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?

I sent them money via Paypal and the device was FedEx to me the day after.

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.

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?

Hi All,
I ordered the HTC y cable and 3.5mm stereo adapter from Expansys over 2 weeks ago.
The y cable (according to their website was IN STOCK) and there was a 4 day wait for the 3.5mm adapter.
Well its been two weeks since then and this is the status of my order till it arrives at their store.
Y cable - ESTIMATED 11 DAYS
3.5mm ADAPTER - ESTIMATED 31 DAYS.
I called them up yesterday about this and they said that they have over 400 orders on the above and that HTC hasnt supplied them stock since Q4 of last year.
So why do they mislead their customers and say some items are in stock and some have only "4 days" till they get stock. Its been 2 damn weeks already and it may have to wait another month.
This is false advertising.
I will call them up later this week and see what is going on (they already have my money) before deciding whether or not I should speak to a consumer ombudsman.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had a smiliar problem with my p4350 and treo 680 batteries. i ordered them and both were in stock after about 4 days but my online status said that it would take about 5 days more because of the treo 680 battery which was in stock when i ordered (they waited for the p4350 battery at the beginning).
after i complained via email (to expansys germany) they offered to ship the order seperately free of extra charge but i had to wait several more days for the treo 680 battery to be shipped.
then the status said both items were shipped and i got both of them the next day.
have to say i wanted to cancel order, suddenly it CAN be shipped. very strange shop.
but i got the 3,5mm adapter from doml.com much cheaper and after about 1 week (shipping to GER). so better order it there ...
ps: they also said that some items are in stock but from their us storehouse, and then it would take about a week to arrive there.
I had the same problem.... was 4 days when i ordered. been 2 weeks now, and the status is STILL 10 days.
there are others that are perhaps now better that wont be available until 15th Feb, at this rate they will arrive before the one I ordered weeks ago.
i have had similar problems with expansys, they promise what they cant deliver, i believe with deceptive and misleading conduct, knowing that they cannot possibly meet the demands with available supply.
the only saving grace i can find with them is that they dont take your money till they deliver the goods.
They told me that until both of my items are in stock, they won't ship, and they DON'T hold one item until the other comes in. I cancelled my order and went elsewhere...
bastards..... they think they can get away with anything...
Yep, been waiting for my items for about a month already.
me too
Order Placed: 1/3/2007 7:38 PM London UK Time
Customer:
Main Status: Awaiting Stock
Explanation: We are currently awaiting the stock required to fulfil your order.
Notes:
Remaining to be shipped: ORA HTC extUSB Stereo Headset Adaptor
Item Qty - 1
Ordered Qty - 1
Remaining Status - Usually Ships In 5 Days
my order status as of yesterday was 4 days for both items.
Checked today and it has increased to 10 days for both.
Based on the stats, they have 400 orders for the usb splitter and 3.5mm adapter, so if everyone pulls out they will lose around $20K.
Maybe we should email them and link them this thread.
I gave up on Expansys over a year ago. Their inventory system is nothing but a stack of BS. At one point I waited 3 months on an item, received the wrong item, had to argue for weeks that it really was wrong, and they still took 4 months to issue a credit.
It's a shame, because they used to be pretty good, but I suspect they just got too big to be customer friendly anymore
A friend of mine sent them an email concerning an Sony Ericsson phone because it was for sale on expansys but not on mobile planet (hes in the US) so they told him to order it off the expansys site and it'd take up to 14 days.. guess what, he never got it. This guys an idiot and never called or emailed to check it up so about a month later i called them for him and they said they will ship it in a week, never shipped so i called back and demanded a refund, btw they charged his credit card the 2nd day he put the order in.
They tried to give him store credit +50usd on expansys, not mobile planet instead of a refund. Thats some bull****, so i finally argued with them and threatened legal action blah blah and they refunded it.
Although right when the US expansys partnered with mobileplanet.com i ordered pocketpctechs screen protectors off them for my device and everything went smoothily, so i guess don't order things that are in high demand and maybe call them before making an order to make sure they have it in stock..?

