So I want to buy a new phone...

I'm selling my trusty HTC Touch Pro, unlocked. The phone has pretty much the same battery time as when new, which is not amazing but usable (I have to charge it every other day if using as phone, and every day if I use it for ssh administration or web browsing).

The phone is this one: http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/gallery.html (http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/gallery.html)

There are two things of note on this device;
- The screen is scratched from carrying on the pocket. Lots of small scatches, a couple larger ones but nothing that blocks the view in any way. They are simply perceptible.
- The volume up key stopped working, go figure. Not that I use it regularly, so maybe it was lack of usage that killed it :)

Other than that it works great. It charges using the USB port, but I don't have a mains adapter. I will provide a cable for connecting to the computer.

I'll also include an adapter so you can use your phones with it (I use that on the car) just like this one: http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/A11A4401.htm (http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/A11A4401.htm)

I don't bundle a minisd card, but you can use at least up to 8GB there (that's what I'm using). This phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, but it can run android pretty well from the SD card, except the battery life will suck deeply (slightly less than a day per charge, if mostly on standby). It is pretty good for development testing, though.

So, BTC 150 shipped to Europe? To the US should be around 4~5 BTC extra, I think.

Can we see pictures ?

Sure. Sorry for the suckish images but the only cameras I have available right now are webcam and the actual phone, so webcam it had to be. I can get better quality pictures soon if there's an interest in the device.

How old ?
Is there still warranty ? Do you have the bill ?

Can you install android to the phone, or only use it from card ?

approx. 3 years, no warranty, no bill. You can't flash android directly on the phone because windows does a buch of init stuff the guys at xdandroid didn't reverse engineer yet. There is an util that boots android automatically after windows mobile loads, but I haven't tried it.

XDAndroid is here: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page (http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page) the HTC Touch pro is the Raphael.

Hmm, well actually I'm looking for a "full android" phone, so yours doesn't fit perfectly.
Maybe some other people show interest in it.
Good luck with selling it.

Well, I'm selling it to buy a full android phone myself, so there you have it :)

No interest? I already bought another phone, so before I post this on the local auctions... 100 BTC shipped to EU, +10 US?

While the price has changed significantly (the price of bitcoins, that is), I still have this up for sale.

Any interest?

So you want http://irage.ca/2btc.php?a=100 )&r=1 for the phone?  And + http://irage.ca/2btc.php?a=10&r=1 for shipping to the US?

Sure :)

The fact I say and the fact the previous post is dated March 4 can be completely ignored... I know you are busy and can't be bored with context ;)

Oh, didn't see the dates. I'll give you 5btc :p

That is actually a fair bid. I have someone locally wanting to buy it from me for a bit more (in cash). I prefer selling for bitcoins, but will take the best bid still.

Remember that I'm shipping from Europe.
