As we've seen O2 have no stock - i was told next wednesday(maybe) by o2 lakeside but they reserve any that come in...so i called uplands - as a result i will (hopefully) recieve TOMORROW my XDA II from them, @£169 on o2 250 (£35 month for 4 months then will drop it to £15) not the cheapest, but then i'm not having to hunt for stock either :)

ebay - as ever the way fwd

Chaps,

type in xda ii on ebay and you'll find the deal you're lookign for, the company is called unkle jamal, they're welsh based and selling the thing for as little as $99.99 dependent on tariff (which you can also drop after 4months).

It's the way I'll do it - just waiting for next month's pay cheque.;-)

Cheers,

Intersetingly enough my local o2 shop phoned this morning to say they have stock in and would I like to put my name on one at the price of 299.99, despite saying that they were selling them for 199.99 last month (when they didn't have any).

Funnily eough I am really pissed off - after waiting over a month so I can get one from o2 - they say I have to pay the price I could have got one for over a month previous. They are one of the worst companies I have ever had dealings with for customer service. I am considering setting up a picket line outside my local shop - anyone interested?

I just want to buy the XDA only, no contract

Hey chaps,

Originally from Cambridge and now live in North Carolina USA. We here are going nuts trying to get ahold of the XDA II at a reasonable cost.

Anyone know where and how much I can buy one without a contract. I just want the phone and have it shipped here, then I will unlock it and connect to a us GSM Network.

Any help would be great, Cheers.

It's Hanley near stoke-on-trent - they said they wouldn't honour the 199.99 price because 'the mobile phone market is very volatile and prices are reviewed constantly'
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Onestopphoneshop.co.uk have them currently back in stock, at just £119 on a £30 a month tariff (200 xnet anytime minutes with 50 SMS a month).

This has to be the cheapest way to own one by far, given that you can contract drop after just four months.

The only problem is, and why I am still waiting for mine to come, is that becuase of the backlog of orders, the handsets are now available, but Singlepoint, as the O2 Service Provider they use, is having a job processing all the backlog of connects to the network.

If anyone can think of any possible way to own one cheaper, feel free to add it, as I think this is the lowest you can get.

Handset = £119.99

4 months @ £30 = £120

8 months at say, £15 = £120

Total cost of ownership, include selected free voice minutes, sms etc therefore comes to:

£359.99 - and even then, spread over 12 months in effect.

Anyone know of any cheaper? I doubt it.

Has anyone tried buying this in the US? Right now, this amounts to $490. Is that the cheapest solution for buying the XDA II in the US?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] auburnham:
Clarification

Sorry, that total price is from

http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/o2.htm

with the XDA-II with Bluetooth hset £149.99 option and four months at £30.00 and an exchange rate of 1.81251.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Re: Clarification

If you don't want or need (like me I already have a BT Headset), the Bluetooth Headset, its another option on the drop down list, without this, at the lower price I mentioned higher up, of just £119.

And mine arrives tomorrow (wooppee!), after just having managed to SIM unlock my E200 Smartphone just now too.

So good news all round!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Re: Buy in US?

£120 for handset, £120 for 4 months minimum at £30, then the rest at £15 or so, amounts to the price I stated of £360.

Which is actually $653.89

At today's rate, as you use.

Additionally, if you are in the UK, how would you get a UK contract?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gingersmiffy:
I bought my XDA II from O2 from £199. With a £15 per month line rental. I got this from an O2 shop. It wasn't my local one, coz no O2 shop from miles around had any at the time. I had to ring around each shop to see if they had one in stock.

When I checked out the 'no contract' option at £590+, it seems better to just buy the phone with a contract.

Summary:

XDA II = £199

12 month contract (30min + insurance) = £276 pa

Total £475 I'll bin the card after 12 months coz I already have a 50% discount with t-mobile.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gingersmiffy:
sorry for not replying sooner, i wasnt restricted by contract type. I bought the cheapest, as I dont even use the SIM. Whatever contract you buy, i think you can change it after 4 months anyway.

O2 XDA II from OneStop

RE: Ordering an XDA II from One Stop Phone Shop.

There are several posts on here quoting OneStop's very low price deals. One word of warning - If you order one from them be prepared to wait for it, I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and still no sign of it. They assured me several times it would be in stock early this week, but yet another call to them yesterday (wed) revealed they don't know when they will be in stock at all! Arhhh. It seems they are having an allocation problem with O2, even though OneStop are a big player in the market.

I actually needed mine for a business trip this weekend, now I'll have to lug a laptop instead.

