Hi people,
I want to swop my current xda for an xda mk2 and was just wondering if anyone knew a good way of doing this - I Emailed o2 coustomer support and they said that they weren't operating a trade in at the moment but to check back later. However, i'm impatient ;-). Is there anyone whos traded an xda in with a high street shop or will my best bet to be sell it on ebay? On a sort of related point, has anyone found the cheapest site to buy a new xda2 (with contract, want around a £20-£25 a month one)? The best i've found seems to be;
http://www.e2save.com/e2001/php/matrix/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2
on O2 Leisure Time Plus + 100 SMS.
For reference for trade in etc, my XDA is the 64mb version with the latest official o2 ROM, unlocked thanks to the unlock utility from this very site, Good condition (natural wear and tear, marks around the infra red port but still works fine), still got box+manuals+cd+cradle+charger+leather case but not the headset (broke). Comes sim free (still got 1 onth left on 12month min. contract, but willing just to pay that).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark
You would be better to sell it, but make it quick as Ebay is getting flooded with them. Or you could offer it for sale here on the forum, how much you hoping to get for it?
i sold mine 2 weeks ago, as soon as i heard the news that it was available from 1 november in my neighbour country germany, and got one 1 week ago. sold for 250 € and bought one for € 650
Well with the keyboard i was hoping to get around £200 or so. Need that much to make it worthwile to upgrade or I may as well stick with the XDA1.
Decided to put it on Ebay now rather than risk leaving it and the site becoming flooded - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2766011342 if anyones interested
I just sold my xda privately, I got £160 with all the origanal stuff and it looked quiet well looked after, when it's unlocked the "pay as you go" people cant resist the prospect of an unusual phone away from the usual boring nokias, and since my brand new xdaII was only 150 on a £45 p/m contract I`ve got one of the most cutting edge mobiles on the planet, and made a tenner
Hi!,
Can someone tell the best website to buy a Sd card ?
Should be 512 mb or greater, and have a good response in velocity
It's to be used in a Qtek S100/Magitian
Im' from Portugal, so shipment costs are relevant
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Miguel Cunha
You can have a look at this site:
http://www.tweakers.net/pricewatch/cat/48/top
It is a dutch pricewatch with many dutch shops, but also many internet shops.
I bought my high-speed 1GB SD card from Amazon.co.uk and it cost £63, which is equivalent to about €90. The brand is Bytestor and it works perfectly so far.
On Ebay...Guy in new york sells 1gig sd for about £38 and £9ish to ship.
Takes 3 - 5 days and fully guaranteed
bakerk ...
How much in USD or EUR ? I'm from Portugal, so.. maybe that person doesn't ship to portugal ... i have to look better in ebay...
Thanks
I'd recommend that you are very careful about buying on eBay...
I bought my first 1GB SD card from a person on eBay. The card he sent from the US was NOT the same as the card he was advertising on eBay. He claims it was the same but the speed rating was different. Customer service was non-existant and he didn't care that he sent me a different card brand. His card took 4 weeks to arrive.
This is why my second purchase was from Amazon. It was slightly more expensive but it was much quicker and I knew it was going to be correct.
Maybe I was unlucky with eBay but the very cheapest isn't always the best. :?
Good luck

This is NOT the guy I had problems with. (My guy was called Sarafatl.)
However, the guy I used had a feedback rating of 99.7% from over 100,000 trades. I thought I'd be safe. Two weeks after I received my card he disappeared from eBay. User account closed.
Compared with trading with someone like Amazon, who have a reputation to protect, eBay may be slightly cheaper but not cheap enough to compensate for the worry of using someone completely unknown, IMHO.
I ordered from sarafatl because he was selling the specific brand of card that someone in these forums had recommended (Kingmax) but that wasn't the brand of card I received. He said he'd run out of stock. I have no idea whether the card he sent was as good as the (recommended) Kingmax.
Bought mine off ebay. Lexar 1 GB, paid $65 including shipping to Norway from the US.
Always had good experience shopping off ebay, as long as you stick to the power sellers you should be ok...

