damn those scammers! trying to scam me on ebay and have me send a g1 to nigeria..jerks
nice thinking man i was going to let the price get the best of me but you saved me..thank you
Scam for sure be carefull
lol and they use a yahoo account
http://largesseworld.com has the same offer, selling Touch Pro2's for $500. I emailed the contact asking if this was a typo or if they had them, and got a reply from Mr. Tim Cuhls
that read:
Yes we have it in stock and ready to be shipped.
Shipping is Overnight.
Send me your delivery address.
Who asks for a delivery address like that? After a bit of research I found out that TP2 release date is 6/1. I replied, asking about that, and was told:
We have them directly from HTC.
I'm thinking definitely a scam. The pictures I've seen of others selling them actually make me think of cheap Chinese knockoffs, too.
only prototype devices are out, and given to some telco ppl, no actual production devices are in the market yet...
pleas be careful of scam....

I honestly don't think there is a way to but a touch pro 2 before they actually start making them lol I am sure there are a few but they aren't actually producing them in masses and the few that do exist aren't for sale, or at least I am pretty sure about all that
Tell them to just forward a handset serial number confirmation prior to shipping so you can validate authenticity with HTC....
I'll bet you get a tumbleweed to blow across your desk before you get a response.
SCAM!!!!!
It is definitely a small scale scam, they are using a 30 day trial from a company who helps you build an on-line store, They do not have any products and will take your money.
man.... if it's too good to be true.......
All Scams!
Trust me, ive been looking. Tired of buying wack att branded phones so this time gonna just not be a cheap ass and but an unlocked htc original tp2. I mean even when its branded its gonna be an easy $300 with 2yr contract. Might as well pay a few bills more for the unbranded. Ive seen them now online as low as $300! For sure scams! Id wait til end of this year to buy one when they are in full circulation.
It would be funny to ask one of them why they are selling them so cheap if they actuallly could sel;l them for like 2-3 times more because they arent out yet and see what they say.
what would be even funnier to ask is how they are sellling them when HTC hasn't started making them yet lol they only made a few models for tests ext. but they actually haven't made any to be sold yet.
According to this http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/16/unlocked-htc-touch-pro2-to-retail-for-880-touch-diamond2-for/ HTC has set the price for the TP2 at $880.
Unbranded TP2 planned for 659,99€ (860$) in france. The status is unavailable now...

they said they will be mailing the parcel with international courier. they also warned me that once the parcel leaves their office for delivery to my address, they really can't control if any customs duties are applied once the parcel enters indian borders.... i am also scared that customs officials might take some bribe to give my parcel.... this also couldnt be confirmed from the company side selling this product that it will not happen like that....
thats the sole reason i am very much apprehended to book online... bloody india... it will never ever mature... people r so sick... being an indian, its a shame for me to tell this very true fact.... i hate to be an indian....
sorry for going off topic.... i wanna know for sure that desire reaches me without any problem from UK to INDIA once i make purchase online from either handte.co.uk/clove.co.uk.....
kindly anyone throw some light on this issue.... even local courier people are not aware of the fact that it will be delivered for sure....

Did you ship it with a courier like DHL or the regular Airmail? DHL are almost guaranteed to pass it through customs but airmail depends.
Nice to see that you are ashamed of your own country you idiot!!! Ever thought of paying the damn customs duty because you ARE SUPPOSED to? Morons like you keep putting the country to shame. Grow up and be responsible for what you owe to the country.
Now that I have it off my chest, either you can get it imported from outside and leave it to destiny how the phone reaches you; ask someone you know abroad to buy it and get it along for you or wait till its launched in India so you can LEGALLY buy it by paying the full amount owed for the phone .... And please keep your anti-national drivel off these boards the next time. Hating your country is sooooo 1970s!!!
I've shipped quite a lot of expensive stuff, and normal stuff to India, mainly Chennia but also to Pune via couriers such as DHL and it's always got there. Post / airmail is a different matter - I just wouldn't trust it, for some of the reasons you mention. In my experience as long as a good courier is used then you will be OK.
Clove etc are quite right in not being able to guarantee delivery to you or custom charges, these are completely outside of their control. Importing stuff into the UK can be the same - sometimes I've been charged, sometimes not, and that's without trying to dodge the import tax. You should expect to pay the import duty and add that to how much to plan to spend on the phone if you want to get it before it's sold in India.
As the previous poster seems to suggest there are legal restrictions preventing you importing the phone then you may want to think twice or get someone from the UK to buy it for you and send it out.
India's not such a bad place there are plenty worse.
P.S I understand you're frustration, I know many people that feel the same as you.

