Hey guys, what's the absolute cheapest pocket pc phone that has touchscreen. I am looking for the cheapest possible thing. I want this to be a present for my little brother for Christmas but don't have much money at all. Preferably a used, unlocked phone or something that can easily be unlocked. Thanks.
you can get some of the older ones on ebay for a relatively reasonable price. Some of then even come unlocked, courtesy of the great people here.
Personally, i would get him a Wizard or an Artemis, but those might be slightly out of price range.
Cheapest Pocket Phone
Re question from Johnny13oi I have an Orange SPV M500 which I am selling due to upgrading recently to the M700. Phone is about 18 months old and is in perfect working order. It is a pocket pc with touch screen and has mobile 2003 OS. It comes with carrycase, car charger, USB lead, and car holder. I would sell it to you for £40 + postage if that is of interest.

I have recently broke my XDA screen.
Does anybody know if the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same as the XDA? Is there any hardware modification to be done or the connectors are ALL the same?
People at Microsoft told me the Wallaby was designed after the Ipaq 3630, so most of the parts, including the screen should be the same.
Please advise. It could be helpful for a lot of people fouled by O2 with CRAZY requests for fixing the screen.
The ipaq 3600 series screen is bigger.
I have no idea about what you asked, but I would really like to know how you broke your screen?

it is very easy to make the screen break ... just drop your XDA, it happened to one of my XDAs
regards, monika
i drop mine about 5x a day...(scratches on case, looseing that wen vibrates, it rattles alot)...thats why im SERIOUSLY lookin for a dummy model, but everytime i try to check on ebay, the auctions are over...so i tried going to TMO stores, or where ever they carry them, always ask the sales ppl if they could just sell me the model, an they never want to :roll: i jus tell em to order an extra one, an say sumone stole the old one....but since theyr too stcuk up to get a few extra $$$$ in there pockets, ima just have to "take" one
Basically the screen has imploded. I was talking, the screen went on power saving mode, and when ended the call it was broken.
O2 asked me too much money to repair, but I am sure the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same size, already checked.
Has anyone tried to open up both devices and check it?
Just want to know if connectors are the same.
Thanks
yes, my friend did open the device .... not mine but the similar unit - MDA, seems like it is a sony make, but according to his words IPAQ screen will not fit
BTW I have the same problem - I have two machines - one MDA with broken but functioning screen and XDA I do operate on a daily basis, I can make calls from both units ... but hesitating between repair and sale as is
regards, monika

You must have the only ipaq 3630 that has a screen the same size as xda1, I have one in front of me and I will eat my shirt on camera if you manage to get it into the xda1.
although I am not going to eat my shirt :lol: but I agree that screen sizes are different

I broke my screen by dropping it face down on a stone 1 week after buying it. I was insured by O2 for £4.99 a month and the next day I recieved a brand new one with all the accessories and I only had to return the main unit. I now have 2 batteries, headphones, cradles etc.

