Is the XDA IQ available on O2 in the UK?

[Mellon]

I have seen some UK posts relating to the IQ, but I can't see it on the o2.shop site and when I rang O2 "customer services" they said it had been discontinued 2 weeks ago. He went on to put the phone down on me when I enquired further, leading me to suspect he may have have been being 'creative' with the facts?

Has anyone got one through O2 (I'm guessing you can only get an IQ through O2?) and if so, how much was it?

I got an IQ last month for free with o2 25 at £6pcm on a 18mth contract. AFAIK the IQ is still being sold.

Do you mind me asking how you got it? I don't even seem to be able to get O2 to acknowledge the existence of it, or am I looking in the wrong place (http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/)?

I have just taken delivery of an IQ.
I like......
Used to have previous incarnations of XDA2 = XDA2s = XDA2i.
Only downside at this stage is it does not sync with Notes!!!
Just need to get it unlocked...
I got it from O2 - been a business customer for some time.
follow this link http://xda.o2.co.uk/existingContact.aspx.
It does specify a business user - however who/what defines a business???

Re notes, I've found SmartphoneNotes from Syncdata to be a good app.

See my notes on the apps I consider essentialhere (http://www.4winmobile.com/software-installed-on-my-new-iq-vt2795.html)

There is no way to order the device except through o2 C/S at present.

Also, it is already SIM unlocked. Haven't been able to get it App unlocked yet though, but this apparently is more to do with the AKU 2.0 update than anything else.

Thanks to both of you for your help :D
