HTC Touch HD in Austria??

Hy,
Did someone know´s when the HTC Touch HD comes in Austria, and @ which Provider i will get it?
thanks

The Touch HD can already be purchased in Austria for about 600€.
If it will ever be available at one of our providers is a question I can't answere.

yes, i know that it can be purchased @ geizhals or amazon.
But 600€ is to expansive, and thats why i want to know when it can be buyed at any austrian provider?!

I've been asking around. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone... in fact everybody in town. Nobody has even heard of Touch HD. Everytime I need to get them to look up at the web pages for info. They still think that the "upcoming" Touch Pro is the best one could get. Expansys Australia is a big joke. HD is showing the status of "to be announced" when everyone else overseas is already busy selling it.
Would be real nice if one of the Telcos could carry it, as not only that would give us the local warranty but also reduce the cost significantly.

Oops.. LOL .
The two words are so close, isn't it? Ha ha.

yes they are close, but when i´m in a foreign country and someone aks me, where i´am from and i will say, i´m from : Austria.
Then the other person will say, ahhh australia with the kangaroo. And this will "hurts" because the most people (also in europe) dont know anything about austria. And everytime when this happens, then i´ll thought about what did they have learned in geography in school.
And thats why i have written austria in big and fat and colored fonts.
But no problem
cheeers

Indeed.
Often when I'm using webpages where threre is a drop down box for country selection, I would accidentally select Austria instead of Australia.

Manufacturer

Hello guys!
I need to know what is the manufacturer of Elf0100 in China.
Thx for now!

HTC I believe. Why would it be anyone else?

I believe that all true HTC Devices are made in Taiwan - Those made in China are clones

How

According to official HTC website - Manufacturing facility is in Taiwan - Only mentioned Taiwan not China so no official HTC Devices are manufactured outside of Taiwan. All of thoes devices made in China or anywhere else are clones

Yeah, but buying from China is hit and miss. I'd rather pay extra and actually get what I ask for!

2 Leo models (T8383 vs T8585) ?

hello!
i am ready to order my hd2 (Greece is where i am located.)
So, after searching some greek eshops,i seem to find 2 different versions of the hd2 and i am confused.
There seems to exist a T8383 model and a T8585 one.What's this?Anyone knows?
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/94970/HTC-HD2.html

T8585 is the HD2 that I have.
The other could be the test phone, or a other branded phone (T-mobile etc.)

T8585 - HTC HD2 (not "Touch" any more, also known as Leo).
T8383 - WTF???
In theory it could be cut down version. But apart from Czech republic and Greece no one seems to have that sort of number. Could it be something like HTC made in Greece?

More
I am concerned.
I already own a touch diamond greek.The company that alters the software (translation etc) is ace hellas i know.This is not the case in this T8383 model.I was about to buy it but then i thought i would post here the question.It is 50 euros cheaper than the eshops selling the T8585 and also the T8585 is not expected here in nothing less than about 20days.So could this be a test model or something like you mentioned before?
Perhaps when it was know as Touch Pro Three?
Sould i avoid it you think and wait for the T8585 model?

how much does the hd2 costs in Greece? In cyprus is estimated 685 euros!! i think i will be buying mine from Germany in December...
btw both my Polaris and HD where also customized by ACE Hellas and they also seemed to be more expensive than in any of the other shops, I just fell for the salesman trick that only the ones customised by ACE Hellas are under HTC's warranty, which seems to be bull****!

sorry i missed your link on the first post... they are even more expensive in Greece!!! why dont you buy from abroad?

what about expansys??? http://www.expansys.com.gr/d.aspx?i=188868
its an english version of it

About 700 euros here and big stores like www.plaisio.gr say it will be available late november to december,and the T8383 model costs 650 and is already available. i will probably wait

i don't believe there would be 2 versions of the same phone, unless branded like vodafone or something.... or it could be that the seller did not read his notes very well... i mean 3 can easily be misunderstood to 5!

