Price change - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

$400 a good price for a brand new unlocked 8125?

got it off ebay (free shipping) just wondering if i got the average deal or not
They seem to go for between $330 and $390 on the US site, just do a search for 8125, select phones only and show completed items only. In saying that, not all of them are new, but quite a few claim to be at least. $400 looks to be top end of the market price, but if you're happy with the phone and can afford the asking price then just enjoy it and don't go window shopping after the purchase, it can and usually will lead to disappointment, since you will always find something cheaper after you've handed over your money.
^ good point lol. buyers remorse sucks
btw i love the 8125.. my first HTC phone (first PPC at that) and it most definately wont be my last.
Definitely on the top end range to pay $400. You should try craigslist.org in your area. I just bought a brand new 8125 for $280 last month via craigslist. I met with the seller and fully inspected the item before I bought it. So less risk and much cheaper than ebay. Something to try on your next purchase.
Hi
If you sing up for a 2 yr plan with Cingular or T-Mobile...you can get the MDA/8125 free after rebate from www.letstalk.com

Almost one year old post
You were fooled (as i was too) by the new automatic sorting of the forum; threads are being sorted by the title instead of the date.
I bet a mod or an admin touched somewhere he shouldn't have and still didn't notice.
???
wow I paid $249 + $9 ship earlier this year in Janurary. Absolute mint condition, there were lots of 45 at a time. I'd think prices have since dropped and will really drop when iphone releases in a couple days?? If you paid over $300 since then that sucks... : \

@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

Selling ATT Tilt?

I was wondering how much should I ask while selling my Tilt? I have the original box and papers that come with the box. No marking of any sorts, the device looks brand new. I still have all the original plastic covering that comes with the phone. So how much should I be asking?
jb
It's been unlocked and Hardspl with Olif. I have on there now Sleuth v3.0 ROM installed (WM 6.1).
Oh it also comes with a 512mb Sandisk card and a case.
a few more. PM with a decent offer. I would guess shipping for something this small would be like 10 dollars or so, possibly 20 for overnight shipping through FEDEX or UPS.
No one interested?
$200 probably a good price.. There are folks at ebay selling new units for below $350..
I would be interested however I just got the iPhone to play with .... You can not beat the iPhone price from AT&T. I do also have 3 Tilts that my family members use, and they are almost new. Your best bet is eBay and hopefully someone from overseas bids on it since your best client would be outside USA; The Tilt is cheap here in the States as you might have seen.
Anyways. I think you might be able to get $200.00 for it.
I'll take it for $200. Message me and we can talk.
Thongvilay, have a nice day. Do you shipping from Brazil, if yes, how much? Acept $230+shipping (paypal)? Another question, this unit have RLoD? Have a nice day!
PM sent guys.
Is your Tilt still for sale
Do you still have your tilt up for sale?
Hello Currytrek, I am the newest owner of that tilt. Now it's just I hope it arrives here in Brazil :-D!!

How much would you say this phone is worth right now?

Assuming it is in near-perfect cosmetic condition, how much would you say this phone is worth (sim-free), in £ (GBP)?
Or in other words, how much should I pay for it at, at most.
I will use it to its full potential and more.
Thanks guys. I want to come back and play with Windows Mobile a a bit before it's all but killed - I have the chance because of work.
about 200 i would say?
well,
www.envirofone.com offered me £93 for my X1. and mine is in perfect condition as ive had so many replacements this unit is not that old
i'd say £150
If you got to http://mobilevaluer.com/ you can get Royal Mail Simply Drop* £98
it was about 105 the other day so its gone down and i've been watching ebay recently and most used X1's are going for about £150
there still going on play.com for £299.99 and ebay for £200.depends wether its unlocked tho
£160 I would say, I have seen them new for £229
used: 130 pounds
I bought a brand new one of ebay for £167 inluding postage and original invoice which I think is really good. As much as the phone annoyed me with the cracks I wanted to get another phone as I really did enjoy my time with the xperia.
I have seen brand new ones go for £150 - £180 second hand ones in used condition £125-£140 I would spend the extra £20 and get a newer one.

when is good time to buy Note 8 for a bit lower price?

hi all,
I want to purchase Note 8, but it seems to much expensive for my budget. Even though with free gifts (which you can resell) if you add up taxes, it will come up the same.
What you guy think, lets say if i wait 2-3 months the price will really drop ( I am wiling to wait until the end of year if it make sense )?
One possible scenario is they may drop the price a little bit, but also discontinue gift option, which no make sense for me.
Does anyone aware of recent dynamics, based on previous Galaxy models, lets say S8 or so?
Or , does price really drops on Black friday?
Thanks in advance.
I got my note 5 at Sam's on a preblack Friday for a $1 a few years ago

