I am wondering if there's XDA IIi available in the Philippine market and how much is the cost....
Hi! I'm new member. You can see the price of OIIi at: http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/XDA_2i__XDA_IIi_.html
It was the price in UK! And in Philippine, I don't know. I'm a Vietnamese
according to O2 Asia tech support when i called them a couple months back, they have no plans on selling the IIi in asia, so you will have to get them from somewhere else.
on the upside, i can vouch for uplands, as i bought my xdaII from that site while i was in the UK last year. apart from having competitive prices, they are efficient and responsive in my experience & after sales service (while i was in the UK) was v good. also no trouble getting the unlocking code from them, though i had to go through a few people to do that.
me i'm gonna wait for the HTC universal due september 2005 =)
I'm in Vietnam. My brother will sent a XDA2i to me. He is in England. I don't know to unlock it! Could you give me the way to unlock it! Thank you very much!
hi =)
i bought mine on a 1 year contract, after which, of course, i had to get it unlocked to use it on a network other than O2.
If you are buying one from the UK, you will have to ensure that it is SIM-Free, (which is the one listed at £562.83 at that link you provided). if you have bought this, then there should be no problem.
if you bought it on any other tariff-based price, then they anticipate that you will go through your contract (i believe 12-month based) regardless of whether you get the unlocking code or not. to get the code i called uplands, who transferred me from the sales to some support department, where the person there had to go through several weeks of dealing with O2 to get me the code. i paid a fee (charged to me by O2 through uplands), and she later e-mailed the code to me. considering that this was one year after i purchased my xda from uplands, and have had little dealings with them (uplands) since, that she took the time & effort to do this for me left a very good impression on me. of course, this may vary by person, so i can't guarantee anything =) just speak for myself.
dunno about the IIi but there have been programs here to extract the unlocking code from the phone itself for the XDAII. though have run into some problems. since i already got mine 'officially', i havent read those thread carefully.
To somynex
It means: XDAIIi cann't be unlock if he has not used up all the fixed time regulated for this???

no it can be unlocked (the unlocking code can be obtained for a fee at any time). but in theory if you get it at a 1 year contract, they usually expect you to see out that one year. there are buy out clauses but those usually bump the price up to what you would've paid had you not bought it under a contract obligation in the first place.
i know people who have defaulted on their contracts but i like my good credit rating, and intend to keep it that way =)
The unlocking code can be obtained for free at any time? Where? How?

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...

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.........

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.
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.

