on another note.... I hope to hell its not the same price as the original XDA was when it first came out.

I dont care what anyone says... nothing of that spec is worth £500 !!!!

<hopes O2 are reading>

If they released it for what the XDA is selling for (£300 w/ contract?) then I'd definetly go for it but not much above...

I wonder how much they will sell the XDA for when the XDAII comes out?

I bet that they stop selling the xda original. After all What extra revenue can they get from it? The new XDA II will have MMS because of the integrated camera. This is what sll the providers want. They make money from sms, gprs, mms, voice etc. That is what they are really after.

Wait and see what package they get together. £50 p/m. inclusive minutes, data, sms, mms etc... This is how they make their money...

Yeah thats 6-700 pounds UK.
Trouble is... they probably will sell it for that price :( with a contract on top of that !!!

Bummer - coz I'm really enjoying my XDA at the moment (got it for 150 pounds second hand) and would love the extra power. Have thought aboput going for a Toshiba e750 and a bluetooth phone - bummer on the pockets... but what else to do eh...

We'll have to sit tight and wait I guess....

What are the chances of being able to buy the base unit from HTC (without paying for the software) and *ahem* flash it with an XDA-developers ROM - or has that never been an option ??

i think i will wait until they reduce the price of the xda. at least i won't be a beta tester :wink:

regarding your question, HTC doesn't sell units to end customers. you'll only get original unflashed units, if you buy a few thousand pieces and put your own logo on it :wink:

The thing is that o2 had an agreement with the manufacturer to have some exclusivity in UK and possibly Germany for the original XDA. This is why T-Mobile have not been able to sell the MDA in UK for last two years. When there is no competition, o2 can afford to charge 300 pound +

However, the xdaII will have competition with the MDAII, the same device, but T-Mobile have got around the exclusivity issue. Hence the prices will reflect competition.

Found today an article in the internet professionell magazine. They are writing, that the XDA II will have a price of 399 Euro and will be released about one month before the mda II will do.
But they also write, that the mda II will be released at the end of october.
Question is just in which year.... :lol:
