Pre-Ordering a Kaiser

Has anybody around here ever used www.superetrader.co.uk, 'cause that's who I'm thinking of placing my pre-order with...
Alternatively, has anyone got any recommendations for where to put my name down (in the UK, preferably).

They are active over at pocketGPSworld and seem legit, although given Expansys aren't claiming to have an in-stock date I'd be a little dubious about stock coming in Wednesday.
Do let us know what you do
Gordon

Thanks Gordon.
I don't really believe the availability date, they have other HTC phones with the same date given for availability so it's probably just a general day when they receive their HTC shipments or something.
The P4550 page looks a bit out of date - a couple of the specs (GPS chip, RAM) look like they're taken from old information, so I'm guessing the availability date is a little way out as well. I've been waiting since January though, so a bit longer wont hurt.
They've got quite a good score on DealTime but I'm never sure whether to trust those sorts of sites, I'm happier listening to forum opinions, so unless I see a load of negative opinion, I'll probably go with them later this week - but I think I'll use PayPal or Google Checkout for a little extra peace of mind.

Seems they have removed the phone now as cannot see it on there site.

Expansys
I used expansys sometimes it is a great seller so i ask me why they don`t accept pre-order for the Kaiser... You can pre-order a iphone too wich nobody knows when it will be aviable in Europe....

Another one taking pre-orders
http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-P4550

Another pre-order HERE

Wow $869 USD???
Is that really the price?
What if I waited and purchased it from Cingular? I'm wondering if the preorder price is so high because it's without carrier?

I used superetraders to get my ETEN M700, they were very helpful with the order (complicated with a cc registered in one country and delivery to another country). The device arrived within the time they said and the phone had had a pre-sales check - I never got any of the problems that seemd to plague others!
I can heartily recommend them!

Anyone know if Kaiser is going to be available in Australia if so when.

Well I placed my oredr with Superetrader and payment was taken straight out of my account because I (stupidly, it seems) used Google Checkout.
Google Checkout showed my P4550 as "Posted" but, as noted earlier in this thread, Superetrader then took the P4550 off their site.
A few e-mails later trying to figure out what was really going on, Superetrader have confirmed that the release date has slipped to "Hopefully late July or early August". Shame I had to pay for the thing way in advance, but I'm hopeless with money so at least I know it's paid for and will be on it's way asap.
Moral is avoid Google Checkout! I have no problem with Superetrader, but the whole process has been complicated by Google and their fledgling payment service, which clearly needs a bit of ironing out.

Looking to buy HTC Kaiser

Greetings all,
I've been waiting for a quite long, but HTC not yet to release the Kaiser.
The point is "I cant wait any longer".
Iam looking to buy one for me, Any brand new or used.
Please PM me for further inquiries.
Thank you

Have patience and wait. I will prefer to wait for some real world tests by early adopters before I put my money. But who knows if I could be that patient.

I thought that too. But thanks anyway.

If it's not out yet, who's going to have one to sell to you?

Maybe he's planning to get a pre-prod unit?

i agree with you. i want a model that is completely finished and all the bugs are fixed. i mean, remember when people would get the early models with 64mb of Ram? nwo wait a little longer and it's 128mb of Ram. who knows what other features they may add.

On ebay there is only one left
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130139042077&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003

Yea, I wouldn't get that one... I like the fact that the seller is being honest, radio goes on and off according to him.
However, the phone's bid has gone now in the 600s. A little too rich for my blood for a crippled device. in about a month a new and fully working one will cost some 1-200 dollars more, depending on where you get it of course.
I know I am getting one! Gotta replace the Wizard. It has served me extremely well, but I'm ready to dish out another crazy amount of money to buy a phone. Damn, for that kind of money I can get myself a nice medium size HDTV... or get my car a nice paint job, or pay my rent Can anyone guess what my priorities are?

@goolpone: It also depends on where do you come from: Africa, Asia, Usa, Europe? ;-)

geaerally? eBay my friend.

I'm italian, is there any body who want to sell his/her s730?.. i need 2 devices for $500/$520.. sameone?..

I found many people selling it through "second hand" stores in our country. Try to do the same with google focused on your country area with keywords / sell HTC s730 price / of course in your native language (sell, price).

So you want someone to sell you 2 phones that retail for around $500-550 new for the price of one? The European model has only been out for a few months and AFAIK not picked up by networks yet.
I think you need to either set your price higher or wait for network upgrades to filter on the market. It's when people get 'free' or heavily subsidised phones they don't need that second-hand deals start becoming attractive.
But good luck!

Sure hope thats each, unless someone got theirs for free no one would sell two for what they payed for one, and if it was a pre - prod unit...

but there are not carreer like vodafone, o2, cingular that sell it for a contract? and sameone that coul resell it? i know it's possible and yet done

Did you try my recommendation? I found the second hand phones (one month old = warranty) on 500 dollars level in CZ. I think that in your country you will find the same. There are many people disillusioned by RAM, ATI drivers, GPS lacks.

