Morning All
I hope I'm not violating the code of conduct of this very useful forum by posting a "for sale" notice, but I'm fed up with ebay scammers/timewasters and thought a directed post here might attract bone fide buyers.
I recently tried to upgrade my phone to an MDA Vario II with T-Mobile UK and was unsuccessful due to some dweeb in a call centre 'following the rules'. So I bought a brand new one off ebay. About a week later, having complained to T-Mobile, they called me back and apologised, offering me a free upgrade...
Great - so now I have 2
I paid £320 for it on ebay but will let it go for £300 to anyone who wants it. PM me if your interested, and we can arrange a "buy it now" ebay listing with PayPal etc (to ensure all parties are protected).
It's brand new, boxed, all standard accessories included - branded for T-Mobile UK. UK buyers only thanks.

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.

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.
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,

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.

Hi
I've got a brand new (as of midday today) MDA Vario for sale. It was an unwanted upgrade as I've already got one on another line. Brand new, opened only to test it was working and to charge, I've got the receipt with today's date on, all the packaging etc.
Looking for £335 inc postage or £325 collected from central London (West End) or SW London (Fulham/Putney area), which includes a £10 donation to these very forums should I sell it through here
Thanks for looking

Is this unlocked? I'm very interested in it.
What do these go for then? I'm about to sign for a Web'n'Walk tariff as it fits my needs. I can get either a Vario or (for £150 extra) an MDA Pro. Whichever handset I get, I don't need it (my managerie includes a Universal, two XDA Wallabies and a Canary) so I intend to sell it.
1) What's pretty much the min price I'd get for a quick sale of a brand new, locked Vario? Either posted here or ebay buy-it-now?
2) Can the Vario be unlocked easily yet or would I need a code from T Mobile?
3) Anyone interested?
There's one on Ebay up at £360 and climbing without breaking a sweat: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/i-mate-K-JAM-...ryZ32242QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I've not seen many others for sale, but am not bothered about making profit - I just want to match the price of my contract - so don't want to go through the hassle of ebay. Also, I really would prefer not to have to ship abroad.
I don't expect to cover my contract expenses (I'm going for a higher tariff), but if someone wants to make me an offer, I'll be buying either a Pro or a Vario towards the end of this week or start of next week. You can choose: brand new, unopened or I could open it up and test it works before shipping it.
I WILL ship anywhere, apart from Nigeria, but will only take Paypal payments. PM me if interested.

Hi all
I am Selling my G3 wizard and thought I would offer it up on the xda-dev forums first:
it is a G3 T-Mobile MDA Vario I handset, UK version.
NOT A SINGLE THING WRONG WITH IT. it has been running TNT versions of WM6 most of its life, prior to which it was running Faria's rom.
it is Fully boxed with everything, including two Spare stylus (so you get three stylus' in total)
I am in the UK so preferably only UK buyers
I am looking for around 90-95 GBP as they're going for just more than that on ebay
let me know if theres anyone interested, preferably via PM
only issue with it is that the grey paint on the sides has almost all worn off, otherwise, has had a screen protector on it from new and its its in fantastic condition!
may also include a 2gb MINI SD card if the buyer so wishes.
Thank you
