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^^
Nice, but this must be the WWE version. Let us know when you get it.

Yeah. 2-3 dead pixels. they stay white all the time.
the 8GB Sd card was not in the package. but i think that this is not you an exclusive, as a german review site who got the device, also had no 8Gb card inside, even if it is written in the manual!!
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

Yes your right, but on the other hand, amazon will have it a month from now. that stool ong for me. not to forget: the store i bought it from had no problem taking it back after i called them and told them about the dead pixels.
and: i got the information that the 8GB card is missing in the series they recieved. and immidiatly got a card from them
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.

If you go through that thread, a guy in Greece says he cannelled his order on Expansys and ordered from those German guys.
He says he should hav it by tomorrow (tuesday 23 November).
He also said that it was in English and branded as HTC although the picture says T-Mobile.
1) Yes, they have it in stock.
2) No it's a T-mobile branded
3) No the OS is in german and they are waiting for a good flash to flash it in english. They will probably have this flash this week
Yes exactly, the update arrives thursday for english language.
Whats more interesting: The upgrade will (as stated on the expansys forum) be published as download (so you will have to do the "upgrade" yourself.
If anyone gets his/her handon this, please remember to at least post the IntelliPad (aka T9) and Intellidialer CAB files from the ExtROM . . . . .
To get acces to the ExtROM: After a hard reset after doing the initial settings (like calibrating), do a soft-reset (so the customisations wont be run. Voila: Its open. The copy the needed cab's off . . .and post them here
To continue working with the device do another hard-reset and then follow the normal procedure.
Lots of Himalaya users will be very thankful!

I spoke to a guy on their phone lines.
He says they've been expecting them since last week but it hasn't come yet.
Apparently, it's due to shipping issues as the goods have been despatched from Taiwan.
Gotcha. I just ordered one from nowicom.com (MDA Compact in German) and will receive Friday (hopefully). :lol:
I'll let you know when it comes about flashing to English. 8)

This is me. I wasn't logged in.
Hi guys,
First post on this forum but likely not the last one, given that I'm planning to buy a MDA compact asap.
With that in mind, I've a couple of hours to spare in Frankfort airport on Monday:
- Any chance I find a SIM-unlocked version?
- Any chance I find the same with a EN ROM?
- Will the nowicom EN ROM be downloadable by everyone (or will a code be required)?
Belgo
T-Mobile sells them in Netherlands with WWE (English) ROM.
Locked though. Big chance all MDA Compacts are sim-locked as they are subsidised by T-Mobile with a subscritpion (not sold without one)
Edsub,
thanks for the answer but assuming you are right, where are the versions from nowicom coming from then? I thought they were selling Sim-unlocked (but still T-mobile branded).

Hi All,
I found this link on the Expansys forum http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/Products/type/phones/ProductID/5654/NetworkID//I-Mate_JAM.asp
I don't know if it is really in stock but for those that want an iMate on cotract, it might be a good deal.

I'd phone them and make sure it's in stock if I was thinking of buying from them.
Just phoned them.
The guy I spoke with said they had them in stock but that batch has already gone out.
They should have some more by Wednesday.
Not in stock then.
Those guys (phones2udirect) seem a bit slippery to me. Their web site says "in stock" for that item. I called and asked a sales guy about it. He said that they dont have any right now but they hope to get some by the middle or end of this week.
The I asked him why, if that is correct, they show it as "in stock"? After all there must be people who are putting their credit card info on line and being charged, for an item these guys do not have! He then said, "well we are taking orders and then we'll get them an ship them out" SO I said "we'll that's no IN_STOCK, thats ON ORDER", isn't it? He really didn't have much to say after that.
So be careful. They are not honest at all. If you have problems with the phone, it would probably be even worse.
Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true. I am actually waiting for a Jam from Expansys. I don't live in the UK so I have to buy one without contract in my country anyway. I guess the guys that bought from Newcom in Germany still don't have their English language ROMs yet. I think I'll stick with an English imate Jam.
Matt
OK, for those interested in how many units Expansys is receiving, I was told by French Expansys that in total they would be getting 1,000 iMate Jams (for all countries) and the backorder is only 300. It looks like all orders will get filled when the shipment arrives

