Need urgent help... I stay in singapore and my handset has been dispatched through DHL... any idea do we need to take local telco clearance for this handset... any international order whats the norm?? I know we need to pay GST but anything more??

thanks
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Nah, I think they got sick of people emailing them everyday asking about their order status. And HTC doesn't help by not being able to supply phones quickly enough to online retailers. I'm happy I ordered early from them and got my phone a couple of weeks ago.
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
Dear just now they sent the pre-order of 30th September ???????????????

how about end of October at least will be on December

best thing cancel the order and take it from local shop its released.

when i make my pre-order the local shop said at least mid November and that time on clove website say early November and now released on the shop and nothing from clove really sick wit this website and this first and last time i will make deal with them
[Desire HD General] kafkatamura:
How is the build quality. I read a lots of issues with the Sim cover and battery cover dont fit properly. And there is a gap?
[Desire HD General] kafkatamura:
Galaxy S did not come loaded with Market Place in the UAE. That was way irritating. I had to flash my phone to get it on. But some one saying replying my post that he found Market place.

Price seems same as UK. But yes will go down after few months.
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
am in Abudhabi and i will see if i can get one :(
[Desire HD General] suhas_sm:
my dad is currently in Cincinnati, Ohio, US. I want to him get DHD for me from there. Where and how can he buy the phone. Are there any shopping portals for US selling DHD ? Will it available over the counter at electronics store. If anyones from cincinatti.. pls guide me with this.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
I do not think It is being sold in USA right now and ever will be?
[Desire HD General] kafkatamura:
YEs you can. Mobile market in Defence road selling for 3000.
[Desire HD General] kafkatamura:
No this wont be sold in the USA. DHD does not support the USA 3G. So it wont.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
You can't buy it in the USA, but you can buy it online, and have it shipped to you. I did that. Used SuperEtrader.co.uk. Only took 3 days to get here. Not bad!
[Desire HD General] suhas_sm:
How much did it cost to u ?
[Desire HD General] supapawa:
SuperEtrader in the UK still have some phones available on their November 15th batch, they have confirmed it in a correspondence I had with them today (yes on a Sunday!).

I ordered and plan to cancel my order with Clove.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
$725 USD total including international shipping.
[Desire HD General] Raspster:
May be coming to our buddies up north.. If so, it will work on at&t 3g as Telus uses the 850/1900 band.

http://phandroid.com/2010/11/05/htc-desire-hd-coming-to-canadas-telus/

If your in the US and can't wait, I'm pretty sure Verizon will be launching the Incredible HD which is basiclly the US version of the Desire HD with some extras.. Possibly 4G (LTE) front camera video calling... Sappose to launch week of thanksgiving.
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
canceled my oreder with clove worst site that i ever seen before

searching for another :(
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
Good luck, please let us know if you find one
[Desire HD General] suhas_sm:
So do you mean they are out of stock ?
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
Yes they mostly are out in the UK
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Yeah. All the online retailers like Clove, Handtec etc are out of stock.
[Desire HD General] RandyKaoss:
They are like gold dust in the UK at the moment.

I pre-ordered mine a while ago from www.buymobilephones.net - they said that HTC have indicated that there will not be a new batch until Monday 15th November, and that's not guaranteed!

Hopefully this means that HTC are trying to fix the dodgy build quality seen on some of the DHDs.

Getting impatient, but I'd rather wait and get a handset that's perfect rather than one that's been rushed out of the factory.
[Desire HD General] GeoMil:

This!!!
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
I AM ON THE BACKLIST From ORANGE

they said they had a batch in on friday and they failed there testing

they have more in now and are testing as i type

make of that what you will
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Just received mine from a spanish online store!!!

It's gorgeous!!!

I'm having it charging the battery as recommended by the manual... ughhh I want so much to begin to play with it...

As from what I can see, the power button it's ok. Can't say I see any big gaps on the whole device...

It was a bit difficult to open the battery cover... most on the right side of it... it seems a little bit weak cover

Ohh, the back cover seems to me like dark grey (with some greenish tones), with the sim and battery cover more darker...

The model is the HTC Desire HD A9191

Does all the european models are A9191 ?!?!
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
@onesolo,

How much did you pay for it and is it unlocked and unbranded as well?
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
I'm somewhere on that list too.....
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
There now are some sources that say that HTC has problems with getting some parts and that there are production errors. Because of this the delay is going to be until December.

Stil waiting for more confirmation. But if so, it will effect all countries.

