O yeah I ask this because this my first buying a phone off somebody else, I have worked with pda's for over 3 years so I know what to look for.
if u can shell out $450.00 bucks there is a guy who has 4 "brand new" tilts he has available for sale. just search the forum using "4 tilts for sale"
good luck,
sire
I'll sell you one for 350 plus paypal fees. Last one left of the 4 I had.
I'm trying to get a tilt locally and not over ebay / forums, I want to take a look and examine before I commit funds.

Hi,
I'll be taking my family to Hong Kong for a few days next month. I have a mind to see if I can find an HTC Diamond Touch Pro, any recommendations on a good place to shop for phones in HK?
Any other recommendations for cool stuff to do in HK, good restaurants, or hotels with character are very welcome! Thanks!!
I'm from Hong Kong!
Yay! Another Hong Kong tourist.
Firstly (and most importantly, of course), there is a gadget heaven in a shopping district called Mong Kok (yes, feel free to giggle; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mong_Kok ), a street called Sai Yeung Choi Street: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_Yeung_Choi_Street
Map: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&h....170265&spn=0.009627,0.019312&z=16&iwloc=addr
All the big shops there are legit and quite competitive, so don't forget to haggle!
Hotel-wise I don't know what your budget is, but the one that I usually put my clients in is the Royal Plaza Hotel, which is also in Mong Kok and is above a great shopping mall: http://www.royalplaza.com.hk/
If you're looking for a budget hotel, the Shamrock Hotel in Jordan (near Tsim Sha Tsui - another shopping heaven; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsim_Sha_Tsui
) would be a good choice: http://www.shamrockhotel.com.hk/en/index.html
Obviously you should try to book via travel agents, which will make it a lot cheaper.
Restaurant: if you can read Chinese, there's a fantastic online guide for HK restaurants. I've personally picked three, one of which I have been to before (the second one):
Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家:

http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=690
(map) http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=690&mapType=1
Tack Hsin Restaurant 德興火鍋海鮮酒家:
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=3423
(map) http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=3423&mapType=1
They are all in the Tsim Sha Tsui district - just an 8-minute underground train (we call it the MTR) journey from Mong Kok, and it is another shopping heaven. However, don't bother visiting those so-called "tax free" electronics shops, as we don't have value-added tax anyway plus they have many scamming tricks up their sleeves, just for tourists.
The buffet restaurant in the hotel is also very nice, and I think they do afternoon discounts which would be great for your family.

Feel free to ask me any questions.
Richard,
Wow, thanks for so much great info!! I'm planning the trip now and you have made my life a heck of a lot easier, my wife also thanks you for saving her from one of my "it will be an adventure..." trips!! I really appreciate the links to attractions, restaraunts, etc. Also thanks for the heads-up about the "tax-free" shops...apparently I was scammed last time I was there
You rock!
No worries
My pleasure. Enjoy Hong Kong!
More attractions
Just remembered some more places that I missed out:
Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden - beautiful countryside park, requires bus to get to but definitely worth it. It is something that you'd never expect to see in such a crowded city! http://www.kfbg.org/kfb/homepage.xml?lang=en
Mong Kok Computer Centre (again, for us lads really): http://maps.google.com.hk/maps?f=q&...4.17107&spn=0.004814,0.009656&z=17&iwloc=addr
Popular (and also my favourite) street markets, most are in Mong Kok: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/touring/popular/ta_popu_open.jhtml
Of course, you can always refer to the official Hong Kong Tourism Board's website - plenty of tips there: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/index.jsp
Thanks again for all the help, I've got a pretty good-looking trip planned based in no small part on your advice. I did find a good website that has pretty good prices for hotels, www.agoda.com
Thanks!
Wow, that's a neat website. I'll recommend it to my friends in the future. Thanks a lot.
Just out of interest: which hotel did you pick in the end? Still in the Mong Kok area?
Yeah, I booked at the Prudential Hotel, which appears to be right on the border between Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, seems like a good place to be. I read about 100 positive reviews of the place on various travel forums, the MTR stop is actually in the basement of the hotel and supposedly you can easily walk to the markets. Which is good since I am traveling with two women who's primary goal in life is to die with the greatest number of shoes
Do you have any experience with this hotel?
Shamrock Hotel, which I recommended, is also directly above the same MTR station (Jordan). I don't know much about the hotel you've chosen, but the 100 reviews can't be wrong (unless they are fake, of course) so you should be fine.
Good. Thanks.
That's good! thanks. I used the sinohotel.com, booked the Shamrock Hotel.
Not sure if this post belongs in this forum!! Couldn’t find any other appropriate one.

Just been made, throws up some interesting games, i really wanted us to get France again so we could get revenge on them over the Thierry Henry handball which cheated us from taking part in last summers World Cup, from Ireland's group obviously Germany will be favorites to top the group and it'll most likely be between Ireland and Sweden for the 2nd spot but im confident we'll progress this time.
Our nearest neighbours England got a relatively easy draw too.
So who did your country get and what's the verdict?
