Where can I get an XDAII ?

I live in the Netherlands. Does anybody know how to get an XDAII? I tried at the O2 online shop but I can't get it done. Since we don't have O2 in Holland anymore it has to be simlock free.

XDA on eBay
Have look here:

Ricardo,
What's the diffrence between the two. I see XDAII and MDA II, diffrence EUR 100.00 ?
I do not read Italian very well. And do not understand how I can buy it directly.
Can you send it to the Netherlands.
Otherwise, Send me an email [email protected]
Regards
Jim

Hi from Italy,
the difference is the OS language, the MDA is in German the XDA is in English.
Ciao

According to a guy here, it comes in English and is branded HTC rather than MDA.

If you go through that thread, a guy in Greece says he cannelled his order on Expansys and ordered from those German guys.
He says he should hav it by tomorrow (tuesday 23 November).
He also said that it was in English and branded as HTC although the picture says T-Mobile.

1) Yes, they have it in stock.
2) No it's a T-mobile branded
3) No the OS is in german and they are waiting for a good flash to flash it in english. They will probably have this flash this week

Yes exactly, the update arrives thursday for english language.

Whats more interesting: The upgrade will (as stated on the expansys forum) be published as download (so you will have to do the "upgrade" yourself.
If anyone gets his/her handon this, please remember to at least post the IntelliPad (aka T9) and Intellidialer CAB files from the ExtROM . . . . .
To get acces to the ExtROM: After a hard reset after doing the initial settings (like calibrating), do a soft-reset (so the customisations wont be run. Voila: Its open. The copy the needed cab's off . . .and post them here
To continue working with the device do another hard-reset and then follow the normal procedure.
Lots of Himalaya users will be very thankful!

I spoke to a guy on their phone lines.
He says they've been expecting them since last week but it hasn't come yet.
Apparently, it's due to shipping issues as the goods have been despatched from Taiwan.

Gotcha. I just ordered one from nowicom.com (MDA Compact in German) and will receive Friday (hopefully). :lol:
I'll let you know when it comes about flashing to English. 8)

This is me. I wasn't logged in.

Hi guys,
First post on this forum but likely not the last one, given that I'm planning to buy a MDA compact asap.
With that in mind, I've a couple of hours to spare in Frankfort airport on Monday:
- Any chance I find a SIM-unlocked version?
- Any chance I find the same with a EN ROM?
- Will the nowicom EN ROM be downloadable by everyone (or will a code be required)?
Belgo

T-Mobile sells them in Netherlands with WWE (English) ROM.
Locked though. Big chance all MDA Compacts are sim-locked as they are subsidised by T-Mobile with a subscritpion (not sold without one)

Edsub,
thanks for the answer but assuming you are right, where are the versions from nowicom coming from then? I thought they were selling Sim-unlocked (but still T-mobile branded).

Hi All,
I found this link on the Expansys forum http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/Products/type/phones/ProductID/5654/NetworkID//I-Mate_JAM.asp
I don't know if it is really in stock but for those that want an iMate on cotract, it might be a good deal.

I'd phone them and make sure it's in stock if I was thinking of buying from them.

Just phoned them.
The guy I spoke with said they had them in stock but that batch has already gone out.
They should have some more by Wednesday.
Not in stock then.

Those guys (phones2udirect) seem a bit slippery to me. Their web site says "in stock" for that item. I called and asked a sales guy about it. He said that they dont have any right now but they hope to get some by the middle or end of this week.
The I asked him why, if that is correct, they show it as "in stock"? After all there must be people who are putting their credit card info on line and being charged, for an item these guys do not have! He then said, "well we are taking orders and then we'll get them an ship them out" SO I said "we'll that's no IN_STOCK, thats ON ORDER", isn't it? He really didn't have much to say after that.
So be careful. They are not honest at all. If you have problems with the phone, it would probably be even worse.

Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true. I am actually waiting for a Jam from Expansys. I don't live in the UK so I have to buy one without contract in my country anyway. I guess the guys that bought from Newcom in Germany still don't have their English language ROMs yet. I think I'll stick with an English imate Jam.
Matt

OK, for those interested in how many units Expansys is receiving, I was told by French Expansys that in total they would be getting 1,000 iMate Jams (for all countries) and the backorder is only 300. It looks like all orders will get filled when the shipment arrives

Universal releases in Germany Sept. 1st!!!

