Replacement 11s

I got my 11s in November and am getting i replaced by O2, They are out of stock at the minute. Does anyone think the new stock will be improved any or be exactly the same.

Shoot, they are supposed to be doing the same with me, did they say when they might be getting them back in?

Just curious, but can I ask what went wrong with them please?
(I also have one so little concerned!)
Thanks!

Got mine a couple of weeks ago and according to O2 at the time they had 3000 in stock?

Mine is just a bit loose so i thought i'd get it replaced while i could.
Just wondered if the sofware would be improved and with them being out of stock thought it might be a new batch.

Just got mine replaced and it's exactly the same (bought in november, sent back in december, recieved new one this morning)

Replacement XDA IIs for XDA IIi
I rec'd my XDA IIs in December and by the beginning of February the keyboard so loose it felt like it was about to come off!
I therefore decided that as I wasn't using the keyboard as much as I'd expected (found it to cramped) I've agreed with where I bought it from to swap for the new XDA IIi which I've just received and must admit is better suited to my needs.
Also got fed up with nobody being able to hear me when using the XDA IIs although saying that a couple of people have commented about the IIi as well!!
:?

Just noticed that there is a review of the IIs in this months PDA buyer, i think they didn't spend enough time playing with it, it's good but not that good!!!

I've used the XDAIIs from last Dec, after 2 replacements I finally got one that the keyboard is really tighted, not badly loose like the 2 previous ones. But I've seen a lot of users complained that after a few weeks of use it will loose gradually therefore I haven't used it as much as I had expected. The keyboard was also one of the main reasons I bought this phone, too bad HTC couldn't make it work. I've decided to exchange the XDAIIs for the XDAIIi as I wouldn't use the keyboard as it's supposed to. I'm fear that someday the keyboard would fall off if I used it too much. What is the point of having the keyboard if you would never use it??? Anyone who is thinking about buying XDAIIs should consider the problem with the keyboard, if you can live with it, XDAIIs is a great piece of machine.

Should I buy Qtek 9090?

Hi,
my first post to this awesome forum.
I'm going to buy a new phone in next two weeks and I have 2 very strong phones competing against each other
Which one should I buy - Qtek 9090 or Nokia 9500? And why?
atm the Qtek seems a little bit better choice for me. The only thing that keeps me away from ordering it right away is the keyboard. In nokia 9500 it's very good for the stuff I would need it.
What do I need from the keyboard then? Well because of my work I do lot of work in IRC, so I would need a IRC-client for the Qtek (that shouldn't be a problem) but the problem is how well does the keyboard work in IRC or messenger stuff? Or does every application have it's own "touch-keyboard" what you can use with the stylus? I know Nokia has a very good keyboard for this kind of stuff, so it's the "leader" in this comparision area.
I need opinions and comments on both devices. Especially considering the keyboard.

Any opinions about the keyboard in IRC and messenger environments? Please I really need these!

The screen of then nokia and its own os do not let you install as many programs as on a qtek with windows 2003.
Keyboard works fine on my qtek.

The keyboard of the Blue Angel is great, IMO.
Without it, I would not be able to keep up on MSN. For anything keyboard intensive, it's a godsend.
However, it's a bad time to buy Pocket PCs, with every company almost ready to release the new lines.
I would wait.

The keyboard is great...but not that great....
its great for like 30 mins or so...after that u get kinda bored.. IMO.
but u can always get an external keyboard...maybe a foldable type if ur always on the go....
better yet...wait for a couple of weeks and get the HTC Universal (MDAIV)
that will kick some communicator ass

Couple of week... is it going to be out that soon? See this vid which shows it:

HOW TO TEST FOR FAULTS - 2nd Hand XDA 2s Arriving in 10 days

Hello all, firstly! thanks to all those good people for making these forums!
I am getting a XDA 2s from an EBAY seller, its 2 months old, what should i look out for faultwise? like testing the screen or testing for Dead Pixels.
Button testing is quite straight forward. Moving Parts, I'm a classic worrier so i'm bound to have some setup questions.
I have all the info on new firmware for ROM updates, is it best to Upgrade the ROM 1st ? this seems to make sence as I know how slow FIRMWARE UPGRADES take, hopefully ironing out some existing bugs, thats why I wait a year before I buy any peice of Tech these days.
My last phone is a battered to death Nokia 6310i so go easy on me
"I cant wait to get involved with some new BLUETOOTH nightmares."
he said sarcasticly, involving XP SP2, WIDCOMM drivers a LINKSYS BLUETOOTH DONGLE, a JABRA BT250 headset and POCKET SKYPE

