Hello everybody,
Just so you guys don´t inccour in the same mistake I made, Intergontech shiped me an empty box, I contacted them and they said they didn´t have anything to do with it. After much debate, they offered me the following: We will ship you an empty box (again) and then we will claim the insurance from UPS, Unbelieveble!! (I got the every e-mail to prove).
why isnt it ok to claim insurance from the first box ?
hope it was thru ebay ... if u decide to file thru paypal , this might come handy

Here are the pictures!
OK! These are the pictures of the event, right at the airport treminal, unbelievable!!!!!!
Integron Tech started offering HTC HD2 - LEO (8585) some 4 weeks before the official launch date! not for pre-order, it was suppose to have 8 units in stock (guys, that was a chem!!! and I fell for it)!
I know you must be gutted by this, but I couldn't help but chuckle at "Invoice No.: HD2"

We couldn´t claim the insurance for the first time, something to do with the price thay posted on the packdge, so no one got nothing out of the problem, so I thrathend to go public with it, then they offered me the proposterous deal.

Tell me about it!!! lol
How did you purchase it?
Ebay? File a claim.
Their website? OK, a bit tougher.
How did you pay for it?
Credit card? Great! Call the CC and tell them you didn't receive the product/received an empty box and to reverse the charges. Order from somewhere else.
Cash? Check? Uhh, yeah, you're in trouble
There is rarely a reason to argue, your CC should always have your back*

better accept the deal
never heard of integron tech until this post. Have you done research on this company? Do they have a good track record? I don't know about ebay, but if this was done through their company and charged to your CC, I'd call them up and the money would be back in my pocket within hours.
Oh well, you live and you learn, I hope you enjoy your "MP3 Player"
Please keep us updated.
Yeah that sucks. Good luck and let us know for sure.
when it's too good to be true... well, it isn't :/
there are a lot of websites doing this... currently, a lot of nexus one offers (260$ for the phone) lol
I got stung buying a nokia n93 a few years ago. Got most of my cash back but i still ended up out of pocket. Its a tough lesson but you only make the mistake once.

Guys! you are all great!! I like the idea of talking to my CC company, i´ll give it a try, I´ll be posting similar threads all over the net where Integron will be the main character, hope I can help people not to get themselves ripped off by companies like that!
Could you tell us what happened in the end?
I was thinking of buying from integrontech but now am concerned

i guess i did a warranty job and the phone got sent to my old adress and thing is i dont live there anymore and i told them so they refunded me momney so i wouldnt have to pay them back and they sent me another phone for free. anyways i go back to my old house just to say hi to friends and stuff and i see that my phone that they sent was there its a 8525 so now i have an extra 8525 can they track it down if i use it ?
They could if they really wanted to. But do you think they'll go through all that trouble just for you ? lol Doubt it...

So you ordered a phone, and initially thought it never came. Then you called and said, "Hey, where's that phone?" They said, "Sorry. We'll send another one."
Now you are basically saying, "Thanks AT&T for being so helpful and sending me a replacement phone. Now that you were so helpful, I will keep both phones and really give you the shaft for being honest."
Having two phones, you now wonder if you can get in trouble. Well, let me put it this way: if AT&T was to find out you have both phones, they might think you lied to them in an attempt to steal a phone from them. Most people and most businesses wouldn't respond too well to this.
The ethical thing to do is exactly what your question asks when reading between the lines: Should I keep what doesn't belong to me?
If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.
Whatever...I worked for at&t for a year...nothing ethical about that company. I say keep it and be happy.
Answer is yes they could find out whos SIM is in the phone with that IMEI... Unless you use that program floating around and change the IMEI haha.

"More like a wat if"?
Strange, because you've offered to sell this phone to another member here already. You might want to get your story straight before Mark comes knocking on your door looking for his "kickback".
Isn't that like stealing more than half a thousand dollars?
I mean, Don't get me wrong, but you could let them know you moved, so they can send the phone to the right place.

You're probably right. But at the same time, is it worth the trouble and worry? Even if AT&T isn't ethical, does that mean you shouldn't? It's all about how you want to live your life.

wow, this motherfu***r even claims that he maid Open Touch, man i would be mad if i was ttran. Whatever we do these bastards keep selling roms on ebay and other sites.......
they dont get it through their thick f***in head
Just can't believe that all those dumb shyts are trying to take advantage of other people's hard works. Feel bad for Ttran.
Now thats just RUDE!
That guy should get reported and have his accounted suspended. Better yet, i will tell ebay this. Im reporting this guy and you should all do the same!
And yeah i fell bad for ttran. This ass is taking credit for his hard work and deserves a punishment
reported, damn i hate ppl like this, and the fact that he claims he made it is even worse !
F*ck...it happend to IT'je to earlier this year.
Perhaps even the same m*therf*cker..........
Q for our moderators...is there any chance of finding this guy on xda and banning his login and ip?