Hey guys just got word that Universal releases in a couple days in Germany. Im going to have my order in, in two weeks. Does anybody know if an unlocked version bought from Germany will work in the USA?

All German MDA Pro's will ship with a German Rom and a QWERTZ keyboard. Not worth buying. Wait for the Imate or Qtek version

Making the device english is not hard.
Itsme has provided all the info i need to make it english
just like did when the xda2 came first in germany.
Can we switch the keyboard layout you think?

german rom to english one?

hello everyone. i hope my question isn't 'off-topic'.can somebody please tell me when there will be an english rom that could substitute the german one provided with the mda vario that comes from t-mobile?the reason is that i would like to change the german rom with the english one,because i do not speak german but i bought the phone from germany where i was the past weekend.thank you all in advance!

German ROM in Vario
I am not sure, but the Qtek 9100 or I-Mate K-Jam ROMs should be pretty much useful for U, if you can get them.
Wher the hell did you buy the MDA vario in Germany? I am living here and I can not get it. When I was trying to order it from T-mobile I was told on the phone, that the units will be available on January 18, 2006 ! C R A Z Y ! !

to all of you asking from where i got it let me tell you that i bought from dusseldorf from a cousin of mine.but from what i know many people got through the net from well known german sites! but what i am asking is if there is an english rom to change the german one?please if someone knows...

Officially no "cousins" :shock: and no well known german sites do sell the Vario in Germany, yet. If you really have it - U R LUCKY!
@ fut. problem: You could also try the US ROM form the US-version of the Vario. Maybe using the miniSD card and the backup software /w "backup/restore All data".

I just bought MDA Vario and have the same problem(((( everything is in dutch PLUS it's sim-locked. ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!

""Officially no "cousins" and no well known german sites do sell the Vario in Germany""
maybe you do not have the right people in the right places if you know what i mean.but still the reason that i wrote this topic is different and you are not helping with your answers. can you help?otherwise let others help those with a question or a problem.as you can see i am not the only one...

Wizard Availability in Hong Kong

Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.
--
I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]
--
I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]
--
If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...
--
Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated...

In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.
you dont need to worry too much.
Eng and chi version are both available in market.
You can get one from any store.
Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.
Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.
Do u need any other information?
Maybe i can get you a hand.

Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference.
Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA

well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )

HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.

since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?

yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor

Just placed my order at expansys hk and they did not accept my credit card [maybe because I am from Manila, Philippines] anyway I would like to ask our Hong Kong brothers and sisters... is the Qtek 9100 available in retail outlets? i.e. Fortress or Wan Chai computer center etc? I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful

bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )
cheers :lol:

thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!

Not always the best place to buy from but Ebay!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/I-Mate-K-Jam-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
425.00 GBP = 5,662.81 HKD
And i know this one is 2nd hand. but always an option

Hi!
@bnycastro: My post has not to do with your problem at all. Did you have the chance to take a look at the dopod 838 "live"? I promise it looks much better than on any picture. I know this since vodafone is selling exactly the same unit here. I found the pictures awful. But as soon as I had my unit in hands I fell in love... So give it a try...
Greetings from Germany

kjam availability
i am from the philippines too. i was able to buy a second hand kjam from greenhills... you should try looking around in that area... you might just find what you are looking for. good luck

how much did you get your unit for? I was hoping to get a brand new one and figured it might be cheaper in hkg. if i'm not to get a cheap one in hk i will probably get from gh as well... may i ask where you bought it? not in the 'tiangge' [bazaar] i hope?

Yep, friend of mine recently bought Dopod 838 Eng, ~$5800HKD. Interestingly they had to open THREE 838's before it worked. the first two failed to boot up.
Make sure you try before you buy!

Wizard
You can find QTEK 9100 at Shenzhen HuaQuangBei at RMB4800.
They already baked Chinese ROM but you can change it to English ROM
after you bought it.
