Look at this too:
http://fastcardtech.com/goods-3507-...uadband+EDGE+Bluetooth+2G+TF+smart+phone.html
Maybe little more expensive (you must pay additional cost for shipping and Paypal fee), but installed WM 6.5, +2 GB microSD card, many PDA software on the included card, and IMHO better quality than the one from Dealextreme...
The delivery time is 4-6 days worldwide (you can choose DHL, UPS, Fedex, etc.)
The support of this site is also amazing...

thank s for the comment =]
umm.. this site doesnt look so secure..
i found that one : http://cgi.ebay.com/New-WM6-5-JAVA-...ItemQQptZCell_Phones?hash=item2557e02065#shId
what about it? is it better then the DX one?
i think its the same as the one in your link, no?

Why do you think, that site is not secure? Yo can find many positive feedback on mobile forums on the web....
I had no any problems with this seller.... You can pay via Paypal...
After 3 days of waiting to tracking number for DHL shipping they informed me, that changed the company to Fedex (due problems with DHL), and gave me a new fedex tracking number. The package arrived within 4 days... (to Slovakia, Europe)
The phone found on eBay looks similar as my phone, but remember, that this type of phone is made in some different factories in China.
And I can not see on your eBay site the type of CPU.... This can be 300 MHz, or 420, or 528 or 624 MHz.... , Trust me, I found similar phone with 300 MHz CPU, which is really too little for WM...
Why they not show the type of CPU? Maybe because is too power less (and cheap)...
By the way: the phone on ebay has only Max support 1280*960, this mean really resolution for pictures is only 1,3 Mpx.... This is well known trick. Mine has really 3,2 Mpx (2048*1536).
To shipping cost: they sending goods for free via Hongkong post, which cost is about 10 USD (included in the price of phone), but remember, that shipping time is too long, and you can not chance to assure the package.
P.S.
Sorry for my english...

thanks, again ;]
after searching a little while in the site you brought i found that it has really good stuff =]
how can i find out how this phone will cost me after all?
this site ships worldwide right?
and wow! 4 days shipping? is it expenssive?
and what about the warrenty?
how much time do you have the phone?
and btw, you're very helpful
p.s. i myself dont speak english as my first language so dont worry about it ;]

The total cost will be: the price of phone + shipping cost + 4% Paypal fee...
I dont know your origin, but you can watch the shipping cost checking by the "Check shipment fee", below the first little photos. You must select your country, and you will see the shipping cost for different shipping companies. According to your country you can choose Fedex, DHL, EMS, UPS or Airmail (Hongkong post). These companies ship around 4-6 days (except the Hong Kong Post) but you must calculate additional 2-3 days for Fastcardtech to realise your order... The approximately price for shipping is from 30 to 60 USD according to your country and shipping company. The seller write to package MP3 player, for 30 USD and GIFT, this mean you will not be problem with customs in your country...
I mean the warranty is one year, if you will be any problem, you send the phone back to seller, and he will send you a new phone (readed on another forums, no problem). But all conditions are written on sellers page...
I have the phone only few days, and now the phone is packaged as christmas gift for my son. But I checked all functions, installed GPS software, tried it (IGO 8.3), all is working. I have a Fujitsu-Siemens pocket Loox N560 PDA with 624 MHz Marwell CPU too, and must say, that this T3232 is much faaaaster... (maybe is effected with screen resolution: 480x640 against 240x320).
Thank You...

Yo thanks you helped sooo much! =]
i didnt understand the part when you said about this site writing on the package that it is a gift. it costs 30USD? is a lot ם_O
i checked the sheepment fee and its 37USD, which means the the total price of the phone is 187USD and i need to pay an extra 4% paypal fee, right?
oh btw, nicee christmas gift!

