Here's a great deal for the HTC Touch HD
Only £474.99 Delivered
http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-deals/htc-touch-hd-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone-pound-549.99-delivered.html
Play.com have changed the price of this handset a few times over the past 4 weeks - it was £549, then £499, then went back up to £519 last week.
£474.99 with the discount code is probably the best price for the time being.
It seems as the 8GB microSD card is not included in teh play.com deal...
hold on, they also don't mention the pouch (case), additional stylus and screen protector. Does anyone know if play.com just forgot to add these items to the list on their website, or do they actually remove it from the box prior to selling ???
I assume that all these items are part of the standard kit for the HD.
I've seen a couple of unboxing videos and they all seems to include these items.
I've placed an order with them - hopefully it'll arrive within the next couple of days so I can report back to you then.
Could it be because they don't include the 8GB microSD card?

I would assume you will get the standard box contents including 8GB card, Pouch, Stylus, Screen Protector, etc.
Yes, please do post the box contents.

i've also place an order with them so i'll feed back. i'm not worried about the microSD card as i already have an 8MB one but i hope i get the case.
here's waiting (im)patiently!
Worst case scenario if it doesn't have the 8GB micro sd card then play.com have them for £13.29 which still isn't bad.
Still waiting for my delivery
Hey guys do you know of any vouchers, like the one from play.com, but for handtec or clove?
yeh, I called earlier and they confirmed the 8GB card is not included.
but yes, happy to hear it is cheap on play also. Out of curiosity, out of those of you who are still waiting on delivery, when did you ORDER from play?
thanks.
But why is the 8gig not included? All HTC Touch HD euro boxes include a memory card by default. The fact that the boxes are not factory sealed or shrinkwrapped means Play.com can remove the memory card and resell it and charge you seperately for it. If they are doing this, then that is totally dishonest.
Just out of curiosity can someone confirm whether the actual Touch HD box states that there is an 8GB micro SD card included in the box?
I'm guessing that maybe the staff at play.com are just going by what it says on the box

I placed my order on Friday. According to the online status it's been dispatched by Parcel Force. I expect delivery to be within 2-3 days.
Thank you for your reply.
I am very interested to see what you guys get in your box , ie does it actually HAVE the 8GB card or not. TBH, I DID call them, and the lady DID say it didn't come with one, but she sounded like she was just reading off the website, which I can do better myself lol.
Time will tell folks! Hopefully it'll tell before my funds come together and I make a purchase
....IB a n e
I ordered my first one on the 2nd November and can see from the tracking number that delivery will likely be tomorrow...but I am going to refuse to accept that one from Parcel Force and they can send it back to Play.com, because they reduced their price and refused to refund me the difference.
So I re-ordered with the RAC voucher for £475 as opposed to the original £520 Hope to get the 2nd one I ordered maybe Thursday/Friday? I too will be disappointed if they have removed the memory card, that is bordering on stealing lol.
Just received my HD !
I can confirm that it does have the 8GB micro SD card, as well as an extra stylus, pouch and everything else that you would expect !
arifhanid, you placed you order on Friday and it came today ? not exactly fast delivery, or am i expecting too much... ?
Placed my order just now, I'd be smiling a lot if i recieved mine by Friday !
I've ordered from Play.com before and as far as my experience goes they don't do next day delivery.
I think a delivery for Friday is probably quite realistic.
Woop!

£423.90? That's cheap. I realise now its because that excludes VAT because you live far far awaaayyyyy y y y y....
I don't know how long you guys are planning to keep your phone for, but I've seen so many people spend like crazy money on accessories on top of your device. eg.
$500 for the Fuze
$30 for bodyguardz protector (i want to buy just 1 piece for the back cover... but they don't sell it separately... can anyone draw me a pattern of that piece?)
$30 for an Innocase Surface - Black
$50 for a 16GB microSD
$30 for TV out cable
.... etc
By experience with the Tilt, I've only kept the phone for 10 months. In average, I change phone every years... and not all of those accessories will fit on your next phone. So why spending so much on something that you'll get rid off soon?
This is just out of curiosity, no finger pointing or judgment... I think it's fun to see who's the biggest spender here.
As for me, here are what I've spent so far on my Fuze
$550 for my Fuze
$10 for an N95 Case with wallet (which fit the phone nicely)
$15 for an 8GB microSD, Class 6 Trenscend
$10 for a desktop charger + extra battery
$15 for the rubber back cover on expansys
$10 for a stylus with Ballpoint Pen... but I'm still waiting, it should costs around $5 once it hit eBay.
----For a total of $600----
and i find this is quite expensive for a new phone. Hopefully in a few months I'm still able to sell the phone for a good price. I only buy what I really need.
$200 for Fuze via Amazon
$50 for 16gb SanDisk MicroSD
$8 for leather side flip case w/ magnetic latch

I have acquired many friends in the wireless industry over a 13 year career, and I take care of them and they take care of me. By the way you should see all the free stuff I received when I was at the CES show.

