his user id name has been changed past 30 days
and also if he has sold 15 units before dont you think hell have enough cash to buy a digicam :roll:

I bought mine on ebay for £375 brand new, for some reason the price is coming down very quickly.

damn why cant i find a cheap xda 2 one at £375 would do me fine lol or even £350
help lol
£400 is bit much for me to spend on a phone im 17, no job, student gah

Well at £399 I think its still a bargain, there is nothing stopping you from contacting the previous buyers, just send emails to the people that have given feedback.

eBay @ £399
I bought one from this guy, I too were concerned re the change of ID however changing your ID doesn't negate your feedback profile it follows you. I did contact a previous buyer who was pleased with his service.
Mine arrived yesterday by Special delivery, brand new as stated and it took a whole 3 minutes to unlock it using the software from this site.
Just having fun learning to use it now.
O2 may have commisioned a great product but as phone providers they suck, spending most of my time getting their s#*t of the XDA II.

The reasons why people change id are many, it can be that the person was using an account along with other people, or a private trader that then becomes a business and wants his id to reflect his trading name etc. I am very good at checking up on frauds, I got bitten once and that was enough for me. I am glad you got a good deal from him, the fact is he could get more if he auctioned them instead of buy now but he told me he is happy with his mark up and he wants to be known as a reasonable person with very fair prices. Anyway, I just bought an xda2 on ebay using "buy now", it is 3 weeks old in box with everything supplied, cost me £279.

i live in sheffield and got the 1st one from him sunday before xmas. went to his house and picked it up. he is 110% genuine and works for some large software company.my feed back is by wot you want on his 2nd page.grab a bargin they are brand new and sealed and i got the unlock code via o2 (for free) so if they were hookey i would have got to know!!

Orderer one as well myself. Shipped Tuesday arrived this morning. Everything as expected. Easy unclock instructions inside. I hope he'll sell me some more as I'll need to supply to some friends of mine

i bought one from this guy also ,very trustworthy,arrived 2 days later

XDA IIs - availability

I called O2 and was told the release date had been put back to the 4th November and more suprisingly they have not got a price yet.
There will be no trade in or upgrade promo from teh XDA2

Allegedly, I was successful in ordering one yesterday (3rd) - I was charged £279 (based on my tariff/upgrade - it does vary depending on your tariff).
However, as they had 'problems with the computers' my GM order number has not yet arrived.....

I was also told he 4th, And i rang a few times, but no stock (of corse) my last call was at 4pm and i was then told its been put back until the 9th
John

Well - it is on the O2 online shop now for £249 +min £20 a month line rental. I have a friend in O2 so I am gonna see if there is a staff deal.
R

I called the local O2 shops - they are so crap!
The one that 2 days ago said it would be in on Friday now says they are not sue in until December. Another simply said they had heard nothing about it.....jesh!!! Neither of them could give me any idea of price...
R

O2 XDA IIs is available in Hong Kong now

ROADTRIIIIIP!!!

its also available in the philippines now. Im thinking of getting it, but im already using xda2. the landscape orientation for spreadsheets and other softwares may prove to be very useful, other than that, id say the built in wifi is a welcome edition, im not a fan of the qwerty keypad though.
i was wondering also ifthis unit can support blackberry as well

i3oyi3astos,
If you could, please run to the store to play with one and in the bluetooth settings please see if they are still using the 1.0000000000000 version or if they upgraded it.
Second could you see if they have the BlackBerry client on it???
Third, take your credit card and consider it a early birthday gift
Thank you VERY much as I'm hoping they updated these two in the XDAIIs.

its on the o2 uk site.........

Last I head from Vodafone Australia is November 15 is release date here.

Uplands Mobile
I have bought one sim free from Here they have been assured by O2 today that they will be the first in the UK to stock them and that delivery will be shipped next monday.
I personally can't wait until Tuesday, this is the first phone with everything i ever wanted in one device, i am ditching my Treo 600 and palm for this little baby.
Cheers

1st post by the way :lol:

Ooooops!

