where to buy a QD without service for good price?

1 replies · 2,034 views · Started 15 October 2004

I'd like to pick up a QD here in the US, but I already have service with AT&T. I'm not going to switch to T-Mobile, which seems to be the only way to get a QD for less than $200: buy it and sign up for T-Mobile service.

Does this mean that I'm screwed out of buying a new QD at a reasonable price? (Where reasonable to me is around $100.)

My N3650 serves me well, so I could wait and buy a more functional Symbian phone... but I really had wanted a QD. I figured a gaming phone would be handy at times -- and I'd really like to use PicoDrive and GoBoy with proper input devices. 😊 Since I'm happy with my service, I don't want to change just to buy a QD.

I'm posting this in hopes that someone will point me to a store that I've missed.

I had the same issue also. I already had AT&T and I didnt want to switch to T-Mobile or some other provider. I went ahead and went to eBay and immediately got a QD for $150 with 4 games. The QD i got was configured to run Arena with T-Mobile but I was able to reconfigured it with mMode with a little tweaking...
