I spoke to one of my customers yesterday who ended up being a "Master Distributor" for HTC. This may end up being a good connection or not at all, but Im working on it. Anyway I will keep everyone posted if it develops into a good source to buy one. Also I did a search on wholesale price of kaiser and came up with this website. Im sure its been discussed before but it this link below legit?

Just to clarify, this link does not represent my potential contact for htc devices. It was just something I found. Anyway I will be meeting with my customer and discuss him possibly supplying people here. Plus Ill see what kind of discounts there are.
It would be sweet if you could hook us up with his guy. Maybe he's able to get his hands on spare parts too.
We have been running WMSkins Gallery, with an aim to bring all the skins & themes for Windows mobiles to one central location. Now we are creating a platform based on WMSkins Gallery which will be a marketplace for all the skins & themes for Windows Mobiles & Android.
Designers over here go a great job & provide our devices a new look but they are not given full credit. We would like that designers get there share of advantage for their hard work. So, we will provide all the designers a medium where they can share their work either for free or paid.
We would like to know your thoughts about it?
We are also looking for name recommendations for the new gallery, So Please suggest.
UPDATE: Here's a preview, its just a design mockup. We are working on functionality.
Regards,
WMSkins Team.
Yes, That would be a great idea!
it is good to have something, however, lately I am making themes and wallpapers for S2U2 which I post here. I see them back on your site, no problem at all, but I think it is not more than polite to add the original author's name on it. I see now several themes, clocks and wallpapers which I photoshopped together ;-) and at some of them the poster (a guy from India) did not mentioned the author. And when you are really going to SELL my themes I want my share, all original PSD files are in my computer, I really do not want you to sell something and make profit using my work without notifying.
You took the themes and skins from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111&page=714
I made this because I think it is fun and to do something back for this great community, I did not expect to see them on other sites without referring to the author (the one with the green lamborghini on wmskins for example)
Cheers,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
We at our site respect the original authors & mention their name on the upload which you'll find under each image when you open it up, scroll down to the page for more information & you'll find authors name being mentioned there. What we mention below thumbnails are the uploaders name.
And on our new project we let original authors upload their work, set the price & get paid. We'll not be selling others work.
Hope you like the project,
WMSkins Team.
I would be great to have more of the themes in a centralized place, however charging for themes could be very difficult considering how many talented developers are just giving them away. Those who do make the themes deserve to get their do credit. I am in support of a "theme gallery", but not paying for something we are already getting for free or by donating.

Hi Irishpride,
Our current Gallery is short of many features. We are developing a whole new interface to it & added funtionality. We'll let designers choose whether they want to provide their work for free or for a charge. Therefore, there'll be both free & paid themes in the gallery. If a designer is paid for his work, he'll be more interested in providing more skins & themes, therefore user will get more & more awesome look on the device. Its good for both designers & users.

Well, good to hear that you respect that, I assume you and another one are having this site. So, take a look at this: http://www.wmskins.com/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=19&pos=1
My name is not there. Maybe it is an idea to let the people who post our work to force them to admit something in the field where to put the original authors name. That way, you don't have to check it, and you don't get any mail regarding to his from disappointed authors. (just an idea)
Further on I think to get a lot on one place is good, and as long as the free downloads are better than the ones you have to pay for, your visitors are happy too ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold

We are sorry that your name is not mentioned there, We may not have got it otherwise we would have added it there. Anyways we are working on the new interface which will improve it.
To be honest, I don't like the site as it is now.
You don't even provide a link to the original thread, which is really the least that is expected. But even then I don't think it's good to mirror the files without asking for permission, especially as you force users to register before they can download anything .

We do have input for Source URL when you upload the file. But we have not enabled it to show to the user as we are planning to develop new interface. You'll get this & much more features in the new version.

Dear Arnold,
We welcome you to upload your work to gallery, we'll be more than happy if you upload your work yourself. And when there's new version we'll be honoured to have you there too.
But it's not about anything you're planning in the future - it's about now. I think it's reasonable that I expect you to link to the sources and take the files down or make them available for all users.

Dear Livven,
We have started this thread to announce our new project, I know we have shortcomings in current version which we'll improve in the next version.
We are also looking for Name Recommendations for the new gallery. Please Suggest.
Preview of the Marketplace added in the first post.
My work is already uploaded to your site, but if you are going to use it for the Marketplace we will have to discuss it.
I don't think many people will pay for a skin.

Dear ElCondor,
You can upload you work yourself on the marketplace & set the price. When people buy the work you'll get the amount.

