Early purchase for Australians?

Does anyone have any sources for early buying of the HTC HD for Australia. I believe the device has already released in Germany but have been unable to find any suppliers who will ship.
The diamond took almost 4 months extra to get here.

I called Telstra, as they are a fond carrier of HTC products and they don't have a date. So I emailed today their rep and as soon as I hear from her, I will post it.
However, if you get any info here in Australia, let me know. Maybe Harvey Norman will carry them ??!!?
If it takes too long, I'll just find a good supplier from Europe.
Cheers.

still not sure how it will run on Telstra's nextG seeing as the phone will not be 850MHz... HTC have stated that they will not produce a HD that is compatible with US 3G networks- a 850MHz phone would mean one that is.....
on the other hand...... i want one for 3!!! wonder how i can pay for it.... get a decent free phone with a new contract, sell the phone on ebay and use the proceeds to go towards paying for the HD......????

G2 ( MyTouch ) Unofficially Confirmed By Tmobile Reps

Hey guys, Just wanted to let everyone know, I dropped by the T-mobile store ( USA ) today to ask around and see if anybody there knew about the G2 ( MyTouch, What tmobile will be calling it when released. )
Unlike many of the rumors according to online sources, it is in fact, coming to T-mobile only. Thats right, T-mobile is the only company to get the badass phone xD!
I asked a buddy of mine that worked there about release dates and other cool new things coming for T-mobile users. He told me the G2 (MyTouch) is scheduled to be released mid/late of next month. Yep, in August. And that they had a manager down in San antonio Texas, training on the phone as we speak. I will be going back tomorrow when he gets back in town, and get all the juicy details and post them here! ( And if he lets me, some pictures ) And also we have another goody coming to us, Were aren't at 3g JUST quite yet. But August 1st, We will be getting EDGE everywhere on the T-mobile network. That was guaranteed from the store manager there. And 3G will be coming for us, sometime around december of this year. ( 3G everywhere ) not just in metro areas. ( Hurray for all the country people....IE....me )
Now I know this isn't an official saying or whatever. I don't have links, and I don't have sources you guys know and trust. But I do trust buddies of mine and the people that work at this T-mobile store. They haven't let me down yet. So, I guess we can only wait and see if it does come to T-mobile only.
Like someone said though, and I totally agree. T-mobile would be complete idiots to let this phone go to someone else. If it was to happen. There not dumb. So hurray for t-mobile users. We should have our brand new MyTouch at the end of August. So we don't have to wait to much longer guys!

http://www.t-mobilemytouch.com
If you go to the T-mobile myTouch website it has a countdown timer. It says 20 days and some change. Also lets you see all the info and features of it.
Of course it will be the same thing as the HTC Magic on Vodafone and Rogers...

Exactly. Seems like tmobile is actually the LAST to be getting it....

In fact, Im getting a vodafone magic shipped to me tomorrow. I have at&t, and I will have it before T-mobile!

lol i double checked the date when he posted pre-sale is already done too it started july 7th and from my confirmation mine should arrive aug 3rd
Oh and welcome to the forums

I love how on all their promotions they are quick to include " super fast 3G" network. Here in Jacksonville, Fl. it will be 2012 be fore we get 3g. By then eveyone else will have 4 or 5g. I am really starting to hate Tmobile.
But phone looks great. I think I will stick with my G1. I like the real keyboard, just me though.

seriously? the presale started july 8. the preorders are being shipped at the beginning of august. these two things have been known and officially announced facts for at least a month now.
but the other guys are quite correct, the same phone has been out on the european market since at least the first week of may.
by the way, confirming all of this would have been as simple as checking the t-mobile website.

