Does anyone know where you can buy the Shift for immediate delivery in the UK or do you have the details of any overseas supplier that is reliable. I have the money to purchase one but cannot find a supplier at the moment.
I got mine from chicago, they import from europe. Onthegosolutions i called them to verify stock, bought online, called again to verify i would recieve the next day and wala, it was in my hands. They were very helpful.

thanks rpawly - a few UK suppliers claim to be waiting on deliveries. If I dont secue one by next week I will contact that company in the US. Cheers
that actually would be funny,
i contacted a us company that imports from europe,
your in uk (from our view, i know not yours) your in europe and will contact usa store that imports from europe so you can export it back to europe.
crazy stuff
Yes its crazy, but as long as I get it, thats all that maters to me.
The wait is over
I managed to get one from super gps Just playing with my new device now. This is going to be so much fun!!
HTC Shift

Has anyone already got a German Shift (QWERTZ keyboard) and if so how and where did you get it?
Amazon.de just mailed that "the item is very hard do get. Do you want to cancel your order?"

Hi Einsiedler,
I ordered with Amazon on 2nd December now the site says availability 9. April and in my account the date has been 8. April for weeks now.
I guess we have to wait a little longer. Today there was an offer on Ebay without specifications of the keyboard layout. I asked for it and a little bit later the offer was taken off by Ebay I guess.
And I got an email by Ebay in which they said that a doubtful email was sent to me by the the person I asked for the keyboard specifications.
We must swallow the truth that there ain't any Shifts around in Germany. Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid.

Und ich teile
same for me: No qwertz-Shift. Also no pictures yet. Mid April?
My Amazon order has NO date at moment.
By now HTC is well-known for its strange (i.e. non-existent) information policy. But their distributors seem to kid their clients in the same way. My amazon-order already has been postponed a few times after giving me fix dates for delivery. Today I got the same mail as EinSiedler telling me that at the moment they don't know nothing about a forthcoming delivery. At the same time however Amazon changed the availability status of the Shift from "bestellbar" (order now) to "lieferbar ab dem 9. April" (available 9th of april). What is the name of the game they're playing with us?
amazon.de will deliver mine on the 11th of April.
Maybe I order the normal English version and use tipp-ex on the keyboard.....
Received the same Email this morning - one day after postponing the delivery date to infinity. Quite chaotic.
But hopefully they are right - this time.
BTW: I assume it's the quertz-version. Anyway: Better we learn blind-typing instead of messing around with Tipp-ex.
Date shifting
Hi,
no, I don't think that it is Amazon. I guess it is the information policy of HTC, but it is another question how the distributors handle their cluelessness. Worst of all is Expansys. For months they have been giving out exact dates olny to put them back when the time arrives.
At the moment is says: Verfügbarkeit (availability): ca. 1 Tag. Just for the fun of it have a look what will happen today or tomorrow. What they do is downright disgusting.
I ordered the Shift with Amazon on 2nd December 2007. For weeks now the date in my account is 8th of April. On their site it is 9th of April, supposing that I am lucky I might get it on 11th of April.

Shifting availability
Hi,
from Amazon I just got this email:
Wir liefern vorbestellte Artikel so aus, dass Sie sie am
09.04.2008 in Empfang nehmen sollten. Wobei wir die übliche
Transportzeit hier miteinkalkulieren und Ihre Sendung entsprechend
rechtzeitig losschicken.
So, if lucky I'll get it on the 9th next month, but who can trust the month of April funniest of all the months starting with the first.

For the Krauts here in the forum:
Shift qwertz ist available from Monday. Some dealers report they got a tracking number from DHL today, so Monday it should be in stock!
Hi,
I live in Australia and noticed on expansys AU that the Shift is on there twice, one as HTC Shift http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=157607 and the other as HTC Shift X9500 http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=165677
All of the specs seem the same except the X9500 has a 40GB hard drive instead of a 30GB and the X9500 is heaps cheaper........
The other thing is Hong Kong sells the X9500 $650 cheaper than the Australian HTC Shift but the language is (Traditional Chinese), what does this mean...... is the operating system chinese only or is the keyboard and everything Chinese??
Does anyone know what is going on here???
Thanks

First link is not good, remove the "and" from the link and it's working again
As I can see only the HD is different yes.
I think the Chinese version has another keyboard layout. Maybe also the WM is Chinese and maybe also Vista, but can't tell you this..

