I saw that the local O2 shop was selling XDA2s for £199 plus data and voice contract, or £299 with data only contract.
Is that the cheapest around?
hi m8,
did you notice how much the contract costs per month???

I don't think there was a restriction on what contract you had to get.
But I've been in 2 other O2 shops since then, they are still doing the old price of £299 for voice and data.
The O2 shop that was selling for £199 is at the lakeside shopping mall.
thanks for that m8...
I was hoping it was nationwide
how do they get away with just one shop selling them at that price????
my local o2 is elling them for £299 and a min £25 per month contract...
Zetex
O2 will price match, so at least you can get it for £250 if you mention that this is what "The Link" sells them for. This was on the £25/month contract, but you can change this after 3 months, e.g. dropping to the £15/month contract so you will still save!
shhh! Its got to be http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/O2_XDA_2.html (if only to price match!). £169 for data+_voice at £30 per month.
ive just got my xda 11 from uplands £169 and £35 a month,that's as cheap as i could find on the 250 tarif
xda price
uplands definitely seems the cheapest around
i got mine for £99 incl vat but that's a line rental of £75 pcm although if you are a big user that's the best value around as it allows a 1000 mins anytime anynetwork, 50 texts and free voicemail. Besides you can change it to any tariff you want after 4 months
i found Carlene Gildea v helpful on 0800 389 3000 ext 319 or 01792 481 319
Airlandata: £199+vat, £13 pcm, "best for business" tariff.
Works for me
The price collapse for the XDA2 seems to have happened a lot quicker than for the XDA1.... does that mean no one is buying?
Strangely the prices are going up on ebay, I think there is a shortage of units or something.
most of the shops in my town did,nt have the xda 2 in stock, about 5 phone shops were waiting for them to come in.the o2 shop had 2 in stock but they were £299 on the 250 tarif
£199.99 in O2 stores nationwide no minimum contract!
Hi all,
Just thought i'd let you all know that the O2 XDA 2 is available nationwide in all O2 stores for £199.99, so long as you take a voice and data tariff.
The voice calling plans start at £15 per month (yes - it really can be this low), and data can be on a pay as you use scheme (known as O2 Data Sense) so there is no monthly charge for data.
With the Data Sense pay as you use scheme the more data you send and receive the cheaper the price per MB becomes.
There are other data tariffs availble which come with an inclusive amount of data, if you want to know more about these, an O2 shop will be able to give you some info.
By the way, as far as i'm aware, the majority of shops have the XDA II in stock at the moment.

Yep I just got my XDA II for £199 from o2 shop with a £15 a month tariff, I had been holding out for the price drop and just using my XDA.
Can someone please tell me which software/hardware version I should have, are there some older versions still doing the rounds and how do I find the details of mine?
many thanks

My local o2 shop (Hanley shopping centre near Stoke-on-Trent) is also selling for 199.99 with voice and data tariff - the o2 website is still showing 349.99!
just got my xda II 199 pounds + 15 pounds contract
So happy
Can someone confirm this price of £199.99 for the O2 XDA II is correct. I've contacted O2 at Bluewater, Lakeside and they stated that the price was £299.99 - no matter what tariff.
So.....what O2 stores are selling the XDAII at £199.99 ???? :lol:
Cheers

The O2 store in Ilford has them @ £199 on any contract, but not in stock I really wanted to get the XDA II as i currently have an ipaq 5450 + t610 on t-mobile. Uplands seem very sure of their stock availability so i will be calling them today but as i want it on thr £16pm tariff i dont think they will help. I will try to go into O2 store as well, i can check ilford/romford & lakeside and will post findings...
The £199 seem to be in every O2 shop, however, I have been to Stoke, Chester, Manchester and Lancaster and none of them have any stock. The guy in Chester said that there is also no stock in 4 other local stores. Does anyone know where there is some stock in an o2 shop.
p.s. Uplands are not selling it for 199, the cheapest is 269 I think.
Hi,
As far as I was aware, the O2 Shop selling XDAII's at £199 was only for February and they are now back to £299 (the same as O2 Online). No matter what price they are, you will be very lucky to get one.. !!!! I live in Dartford and have called almost every O2 Shop in Kent / Essex and there are none
Rgds,
Rob.
where can i buy a xda2 will be the cheapest ? o2 or the-link...?
i want to buy one !
Thanks!
I got a quote from carfone last week of £150 but it would have to be posted from their warehouse. O2 wanted £250 but pricematched the other quote so I bought it there and then. 250 minute tarif £35pm.

