Getting one FROM USA (to Europe)?

Hello people.
First of all is it available in the States?
Second, if it is, will a Kaiser bought from the States work ok here in Europe and with my provider? (or if not, is there an unlock for this yet?)
A friend is going to the States so if #1 and #2 above are ok, I might try to take advantage of the currency rates.
Thanks.

i might be wrong, but i thought that the kaisers in the states are imported from europe anyways

This is correct. All U.S. Kaisers are European imports at the moment.

Good Place to pick one up.
Try MobileCityOnline.com they have nothing but European Kaisers that include TomTom and have no issues registering on the HTC site for future support! I highly recommend them!

ok people, thanks, I'll look into it

frm india AND NEED THE DIAMOND2 BADLY PLS HELP

hi frm india and i wanna get the diamond2 but its not gonna be released here for a long time so planning to get it from some other country
SO PLS TELL ME WHICH COUNTRY WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION

Europe!
I think there won't be any serious differences between the European countries...
But think of Germany, because we are the "Export-Champions".
The Touch Diamond 2 will hit the German market (ca.) at the 17th April and will cost about 450€.
take a look:

It works out cheaper to buy from the UK, if you can find someone that does international shipping. The Euro is too strong compared to the pound at the moment to make ordering from the rest of Europe worthwhile.

i too am from mumbai india abnd needed the diamond could some1 let me know when is it expected in india and if i buy it from europe will i still be able to use all features prefer buying it from here though

dude, just get it from Clove UK. they have very good ratings..

yes but will all features of a european diamond work and also during a rom update will u update it as india update or uk update since the radio and connectivity will be different

not 100% sure, but the specs of the euro diamond should essentially be the same as the ones you will get in india..check out the specs, only difference between euro and us version are the wcdma bands and as far as i know india does not have proper 3g connections yet, so why bother?
as far as updates are concerned, u will get the standard update..there is no uk/india update unless your phone is tied to a network. u can go ahead and buy the d2.

I am from India too.. i am planning to buy D2 from Clove.
But what about the excise/customs charges? How much do we have to pay to import the D2?

I think now it's 35% for personal electronic goods (Previously blanket 200%). But never know these corrupt ppl anyways. Not much personal experience.
Also Express shipping DHL are always checked unlike ordinary post which may skip thru. Also for gift items they might consider waiver (upto 10$/INR 500 worth) but not for such costly items. Never misstate the contents as it may get confiscated in addition to getting U into serious legal trouble.

i need an english import site, i dont care about the price.
also, will the gsm/3g works ?

I have pre-ordered from Expansys which has very good consumer policies ... they list the Optimus 2X for most countries and in local currency. Check it out for your country. I have ordered mine from the Singapore Expansys site for shipment to Vietnam.

I don't know if it will work on european networks, but the korean version looks different from the europe version so have a look at it before ordering.

Play.com are doing it with a slight discount

Hi,
I'm actually in `korea rightnow, have checked out some stores but if I understand correctly they only sell this phone with a SK contract.
Even the LG store couldn't sell it.
Another store owner told me they were recalled though....

[Q] Galaxy Note from China, can I buy it ?????

Hello every one
I am a french citizen living in China for one year
I am dreaming to buy a Galaxy Note, but I can buy it only in China, is someone can tell me if it will work properly when I will come back to France ?
If not is there a possibility to change the system at this moment?
Sorry but I am a novice in this matter
Thank you in advance for your help

Yes as long as you buy the GSM version. Not sure if there is some CDMA weird version for the Chinese market.

Agreed, look for the GSM bandwidths, I think the EU's on 900 and 1800.

Thank you very much for your help

Thanks again

Thank you very much for your help. i have a similar question

where are you folks planning to buy?
hey, I'm an American in Shanghai - I've been planning on buying one as well, but it seems the only choices are
a) buy a "brand-new" model, grey-market European version, 50% chance it's a refurb, but can offer local store warranty for ~3280rmb ($520 USD), or
b) buy an official, brand-new one for 4100rmb ($650 USD)
I almost pulled the trigger on the grey-market one, but it just kills me to know that I can get a brand-new NON-refurb for $500 USD through Newegg in the US... arrgh.

I bought mine on taobao from Shenzhen, 1 day shipping. I think that is safer than buyer from a store in shanghai, as the taobao sellers are selling loads of these phones.
Mine had been opened and made chinese even it is a european version. they changed some settings so you'll default to chinese language after a wipe/upgrade, and the samsung keyboard didn't work when I first good it. But after reinstalling european firmware everything is good.
I would stay away from official version because of price and I'm also not sure if all google services work on those.

Moved To Q&A​
Please post all questions in the Q&A section​

Be careful - there are now clones:

yeah - the quote I had for ~3300 was from a taobao seller with a brick 'n mortar store. At least there's somewhere to go if the thing is borked. The "warranty" is through the store and not samsung, but at least they know where (taobao!) to source screens/mobo and claim to give 2 years replacement service should anything go wrong. still might pull the trigger on it... unless one of my friends goes back to the states in the next couple of weeks.
Did your seller offer any kind of warranty?

Hong Kong HTC One LTE in UK?

Hey,
I've come across a pretty cheap HTC One in Hong Kong during my holiday, they are selling it for just over 800USD. Will LTE still work in the UK (where I live) if I get the Hong Kong version?
To my knowledge, the radio frequency in HK should be similar if not the same to the ones in UK.
http://goo.gl/QXKfu
The image above shows that the asian version having pretty much all the bandwidths as the UK one. Will the missing 1 bandwidth affect me?
Cheers,
big_me

EE is using 1800MHz, so it should be fine. You'll likely have to pay for HTCs worldwide warranty though, which is probably about 30 quid if you need to claim from the UK, and may mean it takes longer to fix.
Where did you see it?

EE is 1800mhz, what is three (Hutchinson) ?
and I saw it in this sketch mall called 'Sinciere Podium'.

Three don't have LTE yet, but they bought a bunch if 800MHz spectrum, so they'll probably use that.

youll be missing out alot without 800mhz

Cheers guys,
Guess i'll just wait till i get back to the UK then.

when you said 800USD was it american dollars or hong kong dollars?

Well it was 4980hkd which is roughly 800us dollars.
Thought I'd put the US equivalent since the majority of people on xda seem to prefer USD...
