but was expecting it cheaper ( wasn't expected to have a £35-40/months contract for 12 months too ) I might wait december to get an upgraded pack or similar + cheaper (hope soo)
Hiya
So it looks like there is a 'new' Xda out called the 'Trion' - I have a fave site and was checking out the new Sony UX when I saw this listed.
http://dynamism.com/xda-trion/main.shtml
Sorry if everyone else knows of it, I certainly didn't!
It looks very nicely specced indeed! I think the only thing missing is a built in GPS receiver (for my requirements anyway!)
It even says the 'predecessor' was the Vario et al
The screenshot shows it as an 'Xda' with an O2 splash image on it...
I'm about to check out the O2 website and see if its there !!
Anyone know where to get one? $999 USD is the site price, add on $40-50 USD for shipping to the UK, then add on VAT etc I don't want to buy from Dynamism - ordinarily I might have if I'd been visiting the USA sometime soon!
If I cant get one - then I'm just going to get a Xda Mini S...
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!
Thanks dennis - as far as i am aware nobody has picked up that link - the uk link is here http://uk.dynamism.com/xda-trion/main.shtml
I prefer the trion to the tytn which i think is a bit ugly.
It is available in Taiwan and the name is Dopod CHT9000 and it is pretty ugly too ..looking forward to XDA Trion :lol:
Hi to all, I just want to share with you my odisey to know more about these device, to know when and where to buy this device.

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.
Regards
Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

The different is to BIG!!! I didn't sleep well the hole night.
u should be so butthurt -_-
btw here in italy cheapest price is 630 euros!
any of your portugal shop sell trinity with italian language?
selling for sgd1298 about euro650 over here in Singapore
The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.
German discounter are selling it at 505 to 515 euros, available shortly, - anybody that wants to pay more - enjoy it!

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

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.

Latest Buzz On Xperia
With all the excitement leading up to the release of the Xperia X1 there have been many new videos posted by people who were able to attend the recent showcase events of the upcoming release by Sony Ericcson.
There has been a lot of news circulating since Sony Ericcson issued the official September 30, 2008 date for the UK, Sweden, and Germany. For instance, one common question is about the release date in America, which has now been confirmed as being released on Nov. 3, 2008 by the American Sony Ericcson representatives. (Up until now most of the information on the xperia x1 has come from the UK)
Many people may also be interested in knowing that it has been confirmed that the xperia x1 will be released in both silver and black by the crew at the official Sony Ericcson blog website. As of right now, there are no plans to release the Smartphone in any other colors, but if this bothers you than you are probably forgetting about the multitude of skins that are sure to hit markets after the phone does.
Another notable piece of news from the xperiancers website is that the Xperia X1 comes equipped with a very sophisticated chipset so that movies and film clips uploaded or recorded on the upcoming Sony Ericcson phone will be viewable in DVD quality.
This speaks highly of the time and effort that went into making the xperia x1, and helps soothe the pain of how long we have been waiting for its release.
Additionally, the SE Xperia X1 will come loaded with an ATI 3D gaming chip so it can support very high level games. Thus, for those of you who were wondering if the X1 would permit you to support your World of Wars, gaming habits, you can rest at night knowing the Xperia creators had your best interests in mind.
Plus, for those on the other end of the spectrum, who have been wondering about the musical abilities of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, there is still no news about rather the new Sony Play multimedia downloader will be supported.
However, the good news is that a BT speaker accessory will be immediately available for purchase so you can use your phone to its max mp3 abilities soon after purchase. (That is if you have any cash left!)
In fact, if you have the cash there are some more prominent accessories you may want for your new xperia x1 including a travel charger, hands free headset, extra battery, and a speakerphone. You can check out some pictures of the accessories here if you wish. One thing you will notice about all the accessories is that they are just as streamlined as the Xperia X1 itself!
Would like to know the differences between UK and USA version for folks who don't have patient to wait. (Support GSM 850 and AT&T's 3G?)

haha.
confirmed by who??
by the American Sony Ericcson representatives
Atleast that's what it says.
they also said this!
"According to a Sony Ericsson rep at the CTIA Wireless trade show today, the X1 will not have separate European and US hardware versions, so the UK model will work well in the US."
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2330159,00.asp
But wait, I'm confused. I thought that the original comment that Sony Ericsson stated was that it was coming out 9-30-08 for UK and Sweden and sometime late December for Asia and sometime in Q1 2009 for America?
This is just getting too confusing. I would more expect the Q1 2009 for America because when have we ever gotten something as quick as 33 days after the UK (when it comes to phones).

November 3rd is the day they will announce when the USA version will be released.

oh, well that makes it much easier. I guess I'm gonna wait till then and I was so close to buying the fuse.
I just ordered mine throught Expansys 10 minutes ago, and paid in full via PayPal.
Now the real test of patience begins...
Hopefully I'll have it in my hands in a week or two max!
why does it take so much longer for phones to come out in the USA?...
seriously, **** the FCC.

You know they're watching you.
im glad. I would like them to know how i feel about waiting so long for the x1!
Hah, it's not the FCC's fault, the AT&T Fuze was approved by FCC a long time ago. Why isn't it here? You can thank HTC/AT&T for that one.
I am just wondering how many Xperia X1 have been sold out all over the world ?
Is the number somewhere near 1 mil ?
CAn we safely assume that 10% of all users on XDA have an X1?
I would not assume that 10% of all XDA-Dev members have an Xperia X1.
I dont know how often this phone is sold but when I look how many people
are currentlyviewing the phone threads the Touch HD is always best visited.
Greets,
p.s. used google? Once I saw a news that showed the numbers...
remember a while ago SE announce that the XPERIA was selling "well" said sony
hehe , 10% is a great success for Sony if its true ^^.
But as i can see , the X1 section on XDA have a quite large amount of posts and page-view ,though X1 is quite new , so the number of X1 must not be small
Bump for "I want to know too".
I doubt it's very high.
I have recently noted it being promoted in Carphone Warehouse in the UK, which is a very positive development. Not sure if the subsidized prices in the UK are enough to move a lot of units...???
Can't comment on most of the rest of the world. Not sold through any carriers in North America, though rumoured to be coming on Rogers this sooner (not sure if that's still valid).
It will get killed by the Touch Pro 2 soon...
i live in New York City, amd i havent met one person whom has an x1...and i also work for At&t and see tons of phones from EU and Japan, but 0 x1's
go figure...
i do have 1 though.
X1 sold
Hi everybody,
I already met 6 people here in Cologne Germany having one and two more telling they would get one when their contracts will be due.
Since it is rather expensive that is understandable.
I hope it spreads more - I really like the combination.
im in the uk (isle of wight - small island at the bottom)
and i have 2 other friends that have it.
so thats 3 people including me that i know have it here (and thats just close friends) so i think in the uk its sell well.
i think its probally not selling as well in the us as it is in europe
the x1 would have to be the biggest flop ever.... i have not ever seen one other person with an x1 and i travel between sydney, brisbane and melbourne often. not 1!
worst $1500AUD i ever spent and i feel ripped off by SE.

u did get ripped off. worked it out that $1500aud works out £750 in real money. u can buy a new sim free x1 in black for £400 or in silver for £450 online in the uk and only £550 if u buy it in a shop on the high street. u paid well over the top for it.
here in SWE, i've seen quite a lot since it was launched back in Oct.