I recently purcahsed a supposedly unlocked "new" softbank x01ht. I know it can't be new because to unlock it they would have to mess with it out of the box. I e-mailed the seller and he assured me it was unlocked and the OS was in english. I also found some other posts on this board questioning the legitimacy of these cheaper unlocked softbank phones. I'll give an update on whether its legit or not when it arrives on monday.
Just want to know if there are any American users of these softbank phones? Especially in California? Are there any issues with this phone on the t-mobile network? I am pretty new to the pocket pc/phone scene. I read through the FAQ on the wiki I just have a few more questions:
1. What exactly is the radioROM. Is it part of the main ROM or a separate ROM?
2. Is it safe to assume all HTC Hermes model phones are pretty much the same hardware wise and just differ in cosmetics? So if I load a HTC ROM on my softbank, it pretty much is a HTC phone in function?
daemonk, i tried my best to find out what are these devices' S/Ns, that seller didn't answer, would you tell us what is the S/N when it arrived?
sure. I bought mine on ebay btw. There was a thread previously on the same seller. The shipping tracking says its being shipped from Hong Kong.

I purchased one from them also. The Serial number starts with HT638 and it came with a dopod rom installed and bootloader 1.04. It was shipped to the US from Hong Kong overnight.
I am returning it because it came with one dead pixel on the screen. They say that the return time takes 14 days and they gave me a return address in Bellevue, WA.
Hope this info helps anyone.

softbank sells phone devices with their brand name only in japan. i presume any softbank devices sold their should be the ones sold through any illegal channels. no one can justify the $300 difference on the price tags if dodpod and sofbank sold there are both from the legal channels.

They're not "illegal". We call them parallel import. But then for the $300 difference, we don't have any customer service and we're on our own if the Softbank goes silly. See, if they can make a profit at $500, then the street retail in Japan should be around $400. Good deal for such a device!

whatever you name it, they are not shipped there through the proper softbank channel.
there are those in japan buying them from softbank with the contract and personally exporting them unused to elsewhere after canceling the contract, but that will not work anymore with the ones shipped with the new rom after Dec 2 as nobody so far including pof has been able to unlock it.
if any unlocked ones are still flowing through from elsewhere, it could be from factory level and that is definitely through any illegal channels as htc should ristric that.

Let me know when yours arrives. I am curious about a couple things...
1. Does it have any bad pixels?
2. Does it have a Dopod rom and 1.04 bootloader?
I hope my replacement does not come with the 1.09 bootloader.
Since these come unlocked with the Dopod rom installed, then I would guess that I should be ok with my replacement when it comes.

i'm surprised if it comes with the bootloader 1.09. the bootloader 1.09 checks the cid and it won't let you flash the dopod rom on softbank device. you cannot unlock softbank x01ht that comes with the new rom with the bootloader 1.09. if it comes unlocked with the dopod rom, the bootloader cannot be 1.09.
alright just got my softbank phone in. From the looks of it, everything looks legit. I want to charge it fully before I turn it on so I'll post on the ROM version and stuff tomorrow. The manual is in Japanese as I expected, so how long do I need to charge this thing for the first time?
The S/N is HTC638XXX btw.
okay so mine is basically just like Freshter's. It has the dopod rom and 1.06 bootloader. No dead pixels .
So I guess the guy is legit? I havn't really had enough time to play around with it to notice anything wrong so I may not be the best authority on it.
The guy I bought it from on ebay is selling 5 more apparently.

It seems that yours came with bootloader 1.06 while mine came with 1.04.
I just sent mine back today for replacement because of the dead pixel.
The seller has been very responsive to me, but it is a shame that I have to wait 14 days or more to get a new one.
I'll let you all know the specs of my new one when it comes in.

