[rakh1]

play.com have it for £429.99, due on the 9th June : http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/5508804/HTC-Touch-Diamond-Sim-Free-Unlocked-Mobile-Phone/Product.html

[wardy]

Same date £1 cheaper

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

[rakh1]

Not same date - handtec 19th, play 9th. If that's true it's worth the £1 :)

[Mauser.NET]

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 ;-)

[Dark Fire]

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...

[selspiero]

anyone know the release date for T-Mobile in the UK? some places saying june others july...

[wardy]

Yep looking at the Price difference you know why we call it rip off UK . Dont even get me started with petrol prices lol

[unclesomebody]

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!

How much would this degrade the coverage for this phone in the US?

[Jamesrouse85]

How much would this degrade the coverage for this phone in the US?
If you're on AT&T it means no voice. 3G data should still work though.

[SecureGSM]

In areas with 3g coverage voice would be still available. not practical though, IMHO.

[ahegazi]

What's the difference between the Duch vesrsion € 400,64, and the English ver € 405,21 ?

I think it only takes a ROM flashing to change the language, right?

[sonus]

How much would this degrade the coverage for this phone in the US?

If you're on AT&T it means no voice. 3G data should still work though.

No, no, no, AT&T uses both 850 and 1900 bands for both voice and 3G data. If you buy a phone w/o the 850 band you'll have coverage, but it will be spotty. So even if you're in a 1900 band only area, it would be a waste of money to buy an extremely expensive phone only to not have it work when you need it out of town.

I've pasted an 850 only coverage map for AT&T. Add'l Coverage maps are here...http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml

Dude just wait for the american version. Remember early adopters though they have the new hotness are also subject to the new bugs and crap. Besides if you spend 700+ on a phone the shid should work wherever the carrier has coverage.

thanx for the coverage map,now i can get one here in hawaii...

Seems they already sell it on the chinese acution website (just like ebay)
for 5680.00元, which is around 512 euros.

Lots of detailed pictures there too!

I guess its imported from HongKong or something; might it be released there already? Unless its a scam...

Anyone knows how that works with the warranty if I buy it like this? Will I automatically get international warranty covering european countries too, based on the production date?

[someone1234]

No, no, no, AT&T uses both 850 and 1900 bands for both voice and 3G data.


European version seems to only do 900 and 2100 for 3G. So you won't get any 3G at all with the european version :eek:

Great price from one of my favoured retailers though (Play.com). Certainly haven't seen any better in the UK...

and althought he writes in his page that "Expected delivery time is 5-10 business days." when i asked him when will he ship after i paid him he said "Please read our shipping policy on the listing. Shipping takes 5-10 business days" which means that he will ship me the phone in 5 - 10 days if i understand correctly...

The second diamond i bought if from here today for 530€

and when i asked them they told me that i will have it monday or tuesday.

I was considering that guy too, but it comes with their own 12 month waranty, not a manfuacturer one. Also if you ship with fedex/ups etc they'll charge you duty no matter if its a gift or not. They have a pretty low tolerance to mobile phones.
Fedex will definatly charge you because they use their own customs brokers to speed things up.

sometimes you get lucky.. the best one to use i find is UPS.

Transfer (credit) some money onto your credit card so that your balance is positive not negative or zero. Then make your purchase, remember to let your credit card company know you’re going to make the purchase as otherwise they might block it as an unusual transaction.

I used to do it all the time when I was a student as that gave me some additional protection. If you got some time, you can also apply for a credit card that gives you cash back. Barclaycard for example is currently offering 4% on purchases for 6 months. It all adds up!

[someone1234]

Could be a scam.. but he takes paypal, which has 500 pounds protection.. and i'll definatly be paying by credit card which has its own protection.. So it makes no difference to me if he tries to scam me!

rorydaredkign/Darkfire - did u ask this guy any questions like his delivery time, waranty and spec of chargers etc?

rorydaredkign/Darkfire - did u ask this guy any questions like his delivery time, waranty and spec of chargers etc?

Rory asked about delivery. It takes about 7-10 days apparently and it's done by 'dhl,ems or dpex'.

It does say 1 year warranty, and I don't think there's any information about the charger - that's a good point.

[scorpionrs]

hi guys this looks like a scam

be carfull

Yeah,No paypal and its a new seller.. Id keep away . I was scammed once in a similar deal.

Stick to Power sellers with a good rating and pay Only via PalPal.

[someone1234]

hmm dunno which one your looking at but he does accept paypal

hmm 7 to 10 days :( thats no use!

EDIT: There's 2 guys on there, both replied (i think they're just 2 usernames for the same china suplier). They said i can choose the spec (charger etc), and they ship 'dhl,ems or dpex'. He didn't answer my question about if i can specify ups/dhl/fdex express if i pay extra.

