Nah they're real. Ran into a guy last night at a party who just came from a business trip in China, said he bought his there.
Well I suppose it is possible that you can buy something genuine from HK but China is awfully good at faking.

It's real. Cost $HKD 5300.
TBH I'm quite disappointing with it. Only no native MS Exchange activesync (touchdown cannot sync contacts/calender into android's and is going to expires after 30 days) is totally useless for me. I bought it all because of its big screen.
The adv said there will be 2.2 upgrade soon, the salesman said it will be Oct...not sure 2011 or this year.
The adv also said first log will come with AutoNavi, covered China, HKG, Macau but i got no cue where i can get it.
The Camera really sucks, so do the screen (compair with I9000), Only 2 G internal storage, no multi touch on google map....(I know it can be fixed)
I'm not dare to try the leaked 2.1 or I have no way back to stock Chinese ROM until i find out how to dump the stock rom out..
Multi touch only works with 2.1 and above and as far as I'm aware 2.2 should be available in October this year.
It's an android device, what do you want to install that 2gb is too small for??
My UK Streak came with an app called Touchdown for MS Exchange, if yours doesn't have it, download it.
The camera on mine is fine though I have yet to see a really good camera on 'any' mobile device and I'm not sure what you mean about the monitor?
Never heard of AutoNavi, UK and US Streaks come with navigation via google maps but you can install any number of 3rd party apps.
Specifications for the Streak are freely available on the internet, the features it comes with are no secret so I'm sure you didn't buy it blind.
i'm pretty happy that the streak has landed in HK, that means shenzen accesoires will come soon

I've been all up and down huaqiangbei but i haven't seen one. I used to sell phones on ebay and none of my contacts have them. I've only seen that used one and I'd rather buy it unlocked. If you happen to be in 深圳 and see one PM me please!
The Streak is so big it is almost the size of the Chinese girls heads!!!!
Yes! I found out today I can get one here in shenzhen for RMB4300. Has no memory card but those are pretty cheap here. It is unlocked. I'll probably pick it up on monday.

yes, it is new. I have found this the case with most mobiles here. If there is an SD Card included it is removed before the sale. It is a very convoluted system where often the phones come from one source and the boxes from another.
I'll post details (maybe pics) after I pick it up

Hey All,
Just an update to let you know that the HTC Advantage X7500 is in stock at Inkino Ltd at 243 Tottenham Court Road www.inkino.co.uk. They sold two whilst I was still there drooling. Also picked up a cool car mount by Herbert Richter. They also had the 4in1 Cable (VGA and TV out and USB host etc) and a spare battery. This truly is the most impressive stockist of HTC stuff that I have come across and the guys know their stuff. I won't mention prices as I cut a wicked deal with the elderly gentleman. I cannot guess how long stocks will last as I overheard Inkino staff mentioning that they have customers who paid up months ago and a lot are shipping abroad.
Hang loose!
^Please tell us about the build quality of HTC X7500?
tanX for your info
how much is the prise in these shops?
please say it in $
in that site i write it was 1100$ !!!!
The build quality is very good and feels like a nice pice of kit. The keyboard attaches by strong magnets and it also doubles up as a lid/screen protector. There is a clear area that lets you see the screen for status icons for connectivity and calls etc. Trying out osVGA a the moment. Nice. Although I would fully expect some incompatibilities. There is a gyrothingi feature in this unit meaning that when this is enabled you can scroll the web page, say, by tilting the unit. With practice this works quite well. Next test is to see how the navigation and phone performs and maybe try out the HSDPA connectivity. Will report back. I promised that I would go back to Inkino to give them feedback, although I have a feeling I will pick up tips from the Dutch sounding Russian there.
Hang Tough!
^nice to hear that I will be having my X7500 next week....
BTW in middle east it will be available with the price tag of $1,340.

it is very possible different country will have different price, and $1100 in UK is almost the cheapest you can get, you will be able to get it at $1400 too in some store.

