Unlocked XDAII SIM free for £572.81

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=106055&asource=

For those of us in the US here is a link to Expansys in the good old USA. They have them unlocked for $782.44. I think I will be ordering one tonite.
http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=106055&sbadd=106055

How do you know this is unlocked? The Expansys page doesn't say that... just that it is the phone only. So it could be for existing O2 customers that don't want to sign a new contract.

The uk site states:
"Handset Only Price: £572.81 (487.50 exc.)
With O2 Connection: £337.81 (287.50 exc.)
Note: This phone is available handset only (SIM free) and unlocked, you can use your existing SIM from Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone or O2. If you require a connection with this phone, add the phone and one of the Enliven Connections below to the shopping basket."
Whilst the US site states:
"Handset Only Price: $782.44
Initially this device will be available on contract to O2 only."

OK, so I'm still confused. I've sent them an email asking for a straight answer. It is possible to be off contact, but still locked.

I just called Expansys and cancelled my order for the O2 XDA 2. The one they are selling right now IS SIM LOCKED. Meaning you can only use it with an O2 SIM card.
And since it doesn't appear that anyone knows how to unlock them right now, I cancelled.
They did say that they hope to be able to offer a SIM Free version within a month or two.

If its a month or 2 why not just get the qtek 2020 which is cheaper and bound to be unlocked

If that's a different branding name of the XDA 2, MDA 2, HTC Himalaya Pocket PC Phone Edition...
then show me where to order one and have it delivered to the US!

http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=108269&asource=
There we go

Ah! Nice!
That's probably the one they were referring to as hopefully having them in stock within a month... as it says there:
Availability: Estimated 21 Days
I can't wait that long.
Eh, I'll order it anyway.
Edit: Oh wait, that one only has 64MB RAM... no wonder it's cheaper.

You can buy the UN-LOCKED version which is completely sealed from here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3057618685
PayPal is excepted as a method of payment - you can also read the feedback from people who have already purchased the unit from me.
Regards.

Sold!
Am I going to need a USA style AC adapter? I wonder if the one for the iPAQs will work.

i thought all XDA 2s have 64mb ram :| even though they say 128.
32mb is for the CPU
32mb ROM
64MB RAM
work it out peeps lol.
gaz

The device has 128MByte RAM, 32 MB flash ROM (internal to the Xscale CPU...) for the Operating System, and 32 MB on a "disk-on-chip". 14.5 MB out of these 32MB are available to the user as non-volatile '\Storage'.
...In other words 32Mb ROM + 32Mb ROM + 128Mb RAM

oh ok then lol my bad :S

memory upgrade for jam to 128mb

The guys over at Pocketpctechs have done it again/ already.
They're offering a replacement of 128mb for the current 64mb in our jams. 199.00 (not too bad) So for those of us who feel a little constrained by stepping down from a 128mb pocketpc phone or xda II. This might be the fastest most reasonable option.
Just when I thought Christmas was over :shock:
Here' the Link http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=JAM-064-128RAM

I-Mate Jam with 128mb ROM.

Did anyone notice this updated jam coming out at the end of September? The specs says it has 128mb of RAM and ROM. This one could definitely support WM5. Why else would they release this thing if not to offer an upgrade? I have been reading this forum all week and I have been trying to decide what variation of the Magician I want to get. I think I may just hold out for this one.

thx for link dublin
but not integrated Wi-Fi again

Already available here in Dubai. The color is a dark shade instead of the normal white one. Looks good. I am still happy with my Big Storage Hack. Wonder if it will work there as well?

it is the same (i think) as th QTEK S110, which I got this week in the UK. Really good, though havig a little problem with charging.....

The S110 only has 64mb of Rom. It does have the 128mb of Ram, but that's not good enough for an upgrade to WM5. You have to have the larger Rom for that. The S110 is no different from a regular S100 that has had a memory upgrade. It's the Rom that makes this one unique.

You can get a normal I-Mate Jam through expansys (UK) which has been modded by PPCTECHs and has 128MB of RAM. Only £524 without contract
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119052

Is this for real or are expansys just testing the water? It says 128Mb in a few places but also 64Mb in the detailed text.
Looks like they cut and pasted some text from the original Jam advert

On the expansys Hong Kong website, it says "64MB ROM and 128MB RAM".
I believe it was a typo on the UK web.

That's perfectly true. Since Windows Mobile now resists in the persistent storage, more RAM is of no benefit. Quite the contrary, more RAM is of benefit more for Windows 2003 SE than for Windows Mobile 5.

