I Need a Rogers Branded Magic

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?

Please check your pm or call me for I have what your looking for 99% brand new with not one scratch roger's magic that yes does work on att 3g flawlessly complete with original box and all accessories 2 weeks old today to sell. They sell for over $600.00 and I would do to give you an idea around $520.00 shipped. Thx, Kev

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

check ebay canada.... you can probably get it for $450 as i got mine for $441..

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.

Where to buy unlocked GSM Hero?

Other than ebay, where can I get an unlocked hero? I know there's a site called 'puremobile' or 'purephones' or something... there was a site that I was on yesterday that had unlocked Hero's for $520 which is a perfect price but I can't seem to remember where that was.

LOL they have them on ebay for around 400 or even less if your lucky.

Mind pasting some links? Because I'm looking on EBay and all I see is $550 and up right now.

Have you tried Handtec? i bought my HD from there, dunno if they have a US Site tho

Hmm... I'm not sure if they will ship to the states... Any others?

Puremobile - Canadian retailer
Negri Electronics - I got mine from here. It was already unlocked (the Telus version), so I didn't have to pony up for an unlock code. Ships from Wisconsin

i Would check out play.com or similar sites, they sell unlocked (simfree) handsets , i would avoid ebay or any sites like that

Hello just registered
I am exactly looking for same thing.Please someone help me I will buy from US.
What i came accross was ;
http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Hero-Unlocked-QuadBand-White-p/htc-hero-wht.htm
499 bucks.
But is this site safe ? And i read something like this about them ? But i guess this problem can be solved with ROM update right ?
DO NOT BUY FORM THIS COMPANY. i bought a htc hero, it came in quickly but could only be set up in enlish with three asian countries, no possiblities to be set up in USA or any other country. Once you set up english in either Malaysian, Cambodia, or Indonesia then you get english key board but still has asian symbols so you don't to use full effect of keypad. Also it does not have andriod market or any upgrade programs. i tried to call the company, no answer, then i sent them 8 yes 8 emails asking them to contact me and not one single reply so now my return deadline has passed. i contacted better business beruea and if i don't hear from them soon i will contact them via my brother who lucky for me works FBI in the southern florida district and has police friends to get something moving on this scam. they robbed me of 499.00 dollars and i am not happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO USE THEM.

PHONES PURCHSED FROM Mobiles.co.uk

Hi all,
I have recieved my phone from mobiles.co.uk finaly who initially advertised the I9000 as the 16gb version... This is incorrect and have since changed their website to 8gb..
I have been in contact with mobiles.co.uk who have tried to send me an 8gb memory to make up the difference. Like probably most of us here we already have 8gb memory cards so this is useless but may be useful to you.
I would advise that anybody who has purchased the Samsung Galaxy S from mobiles.co.uk as the 16gb version, to double check and you'll probably find its the 8 and if you want to return it.. do so before the return policy runs out and goto vodaphone for the 16.
I am curious how many people they have done this too!!!

Hi, I bought mine from Mobiles.co.uk, and yes it was advertised as 16g, but it was also advertised as having an LED Flash at one point. But being realistic I never expected to get a 16G version since Vodafone announced a UK exclusive on it. Mobiles corrected this as soon as they got them. I didnt bother asking for an 8 gig card, as you say, we mostly already have them.
You are fully entitled to send it back, and get one from Vodafone, but it will be locked, and likely Vodafone branded with the red dog turd. So I'm happy with my 8G version, and its hardly a limitation given we can add another 32G in the SDHC slot.
I guess its a question of weither you feel cheated or hard done by, or weither you shrug it off as an easy oversight in today's world where a new gadget arrives every week.

Thats exactly it.. but would rather be given the choice than realise when its too late and cant send it back.. Vodafone offer it for £35pm and dont give the half price offer neither which would pay for the SD card..
Just a note to people... thats all.

guys do you know if this phone work on tmobile US? can I buy it off and get it send over to the us????
thanks

D803 Where are you???

Canadians, where did you buy you D803's? Are there any online retailers that will ship internationally? I've been doing the rounds looking through the usual search engines trying to find any online store that will sell them. Bell will only ship to Canada, Rogers will only let you buy one in store, I've read that Telus has a slightly different radio configuration, so thats out.
I'm an American living in New Zealand and the D803 is the perfect LTE spectrum match for me, so I'm trying to find one anywhere. Even the e-harbor doesn't have listings. Is this thing too new? Will it show up online? Suggestions for where to look?
Sorry, not trying to seem spammy but I'm kinda stuck here.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I think the best alternative in your situation would be eBay. You can get new phones that someone else has bought from Rogers/Bell, opened the box just to unlock the device, and is selling it for probably $50 more. So I estimate $700 - $750. Ensure that the seller has a good rating, ships to AU, and watch the extra shipping costs, if any.
I have bought new phones from eBay a few times before, haven't been burned yet.
Looks to be one Bell G2 and one ATT G2 listed currently, was more when I looked a couple weeks ago (a Rogers one).

[Q] Buying N3 in China

Hi, I'd like some tips to choose which model of Note3 to buy in China.
SM-NXXX or tips to not get scammed.
I live in Italy, so which one is usable here? Or which one can be modded? Thanks ^^

Best tip to not get scammed:-
Don't buy it in China

What's bad about it? Did you get the dual sim one?
Most likely I have to buy/trade one there (giving back my HTC one 802t).
What's the difference between sm-n900, 900k and 9005?

my best advice, get your note 3 in your country, and from an authorized vendor, you will be covered against any malfuction or quality issues, the money you coul probably save buying on line, will never amount to the peace of mind a warranty offers you, I have returned some phones 3 or four, always getting a new one, if you buy on line, and specially fron china, what will you do in case of a sudden death or something else?
the forum is plagued with cases of people asking for help due to malfunctions that otherwise could have been solved through an authorized dealer in their respective countries, think about this, luck

If you want to have 4g then you cannot but one from China Mainland, none of them support 4g lte. You need to get one from Hongkong(SM-N9005). Do not get the SM-N900 as it is 3g only as well.
Here is the main ones you can buy from China/Hongkong:
9002: dual sim version, wcdma+gsm
9006: wcdma version
9008: TD-scdma version
9009: dual sim version, cmda2000+gsm
9005: 4g version, parallel imported from hongkong
900: wcdma. dual quad cores