oic !

and then this one is it the cheapest?
(http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/O2_XDA_2.html)
my gues is to look for a combination of XDA / MDA / etc with a tariffplan.
Bought my MDAII in The netherlands for 172 euro's together with a T-Mobile 150 (minutes/month) tariffplan (that costs 22,50 euro per month).
Sounded better to me than 850 euro for the device alone.
Only setback is the sim-lock, but hey: Solved that with the available tools here at xda-developers.
I got mine from OneStopPhoneShop.co.uk back in February for £155 on O2 200 (£30 minimum for first 4 months, then downgradable after 4th month) which i think is very cheap to say that at the time, it was £299 in the O2 shop and £349 online !
Prices for XDAII with new contract (with data, but no minimum tariff) or upgrade have been reduced from 250£ to 180£ in my local (hammersmith) O2 shop.
UPDATE: Didn't read the fine print: Minimum contract O2 100
You guys i wanna see if its really the best price...
expansys US sell JJ for 1000$.
HOWEVER! some you told me he bought his MDA pro at Holand for 750$!! (??!) :shock:
possibble??
anyhow - whats the cheapest price you found and where?
(JJ prefreable..)
10x!
T-Mobile Netherlands sells it for EUR 750, not dollars but euro's. But it is SIM-locked for their network tho. Lock can be removed for another EUR 120.
I just bought one in comination with a one year double EUR 15 contract, had to pay EUR 90 for it.. Only possible if you have a dutch chamber of commerce licence tho.
Hi
I will visit Hongkong next week.I want to buy XDA ATOM.Where can i buy it cheapest
on the street "from hand", not on the shop. But I thing without garantee. always ask sellsman to decrease the cost. You can bye the cheapper, then the first price.
how much is it approximately , do you know?
IMHO around 500-600USD
You can pick them up for 519 from stratecom i think...
you could go Mongkok, Sai Yeung Choi Street South, MTR exit E2
almost whole street are shops selling electronics. shops like broadway, fortress, wilson, chung yuen and citicall are quite reliable. and normally their price is negotiable.
i myself have checked O2 atom pure at wilson, now cost HK$4680 (by cash, not credit card) without any gift. while O2 atom exec selling somewhere around HK$55xx, the package without IR keyboard.
last week i got hp6818 myself for just HK$4030 in citicall!
A friend of mine was just in from Milan..
She loved my Hermes so much she wants one.
What is the best place to get it in Milan and what does it cost?
From what I saw online they are over 500 Euro..
Is it cheaper for me to get a Cingular 8525 here and unlock it for her..
Or are there better places to pick one up.
Thanks,

Hi.....I live in Italy (Florence) but I bought an Orange spv m3100 UK four months ago...saved a lot of money and imho it's much better than the official HTC TyTN
the official italian distributor of HTC is DANGGARD. She can bought it online from the ecomm site:
http://www.pocketdevice.it/
this is the preferred place as:
- the price is the same of nomatica and expansys (other 'italian' ecomm site selling the tytn), around 750euro (!!)
- the maintenance is serviced directly from them
i live in italy too (rome) and as "luchino san" I also preferred to buy my hermes in UK (through ebay) and i got a m3100 (better looking than HTC, IMHO). In italy official price is 750 euro but you can find it in some shops at around 650 euro, while through ebay i got it at about 500 euro (including express delivery costs). Only downside: warranty.
"Official way" (1) - "Unofficial way" (2)
No comment about the quality of dangaard service...don't make me laugh!
Sounds like it is cheaper for me to pick it up for her here in the US and unlock it.
Yikes.. 750 Euro...
Direct from Cingular with no Contract is 550 US...
Add in the Conversion rate.. Plus no VAT.. Although Tax is 8.75% or so..
Still a huge savings..
No front Camera on the Cingular one.. but I don't think she cares..
I think she will care instead!
Here in Italy we have 3 carriers with videotelephony
