Like many of you, I'm planning on buying an unlocked Kaiser. I'm hoping to create a thread packed with info about vendors, warranties, prices, etc. Bundled software is also a big issue--there are reports of Kaisers sans TomTom and I want to avoid that if possible.
Please tell us about your buying experiences!
MadMonkeyBoy Gadgets @ www.dweiniger.com
Excellent prices and service. His site may not look good, but he comes thru every time. Recommend him very, very highly.
I got my K-Jam from Mad Monkey Boy. Top notch seller. No complaints here and he kept us up to date constantly from distribution in Asia to his door.
I bought my Kaiser from XDA. Can't beat $680 and free shipping. Richard has answered every email promptly and professionally. If you're a frequent user of this site, this is my recommended way to go.

I agree with McHale 100% Richard has been outstanding to deal with and I also like to support this site. Doesn't hurt that the price is the lowest around either

check out http://www.egadgetdepot.com/ I bought both my TyTN and my new Kaiser there on day one, Amazing service and fast trun around shopping.
Stan the owner response to emails/Google Talk almost 24/7 and his prices are low WITH price match....
On order from XDA Store. Richard is prompt in responding to emails, and apologizes when he isn't.
The only problem with XDA Store is that in-stock indication can sometimes be inaccurate.

When you say XDA I'm assuming that you mean this site. The price is currently around $800, how did you get such a great deal?
I found this one OK, with good prices both in auctions and 'buy it now'. Any experiences (positive/negative) from this vendor?

You need to have a discount club membership - so in the end it actually comes out to $720. $680 for the phone, $40 for the club membership.
Superior Gadgets here. Was fast, shipping was upgraded free, he included car charger as well as screen protector. Tom Tom was not in the box but he provided me with a private link to download it.
I for one can vouch for egadgetdepot, bought my TyTN from there and now planning to get the kaiser. Stan does provide amazing customer service. He helped me get the screen issue get fixed all the way.
I used Superior Gadgets as well, Paul was very polite and communicated thru the whole process. I got the english version with TomTom, I did NOT get the car charger and screen protector. Paul said they were just comming in but they have never shipped as far as I know, that was a few weeks ago.
I purchased two Kaiser units fom store.xda-developers.com
They shipped relatively quick, at a very competitive price and arrived in good order.
They are having some startup pains, some accesories did not ship, and the in stock status was not up to the minute.
However Richard in their customer support has been very responsive and has quickly addressed every issue. When they get all the kinks resolved, they will be even better. I would not hesitate to purchase from them.
I can tell you who isn't a very good vendor to buy from and that is Elite Electronix. I bought my Kaiser and a 4 Gb SD card from them a month ago, Aug 31st to be exact, and I still have yet to recieve the SD card. Every time I email them to ask about the status of my order I have to email them at least 3 times to get a response out of them. The only good thing about them so far is that since I didn't get my kaiser on the first round they sent it next day shipping when their second batch came in.
Has anyone bought the kaiser at a decent price recently? From the feedback in the forums, tursted web stores are a lot more expensive Even ebay is getting expensive...
I got mine from Orange (in the UK). My contract just expired - I spend about £50-80 per month and I negotiated 300 minutes, 500 text, 30MB data per month with unlimited data at evening and weekends for free, plus I got the phone for free as well!
The only other vendor in the UK that I know is selling the Tytn II is T-Mobile. Hit Orange with T-Mobile's web n walk service and they will probably bend a little, especially if you talk to the cancellations department - they will do everything they can to stop you leaving...
I got mine from egadget depot .com price match available and honest merchant with fast shipping.
Cheapest I found was £428 inc P&P at http://www.handtech.co.uk/

Att website has the TILT for a reasonable price:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...etails/?device=AT&T+Tilt(TM)&q_sku=sku1060009
I own a small business. I recently moved 25 lines over from Sprint to AT&T. This was via an authorized dealer (AT&T franchise). They gave me my Tilt for $300.00 bucks. I will never deal with a corporate store again. It's almost like they have more freedom to do what they want in order to win business. My friend moved his family plan over from Tmobile to AT&T with the same franchise and they gave him the same deal as me.
Got mine from craigslist. Brand new at&t tilt for $400.00 even. best deal ever.
got mine for 300 euro's at a place they call the black market they sell all sorts of things before the official release date and for a reasonable price oya and thats only the phone with no contract or monthly payment it used to be the vario 3 but i sim unlocked it and flashed it with the dutch rom

