O2 shops + accessories

[mrg2003]

My local O2 shop had all bits except backpack. Charge/usb lead was £9.99. Aluminum case was £19.99. backpack (not in stock was £89.99). I bought case + stylii + lead. got £8 discount.

The girl in my local O2 shop looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for a screen protector.

haha.. its happens to me once in O2 shop......

As a manager of an O2 store I can help you out if you want to know what you can and can't get - to avoid the alien looks!

To be fair (due to, ahem, "budgets") a lot of store staff are part-time (bain of my life!) and don't get enough time to train on normal stuff let alone xdas!

O2 stores don't stock screen protectors (which is why the girl wouldn't know what you were on about!)...I have asked but to no avail.

I got a couple from the Dixons store along the road for nowt! (LOL)

Just PM me if you've got a question - but obviously I can't go delving into your account, data protection and all that!

Irnbrulad - this is a generous offer and I think you will have a queue of people baging on your door (if you let us know where it is!). I have been after the folding keyboard for xda 2 for months - any chance on letting us know where and when and how much?

Thanks again!

Ha ha, think I'm a few miles away from the majority of you guys! (north of edinburgh). As for the folding keyboard, we have yet to be given a confirmed date. There is a thumb-pad out which kinda looks like the keyboard on the blackberry device. Have a look at www.my-xda.com and follow the accessories link, then keyboards.

Hope this helps.

PS. prices are there for both keyboards too, you may be able to order the folding keyboard online, but we have yet to recieve them instore (that said, there are some stores that get priority for XDA stuff)

Thanks for taking the time to comment - if only more 02 staff were like you.

I went ot my local O2 store on saturday to buy an XDA II and was told they have none in stock and have no idea when they will be getting any. They wrote down my number on a scrap of cardboard to phone me when they get some stock - I'm not holding my breath!

They also have a lack of accessories. I would be really interested in the backpack because I do a lot of presentations and carrying everything around with me would be a great time saver - this is no-where to be found even on the net - does it actually exist?

Is it possible to get a list of O2 stores that have priority of XDA parts?

Thanks

Matt

Expansion pack first. It does exsist - not sure how many though! I've emailed someone i know in logistics to see if they can be ordered into stores. also asked which have priority. have a look on www.my-xda.com as there are details there.

Are you near london, if so let me know.

The xdaII has been out of stock for a short time at the warehouse. If you still want one pm me with your nearest big towns and i'll check the current stock

 

[Irnbrulad]

Got an answer for you. They haven't been launched yet - "hopefully in the next few weeks" is the response i got. Get back to me in a couple of weeks and i'll check again - i'll forget otherwise!

 

[kevc]

Any update to when these will be available in the uk? An Aus firm has just got them in stock so cant be far away.

 

[apatrick]

I was wondering if there was any more news on the full size keyboard (can you tell I am keen!)

Thanks again - angus

[Irnbrulad]

still no change! sorry guys

 

[greenterp]

How about fully intergrated in car kits? I had one for my old phone and am really missing not having one for the XDA2 and would be first in the queue for one when they are released. I have emailed O2 but they have not responded. :roll:

 

[Irnbrulad]

the release date is still pending i'm afraid

Mate, if you refer to the due date of April 16th... that would be the very first time that EXPANSYS knows anything about their ability to deliver devices :lol: I am almost prepared to accept any bet that the release date will be any possible date except for April 16th 8)
