http://cgi.ebay.com/Dopod-U1000-HTC...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Is this legit?
How else can I get a Dopod u1000 here in the US?
Thanks

Yes that is legit. But I am sorry I wont be buying it. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay and that is well overpriced. If you want it go for it. But hey I find that overpriced.

How low can I get it for and where?
Also, will I have to wait for english ROM?
Many thanks.

The one on ebay has Operation System : Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone (World Wide English).... so that kinda solves your problem of the english ROM. And it solves another of your problems that you havent mentioned. That is the chinese characters on the keyboard. i am sure you wouldnt want that. But it is $1500USD...
............................................................
The one being sold here by WU15903 whatever his name is.... err he is selling for $1300USD right? But it has a chinese ROM for now not a big deal because you can overflash it. But there is one problem that the keyboard has chinese characters on it. So it is certainly a option i wouldnt choose. Almost the same price. I guess those are the only two ways to get it for you...
...................................................................................................
But if I were you.... I would go onto google. Select preferences and select chinese, japanese, taiwanese and korean languages only. then search for 'buy dopod U1000' and many shops and other places where you can buy it for cheaper. except its all in jebrish so you gotta guess your way through using logic. and maybe you can grab yourself a sweet deal for $1000USD. hmm?
.....................................................................................................
But if you are a lazy guy and dont want to take the trouble of searching. Just close your eyes and go for the ebay one. Although you will face maybe a $300-$500USD loss. But i guess when you get the phone you wont find any flaws in it and will be very happy regardless of the price. So just go for the ebay one... lemme know what you choose.

That's interesting wu. Never thought of how simply that could be done. I'm definitely up for a sturdier keyboard anyway and an extra number row would make life easier.

Anyways going back to the topic. what have you decided fpbiii? where will you buy the dopod u1000 from?

Still haven't decided.
Believe it or not, the dealbreaker will be if it can fit in my pants pocket and I can handle the discomfort.
Can someone please post a picture of this thing in your pocket or something to help me decide. Once I know, I will buy! I like the one on ebay, but paying 1500 is outrageous. I will wait until it comes down around 1100 or so. I would take either the silver or black one.

Ok if you want the black one order it from 972telecom.com. thats where i have also placed my pre-order. Its around $1000CDN on pre-order. Much cheaper than the dopod u1000 and much better. Let me know what you decide. You will have to pay $50-$100 on customs. I agree $1500USD is outrageous. And truly its uncomfortable in the pockets of your trousers. There is a high chance you might damage the screen or keyboard in your pocket. It is like a mini-book in the trouser! very discomforting. I am sure you dont need to see pictures for that
********************************************************************
Let me know what you decide ^^ because i would highly recommend 972telecom.com a store in montreal. Very good store. I will be picking up my black athena from there in april.

so did they say even if the device comes out to be more expensive, they won't charge you more from the pre-order price? if that's the case, then great news. However, when you say it's much better then DOPOD U1000? what do you mean? they are the same? just the colour is different? is that your personal view point again?

Yes all the devices have similar spec's. I just prefer the black one because of the material it uses and I have never possessed a HTC Branded phone before. I dont know how much of your story about dopod is true but they are certainly a huge company like t-mobile. I also like the material HTC used for the body frame part. Anyways the pre-order price is fixed. I can pay it all off now or later. But the price is fixed and i will ask him to send me an invoice/quote to proove it hence.
*************************************************
Regardless, what i find amazing is that htcphonestore.com still retails Universal for $1100USD and Athena is only $1500USD.... i mean like does that mean that not much has changed from Universal -> Athena? Because I find that Universal is only worth maybe $500 - $600USD.

actually, the devices have exactly the same spec. btw have you hold an Advantage in your hand? did you go to the 3GSM? just want to know that.
Well, if the pre-order price is fix, then you can send a e-mail to expansys or mobile planet to tell them to remove their listing of Advantage, because they won't get any order if the price elsewhere is so much cheaper.
Also, this is just my PERSONAL though, the website you place pre-order on, it doesn't look very professional for me, any one think the same way?

why dont you fly to their store then.. and yes i havent held a Advantage in my hand ever. But just so that why dont you call HTC and ask them what material is the body made of? prolly that will satisfy you?

man, i though you have been following the post before, i was one of the tester of Advantage, i actually hold one in front of me before. I don't need to call them, because there is nothing i can find out. Basically, the only difference between them are the colour, material is down to your personal taste, all i can say is DOPOD (probably Ameo as well) is smoother surface, where Advantage is rougher.
One thing i am sure is you will be flashing DOPOD or Ameo Rom in the future.
p.s. And also, i am not saying the store is fake, i am just saying their website doesn't look very professional.

well, if you have place your pre-order, then there is nothing i can say,
although i will suggest any other people who consider buying the Advantage to wait until it's actually in-stock.
If the price is like what nuclear said so much cheaper than the official price, than i am sure all other store will have it as well. Don't rush yourself into this. Better wait and see, maybe you can get a even better deal!
Not much different if you place your pre-order now, you will still get it around the same time.

