That is a bargain even for the spares.
Looks like a good price but how much is that in US dollars?
Cheers - worth a punt for £47 (inc vat & p&p)
Useful for spare if nowt else!

Qman, almost 2 dollars to the pound at the moment.

Thanks and its still a good deal at 2 dollars to the pound in my book!
Given how many more people have broken displays than anything else, suspect this pile to be no different in composition to every one else's dead-piles: mostly broken screens, sometimes other stuff swapped out as well.
I rang the company this morning and asked if any of them were actually working. The response, after checking, was that they weren't and they were selling them for breaking / parts.
Bought one - got it delivered - non working - pins bent - boxed with all the gubbins (synch, power etc.) got the back off, straightend the pins...pins snapped a bit so have to synch via infrared but can still charge the battery...working XDA1 for £47 - lovely
cheers
not saying the rest of you will be this lucky!!!
Nice one Roger, glad the link got a result.
Sold Out !!!!!
Sadly the broken XDA's are no longer in stock and probably never will be again after speaking to the company

i was stupid enough to lean on a pool table while playin and crack my xda 2i screen...what do you reckon is the easiest and the cheapest way to fix it?
would appreciate your help...
O2 quote me around £180 which is a lot of money and me being a student cant really afford to pay that much
Mmmmm I've looked around and cant see anyway of fixing that.
You could get the backpack and then connect to a monitor(but then you lose the whole idea of portability.
Thats a shame, pity it was not stolen then you could have claimed off of your insurance. You do have insurance, either phone specific or house contents?
i have an xda2 screen for sale? looking for £50, im not sure if it will fit the xda21 i would ahe thought it would? but best to ask someone who actaully knows! if your interested pm me
i contacted imate repair [email protected] about £100 it seems to be the most sensible price also the fact that fixing it wont damage the garantee...
any experience with SBE?
Broken XDA2i Screen ...
Hi M4Mad!
I'm in the same situation as you as well! was doing some work out in the garage and only when I took my xda2i out to make a call did I see that something had smacked the screen! GRRRRR!!!
Have you found anywhere that does a screen replacement at all? I dropped an email to proporta.com as they have an 'XDA' listing for 55 squid plus 15 to fit but they emailed me back and said it's only for the XDA1.
Times like this you wish you had taken out that insurance policy isn't it!!
Where is the imate repair centre you mention? I guess £100 isn't so bad, If you could let me know that'd be great!
Cheers!

