WOW
Well, guys, stop searching for the ideal pda phone: it is right here, the XDA II. Just one regret: no integrated GPS.
They say the price will be around $850

Just one regret ? - I'd say *ouch* - that sting in the wallet is a pretty big regret !
That's about 600 pounds UK - a Dell Axim X5 costs about 250 pounds and comes with a Compact Flash II adaptor as well.... (SD has to be the *least* reliable flash card)..... it's a shame......
Looks like my next handheld will be a bluetooth one with a bluetooth phone..... *sigh*

Honestly, Fuzzyman, I don't think that the price is high (assuming that the $850 is right). This is the price of the device with no contract. With a contract, it will be much cheaper. Just remember that the "official" price of the XDA with no contract when it was first released was £900 !
The MDA Compact is beng sold for 419€ as against the earlier price of 426€
would that be for worldwide delivery or europe?
OR do you need a subsribtion with a provider like Tmobile or soe?
I know a frenchman can buy in france an imode phone for 50? !

I think the price is for a SIM free MDA Compact which is open to all networks.
They delivered to me in the UK but I'm not sure about outside Europe.
You can buy one in France for 50€? Is that with a subscription/contract?
that is with a contract. i just bought a mda compact (magican) for 28 EUR inkl. a eplus time & more 500 contract from mobilejoker.de.
mobile joker is a waste of time
Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those jokjers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

What was total price including delivery, and what did you think of it, as opposed to buying an english i-mate in the UK? Any downsides?

It was about £380 including delivery for the MDA and an 1GB SD card. I preferred that because it'd have cost me £411 for the Imate Jam alone from Expansys.
The only downside is that you have to install the English ROM yourself.
I am going to eat my words
OK, my wife took my Imate, and I went on mobilejoker.de, and yes, delivered in the UK it costs in the 480 Euros, or in the 340GBP range, 50GBP less than Amazon dearest. So sorry for basjing your mobileJoker,
Humbly

Just ordered a german imate jam from mobilejoker - was having a problem when it was being translated on the fly through babelfish, but translated all relevant sections manuallu and it worked fine.
£317 including cash on delivery via UPS. And (I hope) including VAT - the vat figure (translated as "contains value added tax") appears AFTER the Sum Total for some reason.
Can't beat that price - I trust that accurate info from UPS will be delivered to me via a tracking number or whatever, so that I can be in when it's being delivered?
How do you get 317GBP
They charge 50 Euros delivery, + a hidden 15 Euro payment fee (UPS) . How much was yours in Euros out the door??
because if you add back 17%, it comes to 370GBP?
Also, did they not provide a tracking number?

Well they charged me 40€ and not 50€ for delivery. The COD charge is not hidden either.
The phone price does inclide VAT. They don't add VAT to the price.
It would seem that it is now possibe to get an English MDA Compact (not Imate Jam) cheaper than Mobilejoker.
If you get it on this contract, after paying all line rental for 12 months, it'll come to £265

Mikey,
Don't think that you have to pay them in Euros. I thought I would and most exchangers in the UK don't do it at the most favourable rate so I was gonna need £400 for my 544 Euros.
UPS will accept pounds. I wasn't home when they came but my flatmate tells me that the delivery man does some calculation (presumabley using the day's exchage rate) and gives you the pound value. I paid just over £380 for my 544€ purchase.
From www.xe.com it looks like you'll be paying just over £330. I also tells me that using this minute's rate, I'd have paid £374.
You're a genius!
Just ordered it, just as you said, 265GBP, glogged off my XDA2 for 180GBP, and got a spare sim!!! What a joke!

