Ebay XDA2 @ £399

Anybody hunting for XDA2 here is a list of ebay xda2 on sale now, this guy has sold a bunch of them in the past and has excellent feedback.
Go to www.ebay.co.uk and search for 3379006265 if that one is sold just click on sellers other items, It says he has 15 units for sale.

I bought from him. Very reliable person
Regards,
Claudio.

Claudio,

Crap!
I just spent £85.00 more than I needed!
DOH!

um.... seems tempting to buy one but seems too good to be true :S
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

Brand New XDA2s for sale UK.

Hey guys, I have decided that this handset is far too unstable for my needs. A 76% chance of the 'no sound in call' issue is too much for me.
As some of you have prolbably read, due to the whistling screen I am getting a brand new XDA2s sent to me by 02. Should arrive very soon. I am going to sell or swap it before even opening the box and try for either an XDA2i, iMate Jam or Sony Ericsson P910.
I thought, seeing as you were all so supportive and helpful I would offer this forum first shout at it before I put it on ebay. I will sell it for a slightly lower price in appreciation. If anyone has any offers of swaps or money I will consider anything.
Sorry if this is against the forum rules. If it is I will gladly retract the thread.
Cheers -Mike

ah well, shame you said today, as my bro wanted one and he just entered into a 12 month contract just to get one!!!! :roll: id have prob made you an offer!!!

Hmmm, I solved the Call silence problem by upgrading just the Radio Rom to 1.12. Never had the screen issue tho.
As for stability, Corporate Mode solves all.
Give the new one a chance.
Or pm me if still selling. :wink:

Well theres the problem, I'm not up for taking it out the box to give it a chance when the odds of a crappy screen or crappy radio hardware are so high. I'd rather just buy something I know will work.
I am defo still interested in selling. I gather you can buy an XDA2s on ebay for around £310. I'll probably sell for about £285 if anyone fancies it.

I've seen them go on eBay for £225 so good luck getting that price.

I might be interested in swapping my Brand New XDA2i for the 2s. The 2i has all the original packaging obviously and is unlocked.
Make me an offer as the 2i is worth slightly more.

I've seen them go on eBay for £225 so good luck getting that price.

Really?!?! For boxed brand new ones? I only checked what was on today and £300 seemed about average. Hmmm, perhaps I'll ebay it.
Considering the 2i offer. Thery're both the same price from the O2 shop. I know 'cos the 2s was actually an insurance replacement for my XDA2 and I had the choice of 2i or 2s.
It's a shame to sell 'cos the 2s is such a nice concept, but it all seems so rushed. From what I read on these forums, changing ROMS rarely works for noticably improving stability. I really don't know if I trust HTC devices now. I mean before the BA, I had an XDA2 which was a bit more stable, but if I was ever waiting for an important call I' have to swap handsets. I also had the Orange C500 and it was appauling for receiption, no sound in calls and a lack of basic phone features :S
If anyone has a Sony Ericsson UIQ device I would gladly swap.

I also have a P910i which is brand new fully boxed and unlocked. I got it on an upgrade but I havent used at all.
add me to ur MSN contacts [email protected]
so we can chat about it.
Where abouts do you come from and how would be do the swap?

As for average pricing of the BA's on Ebay ( I tracked them for over a MONTH, before purchasing both an SPV M2000 and an XDA IIs ). I'd say that the prices have gone up and come down and gone back up again.
I just saw two auctions close within an hour of themselves, where someone got an MDA III for about 250 GBP, and an XDA IIs went for 311.99 GBP, so go figure. Some of the ones going for less we a year or so old, and rather used. Those have been seen for around 205-215 GBP.
So if you've got a brand NEW one, in the box, with the wrapper, I'd say START at 250GBP ( If you're not going to swap it ), and if you can get up to 300-320, you're not doing too bad.
Good luck. I haven't decided which one I'm going to sell the SPV or the XDA IIs. They're both unlocked ( Gee, I wonder where I got the software to unlock them....Hmmm )

O2 Exec/ JasJar for SALE!!!!

