I think the price is for a SIM free MDA Compact which is open to all networks.
They delivered to me in the UK but I'm not sure about outside Europe.
You can buy one in France for 50€? Is that with a subscription/contract?
that is with a contract. i just bought a mda compact (magican) for 28 EUR inkl. a eplus time & more 500 contract from mobilejoker.de.
mobile joker is a waste of time
Don't bother if it's 380 pounds from those jokjers?
Amazon has it for 389 pounds, free delivery, and your buying from a first class vendor which will let you return it etc. all that bull**** to save 9pounds?

I'm sure that's without a contract.

What was total price including delivery, and what did you think of it, as opposed to buying an english i-mate in the UK? Any downsides?

It was about £380 including delivery for the MDA and an 1GB SD card. I preferred that because it'd have cost me £411 for the Imate Jam alone from Expansys.
The only downside is that you have to install the English ROM yourself.
I am going to eat my words
OK, my wife took my Imate, and I went on mobilejoker.de, and yes, delivered in the UK it costs in the 480 Euros, or in the 340GBP range, 50GBP less than Amazon dearest. So sorry for basjing your mobileJoker,
Humbly

Just ordered a german imate jam from mobilejoker - was having a problem when it was being translated on the fly through babelfish, but translated all relevant sections manuallu and it worked fine.
£317 including cash on delivery via UPS. And (I hope) including VAT - the vat figure (translated as "contains value added tax") appears AFTER the Sum Total for some reason.
Can't beat that price - I trust that accurate info from UPS will be delivered to me via a tracking number or whatever, so that I can be in when it's being delivered?
How do you get 317GBP
They charge 50 Euros delivery, + a hidden 15 Euro payment fee (UPS) . How much was yours in Euros out the door??
because if you add back 17%, it comes to 370GBP?
Also, did they not provide a tracking number?

Well they charged me 40€ and not 50€ for delivery. The COD charge is not hidden either.
The phone price does inclide VAT. They don't add VAT to the price.
It would seem that it is now possibe to get an English MDA Compact (not Imate Jam) cheaper than Mobilejoker.
If you get it on this contract, after paying all line rental for 12 months, it'll come to £265

Mikey,
Don't think that you have to pay them in Euros. I thought I would and most exchangers in the UK don't do it at the most favourable rate so I was gonna need £400 for my 544 Euros.
UPS will accept pounds. I wasn't home when they came but my flatmate tells me that the delivery man does some calculation (presumabley using the day's exchage rate) and gives you the pound value. I paid just over £380 for my 544€ purchase.
From www.xe.com it looks like you'll be paying just over £330. I also tells me that using this minute's rate, I'd have paid £374.
You're a genius!
Just ordered it, just as you said, 265GBP, glogged off my XDA2 for 180GBP, and got a spare sim!!! What a joke!

My invoice, sitting in front of me, for my MDA to be delivered to the UK, via UPS, COD. The items are as follows, in this order:
Delivery - 27 Euro
COD - 16 Euro
Total Price - 462 Euro
Includes VAT of 63.72 Euro.
Weird that they have the VAT figure AFTER the total, but it translates as "contains value added tax" or similar, so it looks like the 462 euro price is all in.
Not sure why you're adding back UK vat, and not sure what hidden charge you're speaking of...
mikey and 27, you guys on scancoms payroll?
No! Dude cancel your order though
Read the posts i did for Amazon, this is the second unti I buy, my wife took my imate, I was looking for the cheapest, and these Scancom guys make me laugh. I got the phone DELIVERED for GBP260. + 100 minutes per month sim =guest sim to lend to visitors. The reason why we are getting this is t-mobile quite rightly believe these phones encourage dtat tarrifs...oh sh*t. i hope it's not locked..ahhh! go to go

Hpe not - Last time I checked, t-mobiles data tariffs were terrible. I can't see anything equivalent to Orange World Access bundles of 4, 8, 25, 80, 400 and 1000Mb.
My preference is the 10Mb per month one for 80p per megabyte, Excellent value.

Glad I could help after last week's fierce debate!
I think it's a 1 year warranty with the Scancom deal but that's alright. 2 year warranties for electronics are now part of German consumer law apparently.
Thanks, but I'm worried now
It may be sim locked??? Ouch
What's the cheapest price I can get this for on Pay As You Go or SIM free?
what is "this"?
If you know where to get "this" cheap, I am looking to get "that" cheaply also.

