US Source For Leo?

---

I'm looking for a reputable US source for the Leo. Someone who ships when they say they will and doesn't charge your account until the unit is shipped. I don't need 3G because it's not available where I am 90% of the time. Would like to have the unit in-hand by November 19th. Any recommendations?

Maybe try Expansys USA, although I've never purchased through them so can't comment on the shipping. I did pre-order once (later canceled) and they definitely didn't charge my card ahead of any shipment.

I've always ordered from Clove UK and have an HD2 on pre-order with them. While they aren't a US source they've been top notch in every aspect which keeps me coming back.

Hope that helps and I'm sure you'll get plenty of other suggestions for retailers .

you can go for clove or handtec. they ship to US.
im thinking which comany i will go for. clove is 15 years old. a little bit higher than handtec

I'm hoping to get it from t-mob usa for the 3G in 1st Q (that's if I can wait that long ).

But have dealt is Clove UK in the past which is top shelf!

Clove is top notch and they are very friendly to deal with. Always have been truthful about stock and they ship ultra-fast. They usually have a DHL option for a little extra $$ you can have it next day.

I haven't had a great experience with Expansys-USA. Usually take longer to ship and have been untruthful about stock.

I really miss having the Euro HTC units support quad-band HSPA. I need 3G too much to upgrade to the HD2 yet. I hope at&t will carry it.

Thanks for starting this thread as I was curious about who to go with as well. I'm certainly new around here so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but if I got the HD2 from one of the places mentioned, would it work on Verizon's network here in the States? I'm not too up on all the bands and what works on what. Cheers!

No problem for the question. The HD2 will work just fine on EDGE/GSM in the US but the version being released in the coming weeks won't support 3G. So the short answer is, yes it will work but without 3G . I'll miss not having 3G speeds but there's always using Wi-Fi to make up for it.

There is a confirmed HD2 for T-Mobile USA coming in early 2010 that would support T-Mob's 3G bands. There may be a variant for Verizon and AT&T that supports 3G as well so keep checking the Leo threads for any news.

I Hope soon we have the HD2 for AT&T or sim free with US 3G!

Thanks for the info. I had heard the rumour about the HD2 for T-Mobile, but didn't know it had been confirmed. I'll have to hold out then as we don't have T-Mobile or AT&T where I'm at out here in the boonies.

Yes, this had been my hope until I got to wondering how the branding might affect possible use of custom ROMs. I'd give up 3G (never have had it) for xda communities ROM's, if indeed the carrier branding prevents updating the wider selection of ROMs.
