Posted by: SpecC

Starting 12/29/05 there will be no more 903 in most of the hk shops !!!!!!!! so get it now!! while some store still have it. Citicall are all out ><"



Posted by: jdm_cars

haha, good thing I got 2 brand new ones

When I was in HK from Dec 2nd to the 11th, there were tons everywhere, citicall had it at all of their stores in MongKok, even Apliu street were selling it. All over Sen Dat Mall too.

Hmm... good thing I didnt sell out mine yet.

is there a reason why they will stop selling 12/29? is it simply out of stock?



Posted by: mavericke

Oh My!That is really bad...Well,I think it is alright if anyone were to get one from UK...



Posted by: totaltoanage

specC is probably from ebay/hk shops trying to up the 903 sales. look at his/her posts. 903 isnt going anywhere.



Posted by: SpecC

LOL go see it for urself. Non e-bayer *******!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got mine too hehe ^^ btw I still see some around in Apliu street but for sure in Mong Kok all the Citicall dont sell it! I just checked it out yesterday.



Posted by: SpecC

btw the reason I am guessing they wont allow others to sell "water " 903 is that Smartone is losing money??? after the novermber full unlock release who that hell would buy a 903 that is way more expensive??? well except for those ppl who wants warranty, but that's just my guess.

Its a phone, look it up. This is a mobile phone forum and this is the Sharp section



Posted by: SpecC

just incase I get flame lol I am talking about the "water" 903 not the smartone one. Of course Smartone will sell 903 but it's at 5000+ hkd. while the "water" 903 was at 3980

Sharp 903 isn't going anywhere.

Did all of Hong Kong suddenly decide to get rid of EVERY 903 after December 29th? No. What a bunch of ******** this is. I asked my friend to go check this out for me, and he said he saw TONS today in Mongkok.

And I got mine off ebay, so you can't really use your little "non-ebayer *******" trick on me.

Nobody pay attention to this thread. This is coming from someone who registered only to post this crap. Everyone knows there are plenty of 903s everywhere.



Posted by: SpecC

ummm..... did you know I was talking about the big store branch not those little store ones. I was talking about Citicall. GO tell ur friend to go see those big stores around the Mong Kok station. Geez. if you dont know crap, then just shut up!!!! of course I did say they still sell them in those small stores like Sin Dat, but would u like to get rid off or something? btw there are a couple of stores in Apliu street too. I still see them around! I guess just wait and see. If my so call "lie" was true or not. see for yourself hehe ^^ Enjoying my white 903 waka!!!!!!



Posted by: jack_d12

i think he is for real. well for the small stores in mong kok because i read a chinese news article that hong kong customs is closing down on unlocked v903s that is running w/ the hong kong firmware which is a "pirated" sx833. it's in appledaily 12/31/2005. you know how the hk customs are w/ "pirated" things ...

See, this is why people like you look like a liar. First you try to start a bunch of commotion by saying this:

"Most" of the HK shops? I think not.

And then you try to defend yourself by saying "did you know I was talking about the big store branch not those little store ones". Where did you mention that in any of your posts before mine?

I would think it's obvious that they've been trying to crack down on it in the major stores. SmarTone/Vodafone wants to make their money off the SX833.

Now, read the title of this topic: "No more 903 in HK"

Is this true? No, it's not true at all. We are STILL able to get 903s in Hong Kong. So instead of trolling all over this board like you think you know everything, just give people the facts.

Honestly, how old are you? Calling people "*******", telling them to "shut up", and writing things like "hehe ^^". Let's stick to talking about phones, without all this other nonsense in here.



Posted by: jack_d12

hope you aren't talking about me i'm just posting the facts ... other than the "customs dog" part that was my opinion ... sorry ...



Posted by: SpecC

"Nobody pay attention to this thread." what does that say ? you are wasting your time buddy! Dont bother flamin me when you are all the way from Canada. anyway I asked Citicall again today, they claimed that they sold out, and they dont know when they are goin to have in stock. oh well

No no, don't worry.. that part was understandable. It's SpecC who's causing unnecessary commotion.

I really don't appreciate this comment. Does being from Canada make me an idiot? I think not. The reason I said don't pay attention is because you made it sound like HK was running out of 903s without saying why or where you heard it.

Admit you worded it poorly, and let's move on. No hard feelings.



Posted by: totaltoanage

everyone stfu and happy new years!!!!!!!!!!!!! jeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!



Posted by: superfire

why not check with 3 siu?



Posted by: jack_d12

i thought 3 siu is from jerry kee shop ?! and if that's true ... jerry kee (and his shop) is the guy under investigation because he invented the v903 firmware flashing or the first one to do it .. something like that .... i think it's mentioned on the news article ...?!??!



Posted by: SpecC

umm.... yeah I do admit I worded it badly? SO WHAT? haha anyway Happy New Year!!! luckly I ddint get one from Jerry keke. As Jack mentioned before, I guess it would be temporary.



Posted by: SpecC

btw I dont enjoying being acuse of being an Hk/ Ebayer!!!!!!!!! cause I am not one.



Posted by: keuair

jerry kee's website is still operational wor!!!



Posted by: SpecC

hehe yep. I guess he did get busted ^^ but I was going to go to his HQ in MK



Posted by: dragonblue

Can any1 tell me is it against the law by unlocking mobile phones in HK?



Posted by: iplen

Theres a whole thread on that somewhere.. But as far as I know, it isnt.

But I heard that it voids your warrenty.



Posted by: Timsta

lol. wow... lets get our facts straight. jerry kee didn't invent 903sh flashing.. he did have a hand in it.. and his store/office is on a weekly raid basis by government officials under the advise of Smartone.

hk does still have units availabe for sale of the 903sh.. but its getting scarce. very scarce.



Posted by: rip

Glad i got mine, everything works( almost) on it now...WAP, MMS...thanks to you guys!



Posted by: Timsta

sweet. good stuff. i love the 903sh. i can't wait for the 904sh. i keep hearing different rumors about the 904sh... i hear its coming out in april.. then i heard.. its turned into the 905 now.. 904 design on hold.. so many rumours flying around.

Gonna have to agree with you. Sometimes the shops will spread "inventory" rumours themselves just to make people buy the phones now rather than later. While customs may have be coming down on Jerry Kee, his firmware is out on the street and they can't really do anythinga bout it. Also, the Smartone SX833 firmware (which is unlocked) can also be flashed to the V903SH.

Appledaily is known for making up BS just to sell copies/get readership. Sensationalist crap and all. It's no better than reading The Inquirer or your local variety tabloid.

I was down in Mong Kok last week and saw plenty of unlocked Vodafone "water product" V903SH, in both black and red. Now they got a beige one too. Pricing was around ~3900 HKD.

To the original poster, if you wanna feel special that's fine, but spreading crap like this doesn't serve anyone.