There getting 499.00 at the att stores here. Retail ,no contract needed.
Add in 6% tax and 15 bucks to unlock it and your at 534 grand total.
Just walkin and walk out with a new phone.
What gets me is how someone would pay over 600 plus shipping on Ebay for the same thing (locked to att also). And theres alot of buy it nows on ebay over 600 bucks for a tilt. I must be missing something, I dont understand that.
OK whats the lowest price available for the tytn ii not the att tilt?
2 weeks ago from an AT&T store in NYC featuring a special $50 additional discount for 3 days - paid $350 + tax less $100 MIR = $250

care to explain the details?
I have bought 4 units so far for family and friends. For Shops I would recommend Inkino Ltd at 48 Tottenham Court Road and 9 Great Russell Street. They recently had deals for HTC TyTN II P4550 Kaiser and 6GB Micro SD for £499.95.
I have also bought a unit from www.htcdirect.co.uk I was impressed with their speedy service, responses to my email queries and the unit turned up very nicely packaged. I will be using them in the future too. The only reason I went with HTCDirect was that Inkino had sold out at the time. Its always good to know more than one good source.
I have been waiting patiently to get one on a contract from O2 but I have not heard any news regarding the UK release and I'm beginning to lose patient + the price from Play.com is extremely attractive.
Perhaps I will wait until the iPhone 3G comes out in the hope that the price will come down further
It's £394.99 with this offer...
Tempted to go for it - but then I'm due for a renewal soon with T-Mobile.
Anyone know whether the upgrade from T-Mobile will be free or do they evaluate each case individually?
Just a friendly warning, my experience with Play.com is extremely bad... When they said they sent stuff out, they actually hadn't, delivery weeks later than agreed to, unfriendly/unknowledgable support, etc.
Then again, that might have been a fluke, instead of their general way of dealing with things. After that one time I never ordered from them again
I find Play.com pretty good for stock accuracy! It just ussually takes an extra day due to being in Jersey. I am still waiting on the batteries, but everytime it gets to the release date they change it!! very annoying, But ussually when it says in stock it is!! in my experience anyway!!
If i hadn't already got one! i'd defo be ordering from here!!

I have been using Play.com for the last 8 years and never experience a single problem with them. All my orders were always delivered on time (witin 5 working days), I reckon your case must of been a one-off
You should give them a second chance
I've just replied in another thread regarding play.com
Since they are based in Jersey (a tax free zone) the customers are liable for paying all VAT taxes if the phone gets held up at customs. This is clearly stated in their Terms & Conditions.
2ndly, I called HTC UK the other day and they told me play.com isn't an authorised dealer so you won't get full UK warranty. I'm serious.. a girl at HTC told me...
be careful guys.
well i got a gray import from HK and he gives a 12 month guarantee lol my HTC guarantee is worth nothing anyway after i flashed it, so i will that the £60 i saved (it was about 340 GBP) a spend it if anything does go wrong...

From HM Revenue & Customs website:
Goods purchased from traders in Jersey and Guernsey
Customs has in place with the Jersey and Guernsey Customs and Postal authorities a special scheme that allows many of their traders to collect and pay to UK Customs import VAT on sales they make to UK customers. These traders, who are approved by the Jersey and Guernsey authorities, are allocated a unique authorisation number and this should be stated on the outside of your package. Under these arrangements you will be asked to pay import VAT, if applicable, at the time you make your purchase, and will not have to pay any additional costs such as import VAT, or the Royal Mail handling fee, when you receive your goods.
Unless I misread it, I believe you don't need to pay any import VAT on it.

Sorry, but she's talking crap. HTC offer a global warranty for all their own branded devices, but it doesn't cover shipping costs, and this even covers the ones sold on grey import by expansys.
So worst case scenario, you have to pay for the courier to Milton Keynes and back....not exactly the end of the world!
And as for Play.com, I have been using them for years, and bought all sorts of stuff from them. never had to pay import duties, even on an xbox 360, and only ever had one problem, which the remedied as soon as the item was back in stock. Play are actually one of the better and more trustworthy online retailers out there.....
And besides, if your address is registered in the UK, they charge you VAT anyway....they seem to be one of the ones under that customs scheme mentioned above somewhere.
Dammit.... was just on Play.com, credit card in hand and its gone up to £429! Ragin, I missed the offer!
Still cheaper than most places though!