Sounds to me like they don't have them yet, and are waiting for the main stream release to distributers over there around 2nd June.
Anyway i messaged back, lets see

EDIT2:
they both replied.. one said ok buy it from the UK then.
The other guy said sorry the suplier is only dealing with standard shipping 7-10 days. They ship everywhere with EMS, and only use DHL for locatons EMS can't handle.
I'm gonna give this one a miss i think. 7 days htcdirect can deliver, and 10 days play.com can.

If that's over the odds, how can you describe INKINO's price?
I may well buy from there - definitely faster and less dodgy than the other seller.

less dodgy with 2 negatives in the last month selling iphones?

[someone1234]

As long as you use a credit card these things are safe. You're always covered for fraud, non delivery etc. Just NEVER use a debit card when you're not sure.
Paypal protection is ok, but the thing i don't like about it is if they say NO you pretty much got no recourse. With credit cards you have alot more power.

It started of such a good day, but then since i ordered this i decided i beter get my sim card replaced. Its really worn out, and goes 'no sim' alot of the time. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about, the plastic coating on the plastic has peeled off making it thinner and the pads are dented!

I called t-mobile to tell them the sim card is broken, and i get no sim ocasionally. After the general explanation he says ok no problem we'll replace it, there will be a 10 pound charge.

I think its my fault for being so jovial on the phone with him, and when i objected he told me off for 'sniggering' at what he was saying. Well aparently i was sniggering anyway. I said i appologise but its an involuntry response to the rubish you are trying to feed me.

Anyway thats when i lost it. Politly, acuratly i explained to him that i pay T-Mobile for a service which is covered by a contract. In order to fulfil that contract t-mobile provide me with a SIM card that allows me to use the associated service. This sim card IS and remains t-mobile property. If this sim card or 'equipment' becomes faulty it is not my responsibility to repair or replace it, but T-Mobiles. He ranted on repeaiting his same rubish.

I told him ok then i refuse to pay you 10 pounds. Now i would like to see how you intend to provide me with the service you are contracually obliged to provide me.. i'm waiting?

Anyway he didnt budge, i told him to escalate it.. he said hold on let me check your account. When he came back he was half a man lol

I think he saw the times i had escalated to ofcom/their directors department and won damages. He might also have seen that i had VO'd a fair bit of their 2.5g network

anyway bottom line my new sim is on the way, but my old one gets disconnected some time today. I may actually have a HTC diamond by saturday, but no bloody sim to put in it!

This guy seems well dodgy...look at the stuff he has sold etc...and all of a sudden he starts selling the htc diamond and SE X1...i thought that wasn't going to be released till sept or something...and look at the price...too good to be true!

I tried getting his contact details since he registered in the uk but no luck...

[someone1234]

lol
If that's over the odds, how can you describe INKINO's price?
I may well buy from there - definitely faster and less dodgy than the other seller.

Inkino's expensive.. htcdirect is a bit cheaper 439 + 10quid for next day shipping.

Or play.com with the voucher 409 with free shipping (but it says 3 to 5 days i think for shipping).

But if you're like me and cant wait then use this guy :)

[mean-machine]

Or play.com with the voucher 409 with free shipping (but it says 3 to 5 days i think for shipping).

Play.com is not too bad with shipping times. The only invonvenience is the fact that they only send to home address, whereas some other stores send to work addresses (some of them call you in the work to confirm that it's not a scam). Can you share the voucher code, please? :)

[Dark Fire]

As long as you use a credit card these things are safe. You're always covered for fraud, non delivery etc. Just NEVER use a debit card when you're not sure.

Wow...That's a funny story. :)

Too many people and places are selling the Touch Diamond! There's too much choice. Hmmmm...I really need to think about this...

[Dark Fire]

less dodgy with 2 negatives in the last month selling iphones?

He appears to have had loads of iPhone sales go smoothly, and those two negatives are both by the same person. He has no other negative feedback - it's all positive. Also, he appears to have sold several other expensive things...

[SecureGSM]

I would strongly advise against purchasing from Phonesourse USA.

http://www.phonesource-usa.com/HTC-Touch-Diamond-In-Stock-P-492.htm
THEY DO NOT HAVE STOCK, but sell on eBay and on their website HTC Touch Diamond phones as IN STOCK ITEM. We have paid for the Diamond last week and now just received email from seller that they cannot ship till late next week due to low stock situation. This is rediculous! At this stage we have requested full refund and will be placing order with trusted seller.

[calico]

Hey, theres a cheaper version now:
http://www.mobilezero.ch/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=157

Why so cheap?

