xda2s no loner for sale

I might be able to get my hands on some XDA2s at a reasonable price to be able to sell them on to you at a attractive price. - i will be finding out tommorrow.
I'd be willing to sell them at £430.00 + £6 P&P.
These are a one off price and NO contract is nessecary.
They are locked to the O2 UK network but unlocking sofware will probably be out soon?. UK only
Let me know if you are interested. First come first served, either PM or on here I will take the time of the submission first and place you on the reservations list.
I am giving you guys first shout since I know you all love your XDA's.If not they will go on eBay a few days after I get them
This handset is £599.99 on The Link website and £582.83 on Uplands website.

You might want to hold off buying them if they are that expensive as i think you will have trouble reselling them, you dont want to get stuck with 4 of them and be unable to sell them
Expansys is selling the Qtek 2020 (XDA2) for only £399.95 brand new including 12 months warranty and its unlocked for any network

Isn't the XDA2s better than the XDA2?
So for £30.00 more isn't it a good deal u think?

hi guys
i am getting a xda2s on contract from 02 select for 119.99. i have asked this price to be checked twice and as its on the notes of my account i am getting it fot this price. they have none in stock till next monday.
regards kevin

your bills must be high to be with o2 select, they reward their customers by giving lower prices on upgrades and all sort of other benefits

Looks like the supplier is not going to sell me them now at the price I was going to get them for so this thread is dead.

We can do them at that price if anyone is interested but the P&P is £9.95 nextday Royal mail special delivery.
They are in stock right now.

XDA IIs for sale
Any one interested in a brand new O2 XDA IIs which has never been used. I bought it for myself as a Xmas present but after reading the manual found I won`t be using most the functions. too much for me. So I`m selling it sim free at £399 + £8.99 P&P special delivery. My email is blue_sea at hotmail.co.uk

O2 Exec for £139.99 any tariff!?!

I have just been on the O2 website (www.o2.co.uk) and the O2 exec is on there for £139.99. Out of curiosity, I selected the phone and chose the lowest tariff (online 50, 12 months £19.00).
Sure enough, at the checkout, the phone was still £139.99!
Is this right anyone? I had a look on the carphone warehouse site and for the same phone on the same tariff, we are talking nearly £400!
I paid double that for the XDA11s less than 12 months ago on the anytime 200!
This means that if you bought the phone, paid £19.00 per month for 12 months and used your existing sim card, the total cost of the phone would be £367.99!

Buy one quickly before they realize
It must be a mistake :!:

Yep, I bought mine yesterday and true enuf, the phone was £139.99. I chose to go for the 200 mins/750 texts bundle cuz I know I'm gonna use it all...
I also paid for next bloody day delivery (to be delivered before 12 today). I tried using the tracking numbers (yes, numbers. O2 Didn't even know what the second one was for...!) on the DHL site but they weren't recognised... A phone call to DHL later and the woman on the end said... "Oh, it's been sent to the Birmingham sorting office and not Milton Keynes. You won't get it 'til Monday now."
FFS
Thankfully O2 have refunded my delivery charge. Not the point tho, I wanted play play.

It's no mistake! Mine turned up this morning! Get them while they're hot!

Bloody hell! looks like its upgrade time

looks like its 139.99 if you sign up for the 18 MONTH contract.
i have a staff account, so ill wait til i can upgrade, and get it cheaper!! 8)

I selected 12 months contract and it was the same price

I'm thinking about getting the xda exec but I want to see pictures of people using it so I can see approximately how big it is, it might be too big for me to handle.

It is probably close to a wholesale price for O2
and they want to increase the number of subscribers by
all means to look good for the shareholders
at the end of this year.
Tells you a story what a ripoff
are the companies like T-Mob, who had increased
(!) the price of MDA Pro to 900 euro from 750 euro last week, for those
who don't want a subscription.

blue angel size 125x71x19 mm 210g
exec size 127.7 x 81 x 25mm 285g

Yes it is still available for the same price. I also thought it was a mistake.
I called online sales to order and i was told it was only available with the 35 pound 3G tarrif. So i ordered online for the 139 ponds with the 19 pound Online 50 12 Month Tarrif and recieved it next day. I told my friend and he got his this morning but the screen was cracked so a replacement is on its way.
Your free minutes can be used with Voice or Video Calls and after the free stuff video calls are the same rate as voice calls.
It is 10mm wider than the XDAII and a few mill thicker but it does feal resonable but i have big hands. But i really love the keypad and i can thumb type as fast as i can type on a normal keyboard.
The voice dialing over blutooth works great so in most case there no need to even remove it from my pocket when making and recieving calls.
And not simlocked either :lol:

Got mine yesterday for 149 in the O2 shop with a 200 tariff doubled for six months - great bit of kit but still getting used to it, at the price I cannot understand what they are doing, the IIs is a good unit (and I will continue to use it) but the Exec far out shines the capability of the less equipped devices - Mike

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)

What price are O2 UK selling the orbit for?