Cheap XDA2s
Hi,
I have read some post and I agree with there staff being crap.
But they are also quite gullable 8) ... any Im excpecting my xd2s tomo for £49.99! on o2 600 but my line rental is also half price!
You really have to blag............
I'm just about to get a new phone as my contract is up with O2 and they wont offer me any upgrades at a reasonable price, and i was just about to order a three handset (Motorola E1000),
But if you can geta IIs for £49.99 and half price line rental, then that would suit me perfectly,
Can you let me know where you are getting it from ?
Cheers
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
The European/Asian version (A8181) won't work with AT&T 3G network, and the Australian version (A8183, Telstra branded) will work with AT&T 3G network as long as you are in the 850Mhz coverage area. From what I've heard, 850Mhz coverage includes all major cities. While I can't comment for your area, I can tell you that my A8183 works perfectly fine with AT&T 3G network in Chicago. AT&T has also stated that they are migrating all their 3G network to 850Mhz, leaving 1900Mhz only of EDGE.
Anyway, all of the info above can be found in other threads, what I want to add here is that Australian Dollars are dropping like CRAZY and it is now the great opportunity for you AT&T US users to buy the Desire from Australia.
Every US sellers have been selling this AT&T 3G compatible model on eBay for at least USD700, some even over USD800. There is this Australian eBay seller has been selling a few Desire for AUD700 each, and (although not listed in the auction, but you can ask him) he charges around AUD50 to ship to the US using EMS.
I bought mine from this seller around two weeks ago, with a total of roughly AUD 750, which, at the exchange that time, was about USD 700. Two weeks later, today, I was curious and searched "Telstra Desire" on eBay again and found that this seller still has a few A8183 model for sale, again at AUD 700 each. The difference? Now AUD has fallen SO much that AUD 750 costs only about USD 620~630... So if I had waited for two months, I could have saved 70 bucks!
Anyhow, I wrote this just to let you AT&T users to know that you don't have to pay $800 to get a AT&T compatible Desire. Just go to eBay and serach "Telstra Desire" and you will find the Australian seller I am talking about. He shipped pretty quickly, and with EMS if only take a few days to come to the US. The only problem I had in the process was that my phone was held by the US custom for a week, FOR NO REASON! When my phone arrived, the package showed no sign that it was inspected by the custom. Perhaps the custom was just too lazy and decided to take a week off processing packages.
Btw, in case you wonder, roms that work on the A8181 model work fine on the A8183. I followed the rooting procedure on Modaco forum, and installed Modaco custom rom r3 on my A8183 without any problem.
Yoz
Hah I think we think alike dude cause I got one from the same seller if I think you know? This the same guy?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320534188327
$578.06 + $49 Ship = $627 shipped for me ($49 Australia to STL, MO)
Not bad at all, especially for people that thought only option was an n1.
only 2 left now...
check the dudes Telestra's 850mhz HD2 also.. cheap! (Approximately US $660.64)
Best part is I get to make a nice chunk of that back with the sale of my old mint 8125 wizard and 8925 kaiser. cheers dude
Yup I bought my Desire from him.
Don't know how he get the Desire so cheap though, he is selling them cheaper than Telstra sells them. Before I bought the Desire from him, I was going to ask my friend in Australia to get the Desire from Telstra for me. But then Telstra was (and still is) selling it for AUD 779 (+ tax) w/o contract
http://www.telstra.com.au/shop/personal/Mobile-MobilePhones-HTCDesire?SMSESSION=NO
which was too for me.
I pick that Desire over the N1 because (a) I don't like the track ball, (b) I prefer physical button, and (c) I think the Desire looks better (personal preference). I have experience with rooting and flashing custom roms, and I knew the hardwares of the N1 and the Desire are similar enough that roms for one can be ported to the other within days. So even though I knew that the N1 would get new updates quicker, while the Desire has Sense (which I really love), this is not really an issue for me.
But I wasn't ready to pay $800 for (a)-(c) above, and luckily I found this seller on eBay. Given how cheap the AUD is these days, this is now an even sweeter deal.
Sweetness
Well that's great news im stoked to get mine then. I checked out the r3 release over at modaco looks mint as well will root and give that a shot after a week or so. You liking it how much bloatware in the telestra rom just curious?
I'm coming from my super old 8125 wizard (didn't need to upgrade) to this, so it should be rather sweet. I got mine out of contract cause i'm not on data plan and I don't need it (but have the option down the road) They will not add data to your service either if you're out of contract (4yrs out of contract here hah) many people have misconception of that.
Anyways it used to be even more greater savings it appears check out some of the feedbacks dude sold some HD2s for like $520 unlocked NIB. craziness gotta love those aussies on 850 data!
AS for how he gets them so cheap, I doubt he's able to sell with the auctions, just some copy/paste specs. I'm sure most people abroad think it's a scam. (Obviously not if you got yours, and he has 98% positive feedback at 238) Took me a good 15 mins to check it out, I was debating.
The guys name is SHIAUYI MA. Non-US verified on PAYPAL though so good to go completely safe. I will say i've been trying to get ahold of them with no response besides the paypal invoice. (had correct shipping and address though so looked good)
well
now there's only 1 left in the guys inventory, someone else jumped on it. The items in the pics are actual it appears check out the telestra symbol, as well the guy seems to sell a lot of gaming consoles and other tech to AU only with pics on the same wood table and such.
It was $760AU ($627USD) on my Paypal invoice yesterday morning ($60AU for shipping = $49USD) so yeah you're right tsekh501, as of today Aussie rates are great for us if you paid $750AU and it was actually $700 just 2 months ago.
I think i'll even take it over to the local AT&T and ask when the desire's coming out for us AT&T users
I have always had windows mobile, but have been fortunate of enough the past two months or so to use a lot of the recent Android builds for Kaiser, using donut and eclair 2.1 (at least runs well) I know the OS pretty well now. I dig it and was ready for the real thing. let's put that extra 64mb of ram over the N1 to use! Cheers
*Update
Seller responded last night, and it appears 4 more were sold as well after posting the link on here. Glad to have helped anyone out snagging one for cheap.
"Dear atom311,
Yes, It is how much australia post charges for int' express post to US.
Normally it takes 1-3 business days.
And your item should be ready to go out on Monday.
Thanks
- yoyopopo1214"
i was one of the guys that got this. the seller seems a bit hard to get a hold of, but i will reserve any judgement until i get the phone. i asked him when he was shipping the phone and could supply me with a tracking number and he replied that he shipped via int' express post and would follow up with a tracking number, which strikes me as odd because it shouldn't have been very hard to have included the number in that message. i'm sure he's a legit seller, i think he just lacks some customer service skills. maybe i'm just getting antsy because my kaiser got smoked over the weekend and i need a phone.
He is legit. I bought one form him and has been using it very happily since last week.
He doesn't communicate very well though. It took him more than a day to get back to me with the shipping quote, and when my package got stuck in LAX custom (which was NOT the seller's fault, btw) I emailed him to see if he knew what was happening but he didn't reply at all.
The phone is legit and the shipping is very quick (minus the stuck at custom part, which can happen to anything shipped from outside the US. If the package had gone through the custom within a day, tha phone could have arrived in 3 days), however.
yeah, before buying i went through his feedback and figured he's a legit seller, just wish he could work on his service skills a bit more.... oh well, i guess that's the price to pay for getting something at a cheaper price. can't reallly expect too much seeing as he's selling for less than telstra. if you don't mind me asking where in the US are you located at tsekh501?

