    No shipping to Oz?
    nvm: just tried through checkout and Oz does come up, its just the main page that only shows European delivery options.

  • samfisher5986 on 15/09/2010 - 22:29

    where can you find official specs for this phone?

  • TimeOrMoney on 15/09/2010 - 22:34

    Effectively AU$680.

    Pretty much the HTC Evo minus the America-only Sprint 4G, right?
    Any issues with buying this particular phone from overseas? Carrier locking, etc.?

    • stumo on 15/09/2010 - 22:50

      I make it just over AUD$750? What AUD's are you using?

      This will be network unlocked, though no 850MHz band so no good for Telstra NextG.

      • TimeOrMoney on 15/09/2010 - 22:55

        Apologies, forgot to include shipping. $750 is about right.

        This will be network unlocked, though no 850MHz band so no good for Telstra NextG.

        But specs say:

        Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

        • stumo on 15/09/2010 - 23:04

          Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

          Key works there are "GSM/GPRS/EDGE" - those are the 2G bands, they have nothing to do with 3G data.

          What you are looking for is the bit that says…

          HSPA/WCDMA: • Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz

          Therefore no 850MHz 3G (NextG) compatibility :-(

        • sromer on 10/10/2010 - 18:12

          Do you need to pay GST when you get it imported ?

          and does it come with a warranty ?

  • lostsock on 15/09/2010 - 22:58

    I have been waiting for a few months now to get a new phone and this looks very promising!

    Anyone got any guesses as to which telcos this will be available on? stumo suggests that it's not compatible with NextG so do people thing that it's unlikely to be a Telsta exclusive like the non HD Desire?

    Also, if we buy this from overseas, who has the best BYO phone plan which includes data and calls?

    Edit: Also, has anyone ever used superetrader.co.uk before? Comments? Issues? What happens with warranty claims etc?

  • Jabba the Hutt on 15/09/2010 - 23:03

    This page says they only accept bank deposit for orders from outside Europe:

    http://www.superetrader.co.uk/international_orders.html

    Also seems like a bit of a gamble as far as warranty is concerned - I'd want to check whether the phone has an international warranty and what the terms are.

    • stumo on 15/09/2010 - 23:09

      The paypal button still shows up on checkout after you select AU, so give it a try.

      I'd be picking local warranty its the same as an imported Desire SD, ie. none. You could always get a Mack warranty or something. You gotta pay to play.

  • 00 on 15/09/2010 - 23:24

    "We expect stock of the HTC Desire HD to ship on the 13th Of October, we expect a VERY high demand for this product we strongly recommmend placing a pre-order to avoid disappointment. Thank you" according to the site.

  • lostsock on 15/09/2010 - 23:35

    Here is the offical page on HTC's site. http://www.htc.com/www/product/desireHD/overview.html

    I'm guessing that link isn't meant to be up yet cos the specifications and pictures are still showing the regular desire not the HD version.

    eg. the linked image is http://www.htc.com/uploadedImages/WWW/Product/HTC_Desire/siz… but http://www.htc.com/uploadedImages/WWW/Product/HTC_Desire_HD/… works… shrugs :P

  • wildstone on 16/09/2010 - 00:12

    If I read the specs correctly it does not have front facing camera and gyroscope, correct?

    • TimeOrMoney on 16/09/2010 - 00:37

      front facing camera

      Doesn't look like it.

      gyroscope

      That should be the G-Sensor.

  • mars2k on 16/09/2010 - 00:30

    I want one, where's the promo code, Need one unlocked shipped to US but I don't know what our HSPA bands are. Same as Eur/Asia?

    • hypocrisyinaction on 16/09/2010 - 06:21

      AT&T uses 850/1900. T-mobile uses 1700/2100 but it's this bizarre setup where one is upload and the other download so you need both to have 3G, which basically means that it won't work. The CDMA carriers are obviously incompatible too. You can still use the phone at GSM/EDGE speeds but it won't work with 3G in the US. Unfortunately this is fairly common at the moment, you'll need to look out for a US-only release if they do one in the future since the rest of the world basically uses 2100 and/or 900MHz - American 3G bands are a special case.

      • sloshie on 16/09/2010 - 07:15

        Try the HTC Evo - the Desire HD is basically the same phone, but for a non-US audience.

    • sloshie on 16/09/2010 - 07:16

      Promo code is just below the title of the post. :)

    My god more techo's making no sense.

    Its like those trying to buy an iphone before it was available in OZ.

    This is a bargain site - not a wish site.

    Not one person has indicated how this is a bargain. Yes not locked to any network, but its an outright purchase and may nor may not ship to OZ, this really belongs in the forums or am I missing something. And I have read the posts…..

    And its pre-order so how they hell does anyone know if its going to be a bargain….

    Give me some reasons NOT to can this and let someone put it in the forums….

    • overlook on 16/09/2010 - 10:36

      compare to all other sites of uk this is about the best price with the bonuses.

      edit: youre right they have no indication about shipping to here…but those bonuses really make them better deal

    • cyssero on 16/09/2010 - 21:15

      I think it's a bargain after reading http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/htc-desire-z-priced-at-54…

      • Play.com is doing it for 470 GBP ex delivery

      So $456 GBP delivered seems like a good deal with the included bonuses.

      It's a good pre-order price but will likely be available from all importers once it launches and stock is more available.

  • lostsock on 16/09/2010 - 10:30

    Sorry ozpete, I got kinda swept up in the excitement of it all :P

    We don't know that this is going to be a bargain as the prices haven't been released. However based on the price of the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S in Aus it is likely that getting it from overseas will be cheaper than getting it here.

    I haven't looked at the rules in a little while so this may or may not fit the criteria of bargain; but I'm glad it was posted otherwise I wouldn't have known about it :)

    • Lukian on 16/09/2010 - 10:34

      50gbp saving! (more than most bargains)
      also free $10 subscription to an android rom community.

  • nadan on 16/09/2010 - 10:59

    Isn't this cheaper for £420 plus 25 for delivery or am I missing something?

    http://clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?Manufacturer=HTC&Item=HT…

    • stumo on 16/09/2010 - 21:50

      you are missing 2 things…
      1. The extras in this deal.
      2. at clove - "Official Price and Availability To Be Confirmed"

  • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2010 - 11:37

    Guys your comments are helpful but please remember this.

    A Bargain isnt just to do with the base price, and also we are comparing overseas deals with what - other overseas deals.

    Also simple cash conversion of Overseas currency £456.49 to AUD on google shows
    759.681845 and good luck getting this rate except maybe with the Wizard card. And also the other transaction fees.

    Yep getting it for £50 less is a deal, if the effective price is cheaper than here. Vodka discounted by 40% in Roubles means nothing if its 10% more than a bottle here.

    But buy an Iphone, which I know most of you wont buy otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, on a plan here is $1200 odd vs the $900 odd for outright, so really buying a phone without a plan is very limited for most people.

    I am sure this will come with some plan or other here.

    And will this company warrant the phone, will it be covered here? Many issues make this unlikely to be any deal. Again we dont have any local comparison price.
    Given that is is now off the radar most viewers its no point closing it down now, so its being left, but really it shouldn't have been in the deals. A forum post would have been better and probably more effective as it would be seen longer.

    Nice deal - still wont be as nice as the Galaxy S ;)

    It's a Sim-Free version of the phone.
    Useless in Australia?

    • daijek on 25/09/2010 - 23:15
      +2

      Sim-free means you are just buying the phone in its original package and firmware version for your country/region

  • sromer on 10/10/2010 - 17:47

    Do you need to pay GST when you get it imported ?