But then he couldn' have got " all the juicy details and post them here!"....
-bZj

go to any local T-mobile store. they were all issued 3-4 phones to show customers one of each color at least. The packaging is really nice also. leather bag with a nice cloth sack, and nice headphones and usb/charger

"badass" phone? Yeah... with a whopping 192mb of RAM as opposed to the 288 the rest of the planet gets. Badass indeed.
I'm over the MyTouch 3G. I went ahead and bought a used G1 and am saving my upgrade till later this year, early next year till T-mo gets a better Android phone. When I mentioned this to the rep adding my data plan, he implied that as a fellow phone geek, I was doing the right thing and that while he couldn't give details, I would be very happy with what's in the pipeline.

between the four major us carriers, 15-20 android devices are to be released in the next year. so far only three of those are slated for carriers other than TMO. so yes, you'll be happy with whats coming down the pipe.

I wonder how many of those are HTC's? This is definately something to watch.

HTC HD2 US release date, price, etc...?

I know we here in the US can get one for $800 or so by getting it from a importer. But do you think a US version coming in a few months will be basically the same price or lower and have full 3G for AT&T and Tmobile? Whats the best guess for the date here in the US?

Word on the street is 1st quarter (no date) with Tmobile. Guessing $399 w/ 2year contract.

Good question. I am hoping that it hits T-mobile shelves, cause the android devices they have now suck.

I got my WWE HD2 today from a shipper within the US. Of course it is not US 3g but it works great on ATT!

Soon, and will be identical with US 3G. Just expect that there will be NO WM7 upgrade available for it, like many think. I heard there is HTC HD3 in the works that will be released with WM7 and don't expect to have it from this website as WM7 based on a COMPLETELY new CE architecture...

-_- I wish I could have caught that site...I'm willing to pay for the nxt day shipping too...anyone want to sell me theres for $900 + shipping!?

The search for a sim free LT15a (UMTS 850)....

There seems to be quite a few people wanting an Arc to suit AT&T, Telstra, Rogers, etc.
I have posted a message here:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...its-the-stores/comment-page-1/#comment-149670
And Rikard replied saying he will try to find out what is available for us.
If any one has any info about availability of the LT15a, please post it here.
Edit:
Late April for Rogers: http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/03/31/r...and-arc-launching-late-april-99-99-on-3-year/

I did add another request to make sure he sees the demand. Hopefully he gets some answers.

I don't like creating new post while there are some existing. Rogers will have the ARC out by end of this month (maximum in 26 days) has anyone else in the world getting arc working on 850? Brazil?
People with Rogers, have they release any price without contract yet?
Thanks

I found this page, where they say they have an HSDPA 850/1900/2100/800
http://www.bestnydepot.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x12-arc-anzu.html
Is it a mistake?.

and I assume that you have read the description too:
Quick Overview
The specifications suggest that Cliaro (possibly Xperia X12) will have TI OMAP4 1.5GHz processor, Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a 4-inch AMOLED 1080×720 resolution screen. The 10mm thick Xperia X12 is also expected to sport a 12 megapixel camera.

I called one of these re-seller which have no clue whatsoever about the arc. He said that this is what SE website stating and they have all the HSDPA band included in one phone and after I insisted, he went actually and test the phone with this sim-card and convinced that it does not have the 850 band.

Is there any generic LT15a? Telstra doesn't get one since they gave it to orange and optus
Rogers is the only one we all know is getting it but what about other countries in america?
Waiting may be dangerous for me

Rogers is releasing it between 14-21st of April ie what most sources and Rogers said

@ least its nice that you guys don't have to deal with ATT. I think their wireless department is completely dead.

I thought this is the only place I can share my pain (reminding me when I was waiting for my X10a) when it comes to gadgets I am like a 2 years old baby screaming.
Checking everyday for a sign of LT15a on ebay or anywhere else but no sign and more killer feeling. Am I the only one in pain?

Here the same. I guess we will see it on ebay once Rogers release LT15a. I hope Rogers will sell it without a contract.

There was a second price leak from Rogers showing the off contract price for 549 CA Dollar.
But I am assuming that lots of people get them and sell them on eBay. Its like taking forever now.

I am too even though the hardware specs on Arc don't get me too excited, I just want a change from X10a. I almost used X10 for a year. I wanted to give Galaxy S2 a chance but even that is pushed further and the wait is killing me.