I hope get it 1100$
Hello,
ebay has quite a few Ameo's for sale. I picked one up for £440... however, you need to have a T-Mobile contract, or be willing to sign-up for one, so it is a bit limiting. I pay £25/month, with WebnWalk, which I think is good value.
I paid 400 euros with a 2 year contract with web 'n walk for €35/month. I was already a customer with T-Mobile.
I must give a unit with free sim unlocket

How about the Copilot GPS navigator? Does it have maps for India?
Also, did you get any screen protector for the phone?

got it for 38500 in Mumbai . 1 day after launch... its awesome .. i am a iphone user and iphone is very boring after a while ..
the best part about this phone is the facebook integration .to ur contacts .. no other phone has such an awesome facebook interface/integration ...
my recommendation to u is go buy it without any hesitation and u wont look at any phone for 2 -3 yrs ... its unbelievable , battery life , camera , speed ... too good to be true ...watched a 3 hr movie and the battery still had 2 bars left
i was reluctant to spend 38000+ on any phone ... but this is worth it ... its just brilliant .. ive used the blackberry, e72, iphone .. but the possibilities in this are immense .. make sure u buy a boxed packed with warranty ..all indian htc's roms are 1.48 ...
did have the pink tint issue but the rom update resolved it slightly..

I suggest SatNav or MapMyIndia are the best GPS software out there for India, it covers practicallly every Road w/Road name and ALL the possible POI's.
Agree with khanvis2009 its a great phone overall. I purchased my N900 from New York and used it for a month - inevitably a revolutionary phone but the weak battery life disappointed me. After having switched to HD2, I'vent had a moment of disappointment since then.

It is a great phone. I have used two other models (Jasjam/Tytn, touch etc) in the past, but HD2 is very fast and extremely responsive so far. I am loving my HD2. I can now read ebooks and actually browse and surf comfortably.
It does have some glitches though. Once in a while I have noticed that touch screen stops responding and needs a hard reset. Hopefully the next ROM takes care of these issues.

thanks for the response.....i heard its exclusive on docomo......did you people buy from docomo....or from retailer?
Docomo is selling the HD2 exclusively for 7 days. Retailers will get the phone tomorrow. Just confirmed with a local retailer in Cochin. Going to get one...!

Will surely let you know. As per the agreement btw HTC and Docomo, the exclusive sale should end tomorrow. Also the guy from retail store was pretty sure that he would get the stock tomorrow.
By the way, are you from kerala?
i have booked...will be receving in another 2hrs.....curious to unpack it....
How did you book it? My retailer told that it would take another 2-3 days for the stock to arrive.

I played with the HD2 in DOCOMO store in Chennai and I must say I am impressed.
The phone is really fast and responsive and feels solid that the Touch HD that I have now. Battery cover in HD is very thin and always creaks when U try to increase volume or just hold it tight.
Albums , Music tabs all seem to work faster than my HD.
Had my wife along with me and she also said the phone feels and operates much smoother (She has an iphone ) so coming from iphone user that is good comment indeed.
Cost is 37,000 including VAT in DOCOMO but already there is a retailer in Chennai who is listing the phone for 36,000 inc VAT.
Google for - UNIVERCELL -
If only I can get a good price for my Touch HD I will without doubt be changing over to HD2.

i've also been waiting patiently.. so tempted to get either a N1 or desire... but i know I want a bigger screen having used HD2 till recently, don't think I could go back to anything less than 4"..
btw, when it's released in US will it be available at other places around the world? os is 14~15th the release date for US only?
I am hoping I could grab it for cheaper than what it is now from UK or something..

Great, that's fantastic news..
reckon it will be $500 USD around the world? UK prices are a little bit more than that at the moment..
doesn't dell streak support 850 as well as 900? so no need for two variations right? wonder why it's taking so long for them to release globally..
this is slightly off, but does anyone know if DELL have international warranty??? clearly I will be buying from US or europe but will be using in ASIA and Australia.. wonder if they have any policies regarding international warranty..