Anyone know what the instore price is for a "25 pm tarrif?
I called O2 today and to upgrade my exec on a £25 tarrif they wanted £259 pounds. Nearly fell off my chair laughing, PAC code on its way to me hello vodaphone

i just upgraded to 02 orbit for free!

I just upgraded to o2 200 £30.00 / month ( same as I've been on for ages ) - phone cost £99.99.
I think if i'd gone for £35.00 / month the cost drops to £49.99

Best deal on t-mobile (who needs wifi)
I went for an MDA Compact III (I dont use wi-fi).... I got it on 18month contract UFIX for £15 a month (this is the UFIX) then £7 a month bolt on for web and walk (unlimited connection).... The t-mobile web site is in fact more expensive than the shops... I went into my local t-mobile shop and picked up two with my girlfriend... the guy said they usually would be £40 for the phone but we could have them for £20 each... so a 18 month contract for 22.00 a month and £20 for the phone which we both thought was an excellent deal!... the boxes were unsealed (but) the phones were intact and not touched just shown to customers... there is quite a few t-mobile shops with ones opened and you can get a good deal on these handsets, I did go to another t-mobile shop before hand but the Artemis looked like it had been dropped so I didnt touch it !....

free of charge at o2 shop - i am on £30 per month tariff but had my qtek s100 since june last year.

i got mine 49.48 on T-Mobile Flext web 'n' walk 22.50 a month for the full 18 month contract. was on T-Mobile website for 79.99!! So better deal on the High Street.

Thank you, so basically they were trying to rip me off :-(
Shame the t-mobile version doesn't have wifi as I do use it quite a bit with my xda exec
Will try a local store next and see if they give me a more realistic offer, I think my problem was I don't normally go over my minutes so O2 are probably not that bothered if I move.
Ta

just to say it seems some shops have been getting the price confused on this handset, when I phoned the store (to see if they had any cheap microsd cards) the day after....they said they gave me the phone free by accident as the pricing hadn't been sorted with them by o2. Reckon they had to pay upgrade charges for me thanks o2

I phoned up for a PAC code and they upgraded mine for free £35 tariff.

I tried O2 earlier today, the local shop didn't have any Orbit's in stock, they wouldn't offer any decent sim only tariffs to use GPRS so I decided to move elsewhere (T-Mobile Web and Walk).
O2 wouldn't issue a code over the phone to move networks - I have to wait for a text message, T-Mobile account and device is set-up, just waiting to port the number across.
I can live without the WiFi to be honest, if I need it I will use one of my other toys, both my main phones (Artemis and MDA-III) still feel lighter in the pocket than carrying around either the Exec or IIs both of which are bricks using extended batteries.
Ten years plus with O2 - goodbye, you really need to address the mobile internet costs, your tariff is beyond a joke - Mike

O2 are not selling the Orbit sim free as it is there "baby" and will only be released with a contract for now.

on my £20 contract o2 UK told me that i did not spend enough to justify a cheaper upgrade - the £200 was too much for me, considering they would have given me £100 to stay with my old imate jam (so £300 upgrade then).
so i cancelled, in writing. would have gone with o2 online.
i just received a text giving me a finishing date when someone from o2 called asking why i was quitting. he offered me a great deal:
100mins 400text £15/month and £100 for the orbit.
chuffed!
moral: i don't think o2 are so prepared to offer better deals if you just threaten to quit with them - but maybe if you get more serious....

Well I left O2, and when contacted the chap was most reasonable when I explained the reason for leaving was due to the high cost of the GPRS usage. He inquired which provider I was switching to - when I mentioned the Web n Walk contract he said little more, my mind was made up prior to the call.
No offer they could make would come close, there again it all depends how you use the device, at between 15 to 25MB per day when mobile I had to address the cost of GPRS - Mike

Can anyone tell me if the T-Mobile version of the O2 Orbit has Wi-FI I seen from an earlier post that this may not be the case. But I am not sure this is correct? thanks Jd76.

