Buy HTC Athena here!!!

Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?
Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

buy it here now

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?

When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.
Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD
Gift Pack:
- Bluetooth Headset
- Screen Protector
- GPS Software with Hong Kong & China map

I think those last 3 are free, so I doubt you will be seeing it any more vanilla.

You know they quite often delay the Availability date? ......let's hope this time they won't!

I hate the price but this is so far the best looking body finish. Original unmodified HTC Advantage X7500 available to be bought from HTC themselves. Price is $1500USD. >.> Dang.

Please be aware of all these cheap HTC Advantage, they are all FAKE!!!!!
It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.

Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

Is there a bluetooth headset that looks like a phone ?

I'm talkin about one with a keypad on it and a small screen. I'd like it to still be very small though, not tiny, just smaller than a phone. This is so I could still carry around my Athena with me, and people could still think I have a normal phone because the headset looks like one.

LG Style-i

Yo man,
Thanks for that, thats looks like a great solution.
Also, what theme are you using for your advantage ? I would really like to know, I asked you 3 times, and you didn't respond. Maybe you just didn't read the messages i sent you. Could you please PM me on how to get it ?
Thanks,

Hello!
I am thinking about buying this LG Style-I but I have a problem.
For now, I can only buy it in USA where the power is 110-120Volts.
Here, in Europe, we have 220Volts, so if I connect the charger here it will burn.
Can I find the similar charger here in Europe? Which model?
Does anyone from Europe uses this LG?
Please help me decide!
Best regards,
Deiota

Ola Amigo (i portugues too)
no probleme i use to charge it by usb port of my computer because the charge connector is a mini usb !! too cool
or i use the chargeur a standard chargeur mini usb
BUT it must be maximun 500ma (like a usb port)
i tryed it ionce with 750mha from htc chargeur and doesn't work
LG STYLE I is a very good product i liked it very much but finaly it is no made for me because X7500 is not a one Hand device so when i'm out side (75% of my time) i have only 2 hands !! so it's not usefull at all when you your are one line and you must take your X7500 !!
but if you work on desk all day , it is made for you

$400 ... ?

It has voice capabilities and i bought it for 689 Euro, which is almost 900$.
I was thinking about 550, given that it has a case, a screen protector and a car charger coming with it.

The AT&T one goes for 650$ new and is easy to switch to voice capability
You can probably sell yours around 500$ (I am not bidding for it, I already have mine)

Dock for Defy+ ?

Hi,
I can't find one, do you know one please ?
Thanks.
Edit : I found this one, it looks awesome : http://shop.brando.com/motorola-motodev-defy-mb525-2nd-battery-usb-cradle_p5800c199d5.html
If you know a better one, please post reply

You can make a DIY dock. You need a small magnet(not very powerful) and some creativity
Place a magnet near the usb port. The phone automatically switches to car dock(or the clock dock). If you reverse the magnet polarity(turn it over) it would show the clock dock(or car dock). The dock to be displayed depends on the polarity. If you make a small dock and place the magnet such a way that the usb port comes close it will work fine
Sent from my MB526 using XDA

I bought this (without 2nd accu loader), it's perfect! There were 2 cables included: power only & usb

I bought a Philips AS111 , it has a powerful speaker and a display for clock, it works very well with the defy, only problem is that it's a little difficult to insert the phone on the micro-usb connector (maybe it's because is recessed for protection on defy)

I have made a dock for myself using a low power magnet...
but need a dock with inbuilt USB...
is this dock available in India? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I have built one from LEGO with magnet and there is also place to use it with USB cable connected
It's working fine, and it was free

Using the 'Brando' style. There is a recess where you can put a magnet (if you can find or cut one that fits), but I just use the short cut for the desk dock mode.

Is it safe to ship this device to India?
Hi Guys,
the device mentioned which is sold by Brando.com is very good. the finish and the overall quality looks good. And for <$25 I think it is a bargain. :angel:
The only problem is I have to ship this product to India from US of A. I have no problem paying the money through some required credit cards ets... the thing is I am not comfortable with ordering things from outside the country (if some delivery issues happen I could just ring a call to the shop if shop is in india but I do not know about the response I would get from this order).
Is it safe to buy it from brando.com to india???

