..but, am uncertain about the "validity" of this online shop.
Anyone have experience with this merchent?
http://www.cellgsmphones.com/conten...omnia_7_16gb_unlocked_gsm_phone_preorder.html
there is no 16 giga version for the omnia7
Thats wrong. There is such a version - for example in Germany.
If this site got the 16GB Version is a different matter tough.
These shops have the 16GB Versions http://geizhals.at/eu/a582829.html
watch out for the German T-Mobile Branded Omnia 7. It's not released right now, we have to wait 2-3 weeks.
Not 2-3 weeks. I just got an email that the place where I bought it will send it to me on Friday.
Most sites on the Internet says 16th or 18th though.
Where did you buy it, the most shops i asked about the 16GB version said 2-3 weeks.
I bought it with a contract on an ebay store.
I guess thats not what you are looking for.
But on amazon.de there are for example a few shops with a delivery on 18th.
If you search on google you will see the other stores with 16th (I have doubts that they really get it delivered by then, but thats what they say)
Anyone found one outside of Germany? Also, are the German ones unlocked and usable abroad?
Starting to get tired of waiting for the Dell Venue Pro.
A t-mobile phone is a t-mobile phone as far as i know. You can buy it from the link i posted earlier this morning sim free from deutsche telekom *aka t-mobile*
***posted this earlier****
It's with deutsche telekom you can get the 16gb version.
Found the link.

ohne vertrag - without contract = 609.95€
"Someone Phone them this morning on 0800 33 55222 *german phone code 49* and see where they'll send it, i'm guessing anywhere if you pay for it"
T-Mobile US and UK are not compatible so I need to be sure there's no issue between Germany and UK as that would be a waste of my money .

I travel europe and get no issues apart from roaming charges , i am in live chat with them now, it's worth a laugh later, my bad german 5 min, then he asks "do i speak english...fu**ing classic*
What I meant was... If it's locked to T-Mobile DE, would it be ok with T-Mobile UK.
On a side note I wasn't expecting such a high price, maybe 100€ less...

Yeah maybe compared to the 8GB but the PAYG HD7 is only £380 and also 16GB, even if you pay to unlock it you won't go above £400 .
I might have to wait for the Dell Venue Pro afterall and upgrade the SD card.

But ya don't get the fastest, brightest unit atm lol, it's personal taste, i love HTC, i have shares in them lol the better they do, the richer i get
I've had a HTC from the MDA pro, TyTnII, Touch Pro 2, HD2, and now the Samsung, Why... put two next to each other When HTC front the cash and jump Samsung again with a new model back i go
I've got the German Omnia and it is definitely not locked to T-Mobile, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it with o2
The phone has no hardware branding but software branding with some uninstallable software and a customized search within IE (instead of Bing you get a Google based Telekom search). The biggest problem so far is that the MMS settings are locked to T-Mobile and are not customizable, so I can't sent or receive MMS (for me, it's no big deal, but for some it is...).
Furthermore, you can get the phone from other stores as well: Geizhals (local price search) has an overview of several shops that have the phone and are also cheaper than T-Mobile. The shop with the lowest price (handyattacke.de) also mentions that it might be possible to ship to other countries, but you have to ask them ("Lieferung in weitere Länder auf Anfrage."). Might be worth a try

LOL! Thats pretty funny... No offense, but let me guess, your german was coming from google translate or something like that? At least you´ve tried it!
Was today in a T-Mobile Shop in Germany and was asking the guy there about the Omnia 7. He confirmed me that all the T-Mobile branded Omnia 7 which are sold in Germany have 16GB memory and are not locked... That means you just have to find a Online Shop in Germany who send it to Europe to get a 16GB one. The only things you have to accept are the mms problem, startscreen from T-mobile for 2 seconds and the T-mobile Search. But Im sure with the time somebody here solve that problems...

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then
I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.

Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...
I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.
>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!
Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.
I ordered a Touch HD a couple of days ago at Amazon.de without any delivery date.
Yesterday, they confirmed an early/mid December 2008 delivery date, too late for me.
So I cancelled the order yesterday.
Today, just out of curiousity, I looked up the Touch HD again on Amazon.de and to my surprise, a german company in Munich selling through Amazon.de had the Touch HD in stock but at that time only 4 units remaining.
I ordered one immediately and I hope to get it around Friday.
When I returned back to Amazon around one hour after my order, the dealer had only ONE unit left, so it seems these babies move fast.
Just wanted to let you know that the Touch HD seems to be shipping all around Europe, shouldn't take long until it will be available everywhere(I assume starting with next week or so).
Ah, thanks a lot! I'm interested in getting it at o2, so I think I'll have to wait till the next week or even the week commencing.. But it'll come for sure this month, thats already great news, because its not such a fiasco as with the X1. Can't wait for the HD... Greez, cad^^
Nice, but this must be the WWE version. Let us know when you get it.

and when ich switch to camera mode, there is an area of around 2-4 dead pixels which are always white. they are not dead, as it only happens in the camera mode. i think there is a sensor problem. mhmm strange

Good news: The German (not Austrian version of the HD is shipped in Germany this week. So by next week all major retailers and online retailers should have stock. For the price conscious that might be able to wait just a little bit longer, keep in mind that the o2 branded version lists at only 570 euros w/o contract, 299 with Genion L contract.
Today I received an email from o2 Germany and it seems Touch HD will be released in calender week 47 which would be 17.11. earliest. Just to let you know. No pricing information yet.

But as far as i heard, even the free HD they are selling is branded. meaning you can use it with every sim, but the software has got O2 specific branding. Like O2 Homescreen and more. It may not bne possible to get the normal Touchflow screen without overwriting the rom and thus, losing warranty
Yes, just what I wrote and you quote, "the o2 branded version lists...w/o contract" - I meant SIM-free. And judging from my experience with the o2 Trion (Tytn I), if ever one has a warranty issue just put the o2 WinMobile version back on - as long as you dont hard-spl and super-cid it. I dont mind branding anyway, as long as there is no button tying me to the providers internet offerings. And as Touchflow is concerned, it would surprise me if HTC would allow branding to not include it for the sake of a homescreen.
Where is you information from about o2 branding?
as far as I know o2 is not doing any branding on this device.

Does someone know where i could buy a unlocked Omnia 7 without contract in europe? I searched and didn't find a single shop that had some on stock.
It's listed with a provisional price on Clove but with no release date I am afraid.
You can buy it PAYG on three (£445 I think) and then pay £15 to unlock, so £460 sim free from 3.
I don't see the Omnia 7 when i select PAYG on the three uk online shop. May this option is only if u buy it directly from a three store? And where i can get the phone unlocked for £15, direct from three?
I found a locked Omnia 7 on eBay but not shure if there is a trusted unlock online service.
Not sure about online, but certainly in store they had is as PAYG as well as contract. And the guy in store said you just call 3 themselves and they will give you the code for about £15.

So there not operating the same 12 month no unlock policy as O2 are then?
Does it leave the device with much three branding?
I bought my Omnis on t mobile and have had it unlocked and am now using it on Vodafone as this is my preferred network as they have much better 3g coverage in my area. Aside from a t-mobile marking on the battery cover there is no branding on the phone at all.
Go to geizhals.at most of the online stores update the availability daily, there u can get it as soon as it's available
I'm also looking to get one soon!
I'm also looking at geizhals.at every day, and it drives me crazy
Any updates on this?
I bought mine BNIB (locked to Orange UK) from eBay for £310, then unlocked for $20. Bargain

The Swiss site, www.digitec.ch have an unlocked Omnia 7 for 585.- CHF. I used this site/store many times while I live in Switzerland and it is very good value.
They offer free delivery, but it is only to Switzerland I'm afriad (I see you are in Austria - nextdoor!). You can buy online and collect it from their stores (closest to Austria would be Zurich or Winterthur).
Play.com have it unlocked for £479.99

They might even deliver to Austria.
I know there is another company delivering to Austria; a1 something .. they also have a website called www.getgoods.de but it is only the 8gb version (also unbranded) They did pretend to offer the 16gb version but they realised that stock was low.
I rang three and got them to bill me for one. They insisted I had a contract and pay monthly for it but I got them to sell me one full price with no contract £445 ish.

