Buy Trinity but where?

Hi to all, I just want to share with you my odisey to know more about these device, to know when and where to buy this device.
I from Spain, I visit many web page and try to contac serious sellers and all told me we have no idea when and where. We have some bad news about the end of november or earlier december.
Could you please tell me where I can buy a white device???
Hope this post help others to make a easy way to but it.
Thanks a lot.

i've contacted expansys UK n they quoted me 595 euros including shipping to asia, u can try to contact them maybe? but i suggest u wait til it launches in your country as purchasing via the internet u have to take risk

I bouth several devices in Expansys, but always in Spain. By the way, the UK Expansys and Spain Expansys, hope are almost the same, so hope I can buy it at the end of these month.

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then

I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.
Regards
Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

btw here in italy cheapest price is 630 euros!
any of your portugal shop sell trinity with italian language?

selling for sgd1298 about euro650 over here in Singapore

The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.

German discounter are selling it at 505 to 515 euros, available shortly, - anybody that wants to pay more - enjoy it!

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...

I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.

>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!

Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.

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.

For payments we accept Western Union Money Transfer. Do you know where a Western union agent is located?

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

I purchased one from eBay. I'm sorry, what do you mean by security unlocked?

There are a lot of tmobile HD2s and unlocking code services on Ebay. The total cost + unlock code + shipping is even cheaper than buying asian/eu version outright.

I wonder how much would everything cost in philippine money

So member "bobsbbq" should not stop developing CHT/CHS Lost In Asia ROM because it has vast market there and LIA ROM is 100% compatible with US HD2.
A side note: US HD2 supports 3G band in Hong Kong.

someone selling at sulit.com.ph for Php 28k

wha about the 3g in asia

Not really sure how they get those phones.. i bought one Tmobile HD2 for USD 500 (euro410)(23400 phil peso), In Malaysia.. Its distributed by an approved permit company... Its a grey market thing... They are not official HTC dristributers but they are legal because they pay the govt tax therefore the govt considers it as legal business... The same goes for nokia, samsung, sony etc phones... Thought some people prefer to go through the official nokia distributer because of the better service but the phones can cost above USD100 extra.

As mentioned, U.S. devices are sold cheaper on Ebay than they are in the local stores (in the Philippines, at least).
Everytime I visit the Philippines, I go to a shopping mall (Greenhills) and look at the phones (my cousins know some of the sellers). The used smartphones cost more than some phones here in the US (subsidized or not).
I even asked my cousins in the Philippines to buy me a belt holster for my TP2. When they asked the employee how much the phone itself cost, they were shocked it cost ~$900! And I bought my T-Mo TP2 (subsidized) for $350 (un-subsidized, the TP2 costs $500)!
Also, there are a lot of T-Mo HD2s on Ebay because many T-Mo customers wanted the HD2 for its hardware. Once they met WinMo OS, they wanted to sell it as fast as possible and get their old phones back.

Samsung Omnia 7 from USA to India?

Hey people,
An uncle is coming down from US to India (my current country) and I plan to buy the Omnia 7.
Should I ask him to buy one for me...but again, will I have to unlock it???
Does it come carrier specific like the iPhone?
Do I have to "Unlock" it?
Or should I just ask him to get the phone and pop in my SIM card from India?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the Omnia 7 isn't sold in the US. They have the Focus instead.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, it's not sold in the US or Canada. But he can order one from ExpanSys (who gets them from Europe).
I picked a few up from Canada before I headed to Saudi Arabia. Work like a charm. Just gotta remember there's tax, warranty, customs, shipping. Not much profit made for reselling them Manuals also came in french, but that's not a big deal if you know how to use these things.

Hello...
As Peew971 said: Omnia 7 isn't sold in USA by default, and ExpanSys actually have a very high prices, I got mine from Australia, factory unlocked and shipped to Libya (cost me about 840$ at that time, with Screen Protector + Case + Shipping Insurance), I've checked the website now (becextech.com.au) and it is priced at 699 AUD$ (= 687 US$) without shipping costs.
I hope I've helped you...

Release date for Australia?

hi guys,
does anyone have any ideas when the note will be released in Australia? can't wait to upgrade my Streak for it. always loved Samsung phones for their Amoled screens.
if they're not in Australia any soon, might look for one on eBay
thanks guys

If you're planning to buy it off-contract anyway, MobiCity are selling them already.

Note will be released in AU early next year.
EBay is pretty expensive now. Why not try expansys which had the lowest price now for €455 plus delivery (about AU$ 750). It's really good time to buy while AU dollar is high.

hi,
just wondering where you got the 455 Euro from on the website?
because they are all around € 619,99 on the site
thanks

We don't pay VAT, dude. You can remove that from the price.

i see.....lol...
If I buy it from a European Country other than UK....will it have English Language on it and will it work properly in Australia? What about also the abilities for system updates?
Thanks again....

If you buy a EU version, then you will still have the ability to select English as your language on the initial setup screen. Android support multiple languages.
You also can apply updates as all EU zone use the same thing.

Hi mate, it's from a German site which doesn't ship to Australia (I tried). The current cheapest one I find is expansys.com which is 480 ponds including postage (AUD730 based on last night exchange rate. AUD is worth less today after the interest cut).

I pre-ordered from them on 12th Oct which price is 4 ponds less than the current one. But, my order still hasn't been processed yet. I called them yesterday and they told me should be post yesterday but they didn't.
For the EU verion ordered from expansys, you can remove the UK convertor from your order detail screen which save you 0.99 ponds. And choose DHL instead FedEx for delivery.
