I might be able to get my hands on some XDA2s at a reasonable price to be able to sell them on to you at a attractive price. - i will be finding out tommorrow.
I'd be willing to sell them at £430.00 + £6 P&P.
These are a one off price and NO contract is nessecary.
They are locked to the O2 UK network but unlocking sofware will probably be out soon?. UK only
Let me know if you are interested. First come first served, either PM or on here I will take the time of the submission first and place you on the reservations list.
I am giving you guys first shout since I know you all love your XDA's.If not they will go on eBay a few days after I get them
This handset is £599.99 on The Link website and £582.83 on Uplands website.
You might want to hold off buying them if they are that expensive as i think you will have trouble reselling them, you dont want to get stuck with 4 of them and be unable to sell them
Expansys is selling the Qtek 2020 (XDA2) for only £399.95 brand new including 12 months warranty and its unlocked for any network
Isn't the XDA2s better than the XDA2?
So for £30.00 more isn't it a good deal u think?
hi guys
i am getting a xda2s on contract from 02 select for 119.99. i have asked this price to be checked twice and as its on the notes of my account i am getting it fot this price. they have none in stock till next monday.
regards kevin
your bills must be high to be with o2 select, they reward their customers by giving lower prices on upgrades and all sort of other benefits
Looks like the supplier is not going to sell me them now at the price I was going to get them for so this thread is dead.
We can do them at that price if anyone is interested but the P&P is £9.95 nextday Royal mail special delivery.
They are in stock right now.

Cheap XDA2s
Hi,
I have read some post and I agree with there staff being crap.
But they are also quite gullable 8) ... any Im excpecting my xd2s tomo for £49.99! on o2 600 but my line rental is also half price!
You really have to blag............
I'm just about to get a new phone as my contract is up with O2 and they wont offer me any upgrades at a reasonable price, and i was just about to order a three handset (Motorola E1000),
But if you can geta IIs for £49.99 and half price line rental, then that would suit me perfectly,
Can you let me know where you are getting it from ?
Cheers
XDA IIs for sale
Any one interested in a brand new O2 XDA IIs which has never been used. I bought it for myself as a Xmas present but after reading the manual found I won`t be using most the functions. too much for me. So I`m selling it sim free at £399 + £8.99 P&P special delivery. My email is blue_sea at hotmail.co.uk
Where can i buy Rhodium without Contract in UK. I buy HTC touch HD without contract at Carphone before but just wonder if i can buy Rhodium there too ^^. My house is quite far from it so i dont have time to go there to ask -_-
Not sure where the best buy is at the moment
Check places like Devicewire, Expansys, Clove, and Handtec I suspect they will be cheaper than Carphone Warehouse. There was a thread here about prices, but not sure if it's still active.
Good Luck!

Hit google with the UK only radio button. There's 1000+1 places to buy from. I got mine from launch at Amazon.co.uk
The good things from carphone is u can go there to check if there is something like dead pixel on the fone before make decisions.
Last time when i bought my HD there it took me only 450 GBP for the fone while i checked at clove it was around 500 GBP -_-.
#3: I know how to search man -_-
Try eBay.
oh man ebay is not different from the other online site. If u buy it and u get smt like dead pixel on the screen u have to send it back -_-
I got mine from http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/ £434 on voda pay2go. For some reason it was cheaper than simfree. Phone is not branded or locked as using with my 3 sim.
That's a pretty good deal from mpd ... only problem I'd have with buying from them is that I've heard nightmare stories about people having probs with the phone, and mpd won't have anything to do with them...
For Sale Touch Pro 2 - Vodafone Branded
I currently got a touch pro 2 on vodafone as an upgrade but the wife had already bought me one offline.
So it is up for grabs for £375 plus £5.00 to cover royal mail registered post.
cash to be paid ia bank transfer or paypal. If paypal used then buyer to pay paypal charges.
How about handtech which advertise on xda forum. I found it quite cheap only 438 with simfree
the problem with a lot of uk sites these days is their quality control. i always buy sim free and hate it when the "new" phone arrives in an opened box, factory screen protector half off etc.. they do a **** job of putting it all back in the box after "checking contents".
i used to buy from Play but their prices aren't competitve any more and no confirmed despatch date.
try King of Gadgets. all their stuff is factory sealed and there's a really good bloke over the phone who wont muck you about.
good luck.

