I need to have one now (XDAII) - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Short and Sweet.
I want One and I want one NOW.
If you are anywhere that sells the new XDA2 let me know and I will arrange some thing.

Contract free of corse
Unlocked , sim free, no ties,, JUST IT HAS TO BE LEGAL>
Or I will have you talked to

O2 Shop in Cambridge has some available
(or 1 less when I get there shortly )
[Edit to add - hadn't refreshed the screen since your original post :roll: so didn't notice the sim free bit :roll: ]

Any Idea on cost ?
I am in currently Australia.. But I can have some one pop up there.
Do you know the price and do they sell them contract free. I just want the unit. No plans or nothing.

I'm from France, and I just phone O2...
Unfortunatelly, they want you to have a bank account in UK to sell it to you, (because of the 12 months contract, I think !)
I told them, I can pay the whole thing in one time, but no way ... , and they don't sell it SIM FREE :x , even full price .
So sorry ... :?

£349 & not Sim Free

Hum so maybe not available as a walkin and buy it thing.
And then they wonder why there is such a big market in stolen and simunlocked equipment.
Stupid airtime people.
So to cost it further.
£349 for the phone
£20 x 12 for the contract + £20 for last month
I would be happy at £609. Is that a lot in this world I ask ?
**** I would make that back in the first application I develop for one person.
But still pinching pennys ...
Is there a charge for having the phone unlocked (by O2)
so that it is sim free after the contract ?
I assume that I can just terminate the contract early giving notice and the outstanding amount or let my mate use free time on the Sim for the year.
then cancel it after that.
If we looked at this with a slant.
The Telcos (service providors) are using Phones like the tobacco companies use the cigerette.
Once you are hooked the device is just the method of delivering the services that will generate ongoing revenue from your useage.
Steve
Totaly slanted

£15 per month....
Wait to see how long it takes before someone on here works out how to unlock it & save the money

Getting better.
Hum ok calculator out again.
15 x 12 wow thats only £23.50 including vat.
£544 plus unlocking charge.. ?? Looking better.
Has any body ever paid it if so how much was it and is it the same for all phones.!
Steve

dont you have to add the price of sending the xda2 across the earth if it's from uk in a manner which makes sure it's not damaged ?

On US eBay, www.ebay.com, search i mate
98 items for sale "Buy it Now" at US$ 999.00 shipping included by FedEx,
unlocked.
Shipped from Hong Kong (O2 Asia) but seller is in San Francisco.
Seller's feedback looks OK.
Expensive, yes, but if you are rushed...

They are kicking about on expansys now for £572

T-mobile in Germany for EUR 605
And @ T-mobile in Germany for EUR 605.00 simlock free.
But then you have the German language operation system.
1. What a diff between UK & GR ? How come
2. How do we solve the German bit ?

Best place to buy Magician in the EU?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy Qtek S100/XDA Mini/MDA Compact in the EU, would love some recommendations. It is really expensive in Sweden, so I thought of buying it elsewhere.
Thanks! :wink:

I bought 4 MDA Compacts on 18th Dec and had them in my hand via ups on the 24th in Spain, and they only charged 20 euros for shipping. Highly recommended
Are they Sim-Locked?
I also bought mine at blueshop24. Delivery was next day (I live in Belgium).
My unit is not sim-locked, it worked within 5 minutes with my Belgian sim card.
I did have a German ROM, but that I changed in English (see other threads here).
How about warranty issues?
1) Lets say you get a dead pixel at delivery? blueshop does not have any return policy, so you''re stuck with it.
2) If the unit breaks, do you send it to Germany, or what? Will the repair shop accept sending it back to your country...
Any tips on a store where they accept paying by credit card? Transferring to bank accounts abroad seems complicated.
Well, I finally ordered from blueshop24 trough ebay. After the buy i went trough the aftershop and after that i recieve this mail:
[email protected]:
quota exceeded
Nice, so now I have no clue whether they have recieved my order or anything. Good start.....

