Hi guys, i know this is not a normal question in these forums but i don't know where else to look.
apart from ebay, is there any other way an australian can get their hands on an htc x7501?
any help is appreciated.
thanx in advance
After extensive searching, the only place I found was ebay. Also, just making sure that you know the X7501 does not have a front camera for video calls. Only the X7500 does.
that would be because the X7501 is only for the North American Market, the X7500 is for the rest of the world, but obviously it depends on orders from the retailers and networks as to whether the distributors will bother to import it.
i would say Ebay all the way, or from a reputable worldwide online retailer such as expansys or someone similar.

WHy do you want a 7501 rather than a 7500? Did you realise the 7501 is the same but just missing the front camera?
Unfortunately, when I asked the same question of HTC on Oct 24, they replied "
"There is no plans for a release of HTC Advantage X7500/X7501 at this current stage. The shift is due for release last quarter of this year, hopefully this will suite your requirements."
The Shift doesn't suit my requirements so I ordered a 7501 from Mobileplanet - it arrived yesterday!
I asked HTC where I could buy Dopod U1000 back in March this year. They replied that they will not be sellin this device in Australia and New Zealand.
They said the Telco in Australia wanted to charge them an arm and leg for 'testing fee', which HTC refused to pay.
So I got mine from Singapore, and found out that no testing is needed. It just worked.
I don't see SHIFT doing well at all in Australia. It's too small to be used as a Vista machine but too big to be carried around. It's too battery poor, and too slow. I do see Advantage/Athena doing very well in Australia. It is almost a perfect device.
Thanx for the reply guys. i know the differences between the x7500 and x7501 but the increase in price just for the front camera is not justified. i dont use video call anyway.
i'll check out mobileplanet, how much did you pick it up for?
also fixerboy, how long did it take to be sent to you from the day you ordered it? and how much was the combined price with shipping in AUD? was there any customs fees?
thanx
Approx $A1200 inc shipping and a 4 in 1 cable - Ordered approx 10 days ago - said backlog was until Nov 22 but the day before yesterday, the tracker said it was backlogged for 9 days - then it showed up yesterday so approx 12 days from order to arrival.
excellent news. i might order it today. i had a look through the checkout process, do you remember which shipping option you chose? in other words, which ones apply to australia? is "rest of the world - 3 - 4 days" the only option available to australians?
also, how did you pay? credit card, wire transfer?
thanx

Hi all,
I've been hunting on craigslist and fleabay for ages and most guys won't ship to Oz and the coupld that would I got outbid or gazumped and missed them.
There's like 2 on fleabay anyway as they don't seem to come up much. Short of paying 900USD for one new is there any where you can suggest I can pick up a second hand one? I have a budget and can pay reasonable money (they close on ebay in the US usually for around $600, the 7500 slightly more).
hi, i am in nsw & might be looking to part with my advantage 7510. would you like to email me at [email protected] to further discuss?
awesome, email sent. Is it really the 7510?

As the 7510 isn't released yet I would be VERY careful. Never hand over any money until you have the device in your hand.
i've emailed him and havent heard back yet but i'm sure it's just a typo as he's posted before about running it here in Oz with three.
just emailed back mactablet it is the 7501 not the 7510 sorry aout the typo there

for sale on ebay for $600 buy it now option

I had a lot of problems finding one to buy in Australia I eventually brought new from eXpansys Australia, they shipped over the UK model.
The Maps are all for the UK, so you have to get Aussie Tom Tom maps.
And if the advantage needs fixing it has to be sent away to the UK which takes a couple of weeks. I have had a problem with the keyboard pressing buttons when no one is touching it for a while now, (I think there is something wrong with the magnetics) but I won't send it away as I can't live without it for 2 to 3 weeks and I can do without the keyboard
... long story, tale of woe .. but in any case, my shift is for sale. Haven't had it that long so I don't want to take too big a hit - Perfect condition with the Windows Mobile unlocked .. I can leave it that way or reset all of it. Thought I would post this here - this weekend I will list on that awful eBay!
Not going to ship out of the USA unless someone sends me CASH .. no money orders or paypal from international buyers.
I hope this was the correct place to post this. You can email me at

