Mobilephonesdirect have the Desire for £348 on T-Mobile PAYG.
Quite interested in this as it seems to be the cheapest price for PAYG and seriously undercuts CPW.
Anybody used the company before? Trustworthy?
Sorry, can't post link as I am a new member.
Thanks in advance
So would there be any difference between getting it PAYG on T-Mobile through mobilephonesdirect, and buying it sim-free? Would it be locked to T-Mobile? I thought all phones bought through MPD were unlocked, unbranded?
Thats a good point. Mpd do generally sell unlocked unbranded handsets. Worth finding out.
Reply from MPD:
"If you wanted an unlocked, unbranded HTC Desire then you would have to chose the Sim Free version rather that the PAYG version."
So you can factor in another £15 to unlock it. Still a very good deal though.
carphonewarehouse
you might not get it for now but carphonewarehouse now has them in stock now to order online and you will get it next day and there phones are unlocked to any network and unbranded
Why is the PAYG Price and Sim-Free price different by about £100?
I thought all their phones are Unlocked....Including the desire..
(Unless you pay £100 for the t mob. branding l0l!)
hi guys, i wanna order htc desire online from clove.co.uk with international shipping to india. the site even says that it ships internationally to india with 2 modes of delivery.
1. international signed mail-£24
2.DHL international courier- £30
i am worried whether to order online to ship desire to india or should i give the US address while ordering & get it from any of my friends who will be visiting india in june.....
it didnt show any error while filling out the address & they do have india as destination in international countries list where they could be shipping the goods.. i am worried whether my parcel gets struck anywhere, i mean at the customs or while crossing international borders, will they search what is the content of the parcel or will i get this parcel from UK in good condition without any tax being imposed on it from the courier guys/customs....
i am worried about the availability of the parcel in india.... please throw some light on this issue... otherwise, pricewise i dont have any issue. its the best deal i could get online at present.....
please anyone reply to my all queries....

WOW !!! thats pretty straight forward.... they do have service in India. but what i wanna know is will there be any problem in recieving the parcel in good condition without paying an extra money otherthan online payment is what i am asking here....
if there is anyone who has recieved this in india without any problem, i want to know that.. thats all man...
how would clover know the difficulties once they ship out the parcel until we tell them... and moreover, they have specified it clearly in their website that local officials /rules cannot be ruled out in price variation... i thought they may ask more money to deliver the goods.... thats worrying me... thats all..
anyway thanks for other useful information....
they are the best along with handtec. and devicewire...

Hey OP, your concern is not with Clove. Your concern is about the customs and procedures of shipping to India.
Is Clove safe? Yes. But once your package is shipped, Clove can't guarantee you anything.
It would be wise for you to change the thread subject to "Any difficulties ordering device overseas and shipping to India?" You might get more useful replies that way.
one doubt i have, will the courier people allow custom officials to manipulate with the parcel ??? i mean if the parcel is well below 500gms, will they check it & put duties ???
because, i have imported few things weighing around 100gms from US, & it has not been verified by the customs... so i dont think parcels seal will be open by the officials.... they might have an agreement with the cargo people i guess....
is there anyone who has hands on experience with these things ????
I ordered one and it came in 2 days. I am in Cyprus BTW....
anyone who got this device from UK in India.... please share ur experiences....
i am really worried.... whether to book it or not.... please tell me is it going to be delivered to me without any customs difficulties ???
I buy a Desire from Clove,no problem .

hey buddy, i had the same question, i want to order an xperia z to mexico and in the faq from clove you can find a recommended import duty & taxes calculator, the page is called dutycalculator dot com and it's awesome, you just put where are you importing from and where into, the device/thing youre importing, its value, and it estimates the importing taxes that you have to pay for it. hope that works for you

Hey. Can you please share your experience about the shipping. Was there any problem?
I am planning to order a Sony Xperia XZ Premium from clove.co.uk and the checkout page shows the final amount as £566.83 (Including FEDEX INT COURIER)
Please could you confirm whether the above mentioned shall be the final amount payable. Or shall I be liable to pay any extra amount in terms of Import Duty or Tax.

Hello folks...
a friend of mine flying tomorrow to amsterdam for a week and i asked him to look for htc desire there...after a few googling i found that the most popular store in amsterdam that sells this device is Belcompany.nl...they have a lot of them in the city there...
as i understand from this page the device cost 479euro?
http://www.belcompany.nl/Winkelwagen/Pages/Winkelmandje.aspx?ticketid=001158
my question are to the locals or ppl who bought there are those:
1. this price is stand alone or i have to agree to some kind of a 3 year contract like iphones?
2. is it simfree?
3. is it branded? (have to buy some kind of a code to unlock it).
4. this store use global refund taxfree? (friend is a tourist).
question 4 is the most important to me..
thx ahead
On the link you give it's a free Desire included with a 2 year contract.
From Belcompany ( a sub contractor/seller) = mostly sim free & unbranded.
@ 4. tax refund is out of my knowledge, I'm local and my Desire is not for sale
For a price check on webshops try: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/253414/htc-desire-bruin.html
Problem is, availability is low to very low, if your friend has some time to spend, let him check out some bigger "real"shops
1. this price is stand alone or i have to agree to some kind of a 3 year contract like iphones?
It's standalone price
2. is it simfree?
Yes
3. is it branded? (have to buy some kind of a code to unlock it).
No
4. this store use global refund taxfree? (friend is a tourist).
Probably you can get refund
BUT: most important, I'm not sure if they have them in stock. It's very hard to get them anywhere in Holland. On a lot of forums you see people complaining about waiting for their desire for weeks...
Good luck!

479 euro is pretty much the going price for a desire in Europe, so this is going to be an unbranded, unlocked phone. Purchase tax, known as BV in Holland, is 19% of this price. Save your receipt and you can get it refunded at the airport on the way home.

Soo it's impossible to buy from them without this 2 year contract?
thing is my friend will stay only in amsterdam...i need stores at that area...the site you gave me if i'm not mistaken none of the store in amsterdam...correct me if im wrong.
if this is the case maybe someone know a specific store in amsterdam contract free?
I saw some in Duty Free in the Amsterdam airport 2 days ago when i flew through there. I bouth mine there in early April, and it was HTC branded and unlocked for 430 Euro.

It is possible to buy the phone without contract. My advise is to call them about their current stock.
Unbranded and sim free.

It depends where.
Its not rare finding dz for 50$can or us because most people get it at 0$ with a long term contract. they dont take the time to find the actual value. Most of the time , in canada, the price are around 100-150$
Even if you were the kind of person to pay someone to root your phone (why would you?) this is still a pretty bad deal. Too much money for a used phone. You can find G2 on eBay in the US for MUCH less. usually sub $200 and even lower if you look enough
This is a great deal:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-T-Mobil...1023339659?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item337604848b
I suggest you buy that one. It's in like new condition and it's much cheaper
Ask the seller if he will ship it to you in UK

But you know, that you will have to pay import duty and VAT in Germany, right?
As far as I know that's 13.5% (import duty) + 19% VAT. Including shipping it won't be much cheaper than buying it in Germany directly and buying it in Europe makes it much easier with the warranty as well.
EDIT:
btw, I wanted to check shipping fees to Germany and it didn't even work: "We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order."
Looks like you have to order from within the EU anyway. Maybe you can check different countries in the EU.
