O2 XDA II vs T-Mobile MDA II

I need some opinions. I'm currently using a mobile phone on a t-mobile network. I want a XDA II, but, it will mean ditching my current t-mobile contract and starting with O2. Is this right?
Can I not get a T-Mobile MDA II instead and continue the T-mobile contract? Are they the same? Are they even available here in the UK
I have only ever seen the MDA II being sold in Germany. So does it only work there.
Help me out, please.

check forums for xda2 codes you should be able to make it network free
all networks but keep it to your self we are getting 250 uk pounds to open them to all networks

Smiffy, the phone can be unlocked for free thanks to the guys that run this site, just download xda2unlock, all you need is usb cable or cradle, it is a very simple process and at the end of it you will have the unlock code, all xda2/mda2 are triband so will work in UK.

Xda exec with or without simlock?

Hey guys,
i've checked most of the forums, but it's still not clear whether the XDA Exec comes locked to o2, or unlocked?

Unlocked to other UK networks. Possibly unlocked to international networks too, but nobody has confirmed this yet.

The problem is that i want to use it with a non-UK simcard.
Nobody can confirm, please?

Smartphones that work on the Three Network (UK)

Hi,
I just recently moved from Orange to Three. However, my beloved unlocked Wizard does work with the Three network.
So, can anyone provide me with a list of Windows Mobile smartphones that work on the Three network? I'm confused at the moment..
What about the TYTN or unlocked versions from T-mobile and Vodaphone?
An unlocked version of the XDA orbit?
Please share your experiences of which smartphones work best for you on 3!
Cheers

Ahh well that changes things ....
Could find someone in the US or UK to call TMO for you (works best if you tell them you bought the phone outright and are not a TMO customer)..
There are several on "Google" that say they unlock remotely for 20 to 40 $$ ..
Maybe someone here knows of a free one, but I don't , sorry ..

No free codes that i know of. There are threads on here that give links to sites they have used with success just search

Is the phone locked to VIP Serbia?

No it is UK T-Mobile locked.

[Q] Locked, branded, exclusive, rooted and such.

Alright. I've been searching the FAQs and forums and would like someone(s) to set me straight on the following:
1. The Dell Steak is currently being sold in the UK direct from Dell _unlocked_ and also via O2 on or off contract. The _unlocked_ version is not just sim free but can be used on any GSM network that the UK version supports (T-Mobile UK, e.g.). True or False? If true, out-of-the-box (OOB), rooted and special ROM, or SmartSim?
2. If this is true what is this O2 exclusive deal with Dell and which phones are they 'blacklisting' if someone tries to use a SmartSim or similar?
3. If T-Mobile in the UK and US use the same frequencies, would an unlocked Streak from the UK work on T-Mobile in the US with a US sim?
4. If AT&T is the exclusive carrier in the US when it is released, then does anyone really expect Dell to sell an unlocked version? Aren't we really planning on seeing just a contract/no contract price for the same version?
Sorry if that's a lot for a single post, but it all seems related and didn't make sense to split up.

The phones that 02 sell are LOCKED and will not be unlocked by them in the near Future. It will work with a Rebel Sim on any network in the UK so i am told.
The ones from Dell are UNLOCKED and can run on any Sim in the UK
Now i have not read of any one from the US getting a Unlocked streak from the UK and using it it in the US
They have just started selling them in France and Germany locked, not sure about unlocked
I have trawled through the Internet and have not come across a UK one working in the USA

Direct from Dell Streaks are SIM free and unlocked out of the box, mine works fine on T-Mobile UK.
O2's exclusive deal was for a limited period and expired at the beginning of July I believe.
T-Mobile UK and US operate on different bands, specifically the US requires the 1700 band for downstream data.
I believe Dell US had a pre-order page on their website which suggests they will be available unlocked from launch there. Probably because they will only work on AT&T's network for 3G its probably not worth them going to the trouble of an exclusive deal.

Thanks
Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully the tags will help others find the same answers.

In France they are unlocked