Thank u very much ^^ . And about handtec ? Do u have any info about them ?
no experience sorry. but I'm always weary of low prices. I think with them you still have to pay a fair amount for next day delivery. over the last few years I've learnt the hard way there's no such thing as a bargain
i've just chatted with them online and they told me that i don't have to pay any fee for nextday delivery but the problem for the dead pixel is. HTC only accepts to replace fone with more than 3 deadpixels -_- .
Handtec sell brand new and sealed phones but they are gray imports meaning no automatic network settings and detection and probably some warranty issues. This was the experience I had when I bought a Kaiser from them and when I returned it and asked for a UK spec, they simply sent the same phone back to me in a UK spec box (lol). I returned it and did a charge back when they started trying to act funny. Devicewire sell UK spec phones at the most competitive prices in my opinion.
Seriously boss. You can buy from anyone of these sellers and if you're not happy, dead pixel or otherwise then you can send it back with no obligation citing distance selling act. The common vendors like expansys, amazon etc are all good for it. Pick someone whom you trust and pull the trigger!
thank you very much. Maybe i will try with clove.co.uk kkkk
Hi!
First of all, I hope I'm in the right forum...
If this is not the right forum for this thread, please move it.
I want to buy a white One X (int.) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Someone know where I can buy it there? I want a store that will let me open the device, and check there are no build issues, and a low price. (If I'm right, I should get a 16% tax refund because I'm a tourist from outside EU)
Thanks for helpers!
The phonehouse should have unbranded phones and proper DOA services, but they are expensive...
i got lost in there site... didn't find the one x on the search.
someone knows more stores?
if you are staying in Amsterdam for a few days, order it online. there aren't many shops with the hox in stock except maybe as mentioned the phonehouse but they are expensive. I ordered mine from midi media, cheapest in the Netherlands (only e513 including delivery) but the phone is Vodafone branded .
check this site: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/
i would be there for only 3 days.
but it will be in 2 month, you don't think it will be in stock?
EDIT: does midimedia has a store in Amsterdam? if so, what is it? (i cant read their site, and google translate dont want to translate it )

I went looking for one this week and the shops I wanted to buy from (ie. were not much more expensive than the best internet deals) did not have any in stock. Maybe you can place an order and check out the phone. I can recommend mycom, I bought many product from them, tried them out, decided I did not like those products and got my money back without hassles (even after opening all the packaging)

i cant order from the internet to israel, because when it will get here ill have to pay at least 16% tax.
and midimedia is much cheaper...
have it delivered to your address in amsterdam
also the new government in holland (already dubbed the butt **** coalition (sorry mods, that's what the new coalition is dubbed)) decided to raise VAT from a whopping 19% to an unbelievable 21% , so you will likely have to pay even more. Why not get the device back home?
(edit: vat probably won't matter a lot because you might get a refund, okay than preorder it from mycom to get it from the store of your choosing)
bought my white One-X at Belcompany in Eindhoven, no problems with the phone, build date 28 march 2012
in the stores, they're always more expansive than online
First of all our vat is currently 19% rather than 16% as mentioned. I got mine from marktplaats.nl (like Craigslist), brand new in an unopened box from a guy that got it with his corporate renewal for €400, not kidding. You'll have to go pick it up at someone's private house though and be prepared for some haggling.
Make sure you call ahead and ask if the seller has the receipt that states the imei. If it doesn't, leave it as it's likely stolen. You might still be able to get the vat back at the port of exit if the receipt is recent enough (most people that get a renewal put the phone on marktplaats the same day they get it). Make sure the receipt doesn't state the buyer's name, which it mostly doesn't.
Good luck. I get all my phones this way, no problems so far. We're a pretty decent and friendly people ;-)

if there is any problem with the device, who gives me the warranty? HTC? i mean if i have yellow spot or something like that, i need to send the device to HTC?
Hi everyone ! Currently I have a Xperia S, it's a good phone but it's a little bit old.
So I wanted to buy a Xperia Z1 Compact but it's prices are to high for me, and I found this on Ebay :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Sony-Xperia-...?pt=FR_Téléphones_mobiles&hash=item338cfa9163
The problems are :
- It's ebay (I never bought anything on this website
- It's a phone delivered from Honk Hong (I live i France and I don't know if the phone will work with French 3G/4G)
Can you help me ? I would be so...helpfull !
Thanks !
I live in the USA and bought my z1 compact on ebay. I believe it is from hong kong because of the charger that came with it. It works fine for my carrier. Before you buy it you need to look up your carrier's radio frequencies and compare them to what the z1c uses.
I bought mine from imobilephonex. Check them out. They're pretty good with shipping and customs. Plus they go through paypal as we'll for buyer protection
I have bought mine from ebay. It was my first time too. I recommend paying using paypal as you will get paypal buyer protection along with ebay's protection.
Check the rating of the seller. Reliable sellers will have around 99% positive feedback.
I PMed you the one I bought. You can use that as an example. (Not yet allowed to post links :crying
The model I got was a Hongkong verision. And the seller included Fedex priority upgrade and a North American charger as well as a car charger for free :laugh:
Hope this helps.
Best Regards.
Thanks for your replies !
I have an other question, what about manufacturer's warranty ? I live in European Union and here we have a 2 years warranty for all the products we buy from manufacturer !
I forgot that but it's really important !

