Best way of upgrading/swapping XDA for XDAII??

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

Best way to get a Hermes cheap!!!

Guys, I'd like to know how you all go about getting your Hermes and how much you pay for it.
Since I live in a country where is costs like $1000 for the Hermes, I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting it for cheap like it is in the US and UK.
I tried asking a few of my friends in the states to pick up one of the cingular connections which offers an 8525 along with a 2 year contract for about $400, but that would mean they have to get an extra connection.
I've noticed that there are a lot of people who sell these kind of phones on ebay which have been unlocked for around the same price.
Is there anybody you guys would recommend? or is there any other way I can go about getting the 8525 or equivalent for around $400 Brand new.
Hope yu guys can help out ASAP. My friend in the US leaves in another 2 weeks. It has to reach him by then.
Thanks and Regards
Lee

Check you PMs

if you're using fido, i'm guessing you're in canada
some local cell phone places can get the hermes relatively for about 700CAD or so, usually the softbank japanese version
you could check craigslist for your area
e.g. vancouver.craigslist.org
see if you can search HTC or Cingular 8525
i'm lucky i got mine from ebay locally though
under 450CAD brand new

@Taurus... Check ur PMS
Anybody else?

Here in HK....a new Softbank unlock with latest Dopod ROM is only USD 380....

Something that is Brand New and doesn't cross $400 to 500?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ah, the gansta stronghold, as we call it.

Thanks guys...
@ $5 x 24 = $120.00... Really? The only other place I saw that kind of a price was on Amazon where an 8528 was going for about $125.00 with a 2 year Voice and Data Plan from Cingular which at it's cheapest would cost you around $80.00 a month.
Hope somebody else can point me out to a good deal. I'd prefer the M3100. Like our Mr. Activ Moderator pof pointed out... it's looks neat

Yes it's true, around $120... but it's a two year contract. In total the monthly fee is $25 including only 12250 packets and free calls from 1am to 9pm inside the softbank network...

SoftNank in China
I got my SoftBank Hermes 200 phone in China for US$450 unlocked with English ROM.

Managed to find what looks like a decent seller on eBay.
Let's see how it goes. Brand New 8525 for around 450.00

Check this out.

You can shop online thru here. Based in HK.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the link. I'm trying to avoid the X01's. Looks like this one works up to about USD 550.

I got my Cingy 8525 from Craigslist (SF Bay area) for $400 about 4 month ago

Best Sim-free Deal for HD?

I'd like to move to the HD now from my Kaiser but still have 6 mths of contract with T-mobile left. I am therefore looking at buying a Sim-free HD and selling my Kaiser and accessories.
I have found the HD at £478 at http://www.superetrader.co.uk/htc-touch-hd-uk-black-sim-free-pda-phone-p-3659.html
Has anyone seen a better deal? I have seen the cheaper deals on E-bay but I am not convinced many of them would have any warranty come back - especially the ones that are Orange badged...
Thanks

How much do you think HTC Blackstone is worth?

The only thing that is keeping me from selling this blackstone is the potential of an android rom and my parents might not let me sell it. I’m 16 and got it 2nd hand but it’s in a fairly good condition.
I’ve searched around and it looks like I can get around £90 for the phone, do any of you want to buy it or know anyone who does? Also I’ve flashed it to an energy rom so if I was to sell it would I have to change it back to original windows rom!
Wish htc built blackstone with android not windows!

This might not help you any, but last night I discovered that NewEgg.com is now offering credit if you trade in electronics. They listed my HD as $144 USD. Considering how much I shop from their site I'm highly tempted!
My poor HD has been sitting in a drawer talking with dust bunnies since I got a Captivate. Must be lonely in there.

[Q] How much would a used HTC HD2 sell for now?

Hey folks,
I believe it's time for me to part with my beloved HTC HD2. I was wondering if you all can help me price my device. I've checked around ebay, and it seems to be in the range of $150-$200. I was offered $150 on craiglist, but I'm not sure if I should bite. My ad has been up for over a week and it's the first offer made for it. It's so hard to give this up. :/ Thanks in advance!

150 is about right for selling a full working used HD2 that has very little scratches/blemishes. It all depends on condition.
Unless you have a mint HD2 and have everything, including the accessories and the box, then you might have a chance of selling at ~200, but anything above that is pretty much a ripoff.
