unless it's stolen or broken it is highly unlikely to get you such a place, XDA II has been just out on the market .... the price might drop during 2003 so you need to either:
- wait unless the price drop to acceptable level
- get a broken XDA II and try to repair it assuming you have skills to do it
- other

hints:
1. vast majority of products have been introduced firstly in USA and Asia, and only then they hit other markets ...
2. you might expect much quicker price drop in USA and Asia, as compared to Europe (not only due to a/m point 1) ... so if I were you I would stick to those regions

O2 and HTC I'd imagine
on another note.... I hope to hell its not the same price as the original XDA was when it first came out.
I dont care what anyone says... nothing of that spec is worth £500 !!!!
<hopes O2 are reading>
If they released it for what the XDA is selling for (£300 w/ contract?) then I'd definetly go for it but not much above...
I wonder how much they will sell the XDA for when the XDAII comes out?
I hope they will sell olso for outsite ... like Italy.
...and unlooked device... cause if else, we must discover how
to unlook the XDA II like first XDA.
Denis
stop selling
I bet that they stop selling the xda original. After all What extra revenue can they get from it? The new XDA II will have MMS because of the integrated camera. This is what sll the providers want. They make money from sms, gprs, mms, voice etc. That is what they are really after.
Wait and see what package they get together. £50 p/m. inclusive minutes, data, sms, mms etc... This is how they make their money...

a phone where the company sells it cheaper along with a subscription are almost certain to be simlocked
I'm quite happy to stick with their contract for a year if it means I'm getting 200 notes off the phone lol :lol:

Yeah thats 6-700 pounds UK.
Trouble is... they probably will sell it for that price with a contract on top of that !!!
Bummer - coz I'm really enjoying my XDA at the moment (got it for 150 pounds second hand) and would love the extra power. Have thought aboput going for a Toshiba e750 and a bluetooth phone - bummer on the pockets... but what else to do eh...
We'll have to sit tight and wait I guess....
What are the chances of being able to buy the base unit from HTC (without paying for the software) and *ahem* flash it with an XDA-developers ROM - or has that never been an option ??

The XDA have not yet entry in Italy ...
I'm curious if the XDA II will be disponible to buy in Italy ... else i'll must buy another time from O2 UK.
Who will buy form me ???

i think i will wait until they reduce the price of the xda. at least i won't be a beta tester :wink:
regarding your question, HTC doesn't sell units to end customers. you'll only get original unflashed units, if you buy a few thousand pieces and put your own logo on it :wink:
The thing is that o2 had an agreement with the manufacturer to have some exclusivity in UK and possibly Germany for the original XDA. This is why T-Mobile have not been able to sell the MDA in UK for last two years. When there is no competition, o2 can afford to charge 300 pound +
However, the xdaII will have competition with the MDAII, the same device, but T-Mobile have got around the exclusivity issue. Hence the prices will reflect competition.
Found today an article in the internet professionell magazine. They are writing, that the XDA II will have a price of 399 Euro and will be released about one month before the mda II will do.
But they also write, that the mda II will be released at the end of october.
Question is just in which year.... :lol:

I currently have an XDA I (Siemens SX56 AT&T) and would like to get an XDA II (unlocked) as soon as they're sold by a reliable US source. FYI, I called AT&T Tech support and they said an unlocked phone should work great, just swap the SIM chip over from my XDA I.
It looked like Phone4Devs would be a good source, but they went out of business. The other sources (below) I've found are mostly overseas and pretty expensive.

I'm sure I'm like many of you who would like to pay less than the $850-1,000 + Unknown Custom Charges, that overseas sources are asking.
There are many versions of the HTC Himalaya phone out there (qTek 2020, O2 XDA II, i-mate XDA II). It looks like the i-mate and qTek are the best for the US. Any feedback?
Let's see if we can find a good supplier in the US !!!
Thanks.
www.expansys.us
Use this link for USA marketed iMate or O2 XDA II. Sales tax charged in Illinois only.
XDA II Prices before Shipping
Benshop - US$905
Compume - US$830
Club i-Mate - $850
4Cellular - US$990
Mobilefly - US$880
PPCW-net - US$846
Expansys.us - US$833
I converted to USD where necessary and all are BEFORE shipping. Compume (Australia) and Expansys (World-wide) seem interesting.
and how about eBay ???
has anyone considered that option to acquire a/m XDA II ???