Mostly Shirts, Hats, Pens, Golf Balls, promo stuff. Then there is the cool stuff like the wireless induction charger, car chargers, cases, gift certificates from restaurants, Atomic clock, Rugged Bluetooth earpiece, Jump Drives, Lazer Pointers. The all you can eat and drink party from NOKIA. Oh yea and the IPHONE that was live and I went to jailbreakme.com on ( that was funny ). And the whole trip was complements of my employer and all you FINE at&t customers. Keep paying that bill so i can get ripped at CTIA.
Here is some more, I hooked the Nintendo dude up with a refurb tilt and boy did he hook me up.

Fuze - $0
Screen Protector- $0
Charger - $0
USB Cable - $0
------------------------
Grand Total - $0 = FREE
Fuze $250 (after $100 instant rebate + $50 mail-in)

AT&T Leather pouch $10
Car charger -Free- (Won it in a drawing)
I have a 1 month old Noreve Touch Pro/Fuze case for Sale. First $30 gets it shipped within the USA. I did not have the phone very long but I paid around $70 shipped. Case is in excellent condition. Thanks
What colour?
Sorry...The case is black. I will try to get a couple of good pics when my wife gets home with her camera. The case is in the Noreve box, nothing is missing.
Just sold my G1! I posted a craigslist ad last night around midnight, went to bed, and got two emails and two calls before 10am
It looked almost brand new because of the Ghost Armor I had on it. I also got a replacement Ghost Armor and gave them that too. $160 in all. Too cheap?? Man, that sold quick. How much have you guys sold yours for? I admit mine was almost perfect condition though, with the original box, accessories, and Ghost Armor.
Prob a little too cheap, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. You're not going to get much more than the subsidized price because a lot of people have no problem going in contract still and for some reason they'd rather pay their carrier more over time, then someone else.
I sold mine for $170 with a charger,usb cable, pouch....no case
makes me feel good about buying mine on craigslist over a year ago for $175
250 on ebay.
Had a white battery case and keyboard replaced to black.
CL wasnt getting more than 150 offers.
$185 on ebay with all accessories and the back cover started to loose paint where it scrapped on the slider.
Wow, all of you guys sold for more. Well, definitely on the low end, but I'm still pretty satisfied for having sold THAT fast and 0 hassle.
11 hours from putting up the ad to sold , and most of that time was sleeping
I sold mine for $212 on ebay. I had an extra battery with my 8 gb microsdhc card.
I sold my MT3G like new with everything originally included in the box on ebay for just over 300$
Sold mine for £165 then sold my HTC Hero for £265...
If you look after them it's cheaper to upgrade!
just sold my perfect condition black G1 for $160 on craigslist today. Sure I could have probably gotten 10-15 bucks more. But I sold it to a nice lady in less than 24 and didn't have to go far out of my way. Thats worth a good $10 to me.
sold my ADP1 with hero on it for 200
IMO you did well. "I" would not have paid more than $50 for a G1, but thats me.

Same here.
Luckily, the guy who bought mine didn't recognize my Nexus One...
I was thinking about selling my G1 for ~$200, it comes with two OEM batteries, a dock with spare battery charging slot, a 3.5mm headphone adapter, usb cable, 8gb sd, yada-yada (everything that came in the box with it). So, I think your price was about right.
lolol i sold my G1 to a good friend for a pack of cigarettes..
sold mine on craigslist for $130 in less than 3 hours. 8gb sdcard, 1600mAh, screen protector, all accessories, almost brand new no scratches.
I sold my year old G1 on CL in the original box, with all the accessories, and a usb/headphones splitter and 16GB class 2 SD for $200.
I sold my 2 used g1s with no charger, no microSD card, no accessories period for $225 each on craigslist. sold within 2 hours
Sold mine for 185 on ebay, bought nexus one for just over 210 after taxes. Not a bad trade off
Everything works. Some scratches and dents but only cosmetically. LCD is perfect and screen protector is on at all time. Comes w/ everything from the box, and includes 1 original stylus (it came with 2 originally).
AGB 3.0.0 is on the device now.
$300. USD + shipping (or local pick up in Vancouver Canada).
1st owner, originally bought from Expansys, shipped from US.
Accept Paypal, or EFT (banking transfer). Can set up private eBay if requested.
Price drop: asking $250. USD + shipping
As above, condition still same as last posted.
Price drop, still available, $150. USD + shipping
Same condition above, except I noticed that the original battery is not doing too well, so I'm ordering a replacement (non original) that will come in soon.
Despite being older, this is a very stable system after AGB 3.0.0 (the most stable and least bugs I have ever tried over the years).
If I don't sell it, then I'll re-purpose it as a dedicated GPS navigation device, as the screen size is not too bad (it has more real estate than a 5" GPS nav as those are wide screen aspect ratio). I actually sold my Garmin 1450LMT and my TomTom XXL 550TM and kept this instead!
