Wildfire for sale - Wildfire General

just wondering if anyone would be interested in buying a uk wildfire, the screen has been cracked but still works, it has been s-off by an xtc clip,£50 and its yours,
thanks.

sell it on ebay. you'll get something around 40 to 60 quid.

i was thinking of doing that but didnt think i'd get that much, crazy thing is, i bought it for £190 from carphone warehouse, realised it wasnt what i expected, swapped it with my daughters op one, who then broke the wildfire, i then swapped back cause i didnt want her running around with a cracked screen, paid £20 to get it s-off, about 2 weeks later carphone warehouse had their sale, and then alpharev x came out, so before all that i might have had more interest but now, no hope lol

Since its Sim Unlocked, you can use it as a USP. (Not if it was already before you bought it. )

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

How much did you pay for your Wizard?

Hi all,
Figure I'd start a little topic that hopefully isn't a dupe.
I'm just wondering how much you all paid for your devices, and where/when you bought them?
I've only had my Wizard a few days - I got it 2nd hand from a company that were upgrading all their employees phones. ~£40 (~$80) is the price I paid (xe.com if you wanna convert that into euros etc!) which I thought was a great price for such a fun bit of kit. There are a lot of scratches/dents on the case and the left softkey doesn't work but apart from that it's running perfecto!
I've upgraded the IPL/SPL to 3.08, flashed it with TNT WM6 and set up VoIP calling. I'm awaiting an SD card before I play around any further.
So how much did you pay for yours?
Thinking of selling this little Wizard - interested?!
Well, I just got mine 3 days ago. Got it from a Pawn Shop for a cool 20USD! The whole stipulation was that the battery didnt hold a charge, so I went to my local battery store and bought a 20USD battery and it works like a champ! The other stipulation was that it COULD NOT be unlocked to anyone other than Cingular(seeing as its a Cingular 8125).....bbbuuutttt, I can home and used the lokwiz tool and voila! Unlocked Wizard!!! So for 40USD, I dont think that I did too bad!;P
Got mine brand new for about £80 off egay.
Got a 2GB SD card off Play.com for about £12.

Cool deal!
Also to mention I got mine boxed with all the original accessories & a leather case which adds to the overall value-for-money. All in all I'm very pleased!
Hoping my SD card arrives tomorrow as I'm craving installing and messing about with some new apps
Got my VPA Compact II from a friend in Germany for 100€ with 2Gb card.

i got mine free from cingluar... i had the treo 680... and i traded it in the 8125....
got it first when it came out $300 dollars plus serivce. almost 2.5 years later still using it. Best phone i've had thus far.
Mine was free on a contract - UK T-mobile £22.50 a month with unlimited web and walk. I'm 12 months into an 18 month contract - despite unlocking it and flashing with WM6 I'm kind of tired of the phone now - it's a bit clunky and ugly compared with what's out there now. Don't think I'll get a phone with a built in keyboard again as I hardly ever use it.
Mind you I've dropped the flipping thing about 6 times this week and it's still going strong
Got mine when it was new about two years ago for $399, including a 1GB card, car charger, and a bluetooth headset. I've been nothing but happy with it.
i paid US$450 for it from cingular, that was almost 2 years ago
20 bux
i got mine from a friend downgrading to the iphone for 20 bux and some free guitar lessons almost a year ago
i paid 40 for mine
Mine was $300. I got it two years ago.
Paid $95 for mine off eBay almost two years ago to the day. Some guy was trying to
upgrade the radio and couldn't get it going again. The thing was brand new. After reading
on this forum for a couple of days, put it in bootloader mode, reloaded the software and
still going strong. I had thought to sell it back to the guy (they were going for about $400
at the time i think)
i paid $170 for my 8125 (used but it looks new). i am plaining to get the 8925(cause this one has GPS built in)
Paid £35 on Ebay - just got the phone (in nice condition - hardly a scratch) with a single stylus, no charger or any accessories. I have a HTC Artemis (T-Mobile MDA Compact III) as well, the charger from that works fine, so no worries.
Main problem was that the dork who sold it me, , had not unlocked/reset the phone so I could not initially get it going. A quick search led me to you guys and I quickly found the instructions on resetting it - works a treat now, have since picked up a 2GB SD cad from SVP for £7.50, so now have a cracking phone/PDA for less than £50.

Cheapest/Best Place to buy an Xperia? X1i or X1a, doesnt matter

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.

Hd2 from ebay...

Hey I'm going to get an HD2 VERY soon, was just wondering if anyone purchased one from any sellers located in Hong Kong, and if everything was as expected? I Just don't wanna pay for a fake lol.
I suggest not purchasing from a user with low reps, even if they have 100% feedback. If it is something you consider, ive ordered my htc kaiser from hong kong. They used ups, and guess what? When i recieved the phone i got charged atleast 100 from customs, which wasnt needed.. also the box was beat up.
Hope you´ll enjoy the great feeling to get a brick in a box
I once ordered an Universal (anyone remembering it?) from HK a looong time ago. Actually, I go a badly damaged box, had trouble with german customs and the device was a bad chinese copy of something that was was definitely not an universal. How much are you gonna save compared to a purchase in whereever you live?
Sometimes, that is not an option. It wasn't in my case, because nobody in Panama actually sells the HD2, and I think I might be the only person to own one in the entire country.
I generally dont buy these kind of things from Ebay as ive been stung before (even though the loser got caught and is behind bars .
If you must stick to the power sellers, check their feedback,look for volume sellers who have sold many, use paypal for a little more peace of mind in theory etc. good luck.
If you are based in the UK there are plenty of sellers that have got them as afree upgrade. I bought one for £335 in a sealed box and unlocked it to Orange for £7.20.
Someone I know purchased an iPod from a strange ebayer, with good rep, it arrived, looked just like an iPod, but had some weird OS on it which WASNT iPod and very nasty. Just becareful when buying items like this on ebay.

[Q] Replacement screen ...

Damn and double damn! Took my S4 out of my pocket (front) yesterday and it wouldn't work. Tried to brush what I thought was a hair off the screen and realised that it was a crack .... So, a new screen/digitiser is needed. Can anyone recommend a seller in the UK (or, someone in the UK recommend a seller TO the UK)? Don't mind if it's Fleabay or elsewhere, just as long as they sell what they say they sell .... I've found a few on Fleabay who seem legit but you never know ....
Thanks.
So, after some messing about I found that a local repair shop to me could supply and fit a new screen/digitiser for £99.99. Took him about 10 minutes as I'd already taken the phone apart Yes, I could have saved some money by buying via Fleabay but the extra gives me 6 months warranty. Now got what looks like a new phone.
