hi all,
i'm sorry for disturbing you all..
i live outside USA, and i want to buy a Tmobile HD 2 in USA.
is there anybody knows how can i buy the Tmobile HD 2 without plans? how much is it without plan? because i have a cousin that can ship the phone in a few days, so i will need the info about the price..
(please don't give me a price on ebay, because i need to buy the phone at the Tmobile store)
Thanks in advance..

is it still available now? i heard that they're all out of stock..
I'm unsure. You have to order online or call.
out of stock online and stores. hv to wait for one week.
OMG then its finished for me..
my last chance is monday..
cause my cousin will be leaving at tuesday..
do tou guys think it is still possible?
my cousin is in seattle, and i havent heard from him since yesterday..
gosh i am so curious
I've been dying to get it, but it is out of stock..
I went today to T-mobile store in Pleat Hill (SF Bay Area), and it's still out of stock.
the rep said maybe by Monday, but he's not sure
thanks for the info duke911
my cousin is in seattle right now, but tomorrow he will leave and go to portland, and going back to seattle at monday.. maybe i'll try to contact him later, just hope that there will be new stock in monday..
also, i have a simple question.. i have to unlock the phone cause i will use it in asia, and i am wondering how is the unlock process? is it gonna tke a longtime? can i ask the retail store to unlock it for me without have to call and send a fax?
It sounds like u need the European/Asian version. It is much easier to get on Ebay and such.
yeah i think so, but my cousin just moved to USA, and he never had any experiences with ebay or anything like that.
so as far as i know, the only way is to ask him to go to the retail store and try to find one (or is there any other store that sell the phone without contract at the same price?)
i tried to ask, and finally had come to a conclusion that they will restock on monday, so i hope that i can still make it, cause that is my last hope..
thanks in advance
Some Radio Shacks carry them and still have a few in stock, so tell him to call around.
hi amb9800
thanks a lot for the info, it is very useful
the problem is i dont know if the radio shacks sells them without contract or not, cause i want to buy the non contract one, and ask them to unlock it
thx for the info anyway..

The reason why is the TMo US version will not give you 3G network in Asia or Europe. They make a version that does and it is highly available in Europe and Asia. The great thing is it works in both places so you should be covered. Truth is it would be a better phone for you from the information you've given us.
yeah i know that..
but anyway, i still prefer the Tmo US version, it comes with a bigger ROM size than the asian & european version, and it also comes with 16GB micro sd.. the Asian only comes with 8GB micro sd..
well, just called my cousin and turn out that he lives in Lynnwood seattle, and the nearest mall is alderwood mall, that has Tmobile retail shop there.. hope they have a new stock in monday..
Ebay?
Why don't you try ebay? You'll pay a little more of course, but at least HD2s are available for purchase.
as i already mentioned above, my cousin is just moved to US for 3 weeks, he doesn't know how to purchase something online (yet). so the only clue that i can give to him is to visit Tmo retail store. is there any news regarding the new stock?
Walmart
All Walmart stores sell the phone without contract for 500.00 outright plus sales tax if applicable.
thx polera257 for the info, but unfortunately my cousin is completely blind about the road maps and the only place that he can go to is the alderwood mall, lynnwood..
he is on his way to the mall to see if there's any HD2 spotted yet..
wish me luck guys.. i am so dying to have it..
I called T-mobile store today, and they said they did not receive any HD2s today
the lady said they received a bunch of different phones, but no HD2
she said that I should be notified when the device arrives since I'm on the waiting list
Man! I kinda feel like someone waiting for a heart transplant , this really sucks!
@ duke911
wow it really hurt me
until now, i cannot contact my cousin, we wouldn't reply my bbms.. so i don't know whether he got the phone (hopefully) or not..

I can upgrade my phone in about three weeks, just been looking on the t-mobile website and the ameo has gone ??
I know that a new version is due out this month, does anyone know if T-Mobile UK will start selling the new version or have I missed out altogether ??
Thanks Guys
One Possible Thought
I have used TMO US for many years and they will often discontinue one device when prepairing to release a new replacement handset. I am not saying this is the case but based on past experiance with TMO US.
Who knows perhaps they will release a TMO branded version of the X7510.
Cheers
BR
yer i think so, was looking myself, and had no luck. if you go to a shop, you might get a good deal ebcause theyll want to get rid of them?

They will be waiting for AP 4.0 to be released to have an up-to-date device
Dieter
I have just sent them an email to ask
Got a response from T-mobile
They say it is out of stock and they don't know when it will be back in stock
I sent another email yesterday to ask if they will be selling the Ameo 16gb in the UK, and they emailed me back and said yes they are very soon.
Looks like I will be able to get one after all
theres no old ameo on their site, or in shops or brochures...
im getting a new tmob contract tmoro, so im gona see if they have any ameos in stock and ill get another one yay
lol
http://www.ukphoneshop.com/upgrades2_orange.asp?Network=T-Mobile
it seems theyre selling it for £290
it says upgrade, and i dindt go through all the steps
but worth a look if you want one cheap
Rory
Thanks for that but I think that is the old version. Before t-mobile stopped selling it I could have got it with them for £200 as an upgrade. I am hoping that the newer version will cost about the same.
I just wish instead of saying soon t-mobile would have said when they will start to sell it
I bought one from T-mobile this week, used this link:

Can the Telus HTC Hero be unlocked, without having any telus sim or being activated on telus in any way at all? I'm on Bell but want an android device. Was thinking of buying it, unlocking it, and throwing in a Bell sim.
unlock?
I am looking for the same answer, it should be able to get unlocked question is has anyone don it yet.
Unlocked and android 2
Better yet lets see it unlocked and android 2 installed!
There is a guy on eBay selling unlock code for the Telus Hero (try searching "telus hero"). If you are willing to shell out 25 bucks, you may want to try that. He said that he would refund you if his code didn't work.
Telus does not lock the phone, that's what the CSR told me. Pretty much u can put in any sim card to make it work.

That's really good news for us AT&T guys!!! I just need to buy one now, from what I hear Telus will not ship to the USA.
So far, actually buying one is the biggest issue. There's been discussion both here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580418
and on some other forums, such as:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=1585687
About buying it. Apparently both Best Buy and Walmart in Canada have them, but only sell them in the store and won't ship them. (Best Buy's is on their website, but Walmart's doesn't seem to be).
I'm an AT&T subscriber that's been keeping an eye out for a way to buy a Telus HTC Hero. If I lived close to Canada, I'd drive up and get one, but I live in Georgia, so it's a bit far. I hope somebody finds a place online or something.
I'd be careful about believing the Telus CSR info that the phone is unlocked. Somebody posted on Boy Genius Report that they bought one and the phone IS locked.

thanks for the heads up
I just got my brand new Hero from Telus at square one.
I then put my Rogers sim card in.
I unlocked it successfully through mobileincanada.com it took 10 minutes to receive the unlock code.
Everything is working great so far. Except for wifi ... having issues connecting to any hot spots? it may be just weak signal or something ... will do some more investigating.
btw. My old phone was the HTC HERMES (I loved it for many years) but it's time to move on
Hey all right! Congratulations!

So, just checking: You live in Canada, right? You didn't drive there from USA, right?
I'm just looking at this from afar. So that mall has a main Telus store and a satellite store. For the smaller store, I see that the store mgr or seller provides a non-telus email address. So, for those who want this phone, i don't guess you'd think he'd sell & ship them, right?
Because what were the requirements to buy the phone? I'm just curious since so many people in US are trying to find a source where to buy these phones from.
How much did mobileincanada charge to unlock? And would they be a possible source for buying telus phones, and re-selling & shipping, at a markup, to USA?

This is how I feel about my T-mobile Wing... My unlocked Europe/GSM version of the Hero arrives tomorrow. I wanted the brown color Then I should just have to call up t-mobile's data group and get the settings to use it, with my swapped out sim card, right? (I know, i know, i won't get 3G. That's okay with me. there are many tradeoffs)
You don't need to meet any requirements to buy the phone outright. Other than having the cash to do so
I've bought 3 this week for USA members to ship to them. Was no biggie.

Yes that's who I'm doing it for
I am waiting mine to arrive (my friend in Canada bought and shipped it to me).
Just now I went to HTC Canada's website and looked at the spec again:
Dual mode UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (900/2100MHz for
EU/Asia, 850/1900 for US and 850/2100 for Telstra)
It's funny how they list 850/1900 for US on HTC Canada's website, as if the phone was designed to work in the US. They could have put it much better by saying "850/1900 for Telus"... Only AT&T uses 850/1900 here in the US, and NO I don't think AT&T is carrying any Android device in the near future.
It's like "Hey, friends across the borders. I am sorry for making the Hero exclusively on CDMA networks in your country, but you know what, here is something that you may like."
Is anyone that's a member here at XDA currently affliliated with T-mobile? I ask this because I am one of the unlucky few who did not make the cut this morning and recieve their fresh HD2... =(
Either way.. if someone here who works for T-Mobile can accurately tell me when you guys are planning to restock, it would greatly be appreciated and I'm sure other members here would like to hear this info as well.. Thanks

well you get $100-150 for switching from a carrier to tmobile.
the winmobile deal is a authorized tmobile deal, but only via phone sales at that number
I work for T-Mobile and I can tell you that even at our flagship location (where I work) we only recieved 20 units. There was very little stock in the initial shipment, I will know more on Friday when I go into work. I'll check back here and if you havent posted anything I'll let you know what I find. Obviously stock will depend on where you are but in general I would say, keep calling the stores in your area and ask to be placed on a call back sheet.
If you are switching over, I can assure you the rep you speak with WILL call you back (if s/he values their paycheck ) I know I would!
They should have a signup sheet for HD2s (We do in our store...)
I switched from ATT to T-Mobile online with no problems. Was not after any of the discounts really though so going in makes sense if thats what you want.

