I have a friend comming over from Canada, and I would love for her to bring a seido Active, and a Gumdrop case over to Germany.
Does someone know of a dealer in Canada who sells these cases?
I found this one ca.crackberry.com
But the name does not have the best ring to it... Has someone bought something from there?
Thanx
They are legit. I've bought stuff from them and they're a part of the Mobile Nations network (ex. AndroidCentral.com and others). Their store ships out of Toronto.

The name is because they're mainly a community for BlackBerry devices. When you're addicted to a BB, it's like crack, hence Crackberry
Whereas Androids are more like classier drugs

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.
Hey everyone.
Currently have a HTC Hero. Want to get the Desire Z/G2.
Does anyone know any good priced UK sellers?
So far my best option seems to be Play.com, just wondering if its available elsewhere for cheaper?
Ive googled but most of the sites Ive never heard of/seen/or used before so I am a bit edgy...
Cheers everyone! Hopefully Ill be a proper member of the G2/Desire Z brigade soon!
(No, Im not going to import it unless someone can give me a really really really good reason to)
Its a good phone,I got mine off amazon but in the space of 2 days went up in price by 50 quid!
Nothing against amazon but as I found out when I tried to transfer my phone insurance over they would not touch it as they class Amazon as a "2nd hand" dealer even though they sell new stuff as well,good service and I thought 250 for it new was fair, just be mindful about the insurance angle
Thanks! Thats why I didnt want to import really, most insurers will class it as a 'grey import' and not touch it (Ive had the same with camera equipment)
Im guessing Play would be treated as not being a 2nd hand dealer surely...?
I would get a second hand one, but not sure what versions will be locked down and unrootable (if there are versions that are locked down?)... A couple are available locally on gumtree etc for between £190-£210, I wouldnt get insurance, but Ive always babied my Mobiles so may just go without...hmm...
A bonus of getting a second hand one may be that it is easier to root,i think the newer phones were causing problems to root(I think they have sorted it out) I know what worked for me,
Hopefully welcome to the Desire Z brigade
If I were you, this late in the life of the Desire Z, I'd just buy a refurb unit or used from another person. It's really not worth the price that they will be charging online at this point.
Not sure about the UK market for DZ's, but in the US the going price for a used G2 is in the $200-$250 range.
I brought my dz from www.handtec.co.uk. they seem trustworthy and prices were very good.
The XDA app now has a thanks button. Please use it
I have seen them on simply electronics website in UK for 248 pound brand new, i bought a camera from the same website and had no problem.

I'm sure I had an email last week from either Expansys or Dabs which had a DZ for just over £200. Can't find the email at the moment, I will check tomorrow.

Bought my desire z off amazon too...amazon prices change every now and then..I got mine when it was 250 I dont think it usually goes any lower.

Found the email, Expansys were offering the DZ for £280 sim free but it shows up as discontinued now. Though they B grade stock for the same price.

Most likely locked to 3 Ireland but If you can get it unlocked (which will probably be very soon on here) this is the best price ive seen anywhere at all for purchasing the phone outright, £499.95 on Amazon, Carphone Warehouse UK,etc which comes to €627
available from tomorrow, im sure they will post to UK only across the water

Probably best to post in the dedicated thread rather than pointlessly opening a new one.

There is a whole thread here dedicated to price/availability.
My beloved Galaxy S is dead. The Samsung technician said it's the motherboard. I dread the thought of spending more money on a new phone, especially if it only lasts 2 years. However, there is a guy selling supposedly new Galaxy S phones on Yahoo's local Internet auction. I'm tempted because of the price and because I have an extra battery and a really nice case (not to mention I now have spare parts), but I don't know what I should be aware of. How can a 2-year-old phone still be around when the Galaxy S3 is out? Can this be legitimate leftover inventory? Are there known fakes out there? (A search of Ebay shows a lot of Galaxy S phones in Shenzhen, China, but I don't know if they're fake or not.)
What questions should I ask the seller? I want to know if there is an OEM battery and if it comes in an unopened box. What else should I ascertain?
Thanks.
Ask him to type *#1234# in the phone if the box is opened;
if he says like
Pda I9000....
Phone I9000
CSC I9000
the best way to know if it is fake or not.
if the box is not opened you should decide yourself.Want some picture from seller for the box etc..
I didnt see any fakes of galaxy s.But as you know galaxy s has some variants
I9000
I9000T
I9000B
Or korean version which's name is entirely different and so on
i recommend you to choose international one,I9000.Custom rom support is amazing for it!

LOL, I bought mine in January 2012 at Noel Leeming NZ
The guy said that i9000 stocks are still available in Vietnam
I haven't talked to the seller just yet, but I got a rough translation of some of the questions people have been asking him.
First off, he had 50 for sale, 41 are left. He says they were display models. They are not 100% new, but no one has asked him yet how much use they have had. He offers a 7-day exchange if something is wrong, and a 30-day warranty. It is the i9000 as that was all that was available here. He sells a lot of cell phone-related things and has pretty good feedback. He has some HTC Arias and Heros for sale, too, which may lend some legitimacy to his business.
I'll have to register an account to ask him more questions. If the phones have never been turned on, he may be reluctant to type in that code.
MrAndroid12, how much did you pay for yours?
I bought mine in january of this year to ;p, for €150 (idk how many dollars that is).
But it broke recently while flashing, and i'm experienced with flashin, but i could not fix it D:, so i got the sensation, thats a really good phone to, and if you know where to look, you can get it cheap

Has anybody tried buying one of the third party battery doors off of Ebay and using it with a Sprint variant? They all say they're made for the International variant, but I don't know how different the housing of the hardware is between the phones.
There shouldn't be any difference. I'm not saying there isn't. I bought a battery door off eBay from a guy in Florida that was for the sprint version. The reason I liked it was because there was no carrier branding on it. I don't know if the guy is still selling them, I didn't look.
If it is the back cover just go for it. There shouldn't be any difference
But if your going for full casing I would advice against buying the international version because I've never seen the guts of either and since they have different processors I'll just guess the guts have different sizes/shapes

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I did order the housing in the end. Should be here in about 10 days, so I'll post whether or not it works then, if anybody's interested.