I bought my JAM from them - they were great. I used the online store, but also phoned them to check delivery etc. and ask them a couple of questions about porting my number. I got through to them on the phone on two occasions without being put on hold (which was a minor miracle just before Christmas), and I got the phone next day. Very pleased with their service.
I got my JAM with an O2 contract - 200 mins + 200 texts (100 after 3 months) for £25 a month, and the JAM cost around £150 (can't remember exactly
Cheers,
Simon
I liked their prices for the device, But after 3 months on that O2 plan, you will only have 100 mins AND 100 texts per month, though?
Avoid blueshop24
These people ar retards...
In their ebay descriptipn it says that PayPal is available for customers abroad. Nowehere on their website or anywhere is it specified anything more about that.
So I ordered an item, went to PayPal, it broguht up my autcion, I clicked "Pay", and that was it! Thats what I thought.....
After a few days mailing they told me I had the wrong PayPal email for them, and that I had to ssend it to anther email. (Good job from their side letting customers know this fact,t he correct email is not specified ANYWHERE on their website)
So, I cancelled the payment and made a new one. This caused me to go bankrupt since it takes a couple of days for a transaction to be returned to your account, but the new transaction was withdrawn immediately, of course. Anyway, it's still ok, these things happen.
Imagine my surprise when i 2 days later (today) recieve an email that they have received my payment. Great, I though.
BUT, they want another 9 euros because I paid through PayPal., which once again is not specified ANYWHERE on their site. They did have a like to a page "specifying all cost for our customers abroad", but the link was broken, and they wrote the above info in the German part of the email, not in the english. (great thinking) Good thing i know some German.
This is outrageout, I regret shopping from these people. I do hope they with take back the claim for the extra fee, it's not a lot of money, but it is amatter of principle.
Just wanted to tell you that you should be aware of all this if you shop with hem.

Yes - this is standard on the o2 tariffs for all resellers. For the first 3 months you get double minutes and texts. You need to be a wee bit careful, because some websites advertise this as a "200" tariff (and mention in the small print that it halves in 3 months). Others call this a "100" tariff with a special deal for the first 3 months. Either way, as far as I can tell, EVERY website charges £25 for this tariff whatever they call it. For £30 a month you get a 200 tariff (again with double minutes for three months).
Bottom line: all the websites' tariffs are identical, the only difference is the cost of the JAM (as far as I can tell).
Hope this helps,
Simon

Blueshop24?
I ordered and paid so that they'd deliver it to me the next week (I was in Germany that week). They took 11 days and still hadn't accepted my paypal payment. Now, I was already back from Germany so I clearly wasn't gonna get it as planned.
I cancelled and went with mobilejoker.de (426Euros)
I bought mine from Dustin in Sweden for 4 636 SEK including a 512 MB SD-card. Then of course, there is the lovely 25% sales tax if you buy it privately, which I naturally did not.
Skip
I should have gone with Mobilejoker too, they seemed more serious. Well,you live and you learn
LeSkip: Well the price from blueshop is 4000 SEK including 17% VAT, and a 1GB SD is around 500SEK with shipping from the US, so....
But ten again, if I bought it from Dustin I would have the phone in my hand by now.
It is now (since July 2004) against Ebays rules for a seller to try and charge extra for certain payment services. They either take the paypal hit themselves, or they dont accept paypal.
I have had barneys with a number of UK sellers over this (they dont seem to understand plain english).
I dont know whether this is an ebay rule or just an ebay.co.uk rule though.