i think i have right to express what i feel. this is a community forum & it has several members...and moreover india is not urs only... it belongs to all of us who are residing in here...moreover, being a citizen of this country, i have legal right to express what is good & what is bad in this country, which is an effort to improve the standards which are prevalent in this country as a plague & not in any way to degrade the value of my own country....
i hope i have conveyed what i meant by those words to you now.... stop judging people so impatiently, dont jump to conclusions right away buddy... nobody likes here to listen to the preachings from other members unless they r so morons to do it intentionaly... got it ???
keeping my responses to ur false allegations aside, i have mentioned it clearly in the post that is there anyone who has imported a parcel like mobile phone from UK to INDIA. i was expecting answers from people who have done what i was asking for, not that we r having a debate about the system/conditions in INDIA....
waiting for a genuine response from a valid members who care to help me rather than preaching me how to behave on public forums. i hope no one expects such treatments from other members... i assume all are well behaved and well educated here... thanks for giving me an opportunity to express my views on this issue...

I would assume it to be the same as people found when trying to import Nexus Ones and iPads to the UK. When they could be bothered, the customs charged them the VAT and some got it through without paying the VAT. I am sure I have read it on one of the other forums that a guy shipped a Nexus One through DHL from US to UK and the DHL guys asked him to come and collect it as he had not paid the VAT on the phone.

I really couldn't tell you. I know DHL charge a small fee (€4 over here) of their own if they have to collect customs charges but since i've never been to India I can't really tell you how much you'll pay in customs.

thanks buddy... i will try ordering it tomorrow.... lets see what happens at customs. i will pay extra 2.5k INR if the customs officials ask me.... what to do, i need to compromise to get the things what i want right ???
Sure I mentioned this to you before, but here we go again. I ordered mine from Clove and shipped it with their express to Pune. They Use Fedex not DHL. I did get my parcel within 3 days. It had been opened for customs check, but nothing tampered with. Did have to pay around INR 6000 on delivery for the local delivery service and the Customs duty fees. Good luck
Does anyone have any experience buying the HTC Desire from China?
I read that the Nexus One has been cloned. I see no official report that the HTC Desire has also been cloned, but I have noticed a lot of suppliers selling the Desire through Alibaba. I am wondering if these are clones too.
Today I bought an HTC Desire off eBay from China which is supposed to be brand new in the box.
It was rediculously cheap - 50-60% cheaper than the cost of an HTC Desire from a US seller.
Now I am worried it's a clone.
I have protection from eBay PayPal so I should be ok, but I am curious to hear what people think.
Also, does anyone know of a program which will read and tell me the hardware specifications of my HTC? I'm looking for one of those apps like Intel provides to give you the model and serial number of your processor on your PC. I figure this is one way of confirming whether I have a real HTC phone when it arrives.
Any link to the eBay auction?
The "clones" of these high end cellphones in China are pretty fake. They resemble the real ones, but one can easily tell the difference. They definitely don't run android, and run some variation of Linux that is skinned to look like iPhone/WinMo/Android.
Once you have it in hand, it would be very obvious to you whether it is fake, either from the hardware or from the software, so there is no need to use any software to check the hardware specification.
There is no Nexus One/Desire clones that runs real Android or equipped with Snapdragon. Again, if it is a fake, it will be VERY obvious.
Thanks for your reply.
Here is the link.
I will ask the seller to send me pics he took instead of the ones he copied.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260611334391&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
$170 US for a Desire!! from a zero feedback seller in China.....id never go near such.
I know.
I am betting on eBay and PayPal buyer protection to save me if needed.

Judging from the fact that the image is just ripped from some blog site and not even an HTC press release shot, combined with the sellers score: 0. So no sales or even any buys to the account...
I would be very surprised if this guy has even seen a Desire in person, forget you receiving one in the mail from this seller
Is it really worth the trouble?
I can tell you with no doubt, its a fake one! Because even in China, you won't get a real 2nd hand desire at that price.

This alone does not convince me.
When I sell items, I am lazy and rip images and descriptions from other listing.
However, add this to the fact that the seller has no scores...so maybe.

