hello.......
i was wondering does any body know when this XDA 2 is meant to be coming out, i know it is "before christmas", but i need a more accurate date, beacuse i really want my XDA now and im not sure whether i should just get the XDA 1 now......any ideas?
also, how much will the XDA 2 be on contract? Any good ideas will be welcome...
Thanks in advanced

hi there, I kind of had the same dilemma, but damn it I've got the XDA now.. :wink:
My guess is that the price will be prohibitively expensive at first, and may not be on contract straight away as a result, so you could be waiting a while, there are some good deals around on the XDA now - are you UK ?
Personally I'm thinking of taking the plunge next year, but I'll be waiting until the XDA2 has been around a while like I did with this.. but then will there be something else around the corner ?
yeah...that makes sense...
i really need it now....mainly beacuse i have a lack of a mobile
i am in the uk yes.....where are the best deals then? any good websites? how much you pay for yours?
i will probably by it on contract from o2........
thanks for your help
jay
no worries mate - glad to help..
yeah same again - I needed a mobile and liked the idea of e-mail, but couldn't quite get my head around that plasticky P800.. If you can stand the ribbing from your mates at first, and get yourself one of the ROMS you have got loads of cool stuff..
As for deals, I got my for 209.99 - Although I'm sure thats going down, I price-matched at CPW from a shop in Guildford who had a deal for 235, somehow they went even lower than the price-match to my delight ! (but I have heard that o2/CPW might be dropping the XDA - making an early release on contract for the XDA2 even less likely)
I have 2 XDA's 1 is mine and I have a spare for sale it is ulocked so can be used on any network it also has the latest ROM and Radio Stack.
If you are interwsted let me know by email or post.
Regards your question I contacted O2 they said middle to late December
or early Jan It has a camera as well as Bluetooth. So I am expecting it to be very expensive.
got my XDA for £190 boxed as new was an ex display model had been dropped and had 2 dents abover the ir lens came with everything.
got it from ebay sim free about 9 months ago :\
You can get an XDA from £59.99 depending on contract from:

Translated to english.......
got mine for £200 off ebay.. boxed and unused
hmm this XDA2 is lookin' pretty good I have to say....
If you go to ebay and search for XDA, you will find a guy selling o2 contract xda phones for £149.
I found out today that the XDA2 will be available in the UK in november there is no idea of price, thay also confirmed that bluetooth is built in and not a add-on option like the WiFi is
XDA II Mini ROM upgrade question
Hi all,
I have a XDA Mini II and am trying to use GoTalkMobile. The software tells me that my GPRS settings are incorrect.
All WAP sites work for me, however I am unable to use this Midilet. Please help!!

Anybody,
Could someone let me know where i can buy an unlocked XDA from here in London. Also, can an XDA be used with any GPRS network? provided you have the correct software installed.
Thanks

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.
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
Does anyone know who is importing the XDA IIi units to the states and selling them? I would like to pick one up. I threw away my XDA IIs because its is junk! :x
I can by them sim free but they are locked to o2 UK

S model
is the S model really that bad? what went wrong with it?
Smiley
the xda2s was the worst thing ever, main problem was the microphone on the device was terrible and people could hardley hear you, and the bluetooth did not work as it should so the headsets did not function properly..
So the XDA2s is ok as long as you not useing it for phone calls

We are a small phone shop and we buy the direct from o2, ready to sell with or without airtime contract.

I've got a 2s and a 2i and I think thats a harsh statement. Everyone has different needs.
The microphone on my 2s is absolutely fine. After a short time with the 2i I still haven't decided which one I'm going to keep. Sure the bt stack is better on the 2i (presumably only until the next 2s rom release) but is that enough to make me give up the keyboard? As a heavy emailer I just don't know if I can go back to all those screen taps with the stylus. The 2s has it faults at the moment but after the novelty of the 2i has worn off a bit I'm kinda leaning back towords the 2s.

You do not sell the XDA IIi SIM free and SIM unlocked? DO you ship outside the UK?
OK sorry it was a bit harsh, Only on most of the XDA2s's that i had the microphone worked but people i talk to alway say it was hard to hear me, as if i had my finger over the mic hole, witch of corse i did not. And with the bluetooth not working correct that made macking quality phone calls not possible.
Yes good point with the keyboard some people like the idea of it being there when you need it, and slid away when not needed, but some of them stated to loosen up badlley after a week or 2 of use
For us being a mobile phone shop and a customer caller us but then is having trouble hearing what we say is no good advert.
I will speak to o2 and seee if i can get some ( very few ) unlocked so i can sell sim free anywhere
i saw a qtek 9090 (xdaIIs) loooks HORRIBLE !! specially when the keyboard sticks out....it has 60% chances of breakin apart when the keyboard sticks out....but still i would go for xdaIIs only if it EVER HAD 1.3 MEGA PIXEL CAM (no probs even if the resolution and image quality is like xdaIIi)
I am reside in US and would like to buy O2 xda IIi as well. Applecom can you please forward me some info on how to get one from your shop. Thanks.
Ok, still no luck as far as finding a new XDA IIi unlocked/simfree. Can anyone point me to anyone selling one, or shipping one to the US.
Thanks,
Mike