Mobilejoker are shipping mine on Monday.
Because I live outside Germany, there's a 39Euro delivery charge (5 Euros in Germany)
There's a 15 Euro Cash On Delivery charge because it cost more for me to transfer the money internationally(£25 from my bank).
Now, with those 2 charges (64 Euros) and a 1GB SD card (65 Euros), it's still costing me less from mobilejoker (£380) than Expansys (£411 )

Help Me Buy a XDA EXEC: I Will pay for your 1yr Subscription

EDIT*
Ok guys I will be visiting the UK this week, I really need someone to help me get this phone as o2 only sells to UK residents. I saw on one of theses treads that they now have a student price for 114 ponuds with a 1 year contract bringing the final price to around 345 pounds....CAN ANYONE HELP? FYI:
will pay cash
would buy 2 if price is good (extra phone for wife)
don't want to try EBAY :shock: that place is just to scary for me!!!
will pay little extra for your time/trouble
Hello All,
I don't live in the UK, however I really want one of thoses black beauties (XDA EXEC). I need an o2 member to buy the phone for me with the lowest 1 year subscrition. I will then pay for the cost of the phone and half the cost of the subscription! You get a full year of service with o2 at half the online cost to use on your present phone and I get a XDA EXEC at a reduced price can any of you be willing to help me! of course this is for people who don't really want a XDA but want a new o2 contract at half the price!
Thanks [/list]
wont they release the phone contract free??
I think you'll struggle to find anyone willing to accept that deal, truth be told. O2 don't offer great deals with subsidised 'phones (in the UK at least) apart from maybe to existing customers whom they hope to retain. For example, the cheapest tariff available with a handset is something like £17 for 50 minutes but it's not difficult to find, for example Vodafone sims (with cashback) that effectively offer 1000 minutes for free. e.g.
http://www.scancom.co.uk/product.php/958/476//655aea8edf70d8d14da1da39d5d245e6
Also, the XDA Exec will be locked to O2, maybe even to O2 Uk, so I'd either just stump up the extra for a jasjar/qtek or wait until there's a proven unlock procedure.
sorry to be so negative.
:shock: well i really hope someone is interested in helping, i know the phone will come locked, but with a community like this :lol: i KNOW i will be able to unlock it. Call me silly but the JasJar is ugly compared to the xda exec, hence me wanting one. xiasma, thanks for your feedback, i guess it would not be worth anyones time to take up my offer!
Well, it seems you're aware of the options, so if an XDA is the handset you want, O2 have suggested a contract-free price of £400, so this may be your best bet. The prices should be available by the end of the week, or Monday next week at latest, i'd guess.
I'm hoping O2 offer it on their online, business-only tariffs (£16.50+VAT / month) at less than £250+VAt for the XDA. Failing that, I don't mind which network really, and the colour doesn't bother me, so it'll probably be T Mobile, possibly on their 100mb 3G tariff.
£400...that would be the cheapest price yet for this kind of device, Do you know if this applies to non UK persons? that works out to $TT4000.00 in my currency :lol: If you get more info PLEASE keep me updated. Thanks a mill friend!
As soon as I know pricing and availability, I'll post it in this forum. Unless someone beats me to it
Somebody is deaming
T-Mobile is tradtionally the cheapest and most agressive, and they sell it for 550GBP on Germany. There is no way o2 is doing for 400GBP. your are kidding yourself. Expect, at best, between 500-600 sim free from o2. They are just never cheap to buy from o2.
REALLY NEED YOUR HELP GUYS!!!
oh I forgot please PM me your telephone contact and i will call to finalize any details!
thanks again
haha, are you kidding?
you can get the phone for 114 + 19x6= 228 pounds, and the one who get it for you, need to pay for 114 pounds for 50 mins per months and no new phone at all?
then what is the benefit for him?
i think if i sell the phone for 400 pounds, there are a lot of people want to buy it....
then at least he/she no need to pay for the whole year contract and earn a little bit of money..
@siupiu
How do you get a 6 month contract? I have misunderstood your calculation?
the guy said that he will only pay for half of the cost of the subscription, so he only pay for 228, and the the person need to pay the rest of the subscription, so the person who help him to get the Exec, need to pay 114 and have no new phone...
to be honest, who will do this stupid things???
if there are anyone who to sell the phone to me for 228 pounds, i probably buy as much as i can.
siupiu, I WILL PAY FOR THE FULL YEAR SERVICE...so i get the phone and the person gets 1 year's services paid up front to use.
siupiu
these phones (XDA EXEC) are flying of ebay for £450 to £600, put on tomtom and throw in a GPS reciver and youl get more-one just went for £695.00 with the GPS stuff on ebay, mate youl be lucky if you get one for less then £250.
If you do give me a shout il buy em in bulk! lol

O2 UK Great Pricing error.