Expansys seem to have the DVP on sale. Their expected shipment is 1 working day and they now take Paypal payments, which they do only when they have stock.

In November I wanted to preorder and pay via Paypal and their rep told me the Paypal option wasn't for preoders and would only appear when they actually had stock. So maybe you can actually buy from them now... To be fair I was fed up and got the Omnia 7 but that could be of interest to some people.
Oh by the way, the last time I spoke to Dell UK they had no plans for selling the phone themselves.
Clove says mid-February
This phone's launch has really been a joke, they're launching it in the middle of MWC when it might get obsolete.
http://www.clove.co.uk/dell-venue-pro
I had emailed Clove only three days ago to ask when the phone was in stock and they said it was expected early this week. The situation is a complete farce.
Surprised you guys are still looking to get this phone considering all the issues and that you can get other devices in the UK that can be unlocked for any carrier.

clove said the 6th january and then changed it to week starting the 10th. the reason they do these dates is so you pre-order from them thinking you are going to get it earlier then if you do it with other sites but once you pre-order they tell you there is a delay and hope you dont cancel (clove had it on the 6th when every over site had the 11th).
exspansy tock my money from my debit card, i did not try the paypal option.
tomorrow is the 11th and play.com and exspansy should say in stock but bet they wont and then will delay it again.
as far as dell.co.uk selling it. i was under the assumtion that dell sells all there products from their website and would sell the DVP too like they have been selling the streak. i prefer to buy from play.com but they only listing the 8gb and i wont the 16gb model.
tomorrow i will see if any of them have it but at this rate i may have to look at getting another phone. with the mobile show in early feb there probably be a load of new handsets.
UPDATE: clove and exspansy have delayed it till mid feb. i guess i will have to see if any new handsets get released at the mobile show that takes my fancy, if not it will be arround mid feb by that point anyway.
i reckon they are waiting for the os update which will fix a lot of the current issues (crashes etc).

The O/S is rock stable ... either that or Samsung have worked miracles! My Omnia 7 has crashed twice since i purchased it and I got it on release day. (To be fair, the ONLY thing that has crashed on it has been the marketplace app)
Its far more likely that Dell have screwed up the firmware or chip/mobo integration somehow.
Either way, i'm now out of the market for one of these. Sadly, its the only 4"+ device with a keyboard.... who nows.... maybe Feb will cure my problem?
Clove has been told today there will be no stock until 'mid february at the earliest' for 'microsoft issue on mms settings'. Given every other manufacturer has phones in europe with working mms capability, I cannot see how only dell needs an one month worth wp7 fix. Assume they have multiple issues and don't have a clue about when they will be able to fix them all.
Now, I'm not sure who, between me still waiting for this phone and Dell, needs more urgently a reality check.

To be fair, once you start using one daily you just see it as a Windows Phone and forget a bit about the design. Sure the DVP has something special but unless you really need a keyboard you can do worse than the HD7 and Omnia 7.
What I will probably miss the most about the DVP is the Gorilla Glass but I'm more than happy with the Omnia 7.
goodbye dell
it has been a nice time waiting for u to fix those issues but i guess enough is enough
crawling back to htc via the 7 pro
I think Expansys and Clove literally just pull these release dates out of thin air (in the same way that Amazon and Play basically invent release dates for some videogames and dvds, etc., even when they haven't been announced yet). They're clearly not in any sort of serious contact with Dell if, only one day before the phones are due to go on sale, they 'find out' that their delivery isn't going to arrive.
I too am going to have to consider the HTC Pro 7 now, much as I don't want to buy another HTC phone. Sigh...

i have a feeling that the way dell has set up the dvp is slightly different than how overs have done and as they are very close to microsoft i this microsoft was fix some things that did not work with the way they made the handset.
i could be wrong but seems strange that the release has been put back to mid feb when the os update is to be released.
I'm stil waiting. Mabye its better to solve the problems. Or els the DVP is going to be a new iphone . But what about the OS update how as Microshoft annouced for april? New languages? Like dutch. We wil see

