Hi people,
I want to swop my current xda for an xda mk2 and was just wondering if anyone knew a good way of doing this - I Emailed o2 coustomer support and they said that they weren't operating a trade in at the moment but to check back later. However, i'm impatient ;-). Is there anyone whos traded an xda in with a high street shop or will my best bet to be sell it on ebay? On a sort of related point, has anyone found the cheapest site to buy a new xda2 (with contract, want around a £20-£25 a month one)? The best i've found seems to be;
http://www.e2save.com/e2001/php/matrix/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2
on O2 Leisure Time Plus + 100 SMS.
For reference for trade in etc, my XDA is the 64mb version with the latest official o2 ROM, unlocked thanks to the unlock utility from this very site, Good condition (natural wear and tear, marks around the infra red port but still works fine), still got box+manuals+cd+cradle+charger+leather case but not the headset (broke). Comes sim free (still got 1 onth left on 12month min. contract, but willing just to pay that).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark
You would be better to sell it, but make it quick as Ebay is getting flooded with them. Or you could offer it for sale here on the forum, how much you hoping to get for it?
i sold mine 2 weeks ago, as soon as i heard the news that it was available from 1 november in my neighbour country germany, and got one 1 week ago. sold for 250 € and bought one for € 650
Well with the keyboard i was hoping to get around £200 or so. Need that much to make it worthwile to upgrade or I may as well stick with the XDA1.
Decided to put it on Ebay now rather than risk leaving it and the site becoming flooded - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2766011342 if anyones interested
I just sold my xda privately, I got £160 with all the origanal stuff and it looked quiet well looked after, when it's unlocked the "pay as you go" people cant resist the prospect of an unusual phone away from the usual boring nokias, and since my brand new xdaII was only 150 on a £45 p/m contract I`ve got one of the most cutting edge mobiles on the planet, and made a tenner
Just wanted to ask you chaps where was the best place to sell my XDA2 and what it's likely to be worth. It's a few months old - bought it the day it was released but my circumstances have drastically changed and I am now office bound for most of the day, every day!
I have not had it unlocked yet but that's about 5 seconds work with the XDA Deveopers utility.
Also, how do I get out of the O2 contract paying the bare minimum ?
Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi m8, i'll give you £350 for it, Ronnie ([email protected])
2nd user XDA2
O2 shops are doing deal for £330 no contract. Carphonewarehouse will match. Therefore I'd suggest somewhere in the range £250 - £300
look on ebay for guide.
mrg2003, where have you seen the XDA 2 for £330 no contract ?
What stores ? My local o2 stores say they dont sell them without a contract ?
If you could let me know please, a friend of mine wants one.
TIA
is the XDA II still for sale or does anybody know where the best deals are either contract or sim free
sorry chaps !
XDA2 sold long time ago - just been away for a while !!
btw sold for £450.
£350 sale is an urban myth !

For those many people in the US who are unable to buy an XDA Exec locally I have managed to source a new Exec and its on sale here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6457492653&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Please note that if you purchase in the next few days I will not ship until the end of the week.
UKP10 will go to charity
While I truly appreciate your efforts, jah, man, don't you think the postage to the US is a bit too high? I could stomach $55 via FedeX (ala Expansys UK) to the US but that would be in dollars and not UK Sterling.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I have been looking to get an Exec so I thought I would take a look. The postage has thrown me off though.
Thanks.

if i had you "in range" i would have probably strangled your neck by now!!!! Just after i bought my device a couple days back, you pop this post up :evil:
btw, thats a reallllyyyy high user rating you have on ebay
S
Well yeah, it would certainly be cheaper than the $950 you paid for the JasJar. Although, if you know someone in the UK, the Exec can be had for under $620 which is a brilliant price.
Still a good deal for most Americans.
@dreamtheatre, O2 told me I couldn't buy any more Smartphones from them (I have a XDA Exec, Nokia 9500, Treo 650 & SE K750!). But I managed to persuade them and I know people in the US (and elsewhere) are keen to get the Universal in O2 colours! I know people here would really appreciate a device like this. Good luck with your Qtek!
@monakh, sorry man for the P&P but its the only way I can recover the high costs of using eBay and PayPal (I provide a high level of protection through Paypal and therefore safer for buyers).

