Any news yet about locking XDA 11? Many thanks
Please, xda-developers, can you do on it the same as for the xda 1 ????
When my XDA II was bought in London, I was told by O2 , that I'll get my unlock code for 15 £ , and now , they said no !!!!! :twisted: Crazy ... :roll:
If I can't get this code, I'll have to BUY a phone ...
So, HELP ? please ....S.O.S...
I contacted Dixons at Heathrow, where I bought mine and they gave me the number! This was done yesterday! You could try calling there. Obviously they have dealt with this situation a number of times... O2 are a bunch of idiots. I called them at least 5 times only to get a negative answer and without any advice...
Good Luck!
XDA2 Unlocking
Thanks for this!. I also have tried 02 several times but have not been as lucky as others on the Forum - yes, they really are a confused bunch. As I am moving to Spain next week I need to unlock soon to hook up to Vodafone in Spain. WIll try Dixons - fingers crossed...!
Sadly Dixons won't play ball and neither will o2! :-(
Does anyone know any real information on this...
I've got a 2 on an o2 staff accounts package, and I called eagerly on Monday to arrange for a new 2i to be sent to me. I was told "no, sorry it will be launched tomorrow. Please call back then". So, I did and when I rang the first time "no sorry I don't think we're going to have them on Staff Accounts". I rang again "they're not on our pricelist at the moment for Feb, but it might be updated later in the day. Call back then". I did, to be told "probably won't be doing 2i's on SAccounts, but maybe will be later in the month so keep trying".
I was told at one point that if I go into an o2 shop with an o2 employee with their EIN and ask for one there, I might have some joy. I decided to ring the o2 shop in York but depite trying 3 - 4 times for over 2 mins I didn't get an answer.
Can anyone tell me what the situation is, what they've heard on the gripevine etc? I'm getting a bit sick of this as I was really looking forward to upgrading.
Cheers
Anthony
My girlfriend works for o2 and got told she can buy one XDA IIi non-locked for £160 as a staff deal she doesnt want one.... but I do
I did manage to get one through SA last week and so it's sorted, for £179.99....
...unfortunately the idiots then decided to reduce the o2 online shop price to exactly the same amount. Sooooo.....the staff discount and upgrade from XDA2 benefit would be what???
I've complained to the lovely people at SA regarding this as it's just not on...especially considering I had to wait nearly 2 weeks to order through them in the first place.
Cheers
Anthony

I work for O2 in the Hertford store. I want a Xda IIi but didn't realise there was a staff deal, like when the Xda II was offered at £150 SIM free when it was released.
Could you ask your girlfriend to email me with the details, please? My work address is [email protected]
Regards,
Ben
Could you please mail details me too? [email protected]
First Post so be gentle
I have just got off the phone to O2 techie guys who have told me that O2 have no plans on releasing the mini here in the UK.
He had a list of new handsets and that was not on it....he even did a bit of research for me and phoned me back.
I know you can get it as jam, mda etc but I wanted an O2 branded phone with a new contract - I have my reasons.
Is there going to be a new one with wifi built in that they are waiting for?????
Anyone know any gossip - or can correct me on the release???
hi there,
i emailed o2 uk and they told me that they couldnt tell me when or if it is going to be released. but did state to keep checking there website so it looks like it will be released but they are keeping quiet for some reason???
Uplands seem to think it's going to be released:
http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/XDA_2_MINI.html
"The launch date is expected to be this quarter and we will post a precise date, as soon as it is released."
as far as i know. O2 are no longer going to release the device on O2 instead they will release the MDA IV (don't know the o2 name) in the summer apparently. this is from one of their employees in the croydon shop. he seemed knowledgable so i'm inclined to believe him, anyway, i got mine from T-mobile so it really doesnt matter to me....
buy it here in Indonesia, and get a contract there.. haha..
cheers!

what're your reasons?
Hi,
after a phonecall with a guy from O2 Hotline, I asked about the planned release of the Universal. He told me, that there is actually no release planned after they just released XDA III and the Mini.
Maybe anyone can confirm or better disprove this information...
Cheers Arnd
I'm guessing this is complete b***ocks...
I rang UK O2's Staff Accounts 2 days before the 2i was released to get it ordered, only to be told that the 2i didn't exist and I "must be talking about the 2s"
:roll:

