Try www.expansys.com. They sell SIM free xda IIs disguised as " i-mate PDA2K Pocket PC", as well as xda II alias "i-mate Pocket PC". It may be worth while to check the prices in different locations - they seem to vary a lot. A list of places offering the xda IIs can be found in http://www.expansys.de/error.asp?exit=015&data=I-MATE_III.

You also may considering deShop.
They've got the Imate version and the Qtek version. They also got a lot off accessories for the devices, like cases... they're really the only shop I found with so much accessories!!
I bought there the Imate PDA2K, the Piel Frama case, brodit holder, and just made I new order for the Imate JAM, brodit holder and an alucase for the PDA2K.
They 've nice services and very good prices... even shipping to Belgium (this shop is located in the Netherlands)
Good luck with your search...

hi
i'm selling my t-mobile mdaIII with english qtek rom, and it's without sim lock
contact me with private message if you are interested
it's like new and with many many software... ;-))
bye!

Tweakers.net pricewatch checks the price in several online stores in countries around the Netherlands.
The site is all in dutch, but you can see the prices and the references the the e-shops, whose websites should be in english.

Which XDAII?

O2 informed me today that I'm entitled to an 'Advantage' upgrade. As I currently have the XDAII, I'm wondering if it is worth my while upgrading to the IIs or the IIi or just staying as I am. From the specifications on the O2 website, I can't see a whole lot of difference between then (except may be the addition of wireless access).
What does the group recommend?
wait for universal you'll sure see a difference with that
XDA II & XDA Exec
Thanks Rudegar,
I contacted O2.ie today and found out that while the XDA Exec is just out on the market in the UK, it's only in testing in the Irish Network presently. I hate feeling like I'm being fed BS but it seems to me that if the phone works in the UK it will work here! The techonolgy is the same. The parallel to that is that surely they wouldn't release a phone in the UK that couldn't roam?
Any suggestions for prodding the Irish O2?
Is there anyone in the UK on this list who has purchased (or is about to purchase) and XDA Exec? If so, would they mind enquiring off O2 UK whether they can roam in Ireland (as opposed to Northern Ireland) with their new phone? Better still, if they can get it in writing that their new phone will roam in Ireland then O2 IE haven't a leg to stand on.
Seamie
well maybe since it have utms/3g support they are testing that ?

O2 XDA Orbit Coming Soon

Might be old news, but XDA Orbit has finally appeared on the O2 UK website
https://shop.o2.co.uk/ComingSoon
I'll certainly be looking to buy one!!
XDA Orbit
I spoke to O2 customer services at the end of last month and they told me that it would be available in November. I was a little skeptical and bought the P3300 from Expansys on O2 as they're not offering the Trion yet. From past experience I wouldn't count on it.
I should have waited for the o2 version, been a big fan since my EXEC. Although I was under the impression that o2's relationship with HTC ended along with i-mates. Very happy to see a HTC phone coming from o2, but I wonder will there be more to come?
Long live ASUS
I believe the HTC relationship has been closed off (with regard to new handsets).
Expect new handsets to come from ASUS (i.e. ZInc, Graphite, etc.) due in Jan.
Apparently someone in O2 Customer Service said that their spanky looking Artemis version was being released on the 27th of this month.
27th release date is correct.
Cheers

Dude, Do ya know if this device is meant for the Asia market or not?
Coz I remembered here in Singapore, we had Dopod 818Pro instead of the Neo... which means to say only 1 brand will appear here, and that is Dopod.
Can only talk for UK, Germany, and Ireland, i suspect it will not be seen in Asia.

With reference to this Orbit review:
http://www.4winmobile.com/viewtopic.php?p=42938
There are 2 things that I'm puzzled:
1) Infrared Gate: IrDA 1.2, 115200bit/s (SIR/CIR)
I thought the Artemis doesn't have Irda? Is there a mistake in the review?
2) Bluetooth: Bluetooth 1.2
Pretty much everywhere else says its got BT2.0. This review mention that it has BT1.2.
WiFi support is present for both 802.11b and 802.11g connectivity, but unfortunately Bluetooth is still the older 1.2 specification and not the hoped for 2.0 which supports A2DP, etc.
That said Bluetooth connections to the Jabra BT500 headset have been clear and voice dialing is supported and works well.

LB, have ya tried A2DP on this device yet?
Thanks!
MasK,
Yes I have but only with the Samsung SBH 170 headset and it appears to work OK if a little limited in range.
Cheers

launch date
I think this is always the same with a new hardset from O2 but i've just got off the phone with o2 select support and they reckon it's not out till after Christmas :-(
The O2 website is saying its this month.
https://shop.o2.co.uk/ComingSoon
Worth noting though that different service providers within O2 will choose to stock it at different times, so maybe Select are next year.
the O2 Orbit would most probably be released in other parts of the world except asia coz its released bt Dopod instead
LB,
I know this sounds crazy.. but does the device have glabal warranty?
Secondly, do ya think it's available in the Netherlands? It does seem better looking and more sophisticated compared to the stock Artemis, and I'm wondering what my chances are in getting that into Asia. Thanks!
MasK,
The warranty will be valid if purchased from O2, i guess you are asking whether you can get it repaired if you take it outside the UK? I am not aware of any plans to sell the device in the Netherlands, alough it will be available in Germany.
Cheers
LB
So if O2 don't release on the 27th (this month), the same way I've moved last year from Orange I can move this year to T-Mobile which have the MDA III.
Didn't quite like the phone signal on the Exec anyway...but if they do release...and they have a similar price as T-Mobile, then it isn't worth the hassle. Can't wait till after Christmas...can you?
Well.. It's not abt waiting. In fact, I'm quite confident the new HTC devices (at least the Artemis) is gonna be released by end of this month during an IT exhibition. The thing is, the Orbit looks nicer than the original Artemis. It'll be real nice to have one here for the sake of uniqueness
Well, I in fact like the original as it's a bit...square.

