I am a HD2 user, but also want to get a TG01.
Anyone know where I can get one in Netherlands?
Or a SIM-Unlocked/unbranded one from the web?

On ebay or no idea. But I think on ebay you can buy everithing.
hello
if you buy from ebay, you can flash thanks to a custuum sddownloader, the rom in any langague. however beware this hack do not work with tg01 from japan.
also, you can unlock this phone via some specialsed website. the cost is about 10 euros. i did it with my orange tg01 from france and it works, even if i flashed many roms after.
Never bought anything from ebay.
Is it Trust??
ya its perfectly fine , i got meself over $1000 worth of stuff total (incl tg01)

My cell phone is dopod 830,also called Prophet,it used for more than three years.Now is Chinese Spring Festival,and I can be given sums of money from the adult.I wanna to buy htc Diamond 2 before,but since I have tried to play htc G2,I had been attracted,althought I haven't used Android System before.
To be honest,WM System is more attraction to me.Lately I found Toshiba TG01 is become cheaper than before,and the price in oversea buy is better than in China.So I wanna to buy it oversea,but I haven't decide where to buy is the best choice.I have friends in Toronto,San Francisco and Australia,and some of them will come back China lately.I want to know where to buy is more suitable?It's better to buy an unlocked phone.And can you show me the price you know?
Thx of all.
In UK you can pick 1 up for £150 and £10 you can unlock it on the web. Don`t know what the other countries are charging tho. May be Ebay you can get it cheaper. Good luck.
eaby cannot use in China...althought i have an international credit card,but is in US pay not UK...
can i unlock the machine myself?
£150 is very good price!I wanna to buy in Hong Kong,but need nearly £250, a bit expensive...

Still not unlocking method. Think before buying. If it's me I go buy a Iphone 3G. I did the mistake buy one. For Iphon you have a lot of help and program. TG01 have = 0. It's true have a big skreen and is fast but still hard locked.
Think before buying.
Maybe iPhone 3GS is better.I agree that iPhone is a good machine,but in China,we cannot use wifi everywhere as western countries.What is the worse,that Youtube cannot be connected.If I live in Hong Kong,iPhone is my choise,without thinking.
But you said that TG01 is = 0,I think it's too exaggerate.Although its now popular as htc,but it still a wm phone,isn't it?

Is it still capable of the high speed internet stuff etc. though, because I heard about some problems that can sometimes occur with the Rebel Sim II's and others...maybe i'm mistaken!!

Proobably can't do GPRS, and instead of the 3G icon you get HSDPA instead, and a roaming icon
Cheap price seems always far from me...what bad luck!
Well..i got mine in Italy over the net and got it mailed to me in Malaysia where I work just over a month ago for EUROS 280:-...compared to when it was first launched in 2009 and it was going for EURO 560:- or something in that neighbourhood of prices
The additional good news is that from the moment I got it and turned it on until now:
1. It has never hung
2. The audio in-call quality has always been great.
3. It is damn fast and showed little or no lag.
4. Battery is good enough unless you are using wifi and playing around with it 24/7
5. Ringer is a little on the quiet side (reminds me of the Motorola 'Ming' I bought 4 years ago) BUT it is not at all as bad as many have described.
Guess maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones but then again I guess I did something with my TG01..basically I did NOTHING never tried changing flashing ROMS, installing Manila, Jakarta etc or whatever else was never intended to be on it in the first place.
Now might the time in the UK to buy one...
I keep being tempted by this phone, just because of the size of the screen alone. Also, in the Orange shops here in the UK, the unit price has gone down to £129, but I don't know what the obligatory top up would be. If anyone has one here in the UK, what is the multimedia on it like? Are you able to download BBC iPlayer programmes to watch on it when commuting etc.? I'd be grateful for any input

Yes, if you use a program like Iplayer downloader or similar you can download videos from iplayer (and automatically remove DRM) and then play them on the phone, I watch videos almost every day as I commute; the good thing is that the core player that comes with the phone has got hardware acceleration so the videos are played smoothly and it play xvdi/divx files (if you know where to get them from )
Cheers
Hi I think if you have a problems with budget, than TG01 will be sold in Eastern Eur with 40% discount. If the point isn't in money, than wait for a TG02, its a real HD2 and iPhone killer
I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....
Best regards

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.
Hello,
I would like to ask, if anyone happens to know where I can find an Sgs3 international unlocked around in Milan - Brescia in Italy at around 600eu. I prefer from a retailer as I wont stay here more than a month, plus I do not trust the Italian Post Office.
Thanks a lot

Hello there, I live in Norway but have som family overseas and I desperately need a new phone.
Is it possible for me to buy it in USA for a cheap price and use it back here in Norway?
Do I need to unlock it? I know there are a few on ebay unlocked etc. but they are all on bid, so I dont know if thats time enough.
I see AT&T have them listed at 150USD but I guess you have to bind to a subscription too?
Anyway I hope to get som fast helpful replies
Hey guys!
Massively interested in this phone. My HTC U11 broke just recently. The back and front smashed and my insurance company said they couldn't fix it so sent me the cash. That's when I did some research and heard about the Pocophone F1 which looks amazing! The only thing is it isn't easy not having a phone when I need to work....
Is there any chance a release date for Europe or the UK in particular will be announced soon? Any rumours flying about? I'm really trying hard to hold out for this phone!
Available in the UK from Appliances Direct.

I'm talking official release but thanks.
It is the Global Version with a UK charger!
It is here also released in the Netherlands, only webshops.
U get Dutch warranty, so I think when u buy it from a UK store u get UK warranty.
Since there are no Mi stores

Thanks for the info BassBounce. That's good to know. The only issue I have with buying from one of these sites is whether they are putting a mark up on the price of the phone? I wonder if when it is officially released will it be cheaper than on these sites? Also, I can't seem to find the Armoured version of the Poco F1 anywhere to buy in the UK. I'd really like the Armoured version since I seem to be pretty unlucky when it comes to braking phones....

That's good to know thank you. It may be a good option although I'd rather buy the Armoured edition which they don't stock.

Its a UK seller so yeah ur getting a warranty here, ur covered by the seller for 12 months, and even if u get the phone from like Netherlands u still covered by EU warranty, keep in mind the phone is only like 250 quid.. its not a 1000 quid phone, or trying lookin at alternatives like second hand pixel 2 xl for around 300-350
Apparently the one from Appliances Direct doesn't have a charger with it at all!
