O2 and HTC I'd imagine
on another note.... I hope to hell its not the same price as the original XDA was when it first came out.
I dont care what anyone says... nothing of that spec is worth £500 !!!!
<hopes O2 are reading>
If they released it for what the XDA is selling for (£300 w/ contract?) then I'd definetly go for it but not much above...
I wonder how much they will sell the XDA for when the XDAII comes out?
I hope they will sell olso for outsite ... like Italy.
...and unlooked device... cause if else, we must discover how
to unlook the XDA II like first XDA.
Denis
stop selling
I bet that they stop selling the xda original. After all What extra revenue can they get from it? The new XDA II will have MMS because of the integrated camera. This is what sll the providers want. They make money from sms, gprs, mms, voice etc. That is what they are really after.
Wait and see what package they get together. £50 p/m. inclusive minutes, data, sms, mms etc... This is how they make their money...

a phone where the company sells it cheaper along with a subscription are almost certain to be simlocked
I'm quite happy to stick with their contract for a year if it means I'm getting 200 notes off the phone lol :lol:

Yeah thats 6-700 pounds UK.
Trouble is... they probably will sell it for that price with a contract on top of that !!!
Bummer - coz I'm really enjoying my XDA at the moment (got it for 150 pounds second hand) and would love the extra power. Have thought aboput going for a Toshiba e750 and a bluetooth phone - bummer on the pockets... but what else to do eh...
We'll have to sit tight and wait I guess....
What are the chances of being able to buy the base unit from HTC (without paying for the software) and *ahem* flash it with an XDA-developers ROM - or has that never been an option ??

Who will buy form me ???

i think i will wait until they reduce the price of the xda. at least i won't be a beta tester :wink:
regarding your question, HTC doesn't sell units to end customers. you'll only get original unflashed units, if you buy a few thousand pieces and put your own logo on it :wink:
The thing is that o2 had an agreement with the manufacturer to have some exclusivity in UK and possibly Germany for the original XDA. This is why T-Mobile have not been able to sell the MDA in UK for last two years. When there is no competition, o2 can afford to charge 300 pound +
However, the xdaII will have competition with the MDAII, the same device, but T-Mobile have got around the exclusivity issue. Hence the prices will reflect competition.
Found today an article in the internet professionell magazine. They are writing, that the XDA II will have a price of 399 Euro and will be released about one month before the mda II will do.
But they also write, that the mda II will be released at the end of october.
Question is just in which year.... :lol:

Just wanted to ask you chaps where was the best place to sell my XDA2 and what it's likely to be worth. It's a few months old - bought it the day it was released but my circumstances have drastically changed and I am now office bound for most of the day, every day!
I have not had it unlocked yet but that's about 5 seconds work with the XDA Deveopers utility.
Also, how do I get out of the O2 contract paying the bare minimum ?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi m8, i'll give you £350 for it, Ronnie ([email protected])
2nd user XDA2
O2 shops are doing deal for £330 no contract. Carphonewarehouse will match. Therefore I'd suggest somewhere in the range £250 - £300
look on ebay for guide.
mrg2003, where have you seen the XDA 2 for £330 no contract ?
What stores ? My local o2 stores say they dont sell them without a contract ?
If you could let me know please, a friend of mine wants one.
TIA
is the XDA II still for sale or does anybody know where the best deals are either contract or sim free
sorry chaps !
XDA2 sold long time ago - just been away for a while !!
btw sold for £450.
£350 sale is an urban myth !

Hi All. Good news. MDA PRO is definately available in T-mobile shops as of today. My wife bought one today and I've just finished setting it up and have left is to charge.
For anyone interested, it cost: £219.00 on Relax 200 (18 month contract) with 6 months half price line. Wow! Feel like a mug now, bought a JasJar 3 days ago. Well all's well that ends well. We're on different networks, but I also picked up my 3G Sim card from o2 today, so will be testing 3G video calls/conferencing and faster internet connection later this evening. :lol:
Hi!
Have fun and enjoy it!
Yeah I have one too, £259.99 from scancom on uFix 15 (£15/month, 12month contract). Got TomTom 5.1 working on it, this is the most awesome device I've ever seen! :lol:
Disappointed about the lack of MSN Messenger though, gonna have to buy it from M$
Do you know if you can buy it sim free or pay as you go with T-Mobile?
was negotiating for mda pro £200 + web and walk (£30/month = 100min talk + 40MB ) on a 18 month contract.
But only one available in Leeds .. waiting for next Wednesday - Saturday to get two at the same time.
Did not even get a price back even with insurance (£8/month)
no double battery - leather casing -
the T-Mobile guy didn't took me as a serious customers (I'm young ;.. ) so I couldn't play around with the OS as I wanted ... just saw the nice colour of the screen + first boot not even the wm5 start menu or camera quality ..
MDA pro official released is Wednesday with web & walk tariff
02 didn't not have any public release date ( even commercial version ) cheaper for the device but more expensive for the contract
adamdon89:
Don't think they'll ever do them Sim free, but I'd love to be proved wrong!
lilliput:
My Mrs must have been extremely lucky if the official release date isn' till wednesday. Well, the salesman in T-mobile did say that it was the only one that came into the shop.
Why do they play with us so?