( I personally just got a message from the store I bought, that HTC is having trouble with some parts and that it will be solved within: A COUPLE of weeks. :( )
[Desire HD General] Lunatictz:
LOL lack of aluminium? haha

thanks for the info, anyone got any news of this also?

hearing the word weekS already screwed me, but also the word COUPLE haha

dam im never getting this phone at this rate ! really hope they stick with 15th ~
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
omg if that is true i don't know what im going to do.
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
Well just was on the phone with the store I have the order.

It will take at least three weeks in the Netherlands before the delivery is a bit better, but it could also take a lot longer.

The most reasonable and explainable reason is that there are too many inconsistancies with the production and too many problems.

I'm cancelling my order. The dualcore processors are near (wich are a pretty big step forward) and by the time I get mine if unlucky, they are already announced.

Also, I will be working somewhere else from Januari and I probably get a phone and abbo, also for personal use.
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Isn't China currently playing the fool with exports of rare earth minerals?? (some of which hi-tech devices use).

Could that be affecting production?
[Desire HD General] supapawa:
I think that stores should know now if stock that they are supposed to get next monday, is not going to be supplied - as it takes time to arrange high volumes of stock.

That said, if there are problems with this device, I'll seriously consider canceling my order and buying a different product. 2 months of wait?? for a phone???
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
just got a update from orange uk CS

just had 2500 units in, now on test and "should be released end of this week..

or begining of next week....

hummm i hate this waiting game :(
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
any update on the latest delays?
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
+1+1+1+1+1
[Desire HD General] Rayfstralia:
Got Mine!

Desire HDs came out on Monday in Melbourne! Got mine as soon as I found out!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Supreme, OMG, don't tell me your still waiting for your DHD, I've had mine three weeks now and I remember you had pre ordered??

Whats going on?
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
vodafone uk have stock!

come on orange pull your finger out,or ill be getting my code and moving! :mad:
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Where to??

wherever you order from you'll have to join the back of their queue. (unless you have the spondoolicks to just go buy one on the high-street?)

oh - did you get the £10 off offer from Orange to make up for the delay?? I was given £10 off the first month's contract (IIRC) if the delay stretched another 10 days (from either Monday, or last Friday, can't remember when I last spoke to them - think it was Friday).
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
im really losing hope rixsta.. it just seems this phone will never be dispatched. Handtec are expecting stock sometime next week but i wouldn't be surprised if its pushed back again :/
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
this was the title to my post

"vodafone uk have stock!" ;)

orange have promised to call me...we shall see

voda have just called back and i can have the phone in my hand tomorrow
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
Still waiting too. Ordered Oct 18th from handtec.

I think the same day as you
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
yeah 18th as well. if only i had ordered 5 days earlier lol.
[Desire HD General] RandyKaoss:
I pre-ordered on October 6th from BuyMobilePhones and I'm still waiting! They've only had one small batch so far, with another one due next week.

The deal is so good though (and no longer available) so I'm happy to sit it out...

Can't wait till it's finally in my grubby mitts! :D
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
lol oct 18th here to :)

was so devastated when last batch only went until the 13th :(

id try and convince a local vodafone store to sell it to me but im sure it would be alot more expensive than what i paid at handtec. besides the extra weeks wait means it will get delivered right after my exams are over :D
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
Cancel from the clove :) :) :)
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
Thanks for god for the dealy ;i already canceled my order with clove and now read the monster of SE named SE X12

will have TI OMAP4 1.5GHz processor, Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a 4.3-inch AMOLED 1080×720 resolution screen. The 10mm thick Xperia X12 is also expected to sport a 12 megapixel camera.

THEY WILL OPEN THE PRE-ORDER ON CHRISTMAS :)))))))
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Hah. Good luck with Sony Ericsson mate. They tend to release their phones years after they are announced and are slow as with updates. The x10 just recently got updated to 2.1. Just ask any x10 owner if they still like their device.
[Desire HD General] Hussien7:
OFFICIALLY SE announced to be up datable to foryo 2.2 mid of December

i think this first device because it released on march ???????
[Desire HD General] Troden:
Updates? What updates!

I had a SE p990 one of the first touch screen mobiles on the market. i could not sync via bluetooth as there was a known issue and i just needed to 'wait for the update'. 2 years later the issue was finally solved when i purchased a different mobile. they never managed to get the update out either.

SE = Fail
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Just spoke to Orange....

according to the operator I spoke to they had a batch of 2,500 DHDs in, but they didn't pass testing, and they've come back in yesterday, so should be re-tested ready to go out sometime today (apparantly - that's a fecking fast turnaround).

the back order list is apparantly about 500 names long - so we should all get phones, assuming they pass testing today/tomorrow.