Maybe the T8383 model is the one with dots on the screen

No it's not a branded version,that's what i tried to explain before.I have to buy from a greek eshop because vodafone gr gives me some money i don't know the word in english,money discount for buying a new phone and shops like expansys.com or other do not cooperate on this with vodafone gr the said
i am beginning to think it's a first version of the phone probably,though it could be wrong spelled,a number "5" turned to "3".
Thanks anyway,i will wait and pay 50 euros more,i will give so much money,i have to be sure not to buy a beta phone version or anything

Nope, I've got a T8585, and it's got dots (Well, actually they're lines in a diagonal grid pattern with dots at the places where the lines cross).
But yeah, maybe the T8383 is one of the prototype (Those that said Pro.Three) or pre-retail (The ones without the pouch, MicroSD card, etc.) models, or just a random name for a model that doesn't differ at all.

legally they shouldnt sell you a beta phone and get away with it, so dont worry

*I believe* the difference is only down to the radio frequencies that 3G HSDPA data runs on.
One of them probably does 900/2100, the other maybe 850/2100.

i called the company today (one of the companies that sells the T8383 model).
They said that tha package was the full one,including an sdcard etc.
When i told them about the T8585 being the official one mentioned in the site,they replied that perhaps there is a type error.Could someone made this error and then 2 or 3 sites just copied it wrong?
The description in all these sites selling the T8383 is the same (copy-paste)
So should i just buy it?
I can hardly wait another one for the T8585 sites.
I wll also try to contact htc

how to find that number on the phone?

Linuxmaniac, unless you got a serial number from one of the T8383 models, don't bother contact HTC.
I already have, and they need a serial number in order to verify if the device is real or fake. they didn't answer the most important question - if there's a T8383, or not.

I contacted htc.They replied and said that there is only a T8585 model and i should only buy from original retail suppliers of htc in greece.
The site is not included in this list for Greece.
Also,the site after i called them changed now the model name to T8585 and put up the price 20 euros.
Still its 30 euros less than other shops in Greece and most important for me it is available.
So is this 30 euros just some sort of tariff for the buying from the "original" supplier?
Maybe this was all just a type error?
Some shops could lose clients easily afterall.
I think will order mine from this shop and then send the serial number to htc.
Do you agree?

Why not asking the shop to provide you a serial from one of their devices, before you're actually buying it?...

[Q] Made in china not taiwan?

Can you people check and see where your phone is made, i found a htc hd2 i want to buy but it says it is made in china. Will this affect the ablity to install android and wp7 on it? i ask this as it is normally made in taiwan

I just check 3 of my HD2's all are made in Taiwan, i guess it won't matter if it's made in china if all the specs are the same. give it a shot & let us know.

actually most HD2 are made in taiwan
so is no need to check. as i know there's no fabric of HD2 in china to see

there have been several instances of people buying cheap 'bargain' fakes from china. i'd be very wary, since you dont know if the hardware is identical, and theres a good chance flashing wont work, especially the hspl stuff, and then drivers in any particular rom may not be correct for the hardware even if it did flash.

have you seen the sticker on the inside of the phone?
BTW Taiwan is a republic of China

Both my t-mobile hd2's were made in China. Both of them I bought within USA and one of them came with the original box and it also says made in China on them so no, it does not affect the quality of the phone and it being "made in China" does not mean it is a fake.
Both of them work fine and were my dev phones..

Both of mine say China as well and one of them is a replacement phone shipped direct from HTC repair.
Also running Android without any problem.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

Not strictly correct, Taiwan IS the republic of China (ROC) not a republic of China or I should say was the ROC since they were brutally cut down and fled to Taiwan after WW2, however, most countries quite happily treat Taiwan as its own independent state, and if you look at the political and social situation on the island you can clearly see that they are doing very well for them selves, and are ranked very highly in terms of freedom of speech, health and education.
China is the Peoples republic of China (PRC) which is widely recognised as the legal ruling body of mainland china. The hypocrisy is that whilst we all think Taiwan is independent we cant say so formally otherwise the PRC has vowed to take the island by force and cut off all diplomatic relations with that country… its all very confusing!
back on topic... there was a case not long ago where someone had a HD2 clone made in china, but the devices them selves can be made anywhere now, so its not really a problem unless you have political reasons NOT to buy from china