Hi jd76 - it has not i am afraid - why they have done that seems madness but there you go

The T-Mobile MDA Compact-III as it is known does NOT have WiFi when supplied in the UK, certain other European versions of the T-Mobile MDA-C-III do have WiFi, so I guess its rip of Britain time again! that said the device is very good and combined with the GPRS Web & Walk you have internet where ever and when ever you like (its just a bit slow) - Mike

Thanks Meschle & Mikealder but I would prefer Wi-Fi built in so looks like O2 when time for upgrading...thanks..

us orbit?
when will artemis or orbit be available in the us?

O2 Best Deals
I went into the Watford store in the UK and said that I had my pac code with me from Vodafone and immediately got a free XDA Orbit (which comes unlocked) on a 12 mnth tariff for £35 a month (400 mins, 100 txt), and after 6 months I can lower my tariff. Just waiting for a 2gb micro sd now. £39.99 from play.com

Hi,
It may worth noting that other than for one month in last years contracr o2 never logged my GPRS usage.
I had a 6mb usage limit and according to their site I never used any of the allowance! Though in the one month they did log it they stung me for an extra £20.
As I never used my Wifi on my JAMin it was a no-brainer switching to T-Mobile and I got the same deal as one of the other posters @ £49 for phone Flext20 (£22.50 per month with WnW).
I was paying £24 with o2.
Regards

Best Sim-Free UK Deals

There was a rumour going around it would be £430 sim-free from Phones 4U on release, but I can confirm that it costs £530 and £500 if you but a pay-as-you-go sim with it.
I was holding out for the £430 deal so I'm screwed now - so who has the cheapest sim-free deals in the UK?

If you're willing to do some legwork-
O2 contract comes with
50 mins/250 texts/100mb data for £13.50pm + £179 upfront.
Take out this contract and remove the data bolt on making it £10.50pm. Through TCB you get £50.50 cashback. £10.50 x 24 months= £252 + £179= £431 (- £50.50 cashback) = £380.50 over 2 years.
The phone comes unlocked from o2. You can cancel the contract and technically you wouldn't have to pay VAT on the remaining £252 so it'd leave you around £200 to pay off to cancel the contract. (o2 might not agree to take off vat meaning you'd have to pay the full £252) Or you can use the sim as an extra for light use (pay £10.50 every month for 24 months)
Extra-
Might be worth waiting till easter weekend as o2 might remove the £179 upfront cost like they did last year with the Desire S.
If you know someone who works at o2 they can add a 30% discount per month so it'd be £7.35pm not £10.50pm. (£305 with cashback over 2 years)

About £490 delivered with Handtec.

Sim free
Carphone warehouse has it for £479.99 sim free and website is showing it as in stock. Mines being delivered to the store around 1pm today!

Cheers, I can't figure out how to remove the bolt-on though?...
Also does anyone know anyone working for O2 who can get me a discount? ;p
*EDIT* Wait, if you cancel your contract early you have to pay £345? £345 + £179 (the cost of the phone) = £524?

Nope, how it works is. You sign up online through topcashback http://www.topcashback.co.uk/o2/
It will track and £50.50 and will be paid into an account of your choice within 6 weeks (do not cancel the contract before the £50.50 is payable)
You go for the £13.50 deal which includes a data bolt on for £3 for 100mb.
When you get the contract/phone you can remove it from the o2 website account page or call up customer services and get them to do it. That way you will be paying £10.50 a month for a sim card and the phone. The £179 is taken upfront straight away.
Now you have two options. Either to spread the cost of the phone out by just paying £10.50 every month. Or cancelling (after TCB has paid you the £50.50) by ringing up o2 customer services. I got my figures wrong for cancelling the contract early. it would actually be much less if o2 allow the 20% vat off thingy (because you haven't used the contract). However i've heard reports that o2 have stopped doing this now. so it might be better to just stick with the monthly cost. You could try cancelling early. But i'd only say go for it if the agree to let 20% off the £252 you'd pay over 2 years.
Hope that makes sense^
Also, the phone comes unlocked. + i've edited my post above to reflect the cancellation price.
+ Wait till easter weekend. last year o2 had an easter sale where they reduced the upfront costs from £179 down to £0 on select handsets. If the One X/even the One S is one of those handsets this year then i'd say go for it.