This mean, that the seller declare the content of package as MP3 player with 30 USD price, This information is for customs, because you can not pay customs fee for goods with price less than 30 USD... By the way: this phone is really MP3 player (too)... this mean, that the seller does not lie, only does not declare the full truth...
Your price will be: 149.99 + 37 + 7,48 = 194,47 USD... (where 7,48 is equal 4% of (149,99+37) )

Clones are [email protected]
They don't have the HTC bootloaders, not the same hardware, different drivers, crappy screens, etc etc.
The ROMs you find here aren't suitable for these clones..
The ROMs are build differently, so a lot of our tools won't work.

Mobile Joker and others: Don't waste your time

Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those German jokers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

Sharrap!!
It's 380 Pounds with a 1Gb SD Card. Otherwise, it's £324 for the Compact alone.
The German version comes with a 2 year warranty compare with the 1 year Imate warranty.
Also, the MDA Compact doesn't have the sound quality issues the Jam has. You really ought to make sure you know what you're talking about before you call the German people "jokers". :evil: :evil:
What do you work for them?
Firstly, the sound issue will be fixed in the next rom update, so WHO CARES?
Secondly, wouldn't you rather deal with pleasant old Amazon than a bucket shop who promises you the world and then sends someone to your door to collect cash because they cannot even accept credit cards?
Lastly, who on earth gives two sh*ts about a two year guarantee? After one year, you chuck the phone, it's obsolete, and you get an upgrade?
Would really be happy with an guarantee on an xda 1 today??????
Come on...

You really need to keep the swearing out.
Regarding the sound, it's not only a Rom issue. If you knew what you were talking about youu'd know that in some cases, it's a hardware issue and not a ROM issue. That's why many people are on their second and third Jams from Expansys after returns.
I care and many others do.
Not everybody would rahter dea with your "plesant old Amazon" some people prefer to buy at a better price.
The warranty does matter. Maybe you will throw your Jam away in a year but most of us won't.
Your points really make no sesne at all. Would people really throw their PDA away after a year? People "don't care" for an extra year's warranty? I don't think that even YOU agree with them!!
I have bought my MDA Compact from MobileJoker.de (i'm french), and i'm very satisfacted ! The shop was very professionnal, and respond quickly to emails...
My MDA was "bought" on a friday night, and the next thursday, i've received it via UPS.
All for 472 euros including shipment in paying at delivery.
Thanks MobileJoker !
is there an english version of this website, i don't speak german and i have no idea what it's saying. I clicked on the jam and it took me to a page and when it came to payment details etc. i couldn't understand a word. any help would be appreciated. cheers
I also had a good experience with MobileJoker and no complaints.

Email them if you need more help.
if i can help you with german go ahead.
besides that i also ordered from mobilejoker.de but with plan for 93EUR.
@mikeycollins13
i think c.o.d is a very good and save method to pay for goods.
we in germany also often uses automatic debit transfer.
and i understand that island monkeys didn't know value of a guarantee.

Please explain the logic of the statement above.
You are not making any sense at all.
You're telling us that it's stupid to go for a lower price, longer gurantee and better device (better ROM and no hardware or software sound issue).
It seems that you don't know much about life outside the UK. There is a lot more to the world than the UK. COD is common in Germany, It makes sense not to part with your money until you have your purchase Do you intend to argue with that too?
2-year warranties are common in Europe unlike the UK. Mobilejoker are "safe and reputable". Just because you haven't heard of them-you that doesn't know much of life outside the UK-doesn't mean that there are not. There is a lot more to the world than you think. Is it not "safer" to hold your money until you hold your PDA????????
I think it's time for you to admit that you're wrong.

Their price is excellent - if I buy one, will it be in English or German though? In other words, what am I NOT getting by buying from mobilejoker instead? English manuals I can live without - I can download those - but is the handeld, german?
i think it is in german, but it is easy to put a english firmware on it.
but i don't know, maybe they ship international the english version.
does any1 know if the audio problem with the imate models has been fixed?
what is the problem anyway, just in case i get the phone and not realize that it is faulty and assume that that's how it is.....cheers

Only thing amazon do better is delivery time, where they excel. Mine just arrived today from mobilejoker - 1 week delivery via UPS from germany. Exactly as stated on the UPS site.
TOO expensive from amazon though, and up until about a week ago, they didn't have stock.

