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

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.

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

Where's the best place to buy XDA IIs from UK?

Cheapest so far:
£169.99
+ £30.99 per mnth for 200mins
http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2S

I doubt you'll find it much cheaper than that. I got mine for £9.99 on an O2 Max plan, but now the lowest price for the handset on that tariff is about £50.
I've also heard through the rumour mill that stock of the XDA IIs is about to become a bit thin on the ground soon owing to supply/demand issues; HTC can't seem to make these devices fast enough to satisfy the carriers... just look at the debacle that is happening with Orange and the M2000.
Besides - do you want to spend all your time trawling for a slightly better deal, or do you want to actually be using and XDA IIs in the near future?

From T-mobile as an MDA III
£295 + £15 a month

If it's the MDA III, then the best price ATM seems to be via the following
http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/ourdeals.php?PROV=121&OFF=1MDA3&TAR=RELAX22
Assuming 'Guest' doesn't want to spend much more than £30/month on his tariff, the best deal is for Relax 200 on a 12-month contract, being £32/month (with half-price line rental for the first 3 months)
Selecting this, the cost of the MDA III is only £59.99. If 'Guest' opted for an 18-month contract, the handset would be £24.99, and if they don't mind paying £51/month for 400 x-net minutes, they wouldn't have to pay a penny for the handset at all.
Naturally, all this is assuming that 'Guest' would be happy on T-Mobile as opposed to O2

A bit late... but I picked up my MDA III for £140 plus £13p/m (for 12 months) rising to £26 (for the last 6 of the contract) yesterday. Shame that there doesn't seem to be any way with T-Mobile of buying bundled GPRS on contract.
Considering that the O2 shop next door wanted £249 for the XDA IIs and £30p/m for 12 months, it seemed a pretty good deal frankly.
I should make the purchase cost back selling my Nokia 6600 on once it's unlocked, fingers crossed.

Fwiw, I got mine from Uplands a couple of months ago at £125 & £35/mth, but I do use a fair few minutes each month and this worked out the most cost effective.
Not wanting to sound like a ringer, I got great customer service (next day delivery after faxing some docs) and friendly, personal attention.
</plug!> :wink:

Got mine from Uplands as well; I tried to place an order with The Link early in the new year (seeing as the handset was going for nowt on O2 Max) but they were out of stock. Uplands was the next best thing at £9.99 and I got the handest early the next day; no complaints there so I'll no doubt go back to them come August when I can port across my other Orange number...

I told O2 I was moving to Orange (on £25 a month O2 100 online contract) as Orange had offered me an MPV2000 for free and O2 said they would matchit!!! XDAIIs FOC - Result

I got mine from The Link - they knocked 200 quid off the price of the handset, so it ended up cost £40 for the handset, plus £30 a month on the o2 200 package.
I don't know why they knocked so much off - no-one else had stock, and now they can't get stock themselves.

I got mine from the Link just before Xmas. 150 pounds plus 30 pounds a month for 300 any minutes (double mins for first 3 months)

Got mine last sat 29th in the link on o2 max, it cost me nothing but the line rental is £75 per month.
(hope to have cheaper bills now as i was having £150 bills on xnet 400 through singlepoint!)

www.buymobilephones.net has it quite cheap

My M2000 was £0.00 with £0.00 line rental!
Gotta have some perks of working for the company! :wink:

Just got mine for £180 on £16/month line. Prices gone down to £99 on £25 line rental and above from 02 shop

I paid £180 with £20 line rental from 02 shop not too long ago...
By far the best deal I could find.

Bought one from O2 Shop. Since I've already monthly contract somewhere else, I opted for the Data only package. It was £9 a month, and the Handset costed £200-ish.

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

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.

That's incredibly jammy, which retailer was it?!!

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
it kinda sucks, when i ordered IDEAL was not available as an option (it was grayed out)

got mine from mobile phones direct on t-mobile combi 30. £29.15 monthly for 700 mins xnetwork and unlimited texts. phone cost 41.99 and i got next day delivery for free. i already have my main number with flext 35 + web&walk. my mrs was grateful for getting her new line so i got phone!

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.
