Do they deliver to the UK?
This will be my first windows mobile device after moving from iphone to android.
How easy is this to debrand and sim unlock and jailbreak?

They deliver anywhere as I understand it, at least to all of the EU.
The phone comes unbranded and unlocked. And being an LG there's really no need
to jailbreak it, just change a registry entry and you are set.

It's cheaper now!!
It's down to GBP184.99 now at Expansys.

Expansys usually do a 12-hour deal on a monday called 'Monday Madness'. I got an email about this particular one.
Definitely 'ends' at midnight UK time.
has anyone got one of these expansys "handset only"
are they brand new and fully boxed/sealed with everything incl. or just repaired units (if they had lots returned due to faulty bluetooth ) ?
I ordered one today its brand new and at £185 it's too good not to buy.

Its brand new, sealed and unbranded.
Got one yesterday as the stock levels started to fall from 100+ to around 50. Considered £214 to be good value, but £184 delivered was a bonus. If I don't like it, I'm sure I won't lose much, and might even make something. Some other online stores still have it at £369.
Could the price drop be linked to today's Mango announcement? Probably, but still a decent smart phone with the anticipated bump in feature spec around the corner is a good time to buy. Let's hope it's not like the Viewty all over again.
Got mine today, came very quickly but that was about as good as it gets.
Phone does not want to boot up. It either hangs on the LG boot screen or refuses to power up at all.
When i plug it into a pc it recognises the lg modem but the driver fails to install!
Try to contact Expansys but so far no replies to emails and with the phone number provided no-one answers!
Anybody else had this problem?
Sealed and new. It's a South Korean model shipped with a replacement (uk) charger.

Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?
Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?
When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.
Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD
Gift Pack:
- Bluetooth Headset
- Screen Protector
- GPS Software with Hong Kong & China map

Please be aware of all these cheap HTC Advantage, they are all FAKE!!!!!
It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.
Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

I just find out that x7510 will not not going to sell in my country (Malaysia).
This is indeed a very bad news as I really wanted to buy this unit.
Can anyone recommend any good & trusted online shop which sell this unit (preferably the one that offer the unit with good price) and willing to send to Malaysia & also accept Paypal or Google Checkout.
Now I am looking at expansys UK but it is good to get a few more alternative for comparision purpose.
Thanks

Theres no tax for you also, so you can exclude vat
packing yea was good. Water proof sealed bag with bubble wrapped around the x7510 box.
I suggest you buy if from the uk if you live in Malaysia since the Americans like to mod their phones for them to work in their country plus don't you use 240 voltage?

Here is a list of OFFICIAL HTC RETAILERS in the UK (select UK): http://www.htc.com/europe/where_to_buy.aspx
As you can see CLOVE Technology is in there (that's where I bought mine delivered to the US via DHL)
DEVICEWIRE is in there too.
Stay away from EXPANSYS and ONTHEGOSOLUTIONS. Why? Because they are OVER PRICED. Their service is just as good as any of the listed from above. Nothing different.
Thanks for all suggestion. Now I am more keen to get it from clove.

I bought from Inkino.
However, in the end I did not buy X7510 but instead choose to purchase used Dopod U1000 from local owner at very good price I think. Its only £275 but with almost new condition with remaining 4 month warranty from HTC. I could not see any scratch whatsoever The previous owner seem like not using it at all. It comes with 2GB memory card, VGA out cable & car holder as well. I am a very happy of to own this unit.

Is your set branded? If not, perhaps you can check if the bootloader can be unlocked by connecting to the Android SDK's Fastboot tool.
And does it come with a pre-applied screen protector (like the X10)?

No it's not branded - I will try in the next hour to connect to Fastboot.
It does come with a pre-applied screen protector and has a spare in the box as well.

From what Gum Mobile told me, they had them in stock for a few days but SE said the release date was the 30th March, so they couldn't send until then.

Probably, it looks like its the same price shipped worldwide. Hop on to amazon.de & search for it, I bought mine from the seller "Price Guard" & if you use google chrome it will auto translate the page from german for you.
Im expecting mines to be delivered today, so I'll post back when it arrives.
here I can find it at 199e if you switch to vodafone. Nice phone
I think we could use a topic like similar ones.
How many people has it? Did you encounter any problems with your One and where did you buy it?
Darkhan total i brought 50 items none had complaint all had little line on gap very little 3 had headphone broken but they send it to Teleservice so all happy.
Mine were first batches but now i have bought another 5 from UK they seems much better build quality but i dont know which batch they sell at Turkcell
I bought from Turkcell, mine is perfect. They let me check the phone before I buy it.
I bought one on tuesday, but there were errors on microphone.
People couldnt hear me very well, sound was low and nor clear all the time.
I gave it back and waiting for a new unit.
This is my third phone this month,
I was using htc one x for a year, begining of this month I bought xperia z but i didnt like it and changed it to ONE.
I was missing my one x while using the Z, but one is really great
