A friend of mine is in Germany (Munich) for a limited time and he was going to buy a Desire HD for me but he said he could not find the phone anywhere in stock. Anyone knows where we can we find the phone in stock, it may be an online shopping site too. He will be leaving on 21 so we have very limited time
If you're able to understand german: Pocket PC thread about the availability of the DHD in Germany
TalkThisWay provides a branded Vodafone DHD: Click me hard
Otherwise it's pretty short on the DHDs in Germany

As told in this Article/review the HD will be sold exclusively by O2 in Germany
http://www.xonio.com/artikel/HTC-Touch-HD-Business-Handy-Praxis-Test_32944215.html
Seems HTC is not only trying to copy Apple in the looks with this device.
All in all the review was very positive... excellent remarks on the improvements of the Touch 3D department...Only shortcommings where the extra costs of GPS software (which i think is positive as now people can decide on which software to buy themselves) and the msiing flash and low resolution video...

Does this mean that HTC itself will not sell the HD in Germany as an unbranded device? There are quite a few shops in Germany accepting pre orders for a German version of the Touch HD ... This seems to be a different approach than Apple Eifön or Google's G1.

That site says UK and Orange will not have an exclusive deal....Nothing about Germany and O2 in that article...

Ok here is how it works:
Exclusive does not mean, that a carrier like O2 is the only one who is allowed to sell this device. It only means, that he will be the only one (at least for a given time) who is allowed to offer this as a branded device in combination with a contract or other offering.
So if you are searching for a new contract and want to get an HD with it, O2 will be the only one where you can get it in combination with a contract for a relative cheap price.
But ofcourse, you can buy an unbranded device everywhere and use it with every carrier you like. The same way as every other unbranded phone is sold.
Hope that helps,

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.

i bought mine at the beginning of this month at mobilecity.at (an official HTC partner)
Today, Vodafone Spain has announced they will be releasing the Magic in a few hours, no word on prices/contracts yet.
They have been teasing on their blog for some days now, and they now tease some more with a countdown to release ( http://tienda.vodafone.es/ofertas/htc_magic/ ), scheduled to hit 0 at 17:00, local time.
Let's hope they put a reasonable price tag on it, though it's definetly doubtful.
Cheers!
Edit: pricing is now available ( http://www.unandroideenvodafone.com/Notaprensa.pdf )
Any chance of finding an unlocked version of this in Spain any time soon?
Vodafone is not selling them without a contract, though I'm preety sure these fellas will find their way onto ebay in no time.

Someone said that Vodafone will issue unlock code if you request. I want to buy a G2. Where can I find it ?
Magic - purchased in Vodafone
Hi guys
Just to say that I have purchased in Tienda On-Line of Vodafone my Magic. I am really impressed, it is a great device.
I am still learning and starting to play, but it looks like it is going to be very funny.
BTW: they recommend strongly to contract the flat navigation tariff to avoid billshock, but it is only a recomendation...
It looks like some users in the Forum already got the HD mini. Does anyone know which (online) shop already have the WWE version in Stock? The only shop I found is "brack.ch" but they only deliver within Switzerland (i live in Germany).
The HD mini didn´t got too much positiv feedback so far but for me there is no alternative, since I need a software that is only available for WM6.x and Iphone. And since I want a capacitive screen and the HD2 is too big for my taste, and I already been frustrated enough by Apple products, the HD mini seems to be the only option.

expansys has the english version on stock.
thanks rigo007! I´ll check it out...
Expansys offers them for 400 euro.......other shops in Holland from 350 euro...
yeah... expansis seems do be quite expensive (hence the name?). Furthermore the phone doesn´t seem to be in stock anymore.
@Frank, do you know any onlineshop in the netherlands that has the HD mini in stock and ship to other countries?
Thx for the feedback guys!
Clove certainly stock them and ship overseas.

Hello Nivi78, they seem to be on stock with several suppliers, though these are Dutch versions......
There are shops which have the English version for 355 euro but only ships in Holland.
If you want can order and re-route the phone to you.....
Thanks a lot for your offer Frank Caarls! That´s really kind of you. But I think it´ll just be easier to order from clove.co.uk.
Ok, good luck with your purchase..
Let us know if you like the device..
Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.
Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.
importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!
I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK
I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?
