i frm india any idea which site to get it frm and tell can i get any version or all are the same pls help im a noooooooob

thanks guys
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deechte:
I don't know where to buy in India. However, devices sold in different countries have different ROM's. If you buy a device with a language different from your own you would have to hard splash it and upload a custom ROM from XDA or an official HTC ROM in another language. You'd be screwed if it would break and you would need to have it repaired under warranty. Then it has to have the original ROM it came with on it.

Such is the position of Expansys in this market, I'd doubt any delivery date from any other supplier if it's before the one Expansys are quoting. I just doubt HTC would deliver to any other supplier before Expansys.

expansys

After the original diamond import fiasco, (them selling dodgy grey imports as original UK stock) I am surprised that Expansys are even allowed to stock the Diamond2!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
Ah! I hadn't heard about that. Even so, I think I'm going to wait a couple of weeks until the stores have stock and then order. The pre-order deals around aren't exactly thrilling!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Thing is...the Diamond 1 didnt exactly drop that much even up till last month or so

This is going on prices at Expansys and the likes!

I paid the same price for the Diamond 1 and 2 but sold my Diamond 1 for around £150 so lost about £200 on it but such as life of technology and the times!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy CS:
Clove changed their date to 14th April now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
I was just about to post the same

~not in the slightest happy as I've already sold my Diamond so potentially, I'm phone-less now

Not Clove's fault but they should really have had it in concrete

Something along the lines of if HTC say 8th, and cannot then provide by 8th, then HTC should sell to Clove at a reduced rate for their customers (who have pre-ordered)

Simple really
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Thanks for the email

This is correct, the Diamond is now due to leave HTC factor this week and arrive with us towards the end of next week

This will still be the first UK stock

Thats from Clove

US Online Merchant....Fraud Website?

Caught these guys advertising on kijiji.ca

These price seem unreal. What do you guys THINK ?

Joke right?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
Run away, very quickly. No legitimate reseller I've ever seen adds moneygram or western union as payment options. Also selecting UK pounds as the currency when an item is added to your basket changes from 6% sales tax to 6% VAT which is rubbish since VAT is currently at 15%. Always remember, if it seems too good to be true then it probably isn't.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
So pretty much the Expansys date then. I'd have been surprised if suppliers would have shipped this Friday anyway, it being a public holiday for the whole country.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
If you held suppliers to such demands (and let's face it, HTC would just not send stock to Clove under those terms, and we'd all buy from elsewhere), then they'd simply make vague or very pessimistic predictions. Selling your phone seems a bit naive!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PugLord:
The release dates seem to vary as you can see from a quick google below.

Expansys have it at £417.98 (Includes Delivery) Release Date 15-April-09

Play.com have it at £399.99 (free Delivery) Release Date 17-April-09.

SuperEtrader have it at 400.13 (includes Delivery) Release 17-April-09

Amazon have it at £399.99 (Delivered FREE in the UK with Super Saver Delivery) Release Date 22-April-09
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] signs2006:
mmm...the release dates here in The Netherlands are at some suppliers earlier.

Some say i'm expect it this friday, some says next week.

this weekend i'm gonna call them again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Maybe... but not many vendors this day and age are that bad... HTC seem to have always been terrible with their timetables along with say Microsoft

When I had my Audi built in January, I was given a date for March... And that date was the latest I would get it - I got it 2 weeks before

Personally, I think that's great service because they knew if it was not to hit that date given, I would have most likely backed out or asked for a discount (the latter they would have done obviously)

Selling my phone was to work around this release date - I'm not phone-less however it was the principle.

Annoyingly, out of the 80 phones I have at home to repair currently, only one was in a remote state of using it as a phone and that was the C905... The bad news being it has no ear speaker :D

Having used this for 2-3 days now, I can't believe how much I appreciate having a "normal" phone to the point I >almost< backed out with Clove

Who knows...if they still can't provide by Tuesday (I know it is up to HTC to provide and not clove) I might just go away from my loyal HTC club afterall...

Ah well, lets see what happens now
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CR7KB24:
Can I trust this site

The site is called Clove Technology
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
That's not the same thing though. With your car, the lead time quoted is for the construction and delivery of a product that's already been designed and tested. Any apparent delays with the *launch* of the Diamond2 will be down to problems in the design, testing, bugs etc..