Is my android real?

I'm buying my phone from an offshore supplier which dont give the real box or manual.
When it arrives how can I check that its real and not a fake.
Thanks

Also, what rom is better. And which do you recommend me to install?

If you're worried about it being fake, that's the first red flag. The fake G1's I know of don't have a keyboard. They are OKish phones for the price, but are generally made by the lesser clone companies, don't run android are inferior to a real G1.
Have you got an url or something?

I paid $150 which is way too good to be true. They refunded me because they found out themself its not real product.
I now bought one from ebay. Used one
Can anyone recommend me which rom they prefer? I'm too lazy to flash to 5 different roms

Wow, that's pretty good of them, there's plenty of people out there who aren't trying to shaft you, but they hide well.
Probably should just get comfortable with a stock rom for a few days while you're reading up on the scene, then start with the latest stable cyanogen (currently 4.0.4)

If your to lazy to flash different roms to see what you like then I wouldn't recommend flashing anything or rooting cause its a non stop process.

My Version Of Android On HD2...

Theres not a forum for engraving so I just went with general, if I chose the wrong one, sorry. Anyway, I felt a little creative today at work, and since Ive been running the new Android releases I thought Id make my phone a little unique...
Going to add "Android" with the same font used in their ads. Would offer to do this for other members if anyone was interested but probably go against their copyright or something.

Can you engrave pretty much whatever you want? I'd pay to get something custom on the back of my HD2...

What he said.

Anything but Diamonds really haha. We dont have crazy graphics software. So everything has to be text or some type of geometric shape. Like the Bot I did up there^^ I had to draw that by hand because we dont have anything to convert, say, the original picture I got online. But ya, Id do some engravings for XDA members. Ive done scooter decks and wheels for people on another forum Im registered with. PM me ideas if youre serious.

wow that's clean. great work.

Hey man awesome stuff.
How much would you want for something like that?
And are you willing to ship it over to the UK?
Im thinking I could buy a new back cover, ship it to you, pay for you to put the droid on it and then ship it over to me in the uk?
I understand thats a pain in the arse Wouldn't blame you if you dont want to go to the hassel!

its 3.7 same as nexus one and bigger than iphone

How is 3.7 inches small? =/
Honestly I am getting tired of these two groups of people: 1) "I am going to sell my Vibrant for the G2 because Vibrant sucks" and 2) "Vibrant is the greatest thing ever... G2 sucks". Seriously people, they are both great phones. Get over it.

Glad you told us. I for one really sincerely am concerned about what you do with your personal property. You selling your phone is so important to tell everyone, so i am glad you did. Bottling it up inside isnt healthy.
Good luck on your important life journey of what electronics you use.

Were is the "Like" Button when you need it

OP good luck with your investment, money well spent...BTW Samsung still gets your money whether you sell it or not

Ha-ha, yea I'm glad the OP let us in in his decision. Now I can finally get some rest...

What is this? You just want to let people know how unfairly you were treated by your phone? Or perhaps T-Mobile? "Waaah, my phone doesnt have froyo yet"? Do us all a favor and cry yourself a river, build yourself a bridge and get the f**k over it.

maybe you shouldn't let craigslist retards bother you so much that you post on another site about it

I like how he tried to use his email address to establish some form of credibility. Congrats dude, you were the SECOND person who tried to get unlockwireless from gmail, either that you you just suck at spelling. How about you put enough effort into registering your own domain first, then maaaaaybe some people will take you seriously.. but judging by the way you speak to others I find that highly unlikely.

Call me old fashioned, but.....
Why would you talk to a stranger like that?
You must have known after his second email that you weren't going to be selling it to him. Why not take the higher road, wish him a good day, and end it there?

Maybe we should all send him email asking him how much he's selling Vibrants....I bet over 300!

Scrizz, I really would of expected more from you..
Really think next time.. Ok, so this is what you do
1.) Tell him "Ok, $150 sounds good" (After he shuts up)
2.) Meet Him
3.) *POW* "Does that look like a $150 phone?!?!"
4.) Walk away and wait for more replies.
