Hi guys,
Found the first site offering a pre-order of the Evo 3d in UK and it comes with a price tag or £499 +£6.50 for p&p sim free.....
http://www.theorder.co.uk/basket/index.php?action=add_item&id=2017&qty=1
Phones4u and Carphone Warehouse have no idea this phone is even coming out and tried to tell me it will be out at the end of the year so im better off with a sensation...... some one gets commision on the sensation lol!!
Am I missing something? Isn't the EVO 3D a model specific to Sprint in the US only?
Your missing something because they made a Vodafone version. I probably butchered that name, too lazy to look it up and its something I remember reading earlier so don't take my word for it exactly, but just go to HTC's sight as they have both versions there. You may have a harder time finding it now but it used to be available really easy.
Any idea when the vodafone version will be out in UK?

Yeah but I'm pretty sure the EVO name is a Sprint thing. Like there wasn't a European EVO but they had the Desire HD.

The Evo is listed here for presale at $475.99 which I find shockingly cheap especially when one considers that the sensation which seems technologically inferior, by far, is listed for over $270.00 more.

Hmmmm do the releases of either of these phones make any of you want to jump ship LESS? I know I personally am planning to switch to sprint to escape the ATT and Tmobile Merger. BUT I might be persuaded to stay if I can get the Evo 3d for this cheap and stay on Tmobile, and my wireless plan gets grandfathered in. Hmmmm....
its a great price for a great phone
I'm pretty happy with my Inc2 and Verizon for the moment, but I'm such a sucker for 3D that I'm so tempted...
I think it's fake... And if you look at the picture, it's Sprint EVO 3D.

Aaaaannnd if you switch to Sprint its 199 LOL.

its the classic bait and switch program. There are websites all over like this usually selling photo gear phones and computers. there are often more than one site running off one phone number so when you call they dont say the comoany name. although it is a legit company, they sell "grey market" and refurbished items and once they get your order for the item they promptly call and a very fast talking sketchey sales assoc informs you that the item you purchased is the "Chinese model" and not in english with no warrenty, BUT for $299 more I can sell you the US version with a 4 year warrenty worth $200 (that they wont honor later) and ill even throw in a carry case and 2 extra batteries (worth 2 cents) and you think to yourself, aw they already have my info and its still below retail (or is it) so you say...why not. after you realize you payed $75 over retail (that salespersons commission) . that wont work on most of us quick thinking people, but throw in a old lady buying her son that new gadget and we have a mess.
sorry for the rant.
they almost always have a US phone number and
I always stick with the reputable companies. a quick google of "cell hut scam" produces story after story of scammidge.
The list of GSM carriers overseas was released and not one is compatible in the states. You really think Sprint would allow that? FAKE!
Well Idk I'm wondering the same thing, handtec is a pretty reliable website and they also have the gsm version of the evo 3D, they haven't listed a price yet but if you look at the frequencies it seems like they would play well with Tmobile ones. I really want this phone but I don't want to switch carriers specially with how slow sprint's network is in my area!
here's the link http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/4800/htc-evo-3d--sim-free-unlocked-black-
While I acknowledge that this could be too good to be true. We do know that there is a GSM version of the EVO 3d. I find it feasible that a company could know that it will acquire the EVO 3d in bulk and have an idea of how it will be priced and not necessarily have a picture of the finalized product. That said I haven't gone and forked over my money for the 'pre-order." I can't decide between trying to get a GSM EVO 3d/switching to Sprint/ picking up an HTC sensation.
I don't want to be an ATT customer so Sprint might be the only viable option for me. Sad state of affairs.
Evo 3D GSM is out?
If not (and im almost sure its not...) how people has it?
and if t is out, where can i buy it at the chepist price at the US? (GSM!)
THANKS!!!

It's out in some markets. I picked mine up through Rogers here in Canada yesterday (apparently it went on sale here on Friday).
I don't think any GSM carriers in the US have officially announced plans to pick up the EVO 3D GSM yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if AT&T does at some point.

