6 Month XDA2i For Sale - Fully Unlocked

Hi Guys and Gals
I am selling my XDA2i, which has been unlocked and tested to work on Orange, T Mobile, Vodaphone and O2 networks, only setback is a couple of scratches on the left hand side but nothing major, works perfectly
You will also get Tom Tom 5 incl the UK, European and USA maps as well as a DVD full of the latest applications and games
Please PM me with any offers or email me on [email protected]
I am willing to ship abroad but the buyer will have to pay for postage
Thanks

I have decided that will take £300 for my device, this will include Special Delivery postage to anywhere in the UK. I have checked Ebay and this seems a fair price I think
Overseas buyers you will have to pay the relevant postage to your country on top of the price above
If you think this is too high then please let me know what you think is reasonable
Thanks

I have reconsidered and am willing to take £240, this will include shipping to any UK address. Overseas buyers the price will depend on where the item is to be sent.
I have decided to buy O2 Mini S, I think it seems a logical step forward as the XDA Exec is too bulky and not as cool
Let me know what you all think

not bein funny but i think you signature is puttin people off.

that and the xda mini s is about £150 on the data5 tarrif with a trade in handset (factoring in line rental and assuming you keep your existing sim, as you would buying SG's xda2).

Polaris / Touch Cruise on T-Mobile UK

I popped into T-Mobile in Derby today and asked if they'll be getting the TC (I'm assuming it'll probably rebranded as the MDA Compact IV) anytime soon. The lady said they definitely will be getting it but didn't know when. When I asked her to hazard a guess she guesstimated end of Feb.
Just thought you might like to know

thanks not too long....

No way. I'm leaving T-mobile for the Polaris and 02 and the sales guy is trying to keep me on by offering all sorts of stuff including a free Touch Phone with accessories and a really good contract. If they were getting one soon he would have been in a better position to judge and tell me to hang on, instead he is offering me newer phones for free that haven't been released by T-mobile yet. If they are getting their version it will probably be in April or May. They are always 3 - 4 months behind o2.

Spoke to T-Mobile and they said they would not be selling the TC or a rebadged version of it.
Sounds like t-mobile dont know whats going on

I don't know what to believe to be honest. From experience, the guys and gals on the shop floor haven't got a clue what's coming until about a week before it arrives. That's why I said guesstimate not estimate
Really, o2 isn't an option for me. Nobody can compete with T-Mobile's web-n-walk at the moment. Yes, o2 offer an 'unlimited' plan but it's 200MB plus loads of fair usage restrictions. I'm away from home a lot so I use Internet Sharing for my laptop in the hotel rooms - I'd use 200MB up in about 2 hours! Plus I much prefer their Flext plan over fixed x mins and x texts plans of the other providers.
I also can't justify £300+ on buying an htc branded one.
I hope T-Mobile pull their finger out and get the TC sharpish! I have the Vario II (Hermes) at the moment and my battery's screwed - it barely lasts a day even without actually using it. I've just bought a new battery but I want some TouchFLO action!

Even if they eventually do TC, I guess you will be disappointed when they tell you the upgrade price...
I love my T-Mobile too, but I will have to switch to O2 to get a good deal on the phone.

i would love to have it on TMob but i need something by the end of Jan or I will lose my number. pretty sure im gonna go with O2.

Well, technically I have to wait 'til May before I can upgrade - that might be long enough for TMob to catch up!
My new battery has arrived as I type this it's a 1500mAh - It's lighter than the stock 1350mAh and the pack has a 'cheap' look to it - "Cameron Sino" branded (never heard of 'em!). It this doesn't improve the life I get out of it then I may claim on the insurance. My bank covers it on new for old so I may be able to convince them to replace it with htc branded polaris (probably wishful thinking).

I'm running a TC on T-Mobile (bought phone simm free which is expensive I know) but unless O2 have improved their data charges I'd never switch to them. I was with them until last year and it was a complete rip-off. T-Mobile's web'n'walk is unlimited (ok 1Gb fair-usage) and perfect for the TC.

If any UK T-Mobile user runs out of patience and wants to go the unbranded route then I can report that my unbranded UK HTC Touch Cruise works perfectly with my UK T-Mobile PAYG SIM card for both GSM and 3G.
When I first turned my TC on it offered to auto-configure the network for me; I let it and it set up both GSM and 3G and then defaulted to 3G for the connection. I'm paranoid about battery life so I went into phone settings and set the band manually to GSM but I have since switched it to 3G temporarily to try some browsing.

Anyone need a Touch Pro?

Decided its time to upgrade
I am looking to sell my Touch Pro.
Its the retail version, no sim lock / security lock.
Extended HTC battery and the original battery
Seido case and holster
Other usual accessories that came with the phone and box.
350 USD or make me an offer.
I have sold my previous phones to people on these forums as well without any issues.
PM me if interested. I can either ship it from my location (Tokyo) or ship it during my next business trip to Canada early next month if you like. Your choice.
Thanks,
Ray

[Q] Anyone got a Omnia 7 from T-Mobile yet ?

Order mine online last Monday, and not had anything from them so far. :-(

Have you tried phoning or emailing them?

I'm waiting on mine too. No exact delivery date given but told it should be within 2 weeks which means they haven't got a clue.
I did read a comment on wmpoweruser that they had to send the 1st shipment back due to quality issues as something was faulty on them. Don't know If it's true but could be the reason for the delay.

I also want to know if the Omnia 7 from T-mobile is locked?

I would have thought so but I thought you could always ask tmobile to unlock it for you.
Or easier still buy from a reseller online and it comes unlocked and it's cheaper, the only downside is 1gb against 3gb and not as fast speed but you can either pay 5 pounds a month to upgrade or chance your luck buy ringing them and ask to have the full speed unlocked. Say it's an android phone as that worked for some people.

Thanks chaps, I will give them a call on Monday and see what they say.

I was told by them that there were QC issues and the first shipment was returend to suppliers.

What does this mean?

Sorry, I was in a rush earlier.
I meant If you buy the phone from a reseller it will be much cheaper but it will have a 1GB data allowance against 3GB when purchased direct. And you will get not get the full high speed internet, you will be throttled down.
You can phone them up and try your luck and they might remove the speed limit, If not you pay £5 a month to upgrade to the full speed and 3GB.
But compare the prices and It's not worth buying direct and resellers are normally unlocked with no branding.
Plus don't forget Quidco or Topcashback etc for extra money back, about £30 on average.

Phoned them again today, and they said they "might" get some in Friday :-( but they said that about today too.

Turns out the QC issue they had with the phones was with the packaging...
Oye. When they mentioned the Friday delivery they told 'but they still need to go through QC first' implying they don't expect them to ship tomorrow.

Well hopefully it should be sorted soon as a lot of people want that phone (inc me)

Bad news according to the buymobilephones twitter account. Says tmobile have informed them It will take up to 2 weeks before stock arrive
It's getting to a stage where the windows phone stock is as rare as kinect stock.

Sounds like real bad news for us who want one

Got a message from T-mobile, "my phone is in stock" , i need to call back to make payment.
Odd, I already payed online I thought. However I rang anyway.
Now, out of stock !!!!!!!!!!! I was not happy.
They only had a small number of units and I took too long to ring back.
I've now told them to send the next one they get, and take payment.

nope, got mine from orange in london cos i knew they had them. I was with t mobile but they said they had software issues and wouldnt be releasing the phone until it was sorted or something so being the impatient guy that i am i went to Orange (london)

T-Mobile do *not* have stock of the Omnia7. Three have had stock since Tuesday and Orange got stock today.
If you've ordered already, best cancel and go for Orange on next day delivery. You can still piggyback the T-Mobile signal, and you get free picture messaging too

Just tried T-Mobile again and they have no idea when the 'packaging' issue will be resolved. Wouldn't be surprised if Everything Everywhere is deliberately letting Orange get the initial sales for some reason.
Regardless, I couldn't get them to do an 18 month contract below £40, even though Buymobiles.net are doing it at 18 month £30.
I got bored and ordered from Orange - If you ring them and push, they will do the handset free on 18 month Panther 40 for £35 per month using a credit on your bill. You also get the standard orange benefit of being able to upgrade after 15 months.
The reason I did it is I'm very impatient and sick of waiting !

Nice one Micky. Ordered mine online. Paid £99 with £27.50/month. Should save about £80 over the usual price, so happy with that

'Packagin issue'? That has to be the most idiotic reason to not offer a product at launch. Especially when it's the only winpho7 handset they offer.

thats wierd!
my omnia 7 came 2 days ago from tmobile?!!

[INFO] Preordered at Expansys

Hi guys
I have placed a preorder at expansys. Based on your experiences buying from them, how is their service?
They say that they will not charge my credit card or ship the product when they have stock before they confirm with me. I hope they stick to this as if stock is very late to arrive then i might want to cancel the order

I bought my S730 from them when it released. Overall it was a good experience. I did not get charged until the phone was ready to ship and then it arrived quickly.
My only frustration was the lack of detailed information about when stock would arrive etc. I know they do not know too much from their distributors but still, any news would have been better than no news.
That might have changed as that was the last phone I bought from them. I missed the first wave of shipments and got on the wait list for round two which is when mine came through.

I pre-ordered my Diamond 2 fromm them when it came out and as "10332007" said above, they didn't have information about stocks. At the time I had paid by wire transfer, and when the stock status became "Available" I still didn't get any shipped notification until the phone would go "Out of stock" again and when I called they said they had a lot orders and that they were serving the earlier orders first, this was repeated 3 times then I called them and cancelled my order. They then transferred back my payment with no problem what so ever.
On another note, a freind of mine ordered his Desire HD a few months ago, and they shipped it fast. Though it was already available & not on pre-order.

thanks but..
Thanks guys for the feedback
but since the price was not yet available on their website when i pre-ordered, will they inform me of the final price when they get stock before they charge my card and ship
I might not like their price when they advertise it and might chose to go with another seller