Motorola MB525 Defy 2nd Battery Cradle
KiDiGi usb Cradle for Motorola MB525 Defy
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KiDiGi-NEW-...Accessories&hash=item4aab2947b1#ht_3093wt_952

Well, I've got this KiDiGi dock and for the most part it's OK. It charges the second battery and the phone when slotted in.
However, recently I've had a few issues. As it's mounted on it's side it stays like that but things activate themselves, change settings and do all sorts of stuff as if I'm randomly pressing buttons. Not sure why, but it's only plugged into power to charge and as such it now means I can't do anything with the Defy whilst it's in the dock.

Bulk interest Philips Qi charger??

I'm sorry guys, just checked the stock again and almost all the stores in the country are empty now I suspect that some Dutch people who read this thread quickly got one themselves or something. A store which had 4 yesterday, now has 0 and normally these chargers never sell fast. I still have two reserved which I will offer to the people that first responded (will contact you soon).
Sorry again! I really hate that this happened but I couldn't go and bought some yesterday without knowing if people are interested and being stuck with them.
Admin plz lock this topic!
Hi all,
The Philip Qi charger just got discounted here in The Netherlands to €20, this one: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/-/-dlp7210b_10/prd/en/consumer
However, shipping to the US is normally very expensive (0 to 2kg = €19,95). But if I strip the chargers from their packaging and only send the charger/powersupply I can fit about 7 in the box which results in $32 (€23) total costs. I know another XDA user (dralways) who arranged the N4 and N10 for me I could ship the chargers to him so you could pick it up (stillwater, oklahoma) at his house or he could ship it from within the US.
This topic is to see if there is any interest as I know quality Qi chargers are very expensive in the US and I like to help you guys out.
You can have it for $32 (€23) but I always appreciate a small tip for my troubles ? I will test them all before shipping. Payment is through PayPal if we can gather enough people to proceed.
About the charger: it has a very good build quality and charges as quick as the normal USB charger. Output of the Qi charger is 1 A or 1000 ma compared to the 1.2 A or 1200 ma of the stock USB charger, so very close. Furthermore, one of the stronger Qi chargers I've seen. I don't have any troubles to get my phone to 100% (some chargers are reported to charge only to somewhere in the 90s). I will try to post some pictures tonight!
Let me know, if you are interested!
Rob
UPDATE:
I can probably fit one charger in a large padded envelope, shipping to the US would be €9,50 so if you prefer to have it send straight to your home we are talking about $40 (€29,50). For other countries, just contact me for a shipping price. The stock at the stores is very limited (I know someone who works at one of the stores and can check the stock of others) so I've to look, depending on demand, how much I'm able to get. If I can get interest in 7 devices total for bulk then that one has priority,
Users interested (need to have interest for 7 units total):
- Jrob2k (1)
- nateysmith (2 or 3)
- incognito2 (1)

I'm interested

@nateysmith it works wonderful here, haven't had any problems with it. Note that the charging output is 1 A (or 1000 ma) which is very close to the 1.2 A (1200 ma) of the USB charger. Most Qi chargers have a lower output.

What is the connection like from the mains to the charger? Is it something I might already have (MicroUSB? I can dream...) or would I need to find a mains adapter to use it in Canada?

The standard European one so you have to get a travel adapter or something or look here: www.dealextreme.com
I use that site alot, a US to Europe (so other way around) is only $1,50 incl. shipping

Nope, I can fit one in a large envelope. 2 is always possible but then the shipping costs are €19.95. That is why I'm trying to get a bulk of 7 shipped to dralways in the US so let me know what you want.
I will try to buy as many chargers as I can get this week, so far I have 2 reserved in one store and 2 in another. There is a possibility that I can get 3 - 4 more available in another store, so stay tuned!

Would love to get 3 to germany. I send you a PM

n00b status, but PM sent. Thanks. :good:
