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

Legend availability!

Ok This topic is to list all countries where the Legend is already available or if somebody knows any ''programmed'' launch dates in other ones.
Also Why in the Asians and ME HTC websites the Legend is not listed at all?
Would this mean it will be late or not sold there??
Europe:
Netherlands: Available
Belgium: Available
UK and rest of Europe: 22-24 March
Asia:
Do you know any dates or price??
Middle East:
Do you know any dates or price??

From experience, I've learned to not be concerned when an upcoming device is not listed on my region's HTC site.
No word about availability here in Hong Kong. But if it's anything like the release of the Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, they'll list the device on the site 2 days before it's available for sale at retail stores. This happened about a month after it's available over in Europe.
Btw, if you still feel bad that new devices aren't listed on your region's site yet, you should check out the products section of the Korean region of HTC's site. That's a sad selection there...

Poor Korea
The Hero is not listed in HTC ME website while it's available since October
So if I understand logically the Legend will not be available in Asian countries before ending April knowing it will be in Europe ending March
If only the Lebanese customs don't take 20% TAX on DHL and UPS I would have buy it from Belgium online

Legend is Available in Czech Republic.

The Legend is available in France now via expansys.fr

Norway today

I'm not sure how, but expansys.ie is saying that Legend is in stock:

I've checked in the morning and they had 100, now they have 39.
This is very strange, as Legend is available in UK on 29th of March

I know what SW and UK stand for but what about SG?

its been bothering me that i dont know what sg means. thanks!

at a guess... sony generic??

i was thinking its singapore?

SG is Singapore.

yes that would make sense... i got my phone on ebay and its from malayasia. so we need to wait for the singapore firmware to come online..

wow what the heck, i have a singapore version eventhough im in america? it would make more sense if i had the UK version.

depends where it came from originally. whoever you got it from might of imported it. a lot of tech stuff comes from malayasia first. it was out there months before the UK. its why i got mine from ebay.. i would of thought theres a lot of singapore X2s out there.

out there first but the update still hasnt reached them, great
i want a usable x2 =p

good point! maybe we moan more in the UK than in malayasia lol. i suspect its just some localisation differences and the update went up on friday so hopefully theyll finish off the rest on monday...

3.2 Update in Australia?

Hey guys
I have a SGT 10.1 (3G) model, which was bought through Mobicity in Australia. Now i KNOW they source their stock from overseas, but i just spotted yesterday that the HC 3.2 update was available for download?
Now am i getting that pushed because i'm in Australia? Or is it being pushed to the device because it was bought in a specific country thats getting it? (e.g The UK have been receiving it)?
Am just curious, so i can get an idea of when future PUSH updates might be coming to mine.

Updates are being pushed according to origin of the ROM that is on your device.
If you put a given UK carrier rom, you will get this UK carrier updates, and so on.

Well all i've done is root it, not put any custom ROM's on yet....
So how can i tell the origin of the stock ROM on it?

Well if you bought it from a regular carrier and not something like Ebay, you most likely have an Australian version! (no idea what Mobicity is but every carrier have its own ROMs)
What is your current ROM version anyway?
As long as you are on stock ROM, any update will have to go through your carrier for approval and such. So look on their site / ask them for info.

Mobicity is an importer who deals in phones, tablets and accessories. I got my tab through them before Apple sued Samsung to stop selling them locally (nd then I loaded leaked roms)

If you got it from MobiCity like my self I believe you got an Asian ROM
They source the tablet from Hong Kong
So most likely you didn't get an Australian specific ROM

I agree that you won't have an Australian rom on the tablet but just because you get it from Mobicity means that it's from Asia. They seem to source the products from Europe, Asia and USA (depending on avaiability). My Galaxy S 2 came from Europe somewhere, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 came from America I believe and a HTC Desire S I bought for someone came from Asia.

Got my tab from Vodafone. Its going to be 6 months before it'll get 3.2. why not flash? im sure I'll get ics way before if you're willing to wait.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah i figured Mobicity would be buying from Asia. So can i tell which ROM i'm on from the Build Number? Mine says (with 3.2 installed) HTJ85B P7500XWKL1
Thanks

P7500XWKL1:
XW: Poland ROM, with support for deutch, english, spanish, french, italian, and 2 more languages I dont know about (de,en,es,fr,it,pt,tr)
KL1: Built 1st week (1) of December (L) 2011 (K)

I just got my Tab tonight, so forgive me if I'm not posting this right as I've just downloaded the update and its installing, so I can't see my exact screens. All I did was go to the settings menu and check for updates. I had to sign up for a Samsung account first, but then it went right through. It said it was updating to 3.2. And just an observation, but it looks like it may take a bit of time. Mine has been updating for over 5 minutes now and its only at 39%.
Edit: I'm on a Wifi only Tab BTW...

Aha! Cool, thanks for that, good to know.

weird update politics from samsung...

So after a quick look at sammobile.com I'm really confused.
In the past 4-5 month there have been several releases of firmwares for our note 10.1 2014 p600:
-3 firmwares for Trinidad and Tobago
-3 releases for Chile
-2 for Hong Kong, Peru, Taiwan, Uruguay
-1 for Mexico and 1 for Spain.
I really don't get it why Samsung is fine tuning the os for those countries while there haven't been a KitKat release in others. Yes I know it's no problem to install a firmware from another country or a custom Rom based on KitKat (that's what I'm using since half a year) but I just don't get it. Did they sell a lot more tablets in those countries? Are they "testing" it there? Do they just roll a dice? Where is the logic behind this, it makes absolutely no sense to me.
I'm really happy with my tablet and it's running great with xKat custom Rom but this is really bugging me and the tablet isn't even on the market for a full year!
Any insight is appreciated.

Simple answer ... Samsung have flooded the market like crazy, they have released about 20+ tablets alone since our Note 2014 was released and now they simply can't keep up.
It is a really great device but Samsung are loosing the plot a little.
No offence to anyone from Trinidad and Tobago but seriously!! Yet still no KitKat in UK apart from the chocolate bars.

Germany here. Seems like it's getting closer. Today I saw a Switzerland release on Sammobile. I think it's the first 4.4 release for Switzerland which fills me with hope, that Germany is not abandoned as well.
I really hate Samsung for letting me wait this long. On the other hand there is not much choice if a stylus is what you need. I'm also going to buy a Note 4 in a view weeks and I already know that I'll hate Samsung even more after I'll have it.

Haha why torture yourself with Samsung again but yeah your right ... when it comes to a stylus tablet or phone cant compete with Samsung at the minute.
My hope is that by the time I upgrade (maybe in 2-3 years time) there will be another Stylus tablet out.
