I can tell you how to get a new XDA Exec for less than £300. But you need to PM and I will tell you how. Also you MUST promise to donate £10 to a children's charity. This is the only condition I have. I will not profit from this myself.
I already know how to do this @ £380, but I think you should give the information up and request people that use the advice donate £10 to charity !!!
I may have a way that will get a GPRS card + an MDA Pro for £270, and then subsequent MDA Pros for £235 a piece... but it's a bit of a gamble :wink:
Actually, with the 14 day cooling off thing, it's barely a gamble at all 8)
Okay Ice, I trust people who use this information to donate money to a children's charity. Please, its nearly Christmas.
What you need to do.
Go to an O2 store and ask for the XDA Exec on the Data 5 tariff and take an old mobile phone with a charger for a trade-in.
Here is the calculation:
Exec: £230
Trade-in: -£50
Data 5 x 12: £9.40 x 12 (£113)
Total cost: £293
Remember that £10 to charity!
The alternative way...
Buy a T Mobile Communication Centre
http://www.directmobilephones.com/communication_centre.htm
Now, although it says £25/month, that may not be the case...
I bought one of these a little over a year ago (when it was £15/month). Turns out, the line rental was just under £3 and internet access was a flat fee of around £11 on top. Now, if this is still the arrangement, then you can get on a tariff that's only £3/month and this is the key to getting a cheap MDA.
The early cancellation fee is your line rental for the remainder of the contract. I found this out by mistake - I had a row with T Mobile and said I wanted my money back and would go to O2. They told me "your early cancelation charge is £32". I started saying "No way am I paying to cancel when you misold this to me... hang on, that's cancel the contract and walk away, the handset remains mine?"
"YES" they replied.
So, I'm now out of contract and they sent me an unlock code (on request) but never charged me for that. I've not actually terminated my contract (although I can now without further charge or notice) so, technically, I may be eligable for an upgrade!
If you use this method, £10 to McMillan's cancer nurses, NSPCC or, indeed, XDA Developers please.

Can you trade in any phone even if it is simlocked and can not be used with an O2 simcard? And how about the condition of the phone. Even with scratches?
can you do this if you live in ireland, can u go to england and buy one but buy yourself out of the contract staight away
@simba,
I tradded-in an Orange phone which had a few scratches.
Please remember to donate to a charity if you use information in this thread to get a good deal on your Exec/MDA Pro

No problemo!
data 5 tariff
CAn you tell me what a data 5 tariff consists off ? and i wonder how long it will take them to catch on!
Thanks John.
jdoherty, the Data 5 tariff has no voice minutes but it does include 5 MB of data. Look here for more info: http://www.o2.co.uk/business/tariffs/datatariffs/0,,203,00.html
My plan is to use my Exec to receive calls and for email & web and probably use my Treo 650 for outgoing calls as I have a normal voice data SIM in my Treo.
Don't forget that donation.... (PS I gave £20 to www.DEC.org.uk, just a hint)
data tariff 5
Thanks JA, If I buy I wont forget the donation. But don't think no voice mins no good to me. I know you could probably unlock the device and move to pay as u go. thanks John
exec doesnt lock at all, anyway, someone use your info to make benefit, such ashamed

It is such a sad world we live in - we have mobile phones and a roof over our heads and there are people in Asia at the moment that are facing hardship because of he earthquakes. I hope "ak-uk", the seller on ebay, gives a good slice of his/her profit to a charity
Edit: is there a way we can identify ak-uk? Can we get his/her forum/member name?
Great news. ak-uk will be donating his money from ebay to charity. Thank you. Sorry for my previous post.
Great news. ak-uk will be donating ALL his money from ebay to charity. Thank you very very much.. Sorry for my previous post.
He sent me an email also, really grateful to see that, hope your idea will reach people's heart, I personally will support, thanks for such kindness of yours.
Thank you all for the precious informations, but concerning the trade-in
what are the acceptable mobiles to be traded, thus I want to know if we pay the entire sum, do we get it unlocked directly?
I'll will not forget the charity donation.
Ram!
@ramram,
1. it appears the XDA Execs are all unlocked as I tested my one with a Vodafone 3G SIM
2. the trade-in is not by cash discount. O2 will send you a cheque for £50 within 28 days. Remember you only a mobile phone and charger.
So no-one has take an Exec on the 02 50 plan thru the student thing ??
109 for the Exec plus charges ??
Works out at about 320 quid ish ??
Hello Pau
I desired to unlock my M3100. I sow in the net your softwere but I was a bit afraid to do it with a free software

So I decided to purchase a software on ebay
They say they are authorized re-seller of the software
I found they sell the same software of you, even old version
If the money I pay are really sent to you, it is ok, but if not I will open ebay dispute with this seller.
You do a great job, i do not desire that someone use your job to make money...

Thx man 4 share
Hi guys,
I’m new here and I’m about to buy the HTC HD2 from RadioShack (at my local T-Mobile is sold out) but I have some questions that just came up to me while watching some videos. Here there are…
What exactly are the ROMs? Updates?
Can the custom themes or tweaks (I think) cause any problem to your phone?
Does Windows Messenger runs on HTC Sense or WinMo 6.5?
Does anyone know where I can try this phone? I mean, at T-Mobile (and RadioShack) all they have is the phone with no battery and a huge sticker on it, so I don’t think they let you try it.
Thanks.
ROM is a file that installs everything on your phone. It's like a Windows 7 disk.
Yes, tweaks can cause problems.
Yes, messenger runs on Windows Mobile 6.5. HTC Sense is not an OS, it's just an interface.
To try the phone, go to a t-mobile store. All the t-mobile stores I've been to here in Seattle, WA had HD2s that you could try out.
Also,
Don't get it from "The Shack", here in Chicago, it costs $250 with an extension as compared to $200 from T-Mobile. Most of the T-Mobile stores here in Chicago didn't have the HD2 in stock, so I went to the only Best Buy that sells T-Mobile phones and got it for $200. I was even able to use my reward zone card.

Same here. I got it from TMO, which will give you a nice 45 day return policy if you are a Platinum Rewards Member. They usually don't have working displays though. You can also try Walmart.com since they can get it to you for $99 tax free, and free shipping and activation (if I am not mistaken).
Then, you can follow my little guide on how to get out of the contract and pay a lot less per month
I disagree, the RadioShack in my area carried the HD2 for $149 with upgrade, which is far better than $199 that T-Mobile is charging.
Calling around to purchase a new HTC HD2 from T-Mobile and they are saying that they do not have any in stock. I live in MI. Checked the Internet to find any deals and cannot see any unless you are open to a new plan. I have a family plan now and just want to get 1 HD2 to replace one of my other phones. Has anyone found any special deals? Thanks in advance.
HD2 Purchase
Go to Craiglist in your area...they will be there for $400
Hello all,
Does anybody know how to buy apps from Marketplace using phone bill. I have pay as you go with T-Mobile and have some balance. I want to use that balance to buy applications. Is that possible? Thanks!
Best regards,
Not possible at the moment, credit card only.
No ms points, no paying through bill, no gift cards, no virtual credit cards....
Only made in US credit cards..
It sux, but that's the way it is for now..
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