Also was told that the offer I got last time I called of a £10 rebate should never have been made to me (not in their policy docs at all), but nevertheless the operator said she'd chase it up and I should still get it. :)
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
my fingers and toes are all crossed :)
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
orange uk are in stock now!

on the phone now and i will have it tomorrow :)
[Desire HD General] RandyKaoss:
Yeah, buymobilephones just said that they have received a huge batch of DHDs on Orange.

I'm waiting on T-Mobile...looks like Tuesday before I will see my handset.
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Did you get a text from them to confirm the contract? Then rang them back?
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
no orange called me...as i was waiting so long
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
where did you read about this? link please.
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
OMG!!!

they shouldn't have called me and told me that....

they now say they haven't releasae the handsets yet????????

ORANGE CS just go a right mouth full from me....15 years with them...not happy!
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Interesting.... the retentions operator I spoke to this morning claimed she couldn't call out of her department!

Might give them a bell before I head home, although they have repeatedly said I should wait for the txt message before ringing them back.
[Desire HD General] pingualot:
Ive loked on the web and the only info on that is that it has a 4.3 inch screen, 1080p video recording and HDMI out. No specs other than that.
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Ouch.

oh well - I'm off tomorrow so won't be able to receive it until Monday. Hopefully they should have sorted their behinds from the mid joint of their arms by then...
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
PDAshop.NL pushed their sim free's delivery date to 26th Nov.

Any one knows where i can buy an Sim free phone in NL...[Probably in Stock??]
[Desire HD General] RandyKaoss:
Today BuyMobilePhones said they received enough DHDs from Orange to clear all back orders.

Someone's telling porkies!
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
Ok now i definatly canceled my order :p

[Desire HD General] smaragdhk:
Got official word today from Hong Kong CSL1010 that the Desire HD will go on sale on Nov 22. No word on the Desire Z. CSL1010 seems to have the exclusivity for at least a month.
[Desire HD General] guide144:
Got my DHD from High street store in London

Finally, I got my DHD from Local Store (CPW) in bond street, London after been walked and asked around for many weeks. at first, few days ago I have been ask and they said they out of stock at the moment. Some of PW even said they will not gonna sell as handset only anymore due to high demand (which is a big lied!!! I havbe been ask around my area more than 10 store and each of them always not give me a same answered)

So last night I went to one store before I got home and they said they will sell but out of stock. however, they have been try to using their system to search other store for stock and found a few have in store... once of them even have 7 devices!!! so I took my chance and go visit the 7 devices store first... and the answer was same..... "we do not sell as PAYG (simfree) and none of our store will only with contacted only."

Then, I went out and give up on CPW..... because of his words. but I did remember that the first store also said that the store in bond street have it too (not sure how many they have). and as I said above...

I hope that my small store can still give someone a hope to get this device from High-street.... one lesson I have learned is never listen to the seller because difference store have difference answer... keep try!!! :)
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
If its anything like there other phones....no thanks.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
wow you still didn't received your DHD...

I already got mine, but from a spanish store...
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Thanks a lot for Hong Kong update.

Is there any chance some big chain retailers can sell it before that date like Broadway/Fortress?
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
when i was in HK if found these stores where no cheaper than buying from the U.K :(
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Um why would you cancel your preorder for the DHD when we just got permanent root? You can load up any rom you want (including stock Gingerbread) when they become available (and they will). The DHD has far superior build quality and specs i imagine will be similar, Nexus S might shade the DHD but they difference wont be noticeable.
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
good news

will have the phone on monday from orange :)
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
I know big chain retailers in HK tend to sell products more expensive compared to other stores but here is the IPAD comparison. Yet HK prices are much cheap.

You can see HKD prices via fortress web site.
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
its ok as long as you don't get hit by uk import duties....i hate the tax man :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] robbieraw:
Did you receive a text from Orange or did you call them? I've been told (several times now ;)) that I'm on the back list.
[Desire HD General] liamhere:
they called me (07973100194)

it all kicked off with that person (mark).....don't ask...its shocking!

i then phoned to leave orange and they then sorted things out.

the 2nd person i called (margret) said they shouldn't have called me...you have to wait for a text with a code to get your handset....hope this helps
[Desire HD General] robbieraw:
Thanks for the information. I've already rang upgrades twice today and on each occasion I've been told to wait for the 'elusive' text. I guess for now that's all I can do :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
For those of you in Germany and Switzerland, this has just been posted on the official facebook page of HTC Deutschland:

www.facebook.com/htcde#!/htcde?v=wall

Basically it says DHD is now available in Germany and Switzerland. Those in Switzerland will begin to receive their phones starting next Monday. Next week, there will be an update on Desire Z's availability.

