Hi everyone!
I'm interested on buy this PDA, after a couple hours of search on the web I discover the alibaba(www.alibaba.com) it's also like ebay...So, i search on alibaba and found a lot of companies(most in china) solding HTC TyTN II.The company that maybe i choose to buy are Putian Hengwang Trade Co., Ltd.(http://hencan.en.alibaba.com/)there you will find a lot of mobile phones.I entered in contact with the sales manager and he told me the price of tytn II is $420 + $30 to send in Brazil.
Has anyone with some experience on buy products from chinaa?About this Company?Can I trust on her?Any information will be helpfull
I'm so crazy on buy the TyTN II, but my ded will not let me buy on expansys +-$800 + 60% of taxes
Thanks!!
Certainly does NOT look like a company I would trust.
I wouldn't trust that company... I mean, look at their "Products" section... they're selling shoes, jackets and handbags along with the phones and mp3 players. Don't get lured by a cheap price.
Don't do it, my friend bought a FAKE Samsung i718 from one of those companies (found on Alibaba)
well, i think think and think and i will buy htc tilt, its the same of tytn II but it doesn't have the frontal camera. on ebay i found +- $500,00. On the begining fo March I will put my hand on tilt!!!!
Thanks to asking my questions!!!!!!!!
Resist the temptation to buy the HTC's in China. There are too many copy-cat and "lost in production" items.
And do not forget that you do not buy a PSP or PMP if you want to use it for watching movies (untill a fix is out)
Good luck
afaik, HTC is still called Dopod here. I am working somewhere near Shanghai and none of my friend recognize the HTC on my kaiser until I told them it's same as Dopod.
Sure that you only want the TyTN II but not an at&t Tilt? You intend to make/receive a lot of video calls? If not, go ebay for Tilt and you'll save bunch of money over TyTN II. In additional, discuss w/ sellers if (s)he can declare it as a GIFT to void the import tax. 60% is highway robberries!
Funnies thought a bout China website.
Where the heck are Forty Thieves? Does it sell stuffs from thieves? That's really ridiculous name even though it's very popular in China and its CEO wants to beat google. Goodluck to another day-dreamer! LOL
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

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

Hi Irus,

After 20 years, I finally will be visiting my place of birth again, Hongkong.
I am planning a two day trip somewhere in july, and I'd like to buy some stuff for the HD2, but I'm not familiar in HK.
I did some googling about places to shop for electronics, and came accros something like 'golden computer arcade' and 'sham shui po'. And Shenzen, is that still hongkong or is it mainland china and do i need other visa for it?
There are a few things I'd like to look out for, and if someone who lives in HK can point me out where the buy such stuff, I'd be happy.
1
32Gb microSD. These baby's are available already, but too expensive right now. Do they sell these baby's in HK? And what is their average price? It doesn't needs to be Sandisk per se, any other brand will do. Also, class doesn't matter either, it's just about the storage. And a little bit of quality of course.
2
A decent headset with in ear phones, with music control and maybe some other functions like volume rocker etc. Can be wired or BT. I listen to music occasionaly so I don't need the high end stuff.
3
Does something exists like a bluetooth memorystick/device? for example, some 16gb flash drive, running on a penlite (or two) and have bluetooth that supports for file transfers? Imagine a small size bt memorystick that you can easily cary in your pockets.
4
I'd like to buy a tablet device, but don't want an iPad (too expensive, too locked down, and too Apple) But a KIRF running android or so. Something like this:
http://www.clonedinchina.com/2010/0...clone-packs-1ghz-arm-cortex-a8-processor.html
or this:
www.clonedinchina.com/2010/04/epad-looks-like-a-bigger-iphone-priced-at-394.html
There are a lot of KIRFS and i don't care how they look like. Just need a decent tablet with updated OS and some horsepower on the cheap.
Usage at home, need web browsing, media player, some basic games and voip support.
Any suggestions from someone who lives in HK?
5
Spare parts for HD2, like lcd screen, digitizer, housing etc. Just in case that the best wm6.5 ever made suddenly dies on me.
I bought some adina batteries from ebay, shipped from hongkong, 3 euro's a piece and it still works fine for me.
I know that there are a lot of stuff out there that I actually have to check out myself, but since I will be just two days in HK, I think í'll be too short on time to find shops that offer pretty reliable items. I know that almost everything is a counterfeit, but I don't care about it to much, as long as it works.
I will be editing this post more often the following days, because I want to buy my HD2 some little presents .
Anyone who has a suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks guys.
i am not sure what it is called, but where the markets are in kowloon, the streets running parallel to that should have what you want. one street is electronics, the next is sporting goods and so on. i have never seen so many phone stores in my life. there are also electronic stores spread all over the place in kowloon ranging from the market type shops (ps3 games etc)to large retail types that have everything (kind of like harvey norman) sorry i cant help with names as it has been a few years since i was there, but it is electronics heaven over there. would love to go back also.