Sorry I fixed the first link it had "and" stuck at the end of the address.....
OK, I have found the X9500 in English so the Chinese is no problem now, The HTC Shift in Australia is$2194.95AU and the HTC Shift X9500 in Hong kong with 10GB more is $1511.13AU Thats $683.00 AU difference....... Thats a massive difference for the same device and if you pay less, you get a bigger harddrive...... Something is really strange here.
For that massive saving I am willing to send it back to Hong Kong for Warranty if something goes wrong.
Seems the HD will be available in stores on November 11 in the Netherlands.
Thats less then 2 weeks from now.
Any one knows its a real?

I wouldn't go for it if I were you. They're based in Ft Lauderdale (US), the HD doesn't come out in the US and the device hasn't been officially released yet. So if you want to kiss your money goodbye...

Hi Arman,
Thanks for your response.
Total + Delivery: $640
For payments we accept Western Union Money Transfer. Do you know where a Western union agent is located?
Regards,
Alfonso.
Realy FAKE!
yahoo mail????
he he.. fake fake fake
If the mode of payment is western union, it is almost definitely a scam. Don't fall for it.
sure fake. I had contact on www.alibaba.com with several similar sellers. They said it's in Stock...sent from the UK. But Western Union payment. So for sure it's fake. They even said it has TV-out and they could provide me with the cabel etc.
As in one post was said a person from HTC confirmed no TV-out, I was more sure it's a fake.
oh haha i have contacted this electromatic inc place about a month ago, since they were the first to claim to have HD in stock when the product was just annouced. i smelled fake as soon as he wanted Western Union. but interestingly, his name was not "alfonso" back then, it was "Giorgio".
I wanted to play around with him, so i asked if i can meet him in person with a suit case of cash so he can get his money faster and i can get my phone faster (since he claimed he has them in stock).
His response: "our store location is quite difficult to find, it will take you a long time to find us. It will only add to your frustration. The easiest and fastest way is still to use Western Union, so you don't have to worry about a thing and save you lots of gas in this harsh economic time."
OOOOhhhhhhh, Giorgio, you crack me up... or is that Alfonso?
HAHA! Oh boy...when will these people ever learn?! The dead giveaway was Western Union for payment. I'm glad you guys are toying with them still. Stick it to them.
Fake, dont buy

Not the cheapest deal - but then it is actually sitting here right now

But don't know where has best price and can ship to Hong Kong........
Anyone can tell me please?

Kayzee,
You can use Expansys in UK or Clove UK....but no test first ..because it sealed..
You can also buy here in HK, but it's HKD 6,500 with only shop warranty..but you can test first..
It is some shop in Mongkok... let me know if youre interested...? PM me..

Mate, did you have to pay any GST or Duty ?
Looking to get one soon. Do you know if HTC Australia will accept any warranty claims ?
Cheers.
If you don't mind the customer services issues and think purely on the tangible bottom line - then you should go for mobiles.co.uk I say.
Got mine from mobiles.co.uk - arrived with no real problems.
Customer Services are very hit and miss but as I now have my phone I can go to my local Carphone Warehouse shop should it need the attention of the repairs department.
Thanks for all your replies; and so quickly...........great forum.
Have a great day guys.

if the FCC ID in not written the usa customs will not relase the device untill you provide them the FCC ID
which will take more time
Just got my confirmation shipped email from GOOGLE checkout. I couldn't email or fax HANDTEC copies of my bill, for proof that it is actually me that ordered but found another means of showing proof it was me. Hopefully by the end of the week, i will FINALLY have the BLACKSTONE in my hands.....now i just need to find someone who will buy my TOUCH PRO (shameless plug for trying to sell my week and a half old TOUCH PRO with the snap-on case...anyone interested PM me lol)
Thanks for all the good info guys!