I have Two XDA Exec. for Sale.
Both Brand New Unlocked (Working in UK.. No Scams or Claims) SIM Free
I'm looking around £600 - £550 For them. Boxed, Manuels Chargers etc.. Brand New.
I bought them just for the Contract and will be using the Contract for Business, but the Handset is just too Complex for a Young Professional. Looking for Quick Sale so that i can afford a New Pay as You Go.
Thanks
Any Questions Please E-mail me @ [email protected]

Hey it's you again! For a moment when I read this post, I got a funny sense of deja-vu! :lol:
Let's see if we can stop things a little sooner in this thread. It is possible to buy an O2 Exec completely for around £350, paying off the 12 months contract etc. It is also possible to buy a Qtek from Expansys for about £600 and an iMate JasJar for around £30 more. Needless to say, this latter option comes with a solid warranty from a reputable trader.
Honestly, go flog'em on eBay or return them to O2 and get handsets you want to use... Like you were told in the other thread, this forum is not a marketplace - it's about helping each other. That includes warning the unsuspecting about high prices.
Have a nice day now!

Suggest a Price that i should be selling it for them.. Cuz my Contract is around 450. Anyway and the thing is i need money to pay off my contract and buy a new pay as you go. so.. that is why i want 550 to 600 for it..
Still Cheaper then 650GBP from retailers!

Tell you what, i'm due for a renewal in a few weeks, I'll offer you 100 quid seeing as how you can get them from O2 on a new contract for 140.

Actually
I got mine for 19 quid .. with a 54/mo contract (I needed the 36mb traffic package)

bought/contract /best deals

as some one who is about to take the plunge and get a TP2 im wondering how people purchased them and what deall they got
if im right they cost £504.85 including vat
best deal to suit me on contract is voda talker £30 + with mobile web
500 mins, 100 text (dont text that much) and unlimited mobile web 18 months @ £34.26 + £616.86
now for that the phone comes with no branding and unlocked, so why just buy it then get a contract is there something i am missing
so whats deals have people gone for and why
thanks for any input

Vodafone 1 year contract, 27.50 € a month, + Unlimited Online Blox
I need to pay 286 extra for the TP2, total is ~650?
Not too bad. Because the the TP2 alone cost 600€. So I can call 200 minutes/400texts a month, for around €50 a year
And I'm getting a free 16gb microSD card from the e-tailer I'm buying it from. Great offer if you ask me.

Best deals I could find
Hi there,
I posted this on a different page but this is probably the best place for it...
I'm currently talking with T-Mobile and they have told me that they will be getting branded handsets in at the end of the week, personally I prefer a sim free version but it looks like it will be possible by next week to buy them on the network with a lovely discounted rate.
Handtec are selling the phones at £502.40 inc VAT
As I'm a fussy git I've managed to wangle an upgrade through Carphone Warehouse so it will be fully unlocked, sadly they dont have them in stock yet so I will have to wait until the end of the week :-(
For anyone who could do with this phone on a new contract on T-Mobile/Vodafone I urge you to check out www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk as they are doing some amazing deals, I couldnt help but drool, I would recommend the Combi 30 + package, £25 for the phone and £35 per month with web and walk thrown in and a shed load of free calls and unlimited texts.
I hope this info is of use to some of you.
UPDATE - I have cancelled my old T-Mobile contract and gone for the Combi 30 + Web 'N' Walk deal on www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk as it seems the best way of getting the phone with a very useful tarriff.
Cheers guys
Terry

Bought it for 440 euro's. Was a mistake by the retailer. But I'm still getting it for that price (lucky me)
now the prices have changed already

Went with mobile phones direct phone £66 and t mobile £30 a month. best deal for me and the shop is only in southampton so just a 30 min car journey if i have probs.

Neckermann!
I was doubting if I should buy it there, but thought that it would probally end up in paying 600 for it. As the price is now 599 but it was indeed 440 before.
But it is a pretty sweet deal you got there !

Radio Exists!!
More good news... some very bright spark has found that the radio hasnt been removed and has created a cab for us to use!!

Hi,
I to ordered with neckerman and have a "confirmation" e-mail for the 440eur. I got no mail as to the price being changed or my order being canceled. I however also did not receive any unit yet nor did i get a shipping confirmation.
I'm pretty sure there is no way to hold me to a higher price.. the other way around however..
How / why are you so sure you will get the unit for the " confirmed" price.. there is some small print discaimer for wrong pricing.
I'd be interested to get my order definitively confirmed to...
Cheers

Thre are a lot of people who asked confirmation from neckerman (in a dutch ICT forum: tweakers.net). It seems that all people who have paid already using IDEAL get it for the prize they paid. People who asked a transaction form (accept giro in dutch) still have to pay 600 or get their money back.
The product is available in the Netherlands since today, so I expect to receive it pretty soon
(the fact is: people who used IDEAL closed the buying agreement by paying.)

got mine from MPD
£25 for the phone and a 18month contract with vodafone
£34 500 mins 100 text and unlimited web (which is what i want it for )

thanks i'll look on tweakers.net

help/advice please
i am planning to buy tp2 and saw this but it looks too good to be true. the listing says that it is single camera version. is this a true/original htc touch pro 2?
has anybody seen a new tp2 as cheap as this? the seller has good feedback but still i want to be sure and hence seeking advice here.

