I saw that the local O2 shop was selling XDA2s for £199 plus data and voice contract, or £299 with data only contract.
Is that the cheapest around?
hi m8,
did you notice how much the contract costs per month???

I don't think there was a restriction on what contract you had to get.
But I've been in 2 other O2 shops since then, they are still doing the old price of £299 for voice and data.
The O2 shop that was selling for £199 is at the lakeside shopping mall.
thanks for that m8...
I was hoping it was nationwide
how do they get away with just one shop selling them at that price????
my local o2 is elling them for £299 and a min £25 per month contract...
Zetex
O2 will price match, so at least you can get it for £250 if you mention that this is what "The Link" sells them for. This was on the £25/month contract, but you can change this after 3 months, e.g. dropping to the £15/month contract so you will still save!
shhh! Its got to be http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/O2_XDA_2.html (if only to price match!). £169 for data+_voice at £30 per month.
ive just got my xda 11 from uplands £169 and £35 a month,that's as cheap as i could find on the 250 tarif
xda price
uplands definitely seems the cheapest around
i got mine for £99 incl vat but that's a line rental of £75 pcm although if you are a big user that's the best value around as it allows a 1000 mins anytime anynetwork, 50 texts and free voicemail. Besides you can change it to any tariff you want after 4 months
i found Carlene Gildea v helpful on 0800 389 3000 ext 319 or 01792 481 319
Airlandata: £199+vat, £13 pcm, "best for business" tariff.
Works for me
The price collapse for the XDA2 seems to have happened a lot quicker than for the XDA1.... does that mean no one is buying?
Strangely the prices are going up on ebay, I think there is a shortage of units or something.
most of the shops in my town did,nt have the xda 2 in stock, about 5 phone shops were waiting for them to come in.the o2 shop had 2 in stock but they were £299 on the 250 tarif
£199.99 in O2 stores nationwide no minimum contract!
Hi all,
Just thought i'd let you all know that the O2 XDA 2 is available nationwide in all O2 stores for £199.99, so long as you take a voice and data tariff.
The voice calling plans start at £15 per month (yes - it really can be this low), and data can be on a pay as you use scheme (known as O2 Data Sense) so there is no monthly charge for data.
With the Data Sense pay as you use scheme the more data you send and receive the cheaper the price per MB becomes.
There are other data tariffs availble which come with an inclusive amount of data, if you want to know more about these, an O2 shop will be able to give you some info.
By the way, as far as i'm aware, the majority of shops have the XDA II in stock at the moment.
Mike
Yep I just got my XDA II for £199 from o2 shop with a £15 a month tariff, I had been holding out for the price drop and just using my XDA.
Can someone please tell me which software/hardware version I should have, are there some older versions still doing the rounds and how do I find the details of mine?
many thanks
rich
My local o2 shop (Hanley shopping centre near Stoke-on-Trent) is also selling for 199.99 with voice and data tariff - the o2 website is still showing 349.99!
just got my xda II 199 pounds + 15 pounds contract
So happy
Can someone confirm this price of £199.99 for the O2 XDA II is correct. I've contacted O2 at Bluewater, Lakeside and they stated that the price was £299.99 - no matter what tariff.
So.....what O2 stores are selling the XDAII at £199.99 ???? :lol:
Cheers

The O2 store in Ilford has them @ £199 on any contract, but not in stock I really wanted to get the XDA II as i currently have an ipaq 5450 + t610 on t-mobile. Uplands seem very sure of their stock availability so i will be calling them today but as i want it on thr £16pm tariff i dont think they will help. I will try to go into O2 store as well, i can check ilford/romford & lakeside and will post findings...
The £199 seem to be in every O2 shop, however, I have been to Stoke, Chester, Manchester and Lancaster and none of them have any stock. The guy in Chester said that there is also no stock in 4 other local stores. Does anyone know where there is some stock in an o2 shop.
p.s. Uplands are not selling it for 199, the cheapest is 269 I think.
Hi,
As far as I was aware, the O2 Shop selling XDAII's at £199 was only for February and they are now back to £299 (the same as O2 Online). No matter what price they are, you will be very lucky to get one.. !!!! I live in Dartford and have called almost every O2 Shop in Kent / Essex and there are none
Rgds,
Rob.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to by an XDAII? And which is better, an O2 XDAII or an IMATE? I see several auctions for O2 XDA II's on EBAY. I would assume I could buy one there and unlock it for T-Mobile..
I'm also leaning more towards O2 because of the announced ROM upgrade to support Blackberry functionality.. I would assume this would hopefully work with T-Mobile as well as the other blackberry devices software seems to be carrier independant.
What country do you live in and do you want contract or not?
That'll help find the best deal.
I got mine in the UK, phone cost £139 on £25 a month O2 contract
U.S. and I currently have a SIM with T-Mobile.
Can you tell me where I can buy the XDA 2 for £ 139 please

They are doing them for GBP139.99 on the O2 250 tariff and above. Check www.carphonewarehouse.co.uk for the latest deals. Their service is pretty good too, the only thing is the damn XDA II is like gold dust in the UK!!! You may have to wait till they get in stock.

sorry i left the cap lock on
any1 know if any o2 shop in london has any exec's in stock?
I got mine on an upgrade - £220 but £10 off my monthly bill. Works out at £100 for the phone over the year.
I did mention it the sales lady that I can get it on a new contract for £140 and she offered the money off the tariff then.
I doubt if they sell at all in shops. I tried Ox street but they didn't have it. I bought mine online. Check if it is in stock before bying online, they don't do PRE-ordering stuff.
cheers

They have plenty.
Just picked one up in Reading today to replace my JASJAR which I am selling.
They said they had 6 in stock.
:arrow: rilot
being one who has been deliberating for the past few days whether to buy the O2 Xda Exec or the JasJar
(as far as I see - the Exec's benefit being its looks and much lower cost Vs the better and more frequent firmware updates of the JasJar) -- could you please share the benefits of your knowledge and experience as to WHY you are replacing one model with the other
thanks
@techdot,
the Exec is £100 cheaper SIM free than the JJ, that's a good reason I think!
techDot
My main reason is that I can sell the JASJAR for approx £550 which pays off my Vodafone contract.
O2 have excellent data bundles such as the one I'm on which is 75MB/month for £18.
Overall, the total cost of ownership is considerably lower with the XDA Exec and an O2 contract in my situation.
Is it cheaper to buy one contract free in SE Asia?....I have contacts in Japan/Thailand/Philipines/China.....
Which country are they manufactured in and where do you think its cheapest to buy them?
In Malaysia, it's about RM4,288 (USD1,135.00) but some shops sell it at a lower price in Lowyat.
might as well get it in the UK - either for a full price i-Mate JasJar (or Qtek 9000 for that matter) or with contracts which would reduce the actual price of the device, and you get calls included....
try to buy it from ebay. I bought my Xda IIi 300 pound ( RM 2100 ) . The local price at here at that time was RM 3888.....
Buy mine! As new. Never left my house. £400 inc. next day delivery in the UK!
Hi,
I got my Dopod 900 for 31,500 Taiwanese dollars
Michael
Firstly I apologise for posting this here :wink:
Just got this as an upgrade but as I already have the Qtek 8310 Smartphone I don't need this. So, in order to get a quick sale and to deliver to you in time before Xmas I'm offering a bargain buy it now price of £250 + £8 delivery (next day Royal Mail Special Delivery). UK only.
See ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6464963189
This has been sold.
