I just ordered mine, since I work in China I will see it in two or three days, let you know what it feels like.
We are waiting.
How much did you get it for?
Waiting for mine to come also. Expecting to have it in my hands by the end of the week.

First of all I would like to say wow! What an amazing forum. Best I've seen on anything relating to Winmo.
After seeing so much advancement at Opal development (including the recent rom for 6.5), I began thinking of getting one myself. The cheapest one I found was
$191 at gadget circle
then
$219 at TimTechs
and
$226 at Plemix
Are these deal too good to be true? Anyone have any past experience with these dealers?
Thanks!
Here in Italy I buyed it for € 250,00 about two months ago
man i wish i would have seen this sooner. i just ordered mine, 236 shipped.
oh well, just my luck. but it will be here soon so oh well.
plemix takes 10 dollars off of orders if you use the youtube10 redemtion code.
ive never really looked, or heard of gadget circle (guess i should book mark it). i have heard of timtechs
shipping prices at gadget circle dont seem right, less than 6 dollars? i dont know about that
I ordered my phone from Timtechs. It came to $250 with shipping. I ordered it very early Tuesday morning like 1 am. I got it today at 10am it was the fastest shipping ever. The phone came just as expected the box was a lil' beat up but i think that is fedex and they gave me the CDs and manuals for the touch 3G but that fine really didn't need them anyway. What they don't tell you is that it ships from Hong Kong. I wasn't till i got the fedex tracking did i see where it came from. On their site it said it was based in DE but i got my phone all the same so I don't care. Overall I have been very happy with my experience with them, and I probably would/going to order from them again. And they even gave me a niffy Timtechs sack YAY!
PS I think gadgetcircle and timtechs are the same company. their website look very similar and customer service description are the exact same. and to get a phone shipped to the US I had to order more than $400 on gadgetciricle
Sorry about that skaroger. And thanks for the tip
Good to hear that ginronin. Thanks for the input as well.
its all good man, set to be here tomorrow. and i ordered thursday.
191 is a hell of a price, especially if its true. i wouldnt pass up on that if you were thinking of purchasing one.
i already got a bunch of software ready to install when i get my phone
Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I ordered an Nexus One engraved today morning at around 1am. I wake and I find out that it has been shipped and will arrive tomorrow. Is engraving really that fast (They do mention that it will ship within 72 hours)?

It should take 1-2 days longer. I would call google.
1) No, it does NOT take 1-2 days longer. They still ship out the same day almost all the time
2) It's because it's not engraved on the back. It's "silk-screened" on (printed on, not engraved in)
I ordered mine on Thursday and got it Monday with the engraving.
Bad news though...even if you have a defective phone and need to return it, its an additional $45 According to HTC anyway. I wanted to send mine back for a replacement (3g issues, of course) but decided it wasnt worth $45 plus shipping plus loosing my customizing over the chance that another would be better. Its really a no-win situation they put you in.
Thanks for the information.
gospeed.racer: I did not know that HTC would charge you a fee to fix/replace a defective phone if it's engraved. That really sucks because the warranty should cover it regardless of it being engraved. I just hope mine does not have any issues.
I am sure if you fought hard enough they would help you, but I was pretty pissed when I was talking to them and they were standing firm. I can understand that the replacement would not be engraved, but the phone was (at that time) less than 24 hours old and had (has) issues. I was very close to calling mastercard and inquiring about a chargeback.
Well... I received mine yesterday and it was engraved. That was quick.
As far as I can see I have not come across any issues. Still messing around with it.
hmm, i dont think that information is correct. i had mine engraved and had it replaced because of dust issues under 14 days and was not charged anything however i was sent a brand new unit and lost my engraving. not to mention. the new unit has the same issue of dust but i can live with it. i miss my engraving though
Same case here......
I ordered my phone ytd nite but when I woke up,I received the "order shipped" email!!
Are they that "efficient"???
I ordered mine engraved but got it normal

As already stated in this thread, yes, that is normal.
This has been posted like 3 different times before. This is normal. I had to return my old T-Mobile nexus one and I didn't get the engraving back, but I personally didn't like it. Now I have an att nexus one and its literally perfect.
I bought a nexus one today from someone locally, and at first I didn't noticed any dust under the screen, but when i got it back to work and looked at it more, i noticed a little bit. The N1 person told me that they wouldn't be able to send me a new one because it had the engraving of the other person that had bought it. So this thread gives me hope that they might just send me a new one!! I really hope they do, haha The screen has a few more dings in it than i noticed when first looking at it. I got it for 400 bucks, tho, so hopefully that was a good deal.
Has anyone else heard about or seen this new bluetooth gamepad that was just recently released, the iControlPad? It looks pretty cool... I'm sure it could be easily adjust to fit our HD2's into it. Not sure about compatibility, but I just ordered one to use when playing my PSX and SNES emulators on my HD2. I'll keep you posted on how it works when I get it. I guess you can even charge your phone off the battery in the control pad while you're using it... it's got a battery as big as the HD2.

