for those who applied for smart/ globe promo and were told to wait a few days for approval.

my questions are:
1. have you claimed your unit yet? which unit?
2. which particular smart/globe center were you able to get your unit?
3. when were you able to get your unit?
4. when did you submit your application?

@steer - What a username mate With regards to some of your 'Qs' here . . . . . . Firstly, I guess you will start to fill-out applications once you're told to go to the Business Center where you made your reservation, meaning the unit is already available Secondly, you will have to bring all the pertinent documents in order for them to release your fone, like, billing statements - Meralco, PLDT and credit card statements + Valid ID - Driver's License/SSS etc.
Thirdly, as to the duration, I guess it will take weeks to a month for your handset to arrive for claiming

I got my Xda2 from Smart a week after I submitted my application at the Smart Tower. Though it was an individual subscription, it was handled by a Corporate account officer.

I only submitted copies of the ff:
1. Driver's license
2. Credit Card
3. Credit card billing statement (3 months)

wow, you guys are lucky.... i've also heard that smart alabang has already been releasing units....
damnit..... i'll never go to smart binondo again... that place seem to be last in receiving their allocated units...
i've applied my xda2 way before the promo began and had been approved a week before the promo began and i still have not received my xda2...
i'm beginning to think that the center stinks...

I thought they've had adequate supply of XDA2's.

Don't fret... since you're approved already, you might want to call them up and ask about your application, diba?

you'd get your units faster when you apply at globe, under a week for their promo.
smart..... i've ordered mine way before the promo period, and it has now been a month with no xda2 to show.... i wonder how many years i have to wait.... celphones might be obsolete by the time i get mine.

@steer - I guess you better make a 'personal appearance' at the Business Center where you've applied for a new XDA Making fone calls will not totally solve your problem here as they will just make you 'hope' for your fone's arrival - for more Give them an ultimatum as well, no fone within a week, will just mean - termination of your application form Unless, of course if you are still willing to wait for it's release, say, errr . . . 2 years

actually, i was contemplating on whether to use this xda2 or just sell it and wait for the xda3.
but the xda3 has nothing worth waiting for. i personally feel that the slide out keyboard just adds bulk and wont significantly help me txt while driving. The built it wifi is something to think about but the bottom line is, wifi hasnt blossomed here in the philippines yet.
windows mobile 2003 2nd ed's only advantage is the landscape mode.
So, minus the 3 added specs, you basically just have the xda2 on your hand. I think i'd just skip the xda3 and wait for xda5 just in time when my contract expires.

There is a Wi-Fi solution out there for pocket pcs in an SD card... its probably going to cost you around 7k++.

I agree with the MDA or XDA III, the slide out thingy is not good IMO, with its layout/size of keys.
