My O2 Exec was stolen yesterday and my insurance company need me to find out how much a replacement costs. Unfortunately, O2 insist that as they are not available on a PAYG basis they cannot give me a phone-only price. :roll:
Is there anywhere that is selling these online without a contract so that I can provide my insurers with the info they need? I don't care what it's branded as and I don't really care how much it is, I just need an official published price.
Thanks in advance.
I think you can only buy one second hand.
Surely somebody must be selling them without a contract...?
at eBay you can find it....
I know you can get used ones on eBay, but I need a reputable seller who's selling them new as this is for an insurance claim.

They sell them sim free here at £549

Hello all
Basically I am having to put an insurance claim in for my old XDA and the insurance company need me to get quotes for a replacement (which will be the XDA2). However, having searched many places in the UK everywhere can only give me prices for contract XDA2's.
Does anybody know of shops or retail outlets that will sell the XDA2 sim free??? O2 themselves won't, Carphone Warehouse etc won't so apart from Ebay (which I do not know if the insurance company would be happy with) I am a bit stuck.
Any one offer any advice??
With thanks

Hi,
The only place I know about is http://www.expansys.co.uk . The price is expensive though as its sim free, but if your not paying. Who cares
Rgds,
Rob.
Top man Rob
No probs dude.

I'm buying my xda2 tomorrow sim free for £300 from my local o2 shop as they have a special offer on at the moment
Moonmonkey, can you give more details about this offer, they are selling you an xda2 without a contract at £300? I didnt think O2 sold phones unless they hooked you to a contract.
It doesn't matter if you get one locked to O2 as within this web site is the software to unlock it. It will have the O" logo and settings in it but that doesn't matter as you can change the ROM as well. I've lost the link within the site for it but it's free and works. just follow the easy instructions.

I'm buying mine sim free as its a replacement phone to my xda1 and I don't want another contract..Erm well normally they sell it sim free for something stupid like £400-450 and with contract for £350...they reduced the price to £300 earlier this year then down to £200something with contract so the price for simfree naturally went down aswell...I'll fill you in when I get bck from the shop hopefully later today
Good luck Moonmonkey, regardless of price if you can find any o2 shops that have the xda II in stock i'll be impressed.
If only o2 spent a small part of there advertising budget keepng there distribution channels properly stocked!
Brand new xda2 on ebay, £400 buy now
here is the link, make sure you can collect, it looks genuine to me but be aware of scammers, do not part with cash until sure, the guy wants immediate payment via paypal.

IS IT JUST ME OR ARE O2 JUS PLAIN STUPID?
Go to the O2.co.uk shop online and order one for 139.99 on any contract. It's amazing how many different prices they've got for it every time you ring them!

sorry i left the cap lock on
any1 know if any o2 shop in london has any exec's in stock?
I got mine on an upgrade - £220 but £10 off my monthly bill. Works out at £100 for the phone over the year.
I did mention it the sales lady that I can get it on a new contract for £140 and she offered the money off the tariff then.
I doubt if they sell at all in shops. I tried Ox street but they didn't have it. I bought mine online. Check if it is in stock before bying online, they don't do PRE-ordering stuff.
cheers

They have plenty.
Just picked one up in Reading today to replace my JASJAR which I am selling.
They said they had 6 in stock.
:arrow: rilot
being one who has been deliberating for the past few days whether to buy the O2 Xda Exec or the JasJar
(as far as I see - the Exec's benefit being its looks and much lower cost Vs the better and more frequent firmware updates of the JasJar) -- could you please share the benefits of your knowledge and experience as to WHY you are replacing one model with the other
thanks
@techdot,
the Exec is £100 cheaper SIM free than the JJ, that's a good reason I think!
techDot
My main reason is that I can sell the JASJAR for approx £550 which pays off my Vodafone contract.
O2 have excellent data bundles such as the one I'm on which is 75MB/month for £18.
Overall, the total cost of ownership is considerably lower with the XDA Exec and an O2 contract in my situation.
For those many people in the US who are unable to buy an XDA Exec locally I have managed to source a new Exec and its on sale here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6457492653&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Please note that if you purchase in the next few days I will not ship until the end of the week.
UKP10 will go to charity
While I truly appreciate your efforts, jah, man, don't you think the postage to the US is a bit too high? I could stomach $55 via FedeX (ala Expansys UK) to the US but that would be in dollars and not UK Sterling.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I have been looking to get an Exec so I thought I would take a look. The postage has thrown me off though.
Thanks.

