Hi peeps!
Can somebody please post here what the exact dimension and weight of x7501 box? I am planning to have it shipped through Fedex to here in the Philippines. I also bought a Plantronics Pulsar 260 so if somebody knows it's exact dimension/weight too, I would really very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I can't remember but less than 30CM cubed

X7501 box size
208x147x147mm @ 1.520 KG
Happy new Year
All the Best.
Thank you very much SuperDDD!
Ciao!
Jetherson,
I'm planning to also bring in an HTC Advantage (price of one here is isanely high Php 65K)and the seller uses FedEx for shipping. Did some calls and found out that you have to get a permit from NTC to import or a certificate to import which cost around Php 240.00 before you can have any Mobile Phone or PPC sent to the country or else FedEx will not release the Phone to you. You also have to pay a certain brokerage fee and 12% VAT which FedEx will first pay customs on your behalf. PPC or Mobile Phones do not require payment of Import Taxes or Duties except for the 12% VAT.
yes yetdy, i paid like $150 last january for my dell latitude d820 laptop through fedex.
i think i will just have to ask a friend who's coming home after a month.
sigh.
hello, are 7500 and 7501 different?how about the drive issues?is it already fix?
The only thing different now is the secondary camera. OS version is now the same but I don't know if they have the same bundled software. Regarding the MD issue, there are some people who do experience problems with it but then again, I do not think it is the majority of those who own the Athena. Just like any products, there are factory defects however stringent the QC process is. However, based on some posts/threads the MD is a power hog that is why they are looking for mini sdhc's that can sort of replace the dependence on the MD. Just like any memory device, an off sync soft reset may erase or corrupt your data.
I'm about to buy one (X7500 not the x7501 because of price and secondary camera). Unfortunately it's not available in the Philippines. Getting mine from Dynamism because of the warranty and upgrade the site provides. Did some research just to be sure. Check this out: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=752&id2=687
Personally, I do not mind the power consumption because my atom is always plugged on to my laptop whenever I'm in the office and to the AC power supply whenever I'm asleep. Doing the same to my new HTC Advantage wouldn't be a problem. The only problem that I have with regards to the battery is whenever I travel. But that's when I need to buy a replacement batter right? Anyway, I hope this helps.
yetdy,
from that url, it says that the cpu's are the same. i've read somewhere that 7500 and 7501 cpu's are different. i'll post the reference here when i find it. also, 7500 is a lot more expensive than the 7501.
i'm going to use DHL instead of Fedex for shipping.

If you're from Quezon City and don't mind using priority mail, you can ask that your HTC advantage be shipped through priority mail instead. I know the customs people in the post office here(I'm what they term as their frequent customer.). They are nice and would let single items pass even if they are supposed to tax USD$50 above items. You don't even need to give them gifts or you know what. As long as the package is for personal use, they will go easy on you.
BTW, I got my HTC Advantage for USD 600 + 58 for Freight. Not as expensive as the X7501. Brand new from a very reputable online store. It also has a 1 year warranty to boot. Anyway, that's the reason I finally bought one. Prices here are ridiculously high. Anyway, I got the specs for everyone to see...

wow that deal looks very good.
anyway, i'm in subic area and there a big chance that i might still be able to ask a friend of mine to have it handcarried to the philippines, that way i wont have to pay for anything
my x7501 was bought for $850
thanks for the suggestion though, and i'll let you guy know how the 'shipping' goes.
ciao!
My x7500 will arrive via FedEx by the 10th of the month as per tracking number. Got to pay 4,000+ though for the taxes. (Bummer!) At least its still a lot cheaper than buying it here. Can't wait until it arrives!
Item is now sold. thanks everybody!

advantage x7501 usa model for sale.
I got a couple of these from a closing down compusa in my neighborhood. It's unsed.
I'm keeping one, but have a spare to sell.(my wife refused to use such a large phone)
It's missing the power supply, but it successfully charges over usb. All other accessories included. box, manuals, cables, baggies, etc.
I've charged it up and tested it out at home and it's great...
The keyboard window has a small scuff which seems to have been caused by the box, not by use. The unit is in perfect condition.
If i have serious interest here i can send photos.
I can also throw in a 4in1 cable too. ( bought one )
(I'm in san francisco) will ship it to you for $650.
there has been some interest, so i've attached some pics.
my ebay username is alexjlee so you can check me out there too!
I also have an 8mb zipfile containing large versions (and some additional ones) so you can check it out. Please provide me with an email address so i can send it to you (i've had trouble attaching it here)
thanks everybody!
last call! will probably put this on ebay on sunday if there's not much more interest.
I've had plenty of offers but none that match ebay levels. I would be convinced to go to $600 if i could sell this here to someone in the community.
Could you ship to the Philippines? I'm interested.
I would ship anywhere providing payment was made by western union money transfer. I've found this to be the only way i have to protect myself from international fraud. In the usa i am paypal verified, so for usa/canada that works best.
I would ask fo $630 total to ship it to the philippines.
thanks, alex
I am looking to buy an x7501...I have a Tilt currently (with a bunch of extras, 4gb card, 2gb, bluetooth headset H700, tomtom, coreplayer...), I noticed on Ebay I could get about 400-500 for all that, and they are selling x7501's for that...well, anyone interested, or just whant to sell, let me know...oh, by the way, you can look on ebay at the going rates, I saw some douchbage offering his for 750 used, come on, really?
Anyhow, let me know....
I have no idea what you are talking about I've looked on ebay and these are not going for anywhere near what you are claiming post some links to ones that are actually selling for this much if you're gonna make a crazy claim like this.
Maybe he meant £400 - £500?
I bought my X7501 used on ebay for $550 including shipping, a couple of months ago. I did see one going for about $300-400 but it was broken and being sold as is for parts.
You got a bargain! well done.
Thanks confucious. I was really lucky that day, as i just knew somebody was gonna snipe my bid at the last second. But to my surprise, nobody did. Unfortunately the average price is up around $650-$750 these days.
I stand corrected...slightly
I only did a quick search, not a thourough analysis of the long term trend of the value of the x7501 over the past month...However, now that the 7510 is released, there value is sure to drop...either way, 400-500 is an understatement....

