http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270204139064
sorry forgot the link in the last message
i have had to put it in another ad due to Nigerian scammers!
heres the new ad
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=270204532416&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=017
how did you get all the scratches on it?
just by having it in my pocket with my keys in it. and one on the bottom where it got scratched on a wall. the scratches are only on the housing as the screen is in very good condition still. i dont know why they changed the material of the case from the hermes really. Had my hermes a lot longer and still looks brand new.
How did you know the scammers were Nigerian?
because they registed there ebay account in germany but yet they ask to send to a Nigerian address. they also sent me a email that was ment to be from paypal saying that i have been paid the money into my paypal account but then once you look at www.paypal.com there hasnt been anything put in. i will copy and paste everything so you can all see what kind of thing to look out for

Hi all,
There are many reports of the Expansys units being grey - and not registering on HTCs site.
There is a thread at coolsmartphone.com were DeviceWire reports that it will be the FIRST distributor of the UK Diamond but this will be mid to late June: http://www.devicewire.co.uk/eshot/htc_touch_diamond_delivery/index.html
Mine is coming from TotalPDA. I just called them, they have stock but are under embargo and cannot send them until next Tue (10th). Question is, if DeviceWire say they are going to be first then are the TotalPDA ones gonna be grey too?
Has anyone got an Expansys one to register on HTCs site? Has anyone else got a TotalPDA order waiting? Has anyone else got any more information?
Confusing....
Rich
Word from HTC is that any device being bought outside Hong Kong atm is a grey import, has no warranty with HTC and ofc, no registration benefits

This is TOTALLY TRUE. I tried to register my phone through the HTC site and it doesn't recognise the Serial number. I bought mine through Expansys
Grey.........my mood!
I have just spoken to HTC who told me that I cannot register my expansys Diamond with club HTC because they have not updated the website database, he assured me that my 'grey import' has a full warranty which exspansys will honor and that I will be eligible for downloads once they have updated the servers.
Even more confusing, should I send the unit back or not??
Get that in writing!!!!
R
hahaha
tho a happy news....
Expansys will honour the warranty as stated on their forums. But as for updates etc, id get what HTC have said to u in writing because some people are saying that HTC wont provide updates for any 'grey' Diamonds.
The expansys forums state that they themselves will honor any warrenty on the device.
I'm not too worried about lack of updates from HTC; Firstly 'cos they haven't been to quick in releasing them in the past, and secondly, that's why we're all here on XDA
Side note: Got mine yesterday. Loving it

Well they gave me a case reference, which will be e-mailed to me, when I get home from work I will post the e-mail.
I am a little concerned how exspansys have deleted the original forum thread from the Expansys website and have not returned my call requesting a returns number.....
Expensive strikes again
ill wait
and get a real one from orange
I arrived yesterday from the expansys, and mine is black
In case of record, I tried to do it in HTC e-Club and receive a message that is not a product of HTC.
Already there have been a Cruise and a P3300.

Wich would suggest it's "grey". It's not the colour of the device ppl are referring to when they are talking about grey devices, only that it's an import from the asian market and HTC isn't too happy about that practice, and therefore limit your experience with lack of support..

But there's conflicting reports. Some people are saying HTC will not support it outside HK, others are saying they will. I think you have to assume 'maybe' they will 'maybe' they won't. And if your that concearned call HTC yourself before you buy.

no problems registering Diamond with HTC
I had no problems registering my Diamond with HTC. Mine is a Hong Kong serial no so I Just registered it on the English Hong Kong site as the Australian site gave an error when I entered the serial. No issues at all now.
I've just talked to HTC customer service hotline in Denmark. He had to ask his boss but the conclusion was that HTC do have a worldwide warranty and if anything happens to my diamond I can ship it to UK (I live in Denmark) because they have a HTC global repair center there. I'll probably have to pay the shipping cost and it might take a little longer but the warranty will cover the repair. He said if it was him he would keep it.
I didn't get it in writing but he gave me a case no. and his name.
I sent my MDA Pro to Turnonyourmobile.com in London for repair about three weeks ago. I still don't have it back. I also ordered a second-hand MDA Pro from them about two weeks ago. It still hasn't arrived. My e-mails to them bounce. I did place an international phone call to them a week ago and they answered, and said everything was coming along. So: are these guys for real? Are they still in business? What experience have any of you had with them? Is there anyone on this forum living in London who can check them out?
Call them once everyday, and email them everyday. Give your reference numbers when you send an email so they know who you are and which product you bought and when. Also ask for a refund if they don't send it.
Did you get a tracking number?
No Tracking Number
No, they haven't given me a tracking number. And: it's an international phone call from the USA to the UK, so I certainly don't want to call them everyday!
International Calls
Yahoo Messenger Voice calls are only $0.02 /min or less to UK landline. Yeah, call them everyday if necessary.

You have to complain, if you don't complain they will take your money...that's what USPS did to me when I gave up complaining about a package worth 150 dollars that THEY LOST but I never received it.
Hi, I have some very good deals with Turnonyourmobile, no problems with them, very fast shipping, good second hand devices. May be there is some problem in the communication, (try to contact over ebay).
Reassuring
Well that's reassuring...for now.
Moved to Off Topic.