So be warned, check stock levels of your supplier before you order unless you're very patient.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mattwilkinson:
I had an order in with One Stop Phone Shop - the Sales guy said that they would have them in stock in 7-10 days (that was two weeks agao when I ordered it). Now they are saying that they think they will have them in another five days. I have cancelled my order - no point my 120 pounds waiting in their account while stock arives - it might as well be in mine!

I think uplands or some O2 retail shops is the only place that has stock
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] centaur25:
Matt,

You have probably done the right thing cancelling, in fact I'm on the verge of cancelling mine.

I've dealt with One stop since they began trading and they have never treated me like this before - quite the opposite.. But then I've only ordered 'free' or less sort after phones in the past which they probably had loads of.

One stop need to be careful, in my business customer service failures mean lost customers...

Time to get off my soapbox and give Uplands some business I think.[/quote]
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
I hear what you are all saying about Onestop, and indeed to an extent had it myself too.

But, alas, one word of warning...

Uplands, as good as they are on a gaurenteed stock level or the XDA2 for a quid (not seen anyone put it to the test though), bear in mind the following...

Uplands actually don't offer the XDA2 on a normal £30 a month tariff like Xnet 200 with 50 SMS.

They only start at a £35 a month tariff, and even then, the XDA2, when I last looked, was a much more pricey £169.99 compared to Onestop's £119 on a £30 tariff.

Assuming you stayed on the tariff throughout, which admittedly most don't, then this would mean Uplands working out £110 more expensive over a year (£60 rental, and £50 handset cost).

So bear it in mind.

Even with a tariff drop after 4 months, it would still be £20 more expensive for the tariff for the first 4 months, and then £50 more for the handset, so still, at the cheapest possible method/deal, some £70 more expensive to buy from uplands.

So what you have to ask yourselves, understandably of course, is whether waiting two weeks justifies at least a £70 increase in price.

And I've just checked with Uplands and yes I am right, the cheapest tariff they start it on is at £35 a month, not the usual £30, and worse, it is indeed, even then, on a higher tariff, £169.99 compared to Onestop's £119.99 on a cheaper tariff.

So the price costings I listed are correct.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mattwilkinson:
Absolutely - it isn't justified, but will you actually wait two weeks? No-one knows it may be more like 2 months and so if you want one now that's the price you have to pay - supply and demand I guess!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] centaur25:
XDAii from OneStop

Matt, This is an interesting point (quote: will you actually wait two weeks? No-one knows it may be more like 2 months).

So given the cost info Shadamehr has posted about Uplands I have decided to test out just how long it will take OneStop to deliver.

I've just called them and they now believe the XDAii will be in stock sometime next week, no actual date though, so I'm not holding my breath just yet.

Shadamehr is right its all down to service vs price, so for now OneStop will keep my order.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mattwilkinson:
They have been saying 'in a week' 'at the end of the week' etc for about three weeks now!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mark.peters:
Okay - following on from the posts here about OneStopPhoneShop, I ordered a XDA II from them on 25/03/04.

Cheeky bu**ers debited the £119.99 straight away, then told me they had no stock.

Rang them up this morning, gave them hell, and told them I wanted to cancel and take my business elsewhere. Then they told me that mine had arrived this morning, and I should receive it tomorrow - all being well.

True enough, the status has changed to awaiting connection to mobile network .. so fingers crossed.

HTH

Mark
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Centaur,

Can you give us an update as to how you come on with Onestop?

Personally, for me, with her indoors breathing down my neck in terms of the money I sped ( :oops: ), there was just no way I could justify £70 to £130 difference solely on the basis of getting it quicker.

And as luck would have it, mine came quick.

But I understand why other people have a different view.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Mark, from LOTS of sales I have had with Onestop (and beleive me, I'm not sticking up for them per se, as some of my orders have been a nightmare with them), what actually happens is that for chargeable handsets not in stock, as soon as supplies arrive in, the debit is made against your card before their system will allow it to allocate one of the arrivals in, to your order.

There is a delay in the online tracking status however, so that you don't realise this.

Thus your card was debited appropriately, just the tracking system didn't indicate this very well.

At least, if anything like the issues I had, this is what has happened.

Oh, and one last thing...

If there is further delay, this is GENUINELY because of the NETWORK having a back-log of connections to process. I didn't believe Onestop at first, but a check with O2 Mobile confirmed this (you'll be pleased to know it seems Onestop have heeded the comments, and abandoned the abysmal Singlepoint, to instead use O2 Mobile proper, as Service Provider for O2).

Thus, longer opening hours, PUK code available 24hrs from the O2 website etc should apply now.