Get them while there hot again, O2 stores have got an error on there POS system, which they are not able to correct untill Friday, consequently, you can get a new XDA Mini S (HTC Wizard) for only £79.99 on whatever Tarif you want, including the low price base ones, got my two upgrades free but with a £50:00 trade in of a crap old nokia got myself a third for £29.99 and an additional £7:95.
So I am now the proud owner of 3 HTC Wizards which cost me in total the princeley some of £29.99.
So don't miss out get down to the UK O2 shops with your crappy old trade inns now before they get the system fixed.
Thanks Chaps,
Regards Ash'e
Is this right? You can buy a non contract wizard for £80?
I'd be interested in one for development...

Hi - what did you have to supply to get the £50 trade in - just phone or other bits of kit?

No, he said on whatever tariff you like, so probably 10 or 15 quid a month and 79 quid outlay initially.
Blimey, if I'd have known that I'd have stuck with o2. Ah well, never mind, T-Mobile seems fairly good and cheap...
Trade Whatever you want
Hey Guys
you can trade in whatever phone you like, as long as it boots and as long as you have its charger.
Then you get £50.00 back taken of the £79.99 leaving you with just £29.99 to pay (bargain) but here the really good part, untill the end of the week you can put it on any tarrif you want including the low band ones starting at £16:00 a month. But hurry chaps they won't let this keep going on for long.
Best Regards - Ash'e
As an Added Bonus
Oh & forgot to mention as an added bonus O2 are also offering DOUBLE MINUTES & TEXTS for SIX MONTHS on all UPGRADES & NEW CONNECTIONS (BONUS SCORE)
Regards Ash'e
PS - (Can you really go wrong chaps considering the real value of the Wizard)
(& Think of what the other poor sods in the rest of Europe have to pay.)
(Now if we could only get an I-Mode browser for the wizard to take advantage of O2 great new service, Still I live in hope, O2 I-Mode is totally free till the first of January & I-Mail is Totally Free till April 2006 eclusive to O2).
This poor sod is on T-Mobile netherlands and paid 110 euro for a 1 year 150 minutes (21 euro a month) contract renewal...
That sucks for me. Because i have an online contract, i can't take advantage of any of these deals.
The upgrade centre don't even have the XDA mini on their systems yet!!
So angry
Just tried this on in my local O2 highstreet store and they wouldn't do it. They basicaly said 'thats obviosuly an error, f**k off'.
Oh well, at least I tried...
I called O2 for an upgrade and they said I could have the Mini S for free or the Exec for £150.
Yep - got my XDA mini with O2 - lowest tariff, traded in a broken mobile.
Scott
Where have you had sucess doing this? I tried a shop in central london and the guy wasn't having it at all!
Hmmm. I need to look for a discount airfare r/t over there. LOL
low airfare.
well, new york london for only £120 check cheapflights.com
ehehehe
Geez, I haven't been into UK since I bought my nickel plated, Metisse framed, two barreled weber carburated, side hack mounted Trumpet...and then left my wife and kids in the hotel to ride it back to Germany...in November. LOL
Man, those were the days..197?
Check out This
http://www.mobileswizard.co.uk/display.asp?hs=xdaminis&tariff=none
to compare O2 plans and how much you will end up paying if bought online
and this for T-Mobile
http://www.mobileswizard.co.uk/display.asp?hs=mdav&tariff=none
I like the info on the right saying "Min Term Cost"
gives you and idea of how much you will end up paying.
Still the tradein offer (if you get in 25 quid) is cheaper making it. £217)
Or even if you dont get trade in and have an offline tarif for £16 you will be paying £291.
Think anyone can beat that??????
let me know I am after the phone.
Call O2 Store Uxbridge
Just got mine yesterday form the O2 Store in Uxbridge, payed a grand total of £29:99 for it on upgrade, on my low tarif asked the same deal is available on new contracts, if you don't believe me call the store on (01895) 252163 ask for Greg (Nice Aussied Chap) and you will see. That other O2 store is talking BS,

Where did/are you getting your Touch HD from?