Guys, I'd like to know how you all go about getting your Hermes and how much you pay for it.
Since I live in a country where is costs like $1000 for the Hermes, I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting it for cheap like it is in the US and UK.
I tried asking a few of my friends in the states to pick up one of the cingular connections which offers an 8525 along with a 2 year contract for about $400, but that would mean they have to get an extra connection.
I've noticed that there are a lot of people who sell these kind of phones on ebay which have been unlocked for around the same price.
Is there anybody you guys would recommend? or is there any other way I can go about getting the 8525 or equivalent for around $400 Brand new.
Hope yu guys can help out ASAP. My friend in the US leaves in another 2 weeks. It has to reach him by then.
Thanks and Regards

Check you PMs
if you're using fido, i'm guessing you're in canada
some local cell phone places can get the hermes relatively for about 700CAD or so, usually the softbank japanese version
you could check craigslist for your area
e.g. vancouver.craigslist.org
see if you can search HTC or Cingular 8525
i'm lucky i got mine from ebay locally though
under 450CAD brand new
@Taurus... Check ur PMS
Anybody else?
Here in HK....a new Softbank unlock with latest Dopod ROM is only USD 380....

Any help would be appreciated.

Ah, the gansta stronghold, as we call it.
Thanks guys...
@ $5 x 24 = $120.00... Really? The only other place I saw that kind of a price was on Amazon where an 8528 was going for about $125.00 with a 2 year Voice and Data Plan from Cingular which at it's cheapest would cost you around $80.00 a month.
Hope somebody else can point me out to a good deal. I'd prefer the M3100. Like our Mr. Activ Moderator pof pointed out... it's looks neat

Yes it's true, around $120... but it's a two year contract. In total the monthly fee is $25 including only 12250 packets and free calls from 1am to 9pm inside the softbank network...
SoftNank in China
I got my SoftBank Hermes 200 phone in China for US$450 unlocked with English ROM.
Managed to find what looks like a decent seller on eBay.
Let's see how it goes. Brand New 8525 for around 450.00
Check this out.

You can shop online thru here. Based in HK.
Hi Henry,
Thanks for the link. I'm trying to avoid the X01's. Looks like this one works up to about USD 550.
I got my Cingy 8525 from Craigslist (SF Bay area) for $400 about 4 month ago
Hi all
I have just received a brand new o2 XDA Exec today (insurance replacement) and do not need it as I have now replaced my xda with something else so before I go down the ebay route with stupidly high ebay fees, scammers etc I thought I would offer people here the chance to buy it.
All I have done since getting it at lunchtime is charge the battery fully, checked it is unlocked with 2 different UK sim cards (it is!) and left everything else in their respective wrappers.
So if anyone is interested in a brand new Xda Exec which is open to all networks worldwide please feel free to PM me or reply to this thread.
Cheers
How much?
I've just broke the screen- I mean some1 has broke my screen trying to fit his bag next to my laptop bag on the plane and...
Anyway, have to buy new ASAP!!
Cheers
Chris
It is BRAND NEW and they are still £500 or more new (if you can get hold of one!) so make me an offer and we can take it from there...
Another guy on here is selling a used one with a GSM / 3G fault for £195 btw so something above that would be a good place to start. I can also throw in a 1GB sd card if you need it too but I imagine you already have everything if yours has only just broke!
I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne btw and can PM you my ebay id etc so you can see I am genuine.
Cheers
As I've just come back form India (4 weeks) I'm little short on cash so what about 180?
How could you possibly be short of cash after coming back from India!!!
I managed to eat out like a King for £2 per day Mmmm Thalis....
Will PM you my ebay id so you can check up on my history etc.
Like I said earlier that other guy wants £195 for a used faulty one and this is brand spanking new, as in perfect, A+++, 10/10, as in worth more than £185 I think...
I will await a higher offer in repsect of the above details as I am not in rush to sell.
Cheers

£2 per meal I guess
70p for a decent Thali off the beaten track so £2 for 3 meals per day is about right
I have put a picture of the xda online here:
cheers
Yeah, 4 weeks in Marriott plus huge shopping. All paid by me.
Anyway, India IS CHEAP!!
Cheers

okay 200 from 1ndonesia.how much is the shipping?
Mine Dopod900/Universal has just died.
195/200 pound or about SGD600 for a Universal is really a steal. I would be glad to have it.
I bought it at 3 times the price here in Singapore when it was out 2 years back. It is selling in Singapore about SGD100 more than the rest of the world when it was launched here just to have a local warranty, which gives me a lot of problem.
But, although yours has a warranty, in case of problem some months down the road, it would be a big problem for repair sending back to UK.
I hadn't thought about sending it overseas due to all the scams etc but if someone wants me to send it overseas then I will find out how much the postage is.
Let me know if you are serious...
Cheers

Thx byeeee
I have PM'd people who are interested and think I can send the xda exec via UPS or similar internationally ok.
If the buyer is UK based the xda will be sent via Royal Mail special delivery which includes insurance and gets to you next working day by 1pm.
I have sent my ebay id to those interested so you can check my details etc but please note no matter whether you are a UK or international buyer the money will need to clear my end BEFORE I send the xda as there are too many scammers out there.
MODS: Shall I supply my details to you for extra buyer protection? Not noticed how people usually sell on here...
