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?

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.

I got the reference number, but what good is it to me if it isn't valid until after delivery?!!
Also, RM do provide tracking numbers as standard with special delivery, which next day is so I'm still confused!!!

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

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

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.

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.

I know . My info from http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258736&view=findpost&p=840054 it could be that their initial shipment doesn't cover all pre-orders, so ordering now would result in shipping in 4 days. Dunno!
Gordon
And I haven't heard a single apology. Wasn't it Crunchgear.com that first said the 3rd? I'm never going to that website again!
Another one that may do US shipping and have 700 in stock (according to website)http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-TYTN-II
The same Expansys link now shows an estimate of 1 day.
Just browse mobilefun uk and their tytn II cost £409 while expansys uk had it at £489. An £80 diffenerece is a lot. Does anybody here has an idea what's the difference between the two device? I'm really puzzled...
apology
sorry, just browse again and mobilefun price went up to £469 but i swear it was £409 yesterday
When there's no stock, it's always cheap. I'm picking my one up from Inkino tomorrow. They have a tracking number from distributor... It is in town!!!!!
Hmm. Expansys seems to have moved from 4 days to delivery to available to order. Don't know whether that means that there has been a delay.

subscribed to this thread, sweating in anticipation. I have a corporate person looking out for me, but i think she also is busy with real work
Well they have popped up on ebay already... Just saw 3 of them, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=htc+kaiser&category0=
the seller has no feedback, account is new, and he's listed them as bids. Already at some 700 USD with 6 days to go... Damn these people are stupid! Anyone remember the Moto RAZR? yea... 1600 USD on ebay! Some poor dumbasses paid that much... and I see this going just as high, if not higher.
This kaiser anticipation is quite entertaining.
yet its killing me!

Well guys, I called my local AT&T store yesterday and asked about the 8925. Sales rep told me (after a brief hold time) that it would be released Sept. 11. That's a pretty sensitive day in the US, but the release of this phone would definitely make a dark day brighter!
Of course, she qualified her response with the fact that these dates are subject to change. I was thinking to myself....ohhhhh really?!!
hey, has anyone bought their Kaiser from the xda store? I searched, but only found one person. just wondering before i bought it, because 715 dollars seems to be the lowest deal i could find.

I am also wondering if there are any other people alive on this forum that have purchased the kaiser from the XDA Store.
If anyone out there has purchased one, can you please fill us in on some of the items that have been included in you package? does it include the case and Tom Tom like some of the other kasiers people have bought online?
Any form of reply would be happily accepted.

thanks for the reply, but i was wondering if anyone actually already ordered from xda and received their phone.
i ordered mine but paid with paypal echeck, the funds will clear tomorrow... and i got the overnight shipping, so i should have it friday at the latest... oh and the club membership is totally worth it... it saved me 15% ($120usd) on the price....

Well I broke down and ordered just now. $120.00 discount and I took 2nd day express so hoping for Friday. Feels good to take the pluge......

I ordered via the website as well. I chose the free shipping route as I'm not far from Michigan (Chicago suburbs). I'm hoping it's here by Friday.
I also sent several emails and received responses very fast. Been a great experience overall and the price can't be beat.

I placed my order yesterday (Monday). By email I was informed that they would be receiving the Kaiser on Tuesday but were not sure it would ship by Tuesday. So far, no email confirming shipment. Hopefully will ship Wednesday and arrive Thursday as I paid for next day.
They did confirm that it ships with Tom Tom (sans Maps).
When I ordered today it showed in stock.

you have to buy the xda discount membership, and then you'll receive 15 percent off of the 799. so it'll come out to be around 719 now, because the xda membership went up five dollars.
for those considering this deal, it might not be a bad idea to wait. A lot of us have ordered, but I don't think any of us have received anything yet.
I don't like that they are still showing in stock and shipping within 24 hours. I never received an email that they were out of stock and it's starting to get fishy...

As I normally get 1st Class post the day after I was expecting it to arrive Thursday but it hasn't, neither did it arrive today. I gather as it's in the post system it's a royal mail delay but I've never had a problem before. (Also Royal Mail are the most unhelpful people around...long story)

Also have you not checked the royalmail website for the tracking info??. Although that wont be of any use as its not updated till the parcel is delivered.
But i would email the seller and ask him what exactly is going on??.

Tracking system just says the item has not been delivered. All the RM tracking can tell you is when it was delivered so you dont know at what stage it is, just that it's somewhere but not delivered....handy I know. It is a valid tracking number tho as I tried changing a digit and it said it was invalid.