To answer a few questions in 1 shot.
I purchased the device from David who owns :http://www.dweiniger.com
i paid a total of:Total:$1,175.76
On 05/17/2007
I have used the phone a total of 10 times.Tried the GPS navigation.The phone has no call time on it whatsoever.I also purchased a LG i style blue tooth for this device that i might include with the device.Which i used for about a week for another mobile.I also purchased the 3 in 1 connector for the phone.
I will ship it for $1,000.00 to the United States and if you live in another Country $1,000.00 for the device and then we can research for the cheapest shipping option for you..The phone is unlocked and has a 3 year warranty courtesy of HTC. I just don't use it.I thought i would but i have other gadgets that suit my needs more than this does.Don't get me wrong its a nice device but its too big to do what i do in my everyday life.If you are interested in this device please leave me a message here or email me @ [email protected] for a faster reply.
Regards
More Detail
Actually i plan on adding the LG Style-i HBM-700

here is some unsolicited advice,
drop the price down to below the price of 7501, the only difference is the front camera..and frankly, at least in the US the camera is useless...
you still haven't replied to ques as to where in florida do you live
Meaning what exactly?Why would i not give the users of XDA first of the pick instead of going to ebay.I know i could get well over 1,200.00 on eBay as i have noted the sales,BUT im not out to price gouge anyone.Just want someone else whom does not have the same money to be able to own this merchandise
I have responded to where i live in Florida via email.I am in North Florida.As far as the X7501.You will not be able to purchase the device with shipping for $950.00(next day shipping) so your theory about the price being lower is not suffice to the subject @ hand.As previously stated.The device was used the first 4 days that i purchased it and has been in my desk drawer every since then.There is NO CALL TIME on this phone.Its just like you ordering a phone that has been sitting on a shelf for months at a time.
HTC Advantage X7501padRegular Price: $1,299.99padSale Price: $1,279.95
And the cheapest that they are selling for is 999.00 excluding shipping.

[Q] Cheapest Place for Galaxy s2 in the US?

title says it all...since the galaxy s2 isnt available by any carrier yet...where is the cheapest place to get it? Ive only seen it on expansys...any others?
Prices seem to be slowly but steadily decreasing, here are probably the best places to keep an eye on.
Amazon, Google Shopping, and eBay. I would post links, but I don't have enough posts yet. You can find direct links at pastebin.com / mLf88e7L (without spaces ).
Amazon has them for like $689 right now + Prime
Try unlocked mobiles its the chepeast I found
Then Amazon then handtec then expansys
Thanks for posting as well; I'm thinking about getting one; I'm hoping to stay under 700.

get a sd card if u dont have one ( for backups etc - CWM )
I just bought mine from an Amazon seller (Warehouse Distributors). It was $684 with free shipping.
It just shipped, so I'll update you guys. I am a bit worried that they will screw me somehow (seem small, don't have their own domain for email or website), but calling them got to a live person, and seem friendly enough. In fact, they were able to pricematch when their price dropped a day later by $14 (was $698 when I ordered).
I hope it's not an open box or a box of rocks. Actually, if it was a box of rocks, it'd be suspicious even without opening since the phone is super light!
Either way, I'll update you guys on how it went. I'm expecting the phone by the end of this week.
i placed my order @ mobilecityonline.com last week. it was $699 + $4.99 shipping - $20 online coupon = $684.99 shipped. however, its price has risen since then, so apparently it was temporarily on sale. basically, just keep looking around bc its always changing on different sites, and look out for coupons.

