Hi, some please help,
i have a MDA Pro but it's Simlocked?
what can i do for take it out?
Thank's for the help...
Sory if something is wrong, my english is no so well ...
if you need a programms or games for your PDA, i can help...
It depends on where/how you got your MDA Pro. T Mobile UK WILL unlock in-contract handsets for a fee (£15 or £20, seems a little random), but only for the contract-holder and only if the handset came with that contract.
I've just helped a chap outside the UK get an MDA Vario as I was out of contract and needed a web'n'walk type tariff. The same day that I signed the contract and collected the handset, T Mobile agreed to send me the unlock code. They said it should take two to four weeks to arrive.
HTH
I have it from Germany, one people bay it for me in the shop, but it have SimLock, and i have no idea what i can make with it... :roll:
imeicheck offers unlock for the Vario..
not for the mdapro yet .. but can't be far off hehehe
Only thing is, to do it a bodged way from imei check costs £20...
To get a proper code from T-Mobile costs £15...
:lol:

Well, I don't know where you get that, but in Holland T-Mobile charges 120 Euro's to unlock it.
yup
they charge 15 pounds in the uk if you can prove that the vario or mdapro is bought together with your contract, and it takes 28 days to get the code :shock:
Most people buy these phones without contract or 2ndhand, that means they have to find an alternative way to unlock the phone. then 20pounds is cheap.
and in holland they are totally and untterly looney... they dare to ask 100euros +
So as soon imeicheck has a 'bodged' way to unlock my mda pro i will gladly pay 20 pounds to do so.
:twisted:
It took a total of 3 days for me to get my unlock code from T-Mobile. They were more than helpful about it, and they even sent it me on paper the day after!
SIMlock
Well, that SIM lock it seems to bother quite some people, including me. My suggestion is do not buy locked MDA Pro, Only unlocked. the cheapest ones with no contracts and unlocked are PDAhuis.nl for 709 euro the same price you pay for a locked in e-bay or other auction sites I you include transport unlocking calling faxing and all that.
From what I looked arround is that the simlock depend on IMEI (wich can be manipulated then with any working unlock code can be unlock) has anyone tried something like that?
GM
lol
hej mate,
ever ordered something from pdahuis.nl? LOL
being dutch myself i heard they have waitingtimes which are increddible.. if you get it at all LOL
cheapest in holland is smartphonestunts.nl.. and that is 750 euros for a tmobile locked one :twisted: but they deliver!!

Sure, rumors are rumors so you heard. But did you buy something from them? 11 days and saving 200euros it is somethiing to consider and it is unlocked.
My experiance with T-Mobile Austria is 35 days and still counting to receive the unlock code and not for free to pay 104 euros plus post expences what you say about it?

lol
i know mate... still have a motorola Mpx in order LMAO
I have an MDA Pro bought from Computeruniverse (germany). Arrived in 4 days locked. As I bought without contract I've send a fax to T-Mobile and received the code in 3 days without any cost.
Nice and clean.

Pls, can you to whom did you send the fax? Anything specifi you have written in the fax?
Thanks and regards
* call T-mobile Deutchland +49-1805330160
* you have to try until you get an english speaker and provide: IMEI number, phone number, email adress, name
* fax the invoice at +49-6188828556 and write the same infos onto the bill
* wait for the unlock code
does calling t-mobile germany actualy work if you are not from germany? Even when you didn't buy the phone in germany?

Seems to me he means you can get it for free too if you got an agreement with t-mobile and if you do not even live in germany.
Is that true?

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

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.
Anyone knows how to unlock the O2 xda Exec? I had bought it from UK but I can't use my local sim card now. Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just got it today, and i also want to know, is there any method to unlock it? ( actully i don't mind to pay for it, as long as it is not too expensive..)
i think below 30 pounds is acceptable..
Received mine in the post yesterday and it's not locked :?
I intend to use it with my Vodafone company SIM so it was a welcome relief.
8)
which one is it?i mean o2, 3g or which?
Got mine from O2 shop online. Also have a colleague who got his there and it's not locked either.
Pretty good deal now....£140 and a £20pm 12 month contract.
running my o2 exec with an orange sim no problem
no unlocking required
just needed to change the internet id to orangeinternet
If your XDA is locked, I understand O2 charge an unlocking fee of £15. T Mobile (UK) charge the same amount to unlock and MDA Pro.
clarification -
As far as i gathered from this forum and other sources the o2 Xda Exec is unlocked to other :!: :!: UK :!: :!: mobiles.
This is not the case with non-UK SIMs.
Can someone using the device with a non-UK SIM add his comments on the matter :?:
o2 - UPDATE
just called o2 customer services to inquire about possibility of unlocking the xda Exec (at least to foreigh SIMs if not other UK SIMs which seem to be working fine) and was told that it wouldn't be possible for at least a YEAR :!: :!: :!:
:evil:
one representative of o2 doesn't know of policies stated by another...