Well, I finally received my replacement X01HT yesterday after a month of waiting.
As promised, here are the specs:
X01HT (HERM200) with Dopod ROM
Bootloader: 1.04
ROM Version: 1.23.707.4
ROM Date: 07/21/06
Radio Version: 1.14.00.10
Protocol version: 32.50.7018.00H
One other thing that I noticed was that the first one I received (and returned) had the part number 99HCE045-00 XT01.
This new one I received yesterday has the part number 99HCE045-00 XT02.
Does anyone know what the difference is between XT01 and XT02?
Edit: Also wanted to mention that the new one has a serial number starting with HT647...
Can you help ?

I don't understand your logic. Unless it has been "stolen", it is as legal as it can be.

Is it something going on with selling of Advantage? I have a feeling like some pieces are getting back to factory, for example there is no more selling from Expansys in UK.

i will try to confirm that with my contact in HTC, I have heard a recall of some product which was up for sell in asia. The reason is as expected the Micro drive problem, maybe Expansys import their Advantage from asia, then that will be the same. Anyway, all the above need confirm from official first.
I will try to do it asap
wu5262: any news on the advantage?
am wondering why dynamism was showing end of april, and now shows early may???
should i switch to expansys uk? i think they are showing 63 in stock....
any issues being discussed @ htcland?
i'm on the edge of my seat! i should have purchased the dopod, but i like the black.....
any info wld be welcoming. i'm in the usa. thanks.
My thoughts also, I would love black color and hope it would be fixed soon. Though I think in my country would be at end of this month so would wait some more to see how it is going.
I think Clove UK site has lot of Advantage on stock. Just checked Expansys now, wow, 294 in stock!!!

right, news has come back, no delay on Advantage, everything is shipping out as normal. There is a small recall of Advantage in Asia, but really small amount. Official say the MD problem is now solve, but there are some Advantage owner who report MD problem on their device. At the moment, chance of having MD problem is a bit higher for Advantage compare to DOPOD and Ameo but not too serious so you shouldn't worry about it.
I would say if you don't want to wait anymore, get the Advantage from Expansys or anywhere on net who offer it.
I've ordered my Ameo at T-Mobile Germany yesterday, expected to be delivered the day after tomorrow.
However: status at T-Mobile online-shop is "not avalable".

Thanks for the reply Wu.
Any UK Advantage owners out there having issues? Especially with the MD?

Ya I remember the Raphael, that was put back about 5 or 6 times. ended up 4 weeks later than originaly expected
Are HTC doing a big announcement for this phone or are they going to keep it on the DL so that the G1 gets all the publicity and be called an Iphone challenger which it isn't the HD I would consider is.
It HAS been officially released. It was officially released by HTC a couple weeks ago and officially released by O2 in Germany today or yesterday or something. Now, if you mean for sale, it is not for sale yet but will be probably within the week.
who are we looking at for a service provider here in the states?
Probably will start with Sprint as they are the primary carrier of HTC flagship phones. After 30 days or so it will prolly be picked up by AT&T and T-Mobile, then Verizon and Altel.

Hey guys... good to see the thread up and running for this great new HTC offering. I will certainly be trading in the Diamond, mainly because battery life and camera but also love the bigger screen and I don´t use the D Pad on the Diamond so better to have more screen space!!
Back to the topic....Do you they´ll release it in Asia first like the Diamond? I remember you could buy the Diamond on Ebay from HK about 4 weeks before the official Europe release.
I think Germany has already gotten first dibs on it. o2 is supposed to be the first carrier to get it.

