My local o2 shop have XDA II's in stock at £350 with a new contract sadly even though the upgrade is only £350.00 too and I get to keep my XDA (WOW) I havent been with o2 12 months so I cant do it yet (Sulk)

hi mate any idea on how much per month? im 17 and want something cheap per month lol.
i can afford the xda2 just dont think i could handle the contract
gaz
Not sure I didn't ask but I guess it would be the £25.00 per month one plus some data package as they all tend to be pop into your local store or ring them I'm sure they will know better than me
Carl
ill think ill leave the xda2 lol im gonna go for this instead
http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=505
Looks nice enough but the screen seems a little small, also no mention of Bluetooth a much needed part of any phone these days.
But each to his own good luck with it
Carl
yeah ive also looked around no monetion on touchscreen :| cant live without touchscreens now lol so XDA 2 it may be
also if you want a xda 2 try get intocuh with this guy......
dunno if its legit or not ive been chatting to him via email hes from east yorkshire in hull he says it near leeds but hes selling XDA 2 for £160 delivered but he has no obligation of you going to pick up. i live to far away to see if its for real
his page on ebay is:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3357936944&category=3312
but he seems to be hesitating on his address :\
lmk if you get intouch and find anything out
Hmmmm!
I suspect that these units are off the back of a lorry or something. It's just tooo cheap.
The guy's ID on eBay also has no rating, no feedback, and is not a verified user. You'd be MAD to buy from him without further info. I'm going to watch these bids closing out with interest...
yeah but if you live not far away its worth a try the guy said he has had 100 units and now oly has 30left! not suprised at this price.
even if they weref rom back of a lorry who cares lol you didnt know they were nicked init
even if it gets blocked £160 for a 400mhz bluetooth pda not bad
gaz
The main problem is he has no rating on Ebay you may send money to his Paypal account and get nothing I've emailed him a number of times and got ... well lets just say odd replies.
I'd warn you all to be very careful indeed I've been had once before on Ebay and never recovered my money.
Having said that if one of you get one from him and its gen please contact me on my mobile number as I'll be away 07866 739331 and I'll get one too lol. (just realized I'm kind of saying you lot can take a chance SORRY) lol

Can you tell me what you mean by "odd replies"?
Don't want to put anything down here I could be complained at for, but I do a lot of business on ebay and it just seems to good to be true.
Lets face it the o2 shops are only just getting these in and they want £350.00 on contract why would anyone have 100 (now 30) and be willing to sell them sim free for £160.00 delivered look at his other auctions too they are all top of the range phones.
Normally if it seems to be too good to be true it is.
Carl
I was offered several of these machines from this ebay seller and when I said that I worked in a nearby town and offered to call to collect the phones, the emails dried up and I've had no further contact since yesterday. I suspect this is a con.
i have a house phone number and his addy :| i just need someone to go check it out
hes from hull
ronald morgan his name is also there are 2 other peeps.
3 total are running it:
Carl Wilburn, Andy Lill and Ronald Morgan.
not had replies from the other guys but ron seems to be alrite but i dont se ehow he can do them that cheap :\
anyone want his info lmk and ill send you it so you can go investigate and if true lmk and ill be on my way down in an instant lol (about a 4hour drive)
With the name/address, you could look at the electoral role to verify....something like UKINFO 2003 or www.192.com might help....
Just for information, I have been in contact with this ebay seller today. I've reserved two of these machines. Hull is only a hour drive from where I am, I have suggested that I pick them up from him directly. Just awaiting his email back, will let you know what happens.
Regards,
Chris
yeah he even said i could go pick them up too....
but its over 4hours drive away from where i am so its a no go
gaz
gazzaman - I'm in Hull right now please send me the address and I'll check it out.
pmed you it mate let us know the outcome if you can go just ask if he is selling them and if you could have alook at one or somthing

I have just switched over to the Storm (which I am loving but missing the flexibility of the 6800) and so I am selling off my old 6800 on Verizon. It is in perfect working order except that the USB sync doesn't work with the computer (or at least not on mine). Would be good for someone who wants a spare or doesn't care about syncing with a computer, or someone who wants to try out ROMS etc on a spare.
Comes with box, accessories and 1gb Sandisk card for flashing.
Make sensible offers please. Email is rosshardy - at - tampabay.rr.com or reply on this thread and I will try to check in on it.
I have a buddy looking for one, I was going to help him find one on ebay but I like to help out members on the board here first. Any indication of price? Does the unit charge just not sync? Any scratches? Had a screen protector on it etc...
Yes it charges fine, just doesn't sync. Not unusual, I had 2 others that did the same and never worked out if it was hardware or my computer (I think hardware though). I should also mention that I have a car charger for it and another 4 gb card for media as well if the person is interested.
It has a minor ding, screen is immaculate, was only used for 3 months and I am obsessive about my phones. I can send pictures if you want to email me with your address.
Anything around the $150 plus shipping would be acceptable I guess if that seems reasonable? Or make an offer
hi sir, check ur PM...
I also have a XV6800 that I am looking to sell. I just had it replaced by Verizon, so it's a refurb with a 01/19/2009 refurb date. I can even give you the Factory diagnostics test sheet they sent with it.
Nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