Hmm.. yeah.. I do like squary designs.
It just seems that the Orbit has a better colour combination (something the Atom should have int he first place, instead of making it all black!)
Anyways, design-wise.. the Artemis is definitely better than the trinity, imho. At least they got out of the magician/prophet form factor.

Hi everyone!
I've just had my O2 customer services representative on the phone to confirm that next week I will have the XDA Orbit delivered to my office, so it seems that this time they have done they homework...
Can't wait to play with it!

English Version of HTC P3000 in the Netherlands?

Anybody know where I can get an English version of the HTC P3300 in the Netherlands?
T-Mobile is going to be offering the phones for free, but they are only in Dutch.
Is there a way to change the operating system on it without messing up the whole phone?
Suggest to have a look at the pdashop.nl or smartphoneshop.nl
They offer the HTC P3300 EN with T-Mobile Contact (which will also give you the benefits of cheap phones..)
Ooops, only the Tytn is one of the recent models in EN. But it is maybe an idea to contact them with the question, their support is quite good.
At expansys.nl they have it (but no contracts as far as I can see)
Thanks for the reply
pdashop.nl wants 198- Euro w/ the Flex 40 2 year contract from T-Mobile.
I would be able to get the phone for free in a couple of weeks with the same contract
I guess the next step is to figure out how to change language on it without making it a paper weight.

Agree, go with the Expansys.nl - no hassle!
Any success?

O2 Germany first to release WM6 device!!! Lets Get That ROM..

Just over a month ago, O2 Germany came clean and announced the future availability of the Xda terra, and now the carrier will forever hold the crown of being the first major provider to offer up and ship a Windows Mobile 6 Professional handset. Sure enough, O2's Germany webstore proudly displays the dashing mobile, lists the specs that you've already memorized, and mentions that it now includes a two-megapixel camera to boot. Of course, being first in line always comes at a premium, and from what we can gather through the (admittedly sketchy) translation, the lowest price point you'll be reaching is €279.99 ($382) bundled with a contract. Additionally, O2 lists the handset sans agreement for a stiff €519.99 ($710), but it looks like those will only be available from retail locations -- decisions, decisions.

Just another (sim)unlock thread

Hello,
i've got a problem with my t-mobile dash/mail and it isn't even here know
At first I've to say that i'm a schoolboy from germany so my english isn't perfect yet
Yesterday i bought an mda mail (the german version of the dash) for 80€ on ebay. It's brand new, so I'm quiete happy und lucky.
Thats the good thing. The bad is: It's nelocked on T-mobile. The main reason for which i bought the mda mail is that i wan't to go on the internet and use msn pocket. In Germany, t-mobile doesn't offer any good conditions but e-plus does. That's why I want to use an eplus Simcard.
Can you guys give me any clues to unlock my mda mail? I already read some topics on this board but i've already found some threads but i think most of the tipps aren't usefull for my german mda mail.
Of course i would prefer a free solution but i don't think that that is realistic. I just don't want to pay 100€ to t-mobile
So pleaseee help me

how about i trade you my unlocked t-mobile dash
i really like the look of the full black housing of the t-mobile mda.
can you give me a link ot the phone you purchased on ebay. i cant find them anywhere.
the only threads ive seen about unlocking are around here. i belive they should be useful even if its an german mda mail but hey my offer is till up for a trade
Well, normaly i would trade my mda mail on you but you life in america and i in germany. We would have to pay taxes and so on.
But this is how you can get an total black mda:
1) visit ebay.de
2) type in mda mail
3) switch to "smartphones" at the left side
4) Check the offers and write some friendly email. Please also mention why yout want to buy the mda (because many people from other countries betray on german ebay)
Wait a few weaks.
back to topic:
So there is no free solution? Can anybody calculate the key (except for tmobile)? How much is the unlock usually?
generally its about 30-50USD...so whatever that comes out to be in Germany Im not sure, but it IS worth the money to get it done, it will cost alot of course to get it up and running, but it increases the re-sell value of the phone tremendously, so when you upgrade to a new phone in a couple o' years, you can sell it as "unlocked" and get anywhere from 20-30% more for it just because of that!
'a couple of years' good joke I use to change my phones all two months
Do i get an unlockcode or do i have to unlock my phone with a software?
most of the times you just get a code, but in VERY rare occasions they will give you a program...which if that is the case, you MUST upload it to the forum here....share the love my man!!! No but seriously, if it does come with a program, you really should hold onto it and upload it somehwere, it would make MANY phone users VERY happy!
all right... Does someone on this board sells codes? I think 50$ are a lot for a few numbers
yup, you need to PM a member called "jwocky2001" he sells unlock codes for 25USD a piece ussually
sure the name is "jwockey2001"? Can't find him with the search engine...