monika
Ordered an iMat XDA2
Gave up on Expansys.us. Ordered a iMtae XDA2 unit from PPCW.net (Arne). On route, looking forward to it.
Still trying to sell my existing XDA1 though, pass the word

cshields1,
I understand what you mean because I am currently waiting on Expansys.us too. When you get your phone please let us know of your over all experience with PPCW.net and also how the warranty or technical support is handle for the phone. I understand Expansys.us will play the middle man if you have an issue with phone during your warranty period (which is good considering we are in the US).
Just wanted to ask you chaps where was the best place to sell my XDA2 and what it's likely to be worth. It's a few months old - bought it the day it was released but my circumstances have drastically changed and I am now office bound for most of the day, every day!
I have not had it unlocked yet but that's about 5 seconds work with the XDA Deveopers utility.
Also, how do I get out of the O2 contract paying the bare minimum ?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi m8, i'll give you £350 for it, Ronnie ([email protected])
2nd user XDA2
O2 shops are doing deal for £330 no contract. Carphonewarehouse will match. Therefore I'd suggest somewhere in the range £250 - £300
look on ebay for guide.
mrg2003, where have you seen the XDA 2 for £330 no contract ?
What stores ? My local o2 stores say they dont sell them without a contract ?
If you could let me know please, a friend of mine wants one.
TIA
is the XDA II still for sale or does anybody know where the best deals are either contract or sim free
sorry chaps !
XDA2 sold long time ago - just been away for a while !!
btw sold for £450.
£350 sale is an urban myth !

I am thinking about selling my MDAII. I got it through a employees arrangement at T-Mobile in the netherlands.
But I am wondering how much anyone is willing to offer for it!
Is there anyone interested?
I am but you need to put a value to it, also do you have/could you get the official MDA II carkit??
I haven't got the carkit. I do have: the MDAII, cradle, charger, activeSync software, leather protection case. It's only two weeks old.
I am wondering how much anyone would offer for it, so I can decide if i want to sell it or not.

I'm not interested myself as I already have a XDA II.
But I think you can ask around 550 - 600 euro for it if it's simunlocked.

MDA II Value
I saw on T-Mobile site Netherlands the MDA II is 139 Euro. I assume that is the price for the handset with a 1 year contract.
I do not know what the value of a 1 year contract with T-Mobile in the Netherlands is worth, but I was tempted to see how much it was and if they would ship to the US.
I also called T-Mobile US and they said they have no idea when or if they would carry MDA IIs over here.
I assume that even if it is locked it can be unlocked. I know I am doing a lot of assuming.
I guess you need to figure out how much 139 Euro + 1 year contract is worth.
MDA II
just go to Ebay.co.uk and check out the prices on there, the XDA II are going from anywhere between 350 and 600 pounds and thats brand new sim unlocked, I bought mine off there for 450 pounds, I imagine the MDA would go for the same.
Okay, thanks for your advice. Is anyone from the Netherlands interested in buying my unlocked device for 550 euros?
Hi.. I am going to Singapore next month and going to buy XDA II mini.
Is there anyone here live at Singapore can recommend where I can buy XDA II mini with the best price ?
How much is it ?
Thank you
at this pt, rp at S$1168, it is bundled with a 256MB SD. This is cash sale, if you are using credit, they will charge you more, about 2-3%. As you are a foreign, GST can be claimed back at 5%. Hope this helps.

mini xda II now is $860
but not in Singapore.
SIN $860 ???
Where to buy ??? info, pliss... via pm also fine..
How to claim the 5% GST ?
Thank you
Noway you can get at S$860, best case with line for 2 years at ~S$1K. I have seen the $860 is in US dollars.
The GST/VAT claim is quite straight forward, ask the shop and they will help you filled up the claim form but you must bring you passport.
At funan, you can get instant refund at the information counter but the caveat here is that you need to show the customs at airport that you are bring the goods out and they will stamp your form.