This is the warranty card that came with my phone. I can't tell if my phone would be under warranty but I would assume the answer is no
So here's my long story short - I've placed 2 orders now for a grey P8000 and still I have no phone. My original order was on October 3rd...
Both are Chinese/HK vendors (Focal Price & iGOGO) showing stock but weeks pass and nothing happens except generic responses to my queries about delays in receiving new stock.
Eventually I just cancel my orders (unfortunately manually via PayPal claims due to a lack of cooperation from the vendors).
Now I know these vendors can be a little shady with little or no customer service but I now wonder should I just give up? It seems there's no easy way for me to get this phone (at least at the RRP)?
I've since pre-ordered the Umi Iron Pro via BangGood but I'm now doubting whether this is a good move due to a lack of development, no open sources and no 800Mhz LTE for the UK. However the design is nice, twin flash, full metal casing, better cameras, OTG support and slimmer(!) bezels.
Would welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have. Such a shame as I really thought I'd have a new gadget to tinker with by now!
Try UK seller.
Although the prices are low there waiting time plus the chance of vat hit put me of Chinese sellers.Took a punt on Ebay UK seller,a £115.99 bid excepted on Friday morning for a gold one.
Royal Mail site entered tracking number and states waiting arrival to them at 9 am yesterday,so fingers crossed should be here by Thursday.
So with the price at the moment £113.81 on Focalprice can not see the benifit of buying there,what if its faulty etc.
Hi,
why not buy it in the manufacturers shop?
I bought my phone @ "elephone DOT hk" (sorry, I am not allowed to post a link here as a fairly new user) and didn't have any problem except the price was a bit higher but no problems with delivery etc.

Thanks for replying. Can I ask the name of your eBay seller? I'm tempted by the gold metal and then buying a black battery cover off AliExpress to tone down the carbon fibre effect!

I've seen this link before: http://www.elephone.hk/online.htm
Due to the numerous links, I personally found it a bit hard to differentiate between authorised resellers, third-parties and the 'official' store.
Hi,
not 100% sure that this is the official store, but from my research it looked good and as I have received my phone I guess they aren't bad
Have a look at Dealsmachine.com. Just got mine from them. Took just one week from ordering to receive in Canada via DHL and their customs valuation was very positive in my favour !

The carbon fibre effect is actually really nice! The black cover is probably more grey but it would soften the look a bit
Well I've now cancelled my Umi Iron Pro pre-order - can anyone recommend a UK-based eBay seller?
I've used Geekbuying (based in China) on a number of occasions to purchase phones and tablets. In each case the process has been hassle free with the goods despatched around a week from the order point (assuming in stock). I'm also in UK and like the fact that the small delay in despatch is because this retailer checks the item works and configured it for the UK before sending the item out. I've always used the very cheap DHL option which means once despatched the item is with me within 3 days with full tracking on route.
I don't have any links to this company but have found them reliable.

I used Everbuying.net. I ordered in August and the phone only arrived in October, so it was at least 2 months wait. I assume they have stock now, as the phone went on special not long ago.
As mentioned above I used Everbuying with no problems and fast delivery. Just did a quick check and is on sale for less than 100.00 GBP - $149.99 US which is what I paid. Fast dispatch on gold (3-5 days) but longer on other colours (4-10 days). I assume they got a decent sized shipment and are now blowing it out. I was a little leery of them but have no complaints at all and my import cost was about 8% including DHL brokerage fee even though we have 12% tax so that gives an idea of how they valued it for customs purposes.

Thanks - I bought the grey model yesterday from their sister seller (same contact details plus also listed in Hayes) and they've emailed me this morning to say the grey is out of stock and can only offer the gold!
I've accepted the gold but would quite like a free case or something to make up for it! I do wonder if I've just been extremely unlucky so far...

The grey ones are damn nice but my partner wanted gold and have ordered the gold clock cover from Banggood.
If getting a silicon case it would hardly be noticable but then you lose the lovely look, but then you could buy a grey cover to replace the gold one.
Just checked on Elephone site and grey one for P7000 is £8.56 so P8000 one should be available soon?
Gearbest was great with me, and a friend of mine also bought one from Gearbest which arrived successfully. They had some stock issues initially but were honest about it, and my patience paid off. They usually dispatch from China after 5 days and send it through Express postage. From dispatch, it arrived within 7 days by courier. I paid $159.99 (£109 at the time), and after two months with the device, its fantastic and was worth the wait - the stock ROM was perfectly usable with a few bugs, but the Eragon ROM has completely sorted these. Knowing what I know now, ensuring a strong developer community should be a very high priority when buying a china phone.

Got a message this morning to say it's been dispatched with a Royal Mail tracking number but it's not showing on their system yet.
There's obviously a massive supply problem with the grey model and it wouldn't surprise me if these 3rd party sellers are expecting new deliveries of stock from Elephone that just keep on getting delayed?
I paid £110 and have been promised a £3(!) refund to cover the inconvenience
I'm considering buying the black battery cover though:

I think the gold looks decent. It's for the wife who is going to slap a purple silicone TPU on it anyway! If she complains then she can have the grey cover from my p8000!
