Diamond for sale.

Hi Guys,
I have a tri-band/edge Diamond for sale. It is not working for me here in Japan. Looking for $600 USD or BO. It is only 1 week old and in mint condition and is sim unlocked currently running Duddys latest Diamond ROM.
Any specific questions let me know. There is no GSM service here in Japan so this model wont cut it for me.
Thanks,
Ray

Sorry forgot to mention that you would need to also pay for shipping from Tokyo. About 30 bucks.
Thanks

Ordering Online
I live in Japan, and have the same access problems to the hardware you do.
I have just ordered a SIM free HD7 from Expansys HK (http://www.expansys.com.hk/)
The shipping price hurts, as the only option is FED EX which is fast but pricey.

[Q] HTC HD7 for 139 dollar?

I´m confused about amazon wireless and his Htc HD7 for 193.99 dollars.
http://wireless.amazon.com/HTC-HD7-Windows-Phone-T-Mobile/dp/B0046RERVQ/ref=sh_br_ph_2
I dont understand, because its so cheap.
Can someone explain me the Reason for this cheap price?
I´m german and if i can buy this phone for 139 dollars, i will do it or is there a problem?
Do I have to make a contract with t-mobile(its on the site) to get the phone so cheap? The site says me that they selled the phone for 549 dollar and it costs only 139 dollar. Because of that I think the phone is unlocked and I can use the phone with any sim card.
Pls help!

If you are an existing TMO USA customer they will sell it to you for $149, new TMO US customers will pay 139, if you click just phone only (no service) you are given the full price.

Yeah, I also found this pretty confusing as a non-American.
This is just a price for the phone if you renew / add a new contract to your T-Mobile account.
In the States the phone prices are independent to the contract you have whereas in South Africa (my country) the amount you pay (if any) for a phone depends on the amount you spend per month fon your contract (from $8 - $150 p/m).

thanks for help now i understand.

Import Samsung Focus S to Europe

Does someone know a online shop which will ship the Samsung Focus S to Europe??

Expansys would, they have a store for most countries. Though they are more expensive.
You can try eBay or MobileCityOnline, if they ever get stock.
I ordered mine on eBay.

would the samsung focus s work in the UK? Does automatically become unlocked?

It would not automatically become unlocked. You would need to purchase an unlock code. I trust: samsungimeiunlock.com or cellunlocker.net
Both cost around $30 USD currently.
The Focus S would work on 2G/EDGE networks after unlock as well as 3G 850/1900/2100 bands. 850/1900 are not very popular outside of N. America.
2100 is quite prevalent in many European countries. You can find a list here: http://worldtimezone.net/gsm.html
If it says 2100MHz under 3G on the same line, you might be in luck.

does anyone know if this phone would work in austria at t-mobile? how about import taxes? would i have to pay some?
thx, sam

Expansys don't have the Focus S in the Austrian store...
Ebay is also a little bit expensive...

It will work on Austrians 3G networks without problems...
Import taxes are usually around 20% in Austria from Item+Shipping that would be around 130$ (~100€)for a focus if you pay 650$
If your lucky the customs won't check your package, than you get away without customs duty

Cheapest Unlock I've found
Bought mine on eBay for $430+$10 shipping.
On cellunlock(dot)net with "android50" coupon code it costs 19.99 CAD (Canadian $), where as the normal price is CAD 39.99.

uncloking imported cell
Hi guys! I am coming from a Galaxy S and going to switch to WP. Since I live in Chile I have to import the Focus S, so I have an important but noob question on unlocking.
When I bought my SGS it was already unlocked so I just had to insert my local sim, start rooting and flashing. But now I'm going to buy a AT&T Focus S, so I don't really know if I need an AT&T sim card in order to sim-unlock it from pages like prounlocking or similar and/or using any sort of app or flash-like procedure.
thanks in advance! it would be really hepful for me!

thanks! But I was planning to buy it locked and unlocking it myself so could save a few bucks (actually, like 150 USD)

You don't need at&t sim card, just insert your own, it will ask for unlock code, you dial it, it unlocks and that's it

I bought a Focus S AT&T locked of E-Bay, and had it shipped here to the Netherlands.
It was locked, and purchased an unlock code from:
http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com/samsung-focus-s-unlock
Working fine, unlock was delivered within 15 minutes.

I made the same that Demian_ii but I order to send to Spain

Imported it into the UK as an unlocked phone and just updated the software to 8107(?). It runs absolutely fine on T-Mobile in the UK. Good data speeds when out and about. I would like to enable wireless tethering/hotspotting if possible. Still looking into it.
I'm pretty happy with it, but not sure I'm that happy with the Gmail integration or Facebook integration (I guess this is now more about WP7 than the Focus S).
I might consider selling it on, I'm still giving it a chance, but I'm missing a lot of the functionality that Android finally got which WP7 is sadly lacking

[Q] Purchasing a One in the UK

Hi all,
I am travelling to the UK this summer (I live in Israel), and after making great use out of my Desire for almost 3 years, I feel it's time for an upgrade. Now, I have checked a number of shops that offer the phone, however the prices vary by about £10-£20 (Clove, Handtec, Phones4U - even O2, but it's SIM locked for 12 months). So I'm at a loss as to where to order from. Maybe Amazon.co.uk?
After purchasing the device, does anyone know whether or not I can claim VAT back (due to not living in the EU)? That would save a few extra £'s..
I am also concerned about the network bands it uses - I think the one I need is the 801n (900/2100 3G) - do all vendors in the UK sell this particular variant? Also, is this rumour about a 64GB device even worth holding my breath for? 32GB could definitely be more than enough...
Finally, warranty - if anything happens (touch wood that it doesn't), would sending the device via airmail back to the UK be sufficient for warranty purpose? Or is it void if I live outside of the UK?
Many thanks for all help provided

I do not know about the other questions, but you will not be able to claim VAT back in the UK. I believe the UK is the only country you cannot do that in; I have done it in France, Sweden, Germany and some others, but not in the UK. One question, though, how are you going to buy a device that is sim locked for 12 months, or in other words, how are you going to buy a contract-locked device if you do not actually live there? Wouldn't they require green cards, credit cards, proof of residence and such? Or at least that's how it was with AT&T and the iPhone.

Well I figured that the pay&go offer meant you didn't need an address..
Regardless, the vat and sim locked version are the last of my worries compared to the other questions.

Most of the sellers you have listed sell sim unlocked versions of the One but I don't know how the prices compare to those you have.
I have purchased phones from both Handtec (online) and Carphone Warehouse (in store) and always pay for sim unlocked.
As to the model the ones available in the UK will be the M7-UL 801n which is the international variant and should be fine for most of the world but you will need to check the frequencies available before purchase.

Hey again..
I just checked, and it seems that MobiCity have a UK website selling the 801S version, as well as a 64GB version!? :huh:
Does this even make sense? That's the Australian/Asian version AFAIK..
