Got through a long conversation with level 5 [email protected] T-mobile and he indicated the T-Mobile release is due in 2-3 weeks.
They had some significant issues with a patch they had for the announced release scheduled for this week and removed the page from their site because they are getting "hundreds" of calls per day.
:roll:
Those wieners! But at least they're working on it.
While it would be nice for them to get the thing out the door right away, I think we'll all be happier if they get it right and make us wait a couple of weeks
...(I don't know about hundredS of calls a day, but i know i put in a good 99 per day) 8)
I'm having a problem with my phone - called today and T-Mobile is supposed to be sending out a replacement (Oops, guess I'll have to revert to the 2002 OS before I return this one!)
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what comes on the new one. I'm pretty sure it'll be PPC 2002, but who knows maybe it'll have 2003 on there - though I doubt it.

I would also be surprised as they are probably sending you a replacement that was 'loaded' a few weeks before now. They probably have hundreds of PPCs with 2002 and I really doubt that they will reload them with the new OS, they will just let the new owner do that.
Sorry. But, hey, maybe we are wrong?
J
I'm not too concerned about what OS it has on it. Not like upgrading it is difficult. But something updated would be nice just for the "ooh!" factor. :-D
I actually just went through a replacement this week with T-Mobile. The phone I eventually received had PPC2002 on it. Beware though - the first replacement phone I received from them was a cheapo Motorola, so they sent the completely wrong phone. I had to order another one and wait a few more days til I received the correct replacement.
Gb.
I work for T-Mo and noticed that we are to sell through our existing inventory and ordering is supposed to cease for the current PocketPc due to lack of supply. I'm sure that what is really going on is that they want us to sell through the models with PPC2002 while they get the final product of WM2003 ready to ship. Makes sense... out with the old.. in with the new..
oh for GOD's sake... lets just call it windows 2004!!!
there is only one month left! i dont want to be in 2004 thinkin im using last year's technology!
i demand 2004 :wink:

I was just thinking the exact same ****......& since its takin so long 4 this bug free upgrade :roll: ... i want the RS to be flawless.......
..........or :twisted: i :twisted: might :twisted: just :twisted: have :twisted: to :twisted: go :twisted: to :twisted: AT&T...lol
i didnt know we can say *Ship High In Transit* here
good to know, good to know : :twisted:
hey! anyone wants 128MB sd card (new) for $45? i got 3
I am pretty sure the RS will still have many bugs for us to work around. It is the nature of the beast.
I am waiting for information on the new device t-mobile will be launching with WM2003, 802.11 and Bluetooth "capabilities" ( I alwasy worry when they say that!)
They say I'll be out by the end out the month..?
No prices yet though
The dummy is available in the shops and wasnt as big as I was expecting..
Yay, I like Orange. I played with the Demo in their shop, its actualy a good dummy phone, close to the real thing.
Also, Go to the website and get yourself a £1 payg sim.
Then spend £1 on ALL YOU CAN EAT gprs for the day.
Its in their catalogue, you can buy £4 for 4meg for the month, or £1 a day for all you want. Thats the best gprs deal ive seen anywhere, including most of the contracts.
£1 a day for all day!? sounds interesting!
thanks for the info.

Last time i rang them (which has been quite a lot over the last few weeks) they said it would be November when it was coming out..... getting so impatient now, been holding off getting a new phone for months to get this!
spoke to oramge in paddington station, and there is an offer where you get 1gig a month fo 3 month, which is great, but then after that you are down to 25 megs for 25 quid or something. they weren't able to offer anything in between.
The 1 gig for three months is a standard offer on all new contracts, its to get you "hooked" on data so they can then sell you loads.
They do sell bundles on their 'data' tarifs, and not too bad, about £25 for 65meg i think.
guys iv been with orange for donkey years and get my devices free on an upgrade (pda's etc) but this time im going to get the o2 exec pro, i know i know same spec etc but the o2 device (to me) just looks great!!!
whats your opinions on the looks for the devices jasjar the m5000 and the rest what looks the best??
p.s orange upgrades told me today it could be 18 oct if were lucky or nov, but thats orange for ya, always last to provide
as far as looks go,
The VPA IV i havent seen in person but it looks plain white to me
not that appealing, it just looks like a gameboy ds, not professional at all
The MDA Pro looks smart with the (almost) aluminium appearance
not the best looking phone of the lot but theres worse (see above)
The SPV M5000 has a gunmetal finish
i guess it can be appealing, its not as good looking as the MDA in my opinion
but they are close
to me though its a tie between the Jasjar and the XDA Exec in terms of sheer appearance, the black simply looks far more professional, and in my opinion far less of a toy (like the VPA), the only thing that clinches it between the 2 is the blue backlight on the keys of the XDA Exec. It's all down to preferance in the end, but that's mine
quiltfish << NICE JIBE :twisted: at the m2000, mate i couldnt agree more! lol :lol: i dont need a gun to defend my self iv got the m2000
just orded myo2 exec online cant wait till i get my hands on it!
I received a phone call today from a company (I can't remember their name) offering me a Free upgrade phone if I stay with Orange.
When I mentioned that I was only interested in the SPV M5000, he looked it up on his system and said that it had failed the testing by Orange and won't be available until February.
He didn't try to sell me an alternative, so I don't believe he was saying it to get me to choose another phone.
I hope he has got it wrong, but who knows. (Orange CS certainly don't) :?
I rang orange this afternoon and they told me it was just finishing the testing and would be ready for the end of the month!
I'm sure these people just pick a phrase out of a hat and say whatever it says!
If Orange mess about much more, i'll give up my 7 year relationship with them and move on..... I never can understand why they are always the last to release new phones!
drummer
>>> thats sales guys talking outa his ass. They will be releasing it as th chap here inoranges store has the device and let me have a play with it- the only issue he reported is that bcauses Oranges 3g Coverage is so poor customers will mainly be using 2g unless they are in a strong signal area(which are limited)but i guess they have to prove to the market that as always they are the last ones to bring out devices-mate iv been with orange contract for 7 donkey years and even though iwork for Vdafone I kept my main contractwith Orange as you know, you get used to having something around for so long(ABIT LIKE THE MISSES :lol: -- scrap that o shel kick my head in! :shock:
and my bills on average of 70-100 a month so all my upgrades i get for free (m2000) so i calld them and asked what they can do as my upgrades due in march they said they will let me upgrade in dec the earliset and they will give me the m5000 free- BUT i cant wait that long an as i prefar the look of the XDA-exec iv just orded that with O2 online and when i get my m5000 im floging it for a healthy profit
and guys they are going to offer you the 18 month contracts when you try to upgrade as being the best thing since a micro wave! but becarefull-catches : you can not upgrade for 18 months! and your phones warrenty period isonly for 12 months! soon though 12 month contrats will be phased out. Vodfone strated itandORangeo2 have followed suit.