To PayPal Dispute Resolution
OK, time is up for Turnonyourmobile.com. I've filed a complaint with PayPal, so now the matter is in their Dispute Resolution Process.
I'm sure Paypal will light a fire under their asses.
The Saga Continues
I finally made phone contact with Harrison in Customer Service at Turnonyourmobile. He said that they did receive the payment of $200 from PayPal on July 1 but have not shipped the spare phone yet. He says they will ship it tomorrow and e-mail me a tracking number. It will have the T-Mobile MDA Pro ROM version 5 on it (a Vodafone 900); he says version 6.x is unstable on the Universal (and I think I agree with that). He also said that my present MDA Pro is still in the shop; it continues to have various "faults." So, at least, they haven't lost it!

so can you check your bank or paypal account and verify to me whether or not your money has been disbursed?
Some Good News
It's July 27, 2009 and I finally got the Royal Mail tracking number from Harrison at Turnonyourmobile. Apparently they are shipping both my original MDA Pro and the spare, a Vodafone 900, together, to me. I'll post again when they arrive and after I check them out.

By now, you should have realised something: Both postal codes are the same! One addesss is going to a "estate", while the other is going to a bus stop (LOL!).
1) I do not have an IQ of 80 and below.
2) I am not a retard who would believe that someone would study at Nigera.
3) Let me invite them to s*ck my d*ck.
What are your views? Comment about it.
Strike 3 has arrived!
EDIT: Strike 3 has arrived. This time, another Nigeran Address. But, he sounded more "local" and "legit" until I realise that its yet another Nigeran scamming w*ores.

The last one is disputable, but the first two are definite scammers. Explain to me, how can two different addresses, one an estate, the other a bus stop, have the same postal code? Unless both go to the same scamming scheme.

I listed my "computer skills" for hire on Craigslist a few months ago. Some guy asked "how much to clean 10 laptops and reinstall Windows on them", I said "$150 each, plus cost of 10 Windows licenses". He promptly replied that he would ship the computers and 10 copies of Windows, COD, and would send a money order for $1500 + shipping so I could pay the delivery driver and keep the balance. All he needed was a list of personal info including my address.
Maybe I missed out on some easy money when I told him to "f#@% off", I'm content to believe I avoided a scam.

In some places an institution or something may have its own postal code, but in most places a postal code simply indicates a geographic area. For example there are over 30,000 people that live within my postal code (and 12 registered sex offenders apparently haha). THAT is how those 2 places can have the same one, lol
Now I'm not arguing that those Nigerians aren't scamming you, they certainly are trying, just letting you know about postal codes, lol.
If they're asking for your paypal information I would give it to them and let them pay, then immediately take the money out and put it in your bank, and then never send them an item. The worst that happens is Paypal tries to get the money back when it's found out the scammer used someone else's account or something. I seriously doubt that a scammer is going to file a dispute using a stolen account to try to get money back. Sounds like a good way to get some free money, lol
Hahahaha glad to see you didn't fall for it. I've had a few run-ins with these scumbags, my most recent being documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774846
You might get a kick out of that

Anyway, that mona rio decided to spam my inbox by sending an email every hour telling me "I awaits your reply". I have about 300 of those in my Gmail threaded into 1 conversation. Should I send a pile of *dog feces* to those scammers? Leave a reply everyone!
Somehow I don't think that would make it very far past customs checkpoint lol.
You could send him an empty box (or leave a "pleasant" note inside, up to you ), and "forget" to put enough postage on it. Also "forget" to write a return address.
When he gets the box, he'll have to fork out some cash to make up the difference. Win.
You get this type of scam on the UK equivalent 'Gumtree'. If you post any form of electronics give it a few hours and you'll have many replys from these scammers all wanting shipping to Nigeria. The best bet is just to put it on eBay.
I will NEVER vacation in Nigeria.
good day.

Back years ago when I was doing the online dating thing, I used to get scammers contacting me. Mostly from their messages they seemed Russian or spoke some kind of slavic language based on the words they left out and such. Most claimed to be doctors or supermodels who wanted me to move them to the US so they could be my soulmate.
One time I had a profile up on Yahoo Personals and was contacted via Yahoo instant messenger by a nice looking african girl (based on her profile picture) who said that she had recently came to the US to marry a man and he left her behind at a hotel and he didn't pay the bill. She said that the hotel manager was holding her hostage until the bill was paid. She said she needed me to contact the hotel and talk to them and tell them I was a good american friend who promised that she would return with the money etc etc and leave him a small deposit as a gesture of good faith. (*DING DING DING*)
I said "You need to contact your local embassy or consulate, they will help you" and she just kept on pleading and pleading and I just kept on repeating the same thing and finally blocked "her".
would of been an epic troll to ask for the address of the hotel and say ok im on my way ! and a few hours later u message him like: ok im here but wheres the room ??
Hi guys,
Can anyone help me find the 90 day Costco exchange policy? My HTC Inspire has bad a speaker and unfortunately it's been about 40 days since I got the phone. AT&T will replace it but I'd rather get it exchanged from Costco with an Infuse 4g. Can someone help me?
What do you want to know?
I worked for the company for 8th years.The 90 day return policy applies to cell phones, computers, digital cameras, and televisions. As long as you are a paying member, and are within the 90 return period, they should accept your return.
Costco doesn't do "exchanges". They will refund your item and you purchase the new one.
However all locations are different. I was declined a refund on a product once and I went to a different Costco.
Problem solved.
Good luck.