Yes it did.
I should mention that mine was the first the store staff had seen out of the box, and it was one of the few stores here in Ottawa with stock (and they only had 5). So initial roll-out may be a bit slow.
yep i got mine on 4th of august in the mail
but mine is from where i live Holland
got 2 days before official launch XD
It's for sale in Denmark as well.
Got a mail from the HTC Club saying it was for sale soon. Clicked the link to one of the stores mentioned (Elgiganten) and lo and behold +100 in stock.
Called the girlfriend and 1 hour later we got some nice upgrades from the Desire.
Nice!
I so whant this device... But i don't have money. I'm asking for a friend
I'm considering getting the flyer for xmas.
I noticed at bestbuys website it says "no shipping" and when I check to see if they have it in stock locally it doesn't show up.
I am not hard set on getting it yet, because I'm really wondering if I just want a new toy and it will sit collecting dust after a few weeks of usage..
Or I will seriously use it for ereading/manga purposes.
I'm sure HTC is not manufacturing any more, but that's normal for companies to make a big production run and then move on to the next new device. So whatever stock was out there , when its gone , its gone. Looks like BB is out, so I only see them on other sites now. I guess some of the carriers like Tmob and Sprint still have the 3g/4g versions in stock.
it does sort of suck they haven't officially announced that they are no longer manufacturing it.
Oh well..
Most, or perhaps all manufacturer don't keep assembly lines open just to pump out a few more units. They make a big run, take a look at initial sales and either make one more run or switch over to new hardware. They don't need to announce it, that's just the only way to keep prices competitive. And the hardware guys don't make money selling old products at a reduced price. 6 months is old news in hardware
true.. I may see if I can use the "ship to store option" and see if they can get one..
If not.. oh wells.
Have you considered getting the EVO View 4G? They have brand new ones for $299 (was $275 over Thanksgiving week) which includes shipping and no tax outside of FL.
http://reaganwireless.com/htc-evo-view-tablet.php
FYI, I'm not associated with this company and it was posted previously by others. IMO it's a great deal.
Best buys have recently told me that they may be ordering more. There's still hope for late-comers like me.
I'm sure HTC or some wholesalers has a pile of them somewhere in a warehouse. Like the few hundred tech4less dumped over the weekend at $199.
Well I really wish they would just mark it as "sold out" and take away the add to cart option so we would know.
Small update, I emailed HTC and they said they have no knowledge of the flyer being discontinued.. so something is fishy on the bestbuy side..
I ordered the HTC EVO View 4G from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150705761318#ht_840wt_1396, $314.00 and free shipping, though I noticed today there's another for $309.00, also with free shipping, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...US_Tablets&hash=item2a1583150e#ht_4654wt_1163
It's cheaper than Regan Wireless' $329.00 price right now. He seems to have a pretty good amount. I also plunked down for the SquareTrade warranty.
That's a stock answer form HTC on almost every question. You can just about be guaranteed that HTC has not been manufacturing any Flyers since May 2011. THat would be standard procedure. Whatever their production number was, that's what supply exist. They did make another run of the View / 4g for Sprint.
You really don't think that Best Buy can say to HTC , hey we need another 2000 Flyers and HTC is going to go "snap" sure we will spend another $500k setting the assembly line back up just for your tiny order".
Guess i got mine just in time I thought it was something to do with floods in Thailand
Or maybe they're just backordered. This has happened a couple times in the last few months and somehow they always seem to reappear. If you can get it shipped to the store in 3-5 days from BestBuy that means it's still available.

The production line hasn't manufactured Flyers in a while.
It's obvious HTC is not very enthusiastic about the tablet market. Afterall, the profit margin on smartphone is much higher than the cut-throat tablet markets.
I've already ordered
Some of you may want to check the best buy website this morning...