the guy who was selling ITJE's rom actually stepped up and confessed on ITJE's thread, so i doubt that he has returned to his old ways...but whoverver this is deserved to be punished...
we should tell microsoft. they've sued people over stupider stuff.
It sucks when someone takes your hard work and sells it on Ebay...sucks even more when they claim they made it, and it sucks even more when you get emails from people who bought it on Ebay asking for help with the product they bought off you from Ebay...I got about 50 emails from people who bought a PSP guide i created along time ago. Damn scammers...if i knew people would of paid for it, i might of tried to make some money on the 30+ hours i spent working on that damn guide!!!
But what can you do...its the internet and people are going to suck anyway!!
Yes i'm giving away my old Universal.
i'll even help with shipping
i've upgraded to the TOUCH HD, and want to leave my Uni to someone that could benefit.
the way i figure it, i've loved it since i had 3 years ago and if it wasn't for the hard work of the cookers who cracked the updates and even WinMo6, i would have been a lot less happy.
they're very responsible for a lot of the productivity and fun i've had along the way, which i've payed forward. now this is a little direct payback .
The forum members have been great support too, and this community has been a constant source that fuels the evolution of our Uni's.
Included is :
1) HTC Universal G3 (very good condition)
2) 2gb SD card
3) USB to Mini-USB (for data and charging)
4) Tomal's 8.2 ROM (excellent)
5) 2 stylus' (replacement for the original i wore out!)
6) replacement battery (bought 2008, 1600MaH. original wore out)
*pics upon request*
I'd like it to go to one of the cookers that may need an new/extra Uni for testing, so that it can help with their efforts in supporting the rest of the Uni lovers here.
if there are no takers from any of the cookers, i will happily leave it to anyone else that wants it
now, how do you get it? simple.
for ONE WEEK i invite any cookers to PM me or post here their interest here in a free Uni.
if no cookers want it, then i'll accept interest from anyone else that cares to have ask for it.
p.s.
my partner upgraded to a Samsung Omnia, if anyone wants a free Nokia 7710 give me a prod
I'll take both, cover shipping, and give you something for your troubles if you u have them.
-Mc
I am very interested!
Hope you consider this request
%Thanks in advance
some people already PM'ing and posting here.
i'll keep the option open for a single week to let more prospective people get a chance as i want the devices to go to the best person for the greater good.
all people responding are automatically "on the list" to be chosen.
happy bidding (wait, wrong website)
greeting from hong kong
looking for replacement for my uni. my uni RIP need to rewrite boot loader
first i have to say that you must be the kindest soul in the human race to want to give your handsets FOR FREE and not sell them on ebay..
and second becouse i loved it,becouse i admired it and becouse i cant live without a touch screen and i want it like mad.. PLEASE SEND ME THE NOKIA
cheers.
ps
i live in london
well i believe the small amount of money i could sell it for on Ebay (a few hundred dollars AU) and how i could invest that much money, compared to some that can actually use a free device for the greater good is no comparison for me.
there's an Ebay sale HERE where the person has a great offer for a complete Uni with accessories, for a reasonable price.
seriously the value of a few hundred bucks means little to me compared to the value of the device in the best hands.
think of it like:
*giving $300 to a starving stranded man on an island.....or giving him a $50 picnic hamper.
*or, a wealthy person giving $10 to someone in need, compared to a poor person giving $10 to someone even more in need.
there are many energy forms of value, depends who you're relating to and how. that much money in my life isn't worth much, those devices in other lives could mean a lot.
So there's no loss for me, i've already gained enormously from the device and i already have a replacement. i have an efficient upgrade.
someone can benefit a free device/s and gain enormously. an efficient upgrade too.
just sharing the energy

Put it in bootloader mode. You can see small note at the bottom of the screen, if it starts from 1, then its G3. If it starts from 2, then its G4.

Hi
Any news on the winner?
Please let me be me to win the nokia
So I was helping a customer today (I'm a Tmo Employee) with their rate plans and then started talking to him about some phones. Well he pulls out a Nexus One out of one of the stock N1 pouches and told me he FOUND this (who the hell finds free stuff like this?!) and wanted to check if it was a Tmo or ATT version because his internet wasn't working. I verified it was a Tmo version and it wasn't working for him because he had the Blackberry internet on his plan. When I asked if he wanted to change it he was like oh no I like my Blackberry. Then here is how the next part went.
Guy: Do you know anybody that would want to buy this?
Me: As a matter of fact, I'll be glad to take it.
Guy: How about $200?
Me: How about I go to the ATM next door RIGHT NOW!
So now I'm the owner of another N1 so this one goes to my GF. Buuuuuut the best part is, it isn't just the normal one. This one has the picture of the Android waving a flag on the back with no HTC branding. Hmmmmmmm...
Just had to share this. Was too excited about it not to! lol
Just bought your self a brand new stolen ('found' is an alternative word for stolen) N1 Concrats! It's the best device with Android!
so let me translate for you.
This guy steals an N1 and brings it in to your store and asks if you'll pay him $200 for it and you say yes.
Got it...
You sound like a goddamned thief to me.
Disgusting.
could easily track down the original owner in minutes...
but my question is, why is there an android flag and no htc branding? Is it a special phone?

