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
Hi everyone,
So I'm looking to buy a Galaxy S3 and the best price I've found so far has been online. Oh, you should probably know I'm in China right now. The website is Taobao and I use google translate to try and figure out what I'm staring at.. I'm not allowed to post a link, but if you google 'taobao' and 'galaxy s3' I think you'll understand why I haven't bought the phone yet. You see, there's one thing I can't make heads or tails of: what are these 'versions'. I'm worried that if I get the wrong version, it won't work when I go back to my home country (the Netherlands), or maybe it will, but without internet (or only 2g).. Do you think you can you help me out? A friend told me it doesn't matter and that as long as it's an i9300 it'll work everywhere, but I just want to make sure. Plus, this just got me really curious about what the difference between a Eurasian and Asia-pacific edition is...
Thanks in advance for your help!
European aka i9300. Most moddable and common model, which means best support.
I've been seen some sellers on a facebook page about korean phones like S3/S2/Note etc.
but the thing is they're much cheaper like 50% cheaper than the international/local versions. like on S3, the korean version price they sell is about $190-$255 (converted in us dollars) but the original price like if you go buy in samsung or other phone store, it's like $590-$800 price depends on the internal memory.
i was asking if i buy korean version phone, if i openline it to our country, which is philippines.. then i believe it will be i9300(S3) """tho i think the korean version is different model like T-599(just as an example)"""" coz i actually want to root it. is it possible to root it then?
those phones are like copy though.
Hi to all.
I recently bought an unbranded low cost smartphone with dual sim from a Greek Electronics Franchise.
This is their store brand, which is actually low cost Chinese products that carry the Franchise's brand.
Τhis phone is also know as THL W100S Smartphone MTK6582
So to get to the point.
Although I am pretty pleased with it's specs for it's price range it does not come with Google play (sth that I was aware of)
But i did not mind as most of the apps I can find on 1Mobile or Blackmart.
My problem is that few of the apps that I am using require Google Play Services.
So I am asking for your help, has anyone successfully rooted this phone and installed Google Play Services?
Any guide would be much appreciated.
Hi guys
I recently purchased a phone off amazon from a company called NGP store. The phone came from HK and after it came in today, it was either fake or a knock off or just not real. The languages didn't have english, there was a black charger WITH the white one inside, the box coat opened vertically instead of horizontally, and everything else I just didn't bother checking because at that point everything was pointing to fake.
I really love this phone because I bought an ATT version from best buy and it was amazing aside from the ugly company branding on the back + preloaded apps + deleting samsung's original apps including the freaking 100gb 1drive. I watched the first look video from android authority and the video "samsung galaxy s6 edge tips and tricks" from android authority on youtube. (cant post links :\ )
The link in the first look description takes me to a bunch of amazon sellers but I really don't want to deal with returning it after getting all excited and quickly disappointed after opening the box. I've never bought a phone online before so I guess I'm clueless. If anyone knows which company the guy in tips&tricks video bought his from, I'd appreciate it IMMENSELY. If not, a legit seller would be nice too. I'm looking for a white 32gb factory unlocked GSM galaxy s6 edge international version. There's another post that links me to a site called nevermsrp or something but it has no reviews so I have no clue if it's legit.
Thanks!
HONG KONG or TAIWAN
That doesn't help