Do you fancy selling all those XDAII extra's
Sorry, I find them really usefull, I have the cradle next to my bed and one attatched to my desktop. The spare battery is allways usefull as the main batteries are not very goo. that leaves me with a headset and a dummy SD card which i am sure are not very usefull to you. If it happens again I will contact you. Adam
I cannot afford these outrageous prices! Plus, it's not readily available in the US. Anybody have a used or know where I can find a refurbished unit? I've been trying to do my research and am finding discrepancies all over the place: Pocket PC Phone Edition vs XDA II vs MDA II vs QTEK2020 vs Himalaya, etc. I'd even be interested in a used XDA I for a much lesser price.
check your PM...
I've got an XDA I for sale now that I bought a II. I picked up my XDA II on eBay in the US for $605, near-new. Luckily for me, nobody here seems to know what they are and few people bid on it.
If you're interested in my old one, let me know. The case has the usual paint peeling, but it's perfectly functional and the screen is 100% mint (always had a PPC Techs protector, included). It has always lived in an EB leather case, also included. Got a few spares like an extra headset and probably some other stuff, need to go through my stash.
ive also got an xda ii for sale second hand all works fine but blocked over here in the uk would ship to us if buyer pays shipping cost full boxed as new even got tomtom 3 navigator installed on it but you would need us maps and a gps unit n e body isnterested make me a reansonable offer remember the xda ii phone will not work in the uk i have tried and tried to get it unblocked but found out som ebody i brought if from sold it then reported it lost so they claimed for a new one and the one i had of them the network operator block so i was well ripped off so thats the reason ive putting it up for sale any body intrested in this pm me and make an offer :idea:
hi guys, because i think the diamond is already expensive enough, i don't want to spend any more money on it. but because I really like the official docking station, i want to get it, so i'm selling some equipment that came with the diamond. if some of you broke yours or simpy want another, post here.
My device is a O2 Xda Diamond and I'm selling (all new, unused and with protection foil still on it):
- Original HTC Diamond Charger (incl. german adapter)
- Original HTC Diamond Data Cable
- Original HTC HS S300 Headset
plus
- 2x 3M Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protectors (incl. protection for the keys)
I will either trade all for a CR G300 or for enough money to buy one myself. Anyone interessed please post here.
LOL! I was in the same boat when I heard Expansys had 25 in stock this morning.
Even with the £10 off voucher I had, I considered the dock really expensive for what it was - but it looks so slick!
Checked Expansys this afternoon, 11 in stock - and its a clearance product meaning they have no plans to stock it again, so I caved!
My current smartphone is slowly dying. After having upgraded due to hardware failure 3 times in the last two years (motorola mpx220 hinge broke, qtek 8500 mainboard broke, htc s710 earpiece failure) I dont want to pay top dollar for a new handset so I just want the cheapest smartphone or windows mobile device that I can get - any ideas (uk preferably)
thanks
Ebay, just bought a O2 xda2 for $60 AUS , works great and like new, got it just as a work hack
Thanks Malsh - I was hoping to get something from a company rather than a private seller.
I have found an SPV C600 in expansys for GBP43 - looks ok (although no warranty)
I want to trade or sell my unlocked AT&T branded (GSM, not CDMA) HTC Touch Pro, aka the HTC Fuze. The Touch Pro comes with all the original documentation and cables, a composite video/audio out, a charging station/cradle, a nice Waterfield suede case, the best screen protector you can get, a miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter for audio out and a 16GB microSDHC. It will come preloaded with the stock ROM or a nice cooked ROM. The phone was only used for two weeks and is in near mint condition, it has minor wear-and-tear scratches on the back but the screen itself has only made air contact for seconds while changing the screen protector. I'm looking for around $450 but I'd much rather trade.
I'm selling it since it the mp3 player functionality isn't as good as I had hoped, goodbye Sim City 2000 .
I'm really looking for a newer DSLR or a black 16GB 3g iPhone but I'll consider other good deals. Feel free to ask any questions.

bump? I thought it was a decent deal. Feel free to offer
$525 is a bit too high, you would have a much better chance lowering the price.
Price dropped a considerable amount.
Last bump before it goes on the hell hole that is eBay
your best bet is ebay... you'll probably get 350-400 for it used im thinkin.
btw.. what the heck r u talking abt the mp3 player isn't good? it's as good as the software u install on it... *confused*
Well considering the cheapest I've seen a used Fuze go for is $400, the 16gb microSD is $50++, the video cable $30, the screen protector and case are another $30 and the adaptor is $10, $450 is a steal.
I have some stuff to trade:
HTC TYTN II (new as of December 31st 2GB SD) $250
1000W 2x 12" subwoofers with 580 W amp (over 1000W bridged) $175
Tripp Lite UPS. Smart 750 SL (pure sine wave output, 750W @ 25 minutes runtime, NEW! $125)
DXG MP4 video camera. Works A+ for youtube and with a full SD slot. $100 (barely used)
Shipping is going to be horrible but it happens. let me know at ubercomputers @ Gmail.com
i'm in indiana