I had the feeling it was the only one that they had too.
Because they didn't do like O2 and do a marketing around the mda pro they need a quick other way to tell everyone that it will be there next Wednesday ... and it's working ... (marketing)
and I think also that's the reason why I didn't get any price on it.
Do you think it's valuable to get an insurance (£8/month) on it ?
My local T-Mobile shop told us that they should have it next Wednesday so waiting and see; (I'm going to buy 2 contract hope to reduce a bit more the price)
NB: Once I'll get it my main aim would be to run linux on it
Hi lilliput:
Linux eh? Sounds interesting! A little out of my depth but that's an open source code O/S isn't?
Insurance? Definately a must. I bought myself a jasJar 3 days before my wife bought a MDA Pro in T-mobile and the salesrep recommended insurance @ £7.99 a month. Incidentally, I searched around the net for insurance for my JasJar and was also quoted the same price by most PDA/Phone insurance companies. It's cheaper if you insure a standard phone, but these PDA/Phones are then covered for loss/theft & accidental damage to the tune of £1000.00 So overall, I think it's a good plan. Additionally, after a years of insurance you will be sent a brand new battery for your phone!
Such a small world... :lol: Where did your wife find that Mda Pro? Oxford Street T-Mobile? I was looking for an Mda Compact today and I was shocked when sales woman offered me Pro, she said she just got two of them and someone is picking up one later. It's too big for me though 8)
So anyway, it's easier to find a PRO than Compact :shock:
rottie: She bought it in the T-mobile shop in the Glades, Bromley, Kent. It was the only one that came in to the store on Saturday.
But if you're after a Magician....got the wife's ex-magician on offer with box and all bits and pieces, including 512MB SD card :lol:

T Mobile assure me you're lying and that NO WAY has ANY T mobile store got any, or sold any MDA Pros and won't for WEEKS yet. Oh, and the Norwich store on Gentleman's Walk has one, too. Which must also be a lie.

scancom.co.uk have had them in stock since Saturday, they must be lying too - I have mine in front of me right now :lol:
LIES :lol:
Call me a liar too then :lol:
yep it's Linux is an Open Source (and even more GPL software)
I've seen some really good version for mobile phone and wanted to tried asap.
(apparently I can even test it without uninstall anything )
wait Wednesday to get one .. few hours to wait ... ARGGGGGGGG..
for the insurance if get a battery for free after a year might be worth it.
I was afraid that 40MB/month are not enough.. If you think about it that's just 1MB/day roughly;
What's the extra software that you get with the mda pro ?
(any SD with it ?)
well i just been in the T mobile shop in the trafford center and they sold there last 1 of which they had 2 delivered sold 1 saturday a half hour b4 gutted so they are available but just not 2 me lol
Guys, anyone bought it here? Are they serious?
Thanks.
I had purchased a pre-order TyTn from them, but their shipment was going to be delayed 1 week. I emailed them asking for a refund and they did not hesitate to do so.
Even though I did not get my TyTN from them, I thought their service was great.
same here. I'd definitely buy from him again...
I received my TyTN from them in his first batch, and I've also purchased a QTEK 8500 from him....perfect with no complaints. When I informed him that I needed it quickly for a business trip, he upgraded the shipping without even thinking about it.
I use SMG to buy phones all the time. Great service.
Guys, I'd like to know how you all go about getting your Hermes and how much you pay for it.
Since I live in a country where is costs like $1000 for the Hermes, I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting it for cheap like it is in the US and UK.
I tried asking a few of my friends in the states to pick up one of the cingular connections which offers an 8525 along with a 2 year contract for about $400, but that would mean they have to get an extra connection.
I've noticed that there are a lot of people who sell these kind of phones on ebay which have been unlocked for around the same price.
Is there anybody you guys would recommend? or is there any other way I can go about getting the 8525 or equivalent for around $400 Brand new.
Hope yu guys can help out ASAP. My friend in the US leaves in another 2 weeks. It has to reach him by then.
Thanks and Regards
Lee

if you're using fido, i'm guessing you're in canada
some local cell phone places can get the hermes relatively for about 700CAD or so, usually the softbank japanese version
you could check craigslist for your area
e.g. vancouver.craigslist.org
see if you can search HTC or Cingular 8525
i'm lucky i got mine from ebay locally though
under 450CAD brand new
@Taurus... Check ur PMS

Ah, the gansta stronghold, as we call it.
Thanks guys...
@ $5 x 24 = $120.00... Really? The only other place I saw that kind of a price was on Amazon where an 8528 was going for about $125.00 with a 2 year Voice and Data Plan from Cingular which at it's cheapest would cost you around $80.00 a month.
Hope somebody else can point me out to a good deal. I'd prefer the M3100. Like our Mr. Activ Moderator pof pointed out... it's looks neat

Yes it's true, around $120... but it's a two year contract. In total the monthly fee is $25 including only 12250 packets and free calls from 1am to 9pm inside the softbank network...
SoftNank in China
I got my SoftBank Hermes 200 phone in China for US$450 unlocked with English ROM.
Managed to find what looks like a decent seller on eBay.
Let's see how it goes. Brand New 8525 for around 450.00
Check this out.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the link. I'm trying to avoid the X01's. Looks like this one works up to about USD 550.
I got my Cingy 8525 from Craigslist (SF Bay area) for $400 about 4 month ago
