Great news if anyone is interested. I can deliver a Touch HD anywhere in continental US with shipping and insurance for $775.00. Paypal is the only payment method I would like to accept for protection of everyone. This is my way of contributing to this incredible website that has helped me so much over the last couple of years. I need 48 more people.
What's the ETA?
Latest update I have is last week of Nov. They are not getting to the UK till after the 20th.
Any chance of shipping to Australia? If so, will probably take 2.
I would prefer not to because I dont believe paypal verifies outside US. If you give me your address I can see about how much shipping would be.

As far as I knew they do. We have eBay Australia and PayPal is part of them now. I do all of my transactions through PayPal. Shipping would be to North Sydney, 2060, Australia. I now also have another friend thinking about getting one. So it could be 3 phones.
Also, no offence but how can you guarantee us that this is genuine?
Would you consider putting it up on Ebay? There's a rebate for buyers going on now, it's at 25% off today (it changes). You have to list it as Buy it Now and use Paypal. I assume you will add a few bucks to the price for listing fees etc.. but it would still cost us clost to $200 less, which would be a great deal, and you will get more people buying it.
Yeah I'd do eBay...
great!! on ebay then
let us know when you have posted on ebay.. even i will be interested..
Please make it a "buy it now" listing or "fixed price" listing, because the coupon is only applicable to those..
thanks.
i called Expansys and mobilecityonline and they have ebay accounts as well and are ready to put it on ebay.. will post more update when i call them tomorrow in the morning..
I'm also game for a Ebay with that discount! Count me in for "one".

Wow -- keep us updated on how to take advantage of this once it is up.
This phone will be PERFECT if they develop a radio for US 3G bands. Hopefully someone here will help with that.
Yeah guys I think I can do ebay but I did not want to since I dont have a solid delivery date yet. In fact no one in the US has yet. I also was really not trying to make much money on these, it was more to just get the devices to the users of this site.ou are more then welcome to contact me via phone or email if you have any questions. I normally do not do end user sales but thought I would try to save you guys some bucks since the markup on this device is pretty big. Let me look into ebay and see if it works out for me.

Dont hold your breath on 3G for us here in the US. Everything I have heard says it is a hardware issue not something that can be fixed with a radio rom or anything like that. But then again no one knows for sure right now. The p3600 was released without gps and then an update enabled the gps so it may be possible. We can keep our fingers crossed.
I live in NJ and I have decided to get this device whenever it is available. So please update on the situation in this post.
eBay or not, I'm still in.
Maybe edit the first post and keep a list of names as you get them and how many each person will be buying so we can see how far to go till we get enough buyers.
Put me down for one now, will confirm later whether I will take more than 1.

I live in Sydney too, and would join in this and make it four in Sydney. However, I will be visiting Singapore in early December, and might be able to get one there, I hope.
So when does the ebay discount code expire? OK let me see how we can do this ebay listing. Maybe a private auction only open to xda members. I need someone to help me keep track of how many people in the us and how many outside. Thanks for everyone willing to help me with the setup of ebay. Hopefully we can get the 50 that we need and then get start cooking and modding the newest toy from hTC.
I wouldn't hold your breath for a US 3G radio rom. If HTC doesn't release a US 3G version (which they said they won't), there simply won't be a US 3G radio rom -- and don't go around mixing roms from other devices!
As for the eBay discount, it's a Microsoft Live cashback promotion. It changes between 10%-30%, but there's no telling what it will be on any given day. A quick google will point you in the right direction.
Also, as fair warning, beware of eBay and Paypal's fees. Anything over US$500 and a decent chunk will get taken out.

Thanks, I will decide in November.
I'm taking shipping from US to Canada at my expense won't be a problem...
I have let my wife know I want this device...now that I have a hard dollar figure, let me throw down my suck-up over the weekend. Keep me in mind, and reach via PM if necessary. I am 85% sure we will be purchasing at least one unit (maybe two...wife and I both have the Raphael).
Thanks
Hi,
does anyone have any T-Mobile stores near them that they know have stock of this phone. Everytime I ring T-mobile direct for an upgrade they have none but have some for new connections. But some stores have stock where I can go and get an upgrade.
I am based near White city in London.
If anyone could help me with getting hold of one of this fantastic devices everyone is going on about.
thanks
Does it have to be from T-Mobile?
You can get one SIM-free from these guys - they have a shop just off Tottenham Court Road.
www.inkino.co.uk
Yes as I don't really want to spend that sort of cahs for sim free as I only have to pay £50 for my upgrade from T-mobile on a £25 month tariff.
I could also get the phone sim free and wiat for the upgrade and then sell one to make up the cost of sim free.
I will give T-mobile until the end of the day as some of their stores are getting them in this afternoon. Lets see what happens.
Inkino is quite good
I got mine from Inkino guys and they are quite good with the service and friendly.