Orange Branding !
But not available and no actual launch date.
Only looks good in price search engines ...........

Agreed. Pre-orders I've had from them previously (K800i, N95, PS3, PS3 Games) have arrived on on my doorstep on their stated release day. Of course, that means they had received the stock at their warehouses in advance, which may not be the way HTC do things...?

Think the code for a 5% discount was: experience08

Only valid until the 31st May though...

[someone1234]

Hmm thats not too bad then. If this guy doesnt pan out i'll order from play.com

[someone1234]

Ok that guys seems to be genuine enough and says he'll ship on monday. BUT he can't provide a VAT receipt, which means i can't claim back the VAT when its expensed against the business. So i canceled the order with him. EDIT: He gave me a full refund, so i'm pretty sure he's a genuine guy.

So after all that i'm just going to order from one of the big retailers..

I just did a quick google to see if there was a better price and found this:

http://www.totalpda.co.uk/HTC/HTC-Diamond.7291.html

Don't get too excited, i called them and its NOT in stock, but they'll get it on 9th June. They do next day delivery (city-link) which is better than play.com.

If you use this voucher 'TDOFF15' you get 15 pounds off. Which after shipping costs gives you a final price of 406.77

If you spend over 449 you can use 'TDOFF30' to get 30 pounds off. Might be worth picking up a memory card for your camera or something to tip the price over 449.

Oh and voucher expires may 31st, so hurry :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention they said that it was suposed to be 6th June, but the delivery was pushed back to 9th June. This might explain why some sites ares till listing 6th June (inkino etc)

[notisz]

The guy i ordered my second diamond from hong kong yesterday on ebay (x1387 is the name)told me he shipped today....lets see if everything is ok...the other diamond i ordered from phonesources twodays ago ihavent heard any news from them eventhough they say they had it in stock.

[someone1234]

That's a very good price. I might get it from there now...

That voucher expires 31st May, and so does the play.com one (5% off to bring the price down to 409), so be careful you don't miss it!

I noticed their stock thing went down from 9+ to 8. Dunno what thats all about, maybe they are only getting 10 on monday.

[Dark Fire]

The voucher has expired...but mever mind. They're still pretty cheap.

Not impressed :(

The good thing about INKINO is that they do seem like people who they regularly financially rape. That might bring benefits in the future...

Also, to be fair, they are one of the best places for getting devices as soon as possible after they're released.

[rorydaredkign]

no way is it the best price, but its in stock for delivery wednesday [says tomorrow if you order by 4.30 but its 5..]
at EXPANSYS

Hahahaha...
You always react faster than me. :)
I should have posted it before I told you...

[someone1234]

holy crap, thats expensive! about 100 quid on top of the cheapest. I wonder how they got them early.

[Dark Fire]

I wonder how they got them early.

So do I. Very weird. I bet INKINO are annoyed now. Since I spotted that, just before Rory posted about it, the number in stock has gone down from 436 to 399, so they're going quickly...

[someone1234]

lol yeah. the best voucher i could find was 10 quid: BGZ0136627
[Not sure if it works.]

I'm just really anoyed at TotalPDA now, looks like i'll get mine NEXT thursday.

[rakh1]

Another TOTAL annoyance with TotalPDA. Checked their site on Fri and it said 9 in stock. Cancelled my order with Play and ordered with them. It stuck in pending all weekend and this morning I get a mail saying not in stock. I check the website again and it says there are 4 left!!! WTF!! I mail them and they reply saying they are not getting it until the 11th. Too late to go back to play now as the voucher has expired - I am pretty PISSED at these guys - advertising something in stock when it is not is crap - won't be using them again if I can help it...

[Dark Fire]

lol yeah. the best voucher i could find was 10 quid: BGZ0136627
[Not sure if it works.]

I'm just really anoyed at TotalPDA now, looks like i'll get mine NEXT thursday.

I'd be happy with next Thursday if it saved me that much money. I still might buy from TotalPDA. Dah...I really need to buy it somewhere soon, otherwise I'll end up with no Touch Diamond...

[someone1234]

Yeah i did say here that i called them and they said it was ariving on the 9th.
The guy on the phone said 'oh yeah that.. thats just to drum up business'.

I'm really anoyed too because on the phone they said 9th, now its the 11th. I should have stayed with play.com too.

I emailed them back and told them its misleading to be showing it as in stock when it isnt. I dont think they care. Maybe we should report them to trading standards. They try to make out they are some great professional company, but thats surely not the case.

[someone1234]

I'd be happy with next Thursday if it saved me that much money. I still might buy from TotalPDA. Dah...I really need to buy it somewhere soon, otherwise I'll end up with no Touch Diamond...

