Where can I get an SIM free XDA2?

I want an XDA2!!
Sooner than later. Will settle for an imate or Qtec2020
Anyone got any ideas?

I would personally buy an Imate.
I bought mine from www.compume.com
or Arne is a great guy and has them in stock www.ppcw.net

I should of explained more.
I need 16 before Friday
Then another 500 sooner than later..
(UK based is also pref.)

wow
lol
well most places i've seen carry then without simlocks are small online and stores and such and i would very much doubt they could supply 16 that fast
maybe if you went to o2 or tmobile you could buy a pile and get them unlocked and without sim think they often sell them with that option but you have to pay alot! more

O2 and tmobile wont do that :x
Anymore idea??!?
Thanks in advance.

well maybe orange here they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and if you want to buy it wihtout a subscription
they cost 928.597 GBP a pop
so if you want 16 it's 14848 GBP
a bit on the pricy side if you ask me though

Not an ideal option but might be one to go down.

not sure if orange uk ofer them yet though cant see it on their site

Contacted Dangaard Belgium.
There seems to be a production problem for the moment with the 2020.
No units available (high quantities) until half february.
If you like, I can inform for T-Mobile MDA II (same device), but they will have a German manual (English ROM, simlock free).

Hi there we can do them for you (o2 XDAII) but we can unlock them for you for £450 each let me know
[email protected]

Buy the t-mobile MDA2 sim free, (german version) and then upload the new rom from T-mobile NL which makes the machine perfect uk usable
Machine is only €799,- sim FREE and there are lodes of them
NO PROBLEMO

take a trip into manchester airport terminal 3 get a ticket for plane and go into the departure lounge they got a tax free dixons they sell the XDA locked to bt ofcouse but no contract for £500ish

you can easily lock them yourself.... the software is in this forum!!

I-Mate K-JAM vs Qtek 9100

Is there any obvious reason why the K-JAM is about £60 ($108) more expensive than the 9100? I'm assuming they're either made in the same factory or the same "blueprints" are given to each company to make the device. If this is the case then I'm guessing I-Mate is just playing off of it's well established brand name... or maybe there are just some software differences.
Thoughts?

The only thing I can think of is the support you get from I-mate. Now I know its not great but have you tried to find an English support site for the QTEK..

Hehe, this is true.

TBH I've not been able to work out what the 'offical' qtec site is... They all seem to be too naff to be a corprate site.
Is it http://www.qtek.fi/ ?
Terran

I _think_ its the .fi site. Usually foreign websites are all naff (I mean look at anything .com.tw).

found this site, but can't speak swedish
www.qtek.nu

A better site but "distributör för Qtek-produkterna" not them
Still - I have to say the lack of web site etc has convinced me that the extra £50 or so and 1 year warrenty instead of 2 is worth it in the long run so I'll probably get an Imate.
Terran

can we have a list of best price/dealer for the qtek 9100 and the imate k jam sim free, from all purchasers to be in the uk?
qtek 9100 on buymobilephones.net £429 inc vat
imate k-jam amazon.co.uk £449 inc vat
anyone found better deals?
thanks for any replies.

Qtek 9100 on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £410.08
I-mate K-JAM on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £468.83
I've ordered the Qtek from above back when it was only £400 (they raised the price by £10 pre-tax!).
Hrm, £449.99 for a K-JAM, thats a very good price indeed. If I trusted that Amazon would get stock early I'd probably change my order.

for a change i have to be patient, going on holiday next week, so wont place an order untill i get back :lol:

wowo new low price £349!!!
international shipping ?

the more i think about it, i would prefer to get the i-mate k-jam, due to the availability of support.
with this type of product you are more likely to have a software problem than a hardware problem, two years is great but probably not as useful as support.
i still cannot find on-line support for qtek in english
note for rookery, do you know anyone in the UK who could order and post to you? that way no import duty cause it's a gift.
p.s. amazon.co.uk is still showing better price for imate k-jam £449 inc vat

How about Qtek 9100 vs Tero 700w ??????
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000867059961/

Thats excluding VAT.
£349*1.175 = £410.075 -> £410.08
I doubt you could get them to ship it internationally/ avoid VAT.

Yes, it will cost £349 + £35 shipping around HK5500 when it ship to me, earlier, i think this device will only cost USD4xx, but now it cost much than that, reconsider to get one or not, for me, HK5500 for just a phone, not so reasonable, Thanks for the information

no wifi = no buy AGREE
yes, it has a touch screen

Amazon is good but they don't indicate when they will get stock !! If you are a patient person for a new PDA then it's worth waiting at least a month or so before buying as the price always drops.
If your anything like me though waiting a couple of months after release would be detrimental to my health :lol: .
Imagine , you are walking down the road one month after release on your nokia because you sold your Jam to fund your new K-Jam, you turn the corner and there is a guy chatting away on his brand new K-Jam :shock: Nooooooo !!! I'd rather eat Liver :wink:

Where to buy an O2 XDA ATOM?

Hi guys im after an O2 Atom or HP version of it, can some one recommend a website (besides fromebay) that I can buy this from?
Thanks

Well, there aren't really that many places that will ship to the UK, and provide a really good price for an Atom.
I was hoping to get mine from expansys, but, I ended up buying of ebay.
Although I did, I got it for the cheapest price, brand new shipped from Japan, and had it within 5 days of purchase.
It comes with the full O2 warranty too, which was a plus, and I've had no problems with my Atom since I got it.

Is this phone sim locked? What cost would be good to buy from Ebay!
AS

Hi guys,
I am living in Hong Kong and easily can get BRAND NEW O2 Atom (& accessories).
Email me ([email protected]) if you need my help :wink:
cheers!!

Hi baubauba, I'm going to make a trip to HK soon again, just wonder do they already have standing sync'n'charge cradles and spare batteries for Atom?
May be you know?

Cradle & Battery for Atom
Hi socialworkersmith,
Spare battery for Atom is available, however, first time to hear cradle for Atom - is that official item from O2 or just 3rd party stuff?

I'm in Hong Kong rite now....went to Mongkok the other nite, and saw the myraid of handphones from everywhere...yup, and the WHITE Atom (otherwise officially named as Atom PURE) is in town.
I believe the functionality is the same as the original ATOM, just colour wise, it is pure gleaming white.
Is USD760 from those shops in Mongkok? Heard most items selling there are parallel imports, stolen or 2nd-hand. So buyers beware.

Hi henrylim,
Go to big chain store like Fortess, Broadway, CSL, PCCW, etc. The normal price range is now HK$5,600-5,900.
As always, do pay special attention if the selling price is significantly & suspiciously lower than normal range - that is true anywhere in the world.

Hi henrylim,
Go to big chain store like Fortess, Broadway, CSL, PCCW, etc. The normal price range is now HK$5,600-5,900, absolutely trust-worthful!!
As always, we have to pay special attention if selling price is significantly & suspiciously lower than normal range - either you are smart enough or others are smarter than you...... normally, it is the latter case :wink:

I bought mine together with a Kingston 1 GB flash card at US$ 750 in HK, in that large computer store... you know where it is, don't you?

Best way to get a Hermes cheap!!!

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
Lee

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....
Go to Sintat, Mongkok

Anything that I can get online???
Something that is Brand New and doesn't cross $400 to 500?
Any help would be appreciated.

ah fuk, i got mine for $525 CAD LNIB

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...
