With regards to the TyTn II...
My buddy is vacationing in Hong Kong this week and I was wondering if I'll run into any problems if I have him pick one up for me in the market over there?
I need to have him make sure that it's a 120 with 2 cameras.
I need to have him make sure it's not a German version with the 'z' and 'y' keys reversed.
Are there any other issues or things to consider?
Will I be able to re-flash? I don't know what else to ask.
I don't know if they are available, what the price might be or anything else. I'm also not able to have him bring back a box of them -- he's just a friend on vacation who might be able to do me a favor. (i.e. I'm not going to become a salesman for these.)

Sure, why not. Its not like china has a horrible reputation lately LOL
On a serious note, I dunno, still waiting for mine from at&t. I couldnt resist though.
I bought mine from HK..it's English Version...
All kaiser in HK is with 2 cameras, comes with 1 yr warranty..If any problem within 10 days..they will replace it with new one..
Right now... mine is working great..
Only the ATT ones will have the 100,200 etc. All the HTC branded phones will be unlocked and have all the features.
Consider warranty aspect
The Kaiser versions sold here are with 2 cameras and not locked to any carrier, and available in English. Comes with UK compatible power plug.
Only downside is that there is no worldwide warranty, just Hong Kong warranty.
Price?

Thanks so much for the info and advice.
If I was going to send my buddy around do you have any advice on what the name of the best market is and what his top negotiating price should be (in HK$)? He's Chinese but grew up in the US so he'll probably get taken advantage of like any other expat? LOL
He's been staying near Wan Chai.
Thanks again!

There is a Wan Chai computer mall near where your friend is staying. They have some reputable shops such as Master OA, etc. Some other shops to buy from are Broadway, Fortress, Wilson phone shops, telco shops (CSL and 12Free) - they have shops in many places.
For now, it seems price is pretty standard (HK$5980-6180) since there is only official goods (i.e, from authorized distributor) available. So, it is unlikely your friend will get cheated there. There are 2 versions, English and Chinese with the earlier in lower quantity.
Hope this helps.

Yeah Sin Tat building has tons of shops selling mobile phones including unlocked iPhone and Kaiser. They may have lower price but the I personally prefer buying from more reputable shops.
Hm, regarding ur friends, maybe u should buy some (>1 Kaiser) just in case ur friends turn nasty.
I'll be arriving to Singapore next Saturday (31st) and staying until the evening of the 6th... Will I be able to find the Diamond anywhere there? Any forum members based in Singapore could please advise (when, where etc.?) ...
Regards,
Gary.
So you're visiting singapore.. where are you actually from? It seems to be coming out in most markets around 6th june anyway. I guess you may save some tax if u just carry it in and keep quiet, but most likely that'll be canceled out by the over the odds price you may have to pay to get it right away.
Beloved S'pore isn't really a good place to buy phones - by far too expansive.
one of the cheapest places for htc devices is still Germany and other countries across Europe (additionally you will get 2 years warranty!)

Thanks, I may just miss it then (or, maybe I'll extend my stay in Singapore to cover Saturday the 7th also ),
Originally from the UK, I'm now based in Switzerland. I'm over there to do some training for a week,
It's not so much saving or not; to order locally is a pain when you don't want it preloaded in German or French. When ordering in English, it can take a while to arrive (as was the case with the TyTN II when I purchased it a few months ago) and it's no cheaper since you can't order an English (i.e. non-standard) phone with a contract.
Frankly, it's easier to walk into Sim Lim or where ever, just pick one up and avoid the troubles.

Any online vendor in Australia ? who ships to India?
Australia may have it already, but Hong Kong as had it for two weeks already.
One thing is for sure, HK is the cheapest. I just got mine for HKD 2680. That's AUD359, SGD 467.
This is not an insiders deal, I just walked in off the street. HK puts everyone to shame (in more ways than one).

Well, I am also from HK. Diamond only came out last saturday (May 31) and from what I know HK$2680 is subsidized price ,i.e. you have to sign 12/18 months contracts with the telco (CSL, One2Free).
I found a guy who said he can get some brand new htc x7500/x7501 keyboards. right now they are 50pounds but i am trying to get him down to 40 pounds if i can find 5 people who want one. so if you really want one not just thinking about it. post a message here saying you want one and tell me the country you live in. so i can see if he ships their
hi irus,
I own a 7501. Im from the philippines and was wondering how much he would charge for the shipping here.
I'm in New Jersey USA and was wondering the same about shipping and price...TJ
i will check for both of you and let you know, sometimes he takes a couple of days to respond JSUK

Been a while huh? I would love one myself Atlanta, GA here find out price including shipping. Also if he can get the housing on the 7501 that would be a plus also.
the guy responded with 10 pounds, so i guess thats just a flat rate
@tootallk2000 he has not responded yet to the x7501 case yet.
i live in texas with a 7501 i have been look everywhere for a new keyboard since i lost my old one. if it is too late is there a way for you to put me in touch with him, i honestly cant find anyone who carries these. thanks a bunch
Thanks in advance, I also need in keyboard mine is x7500 sliver color. i am staying in india.please let me the cost.
htc x7500 keyboard
Hi Irus,
I know it's been a while but i would like an original new keyboard for my htc x7500 and if you can have one with arabic letters on it it would be even better.
I am in United Arab Emirates

Don't buy from this guy, he keeps raising his prices. I had originally bought one of these using "buy now" for i think $8 or so and i got an email saying they didnt have any left and I got a refund. Two minutes later, the same faceplate was set to a buy now price of $17. Now its $30, same seller...

He probably kept realizing that be are willing to pay more. His score is 9000 and he is a US seller (not hong kong) so I am pretty sure it's a safe buy.
Don't be naive. Wanna bet this person sits in Hong Kong... as the items he's selling??? Look where the Item Location is: HONG KONG!!!

Agreed, seems pretty peculiar.

That is just stupid to say. First of all ebay is the best thing since the supermarket. If you can't find it in a store near you it can most of the times be found on ebay.
Secondly many sellers from Hong Kong is far more trustworthy than sellers in germany, UK or USA. I know, I have bought from them all.

Does anyone know which is the installation procedure of this plate? Any guide or something like that?
They now have full OEM housing @ cnn for a whopping $79usd. Damn, it is so expensive. I had bought housing there in the past for W950i and the quality was decent. Not really sure if this housing will fix the crack issues. Can anyone confirm?

Hey everyone, my 1st post here in xda. I found this forum while looking up info on n7000 and every other forum mentions this one and I can see why. I know it's not a good thing to start out here asking questions but I need some advice.
Does anyone know where I can buy a brand new unsealed n7000? I read in this forum that different people buy from different places and some of those sellers aren't even selling anymore. I just tried amazon off someone called MasterDeals, I know that there might be problems trying to buy this phone but I tried buying from them because it was "fulfilled by Amazon", I just got my phone today and what do you know, There was no phone inside... just a empty galaxy note box and I can tell it was never opened because there was no security seal to begin with, and there is no left over marks of their being a seal( the side is completely clean). So there's a heads up. "Don't buy from MasterDeals."
And since there has been some issue with the screen and other function, What's a good way for me to check every aspect of the phone to make sure it is 100% new and working? Thanks in advance
Also I'm planning on buying from "FGS Trading" off amazon, has anyone here bought from them?
why didn't you buy a sgn from a authorised samsung dealer?

Just a question did yours have the original security seal on it?
