Can I buy XDA Exec in the U.K. without being O2 customer? That is just pay and go without being an O2 customer or a U.K. Citizen..
I am thinking of going to the U.K. just to purchase a machine.
My girl is going to Germany next month and I know Jasjar can br purchased there as well but I wouldn't want a german keyboard.
Of couse you can. But won't your phone just get blocked when you have it back in Turkey.

what is the point of going to uk in order to get exec??..loads of e-stores sell them or check out ebay.co.uk
cheers, cudo
Hello,
TO: kevino
They no longer block phones in Turkey. They stopped doing so about 2 weeks ago.
TO: cudo
The point is not to pay outrageous taxes and be tourched with Turkish customs for 8 hours.
Anyway,
Where is the cheapest place to purchase it in the U.K. ?
Or cheapest online store? I don't mind buying the Qtec 9000 since it's the same thing.
I still think that the best way is to get one off ebay..and the seller may send it as a gift so there is gonna be no tax and custom. the other thing is ebay is the cheapest
Find someone in UK you trust with £300 and have them buy it for you.
Then have them ship it to you as a gift. You can then prove that you aren't to pay customs on it with one phonecall to your friend. Your friend in the UK can phone Turkish customs and tell them that it was bought off ebay by them as a gift for you, without mentioning the money that you sent them for it.
If you would like the numbers of some really nice Turkish people over here that might help you out (and actually speak your language lol) I can send you them I have a few Turkish friends that would be trustworthy with that kind of money.
Of course, this assumes that you trust me to give you other people's numbers and not be pulling a fast one on you to grab your £300 ...
It is all about trust, isn't it?
Doing it this way has to be cheaper than flying over here just for a phone.
Gift exemption only appies under a certain value. Unless you are willing to take the chance of declaring the value as about £20, you'll probably still get taxed.
BUT, if you DO take that risk and declare it as low value, they may pull it anyway and question why a device like that is only worth £20.
Your choice
hi preditor.
thank you so much for getting back to me...
i sent you a PrivateMessage let me know..
thanks.
They told me they did but that was a few months ago. Anyone enquired recently and been accepted/turned down for LCD replacement for £45 on the Universal?
Oh and if anyone has a spare/used good LCD screen let me know!

Carphone Warehouse cannot directly repair any MDA XDA or SPV smartphone it usually goes back to the manufacture or network for the actual repair. best way to get quoted lead times and cost is to use the website and find the local Express repair centre. The other options would be to call their sales line and ask to be put through to repairs, or if you dont' mind a non geographic number dial 0870 0870 167 and that is the direct number for repairs they should be able to tell you roughly quoted prices and lead times based on make and model.
Thanks, will do. Why based on make/model? They were advertising 'any make/model lcd replaced, £45 all in'
PDA phones are specialty phones that also includes the blackberry.
specialty meansing really they are PDA's first not just phones
and that has alot to do with it, the other is the manufacture/network agreement. since O2/t-mobile/orange/vodaphone rebranded the htc phones, they became the manufacture in those cases. I'm betting this is why Orange is droping the SPV branding in replacement for the HTC logo on the same phones hehehehe
Just called them, my local branch in Nottingham. They still do fixed price phone screen replacement but the XDA Exec is in the higher band now and is therefore £85 to have repaired, formerly £45 but no longer.
Ahhhh well.
Looking for a broken XDA with good screen, Greg.
I have a Brand New LCD you could fit yourself if interested it's £35 plus £5 postage

I am currently in US for the next 3 weeks and I am traveling to Australia for one month (perth).
I want to buy the HTC HD2 and I was looking over the Internet to find a good deal...
I found several sites that deliver unlock devices with the price of 180-300$, what I think that those sites are selling a Chinese devices, I don't want to buy a fake device...
I found on froogle (google) the following store for 450$ for unlock device:
http://www.google.com/products?q=htc+hd2&price1=400.00&price2=450.00&lnk=prsugg&show=dd
the store is http://www.xmassupply.com/servlet/the-8/HTC-HD2-Smartphone-Black/Detail
Did anyone knows this store ? are those devices are real HTC HD2 devices ?
Well I want to buy the device but not a fake one.
The best place to buy it, would probably be from expansys or Clove in the UK, and get it shipped to you. That will probably be the most reliable option.

