[Q] Buying 2nd hand smartphone in Vienna - General Questions and Answers

Dear forum members,
My brother-in-law is in Vienna for his German course that will take 6 months then he is planning a graduate degree in Austria. We are trying to communicate via Viber but his current phone (which is my ex-Desire Z) is causing problems. Can you advice me a shop or a mall that he can buy a second-hand smartphone so we can use Viber and Skype easily?
Thanks in advance

O2 Phone replacement chance??

Hey i'm a unlucky owner of a O2 Atom, and i've had the fauly headphone/mainboard problem come up for the second time, so i've sent of today (18/04/07) to repair centre in QLD, but my Warranty runs out on the 21st!!!
I was wondering if anyone has had any luck in convincing O2 to giving them a totally new phone rather than getting the same Flaw riddled build of the Atom.
I've sent of the old 'dirty/I not happy email', but what have other people experienced with the o2 after sale services?
*edit: QLD = Queensland, I'm in Victoria Australia
you should probably point out to all our overseas listeners that QLD actually means Queensland in Australia.

I've Just ordered an XDA Flint

Hi All,
I took the plunge today and ordered myself an XDA Flint!!!
I'm looking forward to receiving it in a few days!
Does anyone have any tips/advice/info etc on the device?
Any/All info greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Alex
Main tip is just to play with it for a while and get used to it!
The O2 ROM is pretty good (though Michy's is better!) and remember that changing the ROM will invalidate any warranty with O2.
O2 don't supply any sort of front end (HTC Home, Mobile Shell or PointUI) so you are free to install whatever suits you. In fact the O2 ROM is very basic indeed, which does have the benefit of saving memory!
You managed to order it straight from the O2 online shop?
I got told that the XDA Flint wasn't available anymore... :|

I'm sure I will waste hours of my life playing with the device when it arrives!!
This will be my second XDA, but my 4th HTC device so I'm used to the basic O2 ROMs!
I think I will stick with the standard ROM until it is out of warranty then flash it with a new from from here! - I've recently flashed my Tytn2 and the ROMs from here are excellent!

I had some trouble getting hold of one!
I have had to migrate my O2 consumer tariff to a Business tariff in order to get one! - The are ONLY available on business tariffs! I ordered it this week!
They will give it you on a consumer contract, you just need to hastle them into it.
I had a high level complaint open with them for over a month, in the end they gave me the Flint on a £35 a month contract 750mins 300text and insurance.
just a one off fee of £99.
I was happy with that, but i cant state how how hard it was to get this device.

I have been migrated onto a business tariff, 300 mins, All O2 to O2 calls free, Free calls to 10 nominated landline numbers, Unlimited texts, 200mb data. for £30 per month, 1 off fee of £99 and a free bluetooth headset! 24 month contract but with another free upgrade after 12 months!
Didn't have any hassle either!!
Get the unlimited data bolt-on asap!, as soon as you start using it to its potential 200mb will be gone rather fast.
Exchange Email is ofc a must have.
You have to try Pocket Lemmings on this device, it owns best game for pda ever!
I started trying to get mine in Nov 2008, this is why I had so much hastle. No one at O2 had any idea what this device was, I kept getting told different things every time I called in. You know how call centres work its quick call turn around, I was getting fobbed off left right and centre so I complained and only managed to get one because at the time it didn’t say it was for Business customers only.
I finally got mine in Jan 09. After many, many calls.
Mines on a 18month contract, and was in effect a upgrade so my 5+ years with o2 as a direct customer is unbroken, I hope they made you aware that as you migrated to business it’s the same as starting a new account so you won’t be eligible for promotions to long standing customer.

In the t-mo shop it seems it's only possible to buy it with a 2 years contract, same in bestbuy website.
