Im currently on O2 at the mo (XDA IIi) with about 6 months of my current contract left.
Anyway when the time comes to upgrade, i quite fancy a Wizard ....
BUT i cant seem to find the device listed for any company (Tmobile, Vodaphone, O2, Orange) am i missing something?
Will it be available when i need to upgrade ?
Sorry if this has been asked before, i couldnt see any threads that jumped out at me.
I believe that O2 will have it soon, branded as the Mini Exec..
Expansys
Expansys (UK) have them in on T-mobile (as a vario) for £23.95 on web and walk 100
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127413
A few mobile sites have them in Qtek/Imate guises or branded to O2, but stocks seem to be minimal if non-existant. I rang t-mobile yesterday and upgraded for £40 to web and walk 100 for 18 months and the Vario. Recieved this morning and v. happy with it. My MDA compact is now being replaced (though it will be missed).

I want an XDA2!!
Sooner than later. Will settle for an imate or Qtec2020
Anyone got any ideas?
I would personally buy an Imate.
I bought mine from www.compume.com
or Arne is a great guy and has them in stock www.ppcw.net
I should of explained more.
I need 16 before Friday
Then another 500 sooner than later..
(UK based is also pref.)
wow
lol
well most places i've seen carry then without simlocks are small online and stores and such and i would very much doubt they could supply 16 that fast
maybe if you went to o2 or tmobile you could buy a pile and get them unlocked and without sim think they often sell them with that option but you have to pay alot! more
O2 and tmobile wont do that :x
Anymore idea??!?
Thanks in advance.
well maybe orange here they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and if you want to buy it wihtout a subscription
they cost 928.597 GBP a pop
so if you want 16 it's 14848 GBP
a bit on the pricy side if you ask me though
Not an ideal option but might be one to go down.
not sure if orange uk ofer them yet though cant see it on their site
Contacted Dangaard Belgium.
There seems to be a production problem for the moment with the 2020.
No units available (high quantities) until half february.
If you like, I can inform for T-Mobile MDA II (same device), but they will have a German manual (English ROM, simlock free).
Hi there we can do them for you (o2 XDAII) but we can unlock them for you for £450 each let me know
[email protected]
Buy the t-mobile MDA2 sim free, (german version) and then upload the new rom from T-mobile NL which makes the machine perfect uk usable
Machine is only €799,- sim FREE and there are lodes of them
NO PROBLEMO
take a trip into manchester airport terminal 3 get a ticket for plane and go into the departure lounge they got a tax free dixons they sell the XDA locked to bt ofcouse but no contract for £500ish

How to get an XDAII unlocked and usefull for Spain?
Does anybody knows where can I get a cheap unit of XDAII unlocked and usefull for Spain...I almos get P900 but I think XDAII is much better.
I keep getting told 'in a few weeks' but does anyone have any definate info on when it will arrive?
Thanks
H
Mmmmmm,
I didnt even think they would bother relasing it over here.
I know they are relasing the typhoon very soon
i waited and waited for the o2 xda mini. in the end got told they had no plans to release it in the uk!!! wtf i can't understand for the life of me how this makes finacial sense as i know that the magician has been hugely popular for the likes of tmobile and now orange with the m500.
so i gave up and got an orange contract and the spv m500, unlocked it and stuck my o2 sim back in it! maybe they will release the wizard in a few months instead - who knows?! o2 customer services are rubish and none of them had a clue!!!

why don't you just buy it from buy mobile phones.net? then you get the qtek with 2 years warranty? same phone, unlocked.
V
www.importgsm.com
Anyone use these guys? I am trying to decide which version o2, imate, qtek, or t-mobile to buy of this phone. so far it seems as though imate would offer the best warranty. i take it that is why people buy from them. qtek seems to be junk for warranty service (please correct me if i am wrong). t-mobile does not seem to have an english rom - causes me work.
back a few years ago i got an XDA II from o2 to get a cheaper deal than existed on the i-mate version. never had any problems and i think i sold it at a markup from what i got it from direct from britain. now i'm back to purchase a new htc device and am wondering: what more do you get for buying from i-mate really???
hi guys regarding Importgsm they were pretty good on expiditing my order which was a tmobile mda with a qtek rom wwe, which they actually got of this website.
I bought mine for 589 + shiping. they offered one year warranty directly thru them
So is the Vario II available then?
"The MDA Vario II is already available in Germany and the UK; Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Slovakia will follow soon" from the link below and dated 15/8/2006!!

I called T-mobile this moring (UK) and they still say its coming soon, she did tell me to try ant the end of the week though, I do think I will try a few more times later today as I am desperate for this device (even with the strange colour scheme!)

Hi
I'm a newbie, have checked but can't see anyone has asked this specific question before:
I'd like an xda trion but I've been told by O2 it won't be coming to the uk.
So my question is, if I got hold of an unlocked HTC Hermes or one of it's equivalents and put in my o2 3g sim - could I use all of it's features?
i.e. would this be like using a Trion but without all the O2 software etc..
Also is there a recommended model to buy? - i.e. HTC or imate etc
Thanks
Do you really need to stay with O2 ? Because the T-Mobile and other operator deals can give you a 12/18 month contract + Hermes for the same price as a device without contract.

I bought an unlocked TyTN from mobilefun.co.uk aswell as a 1GB microSD (the UltraII one). Works a charm, no rpobelsm(LOL leaving that for irony) whatsoever (apart from ones ive made hehe). Its the HTC branded TyTN but ive flashed it with the imate JASJAM ROM and used the HTC ext rom to get the standard green content etc.... (having tried the updated unnofficial HTC rom, aswell as the dopod rom). 3G works a treat and im still on my O2 online contract (sim only.....1 month rolling contract...£25 line rental...1000 txts and 1000 off-peak minutes)
O2 is pretty good for me and im ok with not having the full speed internet and settling for (around) 1mbps on 3G.
kevino - I wish I could, my current contract doesn't finish until April though.... there's no way out is there?
mrvanx - thanks for the info that's great. Think I'll look for second hand though, it's expensive isn't it.
Also I'll have to look in to all this rom update stuff to get it all sorted.
Thanks guys - very helpful.
Kenny
Kenny,
April is a long way off. I just moved to T-Mobile because of W'n'W. Depending on your usage it may be worth your while to just get a new contract anyway. You can, I believe, buy out your contract if you want to keep your number. Anyway I'm sure you'll know what's best for yourself.