sounds bollocks to me.... it's more work to lock non-uk networks than uk networks.
Exec is not sim-locked, period.
Can anyone install a non-UK sim (if they have one handy) to see if the fact mentioned above is in fact true or not? I am thinking of importing an Exec to the US (well currently in the Middle East) and am just concerned about the Sim Lock. Thanks.
I am interested in the answer to this as I live in Switzerland and can only get the M5000 with German or French os I only understand English! It is currently worth my while to get an O2 Exec, plus yearly subscription, as it saves me a little money and I get it in English. I have a Swiss Orange subscripton sim and in addition a prepaid Swisscom sim. If I can help please let me know. I am happy to post out the prepaid to someone to try it. I will also be in London (Docklands) on the 4th November for a few days visiting my sons.
using on 3 network
i understand that this phone is tri-band and on umts network aswell. will it work on the 3 network? or has anyone tried it? thanks in advance
3 network

Just received mine from the UK, and it was unlocked. Works perfectly well on Dutch Vodafone, T-Mobile and KPN simcards and networks.
wiz,
So basically you're telling us that the xda exec is clean of any kind of locks?
no simlock at all?

o2 xda execs arent locked
o2 xda execs arent locked
Dont bet on it.
Im not sure,
but if i noticed correctly - whoever bought it from O2 online shop recieved an unlocked version, and other recieved locked versions.
besides - it might have been just part of the phones who werent locked.
Wiz - please state where exactly did you buy your phone,
10x !
XDA EXECS are UNLOCKED!
I can confirm this with 5 sim cards (yes I am a busy person)
Cyprus Sim (CYTAGSM)
UK Sims (Orange, T-mobile, O2, Voda)
So No worries
As far as i hear, the M5000 is locked and the are trying to figure out how to unlock it. Dont know about MDA Vario or other rebranded ones
what is the price of spv m700 . i mean the cash price not in the net but in markets in uk and france and other countries .
thnaks
If you commit yourself to a either a 12 month or 18 month contract of £35 or above.
Then the handset is totally FREE.
thanks for your replay first
i mean the cash price not in installments
Ebay...
Hey there,
Your looking at between £280-350 on ebay. The price will drop even more when ebay becomes flooded with these devices which will happen eventually as more and more people will be offered these devices for their upgrades!
Most people who are not use to these PPC phones just get them as their upgrade and sell them on ebay.
If your looking to buy the original HTC P3600 then your looking at around £400.
Hope this helps.

Agree with Your comment , Btw Not a way to get it Without contract ? From orange ?

thanks for all your replays
i want to ask if this pocket " spv m700 " have any problems (software or hardware ) and the unlocker would make this pocket work in my country egypt in etsalat , vodafone and mobinil networks
i meani can i buy it safe and peaceful
sorry if i asked alot
go to www.htc.com there is a retialer in egypt called 'jovitronix?' however the link to there website is down, maybe you can contact one of the UK suppliers of the htc unlocked htc 3600 (the unbranded spv m700) and see if they will ship to your country!
Does someone know where i could buy a unlocked Omnia 7 without contract in europe? I searched and didn't find a single shop that had some on stock.
It's listed with a provisional price on Clove but with no release date I am afraid.
You can buy it PAYG on three (£445 I think) and then pay £15 to unlock, so £460 sim free from 3.
I don't see the Omnia 7 when i select PAYG on the three uk online shop. May this option is only if u buy it directly from a three store? And where i can get the phone unlocked for £15, direct from three?
I found a locked Omnia 7 on eBay but not shure if there is a trusted unlock online service.
Not sure about online, but certainly in store they had is as PAYG as well as contract. And the guy in store said you just call 3 themselves and they will give you the code for about £15.

So there not operating the same 12 month no unlock policy as O2 are then?
Does it leave the device with much three branding?
I bought my Omnis on t mobile and have had it unlocked and am now using it on Vodafone as this is my preferred network as they have much better 3g coverage in my area. Aside from a t-mobile marking on the battery cover there is no branding on the phone at all.
Go to geizhals.at most of the online stores update the availability daily, there u can get it as soon as it's available
I'm also looking to get one soon!
I'm also looking at geizhals.at every day, and it drives me crazy
Any updates on this?
I bought mine BNIB (locked to Orange UK) from eBay for £310, then unlocked for $20. Bargain
www.belsimpel.nl
The Swiss site, www.digitec.ch have an unlocked Omnia 7 for 585.- CHF. I used this site/store many times while I live in Switzerland and it is very good value.
They offer free delivery, but it is only to Switzerland I'm afriad (I see you are in Austria - nextdoor!). You can buy online and collect it from their stores (closest to Austria would be Zurich or Winterthur).
Play.com have it unlocked for £479.99

A german shop has some instock again (since yesterday) Omnia 7 16gb... looks like its completely free of branding.
http://www.redcoon.de/index.php/cmd...amsung_Omnia_7_(I8700)_16_GB_black/#detailtop
They might even deliver to Austria.
I know there is another company delivering to Austria; a1 something .. they also have a website called www.getgoods.de but it is only the 8gb version (also unbranded) They did pretend to offer the 16gb version but they realised that stock was low.
I rang three and got them to bill me for one. They insisted I had a contract and pay monthly for it but I got them to sell me one full price with no contract £445 ish.