broken screen
Hi the M4Mad!
Well, i've been scrabbling around a bit looking for somewhere to fix my screen with mixed results
Went to an O2 store- they can fix it, within a week, no problemo
£210 !!
Found a site apexlaptops.co.uk - Called em up and a lady said they can fix it,
£205!!
Next up was Proporta - like i mentioned before they can't fix it.
I'll try the number you've put here tommorow and see who they are and how much they want.
Else, I have to decide what to do. for the moment I've dug out my spare Nokia 8890 and it still works brilliantly!
i'll pop up on this post my 'findings' tommorow!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!
Hmm... As I know, I saw Qtek 2020(i) XDA II displays for sale apox. 240 USD... 400 USD for repair is too big price. In our city it is about 300 USD.
XDA IIi Screen
I've just had mine replaced (after I slammed the car boot lid on it!!!) - It cost me £160 including the on/off switch which I also broke the day before when I dropped it (I was having a a bad week). The switch repair alone is normally £70!!
I had the repair done through the O2 repair center.
The least you can do is send it off for a quote through O2 - if nothing else, thats free.
XDA IIi Screen
Well well!
I've been doing a bit of research and the cheapest I can seem to find anything is here
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/
Xda2i screens for $199 USD fitted ! so in Sterling thats at around £120 ish! not too bad huh! obviously the postage costs would add to that, i'd estimate around £20 there and £20 back (Ive just sold my other XDA2i to a US buyer and insured postage was around £20)
qube62 says he/she got it fixed for £160. The O2 repair centre I went to said £210 for a replacement XDA2i screen, So im thinking maybe qube62 only had a smashed 'touchscreen' and not a 'smashed LCD' !!
- I'll try just sending it off through O2 and 'see' if they fix mine for like £160!
Else I suppose I could just take my xda2i to the US on my next visit and see if they can fix it whilst im there!
if that doesnt come about - then I think i'll claim off my home insurance!
Oh and just to rub salt into my wound.. my dam aluminium xda2i case arrived today !!!! typical !!!
Dennis! West London UK!!
i got a quote from this place for 160 n they said they will send me a package thing so i could put it in there n send it out to them...
but im not too sure about 160...thas too much i might jus stick to my 3100 for now n allow xda...
Hey everyone
What is your worst experience with someone?
Mine is, funnily enough, related to an XDA that I bought off eBay...
I sold my XDA Orbit 1 to a friend of mine for £167
After I had collected a decent amount of money, I found an XDA Orbit 2 on eBay for £257.50 including postage. Auction said brand new factory sealed xda orbit 2, with pouch, charger, box, co pilot 7, and it listed all the features for the xda orbit 2. Seller had 100% positive feedback (115) and was from Essex. Seemed pretty decent.
Bought the item...a week later. No emails, no item. Had to call their house multiple times and everytime I would call, someone else would answer and I could never get to speak to the seller (he was always at 'work').
Eventually I get an email from the seller....'sorry I couldn't send the item any sooner, my account had somehow messed up and I needed to reset the password. Item will be sent tommorow'.
Great! So I should be expecting the item soon. I go to school next day, and when I get picked up to go home I ask 'did anything come in the post for me today?'. The reply I got was: 'Yes, a parcel'. YES! The orbit 2 has finally come! After about 1 and a half weeks of waiting its finally here!
I rush home banging my knee on the way in (im soo anxious!). I look past the door and see a big, brown parcel addressed to me. I grab it, run to the living room and rip the packaging to shreads!
I have removed all the packaging, and take the box...I turn it over only too see it say: 'XDA Orbit' with the picture of the XDA Orbit 1 on it. Thats right, the seller sent me an XDA Orbit 1 and not the XDA Orbit 2! He sent me a Artemis and not a Polaris! He didn't even include the memory card for the CoPilot 7, or the USB cable for the PDA, handsfree kit, pouch, etc. All missing!
Nnooo!!! I paid £250.00 for something thats worth £120.00!
I sent the seller an email and got a reply soon after. He said sorry just return the item if your not happy with it.
Posted it off today, so I should be expecting the refund.
Oh well, it happens and it will happen to everyone some day!
So whats your worst experience with someone? I bet people will mention alot of stuff to do with eBay aswell!
NEVER buy anything off ebay. people have recieved fake chinese mp3/mp4 players instead of ipod nano.
when you see unexpectedly low price, just don't bother yourself.
i bought my athena from here, £260 with blocked imei, great price at the time, as i alredy had a phone for calling...
paid through paypal, and it came a day later by special delivery.
When I sold mine, i made the mistake of selling to italy, and it didnt arrive. it might well have arrived but he said it didnt, and the post offiice said i couldnt post a phone recorded to italy, so no tracking number, and me with no money and no athena
but i guess it wasnt really an ebay prob...
Also, i bought a psp from ebay when I was like 13, and the guy stole 75 quid off me... luckily i got some back, but not all of it.
In fairness, ebay generally is good, i picked up a 5m gold plated 2 rca to 3.5mm jack for 2 quic including postage...
so its if you wana take the risk on big things...

i bought a faulty hdd TV recorder second hand which didn't work from an eBay seller.

hmm i wudnt totaly agree i bourt my HTC TyTN off ebay ages ago for £100 quid....i was convinced it was going to be rubbish probly with bustted buttons and stuff hanging off it u know the drill....
....i was completly wrong it came like it was brand new! id say the only thing wrong was that it didnt come with earphones and it had a small dent in top left but it is unnoticeable
but i do agree it is very hard to get cheap stuff without it being fake!
Tell me about it...
I've had loads of problems with eBay, not just the one with the XDA.
Once I bought a remote controlled BB tank from a business seller. He was advertising it as 'BRAND NEW'.
When it came, it was opened, the BB pellets were scattered all over the box, clearly second hand, when I tried to use it, it literally broke after 10 seconds! Someone tried glueing the wheel back on as it had broke!
It was so crap aswell, it didn't even fire that good! The remote control sometimes didn't work aswell!
Another time I bought a 1/6 scale electric rc car. It was massive but after literally 12 hours of charging the battery it would only run for 15 minutes - It would considerably slow down after the 3 minutes! The rest of the 12 minutes it would be slow and then after that it wouldn't run at all!
I was driving it and it skidded on some ice, and smashed into little pieces after it hit a parked car! Lmao as funny as it seems now, it was kinda annoying back in the time!
Another time I bought a slingshot which snapped after a month
I bought some rifle mounts for my air rifle scope which were advertised as 30mm, but when they came they were too big!
And just now I have found out that a 2Gb memory card I bought is fake!
I don't even do much transactions on eBay aswell! I've only bought about 30 items from there!
Anyway the moral of the short stories are...don't spend any more than £15.00 when buying from eBay! That way when it messes up you won't kick yourself as hard!
Also you should know, don't SELL on eBay either. You get stupid buyers who will buy the item, leave you good feedback and then a month or two later issue a chargeback on their credit card! People even try and scam you to get your items!
By the way I have just noticed, I have exessively used the exclamation mark in this post (!) LOL
Up for sale is a gently used AT&T Tilt. I've owned it for around 6 months now and have loved every minute of it...selling because there are many options I still don't use so I am downgrading a little.
Slider is still strong as ever, only a couple of minor blemishes as seen in the pics. (scratch on bottom left of battery cover & silver over camera area worn off a little)
INCLUDES: AT&T Tilt phone, USB Cord, Wall Charger and I am throwing in a fresh 4gb MicroSDHC card...plenty of space for adding songs!
This phone has been security unlocked (Spl 3.56) and the ROM can be set to whatever you choose without issue. Current ROM (PDACornerUltimate v11) includes Manilla2d which is a great, finger-friendly menu slider...also utilizing WM6.1.
Asking $300
Let me know if you have any questions.

