One Seriously P***** Guy Over these New XDA Thangs

If O2 or CPW (Car phone warehouse) Offer these new XDA's that are meant to be coming out on a Free upgrade I'll be happy but if they don't I'll be really pissed i've only recently shelved out alot of dosh for my current XDA and to know that its about to be 'Superseeded' Is something I'm not happy about! I allready have a £500 bill I carnt pay for just one months worth of GPRS Charges! That's Anouther thing when will Mobile companys come up with bargain bucket deals like NTL do on broadband? Lets say £30 p/m for unlimited GPRS Usage! now that'll give my xda something to do! and make my battery work harder! Grrrr :evil: o2 are Bastards! Who agrees?

Tmo in the states offers a $99 plan that has 1500 minutes, unlimited meg on GPRS, unlimited txt messaging and unlimited hotspot (wifi) usage.

PUSH E-MAIL??
For the $79 plan you really get the hookup, too. Just no included nights & weekends, for $5 extra u can get unlimited nights though.
Sweet deal, if you use the hotspots at all (I take my laptop to starbucks once in a while).
The only question is, how can we get the quasi-push e-mail for the XDA I? Works with the IPAQ, sends "silent" text to the phone to alert it to download messages. Sweet!! But isn't working on my old XDA.

Mate, If I was you, I'd sell my new XDA on Ebay. If it's as new as you say, you can get at least £200 (the price you bought it for) and then use that to buy a new one when they come out in November.
I don't know if it'll be a free upgrade. I was gonna get an XDA II on contract last week and then found out about XDA IIi, IIs and MDA Compact.
I'll wait for the MDA Compact.

What's with O2 and the XDAIIi ?

I rang O2 yesterday to see about posssibly upgrading my XDAII and getting the XDAIIi but the sales operative I spoke to was less than helpful.
"we don't do that phone" was the reply.
I stated that it's on their website and that billboards all over London show it in all it's glory. He then went off to ask his manager and after a long wait, he returned and said they should have it next week!!!
What a shambles, to advertise something then not even allowing you to order it.
Is there anywhere else in UK I can order it from? Or is it just "scotch mist".
Has anybody else been luckier than me?

I am a O2 select customer (due to the amount i spend each month) (over £50 p/m automaticaly makes you a select customer) and this gets you slightley better upgrade prices. But to get my XDA2i i did the same as i did last year to get the XDA2.
I got our local o2 store to call me as soon as they had a 2i in stock, i then go to the shop and pay what ever they charge, and then a month later or when ever "select" get them in they credit my account with the differance between what i paid in a shop to what they would have sold it for.
they probley do this because they have no answer as to why cant i a select customer have a phone, but jo bogs off the street can get one in most of the o2 shops.

I went into a London O2 shop (Cheapside) on 31 Jan, and they upgraded my XDA II to a IIi on the spot. They had only received the IIi that morning, apparently. Was charged £175 (which I will significantly reduce by selling on the original device). I've been on a £25pm contract since November 03.
Good luck
Tim

It seems I may be in luck... Oxford street are holding one for me and I'm off there this afternoon to do the deed.
It's £179 so that's not too sad...
wooooohoooo!!!

What is Scotch mist?

it's a euphemism for B******t !!!!!

it's a euphemism for B******t !!!!!

I phoned up O2 UK shop, held for 20 mins, and they said they don't have any - probably not for a month or two (even though it appears you can order new ones on-line - but I wanted an upgrade which you don't appear to be able todo without phoning them.
I then phoned the two big O2 shops in Manchester and they said they don't have any either or a delivery date
I'm stuck - seems like London gets the new stuff first.
Russ

i hope they will release this thing in germany soon :evil:
i cant wait any longer

XDA IIi
I phoned O2 on Wedensday 2nd Feb and received my XDAIIi on Thursday 3rd Feb withouth a hitch. My contract is a pay up front yearly 200 mins per month peak for £150ish.
Suggest you speak to another member of staff.

