I finally got my XDA II today.
So I join the club again. I really felt lost with out my XDA..
I bought it in HK and sent it over to NL together with an nice Blue Tooth headset of Logitech.Paid 637 Euro for the XDAII.
Not bad hey? Im as happy as a clam!
No problem at all getting it through the Dutch customs?

Neah.. To you have any idea how many packages go through NL customs each day...?
Of course there is a risk.
But still if you have to pay 19% is ok. (Im not sure that the import tax is for this item. (between 4 - 14%)
I also have some contacts in HK that arranged XDAII for me.

Hi
On my BA there were some tools to do this. I am assuming that they have not yet been created for the universal yet (unless I am missing something?)
I tried the BA ones (nothing to loose), to no avail.
On my BA, I always used to cherry pick what I wanted from the extended rom post install.

currently you can't unlock the extended rom, but with totakcommander you can type /Extended_Rom on the commandline and you'll see the content of the folder. You can start the .cab files from there or copy them to the SD card.
You can't copy anything back to the extended rom.

Cheers Wolfgang!

Yeah... Dopod from Michael (mwang) arrived today as well, but they want me to pay the custom fee... oh well...
So it is now blocked at the post office and i have to give them proof of it's price.. hmm.... or something like that...
buzz
Yaeh, i know the feeling about customs charges, i bought a Top-Gun style leather jacket from the US and it cost me an extra 54 quid on import tax and VAT
Anyway, you'll love the universal, it is so much better than the old xda ii, even Mel (the missus) likes it.....
Speak to ya soon. if you want me to test anything for ya, as always, no problems....

I've had that before, and not far from you either
I buy a lot of stuff from eBay, but all the customs crap (not just the fees, but all the paperwork and delays) made me limit most of my purchases to the EU. I still get stuff from the US, and the far east sometimes, but mostly just items with small (declared) value, that can slip through.
There I come to my point: I see that you have to provide a proof of the price like I had to. Since I had a private ebay purchase, I could only print the receipt from the website. As most of the gadgets I got were very uncommon, a few times I took the liberty and changed some numbers on the receipt. Nothing outrageous, of course, but still. The cumulative 8% import duty +25% VAT pissed me off a lot...
You might want to consider this if they ask for half your kingdom...

how much is it selling in RMB? which part of china u from pal?
IF ya check out DopodAsia site, is avail for China and Taiwan only.
Wonder why it takes so long for the rest of Asia.. Is it due to English ROM.. Hmm..

Well,In China,Artemis sells as dopod P800W,it costs RMB¥ 6900($880/€700)
But the smuggled one from Taiwan cost only RMB¥ 5500($700/€550),it's much cheaper.
I'm from Guangdong/Canton.
Guys,
can anyone help me with the problem i'm having with my excalibur? the battery connector seem to broken, but i had asked the distributor (sistech indonesia) for the replacement. unfortunately, they dont have the spare part right now, they told me that i had to wait three months (wtf?)
so, if anyone has the quickest solution (preferably, in jakarta) for my problem, i'll be happy to hear it soon...
many thanks in advance...

Under the branding XDA Orbit. Since flashing it WiFi does not work. Therefore selling on eBay as too much time consuming to try and repair.

Let's count here to see actually how many Touch Pro 2 owners are here
I'm guessing there are more visitors than owners on this rhodium site
Hi,
After Kaiser, Raphael, I have now a french Rhodium unbranded (unfortunatly for hard spl with samsung chip).

I bought mine from CLOVE.CO.UK on May 30th .
I had it sent to a friend's address in London as I couldn't risk loosing it or getting it stuck at customs here in Istanbul.
So I flew to London just for a day to pick it up from my friend )))
It was the most expensive phone I ever bought

Couldn't you just buy out HTC for that money?
I like to be the first to own some things and there is cost for that which I am willing to pay.
I remember flying to Germany to buy the Sony Ericsson P1i on the first date it was ever released......
The funny thing I went in the morning and flew back home the same day and the German police at the passport control couldn't understand why I would fly to another country to buy a phone and return home the very same day, he tought I was upto something else

Does it count that I have had 4 so far? Sent 3 back for being faulty.
I'm sure there is more than 100 owners, especially with all the comments going round in this forum.

Not really an option in the poll for me. I haven't "already ordered", but I couldn't be further from "No Thanks".

If you figure out how please add "once it hits my carrier I will own it" because the US carriers have not released it yet.
Got it two weeks ago. Prefer SPB Mobile Shell 3 over TouchFlow3D.

I'm sorry it won't allow me.
But anyway , thinking of buying and ordering the the thing are two different things. You may think of buying TP2 but but decide on a Nokia N97 for example, this could affect the outcome of the Poll When you bought it or ordered it, you could vote here
Seems like so far only 66 of us , I doubt we could make it to 100 owners..
got one about a week back.
got mine for a while now and touchflo 3d beats mobishell on tp2.
Agree with Shingers here, having tried SPb Mobile Shell, I much prefer TF3D. Smooth, intuitive and well, just very pretty! (=
It's the thing that most impresses people when I take out my phone and *ahem* brag a little. I bought mine about two weeks ago. Unlocked, generic ROM, unbranded HTC, roughly 800 dollars.
GOt my tmobile one, for free
Got mine 3 weeks ago - ordered in uk! perfect companion so far with some bugs left...
