Hello everyone, I'm brand new to XDA, but heard so many things I finally decided to join.
After seeing the Hero's interface I decided I cannot wait until it's released. It'll probably be even longer until the NAM 3G version comes dragging along.
I want to buy a Rogers Magic in the meantime so I can use it on AT&T and flash the Hero Rom on it.
The only problem is I can't find one that I can actually buy and have shipped to the US from Canada.
Any ideas? Recommended sites or sellers?
Thanks
Only place I know of other than Rogers. But I never really looked, just bought it from Rogers.
Sorry that's not the Rogers branded, It was listed as Rogers a few weeks ago must have changed suppiers or something.

Thanks for the site, but that one isn't the US/Rogers 3G banded one with 288MB.
How do you buy it directly from Rogers if you live in the US?
I have what your looking for if interested?

Keep a sharp eye on ebay. I bought one of the first few Rogers' devices for $475 shipped, brand new.

To the OP, contact the guy that has posted above me. He has one he is selling since he is on T-Mobile US and needs the 1700 band.
1.Can i slide out the keyobard to answer phone calls?
2.http://www.expansys.com/dell-venue-pro-windows-phone-7-smartphone-qwerty-205052/ Can i order from here and use this phone in Canada?
3.Will the price become cheaper when it comes out?
can't answer your questions, sorry! However, thanks for FINALY finding it for sale somewhere!!!!
Placing my order right now!
edit: eeek! £60 cheaper at clove!Save some beer money!
Got my Venue Pro ordered a few days ago from Clove for £440 - excellent price and I didnt even realise the screen was AMOLED!
Awesome!
neither did I! Thanks for the heads up hehe
Like you, mines now ordered at Clove aswell
These Windows Phone 7 phones seem to be going quite cheap when bought on their own compared to other devices.
I wish it had 576mb RAM like most of the HTC devices.

Why? WE have no idea how ram is used or affected on Windows Phone 7. It meets the minimum requirement and as shown on youtube, it seems to be quite zippy!!!
Exactly Monty Burns
At £440 the Venue Pro is a bloody good price. Considering the size of the AMOLED screen at 4.1" and portait QWERTY. I have a HD2 but longed for a hardware keyboard - the Venue Pro is just what I need!

it does have 576mb of ram. in fact all wp7 phones released with 512mb of ram have 576mb but only HTC lists it. 64mb is on the graphics chip.

The Samsung Focus has the minimum 256mb. So double the minimum is good enough for me. I just wish all the phones looked as good as this one.

do you guys know if there is a front facing cam on the venue or any other wp7 device?
Good morning.
I have a good phone now, a Touch Pro2 and always loved smartphones with keyboard, and entering the world of Android, the best choice now for me would be the Desire Z/G2.
I'm searching for a place to buy online, who either ships overseas (as i live in Brasil) or to USA, and is reliable.
Anyone here can give me tips about stores ?

Hi, I'm in Sao Paulo with a G2 on TIM, I'll sell it to you for R$1300. PM me if interested.
Thanks, too costly. I'm searching in US, as i have people to send it to me and a friend who has a Import Business firm. For this price i can get a brand new at a Br auction site.

Why don't you just send one of your "people" to a tmobile store?
My cell service would be here in Brasil, which is GSM and 3G/2100 mhz. For what i've read, both the Z and the G2 operates in 3G at 2100 mhz, so both are ok.
Of course i would need a store who sells unlocked phones. At T-Mo they would not sell unlocked phones. Either i buy online and ships directly to me, or i order to ship to my friend's family in the US and they send me here...

