Hi,
Anyone has recommendation of places I can buy this device in Thailand?
(sidenote: I can linger a little bit more and buy it in UK - is it preferable?)
thanks!
The phone had been out awhile in Thailand and are widely avaliable in most mobile phone stores.
Safe bet is to try buying at MBK (Ma Boon Krong) center, considered a mobile phone shopping center in Thailand and there are hundreds of shops you can choose from, definitely can get one there so you wouldn't have wasted a trip.
Prices should be around 22k baht. If you pay a lot more than that then they are trying to rip you off.

I bought a Galaxy S in Thailand but it is a fake. Its running some crappy software and says mediatek when it boots and. It says GI-I9000 below the battery and has dual sim cards. Does anyone know if I can put Android on it or is it just garbage?
its fake for me
I dont know what you mean GunnyHighway82?
The box says android on the back and the screen size is 3 inches long.
Well if you do buy one I'd be interested to know what firmware it comes with.
My wife's Thai and I'm due an upgrade so if there's a Thai firmware out there I could get some brownie points

If it is fake, what does that mean as far as this phone is concerned? Will I be able to put android on it or is it impossible?

I just find out that x7510 will not not going to sell in my country (Malaysia).
This is indeed a very bad news as I really wanted to buy this unit.
Can anyone recommend any good & trusted online shop which sell this unit (preferably the one that offer the unit with good price) and willing to send to Malaysia & also accept Paypal or Google Checkout.
Now I am looking at expansys UK but it is good to get a few more alternative for comparision purpose.
Thanks
I live in Australia and I got it from the uk @ www.clove.co.uk/ . They are good, ive got lots of stuff from them.

Thanks, Their price seem to be slightly cheaper than expansys. But how about packing. Do you received the items in good order?
Mine came from www.onthegosolutions.com based in Illinois, USA. I don't know how the price will seem to you, but I have nothing but good words for the service.

Theres no tax for you also, so you can exclude vat
packing yea was good. Water proof sealed bag with bubble wrapped around the x7510 box.
I suggest you buy if from the uk if you live in Malaysia since the Americans like to mod their phones for them to work in their country plus don't you use 240 voltage?
i got mine straight off UK online retailers

Yes in Malaysia, we are using 240V. Another plus point is that UK & Malaysia is using the same electrical plug.

Would you mind share which UK retailer?
there are many, 2 of which are trust worthy
expansys,
and
devicewire
Here is a list of OFFICIAL HTC RETAILERS in the UK (select UK): http://www.htc.com/europe/where_to_buy.aspx
As you can see CLOVE Technology is in there (that's where I bought mine delivered to the US via DHL)
DEVICEWIRE is in there too.
Stay away from EXPANSYS and ONTHEGOSOLUTIONS. Why? Because they are OVER PRICED. Their service is just as good as any of the listed from above. Nothing different.
Thanks for all suggestion. Now I am more keen to get it from clove.

I bought from Inkino.
However, in the end I did not buy X7510 but instead choose to purchase used Dopod U1000 from local owner at very good price I think. Its only £275 but with almost new condition with remaining 4 month warranty from HTC. I could not see any scratch whatsoever The previous owner seem like not using it at all. It comes with 2GB memory card, VGA out cable & car holder as well. I am a very happy of to own this unit.
Hey people,
An uncle is coming down from US to India (my current country) and I plan to buy the Omnia 7.
Should I ask him to buy one for me...but again, will I have to unlock it???
Does it come carrier specific like the iPhone?
Do I have to "Unlock" it?
Or should I just ask him to get the phone and pop in my SIM card from India?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the Omnia 7 isn't sold in the US. They have the Focus instead.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, it's not sold in the US or Canada. But he can order one from ExpanSys (who gets them from Europe).
I picked a few up from Canada before I headed to Saudi Arabia. Work like a charm. Just gotta remember there's tax, warranty, customs, shipping. Not much profit made for reselling them Manuals also came in french, but that's not a big deal if you know how to use these things.

Hello...
As Peew971 said: Omnia 7 isn't sold in USA by default, and ExpanSys actually have a very high prices, I got mine from Australia, factory unlocked and shipped to Libya (cost me about 840$ at that time, with Screen Protector + Case + Shipping Insurance), I've checked the website now (becextech.com.au) and it is priced at 699 AUD$ (= 687 US$) without shipping costs.
I hope I've helped you...

Hey ahmadmr,
Thanx for your reply...I am not very confident of ordering a phone from somewhere else..especially from another country..there is a similar website here in India..I contacted them and they asked me to wait for a couple of days..so lets see, but thanx again..if it is available in the Middle East (Dubai) I can ask a friend to get it too...
t mobile germany is probably your best bet. ive seen a number of posts saying the phone is unlocked & i think its the 16Gb version too.

I have been hunting for an S4 9505, but there are so many fakes, clones, etc. What's the best online store for price that won't sell clones?
Thanks

I've even seen fakes on Amazon, so I'm a big apprehensive, and in my region, there are a ton of fakes being sold as well.

Are there no physical shops where you can see (if they`re the real thing) and buy phones somewhere near you?

Yeah, there are a few. I'll have to read up on how to spot a fake, because from what I've seen they aren't always easy to spot. I asked a ton of local dealers about the 9505, and most had never heard of it, and confused it with the Active or assumed I wanted the AT&T variant.
I always buy my phones on eBay. Never had a problem yet. S2, S3 32gb, S4 32 gb. You gotta know how to look for the right things.
I cant find a forum or subforum for the Samsung A9 or A9 Pro. Why is that??
Because xda don't create a forum for every single device that's is on the market.
It depends how popular the device is and how many requests it gets. Also it's fairly new.
There loads of devices out there without their own specific forum.
You need to put your request to admin. However it's unlikely as you're already in the A series forum. Most you could hope for is it added here.
it should in the near future.
The problem is, a lot of A series phone have been specifically made for the standalone markets (chinese, india, etc), and unfortunately the their communities seem to have their own places like xda in their native language, hence why no people are requesting much info around here.
But that should change....the A9 Pro international variant is about to be released, and i am favouring it above S7 Edge and upcoming Note 6/7 products, it's above average performance that can be tweaked by twiddling, and with that huge battery, it may be the first android device hitting 3 days of battery with stock parameters.
seriosuly, shouldn't take long.

Do you know when the A9 Pro international version will come out? I bet it'll cost $700.
If they price it in that eange, then one might as well just get the S7E or N6/N7. Anything above 500 is too much for such a class.

Very true. Its just that the A9 Pro has that huge 5000 mah battery thats very inticing.
I've just received an offer at 450 EUR, for pro version, in my country (black market ofc), and it just appeared, so the price can only go down..

It's Serbia, and the link won't matter too much to you, as it is in local language...
But, it's Chinese model for sure, as our black market is overwhelmed with models of that origin...

Hi anyone heard anything regarding demo to see in hand in london ?
just saw both S8 in 3 UK so they should be available everywhere.
funny they dont have yet G6
Seen the S8+ Black in both EE and O2 in the City. Nice phone and reminds me of my Note 7. Not in a huge rush since we got brushed off this time around. Pretty poor that we get nothing and the US get the VR....
Us uk lot are getting free warranty lite retail £99
Just received email today for it ?

Pretty useless if you already have cover elsewhere like I do with my contents insurance. Would much rather have the VR. I have never lost nor broken a phone...ever. It would be nice to have the option to choose at least. We pay more in the UK and get less, not the best sales tactic.
Edit- Thanks for the info though. Appreciated.
yeah I will want VR more but this year again USA will get free VR.
