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
R
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

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.........

Last I head from Vodafone Australia is November 15 is release date here.
Uplands Mobile
I have bought one sim free from Here they have been assured by O2 today that they will be the first in the UK to stock them and that delivery will be shipped next monday.
I personally can't wait until Tuesday, this is the first phone with everything i ever wanted in one device, i am ditching my Treo 600 and palm for this little baby.

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 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?
Hi
I ordered mine from Clove few days back, but yesterday luckily I got Desire on PAYG from Carphone Warehouse... So today I called Clove 2 cancel my contract, I just asked Sale Person that when r u guys getting ur stock now as CPW have unlocked stock? He said HTC will (directly) send them a bigger stock from mid-next-week...
And also he went on 2 say that Clove have been told from HTC that the unlocked stock from CPW have some software problem AND ANY ONE WHO GOT DESIRE FROM THEM MAY HAVE 2 RETURN IT BACK 2 THEM 2 B REPLACED WITH THE NEW DESIRE (which HTC will send them mid-next-week)...
I am worried 2 hear that because mine is PAYG on Orange from CPW & the CPW person said that Orange don't have phones return policy... So if this is true,,, are we (unlocked desire owners) in trouble???

worst case scenario they will flash the newer ROM to your desire, IMO (that is if there is anything wrong with it)
Mine works fine
Could be a bit of doublespeak from Clove, as they and other online sellers appear to be losing money hand over fist as people cancel their pre-orders and go to....yep, you guessed it, CPW! I'll worry when a bug is identified and appeares on my phone...
If there is a software fault then it would be fixed by an OTA update. Recall my arse.

Yea... quite agree-able point here. If HTC told them that CPW stock had some software issues they would definitely have told CPW 2 stop selling their current stock and wait 4 new stock from them 2 arrive (as selling problematic phones will harm HTC's name)....my point of view...

How much are cpw selling them pay as you go for!?
Even if there was a fault, CPW as the seller would be obliged to rectify for you by either updating te ROM, or replacing.
we are protected, in the UK, by The Sale of Goods act 1979
Your Rights
If you have bought goods you have a right to expect that they should be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality:
* ‘As described’ means that it should correspond to any description given about the goods such as the quantity, colour, measurements etc. These descriptions may be verbal statements about the goods, statements in the brochure, on a shelf edge or even on the box.
* Goods are of ‘Satisfactory quality’ if they reach the standard a reasonable person would expect taking into account the price and any description.
- The law says that goods that are of satisfactory quality are free from minor defects, have good appearance and finish and are durable, safe and fit for all the purposes for which such goods are commonly supplied.
* In addition to being fit for their every day purpose goods should be fit for any specific purpose you agreed with the seller at the time of sale [for example, if you specifically asked for a printer that was compatible with your computer]
If your goods are not satisfactory you may be able to make a claim for up to 6 years in England and Wales and 5 years in Scotland after the purchase of your goods, for a refund, repair or replacement.

Mine arrived from CPW on Monday and I have only experienced issues with mobile network access.
Neither my old Vodafone nor my new T-Mobile SIMs can connect to 3G/HSDPA using any of the APN configurations pre-configured on the phone.
I have successfully got the Vodafone one working using settings from the internet, but am still to find working one for T-Mobile.
Another thing I noticed that was wrong was that when I selected T-Mobile in the setup wizard, a Virgin Mobile scene was added with the web browser home-page set to Virgin.
I am hoping that the replacement firmware will fix this but I will hang on to the phone and flash it myself when it becomes available.
Edd.
HA!
If there was really a problem it is likely HTC would have made it known to everyone, most likely it is a software issue, I don't think I've heard of HTC having bad hardware batches like Nokia so we should all be fine.

£399.99 + £10 topup = £410/-
Bull sh*t clame from Clove to put peoples off from CPW thats all.
Are the handsets from CPW network locked?
No! They use the same phones on any contract or PAYG or simfree sale.
When i first boo the phone it shows the update icon so i think it did an OTA update so if there was any problems it should be fixed
ok thanks, just a couple more questions;
Any network branding in the OS?
Is the software the pre-release software like on the t-mobile handsets?
Same 2 year warranty from HTC like when purchasing from Handtec?
AFAIK there has not been an OTA update released yet.