Did you check authorized dealers like Radio Shack or Walmart? Minneapolis area is sold out at T-Mo stores but radio shack still had one last night. Also if you have a new account Radio Shack said they had better deals.
Anybody planning on buying the off contract Rogers version of the Xperia Play (R800a) to use on AT&T? The big release day is tomorrow...
Im wondering about this too. Ive been wanting a xperia play since before it was announced. Problem is, Im with Bell. Just want to be sure I can unlock it and use it with my current carrier instead of Rogers.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I emailed Mobileincanada.com if they could do it and they replied yes. I was referred to them by a fairly knowledgeable guy on Howard Forums who used them in the past. They will purportedly refund your unlock if it doesn't work...
I would go buy one and try but I don't live in Canada, heh. The nearest Rogers store is over 6 hours away from me and no guarantee they will have stock when I get there.
http://www.mobileincanada.com/How-To-Unlock-Your-Cellphone
Looks like im gonna have to do a little recon mission. I think they have a Xperia play on display in my mall. Ill have to see if I can get the IMEI and check that website to be sure.

A tutorial on how to unlock your Xperia Play phone. Rogers Xperia Play is amongst the list of phones in the descriptions. So I'm guessing that it can be unlocked, unless cellunlocker.net is a scam {highly doubt it based on brief research}
Guys I have a question :
I won a free xperia play from sony ericsson canada and I can't connect it to fastboot. I tried holding search then plug in usb but no blue light. I tried back and i get green light but the drivers dont work. I just wanna see if I unlock the bootloader
What model number is your Xperia Play? R800a? I believe all Rogers models (R800a) are SIM/Network locked, which can't use the official bootloader according to Sony's docs.
http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/which-phones
People have explained a way to get root even with a locked bootloader in the forums though.
I too am looking for an outlet to buy a Canadian Play from. I assume at this point all 'official' distributors of the phone can't export it outside the country since it is SIM locked to Rogers.
TheChancellor... please post your results!

Planning on getting this phone.
A co-worker is in Canada this week and is flying back to the US in a few hours. I asked him to pick up an Xperia Play for me. He went to Best Buy, and they wouldn't sell him one without a contract. He is gonna go to a Rogers store on the way to the airport and try to get one.
The first thing I will need to do if/when I get it is to Sim Unlock it. I have been looking for a site to do it that is less shady and not that expensive.
I will probably go with the site mentioned above unless someone suggests something better in the next few hours.
Afterwards I will reply here with the results.
If any one else has any success or failure getting their Xperia Play Sim Unlocked let us know.
I used this site a few time: mobileincanada. Very fast (less than 1 hour normally). Got my Rogers Xperia play unlocked today and now I use it with Telus, so should work with any network (assuming it's the right frequency)
Been refreshing eBay all day but nothing coming up. Sad. I really want one. Judging by the number of hits this post is getting so does everyone else, lol.
That sucks reports are coming in that Best Buy won't sell without a contract. I called them just last week to confirm they could sell one contract free and they said they could. Must be totally hit and miss right now. No way in hell I'm driving 6 hours across the border just to get the run around...

Hello everyone, this end of the month I will go on vacation in New York from Italy, and I'd love to buy the new nexus 4, but obviously I can not use the play store not having neither a credit card nor a U.S. place of dispatch . I saw, however, that tmobile will sell in their stores, I was wondering if in addition to the version with contract tmobile also sold only the phone, just in case a higher price than the playstore 349usd. thank you very much in advance.
"Rumor" has it T-Mobile USA will market it up to $ 500.00 without a contract (witch I find ridiculous) BUT that hasn't been confirmed .. At this point they are all speculations.

thank you dear, I'll see to seek confirmation of these rumors, in the meantime look for some other user to know something more
If the markup turns out to be ridiculous (charging 500 USD for a 350 USD phone) then call your hotel (or wherever you're staying) and see if you can get packages delivered there. The delivery should take less than 5-6 business days, so it's doable if you're staying in America more than a week. If that's not the case, then you could always find a quick free vpn trial, vpn to America and purchase the phone before you get here so it's at your hotel before you are (just have them hold it if they will, again make sure it's ok before you do so). Good luck! Enjoy your stay!

Unfortunately my problem is: to buy something on playstore U.S. you have to pay with a American credit card , which unfortunately (and I would say of course ) I did not. I had also thought to send me the N4 to the apartment but would be very risky and unreliable. the only solution would be to find someone who will buy me , but who has all this trust in others?
ps: I'd buy it for 500usd I must admit, that the currency exchange is always much less than 549euros that would 700usd. I would only confirm that it is sold in tmobile stores

ps: I'd buy it for 500usd I must admit, that the currency exchange is always much less than 549euros that would 700usd. I would only confirm that it is sold in tmobile stores

Really the trust only has to go one way. If you are willing to take the chance then you pay in advance and you are the only one that needs to trust. If you want the other person to send the phone without getting paid first then that person is the only one that needs to trust someone. You could check with some bank to be the go between and let them hold your money until they get the phone.

it is still a complicated and difficult to accomplish. whether I trusted, to give money to someone I do not know (which I do not think I'd do) and if someone you trust to loan me the money. not to mention that I would only public transportation in a city that does not know to pick up the box. of course now I will try other solutions and this will take it into consideration only as a last choice. plus I also find this person that would make me the favor. thanks anyway for your suggestion.
however, still no news / certainty that n4 is sold without a contract?
has anyone had any new news about my question?