Are you serious when you said you bought it? HTC desire for 170 unlocked..really?
Where I live, I can barely get a dumbphone unlocked for that money.
Well, the picture was taken from some blog and the spec were copied from HTC website. That page alone can't tell whether the phone is real or not.
But as I said before, those Chinese clones of high end phones look really fake, and those Chinese sellers are not trying to scam people into believe that they are real. There is a market for cheap look-alike phones in China, and that market is what those "clones" are for.
People, the $170 final price is the result of an AUCTION, not a buy-it-now price. My bet is that this phone is real, but the fact that the seller is from China, together with the fact that he has 0 feedback, making no one wanted to bid on it. I highly doubt that he will ship you the phone, given how low the final price is. He will probably make up an excuse not to ship you the phone (out of stock, wrong listing, blah blah blah), and then refund you (I you had paid already). If he did ship you the phone, you win. If he shipped you a super fake clone, Paypal will get your money back. The only thing you will lose is time.
I took a chance on a simular "deal" for a HD2 and I was sent a small pink noname brand(actually works, my woman loves it) and a FAKE Iphone 3G. Get you paypal refund info ready.

I had the same thoughts.
I will see what I do.
I have not paid yet and can back out if I like by cancelling my transaction before payment.
I emailed the seller and asked for real pictures, why he is selling, what the serial number is, etc. I will see if he answers.
Unfortunately the seller's English is pretty bad so communicating is difficult.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
HTC doesn't sell cellphones in China offically
ebay buyer protection isn't worth ****. I got screwed when buying a PDA a couple years ago. ebay contacted me and told me not to send payment as his account was suspended. Unfortunately, I already had and received a box with a small rock in it which weighed what the PDA should.
I got about $200 back from ebay but I paid the guy $600.
USE YOUR CREDIT CARD AND YOU'LL BE FINE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.
Here are my golden rules for ebay, I hope this helps ....
NEVER buy a 'brand new' phone from ebay. You probably wont ever be able to return it, and might not have any kind of warranty.
Never buy anything from a seller with zero feedback. You simply cannot trust them if they do not have any reputation.
Never buy anything from China (unless you are sure about the seller).

Add to this list only buy form China if you think the money is worth the risk
But 170 bucks isnt worth it for me maby for you then take your chances
0 feedback seller from China...
I bought a while ago a Sony headset from China (was dead cheap so gave it a try), the seller had plenty of feedback and I eventually got the headphones. They looked so good, very real. But the sound... was worse than the cheapest pound store ones!! Funny thing is the seller disapperaed from Ebay straight after the paypal payment... no refund for the fakes. I def learned my lesson.
I have seen a lot of this fake seller in china, all of them have 0 feedback or some fake feedbacks. Usually the sell all phones they can in a short period of time, and after that you get nothing and they will delete their ebay account.
I hope this one is not like it
It's one of either two things.
You got scammed and will be sent nothing (Which is what i'm expecting)
Or
You're going to be sent a very very bad nexus one clone.
Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.
Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.
Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!

there is a guy on craigslist selling this phone new in box for 350. i might pick it up tuesday if i feel like it. who knows, maybe he purchased some from this company and is making a profit. as long as the esn is clear im happy.
I would like to share with the good members of XDA about an online parts seller that is fraudulent and deceptive. As the owner of a mobile phone repair business located in Oceania I used the services of a company called etradesupply, at first they seem legitimate and parts came as advertised as OEM.
Good people, professionals and enthusiasts, beware, this company is a fraud!
I hope to make aware some who may be victims these advertised OEM products are fake, 2nds or not new as described.

Do you have any proof to backup this statement?
I only provide a feedback about their practices, you take it as you like, but mark my words you may regret dealing with them as I have and thats all I am going to say on the matter.
Tks @homer285 for warning us. Put this name on my buyer warning list. However I'm not sure about this company is scam or not.......
Do you really need a shop to do the work? These phones are held together by glue lol. I replaced my screen on my Z1s in under 45 minutes. There is a video on youtube how to do it.
Anyone have any opinions on replacement of the aluminum chasis of the z1? Mine has a dent near the headphone jack, is it easy to replace or is it better to take it to a sony care center(i don't care much about the price, unless it's totally outrageous).
Fraud? I've made several orders from this company myself and always got the parts as described. So what exactly is fraudulent about this company?
