Want a Kaiser on T-Mobile (UK), got a cunning plan - advice please

OK, so I still have a blue angel, drooling over a kaiser, and my contract with O2 was up last week.
Thinking T-Mobile (for web n walk) but from what I hear the styling isnt as nice as the HTC one, plus my experiences with the O2 version of the XDA IIs ROMs left me a little cold.
So, ideally I want a non-branded Kaiser.
Well, if I take up a contract with T-Mobile, and take no phone, I am losing out, so I thought I would get a phone from them and sell it unused. I was looking and I can get a nokia 6300 for free with the tariff I want and it seems like I could get it unlocked easy enough or do it myself and flog it new, maybe get 100 quid for it? Any suggestions as to whether this would work or if I could shift an unlocked T-Mobile branded nokia 6300 on ebay for a decent rate. Also suggestions as to a better phone to use.
The other question is whether when I hooked the sim-free kaiser up to t-mobile, I would be able to get web n walk and all the other services set up OK. Don't want the T-Mobile front screen etc, just as long as everything works. I would imagine that cooking roms and stuff for it would be much easier as it was a vanilla phone, I am just worried about making the operator-specific settings...
Any other advice welcomed, ie another provider to go with who will subsidise me on the phone and who do an all-you-can-eat bandwidth package for a decent rate.
The only non-flexible bit is that it just *has* to be a kaiser

i did something similar a few years ago, look on tmob for all the phones you can get for free and the look on ebay's finished auctions search for the phone that seems to sell for the highest amount (it is generally the newest phones). You will still be out of pocket doing this rather than just waiting a few weeks on your current contract until tmob release the kaiser.
you will be able to get web'n'walk sms/mms settings fine, but probably won't be able to access their other services like mobile tv very easily

cool, nice to know it can work out.
I think I may have found a better phone to do it with - a sony k800i
There's a few going for over 300 quid at the mo on ebay.
I can get that free with the 15 quid a month contract, that's approaching the price of a kaiser
Not really worried about the mobile TV and stuff like that, am a geek, will do it myself - slingbox or mythtv something

OK, maybe I was smoking crack before I went to lunch or something, but there were multiple K800is on ebay listed at over 300 quid. I come back, check the link and it ended for 99.
WTF?? Maybe it was in euros or lira or something.

Im also going to use this cunning plan!
But I think your best options for a free phone to sell is either the Nokia N95 or the Blackberry Pearl.
Also, ensure T Mobile puts you on a 12 month contract as opposed to a 18 month one.
Agreed that the design of the MDA Vario III looks pants.

you can't get a free N95 on 12mo contract, and on an 18mo contract, you have to go up to the 45quid a mo contract to get it free - it's 250quid on the 15/mo contract I am going to get. The k800i or similar looks to be the phone that is going for the most on ebay that you can get for free with the 15/mo contract.
Am prolly gonna go with the 18mo contract as it is only actually 30quid more for 6 months more contract and you get more minutes / texts
Plus then I can get the web n walk for 7.50 and am still only paying a total of 22.50 a month

Okay. I talked T Mobile in throwing in a free N95, how much do you think it would sell for on ebay? I have no idea of the worth of these Nokias

If its unlocked, probably £250+
Don't get caught though

Here in the NL you could just go to any telecom shop and get any phone they hold in comination to any subscribtion with any provider. Of course these telecom shops are not affiliated with any particular network and usually the discount you get for the phone are approx 50 euros less then T-Mobile for example but it is worth 50 euros to have an unbranded and unlocket phone...(this what I am doing actually right now via a website)
Of course if you get Branded t-mobile device you get a free Micro SD card with it and the best is the guarantee for the duration of your contract. Plus here in the NL if you need to send it for a repair it goes much quicker then via HTC... T-Mobile send you prestamped & preaddressed envelope (a special one) which you use to send in your device. I haad to use this service on my Vario II when I got allignment issues and I had my phone back fixed after 4 business days. Alternatively you can bring your phone to a t-mobile shop and they even offer you a temporary replacement phone (a junky one) but then it takes longer as it has to go throught their main depot.
I am right now ordering a TyTn II via my resellers website with T-Mobile Flex 40 renewal + PITP the phone costs me including shipment 125 Euros...

