Default Cheapest way to get a Orbit 2 in germany?

Does anybody know a less expensive way to get an Orbit 2 in Germany?
eBay-Anbieter

If you just throw away the sim-card and do not forget to cancel the contract it will cost you 189€+240€(24x10€ for the Genion S)=429€.

Default get TC from O2 online shop

And how about O2 online shop? I am newbie in this, but it seems that you can get a phone for 99,99 Euros. Yes, it is said about a contract, but it seems that they will delivery the phone itself for this price. I am writing "it seems", because I have never tired this. Maybe someone did?
And I suppose that you will need to make SIM unlock to use such phone.

Default HTC Cruis-Polaris -- XDA Orbit 2
Hi
I have bought the O2 XDA Orbit 2 - this is the same hardware but in an other case. I love this case it is like the HTC touch (elf).
You can buy it in the onlineshops in Germany for 499,-- Euro incl. Original TOMTOM 6.32 with Europe Alps Card+Carholder+12V Caradapter. Free an [B][U]without locks."

Default contract or not contract ;)

Yes, we can buy orbit II from O2 online shop without a contract for 500 Euros.
But my question is - can we purchase it WITH contract (pay 99 Euros) and then just do not use our contract? I think that I got an answer by myself - NO =(( Although I didn't go through all purchasing steps, but you need to specify you ID, your address, you bank account info. So, I suggest that after purchasing O2 will charge your bank account regardless of wether you are using phone or not.

I don't think that you would be able to get the handset for 99euro and then not use or cancel the contract. As far as I know, at least with some UK operators u have to pay a penalty, which is the full cost of the monthly line rental until the agreed end of the contract.

Hi,

you can buy the Xda orbit2 from O2 online shop or several other distributers with or without contract. It is not simlocked. The cheapest way is to find the cheapest distributer, that sells the Xda orbit2 with a Genion S with handy contract, if you don´t want to use the contract. You can get it for 99 € with Genion L, but you have to pay the monthly basic fee for this contract (so if you don´t use the included call minutes, it´s not the cheapest way).

Best regards

Starwalker
