Does anyone know where you can buy the Shift for immediate delivery in the UK or do you have the details of any overseas supplier that is reliable. I have the money to purchase one but cannot find a supplier at the moment.
I got mine from chicago, they import from europe. Onthegosolutions i called them to verify stock, bought online, called again to verify i would recieve the next day and wala, it was in my hands. They were very helpful.

thanks rpawly - a few UK suppliers claim to be waiting on deliveries. If I dont secue one by next week I will contact that company in the US. Cheers
that actually would be funny,
i contacted a us company that imports from europe,
your in uk (from our view, i know not yours) your in europe and will contact usa store that imports from europe so you can export it back to europe.
crazy stuff
Yes its crazy, but as long as I get it, thats all that maters to me.
The wait is over
I managed to get one from super gps Just playing with my new device now. This is going to be so much fun!!

Has anyone already got a German Shift (QWERTZ keyboard) and if so how and where did you get it?
Amazon.de just mailed that "the item is very hard do get. Do you want to cancel your order?"

Hi Einsiedler,
I ordered with Amazon on 2nd December now the site says availability 9. April and in my account the date has been 8. April for weeks now.
I guess we have to wait a little longer. Today there was an offer on Ebay without specifications of the keyboard layout. I asked for it and a little bit later the offer was taken off by Ebay I guess.
And I got an email by Ebay in which they said that a doubtful email was sent to me by the the person I asked for the keyboard specifications.
We must swallow the truth that there ain't any Shifts around in Germany. Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid.

Und ich teile
same for me: No qwertz-Shift. Also no pictures yet. Mid April?
My Amazon order has NO date at moment.
By now HTC is well-known for its strange (i.e. non-existent) information policy. But their distributors seem to kid their clients in the same way. My amazon-order already has been postponed a few times after giving me fix dates for delivery. Today I got the same mail as EinSiedler telling me that at the moment they don't know nothing about a forthcoming delivery. At the same time however Amazon changed the availability status of the Shift from "bestellbar" (order now) to "lieferbar ab dem 9. April" (available 9th of april). What is the name of the game they're playing with us?
amazon.de will deliver mine on the 11th of April.
Maybe I order the normal English version and use tipp-ex on the keyboard.....
Received the same Email this morning - one day after postponing the delivery date to infinity. Quite chaotic.
But hopefully they are right - this time.
BTW: I assume it's the quertz-version. Anyway: Better we learn blind-typing instead of messing around with Tipp-ex.
Date shifting
Hi,
no, I don't think that it is Amazon. I guess it is the information policy of HTC, but it is another question how the distributors handle their cluelessness. Worst of all is Expansys. For months they have been giving out exact dates olny to put them back when the time arrives.
At the moment is says: Verfügbarkeit (availability): ca. 1 Tag. Just for the fun of it have a look what will happen today or tomorrow. What they do is downright disgusting.
I ordered the Shift with Amazon on 2nd December 2007. For weeks now the date in my account is 8th of April. On their site it is 9th of April, supposing that I am lucky I might get it on 11th of April.

Shifting availability
Hi,
from Amazon I just got this email:
Wir liefern vorbestellte Artikel so aus, dass Sie sie am
09.04.2008 in Empfang nehmen sollten. Wobei wir die übliche
Transportzeit hier miteinkalkulieren und Ihre Sendung entsprechend
rechtzeitig losschicken.
So, if lucky I'll get it on the 9th next month, but who can trust the month of April funniest of all the months starting with the first.
S.
For the Krauts here in the forum:
Shift qwertz ist available from Monday. Some dealers report they got a tracking number from DHL today, so Monday it should be in stock!
Hi,
I live in Australia and noticed on expansys AU that the Shift is on there twice, one as HTC Shift http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=157607 and the other as HTC Shift X9500 http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=165677
All of the specs seem the same except the X9500 has a 40GB hard drive instead of a 30GB and the X9500 is heaps cheaper........
The other thing is Hong Kong sells the X9500 $650 cheaper than the Australian HTC Shift but the language is (Traditional Chinese), what does this mean...... is the operating system chinese only or is the keyboard and everything Chinese??
Does anyone know what is going on here???
Thanks

First link is not good, remove the "and" from the link and it's working again
As I can see only the HD is different yes.
I think the Chinese version has another keyboard layout. Maybe also the WM is Chinese and maybe also Vista, but can't tell you this..

Sorry I fixed the first link it had "and" stuck at the end of the address.....
OK, I have found the X9500 in English so the Chinese is no problem now, The HTC Shift in Australia is$2194.95AU and the HTC Shift X9500 in Hong kong with 10GB more is $1511.13AU Thats $683.00 AU difference....... Thats a massive difference for the same device and if you pay less, you get a bigger harddrive...... Something is really strange here.
For that massive saving I am willing to send it back to Hong Kong for Warranty if something goes wrong.
Hey,
My family are planning to fly to Greek, and it will be much cheaper for me to buy it there then buying it in Israel.
There is a popular store there, like Clove or something?
Thanks
You mean Greece
'Germanos' are the first electronics chain that brought them, AFAIK.
Now Vodafone stores have them too, for about 550 euros.
There is a number of greek internet shops that stock them too, but I don't know if any can be considered 'popular'.
The phone was only very recently released in Greece, so the choices are limited. Most Greeks that have it, have ordered it from abroad.
I found a store on skroutz, which listed it for 490, just a week before the greek introduction by cosmote. It doesn't have greek as a keyboard option though, while the OS can be changed to greek. For me this wasn't an issue, but you should be carefull where you buy yours from, if you re looking for T9 and a greek keyboard, .
On the other hand I dunno if the one Cosmote or Vodafone offer, lists greek as input option either.
I don't need a Greece keyboard. I'll flash it and then install hebrew fonts and hebrew keyboards.
550-500 euro is very very high! look at clove price
Is the tab available in germany yet?

Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Thanks man.
Hopefully I will be able to find one in stores..
One more question:
If I buy it in Germany, how easy is it to change the language to Norwegian or English??

Not from what I've seen. The Tabs being sold at Media Mart and Saturn can't
change their languages. At least not via the simple settings/menu. Trust me I've
tried on many devices at different stores. Its whats holding me back from buying
one.
Just bought it yesterday in a vodafone store. Unbranded.
There's an apparently called more locales or sommit. But it does seem strange that you can't change language without it.
Have you bought an EU version of the Galaxy Note either from Amazon.de or one of the UK retailers selling them, like Handtec?
Are the manuals, box and documentation etc in English, or are they in German etc?
I got from eBay, the guy shipped from Germany so it's most likely the German version(Especially since the default language was set to German). The box was in English and the quick start guide came in English and German.
I'm awaiting delivery from amazon.de but I have already downloaded and browsed the user manual....

I already downloaded/read the english manual though, from the german samsung website.

If you bought your phone from amazon.de web site, was it intended for german market or is amazon re selling units for other world market? There was an issue with guys purchasing Samsung Galaxy 2 from amazon.com where they find out that their unit was meant for Chilean or Vietnamese market. I am going to purchase from amazon.de and want it to be with german firmware version.
Can you please check? Thank you

Initially on bootup it is in German. At the wizard press the bottom right button. Select English. Then that's it its an English OS.
Some issues with the market. Its suggestion German ones to me like amazon app and google translate. Fix will be easy.
The instructions are EU and first language is English. Also note it comes with an EU plug.
Also some of the pre-defined browser shortcuts are for .de websites - notably Samsung. Again no problem.
A similar "localisation" occurs wherever you buy it from.
