What has been the average price for buying one of these bad boy's....
Everywhere I look it's been about 1000 USD... Thats a bit steep for me... Any advice on shopping? (Other that "quit being cheep"
I currently have the Wizard... but I want more...!
In the UK at least the best option is to get one as part of a contract.
I've got one as my works phone but I'll stump up the £100-£150 to upgrade my own phone now my contract has run it's term.
Loosing the Universal if I decide to change jobs doesn't bear thinking about. :shock:
Look on Ebay? Trim your search down to the ones being in the US only so it's easier to ship. You might even get lucky and find one close to you.
In a couple of months my contract with 02 comes to an end and I'm looking to move to T-Mobile (that unlimited data tariff calls to me!)
Anyway - Since nothing seems to have come of the supposed replacement (HTC Omni) this quarter I'm starting to consider my options. So far the following have come to me:
1) Carry my EXEC onto a new contract and save some money. Downside is the phone is a bit bulky and I'd prefer something a bit smaller, also lack of HDPSA (although how can you miss something you never had...?
2) Get the MDA Vario 2 (HTC TyTN) - far as I can tell I'd gain HDPSA and loose the VGA screen and a fair chunk of the size. Performance-wise is more or less a bust.
3) Get $SomeOtherPhone (Nokia n95 is interesting me here) sell the Exec and use the money to buy a WM5 PDA for the things I like using WM5 for (GPS and eBook reading are the two biggies) - Fujitsu Loox n560 would be a probable candidate here.
Any thoughts on the options, or can you suggest something better?

My situation exactly.....what I did.
Took the FREE M3100 (TyTn) and new plan to save money. I am now evaluating it as to whether I want to replace my Universal or keep it as a spare!!
To be honest so far the universal screen and keyboard are the main things I think I am going to have difficulty living without. However the form factor of universal I definately wont miss!!
Still cant have everything.

Oh yeah, forgot one of the downsides of the Vario 2 is the hideous colour scheme - the Orange M3100 looks much cooler
In a couple of month's T-Mobile might have something else that you'll be interested in.
It's best to wait until your time is up before choosing your next phone.

Oh I know, I'm not making any definite plan til the time is upon me, this is more of an "I'm bored at work and kicking ideas around" kinda thing
TBH though there is *nothing* in the HTC pipeline that I've seen that appeals to me - although to be fair the same can be said of everyone else too, the N95 is the only thing I know to be coming that looks interesting to me.
o2 do an unlimited data tarrif - they just don't shout about it!
it's called unlimited blackberry roaming or something like that.
£10/month :¬D

keep the exec to sell on use that money to get a cool day to day phone,
(damn i wish i cud get a casio gz one in the uk),
at the end of your contract get a new contract with a tytn,use this for your pda
stuff
that would be ok for ya.altough im in a similar situ,im keeping the exec as nothing comes close for long coach trips,and im goona get a rugged nokia for day to day
good luck
lol exactly my situation too. i am considering n95 just because there isnt any other new pda available. i thought i would go for new o2 zinc (was it zinc? the 3g one). i wont buy any pda/phone without 3g lol i cant live without 128k online radio on my phone.
anyone considering n95?

I already carry two phones around - taking that number to three would e a bit much
I think as of right now I'm going to go with N95 and a seperate PDA *shrugs*
Depends on if the n95 sucks or not really!
Don't worry all, it's all good. Let me start with the confusion by quoting a fellow Xda members concern about pricing, that was shared by myself and doubtless countless of other potentially interested purchasers of the new Athena, known as HTC X7500 (due out in April sometime), T-Mobile Ameo (available now) and the Dopod U1000 (available now in various parts of Asia).