Hi all,
Figure I'd start a little topic that hopefully isn't a dupe.
I'm just wondering how much you all paid for your devices, and where/when you bought them?
I've only had my Wizard a few days - I got it 2nd hand from a company that were upgrading all their employees phones. ~£40 (~$80) is the price I paid (xe.com if you wanna convert that into euros etc!) which I thought was a great price for such a fun bit of kit. There are a lot of scratches/dents on the case and the left softkey doesn't work but apart from that it's running perfecto!
I've upgraded the IPL/SPL to 3.08, flashed it with TNT WM6 and set up VoIP calling. I'm awaiting an SD card before I play around any further.
So how much did you pay for yours?
Thinking of selling this little Wizard - interested?!
Well, I just got mine 3 days ago. Got it from a Pawn Shop for a cool 20USD! The whole stipulation was that the battery didnt hold a charge, so I went to my local battery store and bought a 20USD battery and it works like a champ! The other stipulation was that it COULD NOT be unlocked to anyone other than Cingular(seeing as its a Cingular 8125).....bbbuuutttt, I can home and used the lokwiz tool and voila! Unlocked Wizard!!! So for 40USD, I dont think that I did too bad!;P
Got mine brand new for about £80 off egay.
Got a 2GB SD card off Play.com for about £12.

Cool deal!
Also to mention I got mine boxed with all the original accessories & a leather case which adds to the overall value-for-money. All in all I'm very pleased!
Hoping my SD card arrives tomorrow as I'm craving installing and messing about with some new apps
Got my VPA Compact II from a friend in Germany for 100€ with 2Gb card.
MaX
Sniped mine of eBay yesterday... £55 p&p for...
unlocked XDA Mini S in Original Box (with the usual: charger, spare stylus, USB sync cord, instructions etc...)
1gb SD card (said 1gb in auction, arrived with 2gb )
GPS reciever
TomTom 5+6
leather? case
can't wait for it to arrive
i got mine free from cingluar... i had the treo 680... and i traded it in the 8125....
got it first when it came out $300 dollars plus serivce. almost 2.5 years later still using it. Best phone i've had thus far.
Mine was free on a contract - UK T-mobile £22.50 a month with unlimited web and walk. I'm 12 months into an 18 month contract - despite unlocking it and flashing with WM6 I'm kind of tired of the phone now - it's a bit clunky and ugly compared with what's out there now. Don't think I'll get a phone with a built in keyboard again as I hardly ever use it.
Mind you I've dropped the flipping thing about 6 times this week and it's still going strong
Got mine when it was new about two years ago for $399, including a 1GB card, car charger, and a bluetooth headset. I've been nothing but happy with it.
i paid US$450 for it from cingular, that was almost 2 years ago
20 bux
i got mine from a friend downgrading to the iphone for 20 bux and some free guitar lessons almost a year ago
i paid 40 for mine
Mine was $300. I got it two years ago.
Paid $95 for mine off eBay almost two years ago to the day. Some guy was trying to
upgrade the radio and couldn't get it going again. The thing was brand new. After reading
on this forum for a couple of days, put it in bootloader mode, reloaded the software and
still going strong. I had thought to sell it back to the guy (they were going for about $400
at the time i think)
i paid $170 for my 8125 (used but it looks new). i am plaining to get the 8925(cause this one has GPS built in)
Paid £35 on Ebay - just got the phone (in nice condition - hardly a scratch) with a single stylus, no charger or any accessories. I have a HTC Artemis (T-Mobile MDA Compact III) as well, the charger from that works fine, so no worries.
Main problem was that the dork who sold it me, , had not unlocked/reset the phone so I could not initially get it going. A quick search led me to you guys and I quickly found the instructions on resetting it - works a treat now, have since picked up a 2GB SD cad from SVP for £7.50, so now have a cracking phone/PDA for less than £50.