I'm mainly interested in the UK buyers really, but I guess this thread could be useful for anyone if everyone posts where they got it and how much it cost?
I have a contract with 02 already and so have no choice but to buy the phone sim free. I have it pre-ordered through Play.com so is setting me back £520. This will be the first time I've bought a phone without my provider having given me it for free/nominal fee...I'm having a hard time coming to terms with such an outlay. I could buy a laptop for this price! I still want it though, it looks great!
i pre-ordered mine from clove - cost 482 pound with dhl shippment to croatia.
Will preorder tomorrow from www.digitec.ch.
Cost: CHF 689.- (with renewal of my subscription).

I am thinking of doing the same thing as this would be my first phone sim free too as well as windows mobile and although it is a lot I worked out that it could be cheaper then you think. As I put into the equation that if I got this from T-Mobile I would have to pay about £100-£150 for the phone plus my phone bill would be around £35-£45 per month on an 18 month contract.
But if I bought the HD sim free and changed to the t-mobile sim only deal (£25) I could save around £300 plus having to pay around £100 for the phone it comes to a total of around £400 or even more.
So in a way it does not cost that much but the only problem is paying a big lump sum rather then spread it out (thanks Capital one for your 0% interest until November 09).
My only problem is who to buy from?
I'm probably going to be getting one from Expansys along with a T-Mo web'n'walk contract.
I am in the same boat. I am only 8 months in on an 18 month contract with 3 network. I really want the phone. At £500+ for the handset and then just use my USIM in it (hoping it works and is compatible) seems a lot. However I could by a second contract with O2 and get the phone free on a £35 contract and pay around £580 in total for an 18th month contract overall. So for £80 more I get lots of minutes and texts over 18 months as opposed to nothing at all when just buying the handset. Decisions decisions.
Speaking from the other side of the pond...I preordered mine a month ago from Expansys USA for $885CAN, which at the moment is 453GBP. Not bad considering they want $1100CAN now.
i pre ordered mine from www.pdaplaza.ca last week at $940can , i will get it tomorow, they now sell it for $971 can
Pre ordered mine from here: http://www.algebeld.nl/index.php?Pa...tegories=0&ProductPlusProducts=0&DataBundel=0
I have also ordered an 8GB micro SD from Play, but wouldn't mind finding out if the UK sim free ones come with one, as another guy on this forum from NL said his did.
I've justified the cost to myself by the fact that I have sold two of my old phones and will 'only' need to put £220 to it to make up the balance.
I'll buy mine from o2 germany, because I have contract there. I hope that its coming this week, I'm soooooo curious.. I want it!!! So, I'll have to pay 290€ for it (in terms of contract, with 30€ per month), I think this is ok. Greez, cad^^
Wow! Guys in Canada can have their Touch HD's by tomorrow!!! awesome!
please do post ur reviews here once u get them. I am really concerned about its navigational capabilites, coz of lack of the DPAD.
I want to order the phone in USA, as my cousins staying in Manhattan will have to get it for me in December.
Long wait for me!
PS: PLEASE suggest me some "non-ebay Online Stores" where i can buy the Touch HD, with a creditcard.
Thanks.

No, unfortunately I didn't call them, but many in the internet say that its possible to come even earlier because the release was earlier, too in netherlands.