Updated wiki.
Looks like a vendor has them in stock...
Is electromaticinc.net trustworthy?
It doesn't look like it. Anyone have $600 to gamble?
It is a scam

It now says €577,15
Let's hope the prices keep in this zone. It will be far less than what I paid for the Kaiser I'm currently using. And it's less than the Touch Pro (€ 589,05)
..but, am uncertain about the "validity" of this online shop.
Anyone have experience with this merchent?
http://www.cellgsmphones.com/conten...omnia_7_16gb_unlocked_gsm_phone_preorder.html
there is no 16 giga version for the omnia7
Thats wrong. There is such a version - for example in Germany.
If this site got the 16GB Version is a different matter tough.
These shops have the 16GB Versions http://geizhals.at/eu/a582829.html
watch out for the German T-Mobile Branded Omnia 7. It's not released right now, we have to wait 2-3 weeks.
Not 2-3 weeks. I just got an email that the place where I bought it will send it to me on Friday.
Most sites on the Internet says 16th or 18th though.
Where did you buy it, the most shops i asked about the 16GB version said 2-3 weeks.
I bought it with a contract on an ebay store.
I guess thats not what you are looking for.
But on amazon.de there are for example a few shops with a delivery on 18th.
If you search on google you will see the other stores with 16th (I have doubts that they really get it delivered by then, but thats what they say)
Anyone found one outside of Germany? Also, are the German ones unlocked and usable abroad?
Starting to get tired of waiting for the Dell Venue Pro.
A t-mobile phone is a t-mobile phone as far as i know. You can buy it from the link i posted earlier this morning sim free from deutsche telekom *aka t-mobile*
***posted this earlier****
It's with deutsche telekom you can get the 16gb version.
Found the link.

ohne vertrag - without contract = 609.95€
"Someone Phone them this morning on 0800 33 55222 *german phone code 49* and see where they'll send it, i'm guessing anywhere if you pay for it"
T-Mobile US and UK are not compatible so I need to be sure there's no issue between Germany and UK as that would be a waste of my money .

I travel europe and get no issues apart from roaming charges , i am in live chat with them now, it's worth a laugh later, my bad german 5 min, then he asks "do i speak english...fu**ing classic*
What I meant was... If it's locked to T-Mobile DE, would it be ok with T-Mobile UK.
On a side note I wasn't expecting such a high price, maybe 100€ less...

Yeah maybe compared to the 8GB but the PAYG HD7 is only £380 and also 16GB, even if you pay to unlock it you won't go above £400 .
I might have to wait for the Dell Venue Pro afterall and upgrade the SD card.

But ya don't get the fastest, brightest unit atm lol, it's personal taste, i love HTC, i have shares in them lol the better they do, the richer i get
I've had a HTC from the MDA pro, TyTnII, Touch Pro 2, HD2, and now the Samsung, Why... put two next to each other When HTC front the cash and jump Samsung again with a new model back i go
I've got the German Omnia and it is definitely not locked to T-Mobile, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it with o2
The phone has no hardware branding but software branding with some uninstallable software and a customized search within IE (instead of Bing you get a Google based Telekom search). The biggest problem so far is that the MMS settings are locked to T-Mobile and are not customizable, so I can't sent or receive MMS (for me, it's no big deal, but for some it is...).
Furthermore, you can get the phone from other stores as well: Geizhals (local price search) has an overview of several shops that have the phone and are also cheaper than T-Mobile. The shop with the lowest price (handyattacke.de) also mentions that it might be possible to ship to other countries, but you have to ask them ("Lieferung in weitere Länder auf Anfrage."). Might be worth a try

LOL! Thats pretty funny... No offense, but let me guess, your german was coming from google translate or something like that? At least you´ve tried it!
Was today in a T-Mobile Shop in Germany and was asking the guy there about the Omnia 7. He confirmed me that all the T-Mobile branded Omnia 7 which are sold in Germany have 16GB memory and are not locked... That means you just have to find a Online Shop in Germany who send it to Europe to get a 16GB one. The only things you have to accept are the mms problem, startscreen from T-mobile for 2 seconds and the T-mobile Search. But Im sure with the time somebody here solve that problems...
