XDA 2???

hello.......
i was wondering does any body know when this XDA 2 is meant to be coming out, i know it is "before christmas", but i need a more accurate date, beacuse i really want my XDA now and im not sure whether i should just get the XDA 1 now......any ideas?
also, how much will the XDA 2 be on contract? Any good ideas will be welcome...
Thanks in advanced

hi there, I kind of had the same dilemma, but damn it I've got the XDA now.. :wink:
My guess is that the price will be prohibitively expensive at first, and may not be on contract straight away as a result, so you could be waiting a while, there are some good deals around on the XDA now - are you UK ?
Personally I'm thinking of taking the plunge next year, but I'll be waiting until the XDA2 has been around a while like I did with this.. but then will there be something else around the corner ?

yeah...that makes sense...
i really need it now....mainly beacuse i have a lack of a mobile
i am in the uk yes.....where are the best deals then? any good websites? how much you pay for yours?
i will probably by it on contract from o2........
thanks for your help
jay

no worries mate - glad to help..
yeah same again - I needed a mobile and liked the idea of e-mail, but couldn't quite get my head around that plasticky P800.. If you can stand the ribbing from your mates at first, and get yourself one of the ROMS you have got loads of cool stuff..
As for deals, I got my for 209.99 - Although I'm sure thats going down, I price-matched at CPW from a shop in Guildford who had a deal for 235, somehow they went even lower than the price-match to my delight ! (but I have heard that o2/CPW might be dropping the XDA - making an early release on contract for the XDA2 even less likely)

I have 2 XDA's 1 is mine and I have a spare for sale it is ulocked so can be used on any network it also has the latest ROM and Radio Stack.
If you are interwsted let me know by email or post.
Regards your question I contacted O2 they said middle to late December
or early Jan It has a camera as well as Bluetooth. So I am expecting it to be very expensive.

got my XDA for £190 boxed as new was an ex display model had been dropped and had 2 dents abover the ir lens came with everything.
got it from ebay sim free about 9 months ago :\

You can get an XDA from £59.99 depending on contract from:

here are some new leaked xda2 pictures and some german description

Translated to english.......

got mine for £200 off ebay.. boxed and unused

hmm this XDA2 is lookin' pretty good I have to say....

If you go to ebay and search for XDA, you will find a guy selling o2 contract xda phones for £149.

I found out today that the XDA2 will be available in the UK in november there is no idea of price, thay also confirmed that bluetooth is built in and not a add-on option like the WiFi is

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...
Martin

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 ??

The XDA have not yet entry in Italy ...
I'm curious if the XDA II will be disponible to buy in Italy ... else i'll must buy another time from O2 UK.
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:

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.

http://www.ppcw-shop.net/index.php?cPath=20
http://www.expansys.com/d_pocketpc.asp
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).

Where can I XDAII here in the US?

Anybody knows? T-Mobile doesnt carry the XDAII.

www.gsmphonesource.com
That's where I bought my phone, 750 Bones.. Currently cheaper than www.expansys-usa.com Plus it's the T-Mobile MDA II which looks better than the XDA II.. Same hardware though.

NeoCole: MDAII is not listed on the T-Mobile website (under handhelds). I also called T-Mobile and they have no idea what MDAII is. Did you bought it here in US? Thanks

MDA/XDA III
Where can I get info on the up coming XDA/MDA III?
I would like to purchase one but I can't find anything but one picture of it on a Czech website. Its great but where can I get one in the states?
Thanks,
MrBizi

The MDA III/XDA III is pure rumor and speculation at this point. It is NOT a product you can purchase yet, because it is not a product yet.
The XDA II/i-mate can be purchaed at eXpansys.com.
There is speculation that T-Mobile will carry the new iPaq 6300 PDA/Phone sometime later this year, but until I see it on their website, I won't hold my breath on that one either.
HTH!

I got mine at www.gsmphonesource.com, the company is in vegas where I live and was very helpful! Adam (the guy who owns it) even upgraded the firmware in my hbh-65 bluetooth headset to the latest version. (small fee)
I found that if you are looking for the latest GSM phones in the US then adam usually has them or can get them. I check his site regularly to see whats new, as he usually has it first. I have purchased several items from him. p800, p900, mdaII, bluespoon, hbh-60, hbh-65.
Check it out.

there is no way i can get housing for XDA II?

Please guys,
Help me!!

Expect a price shock tho

i think that back housing, battery cover are the same on MDA II and XDA II, right?

Right!
Actually, the whole housing fits the MDA2, i-MATE, 2020, and such since they are all Himalayas!
I remember seeing some place that sells them for about $50 U.S. Dollars but I cant find the link anymore...