Hi Richard,
I got my XDA II from Uplands last year and I can't fault them, so I'd be happy to get an XDA IIs from them as well, and their prices are certainly good!
Could you let us know when you get yours? I'll be interested to see when their stock starts to come through. Gonna call them now and ask about upgrades....
Edit: update on upgrades - I could have one, but it would cost me £285 cos I'm not a particularly heavy user.

Yeah uplands are good cant go wrong with them + they are very competitive in price. Stock will be due in on monday 15th nov.. cant wait!

12th Nov
I've just spoken to a few O2 shops in London area, they either tell me they have no idea when they're due or that 12th of November is release date and not to expect anything for at least 2 weeks after then :\
I've got 4 phones due an upgrade with an O2 reseller (unfortunately not direct with O2, corporate account with CarphoneWarehouse so will probably delay things further) - itching to get my hands on one!

Does anyone have any idea when this device will be available in the Netherlands? Through one of those mobile provider? (T-Mob, Orange, Telfort?) It seems that its out in UK and Germany and some places in US and other countries, but not yet here in NL, I've checked several stores and can't find convincing replies. I am keen to check this one out.

More delays
Just spoke to Uplands - they have said -
"Yes, O2 advised us yesterday that the release of
the handsets has been delayed again, and to expect delivery by around Monday of next week {15th Nov}. Unfortunately that means we cannot yet guarantee a delivery date"
Bumsticks :\

Please post any other shops that are selling the XDA IIs.
Uplands will not ship to a US customer!
I would love to get a XDA III, but getting it in a black version would be really cool.

Replacement Stylus??

where can you get them. also interested in buying in bulk but i need at least one for now!!

Go to www.ebay.co.uk and search xda stylus.

You should search xda 2s stylus or you'll end up with one that doesn't fit as the XDA2s' stylus differs from the XDA2 etc.
I know.. I have a heap of useless leftover XDA2 stylus' that are too long for my 2S.

I bought mine from here:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/styraballpointpen/styra-ballpoint-pen-stylus-htc-blue-angel_460.htm
they have a pen in them, but it was better than nothing. Siemens didn't sell them, neither did Cingular.
So much for post-sales customer support

2 for $26. im going to look else where

lost mine recently got it the next day. orignal styluses from teh supplier themselves. got the number from orange shop. works out cheaper and you get more than 1. i would buy 3 for a tenner rather than 1 for a fiver. got them the next day
http://www.ora.co.uk

why dont you look in the o2 website,
http://www.my-xda.com/
click the device you have, and click on accessories
they are bout £7.99 and you can even order them from there!!!

shortage of desire?

hi folks,
the network i'm on in ireland are telling me they cant get any new desire for at least two weeks.. that there's a europe wide shortage? any stock issues elsewhere?
Cheers,
Mick

Yeah, I had to wait 3 weeks for mine from Vodafone, although admittedly the volcano didn't help.
It seems like other people are having problems with Vodafone, looks as though HTC underestimated the Desire's popularity.

Got it in Holland, didn't have to wait they had a couple of desires left. The guy told me they sell very well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out of desires before ordering new ones.

The same situation applies in Greece too.
HTC Desire is not available through any carriers, or even online shops
which usually provide cellphones much earlier than official shops.

First I ordered it online they told me I had to wait 4 weeks. Since I didn´t want to do that. Than I called a shop and asked if they had it in stock. They just had one left! So rushed to the shop and bought mine

Yeah, it's been selling out everywhere. I got mine in Dublin on the day Meteor released it, I had to ring 4 different stores because they were booked out in most places. I got the second last one they had in stock in Grafton Street (and they only got them in around mid-morning).
And apparently Vodafone and O2 hadn't even planned on stocking it until their customers kicked up a huge fuss on the forums... I guess they were concerned about it eating into 3GS sales. Although maybe I'm giving their business acumen a little too much credit there... the way these guys operate in this country it wouldn't surprise me if they just couldn't have been bothered. Wonder how many customers O2 and Voda lost due to Meteor jumping in ahead of them with the Desire. (Me, for one!)