if i had you "in range" i would have probably strangled your neck by now!!!! Just after i bought my device a couple days back, you pop this post up :evil:
btw, thats a reallllyyyy high user rating you have on ebay
S
Well yeah, it would certainly be cheaper than the $950 you paid for the JasJar. Although, if you know someone in the UK, the Exec can be had for under $620 which is a brilliant price.
Still a good deal for most Americans.
@dreamtheatre, O2 told me I couldn't buy any more Smartphones from them (I have a XDA Exec, Nokia 9500, Treo 650 & SE K750!). But I managed to persuade them and I know people in the US (and elsewhere) are keen to get the Universal in O2 colours! I know people here would really appreciate a device like this. Good luck with your Qtek!
@monakh, sorry man for the P&P but its the only way I can recover the high costs of using eBay and PayPal (I provide a high level of protection through Paypal and therefore safer for buyers).

Relisted because of time waster. New ebay entry at:

Can I buy XDA Exec in the U.K. without being O2 customer? That is just pay and go without being an O2 customer or a U.K. Citizen..
I am thinking of going to the U.K. just to purchase a machine.
My girl is going to Germany next month and I know Jasjar can br purchased there as well but I wouldn't want a german keyboard.
Of couse you can. But won't your phone just get blocked when you have it back in Turkey.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54910&highlight=imei
what is the point of going to uk in order to get exec??..loads of e-stores sell them or check out ebay.co.uk
cheers, cudo
Hello,
TO: kevino
They no longer block phones in Turkey. They stopped doing so about 2 weeks ago.
TO: cudo
The point is not to pay outrageous taxes and be tourched with Turkish customs for 8 hours.
Anyway,
Where is the cheapest place to purchase it in the U.K. ?
Or cheapest online store? I don't mind buying the Qtec 9000 since it's the same thing.
I still think that the best way is to get one off ebay..and the seller may send it as a gift so there is gonna be no tax and custom. the other thing is ebay is the cheapest
Find someone in UK you trust with £300 and have them buy it for you.
Then have them ship it to you as a gift. You can then prove that you aren't to pay customs on it with one phonecall to your friend. Your friend in the UK can phone Turkish customs and tell them that it was bought off ebay by them as a gift for you, without mentioning the money that you sent them for it.
If you would like the numbers of some really nice Turkish people over here that might help you out (and actually speak your language lol) I can send you them I have a few Turkish friends that would be trustworthy with that kind of money.
Of course, this assumes that you trust me to give you other people's numbers and not be pulling a fast one on you to grab your £300 ...
It is all about trust, isn't it?
Doing it this way has to be cheaper than flying over here just for a phone.
Gift exemption only appies under a certain value. Unless you are willing to take the chance of declaring the value as about £20, you'll probably still get taxed.
BUT, if you DO take that risk and declare it as low value, they may pull it anyway and question why a device like that is only worth £20.
Your choice
hi preditor.
thank you so much for getting back to me...
i sent you a PrivateMessage let me know..
thanks.
Hi thought you guys might be interested in a new universal its on a make an offer auction if you bid tell me your from xda developers and i will sell it cheaper.
LINK- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XDA-EXEC-BRAN...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i don't trust those seller in UK at all. My first bad experience with for that was i won the auction in Ebay for an O2 exec. Paid the seller almost $700 USD thru Paypal. That jerk sent me a package with the 2 empty canned air inside. After I file a claim thru Paypal, that seller hide away like a dog. From there on, no more buying on Ebay from any UK seller for any expensive item. There are some guys in the state selling the NIB O2 exec for around $400 USD on Ebay for now. Your price is kind a high
Thats not my selling price! the idea is that you make an offer for it.
Shipping?
I have a uni, but would like a spare in case of future mishaps, the only problem is that I live in South Africa, is it possible to ship it here? And what will the charge be?
Thanks