I'm thinking it could be a Beta phone or something? Looks like one of the ones that Google employees were given and were not supposed to "sell" BUT I have heard of some that have been "lost" from employees and were bought from people. But the phone had no SIM card and looked wiped when I got it. Was at the stock 2.1 home screen.
The guy didn't "look" like he stole it. Nice guy, wife, 2 young kids. I'm pretty sure the guy found it somewhere.
Grats on buying stolen goods. Not the smartest thing to brag about, either.
Or possibly you've just met a Google worker that was quietly getting rid of his phone
i would have bought it too shiiiiit lol
The guy said the other guy found it. How the hell are you guys jumping to the conclusion that it's stolen?
The word "found" is similar to the word "stolen"?
So when my car stereo was missing out of my car one day, someone just found it and it actually wasn't stolen? Maybe this, I found 20 bucks on the street once but I must've stolen it right?
BTW, congrats on getting a awesome deal. Ignore the haters and you and your girlfriend enjoy the phone.
Damn you are really LUCKY android user. 200$ it's nothing for that phone
'The word "found" is similar to the word "stolen"?'
Maybe i said it wrong but i meant in this sentence it's an other word for found... And i'm not a hater just know how people are, they don't come in and say "i just stole the phone want to buy for 200 bucks?" That would be stupid! it's pretty clear it's stolen but i wouldn't care about it I'm Happy for the new owner and wished one day someone comes to me for a cheap good as new phone for 1/3 of the origional price (i got my hero for 150 bucks @ releaseday, found by someone i know )
Grats on capitalising on someone elses misfortune.
I'd gladly buy your phone if it was found/stolen rather than try and track you down. (/not. it's very easy to track down the owner of a lost phone for which i have done multiple times).
Did you keep the guys contacts & messages on their or just go and delete them? so as not to spark your conscience. How about when you were deleting the owners google login details to put your own in its place? did that make you feel all light and giddy too?
You work for T-Mobile, someone brings in a T-Mobile version of the N1 and you buy it rather than trying to find the owner on your internal system?
Morally bankrupt
SC
If I worked in your store and someone brought in a "found" phone, then (a) it wouldn't have left the store again, and (b) I would NEVER, EVER, have offered to buy it. Totally reprehensible.
If you find something it doesn't automatically become yours. You're no better than a common thief. In fact, you're worse, because you knowingly paid money for it.
I'd expect the manager to back me up on (a) and help track the original owner down. I can assure you that if you worked for me and I found out about this, you'd be out of the door so quick you'd wonder what happened.

There was no SIM card in the phone. No contacts. Nothing at all. To me it looked like it was wiped which I'm sure the dude didn't do cause he had no clue how to use this phone or his phone which I might add.

No way to track down people from IMEI's :-/
I'll give OP the benefit of the doubt based on his story of how the events went down.
People lose phones all the time... that's why applications like WaveSecure exist. Without having any such application on the phone, it gets to be rather difficult to find the owner - especially if all data has been wiped from the device. Without a SIM card, there's not really anything to tie the device to its previous owner.
It is kinda sketch, but I don't think the OP is in the wrong here.
I give it a week before its IMEI blocked
Phone is in mint condition as is the screen. Digitizer stopped working.
I don't know if it's the actual digitizer or the flex cable, but I'd rather not do it myself and ruin something.
Anyone know where I can get it fixed or get it figured out what's wrong with this thing for a decent price?
Hey orangekid, you should contact XDA Member connextion2005. I see you are from Texas, well so is he, and I know he can get your HD2 up and running again.

Since this is a very common problem you can get it repaired at most reputable phone repair shops (try Google maps). The digitzer+glass costs at least $70-80 though! Even if the just cable is broken, they will replace the whole screen for you.

There is a place in Norfolk, VA you can mail your phone to. They had pretty reasonable prices when i called a few years ago about something. Here is the link. They have several in the US, this happened to be closest to me in Maryland. You need to tell them that it would be mailed in, i think but not 100% that they require an additional $10 to mail the phone back to you ontop of the charges to fix the phone but being that i hadn't called in a few years this price might have gone up.
