take a look at www.mphone.co.uk also

plus check www.expansys.com as it can sometimes work out cheaper than ordering from the .ie site

I had a look at some of the prices on both of these sites. Is there that much of a difference between Irish shops and these ones? Especially for SIM free stuff?

BTW who is the manufacturer of the O2 XDAII? Can you buy it elsewhere and configure it up for VF or O2?

there can still be a decent enough price difference at times, also availability of stock - so definitely worth shopping around

the XDA 2 is manufactured by a company called HTC, who supply the units to operators like O2 and T-Mobile with branding and customisations, but also to resellers who sell direct under their own brand like i-Mate and QTEK

p.s. have been using the i-Mate model, which has as a 'pure' Windows Mobile OS (i.e. without the Active interface and default configs etc like the XDA 2) - and came SIM-Free