Right then....just had a rather lengthy discussion with T-Mobile about this. The information for the Flex 35 offer is absolutely legit!!
That's right 100% correct!!
I was going to send mine back and have this deal, but in the fullness of the contract, the price works out to be exactly the same...down to the penny!
Basically I get 1/2 price discounts on my bills due to my ties with T-Mobile, hence I pay more for the device..but it all amounts to the same, except I get considerably more minutes etc per month.
Bottom line: If your going to be a new customer to T-Mobile and can comfortably afforf the £40 + per month, it is a fair deal. Total cost for the device and perks of the Flext tariff work out to £839.00 or thereabouts.
Compare that to £600.00 for the cheapest deal the Dopod U1000 (add shipping cost), then your really only paying less than £239.00 for the contract over 18 months which equates to 239/18 = £13.20!!
It will actually work out less than that as in the Dopod U1000 you still have to pay for shipping.
So in reality, your paying (e.g) £600 for the device and about £12.00 per month for the tariff.
Another way to look at it is tariff is £42.50 x 18 = £765.
Therefore £839.00 - £765.00 = £74.00 (for tariff benefits)
74/18 = £4.11 per month over 18 months for Flex 35
Apparently HTC will be selling the X7500 Advantage for a bit over £700.00 SIM free, but no other perks like free minutes etc...hence the inclusion of TomTom6.
They all work out to be roughly the same. You get what you pay for and none is actually cheaper than the other.
You simply have to chose which 'package' best suits your needs. Whichever version you buy, no one has got any cheaper than you as we don't know their payment history and Loyalty points awarded in the form of £'s discounted and for what reason they got high or low discounts.
I get low discounts on upgrades or new device/contract, because I always get 1/2 bills on contract tariff, but someone else may have several low cost tariffs, but pay the full bill and thus gets a higher Loyalty reward in discounts (this applies to service providers only).
You may seemingly get the device considerably cheaper at T-Mobile or at a small SP signing you up with T-Mobile, but with a less fulfilling tariff or at a higher rate.
It all sounds terribly confusing, but it's actually quite simple when you think about it and makes perfect sense.
None of these companies lose, but neither do the customers, as we have different 'packages' or 'bundles' with service providers or sellers of other variants of the Sim free Athena.
It all works out fairly in the end....trust me.
WTF!!!! Your post is Very long & 99% garbage.... i dont want tomtom 6 in my htc x7500. also i dont want any whatsoever accessories with it. i only want the pocket pc possibly without the box so the price cuts down. bloody hell they prolly charge me £100 more for the tomtom sheit. Also the gps sux in athena. it heats up the device so much and drains the battery like mad sheit. i am going to disable gps and use my holux gps that i bought for my universal. also i already have tomtom 6 which is basically free on the net and you can download maps. who dont know how to do that can buy the sheit for £100 whatever (noobs). So the device really costs only £450-£500!!! hahahaha. Whoever get HTC X7500 for £700-£800 getting madly ripped off.

man, what he say is very true, he basically just break down the price for all these three device. Advantage will cost the most, yes it will be over £700 so you won't get it under £500!!! Beside, i have the DOPOD U1000 with me and i can tell you this, GPS works really good, no heating up at all and is the same speed as my TomTom official BT receiver.
So if you really want to wait for the Black one, be prepare to spend over £650 at least!

I'm beginning to realize from your posts that you really are a bit of a trouble maker and wind-up merchant. You don't seem to contribute anything of value on this forum until someone else has already done so. You only appear to be retarded, IMHO based on your comments...your actually quite immature and selfish in your way of thinking.
You don't even seem to consider that posts are meant to be of use to others. You haven't even got your X7500 yet do you? If you have, you should change your signature to reflect this and secondly...check yourself...because you obviously don't even understand the 'long' posts.
There is a huge difference between being pedantic, boring and detailed in ones instructions/description of things. You seem to comprehend only boring...showing your lack of maturity. Oh and for the record, my verbal abuse is a deliberate act of showing my frustration of some peoples stupid and thoughtless expressions of their flawed way of thinking or lack thereof.

Also wu5262 i contacted the shop so many time and he told me so many times that device only costs $1000CDN without any addons. And i place my pre-order already. He already only has 5 pre-order. I am very lucky. I know wu5262 how you feel very sad you got ripped off on your dopod u1000

Oh yes..that is what wu has been referring to all along concerning the X7500's ROM...it doesn't handle writing to the Micro Drive well, with all sorts of issues, hence the delay in it's release. Hopefully they will have it sorted in time though.
My thread about WM5torage is not about WM5torage, as it is not knew software, but it is a brilliant workaround for direct file transfer to the built-in (non removable Micro Drive).
Hope you understand us now. You'll see anyway, when your X7500 comes.

finally, the fight is over.....anyway
mackaby007, the problem on your Ameo is not the same as Advantage, your issue is new and never been reported by the tester.
Let me say it clear again, the Micro Drive problem that the Advantage has is to do with their Rom, the problem is, for example if you are watching a movie from your Micro drive on the road, and you accidentally shake by any means, the Micro Drive should stop working for a tiny mini second and resume working after that. That's what Ameo and Dopod is doing, but with Advantage, it's not doing that, it doesn't stop at the correct moment and it doesn't resume correctly, this wrong behavior actually make the Micro Drive drain more battery and result in more bad sector on the Micro Drive. I can insure you this problem will be solve before they release it.
Anyway, i don't really care how much you will get your Advantage for nuclear, you haven't got it yet. And no, i do not want to swap mine to yours because i don't want the black one, so i simply don't care about it.
Hi,
Just wondering if there is any invoice/ bill can show to the community that the device is less than 750USD (1000Candian dollar)
I am very interest to see as I just get rip off by my telco in Hong Kong.
(1000USD with accessories included)
BTW, for people interest about the pricing, Hong Kong list price is 9880HKD with accessories pack. (GPS.. etc..)

no one got it at 750 USD right now, apart from the T-mobile Ameo, but that is with contract. The person who says he got pre-order for 750USD, well, he hasn't got his device yet. I think the price you got are pretty reasonable. The best price i can get for DOPOD U1000 in taiwan is £600
My Phone got stolen today = ( this sucks when you can go out to the beach and have a good time with your friends without worrying about something getting taken out of your car well i loved my phone some much and it was my life i had to much stuff on that thing it was not even funny.

