Hi,
I'm considering buying a XDA online from http://shop.brando.com.hk/
I myself live in the Netherlands and since it's not around the corner, I was wondering if some of you have experience with this online shop ?
Is it reliable ?
Thanks for your input !
[email protected]<nospam>braminator.com
haha, buying from that place is so X....... if you lots on money, buy from him. I bought my 3 weeks ago Scadisk 256MB for Singapore dollar $169 only
Do it in holland
Bram,
I bought my XDA second hand and the seller decided it would be a good idea to upgrade it before being sold.
It has been upgraded end of march and it works like a charm.
He also gave me the bill of the upgrade since there is warranty!
Upgrade has been ordered from PDA Tech Center in Maarssen. Price was 99 Euro. There website is http://www.sfinx.demon.nl/palm
I am not affiliated in any way to them.

Why is it so slow to be avilable in other countries?
The 64MB XDA has been out in Asia for may months!
Brando
I've ordered a stylo and a protection seal for my screen over there.
It was delivered very quick. They sent me the wrong stylo and they sent me a new one for free and payed the returning stamps for me.
Good service at Brando!!
Stefan
哈哈 ,
FYI, brando stuff are very expensive... at least $50 exp... if you got plenty of $$$ get form him. there was time the ram is $100 more then others people is selling

Hi,
Does anyone know a good place to buy a cheap O2 XDA?
Some people claim it can be bought (with no subscription) around 500 Euro's.
I was unable to find a place where I can buy them for that price.
A shop around Amsterdam would be nice, but online ordering is no problem too ...
Thanx ....
Try eBay.com
Thanks for the reply
Good thinking, but we can't buy them from e-bay.
We need more then one, all with receipt.
And I think the risk of not getting the devices, or
(slightly) broken/buggy models is too big.
try O2 shop in Holland if they have them
in the UK they are selling reconditioned 32mb XDA's for 99 GBP with contract (can be data only), missing a few bits - headphones and software, but you can get these separate anyway.
I just cancelled my O2 data contract and bought another XDA with standalone data contract with PAYG voice.
Regards
Tim
Whereabouts are they selling them for £99 Tim?
buy XDA
Try: http://shop.brando.com.hk/
I just bought one from them excellent service ,
I sent them money via Paypal and the device was FedEx to me the day after.
Asa.

You mean UK O2 shops are selling reconditioned XDA for 99 GBP ?
It's unbelievable.
yes 99GBP - I bought mine yesterday from O2 shop in Bluewater, (01322 623860) but I guess any of the larger O2 shops will do them - I didn't check the O2 shop in Lakeside which is smaller.
It had no headphones, leather case or software.
The headphones you can get for £20 GBP
Those horrible cases you can get for £20 GBP (or a decent one off ebay for $30)
and I have the software anyway - and would imagine you could obtain easily from this forum anyway.
It had the USB cradle, power plug - uk & european pins, little serial power adaptor, stylus x 2. The xda was in near perfect condition , only the label on the back was slightly lifted, where i guess the technicans have changed something. Maybe others will be different.
If you already have a 12 month voice contact, the data part is probably only 3 months. So i cancelled my data contract and will give the sim to someone and took out a new data contract (12 months if data only) with PAYG phone since i rarely use the phone (which most sales reps won't tell you - and the data contract works out £10 a month less for me anyway.
and now i just have to decide which XDA I keep, and sell the other one.
Regards
Tim
O2 is still selling these refurbished PDA for 99£ in all their stores I've seen in London.
I am worried about the absence of software.
What software usually comes, but is absent on the refurbished XDA?
Is it software to install on your PC/Laptop or is it softawre for the XDA?
Thanks

WOW 99 pounds I want one but without service - Possible ?
99 pounds WOW
I am really interested in finding out this software missing part .....
1- Please, let me know. If this software can be downloaded from somewhere around here then I would contact them immediately to buy one.
I don't need any service I just need the device. Is that possible ? is this price for the device only without any service ?
2- Is this tri-band !!
Thanks a million guys. This is a great piece of information.
Can't find anything for 99 GBP at http://shop.brando.com.hk/
I just went to their website but couldn't find any thing for 99 !!
so I emailed them [email protected] to ask.
GONE
No more. All gone.
Can some 1 in UK tell us how much will it cost to buy one in UK with the plan? I don't need the plan but it seems that this is the only way to get1, right?
There's nothing on their website but go ask in their shop
I've bought mine a month ago now for 99 pounds in London, in Hammermith Kings Mall, but the two shops on Oxford Street also had them for 99 pounds.
I admit I haven't checked since then, but when I asked last month they said this wasn't a temporary offer and it would go on.
They don't actually advertise them anymore, but just ask for the "REFURBISHED" XDA in the store!
As far as I can tell the "missing software" is the 2nd CD-ROM provided by Microsoft which contains Microsoft Activesync (and probably other free Microsoft software) which you can download for free from the microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp
(version 3.6 is also available, but other users on this forum suggest you do not use it (yet))
It did come with the O2 CD-ROM
It did not come with the headphones, no replacement stylus, no leather case
It is NOT tri-Band
confusing response from O2
I went to the shop in Hammersmith this morning, they said they still carry the promotion but have no XDA "in stock" (read: none that have been brought back to O2 for "refurbishing") but when they will get some you'll still be able to buy them for 99£.
HOWEVER, i also called one of the shop in Oxford Street and they said they stopped selling them a "long time ago".
Sorry for the confusion, hope this helps.

