I'm looking to buy a HTC One Developer Edition in Canada. I recently just contacted HTC, and they can't ship to Canada, what bull****. But anyways, where can I find a Developer Edition that will ship to Canada? Cause I don't wanna pay way over $700, cause that's how much it is on HTC's website.

Some Canadians are buying through friends. Others have reported that VPN/Parcel Forwarding/US dollar Visa will work. I'm working on this issue now to see if I can get it working. I'll report back later if I can.

I have had luck. I went through HTC website and used a parcel forwarder.
Steps:
1) Get a US Dollar Visa - I used RBC which has a $65 annual fee. Some of the other banks have much cheaper cards, which you might want to look into.
2)Use a free VPN to get you to the checkout section of HTC's site. I didn't have to use a VPN to purchase on the HTC site, but I did use a free VPN which didn't support SSL on port 335 that the webstore uses. I just used the VPN to get me to the checkout stage and then I turned it off and completed the order.
3) Step up a parcel forwarding company and get a US address. I added the mailing address of my parcel forwarding company to my VISA. I then used a different address for my parcel forwarding company (by accident) and no one *****ed, which is odd.
4) A few days ago the phone arrived at the parcel forwarding company and we got it reshipped. Currently it's in customs somewhere and I should have it in about a week.
I think that the ordering criteria must have been relaxed a bit because I didn't have any trouble getting one of these shipped out. I didn't really use a VPN, I used the WRONG mailing address which wasn't on my brand new VISA, and I had a fight with the parcel forwarding company. All of this and the phone was shipped and then reshipped. Probably costs my another 100 bucks for the dev edition.
I used http://www.shipito.com/ for the forwarder. If you buy yourself it's postage + 4.3% of the postage + $8.50 USD to have the item reshipped. That worked out to 34 something for me (I pay a 2.50 instead of 8.50 because I bought the annual plan).
In total this cost me :
The VISA annual fee - 65
THe Parcel forwarding Annual fee - 50
The Postage et al - 34
The phone dev edition - 650
The visa and forwarding service I'll get lots of other mileage out of later.
If you happen to live in the Edmonton Area I can help you out, since there are some financial commitments of the VISA and parcel forwarding service you may not like. If you have any questions PM or post below.
Thanks for the info. I called HTC and asked them if id be able to ship to a hotel when I travel to the us, but they mentioned Id need a US credit card ( and also add the hotel to my cc). since I dont have a US visa, I couldn't order. I'm in Ottawa, but thanks for the offer. i'll see what my bank offers for US Visas, and see if I can have it shipped to a hotel i'll be at. If not I'll try as you suggested. I didnt even know parcel forwarding services existed.
Thanks again,
ck

There are charts that compare US Dollar VISAs. Here is one, there are a few others I have come across. I think I cheapest annual fees I have seen arr around 20 bucks...
http://www.milliondollarjourney.com/top-us-dollar-usd-credit-cards-in-canada.htm
This site is about a year old. I've read stuff on just getting a US VISA from a US bank in the states as well. There are some problems with that because the US uses a different credit rating system so you'd have zero history. I think you might need to have a SIN number equivalent down there as well. If you live close to the boarder getting the package is much much easier though. Most people just set up a mail box at a US post office and ship to it, travel across and pick up there goods. There are companies that specialize in this type of service actually. I don't live close to the boarder at all... (about a ten hour drive) so I don't have any recommendations. I just know I've come across them before online.
Im with RBC, but looks like the TD might be the best option. Thanks again for the info. Great community here.

No I wasn't able to order the HTC. When I called HTC they mentioned to just add an address I was visiting in the US as the billing and shipping address (hotel, family, etc). So before I did this I tried calling my credit card company to add one of those addresses as a billing address but they kept saying they were unable to do that. I tried a few times, but I think now there's probably a note on my file (whoops).
Hmmm that's odd. I had no problem adding addresses. I even added the wrong one and it still shipped, to an address that wasn't even on the card. Is it a US dollar visa?

Hi,
I want to buy the Kaiser from UK to the NL.
Anyone can recommend me a good online store that does not need complicated process?
I dont like when they ask me to make a copy and fax a whole lot of documents (passport, credit card, electricity bill, birth certificate, and whatnot!).
PS: No expansys.* please.
PSS: or if anyone know NL online store that has Kaiser in stock now? (I searched but found none).
Thanks!
Hey,

Spoke with a guy named Richard, he is very prompt to help me.

The device Arrived today already VIA Ups.

Hmm, I went to their purchase page, but the online form only has UK as the country destination.
Did you fill in the order online?

