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.

Need to sell my XDA Exec...

Price: $400USD + Shipping
I was unsuccessful in using the EXEC with Cingular in the US... too many connection issues regardless of which ROM I installed. I have experienced connectivity problems with this unit, including WiFi... though everything appears to be functioning normally, it will not connect.
This unit is sold as-is, in the O2 box with the original materials (Manual, CD, cable, etc.) and is in perfect physical condition. This unit has had a screen-protector on it since purchase and has never been dropped.
I will also consider a trade/partial trade for any quad-band GSM phone by HTC. All reasonable offers will be considered and all questions will be answered, feel free to check out my feedback on eBay (user ID: mwheeler2).
I will ship anywhere, provided the purchaser pays actual shipping costs and the funds are verified before shipment.
Thanks all,
Mick

Selling My Two Universals

I am trying to sell two used Universals.
1. Unlocked O2 XDA Exec (black)
- Everything in good working condition.
- Upgraded to Ranja's latest WM6.1 and working great.
- Come with the following item.
. Black anti-slip skin case
. Two standard batteries (one of them are brand new)
. One 3200mAh extended battery & battery door, normal use for three days without charge.
. One USB docking station for sync & charge.
. One battery charger.
. Two new stylus.
. USB sync/charge cable.
- Used and shows signs of wear.
- Ask for CAD350 shipped to US & Canada (except Hawaii & Alaska)
2. Unlocked i-mate Jasjar
- Working good.
- The only problem is the background of any text display turned slightly yellow. LCD & touch screen working good. I believe it can be easily fixed by tighting the data cable. I got it from ebay and planned to fix it, but toooo busy in my new project to do so. Hope this will be valuable for anyone can fix it, because it is in very good working condition other than this.
- Used and shows signs of wear.

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.