I was hesitant about buying from most of the import sites in the US but surprisingly mobilecityonline has far less negative reviews than other sites dealing the sgs2 such as popularelectronics.com or negri. I received it just like they promised via fedex no issues. They even called me and emailed me to confirm my purchase and stressed that i have 14 days to return it.
The only gripe is that they listed it as the UK version but when i got it, it said Samsung Romania on the label and included non-english manuals. Also, the US power adapter that came in the box isn't working for me. No biggie tho bc everything else checked out. Used it for 2 days now and so far im satisfied.

US power adapter in the box? Did they open the factory box to put it in there?
I didn't even think of them putting another country's phone in there. I would be expecting the UK version.
I would expect a US power adapter included with an international phone. Any others wanna chime in?
And the box was factory sealed.

It doesn't get any better than $689.99 + $5.99 shipping from none other than NEWEGG.
A trusted place with excellent customer service. Can't go wrong with NewEgg. At least it will benefit the people who waited.
Now... say thank you!
nfc included?
I wonder, does the newEgg version comes with NFC?
Also, been that it is been bought from an U.S. seller, can I get warranty from squaretrade for this phone? I know can i can buy it in the u.k. and get squaretrade in the u.k., but i dont want to have to send it to squaretrade u.k., I prefer the u.s. squaretrade.

I wouldn't know. Call up Newegg to find out. I don't see the NFC on the specs.

I just bought mine from an Amazon seller (Warehouse Distributors). It was $684 with free shipping.
It just shipped, so I'll update you guys. I am a bit worried that they will screw me somehow (seem small, don't have their own domain for email or website), but calling them got to a live person, and seem friendly enough. In fact, they were able to pricematch when their price dropped a day later by $14 (was $698 when I ordered).
I hope it's not an open box or a box of rocks. Actually, if it was a box of rocks, it'd be suspicious even without opening since the phone is super light!
Either way, I'll update you guys on how it went. I'm expecting the phone by the end of this week.

Finally got it yesterday. Was in a unpadded box. But turned out okay for the most part.
Had a US power supply. Looks like a Latin America model (primary language on the box was Spanish, and so was the manual).
I found 5 green pixels when viewing a dark gray background.
ordered mine last week from amazon for 689 with FREE prim 2 day shipping. I payed the extra 3.99 for one day shipping. I had no issues with the shipping process, everything went smooth. One important thing i will add though is that when i recieved my phone the battery was completely dead, i had to keep the phone on the charger for about an hour and a half before i could turn it on. Eventually i put the phone in download mode and then pressed the down volume rocker which restarts the phone. My version was in polish, so it took a few moments to find the language setting and switch it to english. I found the whole preces pretty cosmical and my friends think im crazy for purchasing an unlocked european phone. But then again they all have Blackberrys so there opinion is moot lol. Im loving my phone right now and dont remember the last time i was this satisfied from an expensive purchase.
edit... i just read that some people had some worries about the shipping condition. my phone was shipped in two boxes. the first was the standard shipping box. then it was in a bigger cell phone style box. similar to what you would get from a carrier. this box was a little beat up, but thankfully the official samsung box was inside in great condition and still sealed. so for who ever was wondering, my us dongle was in the second box not the official samsung box where the actual phone, earphones, sync cable, and euro charger was in.
Handtec is offering £404.98 (shipping included) for North American buyers. That's only 570 Cdn.... It's suprisingly lower than the pricetag on amazon or other non-Euro sites. The price's been decreasing, too. Anyone know why the price has been decreasing steadily (as mentioned in the previous thread)? Is it because of the upcoming iPhone 5 or because of market saturation in Europe? I might order one after Canadian carriers confirm their models. I refuse to buy a SGSII with the LCD variant

Where to buy U.S.A. ??

Ok Now...
I have decided to get one of these 6800's..
I intend to put my AT$T sim card in the thing so I can use it as my weekender.
Web, phone, SMS, txt,video calls, emails.. etc... Do it ALL just like a Galaxy Note..
So I'd like some hints on where to buy from..
I want to make sure that I get the correct version (unlocked, international; quadband? At$t ready.)..
And price should matter as well into the choice...
So please post your recommendations here....
I will get one within a few days..
Thanks to all who read this and thanks to all who reply..
All replies are welcomed and encouraged..
Thanks again.. jh

This seller is tops. You'll get your unlocked P6800 from Singapore within a few business days.
Negri Electronics is also a good option. Type "gift" in the coupon line and get $30 off.