Yes, I closed a deal with clove. Nice people there!
I have to buy this phone pretty quick (my Universal has literally died today)
Should i swallow the £470, or do you think i might be able to get it cheaper if i buy it from the US? (i have friends who can send it over, so i can avoid import tax)
SOOOOOOOOOOO want this phone, screw the Omni
I recommend Clove. Ordered mine this morning (Wednesday) to ship to Florida. It was probably 2pm UK time. It was in DHL's hands within 2 1/2 hours and I expect to receive it Friday. They generally ship same day. Bought my TyTN from them last year, I also received it in 2 days. Very fast and friendly service.
bersca did u need to give them any special info or just norm CC and add? like did they need passport ect. also are you having to pay import fees at all? Im in CA and was looking at ordering it from them but if I need passport and other crap might just get the ATT one when it comes out or ebay one.
Here's a site in Holland.
http://www.smartphonestunts.nl/smartphone/htc/tytnii_uk/tid122/index.html
You have 2 options:
1. give the authorization code of the transaction
OR
2. give copy of certain documents (e.g. cc statement, etc.).
for option 1, call your cc service, and ask about your transaction with Clove. Then ask what is the authorization code for this transaction. The cc service should inform you a number.
Then call Clove, inform that number.
Done
no need to copy and send any document!

Well, I warned you. I'm not sure how clearer I can be.
They (and others like them) post the same junk here on a constant basis. Some have fallen for it and, surprise, they've lost their money.
No offense, but just use some common sense. Do you really think any company can sell merchandise for way below cost? Where's the profit?
As the old saying goes, "If it sounds to good to be true..."
Western Union = Scam

Sure way to determine if the guy is a scam is see if he's willing to take a credit card for payment or anything other than Western Union.

im starting a new business and im looking for an email service provider that i can get push notifications to my cell (epic touch 4g). i know those aint free like gmail or hotmail but looking for something good but economic
can anyone recommend any thing?
http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html
It costs $5 a month, and you'll get [email protected] and you'll be able to add different business tools/apps to your account. It will work like regular Gmail, and it's easy to set it up on your phone. 30 days free trial.
any other option out there i could possible consider before deciding on this one
i used 1and1 when i started my business. it came with 50 email slots for employess and a stock website that was easy to change around. I was very happy with them and their service.

nothing, sold that business to a bank for a lot of TARP money
I am planning another company in the few months and i definitely will use them again because it was so easy. One word of advice, when you check different registries for name availability, they will hold that name so you can't take it from godaddy to myfreedomain.
Give 1and1 a look. they also have a sales department you can call with questions to make sure they do meet your individual needs.
thinking of going with Gmail for business i use the trial and see how it goes
hey the business im starting is a trucking business and have been having trouble with coming up with the name thats not already being used by someone else
We will work CA, AZ, NV, NM, TX , mainly with Produce and Dry freight we bring in alot of international product into the states (yes i know this is waaaayyyy off topic but if you can help that be great)
cant find anything so last resort is
740 Transportation ... what do you guys think???
Gmail All the Way and +5 more and you can add 25 gigs to your account. Really Good.
The problem with gmail is the support. It was impossible to receive decent support... I agree with free service = no support. But not when you pay.
Look for a hosted exchange company that is available on phone, by chat or email. It was the major point in my decision.
People who are going to the Sprint store to upgrade to the HTC One should know there is an issue with the system that is preventing the phone from being seen as discount available. They had to call the Sprint National Service Center to put in a manual discount on the account. I was told there were multiple people who tried and had the same problem.
The reason I am posting this is that you shouldn't expect it to be a 5-10 minute upgrade. It took over an hour for me. Loving the phone, so it was worth it.
I got mine without any serious issue. Anytime she tried to print off a receipt her computer would crash. They used another and all was well.
I had no issues.. they didnt get the $100 off instand but manager just over wrote it .... in and out in 15 min before work. Also if u mention that u get extra $50 invoice (currently online only) credit for buisness accounts... they might put that in too. I got that as well.

that credit towards the business account ?
Yes, basically a fam account under a tax id. But the discount should still apply to any account with any monthly discount associated with it, ie student. The credit goes towards ur next bill... its still something making my phone only $50 without htc trade in.
http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/dev/wdyw.asp
Enter any email ending with edu... and it will give u a coupon code SAVE50.... add the phone to cart and print the cart without actually ordering and take it to the store and they should take care of it.
I do have a pdf when it shiwed the htc one for 99.. let me know if u need it.