There goes a possible answer...

Clove.co.uk have been out of stock for weeks. Their last shipment was completely taken up by existing pre-orders, and (opinion) the same may happen with the current shipment too (due about the end of this week, exact arrival date tbc)
play.com claim to have stock - but I think they are fibbing
So, on the one hand, "Yay" for the Desire.
On the other hand, "C'mon, HTC [& samsung]! Get a move on! (but make sure you glue down the screens properly )"

Vodafone NL had a notice in the online shop saying it's not available for 4 weeks. Glad i got mine by mail the day it was released

Tis good news.
Well from HTC's point, you can't not update to 2.2 as the sheer amount of people buying them. IF the nexus one stays as the 2.2 Desire then sales will fall as people buy them instead.
So I am hopeful of June 23rd

Yo I got mine at the very beginning in Hong Kong with a hkd200 which is around 30 usd higher than the original price.
Luckily I made a decision to take it from the store otherwise I might have to wait for five days to two weeks for the phone.
Desire, what a great name.

Clove.co.uk seem to be fulfilling pre-orders
As far as I can tell, clove started dispatching pre-ordered Desires yesterday (2/6/2010).
Their site still says "Stock delayed until the first week of June. Exact arrival date to be confirmed" but they probably recieved enough to cover some of the existing orders in the pipeline (mine included!)

I bought mine online as well got it had it for two weeks, but I had to send mine for repair, inner earpiece stopped working, and they said they need to replace it, also saying there is shortage have to wait a week or two, not to sure.

Yes, I think you are right. A big desire user base will definitely help ensure (a) future update(s). Bad after sales support for a large user base will also mean large public backlash when people are starting to lose faith in htc their support.

There's definitely a shortage going on. Virgin Mobile (UK) have said that there's a stock shortage on the Desire in particular and it will be ongoing through the WHOLE of June and MOST of July (Probably the whole of July, they said).
They're getting a small shipment in on the 7th, but it's a VERY small shipment. So small, they're no longer selling them on anything less than 30ppm contracts! And that's only to existing Virgin MEDIA contract holders.
Glad I got mine when I did lol

Motorola Stereo Bluetooth headphones S9 HD

Did my research into what I think is the best stereo Bluetooth headset for me and my Samsung Galaxy S phone. I decided on the Motorola S9 HD headset (not to be confused with the older Motorola S9 headset).
Started to look at prices and saw that the prices seemed to start from an eye watering £69 and up. I then came across the website http://www.narmart.com which seemed to sell the same product for 3 different prices:
£15 - http://www.narmart.com/s9hd-bluetooth-headset-headphone-motorola-p-875.html
£35 - http://www.narmart.com/motorola-rokr-music-stereo-bluetooth-headphones-p-2523.html
£36 - http://www.narmart.com/motorola-rokr-music-stereo-bluetooth-headphones-p-1216.html
The website pages didn't really explain what the differences were so I obviously ordered the cheaper one at £15. It finally arrived a week a half later and noticed that it had been shipped from China (no indication that this would happen from the website). I should also add that the website interface is extremely poor:
I received no email confirming my order.
I placed the order on Saturday and by Sunday it was showing as delivered. Later found out that it had only been dispatched on the Sunday.
When raising a ticket through the website, the ticket history displays all responses with the same text used for the first ticket query.
Anyway, my first thought was that this was some cheap knock off but having used the product for the last 2 days, it seems very genuine (even if it is actually a knock off). The build quality is good, performance is great and it performs fully as expected.
My questions are:
Has anyone heard of this company before?
Why would there be 3 products that appear the same for 3 different prices on the same company website?
As a consumer ordering from a website, how can I know where it is being shipped from? Apart from the About Us page which mentions it's a Hong Kong company (only spotted this after ordering), there is no indication that it would come from abroad. Obviously, there is the risk that additional costs would be incurred if import charges are applied.
How can I check if this is a knock off or legitimate device made by Motorola?
Thanks in advance
