Hi
I just sold my TyTN, and want to upgrade to a Trinity, its smaller, and has a GPS which I will need.
However, I have this "strange" urge to only get the White one. I live in Hungary, and there are no White ones available. Can I order one from somewhere? I will also visit Hong Kong this coming September, and also Mainland China, can I fetch one from there?
Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks
Ben
Well, the white is a good choice, also because it's not affected by the paint peeling syndrome.
Unlike the black one, the color doesn't seem to be past on the plastic but, to be the original color of the plastic itself. Therefore, after 3 months of use, there isn't even a scratch on it.
When I bought mine, beginning of june, I wanted a black one, but there wasn't any available where I live.
I took the white one and now I've heard about this paint problem, I feel lucky I did.
Don't know where in Asia or Hungary you can find a white one.
In France (and maybe in other European country where they are present) Orange is distributing only white phones.
I got mine from Orange but in south America, so it's not Orange M700 style, but just a plain HTC P3600 one, white.

Hi
Thanks a lot. That makes me feel I want the white one even more
Can I obtain one from some sort of an online auction, or other online means?
What is the difference between lets say the Orange M700 and plain HTC P3600?
Thanks a lot
Ben
Hi
I found many M700s on ebay. I will try to obtain one.
unlocking one is not so trivial, I guess.
Any other places I could get one from? Maybe Asia?
Thanks
Ben
Maybe at Dopod's

As you already found out, the M700 is SIM-locked on the Orange network, and has some customizations and settings for Orange network and services.
Yes, you can always use some paid services or some 'unnofficial' applications to SIM-unlock your M700. The latters are free, but more risky.

Yes, on the Trinity, the SIM-unlock process, according to users feed-backs doesn't seem to be a big deal. I don't know myself, since mine wasn't SIM-locked, despite I got it from Orange. Their policy in South-America is more flexible.
As far as Asia is concerned, I don't know which operator sells white trinities.
CHT (Taiwanese) seems to sell (only?) black ones. Maybe you can try Dopod 810 in Hong Kong, which is SIM-locked like the M700.
But at least, you'll get WM6 ROM already on it. As Dopod users are the only ones who got WM6 upgrade officially.

White Trinity

Hi
Thanks, wow, wish I had found it earlier, I just got a locked one from Ebay UK. Anyways, thanks a lot for the info, and perhaps I am better off from the UK then from the US for the simple fact that I dont pay any import taxes.
Great input all of you, really appreciate it. I am looking forward to the phone, and will be unlocking it at the very time I get it.
Cheers
Ben
I bought an Orange SPV M700 off Ebay the other day...Unlocked it and have spent ages trying to find a WM6 upgrade for it....Entered various sites but they will not accept S/N...This is driving me nuts....I even can't find out how to register the phone (not the sim)with Orange...Does all this mean I will have to wait for Orange to get it's act together?????

Hi,
I think you can just upgrade any WM6 you wish to use. You may need to unlock the CID as well, did you?
I will start my phone with Unlocking it all, and upgrade to Dopod WM6. I am a bit afraid of cooked ROMs, as I am a rookie at this still
Cheers

It was suppose to be a complete unlock as I had to load another program for the GPRS....Been in I.T. for a very long time but all these acronyms blow my mind....What's CID?
Let me know how you get on Ben.

Hi,
As I dont have the phone yet, I am only speaking from what I read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Trinity
And this is specific to the unlocking process:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SimUnlock
And then you choose a ROM from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
And upgrade. As to tell you what CID is, I am not sure, but more experienced people refer to a phone which is unlocked for new ROMs as SuperCID.
If I wanted to give my best shot at guessing, this is what I would presume:
There is a SIM lock, and a CID lock. The SIM lock is obvious, prohibits you from inserting a Foreign SIM card to your original provider, in this case Orange.
CID is a lock that only allows HTC or ORANGE signed ROMs to be uploaded to the phone. One you unlock CID, you can upload any Cooked, or other but official ROMs. Like I said, I will choose the Dopod ROM, which supposed to be Official, but I am not sure Orange locked phones will allow that at all.
I (we I think) would be very much grateful for someone who could explain this in detail, and correct my mistakes above, as I assume I have a few.
Cheers
Ben
just for the info...
actually around asia the white trinity/dopod D810/HTC P3600 is a limited edition. It cost a little bit more than the black 1. And it is introduced a few months later after the 1st launching of the black one. i am not sure whether they still have in on asia market. As i was told, it was only sold on the market just for a few months. and i agreed the white ones is better than the black. especially for the bottom part of the casing. the chrome grey color, will tend to peel off easily.
just an info for u ..