It's $199.99 but if he's correct then you can get it with that extra $50 off at $149.99. There's no way to get an upgrade with the phone only costing $50 without the HTC Trade in. If so the Sprint store is only 1/4 mile from my work and Im heading over to buy mine and then Ill cancel it with Newegg.
I'm just looking for the cheapest price, though I don't want to wait an entire week so that's why I chose the Newegg method. Lucky enough for me, I dont have to pay the 36 activation fee. Thank you, Sprint business account.

the Save50 is what is being referred to it is a $50 credit applied to the account. But the $100 instant he is referring to and getting that as a transaction override instore is of even more significance if he managed to get the phone at $99 like a new customer rather than the $199 thru Sprint.com upgrade screw..
I got a new line.. ported in a number... so yes the phone is $50 before htc trade in and -$50 If I do the trade in.

$450 instant saving? so the phone is only 99.99? not the 199.99? is it cheaper for business account?
Tried it but when I entered the promo code it said "The promotional code does not apply to any items in your shopping cart. Check the code and try again"
Any idea?
EDIT* Looks like it doesn't work for upgrades.
bummer, sprint sure treat loyal customers pretty well don't they
I went in to the Sprint store this morning to pick up my preorder and I would say I had a very pleasant experience. I dont know if this was the $50 discount spoke about earlier, but without saying anything, the phone rang up at $149. I am upgrading 3 months early, so I paid a $100 UpgradeNow fee. I traded in my Epic Touch 4G for $75 and had the $50 Sprint gift card that I had to buy to hold my preorder, so all in all, I paid $139 in store today. Not too shabby for being impatient and wanting to get rid of my Samsung as quick as possible.
Also, she got my gmail address because she said they were going to send me a $25 Google Play Store card. Nice little bonus :good:
I went to a Sprint store earlier this morning. They had no dummy phones to look at, they had no phones to sell, and they also had no idea that the phone was even released today. (I'm guessing it wasn't a corporate store, but you wouldn't know from looking at it (it's just south of Houston, TX.).
I told them "Well, I know Best Buy has them; I just didn't want to drive all the way over there...".
He said "Well, I'm sure they DON'T, otherwise we would at least have a shipment scheduled or something."
20 minutes later, I was doing the paperwork at BB, with my slick new One in my hands...(It was 199+ tax on a line that was eligible for an upgrade.).
How do these so-called "Sprint" stores even manage to get any business if they literally have no idea of a device's existence on a release day?
Anyway, I'm happy as a clam with my white one, FWIW.
I have and probably will keep my Note 2, just to have, and to mess around with different Roms, and also for its screen size, but this One will definitely be my daily driver. The difference in the builds/the quality of the devices is like night and day.

You guys don't even want to hear my story. So I pre ordered from Lets Talk like some of you may have. I get the notification that it won't be here till sometime next week, so I'm like "OK I'll cancel it" as my local store had some in stock. Cancelled it. Went in this morning to a store right when the doors open. They pull up my account and say there's no upgrade for me. So I end up calling Lets Talk to verify if my order had been cancelled. Lets just say that I've been calling Lets Talk and Sprint from 9am-1pm trying to figure out wtf was going on. I finally decide to call Lets Talk one more time. The rep I spoke to said that the order was cancelled when the item was in activation and picking, so they had to manually deactivate the device. Around 130pm when I'm about to leave I receive a call back from Lets Talk saying the upgrade has been reset. Just to make sure I called Sprint customer service and the local Sprint store just to double check that the upgrade was there. Indeed it was so I rushed to pick it up as I had to be at work at 220pm. Got my phone opened it at work and that's my CRAZY CRAZY story. I hope none of you guys had to go through any of that.

wtf? my upgrade is July 1 and I was told I have to pay $175 to upgrade now.............how did you manage this? who did you talk to?
Hey guys,
I just figured out how to get the HTC One for $29 after rebates (visa gift cards), and ordered the phone. This offer is only good this weekend so I thought I would share
First go to http://www.wirelessmarketplus.com and order the phone for $149. That comes with an offer to get a $20 Visa Gift Card After you activate.
After that, go to http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/100promo/?q=start and use promo code HTC100. this site asks you to trade in your old "smart" phone for $100+ in Visa Gift cards. I am trading in either my HTC Touch Pro 2 or a Motorola Droid 1 that I had laying around (both of them qualified for the $100 back)
So there you have it. after all is said and done, it's $29. hope someone else gets use out of this.

After all is said and done I'm getting mine for free. (number port= -$100 + trade in for $100)
Thanks though.
Wirefly and Wirelessmarketplus are owned by the same company, so it makes since they would both have the same deals.
wirefly still has it for 120 with 20 dollar gift card you just need the right link
I did the newegg 129.99 with $20 gift card deal. Is the gift card shipped with the phone?

