Where to get the 4-1 Cable other than Expansys

I live in Singapore and would like to buy the 4-1 cable for my new Dopod U1000. I looked at the Expansys page and discovered that it costs UKP13.x and the international shipment costs UKP22.x ... I really don't want to pay UKP22.x shipment for something that costs less... I am assuming HTC makes this cable as well in Taiwan. Can it be sourced there? I happen to be flying to Taipei on Monday for business. Thanks for your help.

MobilePlanet in US also carries it but its even worse :
Cable costs US$ 23.95
Shipping costs US$ 79.95
Please an Asian source???

maybe you can ask people in US or UK to buy it for you then post it to you

Only international shipping option on these sites are 3-4 day DHL etc and hence the price. Given all this hardware is made somewhere in Asia I can't believe there is no where I can source this item...
wu5262, with your close links to HTC, can you confirm whether this cable is made by them in Taiwan or OEM'med somewhere out of mainland China etc?
Thanks & Best Regards

these cables are made by a Taiwanese Company, but i think the warehouse is in China

Thanks for the insight. Are they available in any shop in Taipei?

http://www.katshing.se/prod/prod.asp?aid=15307&ref=prisjakt 3 599 SEK = 545,34 $ = 374,82 €

@goolpone: It also depends on where do you come from: Africa, Asia, Usa, Europe? ;-)

geaerally? eBay my friend.

I'm italian, is there any body who want to sell his/her s730?.. i need 2 devices for $500/$520.. sameone?..

I found many people selling it through "second hand" stores in our country. Try to do the same with google focused on your country area with keywords / sell HTC s730 price / of course in your native language (sell, price).

So you want someone to sell you 2 phones that retail for around $500-550 new for the price of one? The European model has only been out for a few months and AFAIK not picked up by networks yet.
I think you need to either set your price higher or wait for network upgrades to filter on the market. It's when people get 'free' or heavily subsidised phones they don't need that second-hand deals start becoming attractive.
But good luck!

Sure hope thats each, unless someone got theirs for free no one would sell two for what they payed for one, and if it was a pre - prod unit...

but there are not carreer like vodafone, o2, cingular that sell it for a contract? and sameone that coul resell it? i know it's possible and yet done

Did you try my recommendation? I found the second hand phones (one month old = warranty) on 500 dollars level in CZ. I think that in your country you will find the same. There are many people disillusioned by RAM, ATI drivers, GPS lacks.

For a new phone such as this, you'd perhaps be better off trying on ebay

Do not forget that price on ebay is sometimes "penalized" by paying also the TAX and VAT to your custom.

My S730 is brandnew and im already so fed up with it.
Im going to sell it on ebay in the comming days.
I will also post the link to the auction on this forum for you to use.

It means that you are not satisfied by s730 and you will switch to different producer? As f.e. jocky.d? If yes, I have some favorites.

share your favorites then roomish....as I too am getting annoyed with my S730 and ebay is calling

It is so pitty - S730 could be so cool smartphone.
Well my favorites:
Asus P750 - although it has only 64MB - the free memory is about 20MB, the phone is handy sized
iPAQ 614c - very cheap, little bigger
I-mate 8502 - qwerty keyboard
All models are on the market only few days.

I've only had this thing since last week and I think I'm going to return it. The memory leak is horrible, not to mention there isn't enough of it to begin with. If I browse to a non-mobile url using IE, the browser closes since there isn't enough memory! The keyboard is slow and if I type fast, misses letters and I have to go back. A few times I have placed calls and they route through the speaker phone even though I haven't activated it and the entire phone locks up. Don't buy this phone, it sucks. I should have bought a Tytn II, at least then I would have working GPS.

I was after something a little smaller but with features.....
I liked the size of my old C600 but obviously you get more the bigger you get :s
and does anyone want to buy an S730?

Best price thread...

So, where did you buy yours and where's hte best price atm?

Same date £1 cheaper
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1263/htc-touch-diamond
Not a lot in it i know but i use these guys and they are good . Not saying play aren't just I would recomend them as never had a problem

Not same date - handtec 19th, play 9th. If that's true it's worth the £1
R

I ordered it at http://www.smartphonestunts.nl. They claim to have it on the 6th of june for €515.- which is oprox £408.75.
That's a little cheaper, but that could be a tax difference ;-)

Do these companies actually know things, or are they just making up the date and price? I'd like to think that they know something, but the vast range of dates and prices out there are making me think otherwise...

anyone know the release date for T-Mobile in the UK? some places saying june others july...
im due my upgrade!!

in hong kong offcial retail price is annouced US$600.

Can get that much cheaper, € 476,76 at http://pdas.centralpoint.nl

Yep looking at the Price difference you know why we call it rip off UK . Dont even get me started with petrol prices lol

I don't know if you are aware but petrol prices in France are almost the same/if not more than the UK. Most places are currently selling petrol for €1.55 a litre, and with the poor exchange rate, this comes to a startling £1.23 a litre which is more than most UK garages.
I'm not disagreeing with you regarding rip off britain, just making sure you know the facts!

Price change

Hello all,
I was about to buy the product, however, expansys-usa.com increased their pricing by 70 dollars for the TD2 . I remember It used to be 539.99 now its 609.99. Does anyone know why....
Thanks

If I may add another question:
Do you think that the price of the device is going to get cheaper when other big phones come later this year? Like Palm pre and the new iphone?