Your not going to want to hear this but... HAVE PATIENTS!!!
I ordered mine on the 23rd Feb. It said 10 days. I checked it daily and the number of days went up and down like a yoyo.
Last wednesday it got as low as 4 days.
Thursday i checked again and it jumped up to 25 days, but with nothing else available i decided to wait.
Friday it said 13 days in the AM (i think)
Then Friday PM it said dispatched.
Sure enough it arrived Saturday morning...which was almost exactly the 10 days the site first said it would
I've since made an adapter out of mine... and so have a decent setup in my car!
(I just wonder if any of you that canceled your order helped me jump a place or two in the que speeding up my delivery?)
Expensive but im happy!
Mine finally arrived 2 days ago... it took a month from the time it was ordered to the time it arrived...
Oh Well... At least is does work.
Patience I will have if they correctly state the waiting times for their items.
If it says 4 days, people will most likely purchase hoping to receive it then.
They take your money and then hit you with a Month waiting list.
Now I do not know which country you guys are from, but in Australia that is illegal. the ACCC (Consumer Watchdog) should be notified about this as they are purposefully misleading the public.
Have you ever been to the Expansys dispatch/head office in Victoria? VERY unorganised, almost like a garage type setup. Every time I've had to deal with them I've had problems, they're a waste of time.
Mobileplant uses shady business practices
I have experienced everything described on this thread with Mobileplant. The worst thing is no one else is selling these HTC accessories. Where else can we go?
A few years ago they were expensive with great service. Now they are very expensive with lousy service, and use shady business practices. If I can get it anywhere else I do.
i ordered the ora 3.5mm adapter from expansys usa (mobileplanet), the one with the mic built in and hangup/answer button 2 days ago. it shipped yesterday.
Why not order your accessories through eBay. That's what I've done for years. It's much cheaper and most of the sellers run businesses so the shipping is quick.
Thats interesting... i have had great experiences with Expansys... i ordered my first 838Pro when they came out and it was on my door in 12 hours... but i havent ordered accessories as they are always hard to come by...
by law expansys cannot charge your CC until items have been shipped... if you want to part ship them they can split the order then charge what has been shipped to your CC...
so its been over 1 month since i placed my order on 12.02.2007 and i got nothing. I kept emailing them every day but they do not repond
i have order from expansys.de , payed though papypal but nothing
can you help me find stores in singapore selling case for polaris. a friend is going there this month and im asking him to buy for me. preferably capdase, pdair(aluminum or leather), noreve, & krussel.
Hi, I don't know if I'm too late.
In singapore, there are 2 malls famous for their IT products, Funan and Sim Lim.
I bought my leather case for my Polaris at Funan (level 2) for $25, and I think there are cheaper ones. Ground level has a few push cart stalls that sell the same thing too.
Sim Lim ground level has quite a lot of stalls that sell casings for all types of mobiles. Either the 5th or 6th level there is a shop called Million Mobile (or something to that effect) that has tons of mobile accessories, including Polaris cases.
bought one already couple of weeks ago, thanks anyway.
Hello
I've been looking at getting a tablet, and my choice has fallen upon this beauty, the Transformer Prime.
I only have 1 problem at the moment, and that is obtaining it.
I live in Denmark, where it's not for sale yet (earlier pre orders are mid April, and i don't want to wait 3 weeks to perhaps get a chance to get one before they're sold out). So I've tried looking elsewhere to purchase one.
I'm mainly interested in the 32gb version (or 64 if possible), preferably gold colored and of course including the dock keyboard
I've found this one so far:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-EeePad...2ME4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332691285&sr=8-1
But was wondering if anyone else has some ideas where to find it cheaper / closer / better ?
If all goes well, I'm going to be ordering it one of the next few days

You don't! Get it from Germany! Since this forum has a retarded post prevention I can't post any links, but google "preisvergleich" and look from there.

I found this:
http://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich...eee-pad-transformer-prime-32gb-grau-asus.html
But it's only about 100 danish kroner cheaper than the one from the UK (4550 from UK, 4450 from germany), and the one from the UK is from Amazon, and this one is from some german website i haven't heard of before :/
If that is even the one you meant? I tried googling the word you linked and that was the first website on google, and i went from there.
Ty for the try though, very much appreciated
You can post links even if you don't have the post, you'll just have to add some spaces in the link and use stuff like "[DOT]" instead of "."
Last time i checked computercity.dk they where in stock there.. So maybe u should check them out.

They are indeed in stock on computercity.dk, only in Odense though, and its 500 kr more expensive than the one off Amazon.. But it would be a lot better if I bought it from a Danish company, in case it breaks or has flaws.. Hard choice tbh :/
Ty a lot for the tip

Hejsa
It has been for sale several places in denmark already.
I bought one from Føniks (fcomputers.dk) on the 29 february. But i dropped that one and broke it But thank god for insurance
And i ordered a new one from wupti.dk on Monday and i got that Wednesday.
You should just check Edbpriser.dk a few times a day to see if somebody get it in stock..

