I'm not sure if anyone has tried to contact HTC regarding some sort wholesale deal. I know on there web site they welcome traders.
I have used group buys in forums before and got some great deals. (I was the Buyer not the organiser) so im note sure of the best approach to get things going.
Maybe this has been even done on this forum before
has anyone got any contacts with HTC??
Any ideas welcome!!!!!! :lol:
HTC will only listen to you when your order exeeds 10K pcs or more!
Can't we try to get anyone in the forum to buy a new one?
Than we can reacht the 10k...
count me
count me in if you bid with HTC
very good idea idea
I am for it and will take one as well.
How to effect the different units to the differnt telco operators in different countries.
Htc may have some agreement with their existing distributors and this may forstall any direct deals. However having said this it should not be a dampener as nothing is impossible. good luck to us
Good ... very Good idea.
I´m in!!
I'm in for 1 Universal. I'd be more than happy to get OS updates directly from HTC...
Htc Universal
I am also in the list for buying HTC Universal.

It's not practical. HTC won't send out 10,000 machines to different people. They won't send them alll to one person without payment in advance. So unless that person can afford to buy that many, 10,000 people will have to pay him/her first.
Would you want to have to send 10,000 items in the post to people all over the world? I certainly wouldn't.
What could be done tho is to contact the distributors Qtek or I-mate :wink:
Excellent idea. I'll be in for one.
MMB manages to buy them in relatively small quantitys from the carriers such as i'mate etc so it should be possible.I'll have on!
Ok guys, here I am, and I am going to help you all!
I want to be part of it... a huge part of it.
I badly need 9.974 pieces for my relatives and myself (yes, huge family).
There remain 26 pieces out and it's really hard to believe we can't find 26 more guys to do the deal, c'mon... Anybody can afford to pay 874 EUR to buy this jewel, am I wrong ?
Unfortunately my account is running pretty low right now: there remain only 8.715.004,28 EUR on it.
Considering I'm going to pay 8.717.276 EUR for my order (plus shipping), if I do not manage to get a discounted price, I am afraid we will need 2-3 more volunteers to join us.
Please let me know whether you are joining me or not.
I live in the USA and my carrier is Sprint. Do you think there is any way to get it activated on the Sprint network? The Universal works with EVDO, right?
If it's at all possible, throw me on the list for 2 of them. One for me, one for my wife.
hi people. hey SLVRBLLT are you telling us you are going to buy 9,974.0 units at 874 euro each??? just asking
This thread is amusing
If it were practically possible to execute such a deal, I would be in for it.
I think before we start assuming this like the number of units that need to be bought and prices etc. someone needs to take charge adn get in touch with HTC to see if such a thing is even possible.
I dont have any contacts so I can't do it. Anyone else?
humayunl is right....bit of organisation please before money starts flying to every corner of the globe....and nothing comes back :wink:
I'll throw down..
Hell....I just bought an SPV M2000, but I'll throw down for this. Count me in....

Me too. why not just have the XDA-Developers Admins involved as well? after all, there's probably one living in each country. What we should do is find the developer in our country/state and find out if we could have a sort of hub setup. if everyone pays their admin, then the admin pays the buyer, all the buyer has to do is ship X amount of units to each admin in each country, then the ppl who paid the admin can come with their paypal reciepts and pick up the units from him one by one or something
Granted, it'd be a massive operation, but if it means everyone has a universal, then i'm all for tryin it.
Well i have started off a little interest. doesn't look like its going to be easy.
Im sure someone must post on this forum who works for HTC maybe they might come out of the woodwork if they know money is involved
Maybe a few words from the moderators would be nice :lol:
Morning all
i know this is an odd question to ask but does anyone have a manual that came with their touch duel they'd be willing to part with?
The reason I ask is, I want to sell mine but i lost the manual when my father decided he wanted to open his new business toy early before just handing it to me, now he cannot find it. I realise its just on the CD and you can download it but it always looks better and gets the best price if its a real copy. i am willing to accept any networks branded manual as they all contain the right material. Oh and of course i am willing to pay for your trouble and loss. Just PM me if anyone is interested.
Thanks all
Dan
I'm sorry if this is not the place to post this.
Many of you guys from what I been reading have used iphones.
I'm hoping you will be willing to sell them to me?
We can use paypal so at will be safe for all.
I don't really care the external condition or if the buttons don't work.
It just has to be able to receive and make calls.
Please PM me if your interested in selling and let me know your price.
Thanks.
P.S. I'm not interested in the 2G iphone unless its in like new condition.
There is a marketplace forum for this
I don't know about anyone else...but if a carrier released a good quality Android tablet for ~$200-$250, with their normal monthly wireless charges...I think people would be lining up down the block to get their hands on them, and they would easily make up any lost money in wireless plan subscriptions.
Just my two cents, not that I think they (or you, necessarily) care.
Could someone please, and I apologise for being that guy, a detailed revision of this method so that I could apply it to a LS993ZVF sprint Sim locked phone. I live in the morroco and want to use the phone on straight talk. Please be so kind as to provide current sites for any software needed. I greatly appreciate the time it will take as the phone would be provided to a family in desperate need of a Straight Talk compatible phone as I will be adding the plan and paying for the services I just can't afford a new phone and I had this one collecting dust. You wouldn't know the amount of appreciation both me and the family would have. Thanks in advance.
