Hey all,
so for those of in the US what is the best place to get it? Are there any shops that sell it already, or is it only out in Europe?
And if so, which is the cheapest but still reliable website to order it from?
Thanks.
I think im ready
Im also looking to buy a Touch HD here in the USA. Ive seen a few sites but dont want to get ripped off. Also I'm goint to to sell my USA 3g diamond if anyone is looking.
i got mine from clove technologies for $760 shipped. That was even shipped via DHL 2 day service. Works great. love this device!!!
Expansys USA apparently now has stock. I think the price is $799US.
I ordered from Clove as well. I've used them in the past and they are top notch. Even with 2 day shipping it was cheaper than ordering from Expansys USA without shipping.

did you order last week? i too ordered from Clove, but no word yet whether my order will be fulfilled with this week's stock. also, are you on att? if so, aside from the lack of 3G, are all the other services working well with the Touch HD?
Ordered from Expansys this morning. Just got my email that they shipped it out an hour ago.

Yes, it was ordered Friday morning and I have a fedex tracking number. I should have it on Wednesday. It was delayed a day for their validation process for international orders. I had a different credit card and shipping address from my previous orders so it was delayed for verification.
I am on ATT and everything else has worked fine with past touch devices. Getting to the medianet homepage can sometimes be an issue, but I never use it anyway so it's not a loss for me. Other than that everything works fine.

You man slow Edge speeds? The Touch HD doesn't have US 3G.
yes i know of a store in new york city, i spoke to them on the phone two weeks ago they told me they will be selling it as soon as touch hd will be released by any European carrier, witch already has happened.
the price they told me is $800.00 they also have a website, but i dont know what is it, but u guys can give them a call 212-964-4444
but be ware, NYC especially Manhattan has a lot of cell phone stores whitch sell bootleg versions. most of the tourists dont know and just buy
but anyways anybody who checks it out keep me updated, i would like to know if anybody buys it from them, cause i wanna get one also in a few months.
guys how slow will the internet be on it with out 3g? is it still worth it?

I just tested the Edge speed (w/ 4 bars) on my iPhone 2G and got 154kbps. I'd imagine that the HD would be similar.
In case anyone is interested, Clove UK seems to have brought down their price to $693. I'm probably going to go with that deal...

it will be slower than 3G no doubt, but it's an acceptable trade off for me (now). i may change my mind once i get the device.
however, thanks to the University of Iowa defeating Penn State (in football) this past weekend (and the corresponding return on my wager/investment) the lack of 3G is of less concern. in other words, the windfall from that game (and the "windfall's" capacity to finance 100% of the HD cost) makes it easier for me to rationalize that lack of 3G. i can cave into my insatiable desire to have a big a** WinMo VGA screen device, a.k.a, Touch HD.

lol, earlier this year, the NY Giants winning the SuperBowl financed my Orbit 2 purchase. i'm usually good for 3 to 5 winning weekends during the 20 week season (sept to jan) and the timing of and "windfall" from this "win" couldn't be better. now i'll have to lay low until the BCS games and Superbowl so i don't give it all back, lol. windfalls such as mine make it easier to explain to wifey the quarterly appearance of a new device.
Hmm... so I checked out the touch pro/fuze today and wasn't really that impressed with the thickness. I'm given some thought to purchasing the HD from overseas, and so far from reading the forums I'm taking I won't get 3G speed (which I can live without) -
These are unlocked, so I just drop my sim card in? I have AT&T MediaMax bundle that I used with my 3125, I'm trying to avoid my plan being bumped up to their more expensive PDA plans...
Hey, I'm so very close to buying a HD2. I have a total of NO idea where to buy from and what sites to trust. I've looked around some, and found the Leo going from 599-750. Another thing is a warranty. I've heard the phone has no warranty usually, but I don't know if I would need one. Any hardware faults or common bugs that would require a warranty to fix? Would love to get it a cheap as possible, but no idea if I need a warranty.
Thanks for any help!
Do you think this would be a good place? has a warranty option too.

You could always use Expansys since they have a warehouse in America.

strange on went to upgrade on thursday and as vodafone stopped hd2 for non buisness users i was forced to go to phones4u, but as i arrived at the store at 10 am there was a notice on door that they would not be open for another hour due to staff shortages, so i though i would chance it at the vodafone store next door and see if i could persuade them 2 let me upgrade 2 the hd2 and it turns out they received 1 unit of the hd2 that morning and were willing to upgrade me. had a bit of a fight on my hans though as i was told i could't yet i had another month and a bit to go, i assured them i could upgrade from the 22 feb and was told they changed their policy a few days before from 90 days 2 50 days before contract ends, cut a long story short, told them it wasn't my problem and i had't been informed of these changes, anyway all history as i have my hd2.
Since your profile indicates you have AT&T, why don't you order the Australian HD2 - T9193? You'll get 3G.
I got mine from CleverKit. Great service and I was able to pay over Paypal and get some miles on my amex as most UK sites still don't accept it.
Hi,
I bought mine from handtec,
if you look at the HD2 wiki, there is a list of vendors used by xda forum users.
I am probably one of the lucky ones who brought mine (was T-Mobile but unlocked) privately but with the warranty transferred for the nice price of £350 and it was new and boxed. I guess with the £130 I got back from recycling my 14 month old Touch HD with its 6 months half line rental cashback, it feels pretty cheap to me

I'm sorry, but this is craziness !!!!!!
Well I wanted 3G for AT&T here in the states so I got the Testra version from Australia. I purchased it off of ebay from a reputable seller. If you dont care about 3G in the USA then you can get it off Newegg.com if you want! I paid a total of $798. A little more than I could have got the regular version for but if I am spending $700 for edge then I am going to pay the extra $100 for 3g capabilities. Totally worth it!

Holla.
Ebay, Criagslist, Kijiji, etc.
Take your pick
I'll let mine go for $400 + your captivate
Sign up for Google Developer's Account, for $25, then you can buy the Nexus One directly from Google any version you want for $529.
The developer site only has the t-mobile version available I read.

Actually... even at that price, I'd hate to let mine go.
i wanted to buy a n1 ever since it was out. i recent bought an iphone 4 and turn around and sold that pos. with the money i can buy a n1 now. but now google is out and now in the streets looking for one to work on att. honestly why would you sell a n1. way i see it, its the purest android out there.
Just got me a n1. Pick one up from craigslist. This thing is nice. Better than what I expected. Had a captivate but so glad I returned it. Maybe captivate has better screen. So what this thing is modifiable. After I bought the captivated I troll around everyday. Just put it this way. Not much developed. Very happy so far. Let the modifying begin. What to do first. There is much. Lol.
I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?
I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?
are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets
Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested
I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.
Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.
Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.

When will it be coming to Europe?
I read that the Wifi version will launch in Europe round about the same time as the full 3g one. Any ideas? I'm planning to get one (wifi) from Italy, when my dad goes up there in May, if it is out then.

The wifi version comes out in UK in the first week of April, so I am guessing it should be around the same time in rest of Europe, give or take a week.

Never used them, but they are a reputable seller. Forgot to mention that their price does not include Customs duty.
Another importer that has it at the cheapest price is have2have. Their pricing is the total cost. But I am not sure if they are a reputable seller, trying to find out and will let you know.
The advantage of ordering from aureustech is they provide 6 months after sales support.