A friend of mine keeps visiting Germany, Frankfurt...can I ask her to get it...I live in India...what about the unlocking procedure then?? SHould I get it unlocked there itself or should I get it unlocked here in India?? Also, I am not looking forward to spend A LOT..like £445 is toooo much for me...(MORE than my salary )
So..around £300 - 350 is fair i think??
Thanx!
All omnia 7 phones in germany are from t-mobile and therefore unlocked. The only branding they have is a splashscreen and t-mobile search in the ie.
You can flash a new rom though and it will be completely unbranded.
I dont know the exact prices right now but it should cost around 520-590€.
Hope that helps...
..but, am uncertain about the "validity" of this online shop.
Anyone have experience with this merchent?
http://www.cellgsmphones.com/conten...omnia_7_16gb_unlocked_gsm_phone_preorder.html
there is no 16 giga version for the omnia7
Thats wrong. There is such a version - for example in Germany.
If this site got the 16GB Version is a different matter tough.
These shops have the 16GB Versions http://geizhals.at/eu/a582829.html
watch out for the German T-Mobile Branded Omnia 7. It's not released right now, we have to wait 2-3 weeks.
Not 2-3 weeks. I just got an email that the place where I bought it will send it to me on Friday.
Most sites on the Internet says 16th or 18th though.
Where did you buy it, the most shops i asked about the 16GB version said 2-3 weeks.
I bought it with a contract on an ebay store.
I guess thats not what you are looking for.
But on amazon.de there are for example a few shops with a delivery on 18th.
If you search on google you will see the other stores with 16th (I have doubts that they really get it delivered by then, but thats what they say)
Anyone found one outside of Germany? Also, are the German ones unlocked and usable abroad?
Starting to get tired of waiting for the Dell Venue Pro.
A t-mobile phone is a t-mobile phone as far as i know. You can buy it from the link i posted earlier this morning sim free from deutsche telekom *aka t-mobile*
***posted this earlier****
It's with deutsche telekom you can get the 16gb version.
Found the link.

"Someone Phone them this morning on 0800 33 55222 *german phone code 49* and see where they'll send it, i'm guessing anywhere if you pay for it"
T-Mobile US and UK are not compatible so I need to be sure there's no issue between Germany and UK as that would be a waste of my money .

What I meant was... If it's locked to T-Mobile DE, would it be ok with T-Mobile UK.
On a side note I wasn't expecting such a high price, maybe 100€ less...

Yeah maybe compared to the 8GB but the PAYG HD7 is only £380 and also 16GB, even if you pay to unlock it you won't go above £400 .
I might have to wait for the Dell Venue Pro afterall and upgrade the SD card.

I've had a HTC from the MDA pro, TyTnII, Touch Pro 2, HD2, and now the Samsung, Why... put two next to each other When HTC front the cash and jump Samsung again with a new model back i go
I've got the German Omnia and it is definitely not locked to T-Mobile, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it with o2
The phone has no hardware branding but software branding with some uninstallable software and a customized search within IE (instead of Bing you get a Google based Telekom search). The biggest problem so far is that the MMS settings are locked to T-Mobile and are not customizable, so I can't sent or receive MMS (for me, it's no big deal, but for some it is...).
Furthermore, you can get the phone from other stores as well: Geizhals (local price search) has an overview of several shops that have the phone and are also cheaper than T-Mobile. The shop with the lowest price (handyattacke.de) also mentions that it might be possible to ship to other countries, but you have to ask them ("Lieferung in weitere Länder auf Anfrage."). Might be worth a try

LOL! Thats pretty funny... No offense, but let me guess, your german was coming from google translate or something like that? At least you´ve tried it!
Was today in a T-Mobile Shop in Germany and was asking the guy there about the Omnia 7. He confirmed me that all the T-Mobile branded Omnia 7 which are sold in Germany have 16GB memory and are not locked... That means you just have to find a Online Shop in Germany who send it to Europe to get a 16GB one. The only things you have to accept are the mms problem, startscreen from T-mobile for 2 seconds and the T-mobile Search. But Im sure with the time somebody here solve that problems...