I'd take one too!
THe XDA IIi is worth £500 (more sim free)
When I get my stock in, I will be looking around 425 mark. Negotiable.
Thanks,
Imran.
Or just get one from O2 for £384 with full support and warranty.
After 2 failed attempts with an O2 XDA IIs, i'm giving up:
as a phone, it is useless
as a PDA, it hard resets every few days
I've been offered an XDA IIi instead - is it any better?
Dont think twice, smash that piece of crap XDA2s and get the XDA2i
John
Yeah, the XDA IIs is the biggest heap known to mankind. I tossed mine in the furnace. Hey John, you have any simfree XDA IIi's you want to unload? I need one.
Thanks,
Mike
I will tomorow after unlocking put my XDA2s + all the spair bit on ebay, thats going to be fun as if i am honnest in the description no one will buy it.
For sale i have a 4 week old piece of crap called a XDA2s........
I will get a new price for a sim free XDA2i tomorow, they are going down a few pounds tomorow on the 16th
John
ME TOO!
Please. I have my XDAII set up good now, but there are a few glitches and I talked to one guy who said BT worked well and it had a choice of 7 serial ports! I have a BT POS and GPS but I have to use an old IR printer. I would love to use all three at the same fricken TIME.. Man I would love to strangle the MS BT and widcom developers.. Seriously.. I would F*(&@@@( whoop their ass. I wish BT worked like it fricken should!
Seriously, PLEASE, I must have one!

Applecom, any joy on those new XDA2i's mate? How much r u gonna knock em out for and can u get dem sim unlocked?
Cheers
Hhhmm.. yeah guyz! when do you think XDA Exec will be out here in Philippines? Im afraid that it will be delay just like the XDA IIi wich was already released 2 months before it was available here.. Do you think Philippines will have it as soon as o2 releases it?
According to my calculation XDA Exec will cost not more than P60,000.00 Pesos.
dOUbleOfour
XDA Exec in the Philippines
I heard that Globe are using it already within their offices ... but they are planning to release it by christmas .... i'm getting one too and using it stateside ... i heard it's around 60K Philippine Pesos ...
C
I wonder when it gonna reach Singapore
yeah 60k just sounds about right haha
what's the difference of exec by the way
the black color and some additional sw
Huh! 60K is so expensive....
I may go for the SE P990i... sad thing is I have to wait till Q1 next year
on christmas? huh.. sounds cool.. This might be the best gift for my self if i bought one..
o2 is the best among the T-Mobile, Orange, I-Mate, etc for me.
to Yankee
You better stick to exec cuz exec will blast all device available excluding "oqo"
It will probably be launched as DOPOD 900 instead of the Exec... either way, still a great gadget..
Meron na nga ba sa Pinas? how much is it now?
Hope you guys get Exec soon -tip for free access.
I sat in Gloreieta jeans , Manila a month a go with my MDA Pro.
One guy asked me if it was an Exec. I was quite rude and abrupt, a short swift Think so. sorry.
My device was new. And I was trying to do an internet chekin to Singapore airlines site which was frustrating me. Their web site does not seem PDA friendly.
Was hoping to avoid checking in at 5AM as opposed to 7AM.
I never managed it. dis use my MDA PRo on a recent flight from Singapore to London. Worked a dream, sending text for the plane via T-mob web site. Shame I had no VOIP or Skype installed.
Glorietta Jeans seems to have free access for PDA's . I was not prompted for login and connected OK.
I purcxhased some wireless internet time whilst in Manila. Wiz and another.
Will look it out and post details here , hardly used. Someone might as well
use it.
Dissapointed with my MDA, like the large screen but my advice wait for applciations. Opera, A2DP and fax software.
I could not even fax singapore airlines as no fax software works on the Exec.
I prefer my MDA compact which has working fax s/w,A2DP and is a nicer size. Until my MDA PRO ROM is improved

Hmmm.. question.. why'd u take offense from that fellow asking if it was an exec? He probably was in awe of you for having such a wonderful pda phone...
well, was just wondering...
Offense.
I was not offended just abrupt in my reply.
Had had a long bad day and was stressed , been shopping with wife,daughter all day and trying to do an internet checkin with a company who's site was not working well and running out of time/against the clock.
If I had managed to check in for my flight, I could have relaxed and shown him my PDA.
AS it was I went to a reacl cybercafe around the corner, used a real PC and the web site was still not working.