LOL they are cheapest because they offer free delivery...now when you got it after ordering is another thing altogether.
DanGlee, i just saw it for £410 on http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16495.htm
There may still be cheaper, that's just the cheapest i've seen so far.
Too late...
I went and ordered it from HandTec (www.handtec.co.uk) because it uses Google Checkout, makes my life that little easier!
It cost £425. So not too bad, most places are all around that price...
I'll be on this site now for the next week after I get it going through the forum and configuring it... I hope since I ordered it so late its the latest ROM!
Look forward to plenty of "OMGs this phone is wrecking my head" and "OMG I love it" replies
(word of warning, I'm coming from a Motorolla KRZR to Diamond WM6.1... there will be a learning curve... but it can't possibly be any worse that the yoke I have now!)

I agree with that, and the Diamond has 2 years cover from what I read.
With all this glob-trotting around it makes sense to offer worldwide cover.

Well if they are uk spec then it will have the latest rom on it but like yourself i was a noob coming from a nokia n95 8gb symbian phone but ive enjoyed learning about this phone.
Just make sure the first thing you do is APPLY THOSE TWEAKS in the tweak thread...it will make it a hell of alot more better. ITs a shame that you have to apply those tweaks to make this phone really shine..should come like that but it seems like HTC just wanted to get the phone out asap.
Feel free to ask any questions if you have any problems...its the only way your gonna learn but before i got my phone..i read through most of the threads here so when i got the Diamond...i had a bit of a head start.
BTW thats a damn good price you got yours for..i paid £445 for mine from clove.
Doe anyone know if HTC diamond sold by play.com is a UK version or a grey import?
Hi,
This is my first post here, but the site is great and I've been coming back here for about 2 weeks while trying to decide if I should buy a diamond and I have to say the people, reviews and discussions have certainly swayed my choice into getting one. It was touch and go (pardon the pun) for a while after some initial bad reviews, but since the ROM update it seems everybody is a lot happier! I know it will take a bit of tweaking, but I'm a S/W engineer, so its nothing I'm afraid of, but it will be my first WM device, so I'm a little scared...
I nearly opted for the iPhone, but its a brick, if not a pretty cool device, but I want something that I can put in my pocket and use as a normal phone... I have an iPod for music and videos, a phone is a phone (but the GPS rocks)
Anyway, I digress, I do have only 2 questions and the first one is pretty redundant from reading this forum, but here goes:
I saw a Touch Diamond for sale on eBay and the guy selling it said that he was selling it because he was disappointed because when he came to use the GPS it was a lie and that he needed an extra component and had to carry something else around? Whats all this about. I did freak a little when I read in all the spec sheets that it was GPS "READY"... what does READY mean? I assume it comes with it all from reading the reviews.
Second question, since my mind is pretty made up and I will be getting one, where is the best place to buy one (for the UK, and UK spec) I'm not looking for cheapness, as i know they are knew and average is around £450ish (inc VAT and Delivery) but dunno where to get one from (Not eBay anyway) any advice on the best online shop, or if anybody knows of any shops that sell them (in Manchester) that would be great.
Thanks for any help in advance!
DG
Plenty of places in the UK to buy them from, if you had done a search you would have found a thread that listed all the places in UK that are selling them and they are uk spec.
But for you ill name a few:
www.expansys.com now have the official uk spec Diamonds
www.clove.co.uk
www.play.com
www.totalpda.co.uk
www.powerupmobile.com
www.htcdirect.co.uk
those are your best bets...think Expansys is based in Manchester but dont know if they allow you to go there and pick up the phone...best to ring them i suppose.
I would recommend Play.com. Never had any problems with them and at the moment it's only £399.99 with free delivery. Others sell it for about £435 or £440.
Yeah, sorry, should have done a search, but battery was dying on the laptop and no plug in sight!
Anyway, thanks for the links guys. I did heard that expansys were selling non official versions and thats one reason I asked, I have used them before but for nothing really as expensive as this.
Thats really cheap for Play, I may used them since I have an account with them...somewhere!
Now I will have the agonising wait and ensuing dissapointment that when I wake up the postman hasn't brought it its going to be a LONG week!