Well I see two on ebay currently bidding at £544 and £655 but I saw phones yesterday going for silly amounts and then went back to a more reasonable amount. Maybe bids are getting rejected or someone is playing around.
What tariff did you have to go on to get one chucked in for free??

You can do this in the UK, but it seems that T-mobile do not allow this unless the phone is branded or approved or something. Annoying as tmob is the only one doing a flat rate 3G bandwidth package for a reasonable amount (£7.50 pm or £1 a day) I am going to explore this avenue myself, but it seems to me that you can get way more subsidy by getting a whole phone and selling it.

T Mobile wont permit this in the UK because they like to attach branded phones to their contracts, these days banning services such as MSN messenger (which the Vario III will have disabled by default)

Is MSN etc blocked on web n walk now? I heard before that it was technically against the terms, but it was possible.
What about other stuff? I would ideally like to set up some kind of media centre at home and have it pull any mp3s / videos etc I like over the net.
What about VPN? Could I maybe VPN to my home and route everything inside a tunnel, thus denying tmob the ability to see what I am transferring?

I tried selling a phone a while ago on eBay. From past auctions I was expecting to sell my phone for £200 but at the last minute someone bid £350. The PayPal details said "Kate from Richmond" (an expensive area in London) had bought the phone. It was then that I received an email from someone in Nigeria asking me to send it to Lagos... they promised £50 extra for P&P but it was obviously a scam. They started sending through spoofed PayPal receipts claiming to have paid money into my account (even though my PayPal account said differently) and in the end they got quite aggressive and threatened to report me to eBay.
Just thought I'd warn you

OK, that makes sense.
LOL, one of those N95s just finished @ £1131 !
Normal bidding, then silly bids from "Bidder 1", "Bidder 2" etc...
Looks like the 419 business is getting too much heat so the Lads from Lagos have switched to a new tack.

I have dealt with these scammers a many a time on ebay. They totally ruin things for all.

Its not blocked. Its frowned upon. However T Mobile are now disabling use of it via firmware, hence one of the reasons why the Vario III is being delayed.

So guys, if I sell a new unopened T Mobile N95 for £250, you think its reasonable? Or could I push for more £££s? That Kaiser isnt cheap!

To clarify on Web n Walk...
On the normal (£7.50) tariff, only surfing and email is allowed.
On the Web n Walk Plus (£12.50) tariff, everything except VOIP is allowed.
I will probably go with the £7.50 one and if they moan, go on to the £12.50 one

Dunno, might only get £200. Most of the ones over £200 seem to be tampered with...

What you might be better of doing is browsing the net and seeing if you can get 1 on a 12 month free contract with a cheepish phone and then the money u save on the contract put with selling the cheaper phone might get u somewhere...

@goolpone: It also depends on where do you come from: Africa, Asia, Usa, Europe? ;-)

geaerally? eBay my friend.

I'm italian, is there any body who want to sell his/her s730?.. i need 2 devices for $500/$520.. sameone?..

I found many people selling it through "second hand" stores in our country. Try to do the same with google focused on your country area with keywords / sell HTC s730 price / of course in your native language (sell, price).

So you want someone to sell you 2 phones that retail for around $500-550 new for the price of one? The European model has only been out for a few months and AFAIK not picked up by networks yet.
I think you need to either set your price higher or wait for network upgrades to filter on the market. It's when people get 'free' or heavily subsidised phones they don't need that second-hand deals start becoming attractive.
But good luck!

Sure hope thats each, unless someone got theirs for free no one would sell two for what they payed for one, and if it was a pre - prod unit...

but there are not carreer like vodafone, o2, cingular that sell it for a contract? and sameone that coul resell it? i know it's possible and yet done

Did you try my recommendation? I found the second hand phones (one month old = warranty) on 500 dollars level in CZ. I think that in your country you will find the same. There are many people disillusioned by RAM, ATI drivers, GPS lacks.

For a new phone such as this, you'd perhaps be better off trying on ebay

Do not forget that price on ebay is sometimes "penalized" by paying also the TAX and VAT to your custom.