Arnd, I would try an O2 store to see what they say. Sometimes the physical locations and Customer Care have differing information.
Hi All,
I am an O2 customer in the UK and as they were the original company to bring the XDA concept to us, why have they chosen to not release the XDA Trion in the UK? I am well aware it is out in Germany but why not here? Have they got too many XDA Mini S units in stock or what?
If anyone can shed some light on this, please do, what have they kept up their sleeve? Is there something better on the way already?
I look forward to your comments and thanks for the feedback.
I just had a call from o2 for business following my email to them of when they expected the Trion to be released in the UK, and the rep said that there were no plans to release it in the UK at all.
So, how are they going to compete with T mobile who not only are going to release it over here, but also have a great data tariff in Flext with web n walk?
Orange, who are already offering it, and vodafone who already have it apparently!
I have been with O2 since the Genie days, and have been reasonably happy with them up until recently. Probably round the time they were bought out.
Bizarre!
They didn't do the XDA Neo either. :roll:
Maybe they have something better up their sleeves?
Well Voda and T-Mobile has HSDPA but O2 don't so perhaps this the reason why. However it does seem a bit odd given the amount of effort O2 made over the XDA Exec.
O2 tend to have a yearly lifecycle on their XDA's whereas the other SP's tend to release as and when. Bearing this in mind and the fact that the Mini S and Exec have only been out for 8 and 9 months respectively, I wouldn't expect to see a new device from O2 until November/December.
Interesting point on the product life cycle. I have heard that O2 are seriously looking at releasing the HP Ipaq 6915, so maybe that is why they have steered clear of the Trion for now. Also I do not like the look of the HTC TyTn or the Vodafone V1605 compared with the Orange SPV M3100 and Trion. The button configuration on the latter two is more pleasing to the eye. So if I want one I have to go for the "ugly" one as I have a great deal from O2!!! I wish we could get the Dopod 838 pro here, subsidised on contract!!!
I just had an interesting conversation with O2 business regarding the release of the XDA Trion in the UK.
First person I spoke to told me that the Trion was not on the 15 week schedule of new phones releases so it definately wouldn't be released in that time.
So I phoned a different number at O2 and was told that the Trion is expected sometime late August or September??!!! I told the man what I had previously been told by the other rep and he says that is rubbish and that the unit is currently being tested by the testing unit prior to it's UK release!
So it seems the phone is coming to the UK...but I bet if I call a third person at O2 they will tell me something completely different...*sigh*
Why dont these people sing from the same hymnsheet?
Anyone heard any different news on the Trion's UK release date (if ever?)??
Al
You are right there. They have no idea what they are doing. Someone I spoke to said it is for America only. I said O2 have a network in America, she says yes, not checked, but I didn't think so. I said so why is out in Germany? You must be mistaken sir, must be.
I asked about HSDPA, and they checked with network services who said it is not being released by O2 as it offers very little extra bandwidth over 3G. I said I think you should ask them to check that.
I am on such a stonking tariff, I do not want leave O2, so here's hopeing the Trion turns up, otherwise I will have to conisder the P990i.
Yes Sunnychad, they dont have a clue. I really want this phone and am on a mission to find out the truth about UK release or not. See what you can find out at your end too.
Al
I spoke to someone in retentions about leaving as I wanted to move to a network that has the equivalent of the Trion and is offering HSDPA too. She put me on hold after telling me I was a select customer etc. Came back to say it is on the cards but there is no confirmed release date as the Trion is still in testing etc. I said OK. She then said there is something else coming called the O2 Jet. I am also aware that O2 are releasing the HP HW6915.
Also just found this link. I wonder what this handset is.

This is an O2 xda Atom Exec:
http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaAtomExec/template/Product.vm
It is manufactured by Quanta, not HTC:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Atom_Exec
I think you are mistaken.
There are pictures of 2 phones, one is referred to as New XDA and has a camera on the front panel, therefore 3G.
The other is of the XDA Atom Exec in a state of disrepair. Have another look and let me have you thoughts.
Thanks

oh! you're right, haven't noticed the camara on first picture before.
don't know which one is it :?
Thanks Sunnychad. Both the O2 Jet and Atom Exec are not phones I'd want. Desperate to have th O2 Trion, just love it's look and feel and want to stay with O2. Please can you keep me posted regarding anything you hear about it's UK release?
Thanks
Al :wink:
Email just recieved....
I've just recieved an email from O2 re. the release of the Tytn, doesn't look good....
"Thank you for your email.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I can confirm that the Xda Trion is not going to be released in the UK, this device is to be sold overseas only. I can only apologise for the mis-leading information provided by customer services, the device as you have stated has been released in Germany, although I am also unsure if it has been released anywhere else. There will be future PPC / WM devices in the future, however as yet we are unable to ascertain what these devices will be and also when they will be released.
My apologies we cannot assist further, however If you have any further problems, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

But are we to believe this latest reponse when the tesing team are actually 'testing' the Trion for the UK now?
Wouldn't take too much from that. You know, I think we just have to wait and see as O2 can't give us anything solid to go by.
Al
O2 UK are not releasing the Trion.
Dave, I don't think anyone can comment about it's release for sure as I've been told by the media dept. at O2 that they are testing the unit for general release in the UK. Also Ive been told by a shop (unbelievable I know) that it is to be released. As well as being told completely conflicting info by other sources.
We'll see.