I hope Amazon will update my order status soon :)
[Desire HD General] Redbilly007:
Hi All, why is it that other companies sell the DHD online, The Orange shop in Manchester has them in stock (but can't match my deal by ringing Orange direct!) but Orange direct is still "TESTING" them? or do they mean that they are loading all their sh!tware onto them?!?

p.s. sorry for the rant, I am still awating my text :-)
[Desire HD General] eikasia:
I phoned Orange on Tuesday (9th Nov) to ask how long I had left on my contract and discovered I had been out of contract since October 16th. The guy I spoke to quoted some "retention deals" and when i asked about the DHD, was told that it had come in stock that morning and was undergoing testing to be released on Thursday (11th Nov); he said he could phone me back on Thursday to arrange it then. Thursday morning get a phone call; arranged for a free handset, £12 a month off my contract and it'd be delivered the next morning. Got to work this morning, and at about 10am a courier arrives with my DHD! Couldn't be happier; for once Orange are on the ball!
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
It's confirmed, there is yet another delay :(

The following is from clove's blog
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
dont tell me its handtec :mad:
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
im sure they will delay too :(

so sad.
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
OMG enough with the delays, others have the phone in their hand and can use it without problems, why the delays :(??

why you are sure :(?? dont be sure it's better :p

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Tottenheimer:
I am trying to use the HTC Aria to connect with my laptop using the pocketcloud app. I have vista on my computer is this even possible? and if so how do i remotely connect? If not is there another program that will allow me to do the same thing?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kaschenberg:
Yes, it's possible. It's just using the RDP protocol. Very simply to setup. Right-click My Computer and you can set it up from there. Then just connect via your IP address.

[General Questions and Answers] twink0_0:
I have just been given an O2 Zest that I intended to use as a cordless Skype phone at home via Wi-Fi. It was working but the screen was out of calibration and it was hard to find the side bar even in landscape mode. I tried a soft reset to no avail. I then tried the reset in one of the menus that required a password (1234). Now, on power-up, it stops at Align Screen. I have found the original 02 upgrade firmware in a zip file on the O2 site. Should I unzip & load this onto the phone via the micro SD (if so, how?) or am I wasting my time? Is there another solution or have I a brick?

14 September Update

I have now been able to move onto the home screen using Remote Screen Alignment from Code Factory. It is claimed that the screen can be realigned using the stylus but I cannot find any valid hot locations on the screen. If I run the upgrade firmware will that have the valid alignment parameters as a file included?
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Guys apparently the new sense is available soon (December) for the Desire

Sorry for bad translation, I just slapped it into google translate :P

Original link :

http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=4018&tid=4520460

you might need google translate :P
[Desire General] Xairo:
Great! I hope they release it before Dezember.
[Desire General] ragdoll20:
real nice!!!
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
indeed, I can't wait myself :D

btw, just read through the google translation...lol, even I can't understand what it's saying...have to refer back to the original article XD
[Desire General] cagra:
If you run the entire article through google translate it says:

"Another good news is to hand Desire the user to hear. HTC said the new Sense Desire interface will extend to the entire family, so Desire can also upgrade the way through, enjoy the convenience brought new Sense interface, while supporting HTCSense.com. As for the upgrade schedule, HTC said that probably about 12 months or so."

So in a year, and not around december

http://translate.google.com/transla...mobile/talk/?prod_id=4018&tid=4520460&act=url
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
no my friend, the google translator failed there. I read mandarin and i know what it says ;)

we say the 12th month instead of december ;)

guess what, i will do a proper translation tomorrow, for now I need to lie down and rest...:D
[Desire General] hamdir:
to be honest December seems like a reasonable date, i believe it's coming, white desire will be launched end of month, Desire Z and HD simply complete the family and it's T3's phone of the year ;)
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
Really? I thought the White Desire was launched long time ago...:P

anyway, proper translation up ;)
[Desire General] ULJ:
Very cool. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the info :)
[Desire General] irkan:
good news! thanx for sharing, i still think that the desire should have been compatible since the beginning of htcsense.com, dont think it needs more than "htc hub" app and some ROM tweaks.

anyways, cant blame HTC for marketing the Desire Z and HD as a priority as long as they will not leave the original Desire behind
[Desire General] venkig:
Oh neat! This should be really cool :) Hope they release to all the regions once and not do it batches!

I am already loving htcsense.com with HD Roms.
[Desire General] chichoko:
Holy bazoombas! Thats the best news i've had for the whole month! Now I can finally rest in peace and go pass an exam or two :rolleyes:
