hello.......
i was wondering does any body know when this XDA 2 is meant to be coming out, i know it is "before christmas", but i need a more accurate date, beacuse i really want my XDA now and im not sure whether i should just get the XDA 1 now......any ideas?
also, how much will the XDA 2 be on contract? Any good ideas will be welcome...
Thanks in advanced
jay
hi there, I kind of had the same dilemma, but damn it I've got the XDA now.. :wink:
My guess is that the price will be prohibitively expensive at first, and may not be on contract straight away as a result, so you could be waiting a while, there are some good deals around on the XDA now - are you UK ?
Personally I'm thinking of taking the plunge next year, but I'll be waiting until the XDA2 has been around a while like I did with this.. but then will there be something else around the corner ?
yeah...that makes sense...
i really need it now....mainly beacuse i have a lack of a mobile
i am in the uk yes.....where are the best deals then? any good websites? how much you pay for yours?
i will probably by it on contract from o2........
thanks for your help
jay
no worries mate - glad to help..
yeah same again - I needed a mobile and liked the idea of e-mail, but couldn't quite get my head around that plasticky P800.. If you can stand the ribbing from your mates at first, and get yourself one of the ROMS you have got loads of cool stuff..
As for deals, I got my for 209.99 - Although I'm sure thats going down, I price-matched at CPW from a shop in Guildford who had a deal for 235, somehow they went even lower than the price-match to my delight ! (but I have heard that o2/CPW might be dropping the XDA - making an early release on contract for the XDA2 even less likely)
I have 2 XDA's 1 is mine and I have a spare for sale it is ulocked so can be used on any network it also has the latest ROM and Radio Stack.
If you are interwsted let me know by email or post.
Regards your question I contacted O2 they said middle to late December
or early Jan It has a camera as well as Bluetooth. So I am expecting it to be very expensive.
got my XDA for £190 boxed as new was an ex display model had been dropped and had 2 dents abover the ir lens came with everything.
got it from ebay sim free about 9 months ago :\
You can get an XDA from £59.99 depending on contract from:

Translated to english.......
got mine for £200 off ebay.. boxed and unused
hmm this XDA2 is lookin' pretty good I have to say....
If you go to ebay and search for XDA, you will find a guy selling o2 contract xda phones for £149.
I found out today that the XDA2 will be available in the UK in november there is no idea of price, thay also confirmed that bluetooth is built in and not a add-on option like the WiFi is
XDA II Mini ROM upgrade question
Hi all,
I have a XDA Mini II and am trying to use GoTalkMobile. The software tells me that my GPRS settings are incorrect.
All WAP sites work for me, however I am unable to use this Midilet. Please help!!
everyones talking about the bluetooth headset MW600 they got with the phone.
but all i got were those old school earphones (not even in-ear canalphones).
bought it in singapore.. X10i
don't know about Singapore, but that's all you get in the UK too... But then in the UK I'm getting the handset for free on a £35 a month contract...
In sweden it depends on what dealer you buy it from, and the box including mw600 is ofc a bit more expensive then a box without. I bought my phone (mw600 included) for ~570€, and the cheapest box i've seen (mw600 excluded) is around ~520-530€. So you still dont get it for free.
edit. Other stuff included in my box is as i allready said mw600, one set of normal headphones with some "x-bass feature" (still not so good), one set of in-ear headphones with alot better bass but very short cord(meant to be used with the mw600), one extra screen protector, one battery, and a cord extention 3.5mm(so you can use the in-ear phones without mw600)
It would have been nice with a pouch but i guess you cant get everything.. still a bit wierd though that the included content differs so much depending on dealer/country/branding.. (my phone is black unbranded X10i)

got mine yesterday on the box Bluetooth headset, 3.5mn jack headset, black leather pouch, screen protector, extra battery hehehehe.....
x10i from AXIOM mobile electronics..
Here in the Netherlands you also don't get the MW600.
There are to types of x10 available, one is KPN simlocked, the other is simlockfree.
The packages both contains the normal headset.
It's a shame that they don't threat all customers equally and give them all MW600's, like them a lot.
it is market variant. Some x10 comes with the MW600, and some even comes with the 16GB microSD and MW600. Mine is just the phone with those accessories.... No MW600
man i also got my x10 in SG
bedok wahaha
Got mine from Rogers and it came with a 16gb card and a mail in coupon for a free mw600. No screen protector or case though.
it already came with a screen protector
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.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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.

i got mine for £200 at carphone warehouse in uk brandnew. not sure how much it is now though...
I think we could use a topic like similar ones.
How many people has it? Did you encounter any problems with your One and where did you buy it?
Darkhan total i brought 50 items none had complaint all had little line on gap very little 3 had headphone broken but they send it to Teleservice so all happy.
Mine were first batches but now i have bought another 5 from UK they seems much better build quality but i dont know which batch they sell at Turkcell
I bought from Turkcell, mine is perfect. They let me check the phone before I buy it.
I bought one on tuesday, but there were errors on microphone.
People couldnt hear me very well, sound was low and nor clear all the time.
I gave it back and waiting for a new unit.
This is my third phone this month,
I was using htc one x for a year, begining of this month I bought xperia z but i didnt like it and changed it to ONE.
I was missing my one x while using the Z, but one is really great

No luck about accessories yet. Noone knows they'll arrive.
But if you go Beyoğlu, check Turkcell Pera Mağaza.

Too bad there's no way to restore your TA partition and relocking your bootloader like Xperia Z. So once you unlock your bootloader you will loose your DRM keys forever
Hopefully there'll be something soon
Ordered mine today, hopefully I receive it by Friday
Can you root your phone without unlocking boatloader? If so, can it be reverted back to stock for warranty purposes?

Mine came in about half an hour ago. I ordered it yesterday from Vodafone just before lunch. I won't be using it yet though, as my screen protector and magnetic charging cable hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully one or both of them come either later today or tomorrow.

I don't think I have much patience once I get it . I need to buy a magnetic charging dock though. Where did you buy yours from? Ebay?
I have to send my Xperia Z to Sony for repair as it's both USB and Audio flaps are worn out and no longer seals properly. So really don't wonna see same thing happening to my Z2

Yeah, I ordered the magnetic charging cable from eBay. I ordered it 1 1/2 weeks ago and the seller is from Australia. I'm guessing he doesn't have any stock in like he claims.
The flaps were a put off for me on the Xperia Z (+boom sound) which is why I went with the HTC One last year even though I preferred the looks of the Z.
I'll be making a comparison of Z2 speakers vs HTC One when my screen protector comes in.
Hope yours comes in soon, BTW are you Om Shakti from Whirlpool?

No.. but I do have whirlpool account with the same nick "kamalmawa" as on XDA and I don't remember the last time I logged into whirlpool forums ... For my understanding HTC one have better speakers compares to Z2. This is due to waterproof seal covering the speakers of Z2. So Sony had to sacrifice some of the speaker loudness to keep the phone IP rating.. I remember someone remove the seal on his Z to find the speaker is way louder

Yes I understand what you are saying, due to it being waterproof the sound will not be as clear. About the loudness though, I saw a video comparison on youtube by btekt and he says the Z2 is louder then the HTC One M8, but the M8 has a clearer sound.
However I still want to do my own tests with my HTC One M7.

I think Optus users also get creepy earphones, but at least they get a pair of free Adidas shoes.

Nah mate, just the regular earbuds. Ive got a pair of MDR-EX210B's which I'll use anyway. Not too fussed about the noise cancellation anyway
I just order a z2 from Vodafone today. But they said that box will not include noise cancelling headphones, just standard headphones.
Only Telstra sell z2 with noise cancelling headphones.
Anyone got the generic au ftf yet?
I haven't found a reason for the AU generic, as I was able to uninstall all the optus bloat stuff. But to answer the question, no.
EDIT: aside from the possibly quicker updates as being a reason