I asked in the second O2 shop on Oxford Street, the one closest to tottenham court road ( Yes I know, I always go to the same places, ...)
They said the same thing:
- ...We don't have them any more
- But wil you continue the promotion if you get some more in stock?
- Yes...
He didn't say whether they were actually expecting to get any new ones in stock
I am not sure but...
somehow I get the feeling that the ease of unlocking has led O2 to change the strategy in selling these thingies.
On the other hand.....I just lost an online battle of command and conquer Generals. So there go my strategy skills :evil:

hi, i bought a xda unconnected from dixons for only £399
if you go into any dixons store, they will do a search for you across stores in the region, you must quote unconnected. (ex-display)
It would probably be cheaper to buy one on contact and throw the sim card.
12 months @ £15 per month = £180 + the cost of a phone.
If anyone does throw the SIM card, can I have it?
Regards
Tim
no local phone companys are offering the XDA /qtek..... phones
with a phone subscription which always lower the price of the phone
but i can buy the qtek 1010 64MB without a phone subscription but with sales tax (25%) it's 589.662 £ / 827.496 euRO
which is pretty high imho
are there anywhere in UK or germany or something like that where you can buy the XDA without a subscription much cheaper then that ?
(and are these places where they ship to other EU countries ?)
thanks for any help

I managed to pick up a 32MB XDA for £150 from carphone warehouse - no plan either. Ex demo model which was as good as new. The SKU is XDAXDEMOSILVER if you want to check with your local CPW to see if they have any in stock.
Hi
I am sure you guys will know- eBay UK is a good cheap source for xdas and I got mine (64mb version) brand new for £290; no vat. You got to play safe and check out the seller; for me I got his number, send a cheque to a proper address with the cheque crossed so that it HAS to go into a bank account and made him send me a proper receipt. You can also use one of those escrow service which only pay the guy after you have received the set in good order. Right now this minute, there are 32 mb brand new phones advertised for £250. Most of these guys selling the new phones are folks who have contracts with O2 and doesn't need the upgrade xda and tried to make some money out of it. If you bid for one, I figure the 64mb version would be worth around £300 ish and the 32 mb version is about £200 ish. This is from observations over the last 3 months or so and of course there is an element of luck as to how many people were interested in your same bid.
Good luck :lol:

XDA for sale in Italy
XDA is coming for sale in Italy in July/August as Qtek 1010 from 3 operators.
Vodafone: will sell it only through their business channel at first, later in stores as Vodafone PDA. You can check www.190.it
WIND & TIM: both operators should go commercial very soon, I guess September.
Good thing is in Italy non of the operators lock the phones. Therefore you can go into ANY store and buy the device without a contract or so on
Daniele
Purchased July 2003, mint condition & reboxed with all goodies. Have upgraded to XDA II last week.
I 'm seriously interested ... how much do you want (plz keep it reasonable )
Is the XDA still for sale?
Hi there I note that you have an xda for sale. Is that still thecase and if so how much of a reasonable price would you ask for it?
Secondly, do you or anyone else for that matter, know where I can get my screen repaired on a 2002 64 meg model? Or is it feasible for me to attempt a diy job if i can get the parts?
Many Thanks

Re: Is the XDA still for sale?

128M TMO XDA For Sale
I'm really wanting an XDA II and have an existing XDA (TMO USA PocketPC Phone Edition version). Had it replaced under TMO's $75 replacement plan 4 months ago, pretty much new. Had PocketPcTechs upgrade unit to 128M. Uses their driver (T2TDisk) to access upper 64M.
Got all the original stuff it came with. Bit of a techie so have upgraded unit to ROM 4.01.00, RS 6.24.01 (WM2003). Still waiting for TMO's USA official upgrade.
Appears the going rate is in the GBP140-150 range (~US$250). Been thinking of using eBay but hey ... Buyer pays shipping. Anyone interested? I'll send separate email link to interested parties.

please check your messages.
I was just curious does anyone know of a good site other than ebay or kijiji. This question is more for My Ontario Canada brothers.....I understand every community or region may have a certain place to sell used tech stuff. Hey if anyone is interested pm me. Also what do you all feel is a good price? Thanks ahead of time for the responses.
Hey man i feel you still I bought my X10 on the day it was released here in Canada with high hopes, and it been kinda of ****. But to be honest If you got your phone with a contract just keep the phone for a year or something and just wait for the next gen phones to come out to Rogers/Canada. I know some people are have switched to the Desire and stuff, well it may seem cool now it is kinda outdated and the "next gen" phones are coming out next year as well. So yeh.
Also try ebay. I tried to sell my X10 at a point but people are kinda aware of the lack of multi touch and stuff so I gave up. One guy was asking me 250.
Redflag Deals might be a good place, but plenty are already selling their X10s there.
The going price in the UK for a used X10 in good condition without scratches is between 200 and 250 pounds. I think it's a good price. You could can sell on ebay as long as you are priced right.
I get one free device per year of up to 1,000 euro in value from my service provider. Plus the local dealer let's me get a second device at the same price as a new customers with contract. So I bought the iphone4 in the beginning of July for 300.
I got the X10 for free, so 200 pounds would go towards covering the cost of the 4. I am taking mine to a flea market next weekend and going to try to get 300 to 250. If not I will put it on Ebay with a buy now price of 220.
Are you just trying to sell it or do you want to replace it with another phone? I'd suggest offering a trade for some other phones on Kijiji and various message boards...
Good grief. Nobody here want to use XDA's own marketplace?
im looking to pick up an x10 if youre still looking to sell. send me a msg and maybe we can work something out? im in ontario as well

Being that people are having trouble getting their hands on one I advise giving eBay a shot.

Also when does this ship in the US!?!?!?

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-BKB-50-Bl...&qid=1433574303&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=bkb50 Comes to $214 AUD but no shipping to Aus.
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/53608-official-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-bluetooth-keyboard-case-black.htm $233.50 + $30 postage AUD :/

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!
