Hd2 from ebay...

Hey I'm going to get an HD2 VERY soon, was just wondering if anyone purchased one from any sellers located in Hong Kong, and if everything was as expected? I Just don't wanna pay for a fake lol.

I suggest not purchasing from a user with low reps, even if they have 100% feedback. If it is something you consider, ive ordered my htc kaiser from hong kong. They used ups, and guess what? When i recieved the phone i got charged atleast 100 from customs, which wasnt needed.. also the box was beat up.

Hope you´ll enjoy the great feeling to get a brick in a box
I once ordered an Universal (anyone remembering it?) from HK a looong time ago. Actually, I go a badly damaged box, had trouble with german customs and the device was a bad chinese copy of something that was was definitely not an universal. How much are you gonna save compared to a purchase in whereever you live?

Sometimes, that is not an option. It wasn't in my case, because nobody in Panama actually sells the HD2, and I think I might be the only person to own one in the entire country.

I generally dont buy these kind of things from Ebay as ive been stung before (even though the loser got caught and is behind bars .
If you must stick to the power sellers, check their feedback,look for volume sellers who have sold many, use paypal for a little more peace of mind in theory etc. good luck.

If you are based in the UK there are plenty of sellers that have got them as afree upgrade. I bought one for £335 in a sealed box and unlocked it to Orange for £7.20.

Someone I know purchased an iPod from a strange ebayer, with good rep, it arrived, looked just like an iPod, but had some weird OS on it which WASNT iPod and very nasty. Just becareful when buying items like this on ebay.

OEM Batteries

I was thinking of purchasing additional batteries, seeing that the retail price of the batteries are very high I was wondering if OEM replacement on eBay (< $5) would do the job. What do you guys think?
Could a mod move this to the accessories forum...? I posted in the wrong one...

I dont think so. In the ebay auction that everyone one is raving about it clearly states that they are NOT original batteries. This guy says they are 100% OEM originals. Which is why i wanted it. I didn't want to have a tiawanese copy in my phone.

but that is what i'm saying
that battery shown in the picture is EXACTLY the same batteries included in that package that says "not original" batteries
i'm using them, they last as long as the "original" battery.
as far as i'm concerned they are all original, the packaging of the battery and markings confirms it's authentic G7 from Samsung, although these was obviously manufacture before for the older devices.

If the ebay seller says they are not original OEM batterys they are copies. Im not saying that copies cannot be a good thing but i would much rather buy a orignal battery for a few bucks more than to take a risk with a copy. Counterfitting is HUGE out of HK and who knows what kind of QC they have on thier products. The extra $10 is worth the peice of mind to me.

Clearly you have never seen the Sandisk SD cards which say "sandisk" and come in the same packaging. The battery markings mean NOTHING, and are easy to forge.. Generally though if an item is MUCH cheaper than the official RRP, it's either stolen, or fake. When I worked in sales at an Apple reseller, we used to get emails all the time from companies in HK which wanted to offer us hundreds of batteries and such for VERY cheap.
The fact he is selling so many, different brand batteries in bulk (all "genuine"), and so many third party accessories for me is a red flag. But the even bigger red flag, is that he is selling genuine Apple ones, and Apple don't even provide iPod batteries to 3rd party dealers.. You certainly can't ask Apple for some genuine Apple batteries (if you don't believe me, run down to your local Applecentre, and ask for a new battery for an iPod). At least here in Australia, they don't hand them out. Sorry, but everything I've seen in my experience suggests these are fakes.. I could be wrong though (but the fact he is giving them to you in bulk, means they cost him barely anything).

Whatever happens, I'm just going to buy that nice extra battery pack casing. Just to be sure. L

I bought a 100% original battery from a samsung dealer here in mumbai. He told me he had to source it from a service center as original accessories like these have not been launched "officially" by samsung.
Cost me 1200 indian rupees = $26
6 month warranty by Samsung. And the thing works just like a charm !!

it's a FAKE battery, the Genuine ones have a different markings specially where it says G7
i'm using those FAKE batteries, although they might be very good replicas of the old G7 batteries, they are not real
but performance wise, they work just as good as the OEM (originals) from Samsung
you will be better off buying this instead

same price for 2 + way more stuff
At least this guy is honest, and say clearly NOT REAL

there we go i made topic just for you guys

If you get SGS batteries on ebay, you are best off getting 3rd party batteries, rather than branded fakes.
Because branded fakes simply are designed to fool the buyer long enough into thinking they are real. This means good enough capacity, and good enough external build quality. They aren't designed for quality

X2 Housing Replacement

My X2 fell from the pouch case and as i result it endured some minor scratches in its housing. Now i can't get over seeing it and wanter to replace it. I went to SE service center here in our place (Pampanga, Philippines) but they told me they weren't allowed to open such device because of their level 2 accreditation.
They gave me and address and a contact number of the center which is allowed to do so. I first contacted the service center and asked for the price if ever i will purchase new housing and casings. I saw housings in the internet being sold prior to that.
But to my surprise, according to the technical representative that responded to my text, they don't have replacement housing for this device. And told me the ones i saw in the internet are not original and is not advisable to buy it. (though the seller from that site claims that its original)
Guys, are there any original housing in your respective country? Or if u happen to know any site which is selling it.
Please don't hesitate to post it here. Thank you so much.

When you say internet, you mean off eBay? If its coming from China, guaranteed its NOT OEM (Original). I've replaced a housing on an X1, and it did not fit, the quality of the housing was POOR. I guess it can include the X2.
But if you are super desperate, you could purchasing online, just make sure you know what pieces you are getting, and making sure you actually get all of them.
Honestly, I have not seen any X2 housings yet online for sale. Good luck.

tnx dude.
Nope, it's not from ebay. i forgot the website though. I'm still trying to locate it.
I'll post it here if i got lucky.

Same seller, german eBay.
I am curious too what kind of a challenge replacing the entire housing would be.