Thanks guys..
I just pulled the trigger @ Negri.... 638 and change...
Now we wait.......
ps.. Do you'se think that ICS will come out for this 6800???
It was on a list of devices that Samsung Italy released would receive ICS. I am not holding my breath for when it will happen but I would guess it will. This seems to be their premier device so I would think they would want to.
does anyone know if Negri ships to Canada?
i just tried their website and it's broken
it loads partially the rest it throws database errors, i'm not so sure if can trust that business if they can't even maintain their website working properly
SGBEST.com?
I was browsing around and stumbled upon sgbest.com website in Singapore. Anyone ever use them? Looked like the 7.7 wifi only would run $575 with shipping to the US.
no way i'm not buying anything from those Asian based shippings
not for something worth $700
for a cheap $3 accessories i don't mind, but for something some expensive i want original
same reason why i've not yet put any order on any of those ebay sellers, as they are.... not trust worthy IMO
jus pulled the trigger too. thanks for the discount code. now i jus gotta keep my mind off it til it gets here.
I also bought mine from ebay, user rose528400. Free one day shipping and they included US adapter. No problems.

From this ebay seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...US_Tablets&hash=item41613498a3#ht_4843wt_1297
Judging by their volume, they're probably a retail outlet in Singapore. There were no duty or customs fees, although the insert did say "personal documents". Whatever.
well... I am happy to save 37 US $$ and wait 3-5 more days... I can use that dough for a case and screen protex.. and may be a 5$ Sub sandwich.... cold cut combo!!!! toasted.
Speaking of cases and screen protex.....?? is there a thread yet??

I bought mine from them. No problems at all. But I do live in Singapore and went to their office to collect...my precious...personally, from someone who turns out to speak with a Korean accent to boot.
I just pulled the trigger on one from ebay. the seller has sold 7 in the last month and no bad ratings. Got it for $550 + $10 shipping for 2 day fedex. Can't wait till it gets here! I also got a case from cellguru before the price increase and sounds like they are out of stock now too
did you guys get an USB cable? mine only came with charger :\

[Q] Has anybody bought from the German Play Store?

Greetings!
I am going to USA tomorrow (from Denmark) and I have bought a Nexus 10 32gb. The thing is, the tablet exceeds the cost of items I am allowed to bring back home, so:
I was wondering if anybody who had purchased the Nexus 10 from the German Play Store would PM me, and send over the confirmation email so I can show that to customs and claim I bought it back home. They would do me a great favor
The mail contains no critical information, so I can't (and won't) abuse it in any way.
I hope someone can help me out, I'm a student so I can't afford to pay an extra $250 in customs to get the tablet into EU if I get stopped
Why do you care that a tablet cost exceeds the import cost ?
No one really check what you're bringing with you in EU airports.
If you're really paranoid, just unpack the device and pretend you had it for ages.
I am gonna have it unpacked, but you can get grabbed by customs when you come back from USA, and if I had a purchase receipt from e.g. Germany I would just feel a lot more secure, since this is the only expensive object I am bringing back

Unpack it and throw away a box. It will be impossible to proof for them that you've bought it in the US. If you really need a box, just post it via US post declaring it worth 0 euros.

Yes, I agree with jodvova! Just use the tablet normally, throw the box away and before you land touch it a few times with sticky fingers... I don't know how much you paid, but at staples the price is $500, in € that would 375,88. On the official EU-Website it's said that the maximum value of an "electronic excise device" has to be under 430€ for air and sea travelers. Anyways is the N10 worth the money? Does your's have any problems with light bleed, gaming etc.? Just asking, because I'm also coming from EU and will travel to USA soon, totally gonna buy it there (since it's not available in my country...)
