I have been looking for a customized htc magic in black. I know i could get one from rogers on ebay, but it comes preloded with some rogers applications. Orange Switzerland seems to be selling one that is totally unbranded. Does anyone know where i can find one online.
Edit: I already checked ebay and they didn't have any.
Bought mine in Mobilezone (Zürich): unbranded Black HTC. They bundle it with any existing contract of yours. However, if you buy a Rogers via eBay you can flash it to whatever you like... so why worry? Maybe I didn't get the point.

Frank
Thanks for the website, but i don' quite understand what you mean by:

They sell the devices and add the contract. If you subsrcibed to orange and are eligible (from orange) for a new device within your contract, you will get a discount on the branded device.
I have a black boxed (new/unused) vodafone htc magic for sale. Bought from Germany. Also considering selling mine (also black) to get the samsung i7500 so maybe also a used one for sale! PM me if interested

Both unbranded, the first one the Orange Version. But look out. The lady at the callcenter told me that they're selling both 288MB and 192MB versions.
And yes, it is, totally unbranded. Just HTC Stuff on it.
@Isilmalith
i looked at the site, and it is exactly what i am looking for. However, it is a tad too expensive. i was looking for one at about 450 CHF.
Do you know where i can find this phone locked but without a contract?
I have means of unlocking it myself.
Digitec is the cheapest source for a Phone without contract, there is no way to get a HTC Magic for 450.-, unless you find some at ebay or www.ricardo.ch (which is much more popular in switzerland).
Are you from switzerland?
no i am not in switzerland, in the US and it is not on ebay
I am in the same boat. I want a Magic that can be rooted and work in the US on TMOBILE. If anyone has one for sale or know where I can find one, let me know.
If anyone who has a vodafone desire HD in the UK, can they confirm is the phone is supplied unlocked or locked ? Could they also tell us where it was purchased from. Many thanks!

I don't want to hijack your post but ditto on the T-Mobile phones, any information on if their phones are locked or unlocked.
If you buy from carrier retail shop they are normally locked, but if you buy from a third party they come unlocked most of the time. Just ask who ever your buying from.

My friend got his from Vodafone unlocked. The guy at Vodafone said that due to the short supply they were just getting them unlocked from the manufacturer and sending them straight out to customers. This was about 2-3 weeks ago so the situation could have changed.
I received my replacement from Vodafone last Friday, its completely unbounded and unlocked

I got my DHD directly from Vodafone - it is unbranded and unlocked - per my own experience with Vodafone - over the last 2 years or so I got the following phones from Vodafone:
- Touch pro2 - branded but Unlocked
- Windows 7 Trophy - unbranded and unlocked
- Desire HD (DHD) - unbranded and unlocked
so far all phones have been received direct from Vodafone and all have been unlocked - so I think I can make this healthy assumption that HTC phones are pretty much unlocked from Vodafone.
Hope this helps.
Can confirm mobiles.co.uk was unlocked
Got mine from Vodafone online 1 month ago, unbranded and unlocked

Luving this site which I've just stumbled on and answered my question straight away, so here's some info that I've been told from two different T-Mobile UK staff.
Phone is SIM locked but the firmware hasn't been touched (this site has confirmed this too)
The phone will have some kind of T-Mobile logo branding but that's it. I can't wait for my new DHD to turn up now, no stock with T-Mobile and may not be for 3 weeks or more ...... nevermind hay I'll just have to wait.
Good morning.
I have a good phone now, a Touch Pro2 and always loved smartphones with keyboard, and entering the world of Android, the best choice now for me would be the Desire Z/G2.
I'm searching for a place to buy online, who either ships overseas (as i live in Brasil) or to USA, and is reliable.
Anyone here can give me tips about stores ?

Hi, I'm in Sao Paulo with a G2 on TIM, I'll sell it to you for R$1300. PM me if interested.
Thanks, too costly. I'm searching in US, as i have people to send it to me and a friend who has a Import Business firm. For this price i can get a brand new at a Br auction site.

Why don't you just send one of your "people" to a tmobile store?
My cell service would be here in Brasil, which is GSM and 3G/2100 mhz. For what i've read, both the Z and the G2 operates in 3G at 2100 mhz, so both are ok.
Of course i would need a store who sells unlocked phones. At T-Mo they would not sell unlocked phones. Either i buy online and ships directly to me, or i order to ship to my friend's family in the US and they send me here...

