Where to buy an O2 XDA ATOM? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

Hi guys im after an O2 Atom or HP version of it, can some one recommend a website (besides fromebay) that I can buy this from?
Thanks

Well, there aren't really that many places that will ship to the UK, and provide a really good price for an Atom.
I was hoping to get mine from expansys, but, I ended up buying of ebay.
Although I did, I got it for the cheapest price, brand new shipped from Japan, and had it within 5 days of purchase.
It comes with the full O2 warranty too, which was a plus, and I've had no problems with my Atom since I got it.

Is this phone sim locked? What cost would be good to buy from Ebay!

Hi guys,

Cradle & Battery for Atom
Hi socialworkersmith,
Spare battery for Atom is available, however, first time to hear cradle for Atom - is that official item from O2 or just 3rd party stuff?

By the way, there is a WHITE version of Atom available - Atom PURE.

I'm in Hong Kong rite now....went to Mongkok the other nite, and saw the myraid of handphones from everywhere...yup, and the WHITE Atom (otherwise officially named as Atom PURE) is in town.
I believe the functionality is the same as the original ATOM, just colour wise, it is pure gleaming white.
Is USD760 from those shops in Mongkok? Heard most items selling there are parallel imports, stolen or 2nd-hand. So buyers beware.

Hi henrylim,
Go to big chain store like Fortess, Broadway, CSL, PCCW, etc. The normal price range is now HK$5,600-5,900.
As always, do pay special attention if the selling price is significantly & suspiciously lower than normal range - that is true anywhere in the world.

Hi henrylim,
Go to big chain store like Fortess, Broadway, CSL, PCCW, etc. The normal price range is now HK$5,600-5,900, absolutely trust-worthful!!
As always, we have to pay special attention if selling price is significantly & suspiciously lower than normal range - either you are smart enough or others are smarter than you...... normally, it is the latter case :wink:

I bought mine together with a Kingston 1 GB flash card at US$ 750 in HK, in that large computer store... you know where it is, don't you?

thank you, i will have a look
i have recently (last month) bought 2 unlocked pdas from totalpda. the service etc is very good but be aware that the items are not new. they are refurbished models. my ones are fine, although you can tell they have been used. also you dont get the handsfree kit or the cd-rom that normally comes with it.
if you do get one from them, DO NOT do the OS upgrade suggested by o2 as this will greatly interfere with any other service providers settings. which is the problem i have now!
thank you kindly for that sound advice. it's definately made me think twice, especially the fact that they are not new.
Hi
Give these guys a call teleford telecom or something like that
01772 880880
gto mine from there about 3 weeks ago, £225 (32meg).
i think that the units are new, but come with charge cables instead of cradles.
get the impression that they have them in stock on a time to time basis.
worth a try though.
again thank you Mr R J Webb for the advice, i am so glad this XDA forum exits its a wealth of information. great idea by the developers. i will keep you posted on the results of my call to teleford telecom, thanks.
thank you, i called Preston Telecom (i think) they were very helpful, but as you said their stock has been deplenished. again they are not new but from the descrition they may as well be. thanks again for the advice.
Try ebay uk
Hi
I bought mine from ebay UK from a guy who has contract with upgrade with O2 but doesn't need the phone and it was new. I had to use the xda manipulator to unlock the phone for use with vodaphone which I am using. There are quite a few guys selling new xda sets for about £200 for the 32m version and £300 for the 64 mb version. I got mine for £290(in April 03) but it should be worth less now (maybe £250 to £300). You do not need to pay exorbitant price for a new one and you got to make sure the guy selling the phone is not a cheat. So far all my purchases with ebay UK is quite safe and you could use a escrow service (intermediate service for a small fee which holds your money until the goods is delivered in good order before paying the seller) for added precaution. There is also a company in ebay UK selling the new 64mb xda for £149 (previously £199 only 3/4weeks ago) with a contract with O2.
thanks for the advice i am familiar with ebay, its an ok market place, but tend to be secondhand. i think i am going to go for the option buying a new one with O2 and unlocking it myself, thanks anyway.

Wizard Availability in Hong Kong

Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.
--
I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]
--
I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]
--
If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...
--
Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated...
In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.
you dont need to worry too much.
Eng and chi version are both available in market.
You can get one from any store.
Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.
Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.
Do u need any other information?
Maybe i can get you a hand.
Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference.
Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA

well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )

HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.

since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?
yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor
Just placed my order at expansys hk and they did not accept my credit card [maybe because I am from Manila, Philippines] anyway I would like to ask our Hong Kong brothers and sisters... is the Qtek 9100 available in retail outlets? i.e. Fortress or Wan Chai computer center etc? I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful

bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )
cheers :lol:
thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!
Not always the best place to buy from but Ebay!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/I-Mate-K-Jam-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
425.00 GBP = 5,662.81 HKD
And i know this one is 2nd hand. but always an option
Hi!
@bnycastro: My post has not to do with your problem at all. Did you have the chance to take a look at the dopod 838 "live"? I promise it looks much better than on any picture. I know this since vodafone is selling exactly the same unit here. I found the pictures awful. But as soon as I had my unit in hands I fell in love... So give it a try...
Greetings from Germany

kjam availability
i am from the philippines too. i was able to buy a second hand kjam from greenhills... you should try looking around in that area... you might just find what you are looking for. good luck
how much did you get your unit for? I was hoping to get a brand new one and figured it might be cheaper in hkg. if i'm not to get a cheap one in hk i will probably get from gh as well... may i ask where you bought it? not in the 'tiangge' [bazaar] i hope?

