Hi ian

Seems like a very generous offer to me (who made you this offer?).

I took out a contract with O2 earlier this April. If offered similar deal i would jump to it.

I only wish that the new xda would be a lot lighter than the current model!!!! But you get an improved CPU + bluetooth. Thats enough improvement for me to be worth £100.

Cheers

were you offered it by 02

regards kevin beecher

Where can we buy them? I would jump at the chance

[Nossie]

lol £100 ?


hate to get folks hopes up but I read the MDA will be out for around $700+

XDAII for £100.... mmm more like £600

[ianlake]

I hate to reveal my sources (so i won't - but i will clarify my statement) but staff at certain retail outlets are offered contract mobiles including XDA for £100 as long as they take the contract offered. The member of part-time staff is a former student of mine (now at university) who comes to me for help and advice, and often passes on deals and useful information to me.

Where is this retail outlet then. I could get a temp job and get the XDA then quit!

[Nossie]

If you can get an XDA for that price then go for it ;)
If you can get an XDAII for that price the GO FOR IT lol

Doesnt matter about the contract... if your getting it for £100

Remember there is nothing to stop you going for that contract and then going down to their cheapest.

Personaly I doubt it is an XDAII ( no offence)

but if it is then jump at the chance to get it for £100... just make sure its all legit ;)

I know O2 were selling the old XDA at a discount (to staff) last year because they couldnt shift them fast enough... but I think £500 is a tad large a discount.

Good luck though,
if its genuine I'm jelous... if its not... I'll laff :) hehe :twisted:

Was that posted 3 times or is this irish whiskey stronger than I thought?

[Nossie]

nope only twice.... :twisted:

stop drinking that whiskey ! :P

hehe j/k

[kevin.beecher]

hi
whats wrong with irish whiskey

:lol:

[Nossie]

Hey I never said that lol...

:evil:

I dislike *real* whiskey anyways... Southern Comfort n coke ;) and JD is tollerable I guess lol

[ianlake]

not that i'm disappointed :( or anything but my deal (hah!) for an XDAII for £100 has fallen through. If anyone wants to try then find someone who works for a well known electrical retailer d-x--s for example and find out if they are willing to buy at staff discount a phone for you. d-x-n- staff get really good prices on mobile 'phones if they sign up for a specific network and contract.

:( :(

£75 a month. Ouch!
I would imagine that for most users you could get a cheaper deal over 12 months by paying a bit more up front.

Then again what do I know - I'm fortunate enough to get my Xda II entirely free of contract as part of my job :P

My company also do a deals with O2, Vodafone for staff to buy a phone for 50% off onetime, and 25% off rental and call for life. So is quite common. So £200 is an achievalble street price with a bit of haggling. They are going to recoup this in rental and calls so they are not too worried.
They think that anyone that buys an XDAII, IS GOING to use lots of MMS, GPRS,surfing etc, otherwise they'd have bought a sim free phone from another vendor.
