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...

Can get that much cheaper, € 476,76 at http://pdas.centralpoint.nl
Which is aprox £378.74.

Pre-ordered by www.netintro.be for 508,20 €.

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 Confirmed?

Hi,
Two leading online mobile sites have posted their price for the unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Does this mean that the price has been confirmed for this set?
On both sites (Xpansys and Dechowireless), the price for X1 is the same. It is - brace yourself - $949.00 to $949.99. (a 0.99 difference actually)
I have been expecting it to be a whooping $1100 since long now, so this price on these two sites is a relief. Not to mention, Xpansys selling for $949 could mean that you may be able to get it a bit cheaper for some other site or shop. (this is say not from personal experience)
So now that i know that the price is close to the others - as an example, Touch Pro on Xpansys is $899 and on Dechowireless is $920) - the question remains; which set to buy?
Best Regards.

I forgot to include the site links...
http://www.expansys-usa.com/
http://www.dechowireless.com/store/index.php
(You can use the country selector in Expansys to select your country or a one near you to get that country's site with pricing that currency)

Well Amazon.de has it listed at 639 euros, which is about as much.
http://www.amazon.de/Ericsson-XPERI...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1221952119&sr=8-1
On a side note, Touch HD is listed at 619 euros.
http://www.amazon.de/HTC-Blackstone...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1221662764&sr=1-3

Well I am told devices are usally the same price in euros and dollars, not conversion for equal value. Meaning it will be 639 USD (assuming 639 Euro is correct).

Nope that is not the case. Consider Expansys...
Their US site lists the price as: $949.99.
Their UK site lists the price as: £584.99.
Funny thing is that taking into account the current currency rates and converting the price, £584.99 should equal a little over $840. I also converted through XE.com and same result.
Looking over at Expansys's other sites, some countries' have higher price in comparison to others... the cheapest i've seen so far is on their UK site... (so i'm guessing that the other prices include delivery to the country - considering that Xperia is launching in UK and a few other countries before others - so it will probably come down on those countries as it is launched there locally)

Yep... Amazon's price is pretty much the same as Expansys's price... as for the Touch HD, i have it on my list of mobiles to look at if Xperia doesn't get the reviews i'm hoping for. But after Xperia i've got my eyes on HTC Touch Pro... i'm thinking of going for a device with a keyboard - unless HTC Touch HD is really something else. (i've had a 1st gen iphone since it launched and am pretty tired of it and its on screen keyboard and all)

You can't compare the prices this way. Great Britain has no € ! The Pound in Great Britain is totaly different.
The German amazon prize of 639 € is tax included! And the tax is different in different countries. Therefore you first have to look, where is the prize from, than if tax is included or not and get the prizes without tax to compare

355€ here!

Hmm... Fishy fishy.

Can't be right, the Diamond is more expensive than Xperia there...
And that can't be true

Even the omnia is 519 € there -for this I guess it is just a non-known-price that will be corrected when it is available.

Fishy Price
Oasis Communications Inc. claims to offer the Xperia X1 for $450.00 which is way out of line with everyone else. You know, if it sounds to good to be true ... and so forth. Anyone have any experience with this company?

According to them its "In Stock, Ready for immediate shipment." I'm ordering 5! I would be wary of them..

Check their specs... they are either completely pulling your legs, or are selling prorotype models: "128MB RAM,"

The specs says 128 ram so they are selling prototypes.

The cheap logitel price moved up to 625 € http://www.logitel.de/handys/marken/SonyEricsson/xperia_x1_solid_black__302.html

Cheapest price at the moment is about 600 EUR.

Mindfactory says October, 2nd as delivery date

And MediaMarkt announces it in its new offer from today for 699,00 € (Germany).

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?

Final USA Pricing

Does anybody know the final, non-contract price for the phone? I believe I saw on HTC.com that it was $400, is that confirmed or known? I'm pretty sure after buying an HD2 I'm still not eligible for an upgrade, so I'm probably buying this at full price. Also, I'm aware every post, advertisement, and banner states the 8th as the retail release, but I've also read the 1st on occasion, but I'm going to assume the 8th is official, is that the case? Thanks guys, it'll be nice to move back to Microsoft...sorry Google.

it'a $549.99 from htc.letstalk.com and $529.99 from wirefly

So wouldn't people be better off buying directly from HTC.com? It's the same T-Mobile branded phone, isn't it?

i think so because you have to choose T-Mobile as the carrier before you make the purchase

Yeah, I can't even find it on htc.com. It keeps taking me to the Microsoft website now. I'm really trying to find the best non contract price also as I bought my hd2 in feb or mar and can't use upgrade pricing. I think it sucks as it's a new OS and they should be eager to get everyone using it. Anyone think they'll have success getting it non contract from tmobile for 400 even?

i don't think it will be available for less than $500,
if you look into htc.com or t mobile, most of their $199 devices are $500+ non contract
even the HD2 is $450 now

Understood and I still don't see it on HTC.com. But, at least you would think they want everyone that currently owns a winmo device to adopt the new platform. They should at least offer it to us for early upgrade. Hell, the iPhone does it for just iOS upgrades and current iPhone users. Come off the goods. I mean they gave 80,000 free ones to employees totalling 50 million dollars. Spread that around and get your supporters buzzing about your platform.

If you are with Tmobile,its $449 final price after instant online discount. You can check on their website.

If you're on the fence about getting one, this might sway you.

wow they shot down in price, i paid nearly £400 for mine when it first came out, if phone companies kept prices low like this on initial release I think they would have more sales.

TBH, I wanna wait until it drops down a bit more. Baring in mind that this was £315 on Expansys just one month ago, the price has been sliced more and more every week. This is a heavily underrated phone overshadowed by SGS2 and Sensation and I expect it to crash down to the sub £200 barrier.
The question though is: When?

I don't think it will any time soon. Next year maybe?

I am afraid even at that price with no 2.3 on-board and no sign of an upgrade any time soon then it's still a no go from me.

I grabbed one off Expansys yesterday - can't wait to slap on a CM7 nightly when it arrives

XD guys wait for that MIUI phone, it is so cool and preorder will be only 310$ (1999Y - chinese money, I don't have Yen sign xD). But only China for now, I guess...