Yep, friend of mine recently bought Dopod 838 Eng, ~$5800HKD. Interestingly they had to open THREE 838's before it worked. the first two failed to boot up.
Make sure you try before you buy!

3 Atom's for sale! Unlocked

Hey Guys ( And girls ),
I have 3 new Atom's for sale, All in original pack. including everything, unlocked, All of them come with a warranty, and i bought them in HK.
Best price you will ever find :
560 US$ per Unit.
I live in Israel- shipping will be from Israel.
Contact me if you are ineterested.
I can accept all major credit cards through my store, and PayPal.
and how I can find you after I make the paymant? :?:
I Have a ...
Store..and ill give you all the details you ask for.
If general market is selling Brand New Atom at least USD650, why would you like to sell at big under-cut of USD560??
Would that be your warehouse cost is such expensive that you have to sell those devices out immediately??
Or other reasons??
Very simple...
The phone is starting to be provided both by Orange Israel and Cellcom Israel, at a lower price ( about 500$ ), under a contract of 3 years.
So as simple as that, if i do not sell them now, i may be not not be able to sell them at all.
Thanks
not very convincing:
you are targeting to sell Atom to oversea, therefore an upcoming price-cutting locally in Israel won't force you to cut price deep.
It seems..
Like you're s salesman, Why dont you provide me with a suggestion then ? Huh ?
I am just a man who hate people selling "2nd hand" under the cover of "New".
Full Stop
Try ebay.
Anyway, atom at US$560 isn't cheap on eBay
(I think, compare to Charmer). They are selling much cheaper.

tytn in US

Hi guys,
Heading to NY over the break. Was wondering if someone could suggest a few shops where i may be able to pickup the tytn for cheap. Also if i bring the tytn back to the Uk will i have problems getting a charger etc for it ?
Thanks in advance
TyTN's here come with a universal power supply (2 round prongs) & a US adaptor. I don't think you'll have any problems finding a UK adaptor for it.
Any shops you can recommend that sell it for cheap ?

funny thing, i have the opposite problem, i bought a tytn on ebay for 310 BP (603 USD), and i have to find a US adaptor for it..!!
I am not sure of the currnet prices in NYC but i know in Canada the price is closer to 800USD...
Safe travels,

Try these places:
DataVis (Midtown on 5th & 38th)
http://www.datavis.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=466867&prmenbr=2000
*Instore prices are sometimes higher than thier website.
J&R (Downtown across from City Hall on Park Row, just off Broadway)
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4132416
-Lee
thanks guys
J&R has the Tytn. Price without contract was $799 when I checked a couple of months ago.
I would seriously avoid buying anything from DataVis (I don't think they carry the Tytn anyway) - they only return for store credit, and can be quite obnoxious.
There's also another New York-based company selling the Tytn (Mobile City Online - http://www.mobilecityonline.com), but I don't have any experience with them. They're selling the Tytn for $739.99.

Now I am looking at expansys UK but it is good to get a few more alternative for comparision purpose.

Theres no tax for you also, so you can exclude vat
packing yea was good. Water proof sealed bag with bubble wrapped around the x7510 box.
I suggest you buy if from the uk if you live in Malaysia since the Americans like to mod their phones for them to work in their country plus don't you use 240 voltage?
i got mine straight off UK online retailers

Would you mind share which UK retailer?
there are many, 2 of which are trust worthy
expansys,
and
devicewire
Here is a list of OFFICIAL HTC RETAILERS in the UK (select UK): http://www.htc.com/europe/where_to_buy.aspx
As you can see CLOVE Technology is in there (that's where I bought mine delivered to the US via DHL)
DEVICEWIRE is in there too.
Stay away from EXPANSYS and ONTHEGOSOLUTIONS. Why? Because they are OVER PRICED. Their service is just as good as any of the listed from above. Nothing different.
Thanks for all suggestion. Now I am more keen to get it from clove.

I bought from Inkino.
However, in the end I did not buy X7510 but instead choose to purchase used Dopod U1000 from local owner at very good price I think. Its only £275 but with almost new condition with remaining 4 month warranty from HTC. I could not see any scratch whatsoever The previous owner seem like not using it at all. It comes with 2GB memory card, VGA out cable & car holder as well. I am a very happy of to own this unit.
