Hello All.
I have been a happy Hermes user for about 13 months now, I have recently upgraded so this little lot is now for sale..
One perfect working order HTC Hermes\Orange SPV M3100, the phone is running WM6.1 cooked by Dvha79_ddt. In original box with CD's etc etc.
One original leather case thing
One spare housing for the phone (w/o orange banding)
Housing removal\fitting kit
One 240v UK Power Charger
TWO Desktop charger cradles
10 Screen Protectors
One Bluetooth GPS Receiver
One 1GB SD Card
One USB cable
One spare battery
One Extended life battery with cover
The phone has had a screen protector on from day one, and it's been changed each time the protector got too scratched..
This phone has been well looked after so barely has any marks on it!!!
Let me know if you have any questions.

It's not just the housing, it's a fully functional phone AND a SPARE housing.
$100 works out about £60 GBP, I was really hoping to get more then that considering all the parts.. I paid £40 for the spare housing, £20 each for the desktop cradles......
Hello,
Im thinking about buying Universal, but i have some questions about it.
1.Where to buy it, i would like to get it in good shape/now, not some old cheese.
2.Has it any defects or easy brokening parts.? Warranty after buying via. internet is a pain.
3. I read somewere that there are some fake models avabile?
Is it real talk or some WomensInSaunaToldMe story?
Your best bet would either be eBay or the Marketplace. I think the latter is a better choice because you'll probably find it much cheaper with details.
Just looked, at the ebay.
I could get for 350$ from there.
Now i need some info abot the fake thing.
And one question more:
Is this mobile still sustainable (this may be wrong word ) or is there a hope for support in XDA nexr 2-3 years?
But yeah, Wallaby is much older
Do not hessitate on buying an Universal!
Is one of the best devices ever!!
Thanks to the Chefs and Devs here you´ll have Universal for a long time!
Have a look here to see another buy options

Haven't heard of this "fake" business you speak of but i'm pretty sure eBay is safe. I'm also sure you can get one for much cheaper than that.

Cheaper than the Ebay?
Where?I think 350usd for that kinda High-End device is pretty cheap.
All im worried about is, that maybe it doesn't fit into my pants pockets, because im only 12 and my pocket's arent very big.
edit: Orb3000 could you please fix the link. I like'd to read it.
Enter here and do a search with the word "Universal"
You´ll see many options:

Hi jaank.
On Ebay in the UK, Universals are selling for £100-£130. that is 1840-2390 Krooni (you live in Estonia, right?) You could probably get a better deal on this site in Marketplace.
If you are worried about the size for your pocket. A Uni is 130mm X 78mm X 23mm. Maximum. make up a cardboard one and try it out. that was what I did before I bought my Athena.
A Uni is pretty tough but so is school.(at least mine was) you need to be careful. You already have a Wizard so you know that. Best of luck. let us know how you get on.
Oh, cool answer
But, has Universal some weak spots?
Like the screen turning system or so?Im thinking about some other mobile, at the weekend.
Im in Middle schoool , so im pretty peaceful and im pretty peaceful at all, but im sportly active and so having second phone is pretty good idea I think.
And the point for buying Uni IS school.
Im a boy, so i sit at the back and our school has wifi.
And as you all know (I hope) is school pretty booring.
Thank you for the help, and sorry for my English.I started learning English in third grade and Im going to Six't grade so I'm not really experienced about english.
Thank you, and i love PayPal.
EDIT: Where did you see NEW uni for 2000eek. I talked to my parrents and it's have to be new
EDIT2:About future Is there some roms wiht the latest Manila as in the Touch Pro/Hd
SorryForDouble
Looking for the Cheapest NEW uni.
My old mobile battery is diening so needed fast.
Uni's can be bought cheap at the German eBay. Current prices are at about 100 Euro, I saw auctions finishing at 90 Euro. This is madness, for such a great device.
You need to search for "MDA PRO", as this is the name given by the German phone operator.
I actually own two of them, so that is a good sign on how much I like this phone!
Drawbacks: whilst driving, my phone holder does not allow the Universal to be placed such that the keyboard is accessible. This means, I can't type while driving (one shouldn't do that anyway). Also, Internet Explorer will render quite small fonts.
When I am driving, I do prefer the form factor of my VDA GPS (like a Motorola Q9).
Other than that, this phone is simply great.
No known issues.
You should consider:
- new battery
- screen protector
- proper car holder
Cheers,
vma
i got mine about a month ago. i got it off ebay germany, i paid 88eur for the universal g3, plus a 3200mah battery, a tomtom mkii sirf3 gps receiver and a docking station.
that was about the best 90eur i ever spent, although i didn't get a stylus, a case or a handsfree, which i thought, was standard accessories, the gps alone is priced at 75eur in germany
VMA:
- new battery- IDK, I'm scared about weight.
- screen protector- Shure
- proper car holder- Dont have a car so not needed.
If you buying MDA Pro than you can still flash it?
EDIT: Is MDA pro software in germany?
Hi,
With new battery I meant the fact that most MDA PRO's sold nowadays at eBay are over two years old, so you should not expect to much from the shipped battery. You certainly will need to purchase a new one soon to get a full day of heavy usage out of your device.
I agree that the extra capacity batteries increase the size and weight of the Universal beyond reasonable lilmits (for me at least), so I would stick with the normal sized batteries.
Basically I wanted to alert you that you should not spend *ALL* your money on the Universal - save some for an extra battery...
The German MDA PRO will in most cases come with a German falvour of WM5 and with a SIM lock.
You can, however, unlock the SIM by following the procedure of the Unlocker (search forum) and you can certainly flash a different ROM. I personally like Tomal's modified WM6.1 ROM's a lot.
The only remaining issues you will have with the German version of the Universal:
- MDA / T-Mobile logo on the inside, T-Mobile logo on the outside
- German keyboard: essentially you will have the "Y" and "Z" keys swapped - and no, you can't physically exchange the keys, because they have different size
I can live perfectly well with both issues and they don't affect the usability or the value of the device at all.
Cheers,
vma
Now it's about Ebay safety.
How to chose seller?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-O2-XD...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1205|293:1|294:50
What do you think about that?
Check on marketplace first!
I saw yesterday a great Uni selling from a trustable member
There is always a risk involved in any internet related purchase...
At eBay you should look for:
- sellers with more than a minimu of 5 feedbacks
- sellers with 100% rating - in case of 99.x% rating, check what was the cause of the negative feedback (sometime's it is not the sellers fault)
- check what other products the seller has been selling
- pictures of the real device, not just standard marketing images
- ask the seller a question and see how long it takes him to respond - avoid sellers who dont respond
- avoid sellers accepting Western Union or similar payment forms
- don't relay totally on PayPAL - it is not that secure
- check shipping costs
- check taxes - specially in case of imports from other economic areas
If nothing is strange so far, nothing fishy, then you can take the risk.
Regarding the Marketplace here at XDA-DEVELOPERS: I have never purchased anything, but would do so from respected members. Check how long they are registered and how many postings they have. No crook would be wasting time with hundreds of posts over years just to sell you a broken Universal...
However, in case things go wrong and if you bought something from someone on the other side of the world, there is nothing much you can do.
That is the price you pay, for getting the device with a discount of aproximatly 50%.
Cheers,
vma
OK - sellers with more than a minimu of 5 feedbacks

