HTC Touch HD in Austria?? - Touch HD General

Hy,
Did someone know´s when the HTC Touch HD comes in Austria, and @ which Provider i will get it?
thanks

The Touch HD can already be purchased in Austria for about 600€.
If it will ever be available at one of our providers is a question I can't answere.

yes, i know that it can be purchased @ geizhals or amazon.
But 600€ is to expansive, and thats why i want to know when it can be buyed at any austrian provider?!

I've been asking around. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone... in fact everybody in town. Nobody has even heard of Touch HD. Everytime I need to get them to look up at the web pages for info. They still think that the "upcoming" Touch Pro is the best one could get. Expansys Australia is a big joke. HD is showing the status of "to be announced" when everyone else overseas is already busy selling it.
Would be real nice if one of the Telcos could carry it, as not only that would give us the local warranty but also reduce the cost significantly.

Oops.. LOL .
The two words are so close, isn't it? Ha ha.

yes they are close, but when i´m in a foreign country and someone aks me, where i´am from and i will say, i´m from : Austria.
Then the other person will say, ahhh australia with the kangaroo. And this will "hurts" because the most people (also in europe) dont know anything about austria. And everytime when this happens, then i´ll thought about what did they have learned in geography in school.
And thats why i have written austria in big and fat and colored fonts.
But no problem
cheeers

Indeed.
Often when I'm using webpages where threre is a drop down box for country selection, I would accidentally select Austria instead of Australia.

Does anyone know of any shop (not internet shop) in Vienna where I can buy touch HD?
Best Regards,
Damjan

got mine from "Handytuner" in Westbahnstraße, but i'm afraid they're sold out at this time.

Hello damjanmi,
you can look at this page http://geizhals.at/a366535.html, here are some shops which you can buy the touch hd.
You have to click on one site and then you can see the adress on the hompage.

Germany exclusive O2 deal

As told in this Article/review the HD will be sold exclusively by O2 in Germany
http://www.xonio.com/artikel/HTC-Touch-HD-Business-Handy-Praxis-Test_32944215.html
Seems HTC is not only trying to copy Apple in the looks with this device.
All in all the review was very positive... excellent remarks on the improvements of the Touch 3D department...Only shortcommings where the extra costs of GPS software (which i think is positive as now people can decide on which software to buy themselves) and the msiing flash and low resolution video...

Does this mean that HTC itself will not sell the HD in Germany as an unbranded device? There are quite a few shops in Germany accepting pre orders for a German version of the Touch HD ... This seems to be a different approach than Apple Eifön or Google's G1.

Ok here is how it works:
Exclusive does not mean, that a carrier like O2 is the only one who is allowed to sell this device. It only means, that he will be the only one (at least for a given time) who is allowed to offer this as a branded device in combination with a contract or other offering.
So if you are searching for a new contract and want to get an HD with it, O2 will be the only one where you can get it in combination with a contract for a relative cheap price.
But ofcourse, you can buy an unbranded device everywhere and use it with every carrier you like. The same way as every other unbranded phone is sold.
Hope that helps,
Raz

Touch HD now available in Germany

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.

Shops that have the HD Mini in Stock?

It looks like some users in the Forum already got the HD mini. Does anyone know which (online) shop already have the WWE version in Stock? The only shop I found is "brack.ch" but they only deliver within Switzerland (i live in Germany).
The HD mini didn´t got too much positiv feedback so far but for me there is no alternative, since I need a software that is only available for WM6.x and Iphone. And since I want a capacitive screen and the HD2 is too big for my taste, and I already been frustrated enough by Apple products, the HD mini seems to be the only option.

expansys has the english version on stock.
thanks rigo007! I´ll check it out...
Expansys offers them for 400 euro.......other shops in Holland from 350 euro...
yeah... expansis seems do be quite expensive (hence the name?). Furthermore the phone doesn´t seem to be in stock anymore.
@Frank, do you know any onlineshop in the netherlands that has the HD mini in stock and ship to other countries?
Thx for the feedback guys!
Clove certainly stock them and ship overseas.

Hello Nivi78, they seem to be on stock with several suppliers, though these are Dutch versions......
There are shops which have the English version for 355 euro but only ships in Holland.
If you want can order and re-route the phone to you.....
Thanks a lot for your offer Frank Caarls! That´s really kind of you. But I think it´ll just be easier to order from clove.co.uk.
Ok, good luck with your purchase..
Let us know if you like the device..

Belsimpel only delivers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
MediaMarkt Nordhorn already has it. The webshop doesn't (4-7 days), but the shop itself does.
Anyway, yes you can just change the language (I do it the other way around, I'm from the Netherlands and buy my phones in Germany.).
Thanks, talked to 5 Media-Markts in my near and they said all "no we dont has it" ...grml, now orderd online and its on his way, bought it from "talkthisway"
