Dont bother my friend! These products are sold by the official O2 network in countries that they have chosen Greece and Cyprus are not included.
Try other sites and you will get some relative info. www.myphone.gr is one of them.
In there you will find localization ways and which Keyboard products na support Greek with the ability to send 160 chars SMS.
It will be more difficult to get a solustion for full localization of the ROM.
Good Luck!!
if i was to buy Hero in The Netherlands, for example, and it was in Dutch....how easy/difficult/impossible would it be to switch to English? or is buying English the only option for me?
It should be fairly easy to change the language on the Hero. During the first boot it will ask you to select your language. I can't assure you that the Dutch version of the phone can be setup in English. In this link you can see a video where a Dutch version of the phone allows you to select amongst Italian, Dutch and Spanish:

I can tell you also that I tried with the dutch version of the Magic and was really simple to change from Dutch to English... So, I would assume it shouldn't be a problem. I'll go shoping for a Hero in The Netherlands this evening, when I get mine I'll come back with a definite answer.
shopping for it where and at what price?
I was going to go for this offer:

I come back dissapointed. They don't have it yet. Apparently HTC didn't supplied to them on time and they don't know when it will be available in the Netherlands. I'll get a call from the shop when they know more.
Hi,
I'm really keen on getting a Flyer for various reasons. I've got an opportunity to potentially source one via our Hong Kong office.
Can anyone advise whether there are any differences between the Hong Kong and UK/EU version of the device?
Is there perhaps a firmware difference?
From a support angle, I'm guessing the warranty would only be good in Hong Kong, or does HTC do an international warranty?
Thanks
Iain
Bump.
Anyone any thoughts on the subject? Perhaps a different way of looking at is, is there any differences between the EU vs US vs ASIA versions (other than the inclusion of the Pen and Case)?
Thanks

The easy way to find out any possible differences is to check HTC sites. Here are the links that will allow you to do your own comparisons:
US HTC Flyer
HK HTC Flyer
EU HTC Flyer
For customer support, you can check here.
Thanks rlydiard.
I'd already read these, on paper the EU and ASIA versions seem to be the same item (and in that case probably are at a hardware level).
When I'm unsure of is at the firmware level. Whether EU and ASIA share a firmware or does the HK version perhaps not include any English language components (for example).

Since the HTC Flyer is using Android, at least on OS level, you should be able to switch between various languages, just as with Android phones. I am not totally sure if that is the case with HTC's Sense that comes with the Flyer, but if it is not the case, I am quite sure that you would have a choice of English or Chinese in Hong Kong.
Perhaps someone in Asia who already has a Flyer can respond to this thread and clarify this issue for you.
I don't know about the different between the UK version and the HK one. I have the HK one and this is what I can tell you. Its has both Chinese and English Interface. Actually, I am using English interface all the time. It has Chinese Pen Input for Chinese user. It has some local Chinese Web site but I never use it. I don't see any problem if you are just using English only.
Thanks cychan.
So it would seem that that there are difference versions of the firmware.
I've just purchased one in Malaysia - which has a English/Thai/Chinese/Vietnamese (with Malaysian/Singapore English options) - doesn't have US/UK/AU English
Thanks all.
In addition to asking the question here I did also email HTC UK with a similar question. I thought some of you may be interested in HTC's response:
"Concerning your questions about using a Hong Kong Flyer in the UK I can help you with that.
If the HTC Flyer is SIM free and unbranded it will work in the UK and can be repair under warranty at the nearest international repair centre (the UK)."
So, the only disadvantage it seems of having a non-UK/EU model is that potentially firmware updates may take a little longer to arrive depending on HTC's release schedule. However, even that would only seem to be a delay of a couple of days, rather than weeks/months.
Thanks again
Iain
Changes (that i have found):
OK ... as stated only 3 languages (1 English)
When using with no SIM the operator is shown in Chinese characters on the lock screen REGARDLESS of language selected
Youtube most popular videos are China's most popular videos
Watch doesn't let you buy / rent movies on the Chinese version

I bought the WiFi only version from the official UK HTC flyer store (expansys) last Thursday and is currently being shipped to me in Australia. I was not aware of the different versions at the time and when they told me over the phone that it will be shipped from Hong Kong I thought nothing of it.
Now I am worried it will be an inferior version to the UK version I assumed I would be getting.
Does anyone know if the pen and case come with the HK version?
And should I be worried, or am I worrying for no reason? :-s
**update**
I Called Expansys and they confirmed that the one on its way to me was shipped from HK and box contents includes pen and case. Also that it should not be any different just because it was shipped from HK, they just have a warehouse out there to supply that part of the world. If this turns out to be untrue I'll update my post again. Feeling a bit better now
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Dont know if this is the right spot for this, but my girlfriend has a problem. She ordered the phone via a small (cheap) webshop. Apparently they buy there phone somewhere abroad. I think it is from Russia or another cyrillic country. We are from the netherlands. The phone does have dutch settings for the phone, but not for swype(swype only has english UK/US and two cyrillic languages). Result is that she can not use swype at all. Is there a way to change the firmware to dutch firmware or to change the swype. It's a Samsung Galaxy Mini.
Thanks a lot.

i think it is the same device. Android is multilingual, so you will have many languages. I'm sure Nordic firmwares have all languages needed for you.

Although this true, when I first purchased my Motorola Xoom in Germany it had no options to change language.
I had to download an app to enable the language switch. Weird but true
