Purchasing unlocked XDA's in Uk (London)

Anybody,
Could someone let me know where i can buy an unlocked XDA from here in London. Also, can an XDA be used with any GPRS network? provided you have the correct software installed.
Thanks

thank you, i will have a look

i have recently (last month) bought 2 unlocked pdas from totalpda. the service etc is very good but be aware that the items are not new. they are refurbished models. my ones are fine, although you can tell they have been used. also you dont get the handsfree kit or the cd-rom that normally comes with it.
if you do get one from them, DO NOT do the OS upgrade suggested by o2 as this will greatly interfere with any other service providers settings. which is the problem i have now!

thank you kindly for that sound advice. it's definately made me think twice, especially the fact that they are not new.

Hi
Give these guys a call teleford telecom or something like that
01772 880880
gto mine from there about 3 weeks ago, £225 (32meg).
i think that the units are new, but come with charge cables instead of cradles.
get the impression that they have them in stock on a time to time basis.
worth a try though.

again thank you Mr R J Webb for the advice, i am so glad this XDA forum exits its a wealth of information. great idea by the developers. i will keep you posted on the results of my call to teleford telecom, thanks.

thank you, i called Preston Telecom (i think) they were very helpful, but as you said their stock has been deplenished. again they are not new but from the descrition they may as well be. thanks again for the advice.

Try ebay uk
Hi
I bought mine from ebay UK from a guy who has contract with upgrade with O2 but doesn't need the phone and it was new. I had to use the xda manipulator to unlock the phone for use with vodaphone which I am using. There are quite a few guys selling new xda sets for about £200 for the 32m version and £300 for the 64 mb version. I got mine for £290(in April 03) but it should be worth less now (maybe £250 to £300). You do not need to pay exorbitant price for a new one and you got to make sure the guy selling the phone is not a cheat. So far all my purchases with ebay UK is quite safe and you could use a escrow service (intermediate service for a small fee which holds your money until the goods is delivered in good order before paying the seller) for added precaution. There is also a company in ebay UK selling the new 64mb xda for £149 (previously £199 only 3/4weeks ago) with a contract with O2.

thanks for the advice i am familiar with ebay, its an ok market place, but tend to be secondhand. i think i am going to go for the option buying a new one with O2 and unlocking it myself, thanks anyway.

Where to get an XDA II in the US?

I currently have an XDA I (Siemens SX56 AT&T) and would like to get an XDA II (unlocked) as soon as they're sold by a reliable US source. FYI, I called AT&T Tech support and they said an unlocked phone should work great, just swap the SIM chip over from my XDA I.
It looked like Phone4Devs would be a good source, but they went out of business. The other sources (below) I've found are mostly overseas and pretty expensive.

I'm sure I'm like many of you who would like to pay less than the $850-1,000 + Unknown Custom Charges, that overseas sources are asking.
There are many versions of the HTC Himalaya phone out there (qTek 2020, O2 XDA II, i-mate XDA II). It looks like the i-mate and qTek are the best for the US. Any feedback?
Let's see if we can find a good supplier in the US !!!
Thanks.

www.expansys.us
Use this link for USA marketed iMate or O2 XDA II. Sales tax charged in Illinois only.

XDA II Prices before Shipping
Benshop - US$905
Compume - US$830
Club i-Mate - $850
4Cellular - US$990
Mobilefly - US$880
PPCW-net - US$846
Expansys.us - US$833
I converted to USD where necessary and all are BEFORE shipping. Compume (Australia) and Expansys (World-wide) seem interesting.

and how about eBay ???
has anyone considered that option to acquire a/m XDA II ???
regards,
monika

Ordered an iMat XDA2
Gave up on Expansys.us. Ordered a iMtae XDA2 unit from PPCW.net (Arne). On route, looking forward to it.
Still trying to sell my existing XDA1 though, pass the word

cshields1,
I understand what you mean because I am currently waiting on Expansys.us too. When you get your phone please let us know of your over all experience with PPCW.net and also how the warranty or technical support is handle for the phone. I understand Expansys.us will play the middle man if you have an issue with phone during your warranty period (which is good considering we are in the US).

Tempted to sell my 1 month old MDA PRO
Can't find a use for carrying this brick around, No fax s/w , no A2DP, Opera.
checking mail with wifi at breakfast I can live without.
Prefer my compact with A2DP and my BT stereo headphones.
With latest T-mobile ROM very stable.
Was given my PRO by T-mobile after my new compact turned out not be new and full of porn!!!
My contract is up in Feb and I will renew to another phone then.
If anyone interested and in London drop me a line. I work in City.

A2DP and Opera are both coming in Jan. It wont hurt to wait another 2-3 weeks

Forgot to mention that £400 includes cost of next day delivery in the UK
Cheers
Colin

Wait until Jan
Opera is coming Jan.
As is AvantGo.
Where did you read A2DP is??? this will be at vendors discression.
They could make this available only on an updated model if they so choose.

It is part of the MSA MS5.0 upgrade, but only vendors have access to this.
It is not a download. It is a ROM update.
They could make this available only on an updated model if they so choose.

Price Reduced!!!! £340 plus postage
Thought I had sold this but the buyer didn't come up with the money - so it is available for £340 plus postage for a couple of days, before I stick it on ebay.
Cheers
Colin

can u ship it to india?
i can bear the extra shipping costs...not a problem!
could you give me some more details such as how long is it since you've had it, if its unlocked or anything else you think you should tell me about
thanks!
S

It's just two months old - never been taken outside my house. All i have done is sync'd it with my Outlook and set up wi-fi partneship. I have not used it other than that as I have an XDA II which I prefer using. It is in 'As New Condition' as it's box and case etc.
Cheers
Colin

My guess is that he is in Great Britain as the ebay listing is in GBP.....

Location
Correct UK, This is a UK English Shift.....

As it turns out I was already watching this in My Ebay before I saw the thread. Sadly as stated previously though, only shipping to UK.
Best of luck in selling.

really need one, just lost my x7500 today..
please let me know if u can ship it to Canada, thx

International
Buy it now and as long as your paypal address is certified i'll ship it to canada.
We may need to adjust the postage (I've stated £18 in UK, i think it'll be at least double that to canada)

maybe i just bid on it? thx

I am international attorney and have interest. Would you consider shipping to USA? (At my expense of course) Please advise on USD price if this is possibility. Also advise as to whether swaps or trades would be in order as feasible alternatives (e.g. I have 3 HTC TILT (Sprint-compatible) phones I would be willing to part with or augment within such a transaction.

SORRY!!!!
It's sold...... Thanks.....

If anyone is interested, I am selling a NEW HTC shift. I only bought it on the 21st Jan 2009.
I bought it for a friend (I do IT work privately) and he now says that he doesn't want it.
I am selling it for €600 (plus shipping) which is the price that I paid for it. I will include the invoice to prove this!!
The device has not been used other than to check that it works.
If anyone is interested, please contact me. nicholas at cross dot lu
Forgot to say... the shift is UK version, and I will ship worldwide so long as you are willing to pay for insured delivery (will be approx €30).
Here is the link to a certain site that I shouldn't mention: item n°: 140298568640