A friend of mine keeps visiting Germany, Frankfurt...can I ask her to get it...I live in India...what about the unlocking procedure then?? SHould I get it unlocked there itself or should I get it unlocked here in India?? Also, I am not looking forward to spend A LOT..like £445 is toooo much for me...(MORE than my salary )
So..around £300 - 350 is fair i think??
Thanx!
All omnia 7 phones in germany are from t-mobile and therefore unlocked. The only branding they have is a splashscreen and t-mobile search in the ie.
You can flash a new rom though and it will be completely unbranded.
I dont know the exact prices right now but it should cost around 520-590€.
Hope that helps...
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.

Oh ok...Germany..yea...makes sense...Will surely try now...a couple of friends keep going there...
I noticed that on Expansys they have knocked the price of the Omnia 7 down to £349.99 and I was wondering if these are UK specific handsets or EU ones & if they are EU ones what effect if any would there would be in getting updates compared to the UK handset?

Expansys ships from all over EU, so they're generic EU (even in UK, afaik). UK handsets are branded by carriers, so more chances to get updates delayed if you buy a UK Omnia7. If you're considering buying one, try Germany, as there you can find the 16 GB model (not sure if on Expansys though).

Thanks for that. I know that ones that on the UK website are the 8GB model. But from what you're saying it might be worth a look on there German site just to see.

There are a couple of sellers on eBay Germany that you can check out, who supply 16gb versions and are cheaper than Expansys. Mine is 16gb, new, unlocked and unbranded, and arrived in about 3 days. I was given the tracking details so I was able to track my parcel across Europe. The mains adapter came with a 2-pin plug so you'll need to supply your own. When I first turned the phone on I was given an option to switch to English.
The best thing was that when I connected the phone up to Zune it immediately told me that there was an update available (the pre-update). The update was smooth and painless. As the device is unbranded future updates should be available straightaway as they don't need to be "approved" by a carrier first.
I have to confess the one thing I have avoided buying through eBay is expensive electronic items, but I will certainly look into following what you have said.

No need to buy from eBay, if you have bad experiences (I had a couple in hundreds of good purchases).
The price for Omnia 7 16GB on Amazon.de is 299E + cca 7E shipping.
Note: apparently this is still a seller, on Amazon, yesterday there were ones on sale from Amazon, I guess they run out

But Amazon.de don't ship to the UK (at least for that particular item), as I've just tried it. The eBay seller I used also has a shop that you can buy directly from: http://www.es-mobilfunk.de. The price is 289 Euros plus shipping. I went through eBay as I was able to benefit from Paypal buyer protection if needed.

Thanks for those links.
I have to say I hadn't noticed price drops in the WP 7 handsets over here, just the Omnia 7.
I don't think the price-drops are as extreme as they're suggesting. I only noticed price drops for the Omnia 7, mainly because I wanted to buy one at the time. Its a good time to buy if you're interested in WP7
Had a look on those sites and I wish I read/spoke German as it would make things a lot easier!

I don't speak German either so I used Google Chrome to browse the links for the German sites (it will translate whole pages on the fly for you). I think Firefox will also work if you have the Google Translate add-in installed.

Excellent and thanks for that suggestion.
Sorry for the double post but I must be going blind as I cannot locate that ES-Mobilfunk on eBay?

Thanks. Now I wonder why that didn't come up when I did a worldwide search on there for the 16GB model.