No unfortunately.
The original touch pro hasn't dropped much in price in the UK, it's still around 500 pounds from Clove. The TD2 is cheaper!

I was just about to buy the phone from Expansys UK! yesterdays price was £384 and now todays its gone up to £410....now whats all that about?!?

Supply & Demand, maybe?

Price in EU (<€1200 now).

It's now sub 1200 Euros in Germany, if you look around a bit. Nearing 1100 in a few places.
Price has cratered harder and faster than any phone in living memory.
Samsung must be pumping these out of the factory pretty quickly, and not intending for new models to take as long as Fold 1 to Fold 2.
I can see this going below 1000 around Black Friday, and definitely by the New Year. If it's not already replaced by the end of Q1 '21, I'd imagine the phone might see significant development and community involvement, below 1k.

You're insane.

Really, care to explain why? Lowest retail price has dropped over 700 Euros in less than 2 months.
Samsung are well known for front-loading pricing, and quickly tapering it to distributors and wholesalers, but it's never been quite like this. The device is clearly intended to sell in volume, and not be the flagship for anything like as long as the Fold 1.
Re: development, plenty of 800-1200 Euro devices see lots of development.

Some links as evidence of brand new / unused prices as per your post?

The €1200 price you mention is a scam. No one is getting the phone for that price.

In the next two days I am going to buy a brand new in box Z Fold2 for €1.000 or less in Germany.
Not from a shop (several are offering them for €1.150 already) granted, but in Germany a lot of Z Fold2 have been included in a subscription renewal package where people just keep their current phone and monetize the Z Fold2.
I see the prices going down almost daily. It's a simple matter of supply and demand.
Check out https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/
The same thing happened with previous Samsung flagships.
LG devices also depreciate very quickly, but that is because noboby wants them and LG has to lower the RRP to sell them.

I know it's probably a foreign concept, but supply chains and retail channels are relatively competitive in Europe .. particularly Germany.
Probably seems unreal to you when informal price fixing in a hugely non-competitive market rules in the US ... and you just got a Verizon Fold 2 for $$$$$$$$$$, with no hope of waiting for discounts.
Why do you think anyone with a clue in the US buys from European retailers? Price including tax in Europe (which you don't pay) is usually much cheaper than price excluding tax at US retailers, save for Apple. That's what no competition does.
And now you're mad and refuse to believe anything.

Those are pretty much all either used or branded / locked to a network.
Show me a link to a commercial seller who sells sim free new sealed box Fold2 including full 2 year official Samsung warranty ... if you can't then just delete this thread

Not true, as I have explained most of them are new in wrapped box with full Samsung European warranty.
And as far as I know no German provider sells these branded and/or SIMlocked.

I don't think any contract phones have been branded / locked for 5-6 years in DE ... and he appears to be implying these are secondhand contract phones. I'm not even sure heavily subsidised pay as you go phones are branded anymore.
Lowest retail price for sealed NIB Fold 2 in DE is 1149.99 today. It has been lower. Trend is still downwards quickly though.

I bought one of these z fold 2 of Germany.
1215€ and came sealed... I activated Samsung care+
I dont know the reason of the low prize of those phones, but are real and legal.

At the beginning I thought it was not real, but it cames everything brand new and the price with the discount of 50€ you can get it for 1.215€.

I bought this Fold 2 for one month ago too in Germany ebay kleinanzeigen 1350 Euro) . some people buy buissness phone cards with a fold 2 and they sell the fold 2 and use the phone card.
Now it is sometimes a little bit cheaper but ok .... I use it for over a month now and I love this phone ! So great stuff Samsung did here ...

You can buy these used for around $1400 US off of Ebay (which is around 1250 Euro, which is what I see it for on the German eBay site). Hoping for a slight bit more of a price drop from Black Friday, but I noticed that Samsung is still selling it for its original price, and they've dropped the price of trade ins by around $200.

I don't know why anyone would have paid full price in the US as it was on sale the opening day at every possible outlet and you would have had to literally give them more money than they were asking for the device in order to pay MSRP; I paid 1600 directly from Samsung's site on pre-order for the unlocked variant and others did better. Day one the latest greatest is always going to be more expensive than it will be just a short time later; you all know that, I'm not telling you something you didn't know. You do need to put it on a level playing field though, you can't compare the MSRP here to the actual price somewhere else at a different time, you have to compare actual price at the same specific time in order to get a valid comparison.

I'm looking to buy it again, and I'm not seeing all these great deals. Samsung's site is $1999, unless you trade in a device. The deals on eBay are ok for a used device, but not great. Amazon has some refurbs for $300 off, which is ok, but again, it's a refurb, to which they only promise that you won't notice a problem "holding it at arm's length". I haven't seen any sign of a new unit coming down in price from $2k.

Be very wary of purchasing a phone tied to a network contract.
These phones may get blacklisted a few months down the line if the original owner doesn't pay the bill, or if they have insurance and claim a month or two later that it has been lost or stolen.
... I know this from experience ... you could end up with a 1000 euro "tablet" that cannot use a sim card anywhere in EU

It's good advice, and I am worried about it. I see a number of devices for sale that say they're on a contract. Kind of terrifying that someone decides to switch providers and suddenly my phone is blacklisted.
Starting to hope for a Black Friday sale!