Thanks for the advice, I just ogt it and hooked it up. It is very good and glad I got it. I will still upgrade on my t-mobile contract adn sell it on. Any takers for that opne let me know in the London Area. I am happy to flog it off for £350.0 once I get it from T-Mobile.
By the way ?I got the one today from the llink here at the shop in TCR unlocked Sim Free.
Contract or cash? No pre-sales, so are ya gonna camp out, or not? I'm payin cash, no contract. Will camp if necessary, lol. 476.94 including tax is a steel imo
im getting it too... with contract
think i might get one too.. my hd is dead ;-( would this have the 3G network?
^^Yup, as long as your have Tmobile service in your area.
Im Buying 2 Flat Out And Selling One For Profit. They Are Going For Almost $1000 Online.
impatiently waiting
time to retire my X1a
im gonna be the first to get it and renew my contract lol my topaz it was great but move over topaz HELLO LEO LOL
I'm definitely getting one... haven't decided on contract or not. I've been waiting months for this phone. Finally retiring my touch pro.
So there is the T8525 and T9193. I wonder if Tmobile's version model number will be different?
T-Mobile works fine in nyc. There's locations all over the place. I'll probably drop by in the morning. I hope it'll still be in stock when I get there, else I'll have to go to another location like 10 blocks away..

yup, makes no sense, it's been3-4 months it's been out alright, but it still has OFFICIALLY 576mb of ram, and double the amount of rom. It still goes for 630EUR here in italy new in shops (even if noone buys it at that price anymore tho), so it seems unreasonable to have it so cheap (about 400EUR?) off the shelves... maybe was a typo?
im gettin one 2 on someone esle contract

Do not question the smart phone gods benevolence! We have been blessed with a bounty beyond words. Still your tongue, lest we be cursed with 1980 motorola bagphones for all eternity
I've been hoping for the RAMAROM threads to come back to life again so it would entertain me for 3 more weeks...
Not me, already ordered euro version, im on at&t anyways
yes im getting it with contract and EIP haha I don't care if it gets Windows Phone 7 im not really feeling the UI so far, but im pretty sure the Devs here will port it to the HD2 CANT WAIT! I got Hd2 in my twitter feed to see all the updates, people who work for TMO are already playing with it for training =\
The 24th can't come soon enough
Definitely getting it on the 24th on the $60 Even More Plus 500 minutes unlimited text and data plan. And since I live in Delaware, that means no taxes--->WIN!
I've been with t-mob USA for 6 years, and my dad 13? ish.. when it was that other company.
and finally after all this time there is a reason to actually have t-mobile, haha.
I'm getting it, without the contract.
It is about $700 on Amazon and the best price being $675. Plus the shipping cost.
Does anyone have better offers?
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Unlocked-..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1270388078&sr=8-1
I am planning to get these phones for a cheaper price and ship it worldwide, so am taking in everyones opinion.
Why not buy the T9193? It's about the same price, as the T8585, PLUS you can get 3G Speeds, on other networks, like AT&T, with it.
Am not buying them for personal use.
Its for selling at a better price than Amazon and other sites
You'd never be able to expect as much as a retail store would. After all with a retail store there is a comeback for warranty etc.
I think your main thing is going to be beating T-Mobile's price, as this is where many US users are getting their's.
I paid $650 CDN.

If anyone wants to buy, take a look at ferraripassions typical business practices here:

read THAT before deciding to send this goob any money!
ferraripassion,
If you continue to ignore sending me, either, my unlock code, or a refund, I promise to make, hounding, you, my new "hobby".
You can expect me to, daily, hunt down every post you make and reply, with a link to this thread, to warn others of the folly of wasting money, by sending it to you.
On days you do not post I will look for all unlock related threads, linking to this thread, warning others of your tactics.
The admins may not have a problem with you preying on members here, but I will make, as many members, as possible, aware of your antics.
Choose, for yourself, which way this will go from now on.
Sincerely,

"ferraripassion" finally DID come across for me. It took some "work"... He claims he sent the code last night.. not quite the "2 minutes" that were brandished, but I did receive it, via forum posts, nonetheless, So I wasn't "ripped off."
Just setting the record clear (for ANYONE who actually cares).
From XDA's own marketplace, I got it for £310 (about $470). It was a week old, unlocked, perfect condition, with all accessories/box, and this was end of Feb.
I paid 630€ for mine, came with a 2gb memcard ...
It's only money...
1. t9193 model 1st week it was released... $917.00
2. Overnight / weekend shipping... $56.00
3. Screen shield & protective case custom fitted... $40.00
4. Attracting a crowd of gaukers and showing off the device features at the mall as they fitted my device...
*** PRICELESS! ***
Got mine off of AU.Ebay