I suggest this will depend on where you live and how you make your purchase and what you are prepared to gamble.
In my country there are zero 'contract' sales. we all have to buy our mobiles at top price. There is also a sales price that all outlets maintain meaning regardless where one buys, it will be the same price, don't ask it makes zero business sense to me either. Having said that the law, in theory, protects consumers. If we don't like the purchase we have 20 days to return for a full refund. Warranty problems are generally taken care off. In other words its a relatively 'safe' place to buy a mobile.
I am paying 1,020.00€ for the Note 8. My SGS8+ cost 920.00€ , 100.00€ difference but if I take into account the free DEX offer, worth 150.00€ here, my Note 8 is cheaper than the S8+!
Now we go to the 'open market'. This can be a gamble and a nightmare. Sure you may get what you consider a bargain as many did with their Note 7 purchase from Dubai BUT when the woopsie hit the fan while I got a full refund on the spot TWICE for both iterations, those who bought from some other countries got stuffed. Not all but too many for comfort.
My point is you will get what you pay for. With an expensive purchase like this I use a reputable international outlet, FNAC, and am relatively well looked after. If I choose to do so I could also buy from, say Dubai and save tax etc but....
Amazon CAN BE a good purchase outlet BUT Amazon are using more and more third party sellers and many of those are not based in Europe meaning they are sent from China or where ever and that causes massive import problems here. IF one can purchase an Amazon sourced product that is sold by a vendor within Europe one can, after a small time frame, find the price of such items reduced. Again such reductions can mean grey imports etc. Check the sellers Amazon profile.
For me I pay top price in this country in the city I live near from a reputable outlet and sleep well at night. Not everyone is the same though, thank heavens.
Take care with such purchases its not the initial purchase than can be the problem, the problem is IF the mobile is a brick are you safe in getting a replacement under warranty etc blah blah. You pay your money you accept your choice.
Last point being how long are you willing to wait? Most of us here are techno nuts who want this device yesterday! No way would the majority of my peers here be willing to wait even an extra day to save a euro!

hi Ryland,
thanks for taking your time and replying me back.
The main point of this question is, if I wait 3-4 months will price drop ? I know it is hard to tell, but based on other models dynamics what you think?
Or lets say, if it drop just 150$ and no more free stuff , it means no make sense to wait...
I completely share your opinion that it is worth to buy from local authorized resellers...
I am located in USA..
3 to 4 months is a good time.. With s8 plus the prices fell a decent amount in 3 months..
I am on the same boat.. I want to buy a career device may be even used one. I m in Canada

yes, thats what I was thinking. Same here, I dont mind to buy a used one. Crossing fingers for battery not to go bad
Lets say how much S8 droped its initial price. I believe when it released, they were giving some extra stuff too, right? If the price just drop about same amount as gift and now dropped price option is withouit gift, it means there is no real drop, in that case no make sense to wait 12+ (3-4) months
In a couple of months you'll be able to get Note 8's off ebay at discounted prices as people will sell who've received free upgrades etc. Also set up Pricespy alerts online. Sometimes sellers offer 10% off deals for instance so you should find something in a few weeks. And of course it depends how successful it is!

exactly. I don't think the DEX thing is a good promotion either and obviously no one is buying it and they've a huge stock to dispose of (otherwise why not reduce the price of the phone and make it more attractive). Companies generally won't allow USB devices to connect to laptops and I don't have a screen or keyboard at home as got 2 tablets and a smart tv. There will be loads of DEX for sale for £40 soon as people realise its not getting used.

Mmmm, A lot of what you write holds water however I think the DEX, worth 150€ here, is a very nice free offer. I have no interest in the DEX despite being addicted to gadgets and tech toys, I do understand though that the DEX certainly has appeal to a wide range of other users and is one very clever set up.
I would not have bought the DEX simply because I have zero use for it and even though tempted I just knew it would end up in a draw collecting dust. As one is coming free I will try it out then after let it collect dust in a draw.
Just as a foot note the DEX is selling very well here and its been difficult to even find one in stock in any outlet. I guess such hardware sales will vary from country to country though. :good:

so i have my internet through Xfinity it is kind of required as far as i know. but go to https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/
and you pick the device and the "pay by the gig plan" cause then they dont charge you for data unless you use it. and go from there the note is like 32 bucks they have a protection plan for 12 more also. and after all of it you pay the 1st month payment on the phone (32) and the taxes (mine came to 67 bucks) so a total of 102 bucks give or take for me to preorder the Note8.
Hard to beat Verizon + Best Buy offer! $12.75/mo for 24 months is outstanding for a phone of this quality. That's what, $300? Tough to beat!
Find someone who had the Note 7 and doesn't want to Note 8 and use their promo to get the $425 Trade in

this is terms and conditions I found :
"Device Payment Pricing & Other Info
Offers valid 8/25/17 through 9/13/17. Restrictions apply. $200 savings off regular retail price when activating a new XFINITY Mobile line of service. Valid on select devices. While supplies last. Limit 5 per account. © 2017 Comcast. All rights reserved.
Additional fees, such as those for government taxes and regulatory recovery fees, apply."
so basically in order to get the phone, you have to activate a new mobile line.