Looks OK to me. I bought my TP2 from a UK based ebay shop 6 months or so ago, cost me £170 brand new. Mine is the US T-Mobile version, same or similar as the one in the listing you're looking at. There is no front facing camera on these models, also a few other differences to the EU phones, but they are genuine TP2s. Be aware though that any screen protectors or cases you look for will have to be for the specific model that you are getting, the UK ones will not fit, usually. I found a flip case & screen protectors for mine but had to buy from abroad, took about 6 weeks to arrive. As for the device, I couldn't be happier with it, flashed a custom ROM from this forum & all working 100%. Hope this helps, & if you go ahead with the purchase enjoy your new phone!

are other specifications same as any other tp2?
why would other screen protector not fit? is screen size/shape not the same?

Yes, aside from having no front camera, all other specs are the same. The screen protectors won't fit because the hardware buttons and speaker are different. Also the USB port is moved a little on the carrier specific models I think, so some cases may not fit properly. The T-Mobile version has a different colour scheme and provides access to the SD slot without removing the battery cover.

Where did you get yours?

Hi all,
Just out of interest and for any future defects / issues.
Thought I would start a poll on where you sourced your Rhodium.
Would be intersting to see how this develops, I'll start another later in the week to record poor customer service and another to track defects.
Those of you that select other, could you please post in the thread to let us know where (if you don't mind telling) you sourced it from.
Cheers,
Beasty

Whilst mobilephonesdirect seemed quick and efficient with the ordering process, their '3 months free insurance' is a pain in the rear. I already have adequate insurance through my LloydsTSB bank account (nice perk), not to mention my home contents policy also covers it, even out and about. MPD make it hard to scrap the insurance, or make it easy to forget somehow! If I forget, it's £6 per month direct debit. Now I gotta go through the cancellation process and explain to their sales team that I'm already covered and I'm happy with it, blah blah...

2 FROM Clove UK.
best price around and next day delivery from UK to channel islands for £10.
and...£25 voucher .

MPD
very good service and next day delivery. customer service was good so overall was happy. i use online banking quite alot so once DD for insurance is set up i will cancel. 3 months free is good actually but not needed if you already have cover

i got mine from MPD i seen the 3 months free insurance on the bill but nothing about having after that or a charge
whats the crack do you just phone up and cancel

You'll get a letter through the post confirming it. Got mine today. Lots of small print and cba to read it all, but it does say you can phone them up to cancel. Just be prepared for the sales pitch

In Montreal, at www.cellengros.com
They're quite a bunch of crazy fellas, but they do deliver. Mine arrived a week late, tho, they said problems with customs. But all in all, they have great service when you're friendly, if not, well you're screwed.
Seriously. These guys are crazy I tell you. But you should not have any problems. They always delivered when needed.

Faria,
What's the deal with this £25 voucher of which you speak?
Can that be used to reduce the cost of TP2, or do you get it after purchasing to spend on next purchase?
I'm VERY close to just buying a TP2 without contract so I can stay on my current O2 simplicity plan. But it ain't cheap! £25 less might just seal the deal...
Do people reckon that the outright cost will drop when the networks start to offer it on contract?

Hi Orb,
Glad to see you are still hanging around here.
I doubt people would be too happy to advertise how much they much they paid for theirs. I had mine on pre-order from Expansys for £500, but canceled it when MPD released their deals. I ended up paying £24 for the device on a 18 month contract with TMob, £35 / month 700 minutes, unlimited web and texts.
Others feel free to advertise what bargains / deals you got with yours too.
Perhaps for future devices, if we have enough users that are interested in Sim free deals, we may be able to negotiate a decent discount based on bulk orders from one of the suppliers.
Take care my friend
Cheers,
Beasty

from handtec.co.uk ..... international shipping to Qatar
total cost with shipping 475 str pound = about 783 usd

I got mine from talkthisway.de - unbranded version in combination with a new contract with t-mob.
Usual it costs there 559€, about 782 USD

Got mine in Holland from smartphonestunts.nl with T-Mobile subscription extension. I guess the prices in Holland are about the same with most (internet)stores, since it is still very new, but I got a free car usb charger so I decided to go for this one.
By the way isn't it strange that there are some people that take the time to vote on the poll, but give the answer "not telling"..... that seems a waste of cpu cycles to me.