How much? Looking for any trades?
I think a lot of people wanting a pda cheap (no data plan with 6800) on verizon will be picking these up. Keep posting up anyone who wants to sell theirs and we will try to find buyers! I will get back to my buddy and see what his budget is and all that. Thanks all!

don't ask me how it happened, i'm just telling you that you can't rely on the HD2 drop test video on youtube... if someone knows a good place that will make my hd2 look like a new one again, please tell me!
Holy crap!!
Good luck on finding a new housing and screen. Might as well chalk this up as stupid/careless/accident and just get a new one.
pitchbend your not the only one mine was picked up by UPS yesterday afternoon and is off to HTC for repair.
When I first phoned the helpdesk hadn't even received the price list off the service centre. I had to phone them up the next day and then wait for Lee to call me back
Spares are like rocking horse crap at the moment and the only people that seem to have them are HTC's service centres.
I've been quoted £140 luckily the insurance will pay

Haha... Sorry for laughing, im not laughing at you. try to fix it under guarentee and say it happend wwith you thumb and pressed too hard or something
(its probaly not working that way but you can try, ''no'' you alreddy have and ''yes'' you may get)
Or maybe u can say: ''i have no idea how this happend, but i saw supicious little creatures jumping on the screen when i left my phone on the table at night''
This maybe sounds hillarious but i have said this one time when my SE w810 had a broken lcd. They said they done it for free because the funny make up story
Have you called HTC? Should be under warrenty? Not many other options...good luck.
Somehow I don't think throwing your phone off the ground will be covered by warranty!
Either pay the repair costs, or fork out for a new one I'm afraid.
I suppose you could buy a new one - and keep that one for 3 months until spares are available... then eBay it!
Do you people not have insurance on this phone?
Really, at £550 a pop, I would assume insurance would be a VERY sensible option.
And how the hell did you smash the bottom of that screen in?! Looks like someone stood on it.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never purchase any insurance for any of my phones. The last phone I've had was a $700 Diamond when it first came out. I check to make sure I have my phone on me at all time. NO. MATTER. WHAT. I've grown to the point where I'm very paranoid when I step out of my car and didn't feel the phone in my pocket. Everywhere I go, I make sure the phone is in a secure spot (ie, carrying case) if not, I will make sure it's in an enclosed pocket (front pants pocket). Don't ever put your phone on your shirt pocket or anywhere with an opening because when you bend over to pick up something...BAM!! Just simple reminders that many tend to overlook. It's just a higher level of awareness when you spend an upward of $700-$1000 for a phone.
hi,
first of all a big 'sorry you', i know how it feels when a brand new toy dies.... i think spareparts are not available at this early time after release. and the glas is maby a part of the display itself wich makes it expesive. so best will be to send to htc for repair.

and if you want to try this, than you should send thme a copy of the book 'the wee free man' (i attached a picture of the cover), to proove your words .
regards mad.
to say that must be heartbreaking has to be the understatement of the year... lots of dude's don't bother with phone insurance but have you thought about claiming of your house and contents? If you have it the excess fee will surely be less than the cost of outright replacement...
yours in deepest sympathy
I'd go online and purchase some insurance, wait a few weeks and...
Thats nasty mate, I feel for you!
Insurance is all well and good but as with any insrance company the do not like paying out, you have to chose your words very carefully when telling them how it happened!
Know how you feel.
Oh,
That picture sent a shiver down my spine . Looks like the dog's been at it!
Year before last I got my shiney TytnII Christmas Eve, and trod on it Christmas morning. Certainly wasn't feeling seasonal after that.

When you are 16 years old, and owning a $1000 Sharp IQ8300M with 128KB RAM, and repairing your bike's tyre with a bucket of water to find the hole in the tyre, and you drop your $1000 dollar gadget in the bucket while bending over,
you will never, ever , ever ever put your phone in some risky place again. Ever. Ever.
My god the trauma hasn't gone! Anyone seen such device on ebay,
I need me one to get over it ...I just realized that..
That's disturbing.
You really need to put a NSFW or 18+ tag on something like that.