If you can get one for that price then go ahead! Let us know what you do pay.
Good luck.
Got my x7501 for about $670.00 shipped (just over a month ago) in pristine condition (box was a bit dinged up but the unit is great. Most of the units then were about $800.00 + on ebay.
Cheers

Yeah lets try to get top price for our old phones and buy the next model up for free any douchbage want to trade.
I have a P3300 with tomtom garmin and route 66 opera netfront resco radio and 4gb card and extra original battery ive seen them for $300-400 with acessories. Want to trade i might consider some money on top i need an Advantage no software reqired or memory or charger just the phone.
Just had an email from them... half price apparently!
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=177867&partner=uknews
Limited numbers of course and we're only allowed 2 each...!!!
I've not followed any Shift discussion fora few months, but am interested to see what people here think...
Does £500 represent good value for this thing, given all the advances you guys seem to have made?
Ferg.
Well I was impressed, as that's now only a bit more than I paid for a second hand (though not used) Italian Shift I bought on Ebay... but £499 for something that you have to do so much to do make it usable is a bit of laugh really. I can't believe Expansys was selling ANY at £949
I bought one as I love HTC and have had their devices for years now and wanted an UMPC so I could always carry my work with me (paid employment type work as well as university degree coursework which includes some programming and maths software that needs a full PC). Before I went for the Shift, I thought I'd try some with a smaller form factor as the screen size seemed excessive for my needs, but I was wrong! I tried the OQO 01+ (WAY TOO SMALL and rubbish keyboard) and also a Vaio U390 (very expensive and very pretty but again keyboard too small for me and was surprisingly awkward and uncomfortable to use). Then I bought a Shift and have been fiddling to make it as good as possible ever since!
Am really hoping for SD access from WinMo side, the phone wouldn't be useful for me but just having a decent amount of memory in WinMo would mean I can use the Windows side less for email and calendar type functions and actually make good use of the GPS with my TomTom software.
Having said that I have a car mount and cigarette lighter charger so it's only when I'm on the train that I have power problems (when I don't need SatNav anyway!) so actually I don't even need the SD access, but it'd be nice
So yes, it has lots going for it, so long as you don't mind reinstalling both operating systems provided on it and not wanting to ever be too far from mains power!
WHAT !! according to google thats $1095.55613 Australian!
Here I paid $712.03 AUD (324.312884 GPB) - yes it was new (http://www.google.com.au/search?cli...3+aud+in+gbp&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)
Where on earth did you buy a new HTC Shift for $700 AUD? Back of a truck bargain was it
thats how much they are from cell-com - but i have since looked elsewhere and the going price seems to be around $850 - $950 AUD
Try $1300 AUD...standard price....

It seems both of those sellers only ship to Australian addresses. =/
It is a great price and I wish I could ship it from there to the US, sadly this does not seem to be an option.
I want to buy the shift (the ROM which enables phone is very close now..).
The price of the australian expansys is just great.I couldn't believe it!
But I live in Europe.
i) is shipping from au possible / does it cost much?
ii) will toll taxes be huge?
iii) can the "australian" shift work in eu? I mean GSM or anything other.
Shift Pricing
Apoparis,
The www.pressdigital.com.au units are genuine HTC Australia stock - and as a local HTC dealer, are not allowed to be exported (at least there's no warranty if they're exported!).. But if you're REALLY keen can get one picked up via Fedex or TNT from one of the local pickup points (eg Press Digital allow collection from Pymble) - Then you're onto a winner.
Given HTC internationally are clearing the line, the "good deals" should be available from all the HTC dealers - BUT there's virtually none left anywhere.
Have fun!

Finally decided to move on from the Shift, love it, but I now have to carry a work laptop too and can't be bothered carrying both.
Selling with brand new additonal battery (2 batteries included) and a international power kit.
Comes with recovery USB stick. Hope it goes to a good home.

My guess is that he is in Great Britain as the ebay listing is in GBP.....
Location
Correct UK, This is a UK English Shift.....
As it turns out I was already watching this in My Ebay before I saw the thread. Sadly as stated previously though, only shipping to UK.
Best of luck in selling.
really need one, just lost my x7500 today..
please let me know if u can ship it to Canada, thx
International
Buy it now and as long as your paypal address is certified i'll ship it to canada.
We may need to adjust the postage (I've stated £18 in UK, i think it'll be at least double that to canada)
maybe i just bid on it? thx
I am international attorney and have interest. Would you consider shipping to USA? (At my expense of course) Please advise on USD price if this is possibility. Also advise as to whether swaps or trades would be in order as feasible alternatives (e.g. I have 3 HTC TILT (Sprint-compatible) phones I would be willing to part with or augment within such a transaction.
SORRY!!!!
It's sold...... Thanks.....
If anyone is interested, I am selling a NEW HTC shift. I only bought it on the 21st Jan 2009.
I bought it for a friend (I do IT work privately) and he now says that he doesn't want it.
I am selling it for €600 (plus shipping) which is the price that I paid for it. I will include the invoice to prove this!!
The device has not been used other than to check that it works.
If anyone is interested, please contact me. nicholas at cross dot lu
Forgot to say... the shift is UK version, and I will ship worldwide so long as you are willing to pay for insured delivery (will be approx €30).
Here is the link to a certain site that I shouldn't mention: item n°: 140298568640
