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.

TATA Docomo started selling HD2 on 15th. They say that HD2 will be sold exclusively by them for 7 days. However I could see that the phone is already listed in Univercell.
http://www.univercell.in/english/pages/user/display?mode=product_details&productId=28069
HTC has updated their site with the price and availability info.
http://www.htc.com/in/press.aspx?id=120090&lang=1033

thanx i will order my handset from here.....
Regards

Univercell Doesnt Have it yet
I ordered through online on 15th Dec in Univercell site. They are saying that they are yet to get the stock and not sure when they will get it. On the other hand in chennai many other stores have HD2 ready to be sold. So call up univercell and enquire about the availability before ordering.

By the way i have ordered from a hk website...but its way too costly than in india. It cost my Rs40,000 plus Rs5,000 custom. And in india the rate is expected to be around Rs36,000. So sad. If i've waited just few more days.

Since I buy for my personal purpose, the customs duty was very less.
It came AED10, which is around Rs.130.
And yes. It was through DHL only and the price I have given is including it.

Tata docomo had a lock in period on the HTC HD2 from December 15th to 21st...they have horrible customer service, who would want to buy a phone from them, specially something so expensive!
from tomorrow onwards, the unlocked versions should turning up, have confirmed with a dealer here in Chennai...
only thing is i am wondering if i can push him to lower the price a bit!

33,638.10 INR here in Switzerland
www.digitec.ch (search for HD2)

Just use any ROM. It does not matter where you buy the phone! Its just the same crap sold in different place!

Officially, it is the latest ROM available from HTC.

Legend availability!

Ok This topic is to list all countries where the Legend is already available or if somebody knows any ''programmed'' launch dates in other ones.
Also Why in the Asians and ME HTC websites the Legend is not listed at all?
Would this mean it will be late or not sold there??
Europe:
Netherlands: Available
Belgium: Available
UK and rest of Europe: 22-24 March
Asia:
Do you know any dates or price??
Middle East:
Do you know any dates or price??

From experience, I've learned to not be concerned when an upcoming device is not listed on my region's HTC site.
No word about availability here in Hong Kong. But if it's anything like the release of the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, they'll list the device on the site 2 days before it's available for sale at retail stores. This happened about a month after it's available over in Europe.
Btw, if you still feel bad that new devices aren't listed on your region's site yet, you should check out the products section of the Korean region of HTC's site. That's a sad selection there...

Poor Korea
The Hero is not listed in HTC ME website while it's available since October
So if I understand logically the Legend will not be available in Asian countries before ending April knowing it will be in Europe ending March
If only the Lebanese customs don't take 20% TAX on DHL and UPS I would have buy it from Belgium online

Legend is Available in Czech Republic.

The Legend is available in France now via expansys.fr

Norway today

I'm not sure how, but expansys.ie is saying that Legend is in stock:
http://www.expansys.ie/d.aspx?i=195942
I've checked in the morning and they had 100, now they have 39.
This is very strange, as Legend is available in UK on 29th of March

Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 shopping in store? Austria, Hungary, Germany ...where?

Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.

Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.

importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!

I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK

I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?

[REQ] HTC Aria to France

Hi everyone,
I'm in Paris - France, and was quite interested when reading Aria related announcement and specs.
Unfortunately I now know this handset is only available in US when being AT&T, and there is no Aria equivalent for Europe.
I went to eBay first but did not find a single device members would ship to France... So here I am,
Who could help me getting this phone ?
Thanks for your answers / suggestions