The general consensus is that this is only if you're a business customer buying an additional handset for your account.
Surely if most places are selling it for £400+ Vodafone won't be giving them away with no contract?!
I saw the eBay one with the guy saying no GPS too - and got a bit worried about my pre order one. I actually emailed him and asked about it. He replied saying it was GPS Ready, but needed additional hardware. After a bit of research I emailed him back again saying I was sure it definately had it built in - within another day the auction had closed early!
Whether he'd done a quick sale, or realised his error - who knows?!
Play is the best price - unless you can get a bargain on eBay. Watch out for 'Next Day' sellers whos small print says a week+ unless you pay extra postage!
WARNING!!! if you buy from play.com in the UK, you'll have to pay VAT tax as the unit will probably be held up in customs.. reason being, Play.com ships from a tax free zone.
It's clearly stated in their terms & conditions that the customer is responsible for taxes. Read the fine print!!
2ndly, I called HTC UK the other day and they told me play.com isn't an authorised dealer so you won't get full UK warranty. I'm serious.. a girl at HTC told me...
If it is a USA order
If you are in the US, then the best place to buy the phone is from Ryan at Negri Electronics. I had a problem with the first two phones (the first was a power issue, the second was wifi). I emailed them in the morning, and by the afternoon I had a UPS overnight tracking order. They included return labels, and it was no questions asked. I have bought all my luxry phones starting back at the Nokia 8800 and up til now (yes I have a addiction for cell phones). NEVER HAD A SINGLE ISSUE! The Diamond also registered on the HTC site. The phone is shrink wrapped in the retail package (he has a network, and actually travels to get the product on or before release that are not grey's). Price my be higher or lower but not by much. I trully think its worth it, because you don't have to wonder about what your are getting or when. They ship the next business day (I gotta give them credit on their speed and customer service. The answer emails right away, and phone calls are 99% answered, and messages are returned immediately.
Heres the direct link: DIAMOND- http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-unlocked-p-1506.html
DIAMOND PRO: http://www.negrielectronics.com/htc-touch-pro-p-1530.html
Desktop CRADLE: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-desktop-cradle-g300-p-1526.html
Mine is perfect. They really have their business together.
PS: This is not an advertisement, this is my honest opinion. I have made purchase from expansys (paid for overnight, got it a week later).

Tmobile will be doing them from end of the month from what i have heard..as for voda, orange and o2 they will be carrying it but dont really know when...possibly July??.
As for branding??..yep you can be 110% sure that they will be all branded to some extent. As usual Tmobile will make sure its locked to their network and probably Orange. Voda and o2 will probably sell it unlocked but with their branding on it.

Really??? hmm... call HTC and ask them I guess...
Mine shows up as 1 year as well... but with the following message:

any ideas?? am I still entitled to 2 years warranty??

I work for O2 UK as Technical Support and I can confirm it is available on both Contract and Pay as you Go. Pay as you go price is £336 (Official One Plus UK Website price is £329 as I ordered mine couple of weeks ago). The phone will be unlocked out of the box. We have live demonstration devices in stores also.
Contact Prices start from £28 per month.
This is the best phone I have ever come across as me being around phones and fixing them for the past 2.5 years and owning the latest phablets, that is quite an achievement.
This is an exclusive partnership between One Plus and O2 UK meaning you can't get it on any other network/carrier/shop in the UK unless you buy it from the official One Plus Website and wait for it to be delivered.

Great to hear djsynth. :highfive:
If I buy from o2 and the handset develops a fault after 30 days, am I having to deal with One Plus in China to get it sorted?
I've had a play with a few now in o2 shops and the speed is very impressive. I think this will be my next phone as the Pixel phones will be overpriced. :crying:

If I buy from o2 and the handset develops a fault after 30 days, am I having to deal with One Plus in China to get it sorted?

No, under UK law your contract is with the retailer not the manufacturer, so as far as defects go its up to 02 to fix. If you break it ie drop it and smash the screen that however is a different matter.

Thanks Ghost :highfive:
That's what I thought also. Funny how the person in the o2 shop told me otherwise....

Typical trick from retailers, is to try and defer complaints to manufacturers, but the law says the retailer is responsible for supplying you with goods of merchantable quality.
Also worth bearing in mind, this covers the device for defects within a reasonable period (or some such wording), so a phone supplied on a two year contract should be expected to be free from defects for at least the contract period, and most issues for longer than that.
One Plus Three just ordered. :victory:
Thanks guys for answering my questions. :highfive:
I'm not paying those crazy prices for the Pixel phones. What is Google thinking of. :silly:
