Best way of upgrading/swapping XDA for XDAII??

Hi people,
I want to swop my current xda for an xda mk2 and was just wondering if anyone knew a good way of doing this - I Emailed o2 coustomer support and they said that they weren't operating a trade in at the moment but to check back later. However, i'm impatient ;-). Is there anyone whos traded an xda in with a high street shop or will my best bet to be sell it on ebay? On a sort of related point, has anyone found the cheapest site to buy a new xda2 (with contract, want around a £20-£25 a month one)? The best i've found seems to be;
http://www.e2save.com/e2001/php/matrix/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2
on O2 Leisure Time Plus + 100 SMS.
For reference for trade in etc, my XDA is the 64mb version with the latest official o2 ROM, unlocked thanks to the unlock utility from this very site, Good condition (natural wear and tear, marks around the infra red port but still works fine), still got box+manuals+cd+cradle+charger+leather case but not the headset (broke). Comes sim free (still got 1 onth left on 12month min. contract, but willing just to pay that).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark

You would be better to sell it, but make it quick as Ebay is getting flooded with them. Or you could offer it for sale here on the forum, how much you hoping to get for it?

i sold mine 2 weeks ago, as soon as i heard the news that it was available from 1 november in my neighbour country germany, and got one 1 week ago. sold for 250 € and bought one for € 650

Well with the keyboard i was hoping to get around £200 or so. Need that much to make it worthwile to upgrade or I may as well stick with the XDA1.

Decided to put it on Ebay now rather than risk leaving it and the site becoming flooded - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2766011342 if anyones interested

I just sold my xda privately, I got £160 with all the origanal stuff and it looked quiet well looked after, when it's unlocked the "pay as you go" people cant resist the prospect of an unusual phone away from the usual boring nokias, and since my brand new xdaII was only 150 on a £45 p/m contract I`ve got one of the most cutting edge mobiles on the planet, and made a tenner

3 Atom's for sale! Unlocked

Hey Guys ( And girls ),
I have 3 new Atom's for sale, All in original pack. including everything, unlocked, All of them come with a warranty, and i bought them in HK.
Best price you will ever find :
560 US$ per Unit.
I live in Israel- shipping will be from Israel.
Contact me if you are ineterested.
I can accept all major credit cards through my store, and PayPal.

and how I can find you after I make the paymant? :?:

I Have a ...
Store..and ill give you all the details you ask for.

If general market is selling Brand New Atom at least USD650, why would you like to sell at big under-cut of USD560??
Would that be your warehouse cost is such expensive that you have to sell those devices out immediately??
Or other reasons??

Very simple...
The phone is starting to be provided both by Orange Israel and Cellcom Israel, at a lower price ( about 500$ ), under a contract of 3 years.
So as simple as that, if i do not sell them now, i may be not not be able to sell them at all.
Thanks

not very convincing:
you are targeting to sell Atom to oversea, therefore an upcoming price-cutting locally in Israel won't force you to cut price deep.

It seems..
Like you're s salesman, Why dont you provide me with a suggestion then ? Huh ?

I am just a man who hate people selling "2nd hand" under the cover of "New".
Full Stop

Try ebay.
Anyway, atom at US$560 isn't cheap on eBay
(I think, compare to Charmer). They are selling much cheaper.

Best way to get a Hermes cheap!!!

Guys, I'd like to know how you all go about getting your Hermes and how much you pay for it.
Since I live in a country where is costs like $1000 for the Hermes, I was wondering what would be the best way to go about getting it for cheap like it is in the US and UK.
I tried asking a few of my friends in the states to pick up one of the cingular connections which offers an 8525 along with a 2 year contract for about $400, but that would mean they have to get an extra connection.
I've noticed that there are a lot of people who sell these kind of phones on ebay which have been unlocked for around the same price.
Is there anybody you guys would recommend? or is there any other way I can go about getting the 8525 or equivalent for around $400 Brand new.
Hope yu guys can help out ASAP. My friend in the US leaves in another 2 weeks. It has to reach him by then.
Thanks and Regards
Lee

Check you PMs

if you're using fido, i'm guessing you're in canada
some local cell phone places can get the hermes relatively for about 700CAD or so, usually the softbank japanese version
you could check craigslist for your area
e.g. vancouver.craigslist.org
see if you can search HTC or Cingular 8525
i'm lucky i got mine from ebay locally though
under 450CAD brand new

@Taurus... Check ur PMS
Anybody else?

Here in HK....a new Softbank unlock with latest Dopod ROM is only USD 380....
Go to Sintat, Mongkok

Something that is Brand New and doesn't cross $400 to 500?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ah, the gansta stronghold, as we call it.

Thanks guys...
@ $5 x 24 = $120.00... Really? The only other place I saw that kind of a price was on Amazon where an 8528 was going for about $125.00 with a 2 year Voice and Data Plan from Cingular which at it's cheapest would cost you around $80.00 a month.
Hope somebody else can point me out to a good deal. I'd prefer the M3100. Like our Mr. Activ Moderator pof pointed out... it's looks neat

Yes it's true, around $120... but it's a two year contract. In total the monthly fee is $25 including only 12250 packets and free calls from 1am to 9pm inside the softbank network...

SoftNank in China
I got my SoftBank Hermes 200 phone in China for US$450 unlocked with English ROM.

Managed to find what looks like a decent seller on eBay.
Let's see how it goes. Brand New 8525 for around 450.00

Check this out.

You can shop online thru here. Based in HK.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the link. I'm trying to avoid the X01's. Looks like this one works up to about USD 550.

I got my Cingy 8525 from Craigslist (SF Bay area) for $400 about 4 month ago

[Q] Anyone willing to send me a Droid Pro Dock ?!?

Hey, folks ;0)
I´m desperately searching for a Droid Pro xt610 multimedia station but it seems like the only country these things are sold in are the US...
Bummer ;0( I tried amazon and ebay but the sellers there are trying to make a really big profit with the "dumb german guy" (I don´t mind paying a little extra for the "inconvenience" but trying to charge me double the retail price is trying to rip me off)
So I wondered if someone here would be so nice to buy a dock for me and send it to germany. I found the dock for $ 21.65 at motorola ( http://goo.gl/oRstU ) and starting at $ 23.45 on amazon.com ( http://goo.gl/IdBCA ) both incl. shipping and taxes.
I´m willing to pay(pal) that price (if anyone can get one from Verizon that would be perfect, they sold it for $ 9.99) and the $ 11.60 for a usps First-Class Mail® International Parcel. And whoever would be so kind can keep the Wall Charger since I can´t use that in Europe plus he/she would get the satisfaction of being a nice person who made someone else really, REALLY happy ;0)
Thx for your time... ;0)

why not use shipito or similar?

[Q] Is this price possible?

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.