One crap phone shop

Yup the cheeky onestop bastids did that to me too. I had ordered it just before they changed the price and status said awaiting stock. 4 days later it had changed to cancelled!. I emailed them to say WTF, and they said they had emailed me 3 times asking for 2 proofs of ID as i'd had a phone less than 3 months form them before.

I didn't get this email, and they said as i hadn't replied within three days they cancel the order. I said you didn't really make much effort to contact me, they said what did you espect us to do. I replied well you have my email, mobile number home number home address!

3 days to reply to an email or they cancel your order, bollox if you ask me

I reckon its a case of offer went up lets screw people. I wont deal with them again, they are a bunch of 'coporate bankers'

Well, mine is on the way (at last).

OSPS got approval from O2 for connection - subject to a small deposit of £50 - though god knows why - I've got 2 accounts with O2 already.

Should be here by Saturday :-)

It's gonna be a good Bank Holiday ..

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
If it was dispatched on Thursday, there is only a limited CHANCE it will arrive on Saturday.

Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery is next WORKING day delivery.

I was curious as to what this meant, so i rang them up with this being a Easter Long Weekend.

The guy at Royal Mail was helpful and honest, and told me that in a guarenteed sense, this would mean that it will be here on Tuesday of next week before 12pm.

He DID then say though, that with it being a Bank Holiday Monday they sometimes do SOME deliveries on the Saturday, so I MIGHT see it then.

The online track and trace does indeed however, show delivery date as of 13/04/04.

So not wanting to spoil the party (damn, wish mine was coming sooner), but if your order went through today (well actually, yesterday, thursday as its now Friday early hours), then Tuesday is the proper date... :cry:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mark.peters:

Hi Guys

Ordered my XDA2 from one Stop last Friday @ 11pm and it arrived this Thurday morning without a hitch (they had a delivery of 200 units on Monday), updated with the latest ROM from the O2 website and unlocked it using the tools on this website. This thing rocks

I was sceptical re One Stop as I had a bad experience earlier, but £140 for the phone plus £30 a month for 400 minutes is fine with me, they seemed to have a customer service overhaul, no probs whatsoever

Hi,

My first post :oops:

I had the same hassle with onestop, ordered with them telling me it was in stock, once the order had gone through found out it wasn't, so cancelled straigh away as i had read quite a bit about the poor service.

Ended up going to every phone shop in my town looking for somewhere that had an xda2 in stock, luckily found one in the link and haggled the handset price down to £150! on o2 200, bargain, anyway is worth looking in shops still as with internet sites being so much cheaper i think they are more willing to negotiate on prices a bit now!

Love the xda2 by the way.

Sorry to drag this thread back up but there is a pointer I would like to make for anyone thinking of going through OSPS. READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERY CAREFULLY REGARDING 14 DAY RETURNS. SHOULD YOU BE STUCK IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU NEED TO RETURN THE HANDSET UNDER THE 14 DAY POLICY, THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC TERMS REGARDING THIS

And i got my XDA2 from the Link, £110.00 on o2 200 which they processed as a business connection thru Genesis communications making it £27.00 a month and i got my Double Bundle talk and text first three months...not a bad deal over all :)

Just reading through this topic and thought i'd add my bit. Got my xda 2 last week from http://www.charles-porter.com it cost me £123.00, the contract is 12 months at £35.00 but for that i get 1000 mins anytime cross network and 50 texts.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] suzi5uk:
Hello there Shadamehr, yes im sure. Its called the platinum vip package.

Actually while on the subject of O2 i'd like just to pass on a warning to other customers. Yesterday i spent 3 hours on the phone to O2 trying to sort out my mobile internet during which time they advised me to download a file from the net through my phone, the file was 5mb and had i done so it would of cost me roughly £10.00. I suggested that perhaps i could obtain the file using my pc instead then just drop it into the active sync, after a bit of head scratching the O2 techi i was talking to decided that it would be ok to do so thus saving me a tenner.

So if your ever asked to download anything by your service provider please double check first that it's not gonna leave you out of pocket.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] O2WorkerUK:
What was the file to be downloaded for? What was the problem?

Also, should you be requested by a company to do something that is going to cost, you should gain their assurance that the cost will be recompensated to you by said company :P

Besides in this case, it is much quicker to download via a PC anyway lol

I am new to XDA. For few days I was trying to find the xperia z style phonebook for mdpi. I found one in the following link (Link). But it was White and no transparent to cope with the theme background. But I saw the same phonebook in transparent in a custom ROM named Real ICS r6.

So I decided to extract real ICS r6 and get those files and put them into "adhiefadillah99" (His) Flashable Zip and WoW! It Works Like a charm.I also used some extra modification in Call Screen Conversation style. Hope you guys Like it.