T9193 new sealed
It is sitting at LAX right now until Customs figures out I ain't gonna smoke it!
Tmobile

$878.74 total from PersonalDigital for my T9193 back in Jan.
Im currently using a nexus 5. My screen is broken pretty badlyand and my headphone jack is failing. I really like the specs of the force/turbo. I'm on ATT so I would need to go force. I'd also like to get the force so I can root. But I'm haveing a hard time finding the phone on the market though. Is there anyone in the US that is using the force? If so where did you end up buying it from? Are you enjoying it?
You can get one from Mexico. I've got mine from UK because I went to EU for holidays. I'm really enjoying it. The best Android phone I ever had and the first one I'm using at is. No bl unlock, no root. Strange feeling
Usually I'm unlcoking and flashing custom rom max few days, max one month after purchase.
Did you order from the Motorola EU online store or did you buy it in person somewhere? I looked at the Mexico Motorola store today but it looks like they will only ship to Mexico. Need Google translator to confirm though.

I won it on ebay auction. Few shops from UK selling it too. Jaocagomez can help you to get one from Mexico.
I'm still in Europe (Budapest) on business trip and flying back to San Jose on February 6. Maybe you can order here and I can bring to you. Not sure is it good idea
Thanks, but I'd rather purchase it so it ships directly to me. No middle man hasels.
I did confirm Motorolas Mexico site will only ship to Mexico.
Hunting around I feel like the phone has not been released yet. I know its going to be released in India in February but from the news articals I read the phone was released in november, yet most webistes say preorder or coming soon. Did I miss something? Even some ebay listings reflect this. Unless you want to spend 900$+.

I ordered mine from Clove technologies in the UK
Thanks! I saw them before but didn't see an option to select US by just browsing the site. But I just tried checking out and there it was. They even have it listed for a very reasonable price.
A you wish. I wasn't sure should I offer you help or not, take responsibility, etc.
I saw one on swappa and another one on ebay, both USA sellers but prices was really bad. One from Ebay sold for $810!? Then I've checked sites from the link I posted and contacted them. If you're buying from USA then is without VAT but you're importing it in USA so you have to pay duty, tax and maybe stuck at border to get permission for importing uncertified device.
@BladeRunner could you share details how much you paid all together and did you have any problems at border. Would be really useful info for everyone.

I paid ~615 USD. It's been sitting at JFK International since the 21st, but I think that may be because of the Blizzard and a sunday rather than any issues with customs.

I want to buy from clove store , please confirm is true if I can buy from UK???? I live in NY thanks
Thanks for looking into this so much guys!
With my gears a turning the past couple of days I think im going to hold off though. Id really like to buy straight from motorola. That way if I have any issues I can just deal with them directly. That and I gain the ability to cusomize the phone if I order through them.
Im being optamistic I know but the phone was listed on Mexico's site on Monday and just noticed it was listed for Brazil today. So you never know.
This is definatly a good thread to keep alive incase others are interested like Makiger.
So I thought I would try and do an "over the phone" order to see if there was anything special they could do. Sadly this was unsuccessful. But the agent I spoke with did say something that may be intreeging to some. It honestly could mean nothign or it could mean real soon. Who knows?
Jessel: Oh, I do apologize for that. As of the moment, this Moto X Force is not yet available on our webiste. What I can suggest is to visit third party vendors and see if they already have Moto X Force available here in the US. We looking forward to this phone to be available soon.

I think that agent doesn't have a clue what he's talking He's just repeating generic phrase. Turbo 2 is exclusive for Verizon. Do you really think that Moto can offer basically the same device in US and brake exclusive contract with Verizon?
Don't get me wrong, I would like that Moto didn't even make Turbo 2, just Force globally.

you can buy from the UK, it just takes a while to get it.
A listing just popped up on India Amazon a little early for the rumored release date..
http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01A8DQSW2?tag=kostprice-21
PSA:
If you do buy from Clove Technology - or any overseas store - and you're paying with PayPal, make sure to change their default currency conversion to use your credit card's exchange rate instead.
Just priced the phone (Jan 29, 2016) as £431.83 shipped to me in the USA. According to XE.com, that's $613.78 USD with a conversion rate of 1 USD = 0.703554 GBP.
PayPal was giving me a rate @ 1 USD = 0.678425045 GBP, which would make the cost $636.52 USD, or an increase of $22.74, which is a full tank of gas for me.
Good Experience With Handtec
I got mine from Handtec UK (Sorry, can't post a link)
It arrived today in Louisiana from FedEx and it only took about 2 days to get here. No problems with customs or VAT whatsoever. All in all, it cost me around $625 (Used PayPal at Checkout), including shipping. Other than the UK wall plug it came with, I'm very satisfied so far.