Very good list. And please contact me when you are there. I'd be willing to buy from you when u get back. HD2 parts and any phone parts are great investments from HK. Soak it up, soak. it. up.

I might be able to bring something back, depending the item ofcourse. I don't know if i'll be able to contact you when I'm in HK, it's just a two day trip and data roaming may be mighty expensive. That's why I'm depending on people who live in HK and know the stuff we just might need for the HD2 and tell us what is available.
If you come back with some ideas where to buy stuff and how much it cost it would be nice. I have friends, that travel to HK very often. But they are young women with no sense for tech, and they also will not be able to check hundred stores for me. But I would have any idea, how expensive is for example HD2 in HK I can send them to buy it for me

Hi. i go to HK at least once a year (my wife is from HK) and i advise you not to go to the shops in TST/kowloon as they will rip you off!!!!!.....go to mong kok there is a great shopping centre there that is just for mobile phones its great! and is very big (three floors i think)...i can get an exact address for you from the wifes brother as he still lives in HK. i also know the "golden computer arcade" but its small compared to the one im talking about and sham shui po is more for computer components etc. the mobile phone centre i mentioned sells all sorts of spares and accessories for phones but i was there about 5 months ago and because the hd2 was only just released the was no spare parts available but im sure by now there will be many!!!!! as you asked shenzen is in mainland china (the town on the HK - China border) you will need a visa if youve got a european or us passport...i think i paid 800hk$..But that was for a multi entry 3 month visa so you could probably get a cheaper single entry visa.....
I hope this answers your questions.....if you want the address for the phone shopping centre...just reply to me and i will get it fot you!
Edit......heres the link to show the address for the phone centre

hope this helps!

Thanx for the info. I do believe mongkok is a better place to bargain about the price. But i also think that Shenzen is even better considering price ranges, that's what i've read on the web.
http://www.hkstreet.com/story0101j.htm
The above article says that you can pay with HK Dollars in Shenzhen. Does this still aply, because another article says it's not. And none of those articles mentions when they were there.
I've really set my mind on buying a tablet. Any recommandations?
How expensive could HD2 be in HK?

are there many differences between mongkok and shenzhen?
sweet i am coming to hong kong at the end of June for a week and would want to buy an HD2. However I need the Telstra T9193 version. Would Mongkok (and/or) Shenzhen sell such a product?
Don't go to Shenzhen. Shenzhen is in mainland China and not in HK although it's not very far and there they sell mostly China-made copied/look-alike phones/gadgets not the real deal unless u think those fakes are fun.
Mongkok is a good place to go and you can also find good stuff & accessories in the Wanchai Computer Mall on the HK Island side (on Henessary Road right next to the Wanchai MTR station and the Southorn sportsground).

this post is very useful, , go to the commercial podium, take the mtr to mong kok , then exit d1 , walk straight forward ,then about 150 meters on your left you will find the commercial podium , the hd2 price is now starting from 4200-5200, i saw most of the time in different shop 4600( should be the uk version) 4200 for chinese version . shenzen you will find most copy there .
Momax battery for HD2. I have 2 of them and they work well.

