What difference writing the FCC ID will do?

ordered mine from handtec saturday....hope it's worth it. CORTEZ!!! where you at buddy, finally dropped the cash for the phone......now i just need to save up for a T-mobile plan lol. Anyone else from the U.S. order from HANDTEC successfully?

if the FCC ID in not written the usa customs will not relase the device untill you provide them the FCC ID
which will take more time

Just got my confirmation shipped email from GOOGLE checkout. I couldn't email or fax HANDTEC copies of my bill, for proof that it is actually me that ordered but found another means of showing proof it was me. Hopefully by the end of the week, i will FINALLY have the BLACKSTONE in my hands.....now i just need to find someone who will buy my TOUCH PRO (shameless plug for trying to sell my week and a half old TOUCH PRO with the snap-on case...anyone interested PM me lol)

Thanks for all the good info guys!

Samsung Omnia 7 from USA to India?

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.

Anywyas what about Dubai? The main Proper City???Even on the website, nothing clearly is mentioned...when where etc??
But thanx! And do let me know about Dubai...

Hello...
As Peew971 said: Omnia 7 isn't sold in USA by default, and ExpanSys actually have a very high prices, I got mine from Australia, factory unlocked and shipped to Libya (cost me about 840$ at that time, with Screen Protector + Case + Shipping Insurance), I've checked the website now (becextech.com.au) and it is priced at 699 AUD$ (= 687 US$) without shipping costs.
I hope I've helped you...

Hey ahmadmr,
Thanx for your reply...I am not very confident of ordering a phone from somewhere else..especially from another country..there is a similar website here in India..I contacted them and they asked me to wait for a couple of days..so lets see, but thanx again..if it is available in the Middle East (Dubai) I can ask a friend to get it too...

t mobile germany is probably your best bet. ive seen a number of posts saying the phone is unlocked & i think its the 16Gb version too.

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.

Do you know if it's branded/unbranded? All it says on the website is sim-free.

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.

Release date for Australia?

hi guys,
does anyone have any ideas when the note will be released in Australia? can't wait to upgrade my Streak for it. always loved Samsung phones for their Amoled screens.
if they're not in Australia any soon, might look for one on eBay
thanks guys

If you're planning to buy it off-contract anyway, MobiCity are selling them already.

Note will be released in AU early next year.
EBay is pretty expensive now. Why not try expansys which had the lowest price now for €455 plus delivery (about AU$ 750). It's really good time to buy while AU dollar is high.

hi,
just wondering where you got the 455 Euro from on the website?
because they are all around € 619,99 on the site
thanks

We don't pay VAT, dude. You can remove that from the price.

i see.....lol...
If I buy it from a European Country other than UK....will it have English Language on it and will it work properly in Australia? What about also the abilities for system updates?
Thanks again....

If you buy a EU version, then you will still have the ability to select English as your language on the initial setup screen. Android support multiple languages.
You also can apply updates as all EU zone use the same thing.

Hi mate, it's from a German site which doesn't ship to Australia (I tried). The current cheapest one I find is expansys.com which is 480 ponds including postage (AUD730 based on last night exchange rate. AUD is worth less today after the interest cut).

I pre-ordered from them on 12th Oct which price is 4 ponds less than the current one. But, my order still hasn't been processed yet. I called them yesterday and they told me should be post yesterday but they didn't.
For the EU verion ordered from expansys, you can remove the UK convertor from your order detail screen which save you 0.99 ponds. And choose DHL instead FedEx for delivery.