Any interest in a partial trade for an Athena X7500 dual camera?

well, so you don't want to sell your shift for me at Indonesia ?
Are you interested in an x7501 w/EXTRAS?
Hello,
My name is Harold and I have been a long-time lurker (w/my Advantage). I would be interested in a partial trade for your shift. Please see attached link to my ebay auction for an x7501 Advantage.
Feel free to review the link to my Ebay auction. I just listed it a few hours ago. I am open to any suggestions if you're interested.
I can be reached at: [email protected]. If I were to get a SHIFT, I would also be Ebaying my Dell XPS 1530 (Tuxedo Black).

Email reply from Seidio below after I request to arrange the returning at their cost:
----------------------------------------------------
Dear Johnny,
Unfortunately all return shipping is not our responsibility. Is there anything we can do for you to avoid such a refund?
Regards,
RMA department
Seidio RMA Department

Finally,I didn't return this combo set...
Are you sure you ordered the correct version? The back cover looks to be for a different TP variant.
you definitely ordered the wrong one.... or recieved the wrong one....
looks like you need this
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr2htfe-bk.htm
click on more pictures and you'll see the backing. it's the one i got for my Fuze, and it's a perfect fit.
Given the back, looks like you ordered the one for the sprint Touch Pro:
The Sprint Touch Pro is 2mm longer and rounder then the Fuze.
But webpage show the Compatibility is for use with HTC Fuze (AT&T)
Isn't same with mine one?
They definitely either shipped you the wrong version or you bought the wrong version. As previously stated the one you received is for the Sprint Touch Pro, which has different dimensions than the HTC Fuze.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr2htch2-bl.htm
That is what they shipped you, is this what you ordered? (What does your receipt say? Match or post the product number)
-If so, then you bought the wrong one, talk to them about returning it (shipped at your own expense) and purchase this
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr2htfe-bk.htm
-If that was not what you ordered, let them know. They shipped you the wrong product and you need to get what you paid for.
I get it ..
I bought a wrong one..

Other than ebay, where can I get an unlocked hero? I know there's a site called 'puremobile' or 'purephones' or something... there was a site that I was on yesterday that had unlocked Hero's for $520 which is a perfect price but I can't seem to remember where that was.
LOL they have them on ebay for around 400 or even less if your lucky.
Mind pasting some links? Because I'm looking on EBay and all I see is $550 and up right now.
Have you tried Handtec? i bought my HD from there, dunno if they have a US Site tho
Hmm... I'm not sure if they will ship to the states... Any others?
Puremobile - Canadian retailer
Negri Electronics - I got mine from here. It was already unlocked (the Telus version), so I didn't have to pony up for an unlock code. Ships from Wisconsin
i Would check out play.com or similar sites, they sell unlocked (simfree) handsets , i would avoid ebay or any sites like that
Hello just registered
I am exactly looking for same thing.Please someone help me I will buy from US.
What i came accross was ;
http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Hero-Unlocked-QuadBand-White-p/htc-hero-wht.htm
499 bucks.
But is this site safe ? And i read something like this about them ? But i guess this problem can be solved with ROM update right ?
DO NOT BUY FORM THIS COMPANY. i bought a htc hero, it came in quickly but could only be set up in enlish with three asian countries, no possiblities to be set up in USA or any other country. Once you set up english in either Malaysian, Cambodia, or Indonesia then you get english key board but still has asian symbols so you don't to use full effect of keypad. Also it does not have andriod market or any upgrade programs. i tried to call the company, no answer, then i sent them 8 yes 8 emails asking them to contact me and not one single reply so now my return deadline has passed. i contacted better business beruea and if i don't hear from them soon i will contact them via my brother who lucky for me works FBI in the southern florida district and has police friends to get something moving on this scam. they robbed me of 499.00 dollars and i am not happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO USE THEM.