I like to look and feel what copies and other counterfeits are all about.
Since i need a simple MID, running android, to read books, browse internet and watch movies, i thought, it does not matter much what brand it is.
What I like to know is, is it true that SEG has more stuff that the shops around mongkok?
Lastly, the most stupid question of the world:
Can i buy buy parts to assemble my own tablet? Or even assemble my own HD3 with 5" capacitive display and running Tegra 2? Just out of curiousity
Do they sell for example complete SBC with a variety kind of chips, hook up an LCD of your choice and let them flash any OS onto it?
You going there for two days?? or did i missed anything?
im heading there late July for 5 weeks asia trip but probably a week in HK (visit relative) tho cuz im heading to Shanghai, Beijing (relative), Thai and VietNam (relative) as well
Yes our family tree are everywhere hahaha (TW, Australia, Holland, France, US, NewZealand, Philippines and Malaysia) dont ask me how

I've rescheduled my flight, now I'm going three days. yayh... I will be there from july 15 till july 17. I'm planning to stay somewhere near mongkok or nathan road, so when i jump out of bed in the morning, i'll rush out of the hotel, have some pork dumplings and go shopping.
Still, I want to go to shenzhen. Can somebody tell me if I can pay with HKD in Shenzhen?
How unfortunate.
In my op is wrote that I would get some spare parts for the HD2, if it would die on me one day. Well, it just happened to be today.
My daughter dropped it and the screen is broken.
The upper left part of the screen is pitch black, while the rest remains visible and functional. Even multi touch still works.
So I've dissasmbled the whole thing and even placed the HD2 in a preheated oven of 50 degrees, let it there for 10 minutes (as a punishement) and could easily remove the digitizer from it. But is seems the LCD has cracked too, so I'm off to buy a complete new lcd with digitizer. Anyone in HK that can tell me where to get these in HK? Ofcourse, it needs to fit, unlike some other parts I once bought for the n95, it didn't fit at all. Ofcourse, I will bring my HD2 with me, maybe they can fix it for me there on the cheap. I've already disassembled the whole freak.
I'm not going to buy a replacement HD2 since the HD3 will be out within 6 months or so.
So, HK guys, if you have some time, check it out for me, okay?
If you happen to pass by a shop, check it out for me, will ya?
Thanx in advance.
FYI I bought a HD2 in sham shui po last month near the golden computer centre for HKD4590.
I know alot of the places it quite expensive around 850 usd. and online its only 700-725
does anyone know of a store that you could buy it in person closer to the online price?
there are so many places here i dont even know where to start looking, any experienced HK shopping help would be appreciated.
or even a buy online and in-store pickup. i just want to make sure i can check the screen and if all is good so i dont have to deal with shipping it back and fourth.
thanks.
If you're shopping in Hong Kong for electronics you're probably best off staying away from Mong Kok and all the major shopping centers - they're looking for foreigners to fleece. Make sure you have a solid idea of how much you can buy it for online, then be prepared to haggle. They won't give you the price you want right off the bat, so be prepared to walk away. Most will call you back to negotiate.
At the end of the day, I found it was best to buy from eBay (ironically shipped from Singapore) and avoid the games they play at the Hong Kong Electronics markets. Also, the exchange rate fluctuates and you could end up losing money just converting to HKD.

i understand ebay is the cheapest the reason i want to get it in store is so i can view the screen and make sure its good, i have friends here in HK i can shop back for warranty but would rather not.
and considering almost EVERYONE reports a screen problem id rather pay 50 bux more and know its ok.
so if you or anyone have an actual suggestion for a place to go that would be awesome.

i am still asking about an actual physical store
not an online store, i know it can be gotten online.
does anyone know of the cheapest store in HK that would see it so i can look at it before buying?
AHAH! i finally found a place that shows in-store prices and seems to be about usd 715-750
here is this site
http://www.price.com.hk/
you can compare many stores so i could check out the device in store before buying it.
I played with and eventually bought my Note a few days ago at Fortress, Melbourne Plaza, Queens Rd, Central. (Near Central MTR). I'm pretty sure you could do the same in all the Fortress stores as they have big mobile display areas.
It's pretty trustworthy as it's a major chain, but as such you don't get the larger discounts you might be able to track down in Mongkok. Mine was $5998 HKD.