G2
Should just buy a G2 and unlock it byself... i got mine for $340
The stores i though were Plemix, PopularElect, and Gsm Nation, and Ebay.
Any thoughts on them ?
Go for the DZ, the G2 needs 1700 and 2100 for 3G, not just 2100

Well I'm curious which site you're looking at since on Mercado Livre the cheapest I seen were R$1590.
If you already have people to send it to you just buy from ebay or craigslist, good luck with the shipping to here + taxes. You can buy one unlocked off Amazon for $500. My phone's already perm-rooted, S-OFF, sim unlocked, running gingerbread. Offer stands.
i saw last week for R$1349, and today for R$1319 too.
well, now i'm just trying to see which store is the best and reliable...
hey guys, i really wanna know whether desire z is available in US or not ?
It seems that only T-G2 is on sell..

So basically, still higher than my offer, and not guaranteed to work on TIM.
Thats cool though, I love my Vision.
I know that Telus (a Canadian carrier) might sell a Desire Z unlocked and it has the same bands as AT&T (might work on 2100Mhz but I'm not sure)
well, popularelect has the G2 for 479.99 usd, and for what i've seen, their reputation is good !
i thought the vision was able to be sim unlocked with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
So if that's the case, why not have someone pick up the T-Mobile G2 and unlock it? That way you can use the G2 on whatever network you have there without issue
the g2 at popularelect is unlocked !
I just recd mine from OnTheGoSolutions in the U.S.
Desire Z is rooted and shipped same day form these guys.
Second phone I have bought from them, very reliable.
I bought a Desire and now the Desire Z (not a G2)
Check out there Web Site, same as there name above.

You can unlock it, yes, but you can't change the radio bands (they are set in hardware). So an unlocked G2 can't use 3G on AT&T, for example. That's why people want to get hold of the NAM model Desire Z from Bell.

Good luck getting something by customs, taxes in Brazil will cost more than the phone itself.
Hi all.
Im curious how much is cost Xperia Z in swedish (I got brother there) so if it is cheaper then here i could maybe buy from sweden.
Also keep in mind phone should be "CARRIER FREE" and "SIM UNLOCKED"..
Thank you guys for all your help.

Try to look at Pricerunner.se and xperia z
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
The official Sony price for unlocked/sim free Xperia Z in Sweden is 6 395,00 kr.
So i'd expect it to be ~6000 in other stores - probably won't get much cheaper than that.
I see that you live in Croatia so it's 6,395.00 SEK = 5,774.75 HRK
ok thank you guys...

It is cheaper in Slovenia. buying from Simobil carrier, but still carrier free option for only 660 EUR
Cena telefona Sony Xperia Z brez vezave: 660 €

Price for Sonz Xperia Z without contract is 660 EUR!
That means, if you guys live near Slovenian border, you can go and buy it here .
4600 SEK is the cheapest right now, but if it's important to you to have an nordicbased firmware or/and unlockable bootloader, I wouldn't buy from a company offering such a low price. Most common price from more wellknown retailers with both physical stores and webshops, such as NetOnNet and Elgiganten seems to be in the area around 5730 to 5800 SEK.

Yea i hate sony for updates, and taking a Xperia Z is somehow scary now, but Xperia Z is nice phone.
I would maybe wait for a while to see how sony treat Xperia Z and will they release Xperia Z+, ZS or something else as they are known to release soon same phone with better specs.

Hi all,
I live in Erbil_Iraq and they have a new offer for Sony Xperia Z they sell it for $379 so I need to know how could I know if it's refurbished or there is something I need to check before I buy it?? because I love Xperia Z series.
We'll buy from directly sony official store , sony xperia z released on 28th February 2013 and so it's gonna be almost full in end of February , there are two models one is normal and other is lte , if you have internet connection of 4g I think you should buy lte version , I'm also using xperia z and it's c6603
Hope this helps , and as for refurbishment check you tube videos that might help cus I have not seen any refurbished xperia z yet

Thank you man my concern is that i have Xperia ZL and it died and they don't have spare parts in the Sony repair center could u imagine that , I did like it soooooo much until it died in my pocket :crying:
but you now let me think about the warranty when u said it will be full in the end of February!!! maybe they will not have 1 year warranty if I buy it now?? is that possible?? maybe they will give me 3 months warranty
may be refurbished
