The MDA Compact is beng sold for 419€ as against the earlier price of 426€
would that be for worldwide delivery or europe?
OR do you need a subsribtion with a provider like Tmobile or soe?

I think the price is for a SIM free MDA Compact which is open to all networks.
They delivered to me in the UK but I'm not sure about outside Europe.
You can buy one in France for 50€? Is that with a subscription/contract?
that is with a contract. i just bought a mda compact (magican) for 28 EUR inkl. a eplus time & more 500 contract from mobilejoker.de.
mobile joker is a waste of time
Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those jokjers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

I'm sure that's without a contract.

What was total price including delivery, and what did you think of it, as opposed to buying an english i-mate in the UK? Any downsides?

It was about £380 including delivery for the MDA and an 1GB SD card. I preferred that because it'd have cost me £411 for the Imate Jam alone from Expansys.
The only downside is that you have to install the English ROM yourself.
I am going to eat my words
OK, my wife took my Imate, and I went on mobilejoker.de, and yes, delivered in the UK it costs in the 480 Euros, or in the 340GBP range, 50GBP less than Amazon dearest. So sorry for basjing your mobileJoker,
Humbly

Just ordered a german imate jam from mobilejoker - was having a problem when it was being translated on the fly through babelfish, but translated all relevant sections manuallu and it worked fine.
£317 including cash on delivery via UPS. And (I hope) including VAT - the vat figure (translated as "contains value added tax") appears AFTER the Sum Total for some reason.
Can't beat that price - I trust that accurate info from UPS will be delivered to me via a tracking number or whatever, so that I can be in when it's being delivered?
How do you get 317GBP
They charge 50 Euros delivery, + a hidden 15 Euro payment fee (UPS) . How much was yours in Euros out the door??
because if you add back 17%, it comes to 370GBP?
Also, did they not provide a tracking number?

Well they charged me 40€ and not 50€ for delivery. The COD charge is not hidden either.
The phone price does inclide VAT. They don't add VAT to the price.
It would seem that it is now possibe to get an English MDA Compact (not Imate Jam) cheaper than Mobilejoker.
If you get it on this contract, after paying all line rental for 12 months, it'll come to £265

Mikey,
Don't think that you have to pay them in Euros. I thought I would and most exchangers in the UK don't do it at the most favourable rate so I was gonna need £400 for my 544 Euros.
UPS will accept pounds. I wasn't home when they came but my flatmate tells me that the delivery man does some calculation (presumabley using the day's exchage rate) and gives you the pound value. I paid just over £380 for my 544€ purchase.
From www.xe.com it looks like you'll be paying just over £330. I also tells me that using this minute's rate, I'd have paid £374.
You're a genius!
Just ordered it, just as you said, 265GBP, glogged off my XDA2 for 180GBP, and got a spare sim!!! What a joke!

My invoice, sitting in front of me, for my MDA to be delivered to the UK, via UPS, COD. The items are as follows, in this order:
Delivery - 27 Euro
COD - 16 Euro
Total Price - 462 Euro
Includes VAT of 63.72 Euro.
Weird that they have the VAT figure AFTER the total, but it translates as "contains value added tax" or similar, so it looks like the 462 euro price is all in.
Not sure why you're adding back UK vat, and not sure what hidden charge you're speaking of...
mikey and 27, you guys on scancoms payroll?
No! Dude cancel your order though
Read the posts i did for Amazon, this is the second unti I buy, my wife took my imate, I was looking for the cheapest, and these Scancom guys make me laugh. I got the phone DELIVERED for GBP260. + 100 minutes per month sim =guest sim to lend to visitors. The reason why we are getting this is t-mobile quite rightly believe these phones encourage dtat tarrifs...oh sh*t. i hope it's not locked..ahhh! go to go

Hpe not - Last time I checked, t-mobiles data tariffs were terrible. I can't see anything equivalent to Orange World Access bundles of 4, 8, 25, 80, 400 and 1000Mb.
My preference is the 10Mb per month one for 80p per megabyte, Excellent value.

Glad I could help after last week's fierce debate!
I think it's a 1 year warranty with the Scancom deal but that's alright. 2 year warranties for electronics are now part of German consumer law apparently.
Thanks, but I'm worried now
It may be sim locked??? Ouch
and around about £200 brand new?
thanks
Probably very hard, Buzz claimed he found some on the web a few days ago for your price €200 I believe. He didn't mention where though. Try to PM him.
As the magician is retired now the shops won't be selling them I guess, at least in The Netherlands they almost all switched to the Wizard.
Success, M

That kind of price is going to be very difficult to find but there are other ways to get closer to that price. My brand new, telecom unbranded, unlocked Qtek S110 (yes 128mb RAM) will have cost me a total of £280 (I bought it in December). Here's how:
1) Signed up to an affiliate program that gives you cash back.
2) Bought the phone on an O2 12 month contract from internet company via the affiliate link.
3) The phone cost me £29.
4) I pay 6 lots of £30 rental per month.
5) At the six month point (or just before) I switch my contract to the cheapest £16 a month rental.
Cost:
Initial outlay = £29
6 x £30 = £ 180
6 x £16 = £96
= £305
minus £25 that I get back from the affiliate network
= £280!
AND, I get 6 months of 200 xnet minutes and 100 messages per month and then 6 months of 25 xnet minutes and 25 messages for free!
And the good thing was that the phone I bought was mobile unbranded and unlocked! But that does depend on the place you buy it from.
Dear O2 Germany users, need help here:
I got it with Handy-M, I pay ~470€ once, AND 10€ per month just for the phone!! (20€ monthly basis price). That by simple maths means: I pay 470 + (10 x 24 months) = 710€ for the handy!!! Help me out here, am I missing something or are they really over-charging me 710€ - (market price: 540€) = 170€ ??
Thanks for the help!! (I posted this before in another thread, didnt get any feedback )
You should have asked this question BEFORE getting the phone. Get ready to pay and have fun.
BTW, I paid 510 € for a TIM-branded one (but not simlocked).
I'm also at o2 Germany.
Touch HD: 429,99€
+ o2 Active 100 (100 free SMS and minutes): 15€ per month!
I think there's a small mistake in your claculation
me too,
429€ for the phone
15€/month(incl 100freesms and 100freeminutes) + 25€ for internet flat(resignable all 3 months)

Thanks, but its a different package than Genion M. (I talk 100 free minutes every day ... a bit exaggerated though )
when you get in that ring, you can't get out so easy. I have same experience with 3 Ita, You Must finish your 24 month contract
edit: If really have 100 mins calling every day for 24 months, what you want more
I have bought it over eBay. It costs 109 Euro plus a montly base fee of 15 Euro for 24 months long. So it will cost 470 Euro's for me, really cheap I think.

lool
my HD price
I got my HD from Orange UK online store. The handset should be 293.5 pounds, plus 24-month contract for 20 pounds each month (400 minutes plus 100 messages).
However, they just made a mistake on the price, and I got the phone at 29.5 pounds only (just missed "3"). Very very good luck. The contract price is: 29.5+20*24=510 pounds.