G2
Should just buy a G2 and unlock it byself... i got mine for $340
The stores i though were Plemix, PopularElect, and Gsm Nation, and Ebay.
Any thoughts on them ?
Go for the DZ, the G2 needs 1700 and 2100 for 3G, not just 2100

Well I'm curious which site you're looking at since on Mercado Livre the cheapest I seen were R$1590.
If you already have people to send it to you just buy from ebay or craigslist, good luck with the shipping to here + taxes. You can buy one unlocked off Amazon for $500. My phone's already perm-rooted, S-OFF, sim unlocked, running gingerbread. Offer stands.
i saw last week for R$1349, and today for R$1319 too.
well, now i'm just trying to see which store is the best and reliable...
hey guys, i really wanna know whether desire z is available in US or not ?
It seems that only T-G2 is on sell..

So basically, still higher than my offer, and not guaranteed to work on TIM.
Thats cool though, I love my Vision.
I know that Telus (a Canadian carrier) might sell a Desire Z unlocked and it has the same bands as AT&T (might work on 2100Mhz but I'm not sure)
well, popularelect has the G2 for 479.99 usd, and for what i've seen, their reputation is good !
i thought the vision was able to be sim unlocked with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
So if that's the case, why not have someone pick up the T-Mobile G2 and unlock it? That way you can use the G2 on whatever network you have there without issue
the g2 at popularelect is unlocked !
I just recd mine from OnTheGoSolutions in the U.S.
Desire Z is rooted and shipped same day form these guys.
Second phone I have bought from them, very reliable.
I bought a Desire and now the Desire Z (not a G2)
Check out there Web Site, same as there name above.

You can unlock it, yes, but you can't change the radio bands (they are set in hardware). So an unlocked G2 can't use 3G on AT&T, for example. That's why people want to get hold of the NAM model Desire Z from Bell.

Good luck getting something by customs, taxes in Brazil will cost more than the phone itself.
Saw this on sale this morning:
http://1saleaday.com/wireless/
Even thought I'm an android user I've had a Zune HD for a while and love the Metro UI. This seems like a good price, should I go for it?
Well I got mine for £179.99 via the dell website as a swarm so it's really your choice. But I would wait for the lower price
why not get the 16bg version from dell for $299 (or $199 if you buy something over $700)
The sale you linked to is only the 8gb version. (which dell doesn't sell anymore)
http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-ven...&baynote_bnrank=2&baynote_irrank=0&redirect=1
It was on sale here in Germany for 200€ a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was on sale for 175€. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Maybe someone will port Android now.
I almost bought it but then I saw that its only the tmobile 3g bands

feh some one should port wp7 to the normal venue. I don't need to stink'n keyboard
The keyboard was the number one reason I got a DVP. Otherwise why not just get a Focus or HD7?

Me too. I use the hardware keyboard all the time, unless I'm just typing a word or two. Very good keyboard in my opinion.

3G works on either one or the other... you have to choose when ordering. There is no such thing as a DVP that has 3G on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
The T-Mo version is a better bet for world-wide use because it has not only 2100 but 900 support. The AT&T one has only 2100 for non-US use.
For the holidays I want to get my wife a GSM WP7 phone, but I don't think the HD2 is the right choice for her. Don't get me wrong, I love using my HD2 running WP7, but she isn't as tech savvy as I am.
For the price, I think the HTC Mozart might be the best bet. Newegg is currently selling them for $279 with free shipping. The LG Optimus 7 is the only other WP7 phone with a cheaper price tag, but they don't seem to be built as well as the Mozart. Before I bought my HD2 I purchased 2 LG Optimus 7's and had to return them because the hardware buttons were very flimsy.
Seems like the HTC Mozart is the best WP7 phone for my wife.
What do you guys think?
good choice go with it. or wait till the Nokia Lumia 601 comes out.

Thats probably a better idea, if time permits that is, be a shame to get a device thats effectively being replaced in a few weeks
If you want a simple WP7(stable, fast, smooth, etc...), do not choose HD2 ^^
I went ahead and ordered the mozart. I wasn't sure if it was a good buy, but now I see that Newegg is out of stock after I presumably ordered the last one. I guess I got a pretty good deal.