Chicago, but somehow the phone landed at LAX.
Yoz
got mine today, perfect mint condition, NIB, never opened like stated. from Australia to St. Louis (Middle of the USA) in 4 days... sweetness! Anyways all is mint, dude is legit, I suggest keeping him on your favorites pages, see what he gets now and then, could actually make some dough in the US. Anyways, Im more than happy, they come like stated. 2GB SD for Telestra.
They'll probably all land at LAX of course, its the biggest and closest port to our Aussie pals
btw custom report shows David Huang as the shipper for anyone wondering
Nice!
Hello guys,
I bought a HTC HD2 to him on monday and I did a little research of the seller. That's amazing I got all your comments in xda
His communication is not that well but I hope it arrives before next monday.
Sorry this is not the right forum for my experience
many are selling their Galaxy Nexus saying waiting for lock code to unlock etc.. and others are saying its sim-free and unlocked
so who to believe? is it locked for those to took it on contract (o2 , orange , others) or its unlocked just tied up with the contract and can sell it easily to make quick cash?
thanks
Well Im in the UK and got the phone from Phones4u - tied to an Orange tarriff..... but I now have my T-Mobile SIM in it as ive got 6 weeks left before I can actually move my number to Orange.
Works fine
Some are locked. Some aren't.
It seems all O2 phones are locked. Some Three phones but not all of them and that the new contract phones4u are unlocked.
Either way I unlocked my O2 phone for £7 using eBay and it only took a few hours to get the code so it isn't tricky to unlock which is great for those in the US wanting to buy a phone as it would surely be cheaper to buy a locked phone and pay $15 on eBay for an unlock code.
So if have some friends in the UK who can get it for free due an upgrade or using the plan for their own i can make them happy paying them £400 cash per device and they use the service anyway and benefit some cash?
So who wanna be my friend for few devices?
wow no one? hehe i thought i'll be getting tons of PMs regarding the topic
seems i have no option but getting it over ebay overpriced :/

Probably because they wouldn't profit from it at all. If they buy them on contract they still end up paying at least the full price of the phone but as part of an increased monthly cost. When you then offer them £400 they probably end up about £100 out of pocket. Hardly a great deal for them.
i want to buy from canadagsm.ca the glide and send it to a family member who's living there. is anybody here bought from them? and more important is the IMEI of their phones are generic ones? (i know they sell an unlock version of the phone, so it can be unlocked with generic IMEI).