My S730 is brandnew and im already so fed up with it.
Im going to sell it on ebay in the comming days.
I will also post the link to the auction on this forum for you to use.

It means that you are not satisfied by s730 and you will switch to different producer? As f.e. jocky.d? If yes, I have some favorites.

share your favorites then roomish....as I too am getting annoyed with my S730 and ebay is calling

It is so pitty - S730 could be so cool smartphone.
Well my favorites:
Asus P750 - although it has only 64MB - the free memory is about 20MB, the phone is handy sized
iPAQ 614c - very cheap, little bigger
I-mate 8502 - qwerty keyboard
All models are on the market only few days.

I've only had this thing since last week and I think I'm going to return it. The memory leak is horrible, not to mention there isn't enough of it to begin with. If I browse to a non-mobile url using IE, the browser closes since there isn't enough memory! The keyboard is slow and if I type fast, misses letters and I have to go back. A few times I have placed calls and they route through the speaker phone even though I haven't activated it and the entire phone locks up. Don't buy this phone, it sucks. I should have bought a Tytn II, at least then I would have working GPS.

I was after something a little smaller but with features.....
I liked the size of my old C600 but obviously you get more the bigger you get :s
and does anyone want to buy an S730?

so keep an eye and depending if you are willing to pay postage check out other international ebays.

I hope that was a face-to-face sale, or else I wouldn't be suprised if you just lost $85 in addition to your stolen Wizard. Craigslist is notorious for mail scams and a lot riskier than ebay for mail items.

3 Times Over
My phone got stolen 3 times last year (mugged each time). First was a Motorolla MPx200 (2am on the streets, stupid stupid stupid). Second was iMate SP5 (midday, but in the dodgiest part of town) and third was my iMate JAM (once again, midday, but relatively safe area). Cops caught up with the JAM pretty easily - it was probably the only JAM with WM5 in South Africa . It was already blacklisted though: oh well.
The first two devices were free (my boet works at M$ so he has regular throwaways) and the last only cost me R(rand) 1500 from a chap at work. My new K-JAM was a bit more expensive, but very well worth it!!! Got TNT running on it, and I'm kinda grateful that the first 3 devices got stolen - I am so happy with the K-JAM.
South Africa, the country of crime. Bout time I wrote a client to track the device and bake it in a ROM. I wonder what APIs google maps mobile uses to find out what tower you are at: would be a kicker tool and much more complicated than the average mugger can circumvent.

Selling my HTC Touch Diamond

I have had this phone for about 2 days now. Absolutely LOVE the phone. Too bad the speaker sucks and the mic mediocre, compared to my BlackBerry 8320. I cannot find a way to boost audio. After some research, I found that this is how the HTC Diamond comes from factory, and this is the standard for Pocket PC Windows Mobile. Unacceptable by me.
So here I am. Selling my beloved Diamond after 2 days. Oh well. I thought switching from BlackBerry after 7 years of loyalty would be awesome, but not at all.
I am in Houston, TX
Bought if from Plemix.com for $677 with a discount code.
I'll sell it for $677 to cover my cost. I'll include free FedEx ground shipping.
I'll leave the Garmin Mobile XT GPS software (sooo cooool) that I put on this phone yesterday.
Any takers?

would you really give a person you don'rt know and can't trace that sort of money
3 posts and thats it......maybe fishy...may be not...i wouldn't risk it
but thats me

That's why people use Google Checkout or PayPal, grandpa

Would you consider exchanging with an almost new n95-8gb?

I might be -- live in PA -- but I'm concerned about whether I'll have any reception here -- how has your GSM and UMTS been in TX?

I have to agree with that PayPal statement as well.
PayPal is the devil himself (or herself. More likely to be herself).
And as far as reception in TX goes, I have perfect reception in Houston. No luck on UMTS because TMO doesn't support 3G anywhere except NYC for now. It does have a 1700MHz option, which is quite amazing, but ofcourse, doesn't mean anything in TX.

2 days? If I were you, I'll be returning the unit back to where I've bought it from. There is be a policy where customers are able to return a purchase in 1 month period, right?

I would, except I bought it from Plemix (Hong Kong)