Currently there is no site like this for Windows Mobile & Android. Everyone knows that WM doen't come with a good looking interface, so we think people may be willing to shell a little extra to get a new look for the device. Moreover if the designers get benefit for their work they will providing more great looking themes.
Sure I would be more productive if I would get paid.
I am 16 years old so I have not much money; getting paid for it would be great.
Just tell me when you've finished it!
Well, as long as you don't upload the work of others and then make people pay for it, I'm fine. Also, I don't see you're actively "improving the shortcomings in the current version"...
Hi,
I'm the developer for BBC News Mobile the free app on the marketplace at the moment. see http://grippers.co.uk
I've been working on push notifications for breaking news and have put together the various servers and system and its nearly ready to go live to the marketplace. However, I'd really like to test it out on a smaller scale first.
Please get in touch if you would be willing to test out the app first.
//Now Closed got enough offers to run with. Thanks to all those who got in touch
//Either reply here or email info[at]grippers.co.uk
Thanks in advance,
Update 30.01
Had really great feedback from the testers I currently have on board and have a boat load of emails for others willing to test. So thanks to everyone who got in touch should get back to you with a new build soon.
Lawrence
Hi mate, i would test this out for you.
I have a htc trophy n the UK.
Excellent!
Drop me an email and will sort out a xap file to send over to you.
Anyone else interested?
Count me in man - be good to get some decent news here in germany
See PM for my e-mail address.
count me in
Excellent, Thanks all for replies have send pms to everyone.
Any more interested?
Hi already use your app so would love to try the new version
Also use your current one, would be up for the beta as well.
Cheers
I'd love to beta-test as well. HTC HD7 in the US
i would like to test either from Portugal... thks
I would like to test belgium
Unlocked device?
Hi
I currently use BBC News Mobile on my HTC 7 Mozart. I've even got it pinned to the start screen.
My device is not developer unlocked so I am not sure I can load the beta version onto it, but if there is a way, please let me know and I am happy to beta test it.
The two features I would like to see are live tile updates, i.e. with the number of new stories. Also, toast notifications for breaking news alerts would be good. I get the BBC News Breaking News alert emails but there are no toast notifications for emails, yet!
Cheers

Thanks for all the offers. Moving all the stuff over to Azure from my dev environment is taking a bit longer than I thought but will be getting in touch soon.
Hey man, I'd happily beta test too.
Dev unlocked Omnia7 in UK.
count me in - dev unlocked hd7 from austria
i'm in too
Developer unlocked in Holland
I'll test it as well. Developer unlocked USA. Just a side-note be careful when you publish your app you need to go strong the 7appslab guy post's under a few screen names on competing apps he did it to my CNN app. Let us know here when it is done and we can give you an honest review before he swoops in and trys to knock you down.
Amazing thank you all for the offers to help!
Just a quick note to be able to run the beta build you will need to have an unlocked phone and use toms xap installer.
I should have got in touch with all, if I haven't please get in touch.
The build is just about ready to go. I'm just waiting on the Azure instance to finish deploying and then it's all ready to go. So hopefully will be sending out the build some time tomorrow to the people I have heard from.
If you still need someone, I'd be interested.
I have numerous unlocked phones (HD7, Quantum, Focus, Mozart...)
Once again thanks for all the offers.
I've currently running a very limited beta with 2 people (big thanks to calum and and Neil) if that all goes well I will get in touch with more people to expand.
Fingers crossed it goes well!

Look on Facerepo dot com. There's a 'Rulex' one that is similar but with different hands.
I tried finding the original link I downloaded from, but failed. SO, I hope it's OK to share my copy

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByHjosIvDhY2TVZwQ01lVnAtbkk/view?usp=sharing
Has a second hand, unlike your pic, but otherwise identical
Try this very good site, its like Facepro, but it has many more Rolex & other watchfaces.
Make first an account, then you get more search options!
This is the site
watchface.to
Good luck, hope you find him
I'm seeing faces on watchface.to that I made, under an account with my name, but said account is not tied to my e-mail address. Odd
I'm Super New to this whole *hands on* stuff goes. I mean , I've got the Tekno down pretty well, ....it's the getting into working with and getting all personal with my gadgets that I'm new too!! I tried a couple apk mods and found myself surprisingly pleased with myself. So with that said, you pretty much get the gist of things as far as where I'm sitting. But I'm all about learning new stuff, and from what I'm told....this is THE place to find all kinds of Stuff. I'm not completely sure where to go or what to do from here....but I've just got a brand new replacement s20 ultra, and I'm about to start setting it up. I would love any tips or cool tricks that anybody might wanna share. He'll, I'd be happy with a smile or somebody just saying hi! . Thanks for the Awsome welcome.... I look forward to seeing what comes next!