Hey taiber,
I just bought my (locked) glide from canadagsm with no issues. It was kinda sketchy as it came in a galaxy s2 box with only spanish instructions for the s2, but it shipped in time and the phone works and looks great!
thanks for the answer mate,
but its strange, you said its locked? they advertised that they only sell unlocked phones.
Hi,
I bought a Samsung SGH-I927R from canadagsm.ca. It works really well.
Some things:
- they charged a little extra for shipment to Belgium, outside of Canada/US (which is ok, i guess)
- it came UNlocked (AND rooted... which was a nice extra)
- their rooting user account was still the main account of the phone when it arrived, but a factory reset fixed this -without losing the network unlock (if that was ever necessary)
- it is named 'Samsung Captivate Glide' on their site, but it seems that 'Samsung Galaxy S Glide' (which was on the box) is the name of the Rogers version.
- They shipped it with the content description 'cellular phone', so some extra import taxes were paid. :-(
- The GPS issue I read about doesn't seem a problem for me. GPS works as it should.
- The phone should be getting the ICS update, someday (as far as I know).
- The T9-predictive text input is limited to the languages relevant in Canada.
- using 'MoreLocale 2' in the google play store, I was able to add my own, custom 'locale'
- Performance of this device is really good (plays 'Max Payne Mobile', 'GTA3', N64 emulator,... all very smoothly.
Hope this helps.
thanks for the info. as i'm shiping inside canada i'm golden.
and import charges wont effect me aswell - my cousine will bring it with him.
i will buy from them in confidende.
thanks for the help guys.

Did it end up going well? I'm thinking about buying the g2 from them but I keep reading horrible reviews.

From your previous messages, it looked you were going to buy from them... me I'm waiting their paypal invoice for a Note 3.
My debit card wasn't working on their website even if they said it should.
didt bought from them cos it was cheaper to buy via amazon.ca instead - my cousin choose for me. but it was over then a year ago so things chagned i presume.
I will report my experience...
I found a N900T on canadagsm for 650 CAD and I asked if if could work with wind mobile and abroad. I asked also if I can pay with debit visa. They confirmed by email. I asked to double-check even if in the ad it was the wind logo in the carriers that it can work with.
The speed of answering decreased after I tried to buy from their website and my visa debit did not work.
After several attempts they sent me a paypal invoices and I paid it on Jan 9th.
It took over 10 days to send me this unit even if it was available and they initially lied about the shipping day and the day they were able to provide tracking information.
I got this phone after 14 days on 23rd and it did not work on wind mobile, even with the settings they told me to put. I asked to be called and never got a call back, so I opened a paypal dispute to resolve.
Now they want me to send the unit back in order to get another but I replied that I prefer to get first a working unit and then I'll send back this to UPS when I get the working one.
Quite upset for that...
CandaGSM are Reliable!

Did you join XDA just to rate them? I see you joined yesterday and that's your first post, WOW :laugh:
Anyway, I update my experience with them...
In the end, after 1 months of problems, I got a working Note 3, just a different model. I had to send back the previous unit first thought.
They offered to add an additional screen protector and a case, but I did not get it yet.
In the end my suggestion is, if you don't care to wait to much in order to save 100$ you can buy from them, but maybe you'll have to face off some problems on the way.

I was considering buying a phone from CanadaGSM. Did a quick search on Google and changed my mind after seeing the results. As a new user I am not allowed to post links here, but a search for "beware CanadaGSM" should take you to a CrackBerry thread that I've found very enlightening. There are also complaints on other forums as well.
BTW, "Sam Cristoph" also posted to that CrackBerry thread. His post was very similar to the one above. That post was deleted, but you can still read it in quotes, along with a very good response. Go to the CrackBerry thread titled "BEWARE: CanadaGSM.ca purchase help! " and look at post #25 of that thread.