If I do go for the Touch HD (considering SE X1 too - difficult choice), then I would probably (at this point) get it from Mobiles.co.uk.
I phoned up and told them that Orange have exclusivity on it in the UK (until 01 Jan 09 I believe).
However, the guy (who wasn't that informed it seemed) said that if it was on the site then it was authorised for sale.
Also, I saw on one website, a recent post said that with tariffs on O2 above 600 minutes, you get free web access as an "O2 Bolt-On". Seems like a good deal.
Unfortunately, O2 itself will have no stock and I've been out of my contract for 1 month now waiting for the X1 to come out. Therefore, I'd have to get a new contract, and a new number (you can't transfer an O2 number to a new O2 number provided by a third party I think).

Purchasing an HD on o2 locked or unlocked

I currently live in Jordan and the HTC touch HD has just arrived, but at a cost. Because the pound is having such a bad time it works out to £810, but it is operator free as are all phones here. I'll be returning to the UK for a months holiday shortly and wonder if I take out an o2 contract, will the phone be locked onto this network like Orange or will it be unlocked?
I did email mobiles.co.uk as they seem to have some good deals, however they ignored my request and therefore obviously don't need my custom.
Perhaps I should buy an unlocked one off ebay and continue to use my PAYG sim cards.
Any thoughts?
I just sold mines for 400 pounds.
I bought on an O2 contract from mobiles.co.uk and it is unlocked.
Cheers

cheapest htc touch hd contract
Hi,
My First post here on Xda
I got My Htc touch HD (Blackstone) on Orange contract , I googled the Cheapest ,lowest priced deal anywhere in Uk as far As I can tell.
It was from : www.buymobilephones.net , They are based in the Uk , I ordered My Phone On sunday Night 2am! , got the Blackstone on Tuesday Morning By Special Deliverly Next Day! The Price of the phone was £59.99 , with Orange Racoon 20 (24months) , the line rental is £19.57 per month.
This is the cheapest way to get a HTC TOUCH HD , better than buying unlocked for £499 , or direct from orange shop £79.99 for phone plus £45 per month rental charge , also www.buymobilephones.net do the Phone with an 02 Unlocked , available from Mobiles.co.uk ( their website keeps messing up when you try to place an order , so stay clear of them )
I have unlocked the phone , use my t-mobile chip in it , from htccodes.
Another thing BBC Iplayer works really well this phone , just goto this website and enter www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/ , But You must use Opera Broswer , as it won't work with IRIS OR IE.
You won't get Flash video working from the main bbc.co.uk website , it has to be special mobile site for flash videos to work.
Is there a way to get the ORANGE logo and intro removed from my phone ?

Hi, find that a tad unfair, many like me have had no problems with them. I had a free HD, £40 off via Quidco and a £35 18 month contract with 600 mins, unlimited texts which I switched first time using the correct number to 500 texts and unlimited Web. Plus £87.50 cashback which I accept I have yet to get for a few months.
Not saying you can't do better but many sites mess up when you try to buy something. I have no special relationship with them but I did have a faultless transaction with them 2 weeks ago.
Cheers

Actually i just ordered mine from www.buymobilephones.net and I am quite happy with the 12 month contract at 40/month and just 19.99 for the phone with £20 from quidco which has tracked already, over the 12 months it works out at £480. I prefer 12 month contract against 18-24.
I got 700min + 100 txt + 200 landline mins.
saintalan, didn't know one could negotiate a reduction in txts for unlimited internet. How did you do that (what's the correct number you refer to)?
Thanks.
yea i was thinking the same thing
bump !!!
Have a look here, post #41 has the freephone number. No issue at all when I called it.
Sorry to say it but I also had issues with mobile.co.uk They cancelled my order for "quality" reasons and sent me an email telling me this, strangely I never recieved. I wouldn't mind but I am or should I say was a returning customer. Looking around I don't see a non orange network (I get little or no reception with orange anywhere I go) non-carphonewarehouse internet based company offering the touch HD for reasonable money. I am at this point considering abandoning HTC in favour of the blackberry storm due to availability. I had an m2000 for 2 years and an m700 which I love for 18 months. The only reason I am looking at a new phone is the m700's battery is starting to mess about (like all older mobile batteries do) and the recharge connection contacts are starting to wear out of their grooves causing charging issues.