Yes the hardware was important once for me when I got my HD2 as soon as it came out but then design was more important and hardware won't play a big difference for me since I am more for the design and how the phone feels. To me ARC specs are reasonably good for what it is.
I am also going from X10a and arc should be a good replacement. Galaxy S2 is pushed back to May or June?

Just called Rogers to see what it's going to cost to do an early upgrade from my X10a. They don't have it in the system yet so they couldn't give me a price :-( Will try later on.
Not sure if I should stick with branded Rogers to get retain that awesome warranty they have or if I should screw the warranty and go with a unbranded version. The warranty is important because I run & bike with my X10a (since I found a great fitness app) so I think it's just a matter of time before I kill it.

One thing that I am not sure is when you buy it from Rogers buy off contract would that be unbranded or not(I assume not) but unless you buy lt15a from Rogers I don't know anywhere else selling them at this moment.
This was the one last leaked out on April 4th HERE about pricing.

I feel your pain too Nimche.
I've tried contacting se to no avail. You wouldn't think they would make it so difficult to buy their products. No info from se at all.

Hyper x10 soon to be Hyper arc(a)
Well, I just chatted with SE rep in the US and no news. They keep saying availabliity in some markets and I can't find any answer what market are they talking about. I should go find a friend in Canada to get me one as soon as it is out.
I checked here on Firmware roll-outs and it pretty much like LT15i except lt15a had one sooner than (i)

Hope to see some lights soon or find a contact @ SE with some answers.

HTC One in Canada.

Thought I would start this thread for those who have info regarding the upcoming release of the One in Canada.
I have pre-ordered mine through Rogers. I believe the pre-order ends on March 22. Perhaps that is when we may expect the release of the One. That's the most solid info that seems to be floating around.
Anyone have info related to the Canadian release date, please post.

But can i buy it from Telus and use it on Koodo? From my understanding, its the same company, same network, so will i have any issues? Some network incompatibility?
Just moving back to Canada and need to get a plan and phone so im leaning towards Koodo as it offers good plans.

Really hoping the production delays won't be affecting us Canadians too much. I'm keeping close tabs on Mobilesyrup for any news regarding the One's release. Didn't go w/ the pre-order through Rogers. Figured I'll probably get it faster if I check various Rogers stores the day it's released.

Yes,
I did the opposite. I bought a One V from Koodo outright ($175), put my Telus sim card in it and was up and running in no time.
A Telus or Koodo "locked" device work on either. My "my Telus Mobility" page even shows a Koodo One V as my current phone.

Be careful, MOST of devices work on both carriers, but som eare locked to Koodo or Telus. For instance, Blackberries are locked, you cannot use a Telus Blackberry on Koodo.

Any news guys?

Damn I am jealous of all you guys. I got an HTC One X+ about 4 months ago. I would love to have the One but I need to wait for the next iteration. I know for the vast majority of people the storage is enough, but I need at least 64GB. My one X+ has 4 GB free and it is 64. Here is to hoping for the next one. I love the build quality of HTC devices compared to other android vendors, and from what it seems this one is the best so far.

Yup, blackberries are unique because of BBM and the fact that their email etc has to be routed through their servers. That is also why all companies have smartphone plans, then blackberry plans due to the licencing fee. If it is not a Blackberry, it should be fine. The fellow I responded to was asking specifically about the One

I am hoping the 64gb version of the One makes it here (in black). If not, 32gb is fine for me at least. I got the One V as a temp phone cause I was pissed last years One XL and S had only 16gb versions for Canada. Almost jumpsed on the One X+ but figured i'd wait for the inevitable spring / MWC ish flagship that HTC always releases. I am glad I did.

I read that it would be available in March. I haven't read of any delays in Canada. Nothing other than they won't disclose a launch date and it is nearing the end of the month.
So perhaps it no longer is March.

In fact, they just delayed even further the release on the other markets (i.e., Italy was March end, now is April 13th)
