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.

MDA Vario for sale

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
Zathras

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.

I've put my "terms of engagement" here:

So you want to get back the price you paid including postage AND they have to pay postage? Hmmmm, I can see lots of buyers stampeding towards you for that one, especially as only the original purchaser gets support for the item....
Richard

I said offers for around £38 didnt mean Exactly £38 did I. Original Buyer gets support so will the buyer aynt it? All they have to do is plug in the USB and then open the software and click support. Isnt It? Even if they dont get support, you just logon on to the XDA Developers FTP server and download the certain flash you need and then extract them files using winzip or winrar and then Open up the JAFWM software and hit flash simple as that.
Price changed to £33 Including Shipping.

XDA EXEC Screen Needed!

As above dropped it and made bits of the screen would anybody have one available and how much?

I have a orange spv 5000, identical device as xda exec just different branding. so I believe you can tear open the screen and use it. Everything is fully functioning about this phone except the microphone for this phone is dead.
so you could buy this phone as a PDA or tear out whatever parts you needed.
I'm asking for 120$ or best offer
I live in the U.S., shipping is free to U.S., if you live in europe, add 15$ please.
Thank you, look forward to your response

A couple of Ebay sellers have them for around $120 - $130 (US) I remember a board member getting one in Europe for around $70 -$80 (US). Search the forum for details

I have a full unit ( o2 black/ grey casing) - screen in prefect condition
2 batteries ( one new non o2 though) + all the original bits
But it won't boot past first screen - either a power or boot issue
( hence I know screen is ok )
You can have the lot for £xx inc pp to UK
----
edit
its working again now , so sorry not available for spares ( although would sell for £150 inc an o2 sim card with £10 credit and over 10 months worth of free 3g data included

zer037 sorry I havent come back to you sooner havent been able to get online for a few days. I have got the screen sorted thanks for the offer.