For a valid comparison, perhaps look at when they announced the V10 R8, vs when it actually became available, and how accurate/specific that date was.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salamt:
I did pre-ordered from clove and here is the email I got today:

"Unfortunately the first stock has been delayed by a few days to the 14th April.

We will ship the order when the stock arrives and the security checks completed."

Hope they wont delay it more :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Yup I posted that on the previous page :- )

Atleast you got an email! I did not even get that...only by chance I looked at the site and noticed the due date had changed to the 14th
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranesky:
I called expansys, said the stock would arrive at 15th April.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
I ordered mine from http://www.devicewire.co.uk/htc-touch-diamond2 for £394.99 including free delivery & a free official HTC car kit (offer still applies if you pre-order)

I spoke to them on the phone a couple of days ago and they say that they are on the same trading estate as the main UK distributor, so they will physically be able to pick up the stock and post on Tuesday 14/4 whereas other companies won't get the stock until the following day by courier and will then ship them.

I haven't found it any cheaper (incl p&p) anywhere else on the net and I've spent ages looking around!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] root beer:
Why are people buying the phone on its own when it's cheaper to get a 12month contract. E.g. 12 month with t-mobile = £29.36 x 12 = £352.32

Plus £18.99 for the phone = £371.31

Am I missing something?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaevy:
I would also buy the diamond II with an carrier contract, but unfortunatly there is no carrier in Austria that sells the diamondII :mad:. So I ordered mine at amazon.com...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuflie:
Sounds like a good deal, where did you see it? Just left t-mobile for O2 because of the reception I get here, but wouldn't really be bothered as I just want the phone to replace a Touch HD I lost on holiday.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] root beer:
Take a look on the thread below (O2 one) and there is a link on there to the website - don't want to look like I'm pushing the website by direct linking.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
I want to stay with Vodafone and I don't believe they are offering this phone on any 12 month contract, hence the need to buy sim-free and then get a sim-free contract from Vodafone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swissman:
how disappointed... I should have received it tomorrow and I see this morning that the french (in Switzerland) version is delayed untill beg. May...

not disappointed... frustrated! :-(

EDIT: here is the answer: "Thank you for your email. The device is new and the distributor has shifted the delivery date of all devices. We hope that they will finally arrive on the beginning of May."
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Clove have also now changed their release date from today to tomorrow ..."expected" anyway

If it was to change to May, I'll cancel it and go with the HD which I can get cheaper now anyway
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garneth:
I've just spoken with Devicewire and they say the delivery has been stopped at Customs. They now quote arrival on Thu 17/4 with delivery Fri 18/4.

Where can you get the HD cheaper please?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
Place called CeX or Computer Exchange in the UK

Don't be fooled by their second hand market there...they buy a lot of goods from people as unwanted upgrades so most of their Grade A stock is still as good as sealed (just opened to see it's in there)

Also get the usual 1 yr guarantee

HD on Grade A Unlocked (So you should get a genuine HTC device in most cases) is showing as £410

I know someone there so I can get it for £350 roughly after staff discount - it's long-winded but if the diamond2 is having issues then I'll just jump boat and go the HD way + suffer with the larger size

End of the day, it's still £50 cheaper than the Diamond2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garneth:
Tks.

Must admit to being slightly concerned at some opinions regarding the TD2 processor and the phone generally being not much of an upgrade. I always find it difficult to make decisions like this.

Just checked out the Palm Pre on Youtube too...wow, what a UI. Having not experienced Touchflo, I wonder if the Pre is better???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philaldred:
I have also pre-ordered from devicewire, getting a bit annoyed now, first it was the 9th then 14th, now 17th! gonna have to pay for saturday delivery or i wont get it till the monday!!! I hope its not going to be a continuing date change.

Thing that really gets to me is I got no email when the dates were changed etc...and I also got no email about the address issue - it was only because >I< emailed them for an update that I even found out about the address issue!

Anyway rant over, I've just sent one back to say just send it to my card address so lets see what happens.

My suspicions are I will get it on Friday now because it's already gone 4pm which generally is the cut off for royal-mail/couriers depending on who they use ... some companies I know have a slightly later cut off period.