Hi Folks , I agree with daash's opinion, speak to someone else
I rang O2 in the UK as I was thinking of cancelling my contract and check out the deal they offered me
XDA 2i for £100, should be £199
They will also take £10 a month off my existing £25 a month tariff and give me the Gold Insurance for £5 a month
So all I pay is for the phone is £100 and tarif & insurance is only £20 a month
The number I called was 0870 2410202, option 4 (Retentions)
Get them before they change their minds
PS Anyone want to buy an XDA2, WM 2003, Unlocked, boxed with all accessories incl PDA software and Tom Tom Navigator 3
PM me with any offers
Thanks

On monday I left me xda II in a taxi :'(
No luck in getting back but rung up o2 to cancle and get a new simcard whch have now got. They said I couldnt upgrade until june which is for a year .. they offered me £160 for xda IIi, but said they couldnt do anything until June.
Perhaps it depends on who you speak to, I dont know what commision they get for selling there phones, perhaps the phone is a price, then a top price which includes their commision, they can knock off their commisison depending on their mood?
I got a s**t motorola MX200 tempory replacement which at least connects to me pc, but not half as good as wm 2003.. Wouldnt mind getting an update for smartphone 2002.. loads of stuff it lacks in.

Call tmo for the code or spend 3 bucks for unlock code.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.

where do you buy the code? I called T-mo, and they said they would send me an email in up to 8 days. It's currently 14 days later.
--For the record, I have searched the internet, and ended up wasting over 40 bucks trying to unlock a Touch Pro, which when purchased the guy claimed it was unlocked.

Call T-Mobile again tell them your about to leave like tomorrow or in 2 days work something out with them. If not try a trusted website and read comments before going ahead and purchasing an unlock code. Just giving small tips sorry I don't know any website off the top of my head.

I purchased an unlocking service from ebay when I bought mine in May. Took less than a day for them to process the order and send me my unlock code. Worked like a charm. I paid $10 but just checked and the seller I bought from has lowered their price to like $4.
Here's a link to the one I bought:

Got mine for 3bucks few weeks back, now its 3.88. It works for me.

oh sorry, can a mod move it to the right section please

Question
You want to swap it for another Service provider? Why don't you just pay to get the phone simunlocked?
As for the ebay, you don't paint a very good picture my friend, no offence, but flea bay is not the best way to buy goods, infact it's kind of a rip off and a lot of people have a hard time because of the likes of flea bay, i understand your trying to get rid of your sensation but it doesn't look good m8.
If all you want to do is change providers then get it unlocked.

So you have great feedback, which is your main selling point as to why people can trust you, but the account isn't yours meaning the feedback isn't yours (or at least nobody else can verify it).
Yeah...

Anywho, wrong section. Selling is only allowed in the marketplace buuutttt...eBay sales are not allowed.

woot got my g2x for 25.00

so i was eligible for upgrade pricing, but that wasn't good enough for me. so i called customer care and they got me to the loyalty department IE retentions and i got them to give me a 75.00 credit. after the rebate phone will cost 25.00 not bad i think!
now to get it root it backup the free games and mod it .....

That's a great deal. I'm a recent G2x owner and I rooted it pretty easy using NvFlasher process which is the only way to go. Its located in development section.

already got all the tools and 3 roms ready to go , should get the phone on march 2nd or sooner....and how i got it.
i had 1 year left on contract. but had not upgraded my phone in a year so i qualified for the upgrade discount. but i have been with t for 8 years (no issues) and i poked around using searches like t Mobil upgrade deals ect found a few sites that said to call them inquire in to your contract ask if they could do better than what i was seeing on the t site and then say humm i'll have to think about it. then they get you to the customer loyalty department and usually make a offer. with out any hesitation they offered me a one time credit of 75.00 to my account. so my upgrade price was 149.99 with a 50.00 mail in rebate. = 99.99 and i got customer care to credit my next bill 75.00 so end result 25.00 ( with a 2 year extension but i had no real plan to switch anyway) im paying 89.99 a month for 2 phones one with the 4g 5gb data plan. ) and i cant touch that price anywhere else.
as a 2nd bonus i'm going to disable Mobil data on my optimus t put my moms sim in it and she can use my old phone with wifi and i wont need a data plan. ( not sure if t will let me get away with that but i used a e398 for years on the us t with out issues and they never complained.... and ya it was moded too

Damn thanks button sucks. Wish I could delete the thanks since obviously it makes no sense. Anyway you probably could of got it for free if you waited for the monthly free sale on tmobile.com. Maybe you can push it on them later

Not trying to thread crap but I was recently able to get a free galaxy s2 for gf through tmobile by renewing (250 credit), though line was almost out of contract...
Plus my phone g2x I have was free after 1yr through tmobile as I called and said my touch 4g sux.... No contact extension or anything.
although kudos because for "upgrade pricing" its hard to get jack from tmo.
