Guest dalyer Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 On the other hand some people claimed that courier shipments were more likely to get hit for taxes than regular post? Not sure how true that is though... Still waiting on my Haier W910 from DealsPrime which shipped on 19th Sept... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SG8 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm getting really impatient waiting for my w200. It left China allegedly dayyyys ago. Suppose it's still only been 12 days so far...What did it cost? Seen a few sold on ebay.co.uk for around 127gbp - 149gbp, so was thinking of getting one on there (UK stock, so no delays or customs to be added. There are a few buy it now for around 169 also.

Guest Frankish Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I paid around the 128 mark but I did opt for free shipping as dhl shipped items seem to get customs charges. They sent my phone almost instantly and it left China promptly it's just the bit I between now where Parcelforce don't have tracking info for it yet.

I head the exact opposite. :) Myself, I recieved my Haier after 40 days with a full customs charge worth 1/4 of the phone cost using China registered air mail. Unlucky? I wouldn't say so.

Guest Maringer Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think that if you order by DHL, you're almost certain to catch customs/import duty. Your best option is to get the seller to claim the value of the package is much less than actually paid to reduce the cost of these charges.If you go by one of the cheaper services you've got a better chance of avoiding any additional charges, but you do have to wait...For orders placed during the past couple of weeks, note that it was the Chinese Moon Festival on 19th September when apparently pretty much everything grinds to a halt anywhere with a large Chinese population. Expect additional delays to postage of the sort you also get around Christmas and (Western) New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 That's what i suspected with my package i'm only impatient because when i tracked my X9 on the Chinese website one day it said it had left the country the next it showed up on parcel force and was delivered. So i got a little excited to see my W200 "leave the country" so quick. I was hoping i'd missed the delays but evidently not.It has only been a week and 6 days tomorrow though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Containerx2 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Any users with Haier W910? I would like some opinios regarding this phone, not reviews from various sites. :) I head the exact opposite. :) Myself, I recieved my Haier after 40 days with a full customs charge worth 1/4 of the phone cost using China registered air mail. Unlucky? I wouldn't say so. So, any thoughts please? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blaster99999 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've bought 5 phones from China all China post all marked as gift $50 value and not been charged any import duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ovecka Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 So, any thoughts please? :D It's one hell of a phone for its price. Awesome screen, perfect build quality, a tad low battery but still, it can handle 3 days as I am neiter gamer nor facebook user. Everything is perfectly smooth and I haven't noticed any bugs yet. Apart from that, the GPS is the best I have ever seen outside of dedicated systems. It can fix the signal inside a building with 2 floors above me. Outside, the fix takes about 15 seconds with a 3 m accuracy which is great for both geocaching and navigation. I am a 100% satisfied user (I flashed a JB ROM right after receiving it so I have no experience with the preinstalled ICS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalyer Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) My Haier W910 arrived today - but in work and I'm at home! :-| Ordered from DealsPrime on 6th Sept, shipped on 19th and arrived today. Don't think I got hit for taxes - unless my boss paid them for me! :-D Looking forward to playing with it and passing my G300 (with superslim-v1 GB) on to my gf. ovecka - can you link to the root/CWM/JB ROM and instructions that you used please - thanks.

Edit: the Chrome/Google translation of the Czech forum is not great unfortunately so it's difficult to make sense of some of it... Is that ROM linked above Czech only or does it include English?

Guest Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Xiaomi has said that they are going to be releasing their kernel sourcecode for many of the phones: http://miuiandroid.com/2013/09/17/exclusive-xiaomi-mi-device-kernel-will-open-sourced/ So we will be able to make cyanogenmod roms for MediaTek roms soon :) The Xiaomi Hongmi (red rice) WCDMA version (version that works in many western countries) will be released soon so we will be able to have a red rice phone at a good price and be able to put cyanogenmod on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a much better spec than the G300 - even just the SoC used: Haier W910 has Snapdragon S4 MSM8260A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_S4 G300 has Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_S1 It's single SIM only. Or course it supports 3G! You can easily seach for the specs and a few reviews that exist online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that ROM linked above Czech only or does it include English? What is it? CM? AOSP JB? Something else? It's just a regular lightweighted "stock" multilanguage JB ROM ripped from gASK's (OP) phone as a CWM backup. I think the ROM itself comes preinstalled from some Chineese e-shops.

Pity that production is over and most stores don't actually have it in stock, although it is listed :) For miui open source - it is not cm possibility that makes me happy, but the fact that miui for mtk (hongmi) will be more easily transfered to other mtk phones.