My invoice, sitting in front of me, for my MDA to be delivered to the UK, via UPS, COD. The items are as follows, in this order:
Delivery - 27 Euro
COD - 16 Euro
Total Price - 462 Euro
Includes VAT of 63.72 Euro.
Weird that they have the VAT figure AFTER the total, but it translates as "contains value added tax" or similar, so it looks like the 462 euro price is all in.
Not sure why you're adding back UK vat, and not sure what hidden charge you're speaking of...
mikey and 27, you guys on scancoms payroll?
No! Dude cancel your order though
Read the posts i did for Amazon, this is the second unti I buy, my wife took my imate, I was looking for the cheapest, and these Scancom guys make me laugh. I got the phone DELIVERED for GBP260. + 100 minutes per month sim =guest sim to lend to visitors. The reason why we are getting this is t-mobile quite rightly believe these phones encourage dtat tarrifs...oh sh*t. i hope it's not locked..ahhh! go to go

Hpe not - Last time I checked, t-mobiles data tariffs were terrible. I can't see anything equivalent to Orange World Access bundles of 4, 8, 25, 80, 400 and 1000Mb.
My preference is the 10Mb per month one for 80p per megabyte, Excellent value.

Glad I could help after last week's fierce debate!
I think it's a 1 year warranty with the Scancom deal but that's alright. 2 year warranties for electronics are now part of German consumer law apparently.
Thanks, but I'm worried now
It may be sim locked??? Ouch
What's the cheapest price I can get this for on Pay As You Go or SIM free?
what is "this"?
If you know where to get "this" cheap, I am looking to get "that" cheaply also.

Prices vary, but your best bet (if you don't want or have £675 + to spend on a new JasJar) is to look on Ebay. Some bids are starting at £300.00! But expect the reserve price to be above £500. Having said that, MDA Pro (T-mobile) are knocking them out on contract quite reasonably priced, which means that some JasJar owners might be letting theirs go soon for less than £600.00, but I wouldn't hold your breath!
Once you've got one of these babys, chances are there's no turning back. They seriously Rock! 8)
The Dutch MDA Pro can be bought for about 800 euros, it is a WWE device. Only minor detail: simlocked to T-Mobile Netherlands, but some rumours say that when you buy a contract-free device, you only have to fax them your invoice to get the unlock code for free. I have however not tested this myself, so no guarantees for that!
I got mine (assuming we are talking about the HTC Universal - I my case an imate JasJar) from expansys.com
I went for the £75 per month package which, due to the 50% line rental offer, is only £37.50 per month for a THOUSAND free minutes (on vodafone). This brought the price of the phone down to £117ish......
Hope that helps!
PS -
1 I'm in the UK
2 the 50% line rental offer is only for 6 months, but I rang them to check and you can change your tariff after 6 months
3 The worst thing (no problem for me) is that the contract length is EIGHTEEN months.....
4 Here is a link http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=126341[url]
Is the price going to be reduced soon or shall I proceed with my online purchase??

Well...
That depends, if you don´t care about the $ g for it!
But if you want to pay less wait 1 month and sure you´ll find it a better $
Good luck,
same
i agree, if u really want this phone buy it or if u have alot of patients wait for little while (same like me )
Actually I don't believe it will get a LOT cheaper. Maybe some 50 Euro but not more. Mtel sells it in Bulgaria to new or Club customers (more than 6 months on the network) for roughly 560 Euro incl. VAT. Knowing their business practices and also knowing that they don't have the habit to subsidize phones I guess that they got it from HTC at around 500 Euro.
before experia1 was more expensive, but now it seem its price drop down leaving HD the expensive one.
hello
i see galaxy s2 and the price 420 euro ?
is this good price or i wait
Price
Hi,
here in germany you can get the S2 for 407 € + delivery.
But i think your price is not too bad.

You could find this out by looking on mobile phone sites & ebay etc, and comparing prices yourself...
thank you
i will buy it
Make sure check because that could be the price if you get a contract on the phone. I got mine without a contract in greece during my vacation for €550= about $750
In Romania with no contract is about 500 EUR. I am going to buy mine with prolongation of my existing contract of 20 EUR at 350 EUR.

I've seen some decent deals on eBay. Just buy from a seller with a strong positive rep...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I bought mine on eBay UK for £410 4/5 months ago, ive noticed it has stayed true enough to it's value it hasn't dropped by that much given the quality your getting im not surprised.
I was contemplating getting it for free or cheap on another long contract but im glad i didn't, never again...