Look on eBay or local listings.
Im in Shanghai and had my phone stolen from my bag (now im paranoid about where I put my phone).
I bought another hermes, used, with box and all, for 225$, that was over 6 months ago.
Bugga, my condolences....
Agree with alkizmo about ebay, in oz the jasjam seems to go for about $250aud which is better than the $900 or "sorry, we don't stock that anymore, wanna kaiser instead for $1400?".

iphone sux & is a ripoff fad...recent artical math:
Old iPhone: $399 (for 8GB of storage), plus $60 per month for 450 voice minutes and unlimited data. Two-year total (since you'll be signing a two-year deal for either handset): $1,839.
New iPhone: $199 (for 8GB of storage), plus $70 per month for a basic voice plan (presumably the same 450 minutes) and unlimited data. Two-year total: $1,879. http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/94465
$175 for a Tilt!!!!!! See, Australia is the Arse end of the world and they keep serving us crap....
Wouldn't want the Tilt though, Love my Hermes....
and its tough love for your hermes
Sorry to hear that man. I was out Sat night this past weekend and my phone just completely stopped booting. Took it in, tested the battery and all, but it was dead. Couldn't even get to a bootloader. I was out of the warranty, and still had 7 months left on the contract so I thought I was screwed, but AT&T let me just renew the contract and get a new phone. Wasn't dying to get a Tilt, but it's better than being stuck with a crap clamshell phone for 7 months....best of luck! If it's any consolation, I heard you can get software for the Kaiser phone that will send you a text with the GPS location of the phone if a different SIM card is inserted. God forbid the phone gets stolen, but imagine the joy when you get to call the cops with the coordinates of your phone (hopefully in the pocket of the thief).

Yea but i need a phone now and i loved my hermes!
Ok so I want the mogul...
found a deal for it new....
$250 less $100 mir....
so all together $150
have to sign a 2 year contract over again and get a data plan... no biggie..
well now I maybe loosing my job so dont want to spend that kind of cash at this moment..
a friend of mine has the sprint ppc-6700 with a ton of accessories...
he said I can have it for $50... and it works great..
is it worth it even thinking the ppc-6700 or just wait till I find out about my job or get a new one (got a lead!!!!!) then go with the mogul???
im just asking here due to a few reasons..
1. I know there has to be someone here that had the 6700 and went to 6800...
2. Someone out there may like the 6700 better as there are most likely roms for it
now I know 1 question that I didnt answer yet..
What is it that I intend to do with the Mobile Phone???
well I sold my ipaq 4700 and all accessories...
so
1. GPS Navigation (have the qstarz bt-1000 logger gps)
2. internet
3. messenger
4. speedometer (for lifted pickup truck)
that is just a few.. so yeah I would get the phone for internet based stuff and bluetooth gps...
I know the mogul has the faster internet connection so that is a plus....
so what do you think?
I had the PPC6700 prior to purchasing my Mogul (I've actually owned a Motorola Q and Treo 700w since too). The Mogul is in most ways a superior device. The 6700 will do everything you want it to do, albeit slower than the Mogul. The major differences are WM6 (now 6.1), REV A data, onboard GPS, and a faster processor (there are actually 2 processors now, one for voice functions, one for PDA functions). The graphics are probably a tad bit better on the Mogul as well. I'm sure you knew most if not all of the differences between the two, but I thought I'd highlight them anyway. If you can get a 6700 with accessories for $50, I'd jump all over it. It is a completely relevant device that will work for most people. Make sure you find a new (different) ROM than the stock one. The stock ROM is trash. Good luck.
well if you get the 6700 you shouldnt have to sign a contract, so you can upgrade to the mogul whenever you want, personally id probably get the 6700 then get the touch pro when it comes out
Also, if you buy the 6700 and have it covered by insurance, if it ever gets lost or anything you will likely get a Mogul as a replacement for the $50 deductible.

my 1996 camaro rolled 197k miles...and is not in good shape... she said if I compremise on a cheap car (new but cheap) she can compremise and I can get the mogul... thus I think im gonna hold out for the mogul.....
Thanks guys...
however I see a mention of the Touch Pro... is it going to be that much better than the touch now? I dont like the touch..... although it has more memory...
~Jeff
the touch pro is going to be the replacement for the mogul, so more memory (both ram and rom) slide out keybaord, gps and everything you love about the mogul and more
the touch diamond is the replacement for the current touch, also more memory, and 4gb insternal flash (in addition to rom) but no keyboard
the thing about having to get a contract to get a data plan doesnt seem right, id start asking questions about that
well I was on ebay and decided to take the plunge...
I bought a mogul..... $192 shipped... plus $16 windshield mount + $32 8gb micro-sd
so im now all set....
I sold all my ipaq stuff (including the ipaq 4700) that I had... so I NEEDED something...
I say NEEDED as I have a truck that I wheel.. and I used the gps more or less for a speedometer.. no real way to fix the speedo on my truck as it has a manual trans.... automatics have a solution...but who wheels a auto?!?!?!?!
plus as I didnt buy this from the other guy I dont have to sign a contract.. just call up and pay the $18 to activate the phone.... I am not going to go with the data plan yet....... yet is the key word....