-------------------
The Xperia X1 is now available in most parts of the Middle East.
To my knowledge, I have only seen the silver one being sold. The Black one is expected to come within the coming weeks.
It is sold with the usual pacakaging. The memory card supplied is about 128MB and contains the Arabic software support. It also contains a pamphlet with instructions enable/disable the arabic language.The Physical Keyboard is strictly in English.
It is being sold for a price of 275 Kuwaiti Dinars= 3800 Saudi Arabian Riyals =3700 UAE Dirhams.
----------------------
My opinion, it's a beautiful device. Silver is marvelous. Ive waited so long to get it, I was a bit dissappointed that black wasnt available. I have opted to wait for the Black one. However, i imagine many will be content with silver. The device is much smaller than the pictures! It was shocking how much so. However, I will adopt patience and wait for the black one. X)
I Think prices dropped , i just got it for 2840 Dhs
the prices dropped for sure ,, i got it for 240 Kuwaiti Dinars
and it's black ;-D
i bought it two weeks ago for SR2780 black
hala bel 7abeeb
I bought mine about 3 weeks ago (silver) and i like it very much. Mind you i like the HTC customization on their phones a lot better than the X1 but you can always flash custom ROMs or install TF3d on it anyway.
Its an amazing looking phone.
Today, Vodafone Spain has announced they will be releasing the Magic in a few hours, no word on prices/contracts yet.
They have been teasing on their blog for some days now, and they now tease some more with a countdown to release ( http://tienda.vodafone.es/ofertas/htc_magic/ ), scheduled to hit 0 at 17:00, local time.
Let's hope they put a reasonable price tag on it, though it's definetly doubtful.
Cheers!
Edit: pricing is now available ( http://www.unandroideenvodafone.com/Notaprensa.pdf )
Any chance of finding an unlocked version of this in Spain any time soon?
Vodafone is not selling them without a contract, though I'm preety sure these fellas will find their way onto ebay in no time.

Someone said that Vodafone will issue unlock code if you request. I want to buy a G2. Where can I find it ?
Magic - purchased in Vodafone
Hi guys
Just to say that I have purchased in Tienda On-Line of Vodafone my Magic. I am really impressed, it is a great device.
I am still learning and starting to play, but it looks like it is going to be very funny.
BTW: they recommend strongly to contract the flat navigation tariff to avoid billshock, but it is only a recomendation...
We are getting more and more surprises from HTC!
Astel.be the biggest Belgium cell shop listed the Legend ''in stock'' today
http://www.astel.be/HTC-Legend-FR-de-stock-sur-la-boutique-Astel_3574
WHouaua
Many thanks for the info !
Have you ever purchased at Astel ? Is it secure ?
Thanks
I didn't buy from Astel, it's in Belgium and I am in Lebanon.
Here phones are available 2-3 weeks in black market after European release, so I think I will have to wait to end of the month
Available in the Netherlands: http://www.smartphoneshop.nl/product/90878/htc-legend.html
I wonder if it's available in Asia already because our imported black market phones are either from Veitnam,Hong Kong or Thailand
I see a HTC Legend yesterday from Astel.be
Reliable web store
i have one here atm, we got them in stock @ Mediamarkt in holland
Hi! Hope u can help me. I'm looking for HTC legend in Beirut and can't find one yet. What's the official black market in Beirut? How can I contact them? Many Thanks. Hani
