keep waiting and waiting, finally got it lastnight,
not too cheap, HK$6480, around US$830. v_v
even switching between the X-panel.
quite smooth compare with diamond w/rom shine on2.0,
the metal case cover finishing is better then photos.
bundle without any GPS software,
seem not stable with my Mapking,
crash few times with it.

Thanks!

1) not checked yet, will let you know later,
but the camera interface is quite good, cause it using the touch focus same with G900
2) honestly, it's faster than a fine tuned diamond
3) the volume is low but not really bad.

Let's hope by the time I goto HK, price will be down a bit.
3, I will watch for it! At the moment I use smartone.

Nice. Don't have 3 right now as I'm on NewWorld/1010. Hopefully they get it soon also.

Did you get any leather/silicon case to protect it? I am look for a case for it (preferable from capdase but hardly find anything for X1).
And I am also looking for Arm Station clearview screen protector but nothing is available for x1 as well....

The retail price is HK$5980 according to http://www.eprice.com.hk/mobile/news/?news_id=5962
HK$6480 is the pre-order price before X1 was released yesterday, as I saw it in some phone shops at MongKok area last week.

the SRP in HK is $5,980 only, not $6,480...

I forgot to ask, which version X1 Hong Kong getting? X1i?
Thanks.

Her u are
ROM: 1.02.931.3
Date: 08/29/08
Raido: 1.06.25.29
Protocol: 52.43.25.24U
for SE Customerization ID: 1215-1832 R15A

Thanks, but can you check:
Settings/Device Information/Identity/Model No.
Is it showing X1i?

Yup, Model No. X1i

I will be getting X1 with 3HK, HK$3980 with 18 months contract.
Unless other carriers (ie. Smartone, 1010) gets X1 soon and have better deal.

i've also got one from 3HK. but it is HK$4980 with 18 months contract...?

But, look at 3:13 at video and you will see this is not a final product.. Maybe hardware is final but rom is not...
In addition to, Unfortunately, there is not a case or screen protector in the box

You are welcome, also no software or user manual plus the box looks very generic for the HTC box for this kind of Hardcore device.
I totally agree with you,any way is the only unboxing till the moment.

That is not the final packaging, for sure. But, as said by wonsanim, it's the only one unboxing video.
Final packaging could have more accessories and a more pretty box.

I actually don't care much about the lookings of the box. It will just stand in shelf for at least 2 years =)
I just hope it doesn't feel cheap, as this is a high-end device. Right now it does, looks like BigMac box quality -_-
And what's with those really cheap looking earphones? Though it's not a multimedia device (and most people probaly use their own earphones), such a device deserves better ones.

Where have you seen cheap looking earphones?
Here are those, in photo:
http://www.solopalmari.com/news/windows-mobile/7556-htc-hd2-e-gli-auricolari

Yep, I was talking about those =) Didn't see them in a picture, just shortly in the unboxing video. Maybe "cheap" was the wrong term, but those do not look like they are good headphones. Especially when they are delivered with those "foam hats" (or whatever they're called), seen in Video at about 2:03. That's usually an indication for "standard" (or "not so good") headphones.
At least that's what I think. Maybe (and hopefully) I'm wrong =)

Rooting gives 'superuser' access to your phone. For example, right now, you can't access the system directory or root directory in the phone. Root gives you access to all the 'protected' files on your phone.

Methinks the OP is a troll.
Anyway, depending on where you live, you might be able to pick one up on Craigslist for virtually nothing. I paid $325 CDN for mine, and it is 99.9% brand new, is unlocked, comes with box, receipt, extra screen protector applied, and rubber case.
In my area, most of the sellers are asking $400 CDN for sealed models, but if you wait, you should be able to score one for $350. I actually bought one brand new for exactly $350 last week, then sold it because I hated Rachel at first. However, I was longing for the X10 again and lucked out the other day when I found another one on CL.
eBay prices seem to be 15% higher than CL.

400 is cheap. I wish i brought one instead of taking roger's plan. i had to pay 150 bucks and stuck on 3 years. But i will have to pay them eventually anyway.

Watch the language fellas. Also, please stop flaming the OP.

Tell me about it. In Vancouver, there are over a dozen of them for $400. I had the Liquid E, which is a very underrated phone, but for LESS than the Acer, I could get the X10, so it was a no-brainer. Sure, the Liquid has Eclair now, but we will get the last laugh when FroYo arrives.

Galaxy S discontinues in India

[WARNING] Galaxy S being phased out?
Hi,
I came across this article.
- http://www.cellpassion.com/2010/12/28/samsung-discontinues-galaxy-s/
Can somebody confirm this?
PS : Most of the major cities in India are out of stock & the retailers are telling No stock is coming from Samsung.

Galaxy S has been discontinued in INDIA, and this fact, i have been looking for one from past 2 weeks for my dev work, though i have allreday 2 phones with me...
here is one of the source... not sure its true or just a fake news... but no stock in BANGALORE

This is probably true. I went to a Croma today (at Mumbai), they were out of stock and they would not comment on when and if new stocks would arrive. They didn't actually say that it's been discontinued, however even the display piece has been removed.

I enquired at our local TheMobileStore & they said that production had stopped & no further stock was expected.

Why would it be phased out to make way for the Nexus S. I thought the nexus was Manufactured by Samsung for Google so they don't actually sell it it's google phone to sell. It could just be though that in India the market appears to be moving over to purchasing the Nexus so its pointless selling the Galaxy there?

i bought mine on dec 15th 2010 . Guess i am one of the last set of lucky owners
Bought in HYDERABAD
But ya in many stores it was not there finally found it in PCH mobiles

thank goodness! I bought a bit earlier (july).. else i wouldn't have come to know about the gorgeousness of super amoled and computing power of hummingbird + powervr

It will be 'obsolete' in 3-6 months once the dual-core phones hit the market. Hehe. I think LG is planning a launch anytime now, Samsung et al will certainly follow.

Their homepage currently does not link to the SGS2 page.

Yay!!! Awesome. But the draw is on 19 July are u sure they are releasing on 14?
If its under 600$, I am so getting one. However I don't wanna give more cuz its stupid to spend that much money for a phone.