So look's pretty good.
I was just asking your opinion .What do you think about him.
Gonna order soon.
eBay has them for the T8585 and I've seen at least one seller claim that they won't be compatible with the American version. Any suggestions?
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-HD2-T85...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27b1b48dc9
Thanks ahead of time.
Don't know where you can get the US version but that is definitely the EU version. The easiest way to tell IMO is to look at the audio connection point, The EU has a cylindrical bulge as it is closer to the back edge. The US version lacks this bulge because they moved this connection point towards the front of the phone. GL on finding it. Post it here if you find a source as others may be looking.

You can take this one apart.
www.cnn.cn has them. Here is the link:
http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-housing-p-8762.html
The only problem is they are $88! They also have the digitizer/lcd's for a whopping $179.00
Dealt with them in the past for Kaiser stuff - out of Hong Kong but shipping was pretty fast and their products are real HTC OEM.
I'd rather just pay the extra 6 bucks a month for insurance...
wow thats insane. $90 for a stupid housing that probably costs $10 to produce. how much would you pay for that broken screen one? maybe $150? $200?
When I posted that link for the HD2 with the broken screen, it was $.99. I wouldn't pay more then $50.00 for it but I am notoriously cheap.
I found one that might be a T-Mobile US version. It doesn't have the butt looking thing sticking out on the back. For $18, it doesn't look too expensive either.

and this one includes a battery cover also

I need one for mine now :-s Can you guys help
Hi, I am reluctantly selling my Galaxy tab because I have to pay for my family holiday. It is is great condition apart from very slight scratch on top right of screen which cannot be seen when in operation and only in a certain light when off.
It is a great piece of kit which you well know, it comes with a 16gb micro sd card and a case which covers whole screen when closed, also acts as a stand to watch films etc. boxed in original box, with charger leads, etc. and a bluetooth earpiece with charger.
It is completely unlocked to any network and rooted , so you can put on any rom/kernel you like.
I will also provide receipt of purchase as I only bought it on 24/11/2010.
It will be reset to factory settings when sold, so will be as new to buyer.
Feel free to ask any questions. Preferably U.K only.
thanks.
Stu.
Looking for offers around £330 or o.n.o, please give me a shout on price!!
Will send special delivery next day too.
You might have better luck if you put this in the right section. There is a market thread under general.
Just fyi if you didnt know.
Thanks Dubie, Done that now
The only thing that is keeping me from selling this blackstone is the potential of an android rom and my parents might not let me sell it. I’m 16 and got it 2nd hand but it’s in a fairly good condition.
I’ve searched around and it looks like I can get around £90 for the phone, do any of you want to buy it or know anyone who does? Also I’ve flashed it to an energy rom so if I was to sell it would I have to change it back to original windows rom!
Wish htc built blackstone with android not windows!
This might not help you any, but last night I discovered that NewEgg.com is now offering credit if you trade in electronics. They listed my HD as $144 USD. Considering how much I shop from their site I'm highly tempted!
My poor HD has been sitting in a drawer talking with dust bunnies since I got a Captivate. Must be lonely in there.