When can we expect the desire to be sold in retail shops?
I'm planning a trip to spain and I know a few people who will be in france\germany\UK in a few weeks, is there any information about the release dates for retail shops in those places and the cost?
Thank you.
The desire is in retail shops - I got one yesterday from a T-Mobile store
I got it on a contract £10 per month for 24 months plus £164 up front - it wasn't in stock PAYG although Carphone Warehouse should have them for around £400
Got mine off the local Vodafone shop yesterday. They had two delivered on the release date, and in store techy got one, I got the other.
CPW had them too, at least available according to the store and on display, also local Virgin media store and T-Mobile had them too.
Got mine Friday (2nd) in CPW on upgrade on VF - unbranded and unlocked
Can I buy the phone from a t-mobile, vodaphone or orange store without a contract?
If so, how much will it cost, and will it be unlocked?
And are there no retail shops to buy the phone in, unlocked and unbranded in the full package?

They might do but don't quote me!
As far as I know Carphone Warehouse are selling it SIM free for £399 when you buy a £10 top up. The only issue is lack of stock so I would call around first.
I dont know how many of you are in or around CEntral London but you should try the CPW in the Selfridges basement floor, they had stock of both Sim free and Plan based. Got my Sim Free yesterday
All the T-Mobile stores in the Bristol area have sold out.
Same story with CPW (although they only provide it on contract for Vodafone & Orange).
Many phone calls later I've sourced one 30 miles away and am sad enough to drive to collect it now!
Wasn't in Wells by chance? That's where I got mine last Friday...

I have returned with a Desire in hand.
If anyone in the South West needs a Desire, the Swindon branch of T-Mobile has 2 left. (All 3 Bristol stores, Newport, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bath & Chippenham have sold out).
Now to wait the three hour charge time. Good excuse to get some paperwork out the way to pay the bills

If you need to unlock it be careful not to do the 15 EUR option on HTCCode as it didn't work, although they did refund me.
They do have a post in their forum which let's you send then 25 EUR by papal. Got my unlock code a few hours later

Thanks for the advice but I'll be happy enough using it with my t-mob contract. May unlock it after upgrading to HTC xxxxx in 18 months time though to maximise its value on ebay
I needed to unlock now as I still have a £35 a month contract with Vodafone until Jan 2011.
At worst I will pay an extra £10 a month for my T-mobile contract, at best I may use it instead of Vodafone from Jan
Hope you enjoy the Desire, only had mine 48 hours but I am already VERY happy!

I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from amazon here in the UK , however the phone that arrived appears to be from India. Should I return it to the seller? If I decide to keep it, can I use the warranty? I'm puzzled.

Samsung dont have international warranty..
The warranty applies to country of the invoice, if you have a uk invoice than you have a valid warranty in UK and maybe in EU...No problem if it was a imported phone, it is only a problem if the N7100 reference didnt exist in UK, that is not the case.
If it has a India warranty you have to pay to repair it on UK..
Taken from warranty information ( UK Samsung website )
"Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd support a product purchased in Europe if it has an EU Bloc Warranty. This warranty is present where the top of the product warranty card clearly states 'European Bloc'. If the product is purchased in another part of the globe then Samsung may attempt a repair. Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd cannot guarantee the outcome."

That is not amazon. The seller is TopT so its a third party seller. You would have to deal with that vendor which is a pain and some of them don't care once item is sold.

Yeah next time when buying from amazon make sure it says ships and sold by Amazon usually its right below the price and buy it button.
For those interested, I contacted the seller about this issue and he said he'll give me 12 months of warranty himself, so I decided to keep the phone.

be smart and react now as its seller warranty so he will get it repaired by himself if anything wrong happens than he will make extra charges saying that this defects has been caused by the user i.e.you so ultimately a lot of fuss for later use .
better return the device now and ask for a complete return and by from an authorized seller that provides warranty from company i.e samsung
as seller warranty phones comes at very low price from the original atleast a 20-30% price drop expected .