i just wonder that ? how do you get that price? can you show me some little trick 2 bid on ebay . thanks
Got mine as an upgrade on O2 about 19 months ago for £49.95.
After 4 years with a fully modded siemens sx1, decided to change to something different. Bought mine on ebay for 70 euros..
I am looking to buy an x7501...I have a Tilt currently (with a bunch of extras, 4gb card, 2gb, bluetooth headset H700, tomtom, coreplayer...), I noticed on Ebay I could get about 400-500 for all that, and they are selling x7501's for that...well, anyone interested, or just whant to sell, let me know...oh, by the way, you can look on ebay at the going rates, I saw some douchbage offering his for 750 used, come on, really?
Anyhow, let me know....
I have no idea what you are talking about I've looked on ebay and these are not going for anywhere near what you are claiming post some links to ones that are actually selling for this much if you're gonna make a crazy claim like this.
Maybe he meant £400 - £500?
I bought my X7501 used on ebay for $550 including shipping, a couple of months ago. I did see one going for about $300-400 but it was broken and being sold as is for parts.
You got a bargain! well done.
Thanks confucious. I was really lucky that day, as i just knew somebody was gonna snipe my bid at the last second. But to my surprise, nobody did. Unfortunately the average price is up around $650-$750 these days.
I stand corrected...slightly
I only did a quick search, not a thourough analysis of the long term trend of the value of the x7501 over the past month...However, now that the 7510 is released, there value is sure to drop...either way, 400-500 is an understatement....

If you can get one for that price then go ahead! Let us know what you do pay.
Good luck.
Got my x7501 for about $670.00 shipped (just over a month ago) in pristine condition (box was a bit dinged up but the unit is great. Most of the units then were about $800.00 + on ebay.

Yeah lets try to get top price for our old phones and buy the next model up for free any douchbage want to trade.
I have a P3300 with tomtom garmin and route 66 opera netfront resco radio and 4gb card and extra original battery ive seen them for $300-400 with acessories. Want to trade i might consider some money on top i need an Advantage no software reqired or memory or charger just the phone.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get some advise.
I just bought a Tytn II and am now going to sell my T-Mobile Vario II. I was wondering what sort of price I should be looking for one now-a-days.
It's got the original box, but no warranty. I can put my hands-free kit in from my Tytn II as I really don't need it.
I've got the original charger and a USB sync/charge cable are easy to add.
I can also throw in my Tytn II's case. I don't need that either.
It's in near pristine condition. I got it in about April after sending my first one back to T-Mobile for repair. They replaced it instead. However, on the corner is a small, but very obvious scuff which I plan on showing when selling it.
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on what sort of price you would expect to pay for this phone if you was buying it so I can get a rough idea of what to expect.
I'll be putting the Official T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6 on the device and it is unlocked.
i reckon £130, but saying that the official wm6 and unlocked aswell wouldcrank it up if u put it on ebay. dont seel for less than 130 though.
Thanks for your reply.
That kind of price is actually quite a bit above what I was thinking. I was looking at more about £70. Especially considering the scuff on the corner is quite visible with the device being grey and red.
It's not damage which will effect the device in any way shape or form, but it is clearly visible. That's it's only downside.
I'd look at the prices on ebay... On Aussie ebay most Hermes sell for around $200Aud. This is my observation for about 2 months... Watch how they sell on ebay for a week then decide how to go about this.
Most people tend to bid in the last few hours and I've seen a Jasjam go from $55 to almost $300Aud in the course of 20 mins.
I don't know how it is on UK ebay but my advice is watch and learn.
Cheers...

Good advice.
I'd say as well (having sold a couple of phones on ebay) decent descriptions and pictures add more than you would expect to the price, so spend a bit of time writing some decent text and describing the functions in detail.
May as well watch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 - it's a similarly replaced Vario II so should give you an idea of what it will go for, once it completes.
Good luck!

i only paid a £100 for mine 12 months ago and that was virtually new, a midwife had got it on contract and then found it far too complicated to use. £130+ to me is way off the mark. I have tried to buy a few on ebay and they generally sell from £70-£100 depending on the condition , accessories included etc.
PM me with a price as a friend wants one , if you dont want to use ebay. Or if you do pm me the link
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 Someone is taking the piss on the bidding with that one its at a £155 with two days to go, i think someone is pulling his leg.
average price for one if these is about a £100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£110
http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/25809225.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/23/26155423.html <---£75
Thanks for the suggestions,
The item linked by Marsbar is going for a really high price.
To be honest, I think I'll put it on there for £70 with full pictures of it up and working then let it run for 7 days.
I just sold a Samsung Tocco on there (free upgrade from Orange) for £200 on a buy it now. That was done within hours. I think the Tytn could fetch quite a bit more than I anticipated.