I started looking around myself and found some of their sites say 128 rom and some say 64. Makes you wonder which one is true. It's probably the 64 rom, 128 ram. I got all excited there for a few minutes, but I would guess this is more likely the actual config. Oh well, I'll just keep dreaming.

New trinity with 500MHz?

Not sure if this is true but i have read it on an aussie board where apparently someone has spoken to Dopod Australia (also read it somewhere else too):
"I have confirmed with Dopod Australia that they are in the testing phase of the new Dopod D810x which will have a 500Mhz processor and increased RAM. They are looking at releasing the unit in a couple of months time."
Strange they would be doing this, why not go to a whole new model?
can anyone confirm this?
I still wont swap mine until i can get one with an fm radio...... unless i can suck someone into buying this one for the same price i can get the new one for!! haha

Confirmed
Dopod D810X (Dopod D810 eXtreme)
CPU Samsung 500 MHz , Rom 256 MB , Ram 64 MB , GPS Qualcomm , WM6 Pro
(Launch by Dopod Asia in this June)

Is this the Kaiser, maybe?

If this is true then it explains why Dopod doesn't want to release a WM6 upgrade for the D810 until after the new D810X model is released.

HD2 - Tmobile UK vs US Version Comparisons Thread

Had been following the various happenings related to HD2... among other things ....
- The fact that Microsoft states that WP7 does not run on the machine when it actually has the horsepower to do so ....
- The fact that all HD2's out there had a hidden amount of RAM
- The probability that HD2's HAVE a TV-Out after all (chipset indeed supports it)
- The other not so pleasing fact that i got my Touch HD nicked a couple of weeks ago
All led me to buy another HD .... But I soon realised that I ran into a dilemma ....
I purchased (still on the way) .... an HD2 on T mobile UK but I ran into the assumption that T mobile US and UK supply the same specs on the HD2.....
As far as the Tmobile US is concerned - This HD2 , is:
- 122mm long (unlike the regular HD2 which is 120mm long)
- Has 1GB ROM
- Has 512 MB of RAM
- Has Headset included
- Has 16GB microSD included
- Has Gel Case included
On the other hand ... Tmobile UK has no specs whatsoever on the site ...it says however that
- it is 121mm long (which makes me hope that it is the 122mm version)
- Has limited several video streaming apps (can be easily rectified)
- 1Gb or 512MB ROM size (can it be unlocked on all HD2's like RAM?)
- 448MB or 512MB RAM size (can be rectified thanks to custom ROM)
- Has or has not a headset?
- Has or has not a MicroSD card?
- Has or Has not a leather pouch?
I understand that there might have been bundle upgrades as far as Tmobile UK is concerned but I would like to create this thread (with the help of this great community) to clear out any confusion for people out there seeking an HD2 .....
First of all I was unable to find whether or not the ROM size could unlocked in a similar fashion to how RAM size.... At this point I don't even know whether all T mobile HD2's come with 1GB of ROM ....
What's more is that now I realised that there is a T8585 HD2. I reckon that the T8585 version is the 120mm standard HD2 and a T9193 HD2 is the one which is slightly longer.... but yet again I got to confirm this.
So I am hereby inviting all T mobile US / UK HD2 owners to share their knowledge / experience
Many Thanks

The T-Mobile UK is the same as the euro models... it is a T8585. The T-Mo US model is the only one that's different size and has the 1gb ROM. All other models have 512mb. You cannot unlock more ROM. The T9193 is the australian version with different radio bands... other than that, it is the same size as the euro/UK models and has same RAM/ROM. Also, the T8585 and T9183 are 120.5mm to be exact, while the US model is 122mm.

But...
This would mean that ... if WP7 will use 1GB ROM, it would be impossible to place it on Euro HD2's. Am I correct in stating this?
Besides what proof is there that the ROM cannot be unlocked just like the RAM? What is that extra mm on the US version housing underneath the hood?

Cotulla found out the rom chip models used in the Euro and the US versions and they are different. The US models uses a 1gb chip, the euro/uk/aus models use a 512mb chip. Besides, if it could be unlocked, I'm sure they would have discovered it by now. Other than that, I don't think theres any dfference in the models, so I don't know why they made the US model bigger. Some say it was to fit the T-mobile logo, but that doesn't make much sense. But they are always making phone different sizes for different carriers and countries, even when the insides are the same. I remember there was like 3 different looking touchpros for different carriers.
Also, they are not making an official upgrade to wp7, but I'm sure the unofficial one will work on both the 512mb and 1gb models. I believe most developers on it are using 512mb models, so I wouldn't worry about that. I don't see the extra rom being a big deal. I would gladly trade my US hd2 for an austrlian T9193 model so I could use at&t's 3g service.