Prices vary, but your best bet (if you don't want or have £675 + to spend on a new JasJar) is to look on Ebay. Some bids are starting at £300.00! But expect the reserve price to be above £500. Having said that, MDA Pro (T-mobile) are knocking them out on contract quite reasonably priced, which means that some JasJar owners might be letting theirs go soon for less than £600.00, but I wouldn't hold your breath!
Once you've got one of these babys, chances are there's no turning back. They seriously Rock! 8)
The Dutch MDA Pro can be bought for about 800 euros, it is a WWE device. Only minor detail: simlocked to T-Mobile Netherlands, but some rumours say that when you buy a contract-free device, you only have to fax them your invoice to get the unlock code for free. I have however not tested this myself, so no guarantees for that!
I got mine (assuming we are talking about the HTC Universal - I my case an imate JasJar) from expansys.com
I went for the £75 per month package which, due to the 50% line rental offer, is only £37.50 per month for a THOUSAND free minutes (on vodafone). This brought the price of the phone down to £117ish......
Hope that helps!
PS -
1 I'm in the UK
2 the 50% line rental offer is only for 6 months, but I rang them to check and you can change your tariff after 6 months
3 The worst thing (no problem for me) is that the contract length is EIGHTEEN months.....
4 Here is a link http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=126341[url]
I just brought a O2 Exec for 565 pounds Not sure if I made the right decision and someone is making a pretty good profit.. But oh well, it's at least cheaper than the Jasjar Should be here in about a week and I guess if I don't like it, I can at least get what I paid for selling it here in Hong Kong
O2 sells it with a 12 month contract, 19 pounds a month, and only 139 pounds for the phone, it comes out 368 pounds i believe total, then you can just cancel there service and keep the phone. But hey its alright.
ehh
12 year contract? that comes to 2736 pounds hehe hefty price for that phone!! :twisted:
Don't you have to pay more if you cancel a contract btw?
hehe using my mda pro which i bought for 500 euros with a tmobile prepaid card until there is a cheap crack to unlock it for my vodafone network :lol:
i ment month lol
Yeah I know, it worked out to be around 357.99 pounds *if* I can get someone in UK to get it for me.. I asked several friends to help and one said he'll have to get back to me... Since I can't wait so I went eBay Figured *if* I can get the 357.99 pounds one from my friend eventually, I could prolly make a small profit to cover my expensive eBoy unit LOL
and around about £200 brand new?
thanks
Probably very hard, Buzz claimed he found some on the web a few days ago for your price €200 I believe. He didn't mention where though. Try to PM him.
As the magician is retired now the shops won't be selling them I guess, at least in The Netherlands they almost all switched to the Wizard.
Success, M

That kind of price is going to be very difficult to find but there are other ways to get closer to that price. My brand new, telecom unbranded, unlocked Qtek S110 (yes 128mb RAM) will have cost me a total of £280 (I bought it in December). Here's how:
1) Signed up to an affiliate program that gives you cash back.
2) Bought the phone on an O2 12 month contract from internet company via the affiliate link.
3) The phone cost me £29.
4) I pay 6 lots of £30 rental per month.
5) At the six month point (or just before) I switch my contract to the cheapest £16 a month rental.
Cost:
Initial outlay = £29
6 x £30 = £ 180
6 x £16 = £96
= £305
minus £25 that I get back from the affiliate network
= £280!
AND, I get 6 months of 200 xnet minutes and 100 messages per month and then 6 months of 25 xnet minutes and 25 messages for free!
And the good thing was that the phone I bought was mobile unbranded and unlocked! But that does depend on the place you buy it from.
Hi guys
Does anyone know of any good deals for the Optimus 7 in Britain? I'll consider both contract and handset only.
Thanks
Vodafone contract
Vodafone are offering the phone free for £30 a month (24Months) or £35 (18months). However if you are an existing customer and been on a higher tariff such as the £40 Blackberry you can negotiate the price down by £5 a month by going through the call centre.
So I've just upgraded and taken an 18 month contract at £30 a month with free phone. This gives me 600 minutes and 500MB.
This is significantly cheaper than other networks are offering a WP7 phone, Orange and O2 are £45 for 18 month contracts. I considered the HD7 and Samsung Omnia but opted to stay with Vodafone as the LG had good reviews and 16GB compared to the Omnia. HD7 looked good if not a little bulky but I wasnt going to pay an extra £270 over the lifetime of the contract.
Has anyone found a place to buy the Optimus 7 sim free in the UK? I've got one pre-ordered from Expansys but they still don't have any details on availability.
I'm tied into my contract with T-Mobile until November (damn 18 month contracts) from when I got my HD2 through mobilephonesdirect.co.uk so my only option is to go sim free. I'm not too keen on buying an unlocked handset from eBay (I've seen a few on there but don't know how much I trust them) - I'd like one stock without any of the Vodafone alterations.