Hi All,
Im questioning this, but i thought i would share what i just chatted about with a local p4u shop.
short story: Was told it might be able to buy as early as the 1st of March.
long story:
I went in to ask if i could pre order to pick up from store (i knew i couldnt but i was hoping they would hold one
for me or something like that )
Guy said let me just check when there coming in, he mentioned he was getting a single unit delivered today
and i was free to come back and play with it. Obviously i said yes to this as only one ive played with has been in a big
metal shell. So im waiting on a phone call for that.
But he seemed to think i would be able to buy the phone from this Friday (1st march). He did mention that he wasnt 100% sure on this
and did say dont pre order it online as it takes 4 days to process it and you wont get it before, so it could be a ploy to get me to wait
til its in to buy it from them.
This is only a tiny local p4u shop so the fact its getting a unit delivered today would suggest that they have a fair few in. So mabye they
are giving a few out before hand to those special customers (i wish)
The fact they all knew what the HTC one is shocked me, ive been in phone stores when a new phone has just been released and they
dont even know what its called!
I dont want to say the local store name as they did ask me not to tell anyone i would get to play with one.
Any opinions/thoughts?
Personally I think they are getting Fridays mixed up, but a man can dream.
If i get hands on it i will try and get a few photos/video if they let me.

Hi All,
Im questioning this, but i thought i would share what i just chatted about with a local p4u shop.
short story: Was told it might be able to buy as early as the 1st of March.
long story:
I went in to ask if i could pre order to pick up from store (i knew i couldnt but i was hoping they would hold one
for me or something like that )
Guy said let me just check when there coming in, he mentioned he was getting a single unit delivered today
and i was free to come back and play with it. Obviously i said yes to this as only one ive played with has been in a big
metal shell. So im waiting on a phone call for that.

The ONE will be available March 5th in France, so it's possible

SFR (french mobile operator) announced it yesterday on their website dedicated to android.
You can take a loot at it : android[dot]sfr[dot]fr/htc-one-chez-sfr/ (french) (I can't write a link because i'm a new account :/ )
Very interesting if that is the case I will cancel my preorder and just get one in store instead in a week or so.
Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

P4U in the Bull Ring centre have had a unit to play with for a few days..........shops with demo units.
I've been trying to find other places to play with the One but no one else seems to have found anywhere.

yer i know i was one that told people. Problem is the one is in a big case that you cant move, i.e. you dont get a feel for the phone
the design and cant use either of the camera's.

IMO when they say 5th of march it only say available on the website from the 5th of march to pre order it and not to buy it.

I don't know, SFR has often some exclusiveness (nexus 4, purple XZ, etc.) so I think the ONE will be available on March 5th but only for SFR. I'll contact them on twitter, we'll see what are they gonna say.

I hope it's true. Don't forget the Xperia Z is launching on March 1st and pre-orders have been good so far so the sooner the ONE is out the better. Hopefully they don't have supplies issues with the ONE and I'm praying the 64GB version is out at the same time.

yer the 64gb would be nice but i really cant see it happening. (read somewhere htc said it was official it wasnt coming to the uk via twitter??)
I think they release it after 2 months to try keep sales going/when the s4 goes on sale.
But tbh 32gb will be enough for me, just hope most of it is usable!
So SFR answered me on twitter : " Hello, for the moment we don't have information different from those accessed from the page provided. It will be an open order though. " Raaaaa,

I think you're right. Larger capacity items almost always seem to come later. Mind you Expansys dot ca has it listed and is taking pre-orders so maybe at most 1 month wait?
Release date in Italy said to be on March 8th.

Re: HTC One early launch???
Spoke to HTC IN work and the UK launch was meant to be the 8th but has been put back to the 12th but was told that could be subject to change