I've checked fcomputer.dk & wupti.dk. Neither of them even have the Transformer Prime on their website, anywhere.
I also check edbpriser.dk regularly, and all the ones that are listed are out of stock and wont come untill at the earliest 2nd april, some even near the end of april.
As predicted, I got paid today so I'm going to be ordering this baby some time either today or tomorrow
I bought mine at Amazon DE, you have 30 days to see if you like it or not.
Be aware that the dock/keyboard is German, meaning that some letters are not placed in same "position" as in the UK one.
If I was you, I would buy it at Amazon UK.
You do not pay shipping cost for the Prime.
I did not do that because at that time, Amazon DE was the first to have it in stock.

I was looking at Amazon DE aswell, but also saw they were using QWERTZ keyboard setup (I think that's the one?) instead of QWERTY as normal english (and also danish) keyboards.
I'm in the process of ordering the Prime off Amazon UK, just trying to find a nice case/sleeve for it as well, to protect it
If anyone has any tips on the case/sleeve, feel free to post them
I use the english and the danish... with the tablet undocked.
No problem here is very nice.
I found no problems with "languages" in using the German one in this case.
I am also Italian... so I actually have 3 languages to use.
In order to keep this forum clean i have closed the following threads -
Nexus 10 Price Tag Sighting at WalMart!!
Looks like it will be in UK Currys PCWorld on 13th
Will be sold at Walmart. Cover attachment is ugly.
Please use this thread to discuss anything related to where you bought your device, how much it cost, how much was shipping and how long for shipping.
Thanks

Just my 2p but these threads were relating to different stores in different countries and were perfectly valid. No need to merge them.
So now I have to sift through a bunch of stuff about where it's going to be sold in the US to find the bits about where it's going to be sold in the UK? Are we rationing threads now?
Ridiculous.

Agreed. Im not really bothered where and what isle in Wallmart the N10 will be sold at. Im not going to jump on a plane and travel 12 hours to America.
Can we not duplicate this post and have a seperate UK and an American one, maybe more for other location????
Never thought one day I'd go to a Walmart to buy a $500 tablet....

Are the prices in the Google Play Store what you would pay in total if you placed an order or would you have to add VAT and delivery charges on top?
Ok, it seems that my decision to make one thread about buying the Nexus 10 and the reason is a little foggy to some people, so let me try and clear it up for everyone. Yes we could make a thread just for the UK and the US, but you would then have to make one for the other 6/7 countries you can buy the Nexus 10 in being, Austraila, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan, so having 8 threads on where to buy the Nexus 10 in my mind is not needed. These types of thread only have a short life span and will die away after a few months, because most people would have bought it by then, also these type of threads dont pick up that much traffic, so sifting through and finding the infomation you need won't be that hard, remember the search button it's really good at finding you the answer you need. So lets please not fill this thread up with anymore should we or not have more than one thread.
Thanks

Alright guys let's make this thread an informative one so people don't have to siff through much [What's done, has been done]. Rather than complaining and wasting space let's talk Nexus
So hopefully tomorrow I can find out if Currys/PC World will be selling the Nexus 10 on launch day or on the 18th. :good:
Yes I'll be asking at my local store on Sunday. I don't know why they'd wait till the 18th?!
Someone, somewhere on here said that they asked and 'someone' told them it'd be released on the 18th in store. Nothing concrete yet though, and hope that's incorrect.
The 18th is a Sunday. Why would it get released on a Sunday!?!
I'm going in tomorrow to ask. So I guess we'll find out from a few places and get a good picture. A release on the 18th is the sort of weird move that sounds like they're trying to follow in the footsteps of Comet...
I called the Walmart nearest my house today and asked if they had the Nexus 10 Android Tablet ("no"), and when they expected to get them ("no idea"). Very helpful walmart.
I hope it is sold on Newegg.com. I have a 500 dollar gift card to there I would love to use on this.
Thanks for all the good info guys. I'm considering getting one.
well not a shot to buy from handtek they are greedy uk prices are 319gbp for 16gb and 389 for 32gb and prices on handtek are too high for my taste ,really the profit margin of them is redicilius high and the review of their site over the net is not so well ,even if i am not in lauch countries i will not be tempted by them ,i will wait a bit longer ....