No, it is shipped after activation
quick question, i have an old BlackBerry curve that qualifies but in order to get the $100 do you have to have a phone that was recently active? This blackberry hasen't been active in almost 2 years (ive been using a GS2 but want to keep it as a backup device). Anyone know if this will work?
Thanks

I don't think it has to be active. the HTC questionnaire said nothing about that, only the condition (no water damage, does it turn on, screen ok). The Touch Pro 2 I am turning in hasn't been active in several years.
ok great, yea its in perfect condition so i might as well go ahead. Im grabbing my H1 tmrw so I might as well give it a shot. The stupid blackberry has just been collecting dust anyway haha

Read the terms and conditions carefully. Somewhere in the fine print was a clause that said it had to be the phone active on the account prior to the upgrade. Might be worth activating the old phone for a week or so, just to be sure.
I pulled my wife's old LG Optimus V out of the drawer, took it to the Sprint store and activated it in place of my Shift. Then sold my Shift on Swappa, bought the One, and sent the Optimus to HTC for the $100. Came out ahead $75 and have a shiny new One.

Just a heads up for those who were looking into the trade up offer you have to register on the HTC website and they will send you a specific promo code not sure if just HTC100 works or not... and as for terms and conditions i thought it said you had to send in a previous HTC smartphone (I'm sending in my Evo 3D) I think it was like a customer loyalty promo thing...
but i could be totally wrong if so please correct me I'd hate to be tellin' people the wrong stuff...
ps. you guys S**K, , but really super dissapointed... I pre-ordered mine with sprint silly:dumb idea i know but they gave me an early upgrade) So i missed all the good deals you guys are gettin' now... damn I wish i had waited, the only thing that could make this phone any better would have been getting one free, I mean a phone this amazing for $100 is great but free, man thats sweet!!! good for you guys though:good:

Haha, should've had Sprint push the upgrade, then went online for the good deals.
The HTC100 promo is only good this weekend and only using that link. The pre register is something else (though I did that too). Also I don't see how the phone would have to be active if the site lets me select the Verizon Motorola droid 1 as a valid option.
From the terms of use
7.2 Program Requirements. In order to participate in the HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion you must have an eligible used smartphone device as defined by the on-line Tool. You can identify if the used device is eligible by utilizing the drop down menus to pick the make, model, and carrier for the used smartphone device. If you cannot find the make or model and believe this is in error, you can contact the program administrator at Clover Wireless. The Program is only valid within the United States. You must be a minimum of 18 years of age to participate. The Program is not valid on stolen property. There is a maximum of one (1) trade-in utilizing HTC One® Weekend Exclusive Promotion per individual customer. A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases. Clover Wireless has the right to reject any trade-ins for promotional trade-in submissions where 1) the used device is submitted by anyone other than the user of the used device and 2) when the used device was not active at the time of the new device purchase and 3) the trade-in voucher was not agreed to by you and 4) there is an invalid proof of purchase or 5) we believe there to be fraudulent intentions. Without a valid Proof of Purchase, you will not be paid the promotional trade-up amount.
It doesn't say had to be active
I just bought another one for my wife's line from Wirefly but they are sold out. Still $149.99 - $100 - $20 = 29.99 is pretty great! Silver only though.
Awesome deal, but not yet complete
HTC One (Black) purchased through Wirefly F&F for $119 today. I followed the aforementioned steps and got the $100 trade-in showing. If I select the "Continue" button (given the following verbiage: "You can click Continue if you've purchased your new HTC One phone and are ready to complete your Trade Up now."), the next screen requires the ESN from my new phone. Obviously I would need the phone in hand to enter that information, so it seems the best I can do is wait for the shipment to arrive from Wirefly.
But that is the rub. I can't complete the on-line trade in process by 5/5 because it's unlikely I will physically have the phone by then. Per the trade-up site, "Complete the online trade in process, by 5/5/13 (no later than 11:59PM EST)". This has me worried I will be denied.
What should I do?
Thanks!

The rep I talked to at wirefly told me the delay in shipping would not affect any promotions. I took that to mean HTC will change the dates like they did for the original promotion because the phones were delayed.

I had did the pre-register like quite a few here did and got a new email from htc on May 1 saying buy new One by May 19 send in old by June 19
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/ and from that link you get this link http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use and in section 8 ( nice pun in there ) you get To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on or before April 4, 2013 at HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by May 19, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by June 19, 2013.
Looks like the phones are about to start shipping. I had a live chat with support and they were able to give me the ESN number of my new HTC One, so I can finish the paperwork to get my $100