You could always sell it via eBay or some other popular auction site. I recently purchased a brand new HD2 from eBay for £275.00 in total. I have not modded it yet but will do in time. Im currently planning to sell my HD to make some money back but if you are going to sell your HD, the sonner the better, especially because the value of the HD is dropping rapidly
Hi,
I have been using LEO more than 1 year and I was very happy with it. But I faced with many problems with my LEO in last 2 months. I never used any costom roms during first one year. Generally I carried it in my back pocket (now I suggest you, don't do that.) . 2 months ago it reset itself and restarted like first start of winmo, it prepare itself for first use. I lost many data at that point , then I think that this was a chance to try custom roms and android. I load a custom rom and android in SD card, all was ok for a few days, but then I started get SODs and WSODs several times in a day. I apply many things that I learned from this forum ( by the way thanks everybody really I learned many many things about HD2) task 29, task 2a, auto backlight off, hard reset, soft reset, original ROm loading etc etc:
What I have done when I got SOD,
-remove battery,
-place battery,
-Then sometimes it worked as expected but more times I got WSOD,
-when I got WSOD (at the begining installing custom rom via usb were ok but last 2 weeks it wasn't enough) then I perform task 2a, tak 29, then I install original ROM from SD card,
-then I perform HSPL,
-install radio (generally 2.14.50...)
-install costum rom
-then all become ok.
But then a few hours later I got SOD again
I suddenly realize that when HD2 a litle bit bended ( like in my pocket when I was walking) SOD occured. I observed a litle more than I decide to dissasemble HD2( because it has no warranty ), I couldn't find any cable or connector losen. It is strongly possible that Main board defected while in my pocket.
I searched forum and I find one who has same problem and he/she replaced Mainboard then he/she never get SOD anymore.
So please help me where can I buy a mainboard for HD2? I prefer buy it online, because I am sure that I can't buy it in Turkey.
Thanks for your help.
you are going to have to google that one or send your phone to htc for repairs
i dont think you can get hold of one other than from htc themselves!
i also put my hd2 in my back pocket...it fits perfectly doesn't it ?

yeap it fits perfectly,
I sent it to service, 2 days later they sent me a text message " mainboard defective, it have to be replaced and its cost will be 450 USD" ofcourse I reject it. So I have only one possible solution: selling it for parts on ebay or local online shopping pages.
By the way thank you.

If you bought your htc from UK, ok you have warranty in UK. But in my case I bought it when I was in US, then I came back to Turkey, and my phone hasn't warranty in Turkey and I will not visit US in the near future.
If you know someone in the UK theres this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-HD2-Mobile-Phone-Screen-Cracked-/130452670122?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item1e5f95c6aa

You can get one from HTC
More real modality is to buy from eBay a damaged T8585 for parts (i.e. with damaged sensor but able to boot and make calls).
i bought my HTC HD2 motherboard from gadgetsaving.com and it work perfect. they had it for the lowest price on the net. shipping was fast and the motherboard came with a 7 day money back

Would be a good idea if the site wouldn't take me all the way to check out, asked to enter a country and a region, then proceeded to tell me they only ship in USA and Canada.
I am also looking for motherboard, had been looking for quite some time too, I check eBay and such regularly, but it all comes to the seller's unwillingness to send to New Zealand. Willing to pay $85, but nobody is willing to send
Despite what some people are saying you can not buy parts directly from HTC themselves.
Excerpt from HTC repair website:
Q: Can I just buy the parts and fix my own phone?
A: We do not sell any parts directly. Link found here.
Your best bet would be to price match parts and seller reviews from Ebay and Google.
Try eBay people sell there's for parts
U need send me pm
