Hello everyone, I'm brand new to XDA, but heard so many things I finally decided to join.
After seeing the Hero's interface I decided I cannot wait until it's released. It'll probably be even longer until the NAM 3G version comes dragging along.
I want to buy a Rogers Magic in the meantime so I can use it on AT&T and flash the Hero Rom on it.
The only problem is I can't find one that I can actually buy and have shipped to the US from Canada.
Any ideas? Recommended sites or sellers?
Thanks
Only place I know of other than Rogers. But I never really looked, just bought it from Rogers.
Sorry that's not the Rogers branded, It was listed as Rogers a few weeks ago must have changed suppiers or something.

Thanks for the site, but that one isn't the US/Rogers 3G banded one with 288MB.
How do you buy it directly from Rogers if you live in the US?
I have what your looking for if interested?

Please check your pm or call me for I have what your looking for 99% brand new with not one scratch roger's magic that yes does work on att 3g flawlessly complete with original box and all accessories 2 weeks old today to sell. They sell for over $600.00 and I would do to give you an idea around $520.00 shipped. Thx, Kev
Keep a sharp eye on ebay. I bought one of the first few Rogers' devices for $475 shipped, brand new.
check ebay canada.... you can probably get it for $450 as i got mine for $441..
To the OP, contact the guy that has posted above me. He has one he is selling since he is on T-Mobile US and needs the 1700 band.
I have been looking for a customized htc magic in black. I know i could get one from rogers on ebay, but it comes preloded with some rogers applications. Orange Switzerland seems to be selling one that is totally unbranded. Does anyone know where i can find one online.
Edit: I already checked ebay and they didn't have any.
Bought mine in Mobilezone (Zürich): unbranded Black HTC. They bundle it with any existing contract of yours. However, if you buy a Rogers via eBay you can flash it to whatever you like... so why worry? Maybe I didn't get the point.

Frank
Thanks for the website, but i don' quite understand what you mean by:

They sell the devices and add the contract. If you subsrcibed to orange and are eligible (from orange) for a new device within your contract, you will get a discount on the branded device.

I've got an HTC Magic from Orange

And here:
http://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetails2.aspx?Reiter=Bilder&Artikel=162828
Both unbranded, the first one the Orange Version. But look out. The lady at the callcenter told me that they're selling both 288MB and 192MB versions.
And yes, it is, totally unbranded. Just HTC Stuff on it.
@Isilmalith
i looked at the site, and it is exactly what i am looking for. However, it is a tad too expensive. i was looking for one at about 450 CHF.
Do you know where i can find this phone locked but without a contract?
I have means of unlocking it myself.
Digitec is the cheapest source for a Phone without contract, there is no way to get a HTC Magic for 450.-, unless you find some at ebay or www.ricardo.ch (which is much more popular in switzerland).
Are you from switzerland?
no i am not in switzerland, in the US and it is not on ebay
I am in the same boat. I want a Magic that can be rooted and work in the US on TMOBILE. If anyone has one for sale or know where I can find one, let me know.
What does A6262 mean? I went to ebay and found some Hero's that has A6262 and it shows on their description that you can use 3G in the US (American Version). Does anybody know about this? Thanks
I have no idea what it means, but why don't you give us a link to the ebay auction?
A6262 is a model number, same as the diamond was the T7272
i very much doubt that it is an American one as it has not been released yet and is probably a pre-order or a scam.
here's the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Hero-A6262-...ones?hash=item4a9a203f24&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
the box mine came in says A6262, and mine is a white UK SIM-FREE Hero.

If you read the auction, it clearly states way down at the bottom that it is not compatible with US 3G. The auction is just stating what the US bands are, not that the device is compatible with them.
I think this thread should be closed before it creates a whole muss of confusion over the inability to actually read something the whole way through.
Also, A6262 is the model number. A quick google search would have pulled that up as well.
it's still bogus though,surely? A UK "never opened" model can't be brown and unlocked, can it? isn't the white the only one that's available sim-free in the UK?
it could have been unlocked, reflashed, etc, but then it wouldn't be "never opened"

It's not brown - it's black, as per the Ebay auction title. It just has a stock picture of a brown hero. Plenty of places seem to be selling black sim-free Hero's.

I have a UK hero and it is the same code as posted by op, i got mine from mobiles.co.uk its unlocked as i have tried orange and o2 sims and it says brown but looks more black to me with a brown bezel round it.
dunno where I got brown from, odd I believe handtec said only the white model was available sim-free in the UK, *officially*, but they could be wrong. or I could
I see that neither of: Expansys, Handtec, Amazon, Insight, mobilephonesdirect - all official HTC retailers - offer a black Hero in the UK.
Expansys are the only ones offering brown, but have none in stock (6 day lead time), whereas they have hundreds of white in stock.
Handtec explicitly note that the brown model is not available in the UK.
The others offer solely white (in sim-free).

Our stock of both pink and brown (no sniggering at the back) is sourced directly from HTC and so is generic, unlocked. However we only supply it on contract.

thanks for the confirmation; ah well, white isn't so bad, he said, trying to convince himself. I'm getting quite used to it...

Im just about to orde, looks very good in RED
its so subtle on the front, just a hint of red, it looks really good. i would think of buying it in that color but its so much on the back. does distinguish the phone though.
damn it i want one now.. do you know if they ship outside of UK?
Does anyone know when or if the other colours are to come out?

I read somewhere that a guy purchased one from dell and he lived in the USA and was told they would not ship it to USA as it has not got the right phone settings for the USA