For better. I love my flyer.
Hopefully this thing will see ICS.
Even if I have to code it myself :0
And after playing with it in store.. I gotta admit.. this tablet is sleek and sexy.
Only thing I'd consider over it is nook tab... but, even then I feel really confident about this device.

You slow, you blow. I was all set to spend $299 at Best Buy but their people are incompetent. I got a new flyer for $174 from Tech For Less.
I tried searching online for sales numbers but couldnt find any. Was it successful or what?

Only thing I've seen unofficially is people here saying that their local store was sold out.

I'm not sure what that means in that the store in my area told me they were sold out, but then again they mentioned that they only started out with 6 units.

Most new phones sold out in first week in stores. That doesn't mean anything because typically each store only get a very limited number of handsets on release day.
i predict it will do OK
i mean i think its the best phone out, but of course a 5.3" screen is still far away from the norm right now,so wont be a super hit
at&t's main warehouse is out and they have to ship mine from a different warehouse
I recall reading when Samsung launched the International GNote that they said they did not intend to bring this to the North American market. I guess they saw how popular it was and maybe the number being imported...at least AT&T noticed and jumped on it. They brought it to the US pretty quickly after the International launch (Nov 2011)
That does not really answer the questions but the reviews from the people that have it are very positive. I think it will a big hit! (coming from a man who has two!) lol! Relatively speaking! Feel sorry for my skyrocket but since I have the LTE GNote, no room for 800 x 480 resolution...My International GNote just got it's 4th update and is still rocking!
Hey, kinda stumbled upon this while looking at the new fake Iphone 5 and was wondering if anyone else has come across this site and if they work in the states on Verizon wireless? i saw in a few comments that they do work but wasnt sure if it was serious since they are just trying to sell fake phones!
I thought it looked pretty odd, just a bunch of knock off devices but something to look at!

Appears they they only have 3G on their phones too! hahah

No, none of them would run on verizon. Like you said, no one in the US really buys them, and the US is really the only place that uses CDMA networks (I think Korea does too in some parts) so all the phones are GSM
well heres a comment about someone asking if VZW works:

Do this phone works or any of your phones work with Verizon wireless??

Do you guarantee this to work on u.s. verizon wireless?

Im not siding with these guys for a second but i think its funny they are just about guaranteeing they will work on VZW

these are some pretty good knock-offs though... check out their youtube channel...
thats where i found the link, in the New iPhone 5 knock off video... looks exactly like the iphone 5 and even has an apple logo come up on boot.. quad core too. Looks identical to iOS but really just an android set up themed. they definitely put some work into them for a Chinese company
Wow, one can buy a dual-simm non-android dumb phone - quad band GSM for $30 plus $10 shipping.
I also looked at Aliexpress who has them for under $30 with free shipping from China.
If it works, then this iphone look-a-like can be a very low cost emergency phone on a pay per minute T-Mobile USA plan. Being quad-band it should work in every country of the world. Of course, no data, just voice and sms/mms.
I looked at this and thought for a for a cheap phone for someone (who doesn't own a Global Mode phone) who traveled internationally... buy a prepaid local SIM card and away you go.
Or, some of these phone might make decent media players or micro-tablets... just disable the mobile radios and away you go.
But, yeah, not gonna work on Verizon... I wouldn't be surprised if they do sell a few to the US though, people who are not so tech savvy would just believe it, drop their CC number down, and then they get a phone that doesn't work for what they wanted, what are they going to do? Think that company is going to refund their money for a device that is not actually defective?
Although they have no warranty policy listed on their site, the "Buyer Protection" stuff they have listed in FAQ section does say it does not cover buyers remorse BUT it does cover the device for 45 DAYS from the date of payment, provided you buy it through their website! lol
Haha. That's awesome... gotta appreciate their entrepreneurial spirit! I'm sure they are full of junk components, but I guess if they work for a year or so, they can give you a good "look."