Got mine insured through 'Supercover' - £9.99 per month covers my HD, and the wife and brother in law's iphones. Think (for the gadget mad) they do a 5 gadget cover for £14.99.
Feel your pain - my HD was replaced within 3 days of getting it thanks to an unzipped pocket.
Good luck with it!
EDIT - here's their link if it's any use

EDIT - the wife has suitably informed me that Supercover now do the underwriting, and you need to go through a broker. Link attached

This site http://cnn.cn will get it, but it's still to early you need to be patient or rich. they are based in Hong kong I've bought a cover once and got it in three weeks (good quality).
hi,
while surfing the net im stumble upon this honkong guy , i dont know everything about them, and never bougth something from them. but they offer the frontglas with the touchscreen, so if someone is in need for it, this may help.
mad.
So I have a S4 that was dropped in water and everything works great. . . other than the touchscreen. The picture is clear as can be on it, but I just cant touch it.
So I am looking for ideas on what to do with such a device.
Any ideas would be great.

buy circuit cleaner, buy a cheap toothbrush with no rubber bristles, open up your phone, remove your motherboard, spray brush and motherboard and quickly clean before liquid dries up, also do the same thing to the flex cables connection ports to the lcd and digitizer. lastly for good measure spray the charging port flex connectors and the actual charging port are cleaned. if it doesnt work you might need a new digitizer + lcd assembly.
Throw it in the garbage or claim on insurance. While sometimes phones recover after a water soaking, you will usually end up with a paperweight after the real damage begins to materialize later on.

If the phone was waterlogged recently, I would say to let it dry for a few days to a week,before turning it on again.

I did claim the insurance on it, and kept it. So I have a extra one to mess around with. . . . if I can get it working.
I am not sure if it will work, but I am thinking of getting a cord to do video out and use a bluetooth or use mouse and seeing where I can go from there.
I know some phones have chrome OS as a ROM so I might try that.
If you can't get it to work...
If you can't get the phone to work, you can sell it for "parts or repair" on eBay. People do this a lot with their broken phones and you can get a pretty good amount of money for a newer phone like the S4. The person who buys it will either try to fix it or use it for spare parts. I've seen broken iPhones go for hundreds of dollars. Trust me, even if it works now, it won't work a few months from now. I had a phone that got waterlogged and after it dried out it worked just fine but it died a few months later.

Was it Assurian? Won't they bill you for the retail price of the phone if you don't return it to them?

It amazes me how so many people on XDA promote fraud! No wonder the prices of phones and deductibles are so high.

If I am going to pay the same price for a lost phone vs a broken phone then I will call it lost and keep a half broken phone around for a fun project.
And I am almost sure they get their money worth...
$10 a month for 3 years is 360 plus 150, so I have paid them $520 in the long run. Now they give me some refurb phone, and I am going to say they are still making out very well. . . and that is just counting the insurance I pay on that phone. . . . so I have not even added in the money I pay or the other two lines.
Just saying. . . .
Also, not really the point to what I am asking, I am more looking for fun or cool ideas as to what I can try with it.
But the price of phones are so high only because we all pay the price and let them charge it. I mean do you really think it cost $600 to build a S4?
With 27.2 billion US dollars in profit for 2012 I am going to take a guess and say they are not hurting? Well thats just how I feel about it.
Well I might try to repair it, but after that I am still trying to find something cool to do with it. . . . . I dont want it just sitting in my desk for the next year.
Just an idea
Here's an idea:
For a small amount of money you can get some really good emulators on the Play Store that will allow you to play Play Station 1, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and PSP games on your phone. There are also emulators for older consoles, too. Download ROMs (but only for games that you paid for) and turn it into a dedicated gaming phone!
Try these:
FPse
DraStic
SuperN64
PPSSPP
My Boy!
or you can paste plastic googley-eyes on it, sharpie yourself a crazy-mouth, and use it to keep your important documents from blowing off your desk!
Anyone have the original earphones that came with the phone who's willing to sell them? Unfortunately mine broke not too long ago after I sat up in a chair and apparently one of the housings was latched onto one of the legs and the housing came clean off They were pretty decent too, I think better than Apple's earpods, ironically :laugh: If you are willing to sell (preferably in new/ slightly used condition), send me a private message or email me @ [email protected] and we'll discuss pricing and method.

I'll send you an email at some point tomorrow.
I'll send them to you for free if you pay shipping. I don't use them, only tried them once and disliked them.