For a new phone such as this, you'd perhaps be better off trying on ebay

Do not forget that price on ebay is sometimes "penalized" by paying also the TAX and VAT to your custom.

My S730 is brandnew and im already so fed up with it.
Im going to sell it on ebay in the comming days.
I will also post the link to the auction on this forum for you to use.

It means that you are not satisfied by s730 and you will switch to different producer? As f.e. jocky.d? If yes, I have some favorites.

share your favorites then roomish....as I too am getting annoyed with my S730 and ebay is calling

It is so pitty - S730 could be so cool smartphone.
Well my favorites:
Asus P750 - although it has only 64MB - the free memory is about 20MB, the phone is handy sized
iPAQ 614c - very cheap, little bigger
I-mate 8502 - qwerty keyboard
All models are on the market only few days.

I've only had this thing since last week and I think I'm going to return it. The memory leak is horrible, not to mention there isn't enough of it to begin with. If I browse to a non-mobile url using IE, the browser closes since there isn't enough memory! The keyboard is slow and if I type fast, misses letters and I have to go back. A few times I have placed calls and they route through the speaker phone even though I haven't activated it and the entire phone locks up. Don't buy this phone, it sucks. I should have bought a Tytn II, at least then I would have working GPS.

I was after something a little smaller but with features.....
I liked the size of my old C600 but obviously you get more the bigger you get :s
and does anyone want to buy an S730?

389 including delivery, a hell of alot cheaper than expansys!
Remember it WILL be an import, and these guys probably won't handle shipping it to HK for you, like expansys say they will. (assuming HTC don't do worldwide waranty).
I just ordered one. These guys are pretty well known and have been around forever. Hopefully will be here tommorow

How annoying of TotalPDA! I've also chickened out and gone for the ebay route (hope it actually comes, I've had problems with ebay in the past S), even tho it's an import it's still the cheapest out there and you all know we'll end up with a custom rom anyway P
If it does come I'll let you all know.... this guy's gonna love us if he's genuine!

I know people who've used these guys before, so i'm prett confident it'll come. I'll also let you know when mine arives

Can you let us all know how much RAM your device has. My understanding is that the official UK version is 192 MB and any import available now is only 128 MB.
thanks, cojo

I have import from HK - ebay - 192 MB RAM

128MB is only on the pre-release versions. All diamonds brought legally, no matter where you get it, will have 192MB (bear in mind 64Mb is used for the OS). The main difference is which bands it will work on as the US have different operating bands for GSM and UMTS than Europe/Asia

As said above, only the pre release ones had 128mb. I think this 'rumour' about imports came from one or two posts (maybe the same guy) where the user was looking at the user ram total and available. This doesnt take into account the ram the ROM uses. If you search for the posts you'll see that a few posts later its clarified, but by then its too late - people are posting everywhere its 128mb already!

i'm confused. It seems you are receiving dispatched mails within a day or two of placing the order, with express shipping. I too chose express shipping when I ordered yesterday morning and I received this email from them this morning saying...
"Your item is due for dispatch.Sorry for keep you waiting,but as per our listing,for all the high value item,we need 5 working days to arrange delivery upon receive payment.You will get the tracking number after delivery,thanks!"
This suggests that they aren't going to dispatch it for another FOUR days despite having my money and me meeting all their criteria for express delivery. This is a little worrying. If they have stock why wait 5 days before sending it? I smell something fishy, do you think they are importing on order?

cojones said:

You might be right. I checked with the friends who said they have used these guys before...
They ship anytime between 0 and 5 days with the normal shipping, they say its an anti fraud measure - probably to make sure your not ordering to some empty house and breaking in on the next day to get it
Thats plausable, but i think its probably to get you to pay the extra 10 quid for express, or to allow them to get stock (import).
I didnt pick the express option thinking it would be 1 to 3 days max. Mine still hasnt shipped yet
I'm confident talking to my friends you'll get the phone - but i think your right, they are importing to order with a small buffer which has probably run out.
BTW has anyone received their phone from these guys yet? Can you check the rom version please?

Well i decided to buy one, just placed a pre-order with TotalPda as they seem to be the cheapest for uk spec models...£445 with del included. Told me that i should have the phone by the 24th of this month.
Not really sure if i will keep it but they did say i could return it if im not happy so ill have a play for a few days before making up my mind on whether to keep it or not.
I do hope that i fall in love with it or else ill be waiting for the Sony Xperia X1.

Blimey, we're all so eager, us gadget freaks aren't we...seems I just didn't have the patience, got this earlier...