Hmmm interesting, i just rung up totalpda and they still say its the 24th they will have stock in. Rung up Inkino and they are saying that this thurs or fri they should have stock in but their allocation has sold out plus they are selling them at £470 with delivery. Insight havent a clue to be honest, although their website says they 50 coming in...they are all sold out but also said stock is due in end of week. When i asked about their refund/return policy..they said you can return it but will be charged a restocking fee of 20%. Spoke to play.com and they are expecting stock in on 19th so have placed an order with them as they are cheapest at the moment. Still have my pre-order with totalpda as well as i will wait and see what happens with play.com...whether they deliver on the 19th or not.
Look on the bright side though, at least you will have a proper uk spec model rather than an imported one ie grey.
Yeah, actually what changed my mind was the issues people are having.
There seems to be a distinct difference in issues between people with the older 1.34 rom and 1.35 rom. So I'm hoping the UK rom will be even better. We don't really know how long it will take for the hard SPL to work on the new diamonds, and when HTC will release an update for the HK version.
I think at this rate it'll be out on T-Mobile by the time i get hold of one

Still not 100% sure if ill keep it but ill have a few days playing with it and see how i get on with it. If i dont then ill just wait for the Sony Xperia X1 which is due out Sept or Oct according to the guy at Inkino. I would wait for tmobile but my contract doesnt renew till next yr so i might end up getting the Touch pro when my contract comes up for renewal.
Anyone had positive dealings with htcdirect.co.uk before? Think I might order from here, would do play but they order to billing and I need it sent to work.

Same reason as me, id like to order from them but not really sure to be honest. In the meantime ive sent them an email asking if they will definitley have them in stock and whether they are proper uk models. Also enquired about their returns policy etc.
If i get an answer soon, ill post back
Seems to have been released in the US but no work on UK yet...any ideas when this may be released?
Also waiting to find out about this in the UK, its listed on the Asus UK website but no word of any availability.
Ditto - although I now own a Samsung Gear S3 Classic ( & Frontier when it shows up) - I still want o get the Zenwatch Rose Gold because of the styling

Yeah very odd..
Listed on asus website with no information on availability .
The only way to buy the watch is to import from bhphotovideo. (with duty it comes to about £299)
not sure what the UK final price will be though
They have it on the Amazon.de site but you can't have it shipped it to the UK. It seems it's widely available in Europe just not in the UK, maybe it's some safety issue delaying things??
I pre-ordered one from amazon.fr. (france) And even though it had been displaying coming soon (even now) on their website, I received a confirmation email today that it had been shipped.
I tracked it, and it is already in Peterborough, UK, and will be delivered here to me in London on Saturday.
During the pre order, it dropped to 230 euro for the leather-band then went back up, and they honored it..
£193.33 not bad.
Also, saw on reddit that you can use a 15mm pin and just carefully alter your own strap
well.... mine arrive today so....
Oh thats amazing news! how long ago did you pre order! Just ordering from amazon france now...

I pre-ordered on the 26th of November, then I contacted them via email in english and asked if they have stock due before christmas, otherwise I'd have to look for an alternative. They said they don't have a date but they would bump me up the queue.
Hope this helps

Oh perfect! Just emailed them now and am hoping to get a response soon .
Thank you
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon fr (no 3rd party sellers) on 17th of this month... the status is still 'coming soon' and my chanses of getting it until the 24th are getting slim, despite amazon saying they can guarantee a delivery before xmas with fast shipping.. Now it's been 4 days and i haven't received any shipping confirmation email yet .. I've also selected fast shipping!.. Is there a way to contact them? Any detail would be appreciated!!

yes.. I use google translate to help me navigate to their contact us page. There is an option for email in english, use that to send them an email. I did this and they bumped me up the queue and sent me my watch already

Best of luck mate, i will update once i get a reply or the delivery.. you should probably receive it sooner than me since you ordered it a day faster..!
EDIT: I already got a kind answer from amazon fr although it's kinda uncertain.. they said it will be shipped on the "release date".. Turns out Asus also hasn't provided them with a release date either. I really start to believe that we'll get it around Q1 2017 like on the UK... Bad move Asus !

Merry christmas bud, that's some great luck! Thanks to Asus and amazon i will be spending some giftless/watch-less xmas here haha
I ordered the silver-leather one but judging from our amazon replies we will be getting it early next year
EDIT: silver-silicon band is listed as available in stock on the 28th of December...so definately it's a 1-10 January delivery
Well actually my first choice was amazon de but unfortunately didn't shipped to my country so the second choice was amazon fr.
Zenwatch 3 was top priority to me when being announced earlier September at IFA 2016 as the most beautiful and top design smartwatch released s far to my taste
But if I have to complain for something is that 3-4 days after receiving it amazon fr dropped the price from 249 to 224 for few hours discount offer and send them email that's being unfair for that of being of first one to pre order from earlier November when being list at their web page and to provide me refund the 25 euro differences but hey they refused to do that.
They told me to re order with the new price and return the first purchase but after few minutes receive the email response from them immediately they changed the price back to 249 euro.
So I missed the change to re order to the discount price.
From that prospect I'm not so pleased by Amazon fr policy and attitude.
Well that's said hope to receive yours as soon as possible.
