XDA IIs for sale -cheap-

Check Ebay under the name microbomb, I'll be listing 6 or 7 used but fully functional demo XDA IIs for a $600 buy now price. There's one on there right now that doesn’t have a battery or any OS loaded for $350. Ill be listing the other ones shortly so if you want a good deal check it out.

someone bought the one wiht no OS, the others will be posted soon

Hi,
When you listing the other ones? I'm looking into getting one of these.
thanks

Hey guys, ok sorry it took so long, but I now have one xda II posted on ebay under Crimsondie. I cant do Buy now auctions because im new at ebay and I guess I have to sell 10 items before I can do that so I set the price at $600 and made it a short auction. Good luck. :wink:

I'm lost.
Your first account has 18 feedback which means you could do a Buy It Now. But now you switched to an account that has been dead since Jan/Feb or something.
What's the catch? Who on this board has actually bought from you? Can we get testimonials? I think it is only fair since you are selling out of warranty (how can that be when it's only a demo) and old ROM devices.

Selling 2 EVO's (sad)

Hey guys, I have two EVO's I'm trying to get rid of. They both have brand new 8gb sd cards in them and are both in PERFECT condition. I have the hard sedio case with belt clip. Also have a pink HTC silicone case that can go with them. One is rooted and the other is not. I'm asking $300 for one or $550 for 2. Pretty good deal. PM me if you are serious about getting them and we will talk further.

[Q] Cheapest Trustworthy Site IN UK

Hey everyone.
Currently have a HTC Hero. Want to get the Desire Z/G2.
Does anyone know any good priced UK sellers?
So far my best option seems to be Play.com, just wondering if its available elsewhere for cheaper?
Ive googled but most of the sites Ive never heard of/seen/or used before so I am a bit edgy...
Cheers everyone! Hopefully Ill be a proper member of the G2/Desire Z brigade soon!
(No, Im not going to import it unless someone can give me a really really really good reason to)

Its a good phone,I got mine off amazon but in the space of 2 days went up in price by 50 quid!
Nothing against amazon but as I found out when I tried to transfer my phone insurance over they would not touch it as they class Amazon as a "2nd hand" dealer even though they sell new stuff as well,good service and I thought 250 for it new was fair, just be mindful about the insurance angle

Thanks! Thats why I didnt want to import really, most insurers will class it as a 'grey import' and not touch it (Ive had the same with camera equipment)
Im guessing Play would be treated as not being a 2nd hand dealer surely...?
I would get a second hand one, but not sure what versions will be locked down and unrootable (if there are versions that are locked down?)... A couple are available locally on gumtree etc for between £190-£210, I wouldnt get insurance, but Ive always babied my Mobiles so may just go without...hmm...

A bonus of getting a second hand one may be that it is easier to root,i think the newer phones were causing problems to root(I think they have sorted it out) I know what worked for me,
Hopefully welcome to the Desire Z brigade

If I were you, this late in the life of the Desire Z, I'd just buy a refurb unit or used from another person. It's really not worth the price that they will be charging online at this point.
Not sure about the UK market for DZ's, but in the US the going price for a used G2 is in the $200-$250 range.

I brought my dz from www.handtec.co.uk. they seem trustworthy and prices were very good.
The XDA app now has a thanks button. Please use it

I have seen them on simply electronics website in UK for 248 pound brand new, i bought a camera from the same website and had no problem.

I'm sure I had an email last week from either Expansys or Dabs which had a DZ for just over £200. Can't find the email at the moment, I will check tomorrow.

Bought my desire z off amazon too...amazon prices change every now and then..I got mine when it was 250 I dont think it usually goes any lower.

Found the email, Expansys were offering the DZ for £280 sim free but it shows up as discontinued now. Though they B grade stock for the same price.

Www.Simplyelectronics.net got it for £248 simfree plus free delivery 3 days.

Buy play from eBay?

Hey guys, as the popular term goes, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster and have to say what an awesome section this is! I was hesitant after bad reviews whether or not to get this bad boy, but after reading countless positive opinions on this forum I have decided to take the plunge. My only question is, do you guys think it's safe to get it off eBay for 400$au? It just seems very cheap and I want to know it's factory unlocked and not hacked before I get it, thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

eBay comes with buyer protection anyway so you won't loose your money

just check the sellers feedback score and histroy, if it seems to be too good to be true!!
i brought my xperia play from ebay and was perfectly fine just sim locked when it came out

Hi man
Im in Australia and bought mine through Ebay for AUD $398 about 2 months ago so that price is right. It came from Hong Kong, it works perfectly, im heaps satisfied with it and there are no faults.
Also to let you ease your mind dude, they are unlocked so they work with any Australian mobile network and also when purchasing the phone make sure you get the R800i xperia play model as these ones work on all of the Australian network bands for mobile 2G, 3G etc.
Another thing also like someone said before, Ebay offers their protection program and if you use paypal they also offer their own protection program so you are pretty much covered if somethings goes wrong.
Have fun with it dude If you wanna know anything else let me know.

the r800a runs on telstras 3g network, not the r800i, and it costs a fair bit more to buy but is worth it imo for telstras far superior network(least where i live)
the r800i can use telstras old 2100mhz 3g network..but thats not long for this world..
TLR telstra:r800a, optus or anyone else:r800i

Thanks guys, I'm actually in china now on holiday so I'm wondering whether to grab one while I'm in hong kong, but as previously mentioned eBay gives the security of buyer protection... will let y'all know how it fares but either way I'm looking forward to joining the club

just bought mine through ebay, price was $394 (ausd). came with an 8gb card, case, screen protector and car charger. seller is based in hong kong and i'd gladly recommend him if you were to buy through ebay. no hassles, no stress, no problems at all. seller even used ups for shipping which allowed full tracking online. i bought my unit on a thursday. ups online said that the unit was already in melbourne by saturday. got my phone by monday morning (darn, no postal services on sundays =)

2 of my friends got it through the same vendor I think. He's called rose#somenumber#.
Trouble-free and they got it for 280-300€ depending on the change rate.

280-300? Geez, that's a bargain! I saw that rose guy (or girl) on eBay but Aussie price is 385, still a good buy, just wanna stop at HK first n see if I can haggle a bit with the locals

just be careful, mate. no offense to anyone honk kong related...i was based there for 2.5 years mind you...but a mate of mine dropped by hk recently. he bought a brand new xperia arc and haggled for a lower price. the seller took out 150 bucks from the phone. phone was working fine but when he got back to melby the phone stopped functioning.
if you're going to hk, try getting the phone in tsim sha tsui (kowloon). specifically, ocean terminal (right beside the ferry and bus depot). there's a building there called star city. second floor houses the best electronics from reputable stores. or, there's something similar in wan chai (hk side). but personally i prefer the one in kowloon as the one in wan chai can be a bit dodgy regarding some stores.

im not sure what country your in but if your not in australia you may have to pay import tax which will boost the price

Thanks for the advice guys, ended up getting it from wanchai paid 340aud so pretty happy, it is a wicked phone so far n I havent even rooted it yet! Need some help with but I asked in another thread and am googling as I type thanks again guys, looking forward to exchanging info once I suss it out.

Battery Cover

Hi all,
I somehow managed to loose my battery cover today on my Desire Z.
If anyone has one laying around or knows a good place to buy one I would appreciate some feedback.
Cheers.

Check out ebay. They have them listed all over. Amazon has them, but they are geared for the G2 and say G2 on them.

Yep, ebay would be your best bet. If you buy the cheap hong kong ones, be ready to wait about 3 weeks for it to get to you.

EBAY, great place for misc stuff like that. I just got mine two or three days ago from New York. Brand new for $10. You could probably get it for cheaper used but why not get it new.

Ebay is your best bet. I got multiple covers from Ebay after scratching the hell out of the original ones. Longer wait, but lower price. Trade-off

ive also found them on ebay, and their really cheap as well
