Hi All. Good news. MDA PRO is definately available in T-mobile shops as of today. My wife bought one today and I've just finished setting it up and have left is to charge.
For anyone interested, it cost: £219.00 on Relax 200 (18 month contract) with 6 months half price line. Wow! Feel like a mug now, bought a JasJar 3 days ago. Well all's well that ends well. We're on different networks, but I also picked up my 3G Sim card from o2 today, so will be testing 3G video calls/conferencing and faster internet connection later this evening. :lol:
Hi!
Have fun and enjoy it!
Yeah I have one too, £259.99 from scancom on uFix 15 (£15/month, 12month contract). Got TomTom 5.1 working on it, this is the most awesome device I've ever seen! :lol:
Disappointed about the lack of MSN Messenger though, gonna have to buy it from M$
Do you know if you can buy it sim free or pay as you go with T-Mobile?
was negotiating for mda pro £200 + web and walk (£30/month = 100min talk + 40MB ) on a 18 month contract.
But only one available in Leeds .. waiting for next Wednesday - Saturday to get two at the same time.
Did not even get a price back even with insurance (£8/month)
no double battery - leather casing -
the T-Mobile guy didn't took me as a serious customers (I'm young ;.. ) so I couldn't play around with the OS as I wanted ... just saw the nice colour of the screen + first boot not even the wm5 start menu or camera quality ..
MDA pro official released is Wednesday with web & walk tariff
02 didn't not have any public release date ( even commercial version ) cheaper for the device but more expensive for the contract
adamdon89:
Don't think they'll ever do them Sim free, but I'd love to be proved wrong!
lilliput:
My Mrs must have been extremely lucky if the official release date isn' till wednesday. Well, the salesman in T-mobile did say that it was the only one that came into the shop.
Why do they play with us so?

I had the feeling it was the only one that they had too.
Because they didn't do like O2 and do a marketing around the mda pro they need a quick other way to tell everyone that it will be there next Wednesday ... and it's working ... (marketing)
and I think also that's the reason why I didn't get any price on it.
Do you think it's valuable to get an insurance (£8/month) on it ?
My local T-Mobile shop told us that they should have it next Wednesday so waiting and see; (I'm going to buy 2 contract hope to reduce a bit more the price)
NB: Once I'll get it my main aim would be to run linux on it
Hi lilliput:
Linux eh? Sounds interesting! A little out of my depth but that's an open source code O/S isn't?
Insurance? Definately a must. I bought myself a jasJar 3 days before my wife bought a MDA Pro in T-mobile and the salesrep recommended insurance @ £7.99 a month. Incidentally, I searched around the net for insurance for my JasJar and was also quoted the same price by most PDA/Phone insurance companies. It's cheaper if you insure a standard phone, but these PDA/Phones are then covered for loss/theft & accidental damage to the tune of £1000.00 So overall, I think it's a good plan. Additionally, after a years of insurance you will be sent a brand new battery for your phone!
Such a small world... :lol: Where did your wife find that Mda Pro? Oxford Street T-Mobile? I was looking for an Mda Compact today and I was shocked when sales woman offered me Pro, she said she just got two of them and someone is picking up one later. It's too big for me though 8)
So anyway, it's easier to find a PRO than Compact :shock:
rottie: She bought it in the T-mobile shop in the Glades, Bromley, Kent. It was the only one that came in to the store on Saturday.
But if you're after a Magician....got the wife's ex-magician on offer with box and all bits and pieces, including 512MB SD card :lol:

T Mobile assure me you're lying and that NO WAY has ANY T mobile store got any, or sold any MDA Pros and won't for WEEKS yet. Oh, and the Norwich store on Gentleman's Walk has one, too. Which must also be a lie.