Does it work well?
oh this would be so bad ass to work with a snes emulator.
Unfortunately, I had placed my order right after they sold out of the 1st batch of 1000, and they had to wait until the 2nd batch of 1000 was produced (which took a few weeks because they made some fixes on 2nd batch), so I'm still waiting for my order to get here. Also I didn't pay extra for fast shipping, so I have regular slow international shipping. It was shipped about 2 weeks ago, so I should be getting my gamepads any day now.
Also, just so you know, they are all caught up on their shipping, so they say any new orders place will get shipped within a couple days, but if you're in the US and you don't pay the extra $25 for faster shipping, it'll take 2-3 weeks to get delivered.
But, I did have them add a 2nd gamepad to my order and it didn't cost anything extra for shipping, so once I get my order in, I'll have an extra gamepad for sale, which I can sell it to someone in the US for a few dollars less than what it would cost to order one directly from company with cheapest shipping, and I can do priority and you'd get it in a few days.
I started a thread about this gamepad here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983160
Once I get my order delivered, I'm going to post pictures of unboxing and do a review of it using it with my HD2... so keep an eye on that thread. It should be coming soon. I'm excited.
And if you're in the US and interested in buying the 2nd gamepad off me, let me know. It would cost someone from the US $100 to order it from the manufacturer with cheapest shipping and it would take 2 or 3 weeks to deliver.... but I will sell my spare gamepad for $95 shipped, and you'll get it in a few days.
Finally got my iControlPads yesterday!!! Very nice feeling... feels solid and well built. The analog controls are awesome... I love the way they did those. I'm going to update firmware and do full review with pictures using it with my HD2... hopefully do it over weekend and post review sun or mon. I'll post here with link to the thread in the General Accessories section where I'm gonna post the review.
It was well work the money and wait for this gamepad.
Got my Vivid yesterday and voted for the new forum before bed last night. XDA never disappoints!
So far, I've been very happy with look, feel, and performance, but I did catch a random reboot this morning. Not sure what happened there.
Anyone else surprised at the lack of cases on Amazon? Even Otterbox.com said 'coming soon' when they had their case in the AT&T store when I picked it up. I just didn't want to pay 45 for a case. Got a couple of cheapies for the wife and myself until I see what else is going to be available.
How's everyone else liking the Vivid? Any oddities or complaints?
Theres an awesome htc case up here in Canada you can order from bell. even has a built in kickstand, i should have mine this week.

Nice, that was pretty fast to get our own forum! Can't wait till my Vivid comes in the mail tomorrow or Wednesday!
So far I have had the phone since 1 or 2pm yesterday and Not one issue yet. Picked it up at Best Buy for $99.99. AT&T is selling them for that price in my area so Best Buy had to price match. Came from an Atrix 2 and truthfully this one is winning considering I had to return 3 Atrix 2's because of hardware issues. Regardless though I love that this phone already had some cases available on the day of purchase as opposed to how motorola did it. I will say this phone is quite smooth and I am guessing once custom Roms and OC comes around this phone will be a rocket. Especially when CM7 hits although I tend to like Sense even though I tend to switch roms quite a bit.
... ... ...
Anybody use it with the z2? Heard it not great with z1, but wonder if updates and an updated phone help.
Just bought it last night at Best Buy. Funny story.. I went to look for it because my wife and I are going on vacation next week. Normal price was for $299. This Best Buy I was at happened to have one left in stock. When I called the employee over to take it out of the glass cabinet, I saw it on sale for $229. I asked him, is this for real!? He looks at it, takes it to his supervisor, and they sell it to me for $229. Come to find out that was the Black Friday sale price, and no employee ever bothered to take it down. How hilarious that it had been there for over a month and I happened to be the lucky soul that got it at that price.
Anyway, I'll happily report my findings here when I get to it!
I think you are mistaken. In available stores it has been $225 for a while now.
(I cant post links as I am new member but look up bestbuy website)
I bought mine before Christmas along with 2 other mods and got an additional 25% off. I think that offer too is still available now.
I have it now. The zoom does work well. The flash really helps in low light.
Some times a pain to use it again after going to another app or review pictures as it closes.
Got it new off eBay for 200. Still to much if you ask me.
I have it. It's decent and zoom works great for kids sporting events... Processing and quality still isn't as good as Samsung or pixel or iPhone...