Thanks so far....

So Let me understand you right, just for clarity's sake:
T8585 - EURO Version - 120.5mm long / 512ROM / 576RAM
T9193 - AUSSIE Version - 120.5mm long/ 512ROM / 576RAM/Differing Radio bands
Txxxx - US Version - 122,, long / 1GB ROM / 576RAM / NO 3G?
I reckon that that 1mm extra is nothing but some form of identification to recognise the 1GB model straightaway. Is there a way to put an OS in a some High Speed Micro SD card and boot another OS from it? Cos that would solve the issue of small Rom chips....
I also was in doubt because there were some 'leaked' specs which showed the forthcoming T mobile UK with the 1GB ROM and the 512MB RAM and also the 16GB Sd Card
At this point it would be helpful if the Tmobile UK people, speak up a bit ...Would be helpful if you state whether its UK or US and WHEN you bought this mobile and what was bundled with it. Anyone from UK ?

Let me guess .... Colour of box was Green on the inside with a white sliding cover on the outside?
Also just for kicks ... could you tell us if they are T8585's and also specify the ROM and RAM size?
As I said earlier T mobile uk seems to be bundling the improved HD2 with the 1GB Rom and the 16GB SD Card ... clearly this isn't your version ... cos of the SD CARD that came with it ....
Some time before there were bundles coming out of T Mobile with no pocket / no stylus and no Sd Card as well... but this dates back to November 09 if I am not mistaken.

if thats the case then im taking mine back!

im having a problem determining which model i have? any ideas? been searching the last 10 mins with no luck

It needs to be confirmed as yet ... You'll have to wait for an official package description on T mob UK site before taking yours back....!
But if you take a quick look at T mobile uk's site ... you will instantly realise that as far as specs are concerned .... there is no ram or rom mentioned.....
This is because they "quietly but brilliantly" changing onto the 1GB Rom model ?
Mine is still in the mail so I cannot confirm with you as yet.... but will let you know as soon as I get it unlocked ....

Hi,
I've never heard of any service provider who has ever provided a stylus with the HD2. All the news we were hearing about the T-Mobile US release led me to believe that T-Mobile UK were delivering the standard european device and the US model was just for the US. T-Mobile UK don't seem to go into specification details on their web site but the device has the normal white european buttons so if there was additional internal storage that would mean yet another model (and T-Mobile make no reference to this fact). They certainly don't appear to state anything about "bundling the improved HD2..." They don't appear to me offering an SD card according to their UK site either.

ok....

Simple ... you got to go into the system information ... check how much ROM and how much RAM you have ....
Also if you tell us what came with it, and when you bought it, it would help as well....
Most probably its a T8585 as someone else kindly pointed out earlier on....

Erm if you see a previous post which I had up there .... I said exactly what you said ...
- T mobile specifications are very vague....
- They would not tell you if its improved or not because it would cause havoc for those customers who just acquired the phone ....
- Thirdly it is clear that the initial bundle came with NO Sd card, then they started putting in a 2 GB MicroSd .... now there is talk about this 16Gb version hitting the streets in due course...
Just wanted to confirm if this is true maybe through somebody who just got one .....
As far as the stylus is concerned you are right ... but it is available as an option from HTC ...

I haven't heard of T-mobile UK offering updated hd2s. The US T-mo does offer 3g, by the way, but on the 1700/2100 band, which isn't used by many other carriers except t-mo US. I mentioned the australian T9193 because it uses the same 850 band that at&t uses in the US, which has much better coverage than t-mobile US. Thats why I would prefer that model and at&t as a carrier... but it costs $800 to import one, compared to the $200 I paid for the T-Mo US HD2 with contract.
Anyways, for T-Mo UK to offer the 1gb rom hd2s, it would mean a completely new model for htc to make with the UK bands, so I see it unlikely they would do this for a phone thats been out for almost 6 months already. I think you will get a 512mb rom phone with T-Mo UK if they haven't stated otherwise. They would probably make a big deal if they were upgrading it and we would have heard about it.

Well that would be still good to know ... As long as WP7 still will run on 512MB I will be more than glad with the HD2
Anyways if anyone can recommend me a company which provides a factory unlock code via IMEI for T-Mo Uk HD2 it would be great if you p.m me. I've heard that I could do it for free through some existing T mobile client but I don't know anyone So thanks for clarifications

When they get a WP7 port working, I'm sure it will work with all the hd2s, as most of the good developers who would work on it will have the 512mb rom ones. The 1gb rom hd2s are limited to one country, while the rest of the world use 512mb roms.