scancom.co.uk have had them in stock since Saturday, they must be lying too - I have mine in front of me right now :lol:
LIES :lol:
Call me a liar too then :lol:
yep it's Linux is an Open Source (and even more GPL software)
I've seen some really good version for mobile phone and wanted to tried asap.
(apparently I can even test it without uninstall anything )
wait Wednesday to get one .. few hours to wait ... ARGGGGGGGG..
for the insurance if get a battery for free after a year might be worth it.
I was afraid that 40MB/month are not enough.. If you think about it that's just 1MB/day roughly;
What's the extra software that you get with the mda pro ?
(any SD with it ?)
well i just been in the T mobile shop in the trafford center and they sold there last 1 of which they had 2 delivered sold 1 saturday a half hour b4 gutted so they are available but just not 2 me lol
Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get some advise.
I just bought a Tytn II and am now going to sell my T-Mobile Vario II. I was wondering what sort of price I should be looking for one now-a-days.
It's got the original box, but no warranty. I can put my hands-free kit in from my Tytn II as I really don't need it.
I've got the original charger and a USB sync/charge cable are easy to add.
I can also throw in my Tytn II's case. I don't need that either.
It's in near pristine condition. I got it in about April after sending my first one back to T-Mobile for repair. They replaced it instead. However, on the corner is a small, but very obvious scuff which I plan on showing when selling it.
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on what sort of price you would expect to pay for this phone if you was buying it so I can get a rough idea of what to expect.
I'll be putting the Official T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6 on the device and it is unlocked.
i reckon £130, but saying that the official wm6 and unlocked aswell wouldcrank it up if u put it on ebay. dont seel for less than 130 though.
Thanks for your reply.
That kind of price is actually quite a bit above what I was thinking. I was looking at more about £70. Especially considering the scuff on the corner is quite visible with the device being grey and red.
It's not damage which will effect the device in any way shape or form, but it is clearly visible. That's it's only downside.
I'd look at the prices on ebay... On Aussie ebay most Hermes sell for around $200Aud. This is my observation for about 2 months... Watch how they sell on ebay for a week then decide how to go about this.
Most people tend to bid in the last few hours and I've seen a Jasjam go from $55 to almost $300Aud in the course of 20 mins.
I don't know how it is on UK ebay but my advice is watch and learn.
Cheers...

Good advice.
I'd say as well (having sold a couple of phones on ebay) decent descriptions and pictures add more than you would expect to the price, so spend a bit of time writing some decent text and describing the functions in detail.
May as well watch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 - it's a similarly replaced Vario II so should give you an idea of what it will go for, once it completes.
Good luck!

i only paid a £100 for mine 12 months ago and that was virtually new, a midwife had got it on contract and then found it far too complicated to use. £130+ to me is way off the mark. I have tried to buy a few on ebay and they generally sell from £70-£100 depending on the condition , accessories included etc.
PM me with a price as a friend wants one , if you dont want to use ebay. Or if you do pm me the link
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 Someone is taking the piss on the bidding with that one its at a £155 with two days to go, i think someone is pulling his leg.
average price for one if these is about a £100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£110
http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/25809225.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/23/26155423.html <---£75
Thanks for the suggestions,
The item linked by Marsbar is going for a really high price.
To be honest, I think I'll put it on there for £70 with full pictures of it up and working then let it run for 7 days.
I just sold a Samsung Tocco on there (free upgrade from Orange) for £200 on a buy it now. That was done within hours. I think the Tytn could fetch quite a bit more than I anticipated.
hey guys, I have been wanting an Xperia for a while and I finally have enough money to buy one but I was just wondering where was the best place (located in the United States) to buy one? I am on T-Mobile USA so 3G doesn't matter, an X1i will be perfectly fine. I am trying to avoid the 700-800 dollar premium price as I have seen many for 600-650 new.
The best place atm in my opinion is...
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1234846501&sr=8-1
Just a question though, do ALL xperia's come with a 4GB MicroSD? Amazon doesnt specify what the package contents are. I can only be sure of the phone,manual,ac adapter,etc...
ebay would be your best bet. i saw "experia x1" goes around $640ish with free shipping... they are all x1i
place to buy x1
I bought mine on craigs list for 500. People are selling them cause they need the cash.. The guy had it listed at 600. He took 500 without any question.
I love hard eco times
ah I have been looking on craigslist for weeks! No one has an xperia for sale in my area (Sacramento, California)....
if the international versions do not have US warranties, how will the warranty work? I'm sure there has to be some kind of warranty in place.
oops ...mods please delete
yoou should be able to find it cheaper from
uk ebay
handtec
clove
shipping may be more expensive than you think
I got mine for 630 on ebay like a week ago.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=140299796562
edit: just noticed that seller raised it to 650. on the 9th it was 630 though. haha.
my x1
i just got one off thease on ebay for £350 uk pound and went and picked the phone up i love this phone
got mine for 370€ (solid black, no branding, new) on ebay.de
I am just wondering how many Xperia X1 have been sold out all over the world ?
Is the number somewhere near 1 mil ?
CAn we safely assume that 10% of all users on XDA have an X1?
I would not assume that 10% of all XDA-Dev members have an Xperia X1.
I dont know how often this phone is sold but when I look how many people
are currentlyviewing the phone threads the Touch HD is always best visited.
Greets,
p.s. used google? Once I saw a news that showed the numbers...
remember a while ago SE announce that the XPERIA was selling "well" said sony
hehe , 10% is a great success for Sony if its true ^^.
But as i can see , the X1 section on XDA have a quite large amount of posts and page-view ,though X1 is quite new , so the number of X1 must not be small
Bump for "I want to know too".
I doubt it's very high.
I have recently noted it being promoted in Carphone Warehouse in the UK, which is a very positive development. Not sure if the subsidized prices in the UK are enough to move a lot of units...???
Can't comment on most of the rest of the world. Not sold through any carriers in North America, though rumoured to be coming on Rogers this sooner (not sure if that's still valid).
It will get killed by the Touch Pro 2 soon...
i live in New York City, amd i havent met one person whom has an x1...and i also work for At&t and see tons of phones from EU and Japan, but 0 x1's
go figure...
i do have 1 though.
X1 sold
Hi everybody,
I already met 6 people here in Cologne Germany having one and two more telling they would get one when their contracts will be due.
Since it is rather expensive that is understandable.
I hope it spreads more - I really like the combination.
im in the uk (isle of wight - small island at the bottom)
and i have 2 other friends that have it.
so thats 3 people including me that i know have it here (and thats just close friends) so i think in the uk its sell well.
i think its probally not selling as well in the us as it is in europe
the x1 would have to be the biggest flop ever.... i have not ever seen one other person with an x1 and i travel between sydney, brisbane and melbourne often. not 1!
worst $1500AUD i ever spent and i feel ripped off by SE.

u did get ripped off. worked it out that $1500aud works out £750 in real money. u can buy a new sim free x1 in black for £400 or in silver for £450 online in the uk and only £550 if u buy it in a shop on the high street. u paid well over the top for it.
here in SWE, i've seen quite a lot since it was launched back in Oct.
I am really big fan of HTC HD2, but I still get tired with my old Omnia i900. Yesterday searching the Internet I found HD2 in very strange price - 567 PLN (about 185 USD). And my question is: should I try and buy this one or look for any more expensive? Should I trust this seller?
As device is 4yrs old that price is possible for old stock, I buy them around 90USD for 100% working clean examples with void stickers still present ...
Hm... I forgot to write it's completely new. So it is really, really strange.
I can buy new old stock for about same here in Thailand, seems about right to me. At HD2s age you get no HTC warranty & it is old hat hardware by today's standard, they need clear them & HD2 demand is not so high these days so prices have fallen.
So do you think I should buy this one?
No idea as not seen the retailers details, if has some form of buyer protection & return policy then might be worth it as buying used HD2's is only good if can be hands on with device prior to purchase as eBay etc are full of the sh1te used devices.
I sure would not want spend more on a new old stock 4yr old handset with known digitiser & bga failings.

I am not recommended you to buy this. Because i think it also old. You did not get same version from old version...
You'll try to buy an used item on ebay.. it's an old funny phone.. but I bought a Nexus 4 for that price!
great post

i am wondering anybody is still using this device today
I have still 2 HTC HD2 at home.
At the one the screen is broken and in the other the mainboard seems to have a problem.
Actually i wanted to join them. But since i have a Moto G, the HD2 is nearly completly out of my Head.
But i had really nice 4 years with this device.
Do you really want to spend this much money on such a old device?
I don't know. I would really recommend you not to do that.
If you are a dev, then it is maybe ok, but as a simple user...?
I think the times are nearly over or not? But if your money is falling out of your pocket
As i said did not follow HD2 since 5 months. I would reccomend you to buy a Brand new Moto G.
Google converted middel class Hardware phones to low class price phones. Excellent!
looks like a used phone to me.
