Seems they've had a bit of a change of heart over pricing too. SIM free price is £474, unless you're talking about the 12 month contract price + £18.99 on t-mobile, but that is £371.31 + you get 300mins and 200 txts thrown in for free.

they're still £373 + p&p if you buy it as pay as you go with vodafone. The first TD2's are shipping unlocked (or at least the ones to that supplier are) so you can just leave the voda sim out when it arrives if you're on another network. I think the 'sim free' option on the website is probably for when they start locking them to carriers.
The 12 month t-mobile contract is a good deal, except it means signing up to t-mobile!

ordered mine here:

Noob.
I don't get it. I've seen that T-Mobile won't be offering the TD2 until they repackage it as the MDA V which is to be released in June.
How come retailers can offer it on T-Mobile, Voda etc this early?

They just package the retail HTC item with a sim-only contract that they get commission on.

It is not unheard off to offer a unbranded HTC device with a contract...I know when I used to go for packages like that in the past with O2 and T-mobile, I used to specifically ask for a de-branded/original unit from Carphone warehouse or Phones4U...and both offered it - if not after a few huffs and puffs
As for settings, remember most HTC if not all now days come with the settings manager app so it picks up the simcard, and 95% of the time, will have the settings for you already pre-programmed so you just hit install

hmm
would the sim free version work for sprint?
my original touch battery just pooped out haha

I'm unsure why the price was put up as we always work to provide the best pricing at the current time.
We run systems to ensure we are competitive on pricing on all HTC products and are currently looking in to this blip. Any one who did purchase at the higher price has already been refunded the difference.
I'm also aware stock is now in a very limited supply with additional UK stock now over 4 weeks away.
Sorry for any confusion/issues caused.

All our orders processed before 4pm are sent out for next working day delivery.
We do get many reports that deliveries usually happen in the morning and in fact Diamond2's have already started to arrive this morning.
If you want to guarantee pre-noon delivery then this option is available at an additional cost.

I know . My info from http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258736&view=findpost&p=840054 it could be that their initial shipment doesn't cover all pre-orders, so ordering now would result in shipping in 4 days. Dunno!
Gordon
And I haven't heard a single apology. Wasn't it Crunchgear.com that first said the 3rd? I'm never going to that website again!
Another one that may do US shipping and have 700 in stock (according to website)http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-TYTN-II
The same Expansys link now shows an estimate of 1 day.
Just browse mobilefun uk and their tytn II cost £409 while expansys uk had it at £489. An £80 diffenerece is a lot. Does anybody here has an idea what's the difference between the two device? I'm really puzzled...
apology
sorry, just browse again and mobilefun price went up to £469 but i swear it was £409 yesterday
When there's no stock, it's always cheap. I'm picking my one up from Inkino tomorrow. They have a tracking number from distributor... It is in town!!!!!
Hmm. Expansys seems to have moved from 4 days to delivery to available to order. Don't know whether that means that there has been a delay.

subscribed to this thread, sweating in anticipation. I have a corporate person looking out for me, but i think she also is busy with real work
Well they have popped up on ebay already... Just saw 3 of them, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=htc+kaiser&category0=
the seller has no feedback, account is new, and he's listed them as bids. Already at some 700 USD with 6 days to go... Damn these people are stupid! Anyone remember the Moto RAZR? yea... 1600 USD on ebay! Some poor dumbasses paid that much... and I see this going just as high, if not higher.
This kaiser anticipation is quite entertaining.
yet its killing me!
clove.co.uk also has them in stock

Well guys, I called my local AT&T store yesterday and asked about the 8925. Sales rep told me (after a brief hold time) that it would be released Sept. 11. That's a pretty sensitive day in the US, but the release of this phone would definitely make a dark day brighter!
Of course, she qualified her response with the fact that these dates are subject to change. I was thinking to myself....ohhhhh really?!!

MobilePlanet customers

Did anyone receive their Kaiser from MobilePlanet yet?
If yes when did you guys pre-order?
Thanks
I pre-ordered mine on Aug/27 ... at that time ETA was sept/09
last few days, they have been pushing it back a week...
and as of today it has been pushed back further ( sept/20 !! )
I emailed them for answer and told them that i will cancel the order if they keep doing it again !! ( not good for one's heart ..LMAO !
BTW ... at the original time .. my order was quoted $799 USD + %7.5 tax + S&H (14.99 ) --->>> TTL= CDN $924 +
anyone know anything regarding the quoted price & the balloon prices ???
am I obligated to pay a higher price once stock is in ?? do I get the discount price if it happen to be lower then at the ordered time ??
I'd also emailed them about this already ... and I'm about that close to canceling !!!
there are stocks around ... but it's not right for expansys to keep playing with customers emotion like this ... you're so close to the date & then they just crush your bubbles .. not only one time, but again & again !
and why suh a price cut throat/difference when it is also from the same company but different region ??
Mexico is almost $100 USD higher ??