Well i was under the impression that it was going to be Sept but now they arent so sure..some are saying Jan/Feb 2009 which if they wait that long then its game over for Sony Ericsson...i really do hope its Sept when its released.
In the meantime ill wait for the Diamond and see how i get on with it...i have a feeling from what i have been reading here and other forums...that ill end up sending it back for a refund and wait for the X1. But im hoping the UK spec of the Diamond will be better than the grey imports that alot of people have...its been delayed due to HTC fixing some software issues or so i have heard.

Been monitoring and just (in the last hour) seen Play.com change their date from 13/06 to 27/06, so going to have to wait another two weeks for my order - damn.
Still £429 inc. VAT and delivery though

Ordered HTC Diamond 2

Well just as an opening thread for now... ordered the HTC Diamond 2...should be with me next thursday all being well
Release date is 8/3 from memory so if they ship out on the same day...
Have explained about the returns etc and that I would want to turn it on/mess about to test out before formally excepting it... the company are fine with this as long as its in re-sellable condition along with packaging etc.
Things I will test that my current Diamond (first edition) has really annoyed me:
1. Both ear and loud speaker volume (and I know about the hack that in the end simply distorts the speaker)
2. Touch screen - how much does it compare to the iphone...iphone nipped it in the bud with their screen in how good it is in responsivness...you can literally touchtype on it...the Diamond even with the hack is still not as good and sometimes annoying if its too sensitive.
3. Battery life
4. Quite important, it's compatibility with my Audi bluetooth kit - current one displays missed calls/dialled calls/entire phonebook etc on my Audi screen.
5. Any sort or genuine windows slide to answer/slide to unlock? S2U2 is great but still has a few annoyances which is perfectly acceptable given that its free, someones spent a lot of hard time on it etc
I think thats my top 5 really - my threshold is if 2 of the 5 fail, its going back.
One of the items that must pass is point 4.
Will report back when I get it!

I just ordered mine yesterday too. Can't wait to get it...
And about Battery life and answer/slide unlock you don't need to bother, it's fine and in the Diamond2 it's a better battery!
The only thing that bothers me is.. that there's no D-PAD. I hope we're going to get used to it...

Orderd mine today too. Now the waiting begins...
Curious about life without dpad too....

Where did you ordered yours? Cause I live in Belgium but I am not sure what site to order, I think pdashop.be or something like that. I am born in Holland so I got relatives that live there,so maybe it could be easier to order it and send it to their adres? The release date was the 14the of April right? Can`t wait I already sold my Diamond and are currently using an old Samsung D900

I'm from belgium aswell, been looking into it, i think our cheapest (doesnt say much for how early u get it, but cheap is what counts for me!) option is http://www.belzaak.nl/preorder/HTC/6972/HTC_Touch_Diamond_II_NL/
delivery to belgium is like 13€, making it a whopping 41€ cheaper than pdashop ...

You guys are all lucky bastards , haha just messing with you guys, I am trying to sell my Fuze right now so I can buy a Diamond 2, anyone interested

I am curious to see if Diamond 2's speakers are going to be better than my current Diamond. If it's as good as Touch HD's, then it'll be great. Also, will it come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, cos lots of new apps require that. Will be checking this thread on and off before the set becomes available in Malaysia. Last question - price - cheaper than Touch HD?

The Diamond 2 will most likely come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, as for the price... yes it will be cheaper than the HD, according to Expansys - the Diamond 2 will be $125 usd cheaper.

I just ordered mine as well. My supplier said it was supposed to arrive yesterday, but its stuck with customs. Im anxiously waiting for his call today, if not tomorrow. I wonder if i will be the first in the world to own it (that is IF it isnt an april fool's joke!)

I ordered mine at pdashop.nl, it's expected to arrive on april 10th. I ordered other things from them before and never had any complaint. They also do very well consistently in the tweakers.net shop review. They do indeed have a belgian equivalent: pdashop.be.
For me, service is important. I have owned both an E-ten PDA and an HTC PDA. Both have had problems and have been sent RMA once. If a repair is needed, I want that to happen quickly and without trouble. I would never buy any grey device. But that's just MHO.

At a Webshop here in Switzerland it says "will be available approx. early April".. I guess it's coming on the 10th of April aswell.
Can't wait to replace my HTC TyTN II with a Diamond2...

I ordered mine from here http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1868/ I can't wait for it to arrive, life without a D-Pad is gonna suck but it still beats the hell outta having an Elf-in !!

india
i frm india any idea which site to get it frm and tell can i get any version or all are the same pls help im a noooooooob
thanks guys

I don't know where to buy in India. However, devices sold in different countries have different ROM's. If you buy a device with a language different from your own you would have to hard splash it and upload a custom ROM from XDA or an official HTC ROM in another language. You'd be screwed if it would break and you would need to have it repaired under warranty. Then it has to have the original ROM it came with on it.