Biggest complaints people seem to have with their xda 2s is either that the screen works itself loose from the keyboard, or that the screen makes a whistling noise. I have had mine for 4 months now though and i haven't seen either problem yet (touch wood!)
In terms of firmware updates, the o2 one is crap so you will need to cook your own ROM, prob from the IMATE 1.40, which is the most stable IMHO, although everyone seems to be going for the beta of WM2005.
Hope your phone is perfect when it arrives, sure it will be,
HTH

XDA 2's F*%*#*g things !
I have dreamed of owning one of the xda2 series and now in the last 2 weeks i have owned 4 of the bloody things 2 XDA 2s's and 2 XDA2i's.
With the xda 2s i had the same problem that everyone seems to get, the hanging screens the crashing 4/5 times a day!
then swapped for another 2s it was even worse took the advice about doing the corperate install work slightly better for 1 day then it crashed completely and would not even restart after a hard reset!
took that one back and tried the 2i first one was ok for 2 days then constantly reset every 6 mins again and again and again and well i think you get the picture!
I now have a second 2i I really hope it works i love these things but i would love them even more if they bloody worked!!!

Thanks FINDUS and Cording59 for your words, Just letting you know it finaly arrived, slight scratch on screen where the battery was LOOSE ontop of it in transit! stupid stupid person!, you wait till i give FEEDBACK on that EBAY sale, anyway at least it arrived and is otherwise immaculate, yes it crashes easy dosnt it wonder why they sold it?? Crashed in Explorer 1st YAY! then in just about everyother program haha bloody microsoft the nightmare biggins, although Im beggining to enjoy my MS problems in a sick twisted way, except when it comes to bluetooth. I'm still running old firmware, so the XDA is in dire need of an upgrade, but which one? iMate 1.40 or WM2005 I might put a post togeter to discuss this. my other similar post is here:

Going back to my Blackberry!

I MIGHT be going back to my Blackberry! I miss it... The only feature that I'm really going to miss on my TP2 is the Youtube app. I wish Blackberry had an ultimate youtube app.
I know what you guys are thinking. TP2 can do so much more and yeah I know that, but I'm a blackberry fan. The only reason I got the TP2 was to try it and I liked it. It's a great phone and all, but in the back of my head I was thinking about my Blackberry. So once the Blackberry BOLD 9700 drops in Nov. for T-Mobile, I'm there.
If you guys are interested in buying a T-Mobile TP2 around when Nov. starts let me know, I will be selling it for $399 and everything comes with it except my beautiful EASECASE then. If not then I'll put it up on the XDA and craigslist for sale.

I am thinking of going bk andriod, tmo is droping a moto clique, that is the same as verizons Driod, these have the fastest cpu on any phone, hihest screen reso also, and adriod is just starting to get sick. I only owned BB for the past 8yrs, BB is BB all the same, nothing really changes.

See ya! I have a Blackberry now and I hate it. I only have it as a spare since my Xperia died on me. I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my TP2 tomorrow. I won't miss Blackberry

I was looking at my cousins 8900 which was the one I use to have before the TP2. I have a feeling I will regret it if I go back because the TP2 is so much better. So yeah I will just wait until RIM releases something crazy and NEW...If ever!

hehe ...
for me the same thing 2 weeks ago,
I bought the BB Bold 9700, I have the TP 2 & Diam 1 & the Nova (Touch) laid off, maybe i come back with the HTC Throphy when WM works better
Maybe I will rise again ...

Move to marketplace section

Shame to hear your case...
For me it is a great business device which fills all my needs
If you decide to sell ask a Mod to move this post to it´s proper section, so you´ll have more chances to sell your Rhodium.

Taking the plunge! Awwww!

Almost got the HD2 - but after reading about the still bad WMo and heard about the 'Bravo' I decided to wait. I have now ordered it from T-Mob (£90 2yrs £10/m).. but already there are new phones coming up!!! Always when you buy the 'latest' phone, next day there is a new much better out! Its kinda annoying!
Some of you guys buy all of them as they come up... I will be stick with it for the next 24months... wondering what the mobile phone world is like then in 2012! Maybe theres a Iphone 5 or something, or maybe Nokia has come back. Anyway... Ive taken the plunge. Hope Desire is as good as they say!