Dude I assume that you are in Canada as you converted your order to Canadian. I ordered one with SuperiorGadgets.com from here in Canada and it was only $911 inc Gst and shipping. He will ship by the 9th he says. If price goes down you will be credited if it goes up, they eat the difference. Click on the link at the top of the forum page.

Just called mobileplanet. They did get an order of 1000 in but they were for retailers and the old backorders. Mine was one day short so will ship next week . Not sure how you managed to snag one today. As far as paying full price there are several reasons.
1) I dont like locked phones.
2) I wanted the base OS not at&t
3) at&t's data plans are incredibly expensive and the difference in data plans would more than offset the 200 saving in less than a year and I would be bound to it for 2 years. Yes I know they have 3g but I dont use data on the go much and edge is fine for now and wifi is everywhere.

Already available in Singapore?

I'll be arriving to Singapore next Saturday (31st) and staying until the evening of the 6th... Will I be able to find the Diamond anywhere there? Any forum members based in Singapore could please advise (when, where etc.?) ...
Regards,
Gary.
So you're visiting singapore.. where are you actually from? It seems to be coming out in most markets around 6th june anyway. I guess you may save some tax if u just carry it in and keep quiet, but most likely that'll be canceled out by the over the odds price you may have to pay to get it right away.
Beloved S'pore isn't really a good place to buy phones - by far too expansive.
one of the cheapest places for htc devices is still Germany and other countries across Europe (additionally you will get 2 years warranty!)

Thanks, I may just miss it then (or, maybe I'll extend my stay in Singapore to cover Saturday the 7th also ),
Originally from the UK, I'm now based in Switzerland. I'm over there to do some training for a week,
It's not so much saving or not; to order locally is a pain when you don't want it preloaded in German or French. When ordering in English, it can take a while to arrive (as was the case with the TyTN II when I purchased it a few months ago) and it's no cheaper since you can't order an English (i.e. non-standard) phone with a contract.
Frankly, it's easier to walk into Sim Lim or where ever, just pick one up and avoid the troubles.

Any online vendor in Australia ? who ships to India?
Australia may have it already, but Hong Kong as had it for two weeks already.
One thing is for sure, HK is the cheapest. I just got mine for HKD 2680. That's AUD359, SGD 467.
This is not an insiders deal, I just walked in off the street. HK puts everyone to shame (in more ways than one).

389 including delivery, a hell of alot cheaper than expansys!
Remember it WILL be an import, and these guys probably won't handle shipping it to HK for you, like expansys say they will. (assuming HTC don't do worldwide waranty).
I just ordered one. These guys are pretty well known and have been around forever. Hopefully will be here tommorow
How annoying of TotalPDA! I've also chickened out and gone for the ebay route (hope it actually comes, I've had problems with ebay in the past S), even tho it's an import it's still the cheapest out there and you all know we'll end up with a custom rom anyway P
If it does come I'll let you all know.... this guy's gonna love us if he's genuine!

128MB is only on the pre-release versions. All diamonds brought legally, no matter where you get it, will have 192MB (bear in mind 64Mb is used for the OS). The main difference is which bands it will work on as the US have different operating bands for GSM and UMTS than Europe/Asia

As said above, only the pre release ones had 128mb. I think this 'rumour' about imports came from one or two posts (maybe the same guy) where the user was looking at the user ram total and available. This doesnt take into account the ram the ROM uses. If you search for the posts you'll see that a few posts later its clarified, but by then its too late - people are posting everywhere its 128mb already!

i'm confused. It seems you are receiving dispatched mails within a day or two of placing the order, with express shipping. I too chose express shipping when I ordered yesterday morning and I received this email from them this morning saying...
"Your item is due for dispatch.Sorry for keep you waiting,but as per our listing,for all the high value item,we need 5 working days to arrange delivery upon receive payment.You will get the tracking number after delivery,thanks!"
This suggests that they aren't going to dispatch it for another FOUR days despite having my money and me meeting all their criteria for express delivery. This is a little worrying. If they have stock why wait 5 days before sending it? I smell something fishy, do you think they are importing on order?
cojones said:

You might be right. I checked with the friends who said they have used these guys before...
They ship anytime between 0 and 5 days with the normal shipping, they say its an anti fraud measure - probably to make sure your not ordering to some empty house and breaking in on the next day to get it
Thats plausable, but i think its probably to get you to pay the extra 10 quid for express, or to allow them to get stock (import).
I didnt pick the express option thinking it would be 1 to 3 days max. Mine still hasnt shipped yet
I'm confident talking to my friends you'll get the phone - but i think your right, they are importing to order with a small buffer which has probably run out.
BTW has anyone received their phone from these guys yet? Can you check the rom version please?
Well i decided to buy one, just placed a pre-order with TotalPda as they seem to be the cheapest for uk spec models...£445 with del included. Told me that i should have the phone by the 24th of this month.
Not really sure if i will keep it but they did say i could return it if im not happy so ill have a play for a few days before making up my mind on whether to keep it or not.
I do hope that i fall in love with it or else ill be waiting for the Sony Xperia X1.

In the meantime ill wait for the Diamond and see how i get on with it...i have a feeling from what i have been reading here and other forums...that ill end up sending it back for a refund and wait for the X1. But im hoping the UK spec of the Diamond will be better than the grey imports that alot of people have...its been delayed due to HTC fixing some software issues or so i have heard.
Been monitoring and just (in the last hour) seen Play.com change their date from 13/06 to 27/06, so going to have to wait another two weeks for my order - damn.
Still £429 inc. VAT and delivery though

HTC diamond now in stock (UK)

Its in stock at CLOVE!
https://www.clove.co.uk/viewnews.as...9BA-4A40-AC7D-1767A77A2AB7&category=CATEGORY2
Anyone spot any other stores post here for our poor friends dying to order one too
PS. I placed an order, should get it via citylink tommorow. Its a little more expensive than some other sites, but cheaper than others. But its a great company to deal with.
UPDATE:
Clove (IN STOCK - ship 18th)
Powerup (IN STOCK - ship 18th)
devicewire (IN STOCK - ship 18th)
handtec (IN STOCK - ship 19th)
htcdirect.co.uk (IN STOCK - ship 19th)
TotalPDA (IN STOCK - ship 19th)
INKINO (19th)
Insight (20th)
supergps (19th)
mobilefun (19th)
Power up mobile also seem to be showing stock:

Their 'expected' date is gone. I'd call them first to confirm tho.
It really looks like 18th/19th IS the real release date

Point me to how to do it and i'll do it the moment i get it!
Just called TotalPDA and they have no change on the 23rd - I wonder if that will change in the next 24hrs? Would have liked to use Clove (used them before) but they would not price match the order I have from TotalPDA of £406.77

I suspect everyone will have stock by tommorow. The difference of 1 day is just going to be logistics and admin.
I think its unlikely anyone will price match, especially with it being such a hot item.
Nice! I've been checking this forum everyday waiting for this thread title. Now I just need orange to add it to their inventory. I'm so looking forward to developing on this device.
How are these other companies managing to sell it earlier than orange or tmobile. I would of thought Orange and Tmobile would be getting priority shippment. Also why is everyone here paying premium price for the device when it will be avialble free with a contract?

WM phones always come out sim free first. The networks always get them later.
There's a few reasons for this but the main two are 1) HTC etc want to sell it at a premium sim free for those whi will pay the price and 2) networks have their own customisations and tweaks, physical or software which take time.
Its unlikely you'll see the diamond free on many networks unless you are on a high price monthly contract. For most it will just be heavily subsidised.
Also alot of people are not able to sign a new contract as their old one hasnt expired yet.
You probabaly won't see it on Orange or T-Mobile untill the first week of july at the very earliest i would think.
The real question _was_ why were people paying a premium for imports when the UK one will be out soon - its because we're all stupid and want it now now now

I myself don't want to sign up to a lengthy contract, and hate how these companies brand the phones.
grrr...i wished it would already be available here in germany, too :-(

Btw you can still buy it on contract from people like mobilefun (probably from tommorow). But you'd need to sign up again, which would mean you have to port your number to another network to keep it. Orange is the worst network (except maybe Three) anyway!

It's the lame branding and customisation that turns me off.

You mean you don't like the pink T-Mobile theme? surely not
/sarcasm mode off
INKINO just phoned me to say that they're getting it tomorrow. Great timing in my opinion, because I've just finished my last A-Level exam.

Not quite everywhere - I think it's just places that were due to get a batch on the original release date. Some places are still giving later dates.

Is it in stock today? It sounds like most people are getting it tommorow, which means you'll get yours on friday.
Not a big difference, just clarification for anyone reading and wanting to order today.

They said on the phone yesterday they will have a lot in stock tomorrow (today), also today it changed to showing "buy now" not pre order. As far as I'm aware, my delivery will arrive tomorrow from powerupmob, waiting for the email.