Well play.com was almost exactly the same price.

I personally think by monday its going to be in stock everywhere. If you google it there's about 15 online UK shops that say ariving 9th.

Well at least i'll see the iphone anouncement and might just cancel it still.

[Dark Fire]

Hmm...You've got a good case there. Maybe you could report them to Watchdog too.

[someone1234]

Hmm...You've got a good case there. Maybe you could report them to Watchdog too.

lol watchdog is a joke these days. At the end of every segment, they just read out the statement from the company and move on.

I'm tempted by expansys now because i'll claim the VAT back.. but its a difference of 350 vs 420ish, and with VAT it just goes over that 500 quid mark.. insane!

[KamaL]

I don't know about you guys, but I was going to buy this device, the only place would be E-Gadget Depot. I just got a email from the owner telling me he has it already in stock for 779$, a great price IMHO.

I bought from him my Trinity a year ago, and I must say all the transaction was superb. The owner replied to emails immediately and he helped me throughout the whole process.

Highly recommended. :D

1. Do others offer pouch?

2. I wonder if this is the same pouch which cleans the HTC Diamond, while removing from the pouch?

Wow that sucks! At least they don't charge you until its in stock.
Total PDA is now stock 11th, delivery 112th.
htcdirect.co.uk is still stock 6th
Inkino is still stock 6th
Most others are stock 9th

There's people on ebay who have it now, some HK, some in UK non UK spec, and some who claim to have UK spec.

If you go Tottenham Court road (or Edgware Road) you'll likely get a HK model (and pay more for it).

PS. it seems expansys (in stock for 500 quid) are selling imports lol, and HTC arent all that happy about it

[Taninpv]

Here (http://www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com/welcome/cart.php?target=product&product_id=1287&category_id=58) they are selling it for $764.35

Does anyone know if the Inkino shop will have these in stock tomorrow, or if it's just thier website?

Anyway I've called TotalPDA and they have told me they have just sent out their stock but will have a new batch in on Thursday 12th June and can deliver it for 13th.

Hi, I'm have a brand new shrink wrapped one available (bought for my wife - but she wants to stick to her Nokia E65 - will never understand women!!) Please send me a mail to photchan@gmail.com - With one year GLOBAL WARRANTY (Certain countries only) and with original receipt from the CSL shop in Hong Kong. Will sell for the same price as the CSL retail shop price (approx. GBP375 + shipping & paypal fees - can discuss).

There's no such thing as "Global Warranty". Buyers should check with their local HTC for tech support issues.

Hi - Are you willing to wager? I have a global warranty that is valid in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, and USA.

I have the card, and in fact i recently had it serviced in Singapore - but I bought it in Hong Kong.

Can take pictures of the warranty if so required so that you can read the fine print.

Thanks for your information photchan. You've clearly explained that warranty is only covered in those 5 countries, hence is not "Global"

So had your Diamond been serviced? Surprisingly you said it's "Shrink wrapped" .......

[photchan]

Thanks for your information photchan. You've clearly explained that warranty is only covered in those 5 countries, hence is not "Global"

So had your Diamond been serviced? Surprisingly you said it's "Shrink wrapped" .......

Ok let's break it down. I bought two units, one for myself and one for my wife who wants to continue using her nokia e65. So while in singapore my unit had some problems with the bluetooth, for which they did a software fix at the HTC Care shop there.

In regards to the warranty, HTC Calls it a "GLOBAL Warranty" and i had put in brackets that it only applies to certain countries and the receipt of the shop you bought it from must also state that it is covered by Global Warranty. My receipt from CSL does mention this.

Yes my wife's phone is still shrink-wrapped, never been opened. Photo of production date label and IMEI number is avaialble - and it is the exact unit you will receive.

Fully correct!

ANY device bought in or through Hong Kong ONLY carries Hong Kong Guarantee for example.

Why do you think they have so many different official ROM's?

My device, bought in Hong Kong, Made in Taiwan needs to be shipped back to HK, though I do LIVE in Taiwan...
as for pricing, do NOT buy at Hong Kong Intl Airport - too expensive.
Bought mine through Broadway at 5650 HKD which is cheaper than here in TW where it is now sold at 23.500 New Taiwan Dollar.

Bought it for 281 euro exactly, legal and in box, combined with a 1 year Data Unlimited (35 euro) plan that my parents'll pay.

got mine for 600 USD off ebay from plemix.com

it was 600 + 30 shipping + 70 taxes (damn customs)
but it was a 2 day delivery

so $700 USD total

sounds like you opened a new contract not a simfree phone. Still quite expensive for contract too!
