They have lots of stock, just in today!

Considering these are well over £600 on eBay, this is a billy bargain - just nabbed one for myself :lol: Got a 2GB SD card coming from the USA, muhahaha I really can't wait to get my hands on an English MDA PRO :lol:
No I don't work for or have anything to do with scancom, just can't contain my excitement at finding an in-stock HTC Universal for less than £500 brand new :lol: Enjoy everyone!

Spoke to T Mobile today and they can't actually offer me a free MDA Pro, but I never really expected them to, TBH. The unit is on their books at £400 (inc VAT) and they can knock off £150 and another £50 for an 18 month tariff. Well, that brings it bang in line with the XDA Exec on a 12 month tariff, but getting less data (albeit with rollover which, for me, pretty much makes them even). So, let's hope Orange show some sterling deals in the next week or two. And we're only 4 weeks from Vodafone's launch of the VPA IV...

I couldnt see any 3G data packages though, I wouldnt want a stunted MDA

Am I just dumb ?

Data is charged at GPRS rates on T-Mobile, so you can get the normal GPRS add-on packs for use with 3G, and 3G is enabled on all new T-Mobile SIM cards in the UK. Video calls are 15p/min to T-mob, or 50p/min x-net.

They're pretty expensive at the moment, especially for people like me who make few calls but use a LOT of data, but there are new tariffs (called Web-and-Walk, I think) being released tomorrow which are cheaper.

From memory, I think It'll be £32pm for 100 x-net minutes plus 40Mb data, with additional Mb's charged at £1 each.

Alternatively you could try and get a 3G Communication centre tarriff which includes no free minutes, but 100Mb for about £26pm. I think they only sell that in specialist centres, 'cause T-Mobile wouldn't let me switch my tarriff to the 3G communication centre one, when I called customer support. "We don't have access to any information on that tarriff" was what I was told, and they referred me to their specialist Oxford Street store...