First and only bump...if no takers/offers then it is going on eBay.
To be honest, I dont think you are going to get many hits with a price point of $300. You can get a refurb from ATT ( literally like new ) for $99.
Goodluck selling it though
You're right...$99 with a 2yr contract on AT&T's network.
Thank you for the luck.

Are you interested in buying it ? if not what does it matter what he sells it for or wants for it ? I have seen many of these threads , and the OP generally gets what he wants for it, me I prefer that the value stay up on the Tilts..
$300 is not unreasonable

Unfortunately they are like baseball cards, they are only worth as much as someone will pay you for it. Or as much as someone can buy it for somewhere else ,
On the AT$T website last week , you could get a ( new ) refurb Tilt , with a ninety day warranty for free, with a new contract.
Amazon is now giving you $50 to buy a Tilt: http://tiltmobility.com/2008/12/new-fuze-only-149-and-they-pay-you-50-to-buy-a-tilt/
Im in the UK.
Im willing to sell it for 100 quid + Delivery. The phone needs a new back cover as some of the clips are broken but the phone is nearly new as it was replaced under insurance after an issue (Probabbly dropped it to many times!!) unfortunatly the battery and cover does not get replaced.
Thread closed.
As you've opened another thread to sell your phone, I'm closing this one.

First of all I would like to say wow! What an amazing forum. Best I've seen on anything relating to Winmo.
After seeing so much advancement at Opal development (including the recent rom for 6.5), I began thinking of getting one myself. The cheapest one I found was
$191 at gadget circle
then
$219 at TimTechs
and
$226 at Plemix
Are these deal too good to be true? Anyone have any past experience with these dealers?
Thanks!
Here in Italy I buyed it for € 250,00 about two months ago
man i wish i would have seen this sooner. i just ordered mine, 236 shipped.
oh well, just my luck. but it will be here soon so oh well.
plemix takes 10 dollars off of orders if you use the youtube10 redemtion code.
ive never really looked, or heard of gadget circle (guess i should book mark it). i have heard of timtechs
shipping prices at gadget circle dont seem right, less than 6 dollars? i dont know about that
I ordered my phone from Timtechs. It came to $250 with shipping. I ordered it very early Tuesday morning like 1 am. I got it today at 10am it was the fastest shipping ever. The phone came just as expected the box was a lil' beat up but i think that is fedex and they gave me the CDs and manuals for the touch 3G but that fine really didn't need them anyway. What they don't tell you is that it ships from Hong Kong. I wasn't till i got the fedex tracking did i see where it came from. On their site it said it was based in DE but i got my phone all the same so I don't care. Overall I have been very happy with my experience with them, and I probably would/going to order from them again. And they even gave me a niffy Timtechs sack YAY!
PS I think gadgetcircle and timtechs are the same company. their website look very similar and customer service description are the exact same. and to get a phone shipped to the US I had to order more than $400 on gadgetciricle
Sorry about that skaroger. And thanks for the tip
Good to hear that ginronin. Thanks for the input as well.
its all good man, set to be here tomorrow. and i ordered thursday.
191 is a hell of a price, especially if its true. i wouldnt pass up on that if you were thinking of purchasing one.
i already got a bunch of software ready to install when i get my phone