I had a nice prepaid subscription with an upstarting provider back when I lived in Oslo. Free gprs/mms without any limitations whatsoever. My counter stopped on 4gigs after being online for a year but I think that's probably an error on the programme's side. Or?

In a couple of months my contract with 02 comes to an end and I'm looking to move to T-Mobile (that unlimited data tariff calls to me!)
Anyway - Since nothing seems to have come of the supposed replacement (HTC Omni) this quarter I'm starting to consider my options. So far the following have come to me:
1) Carry my EXEC onto a new contract and save some money. Downside is the phone is a bit bulky and I'd prefer something a bit smaller, also lack of HDPSA (although how can you miss something you never had...?
2) Get the MDA Vario 2 (HTC TyTN) - far as I can tell I'd gain HDPSA and loose the VGA screen and a fair chunk of the size. Performance-wise is more or less a bust.
3) Get $SomeOtherPhone (Nokia n95 is interesting me here) sell the Exec and use the money to buy a WM5 PDA for the things I like using WM5 for (GPS and eBook reading are the two biggies) - Fujitsu Loox n560 would be a probable candidate here.
Any thoughts on the options, or can you suggest something better?

My situation exactly.....what I did.
Took the FREE M3100 (TyTn) and new plan to save money. I am now evaluating it as to whether I want to replace my Universal or keep it as a spare!!
To be honest so far the universal screen and keyboard are the main things I think I am going to have difficulty living without. However the form factor of universal I definately wont miss!!
Still cant have everything.

Oh yeah, forgot one of the downsides of the Vario 2 is the hideous colour scheme - the Orange M3100 looks much cooler
In a couple of month's T-Mobile might have something else that you'll be interested in.
It's best to wait until your time is up before choosing your next phone.

Oh I know, I'm not making any definite plan til the time is upon me, this is more of an "I'm bored at work and kicking ideas around" kinda thing
TBH though there is *nothing* in the HTC pipeline that I've seen that appeals to me - although to be fair the same can be said of everyone else too, the N95 is the only thing I know to be coming that looks interesting to me.
o2 do an unlimited data tarrif - they just don't shout about it!
it's called unlimited blackberry roaming or something like that.
£10/month :¬D

My Hermes has died on me (long story; it's not recoverable without a $600 USD new system board)...
My question is... should I wait for "the next thing" from HTC, or should I get another TyTN/Hermes. I loved my phone, and would love to have another one, but the Hermes has been out for almost a year now, and I assume HTC is about to start releasing new phones.
The Trinity is a nice phone ... other than not having a keyboard (wtf?).
Basically -- anyone know if the "next generation" TyTN is coming out soon, with a faster CPU and *prays* GPS?
I don't want to wait too long - I've fallen back to my Motorola L6, and everytime I look at it I feel like I'm going to cry.

Oh wow.. *drools* That's a beautiful phone. Interesting how they got rid of the slider, too.
My problem will be having the patience to wait until June-July. :-D
Of course, I waited five months for the TyTN to become available here in the US, so I guess I can wait three months for the Kaiser.
Thanks!
Of course if you are really patient you will wait 9 months and the price will have dropped as well But that's far too sensible for all of us here I'm sure!!
Mike
HTC Kaiser - when?
I really want this phone. GPS + 3g = say goodbye to my Wizard.
Question is - the estimated US release date is June 2007. For those of you who have followed HTC for a while - how accurate do you think this is? Will it be available unlocked online before I can buy it from Cingular? How long will it take for Cingular to start selling it after it is officially released? (Assuming they're planning to sell it at all)
Cheers.....

I'm pretty sure Cingular will have it, because they've been testing HSUPA over the past few months -- and the Kaiser is one of the first (and only) ones that has been announced that will have it. It will probably end up replacing the 8525.
Going by the Hermes/TyTN schedule... the TyTN was announced to be released in June 2006. It didn't show up in the US until August, but those were imported models. A lot of the early models had some big problems (screen, keyboard, etc). They really started to roll into the US in October.
Cingular started testing the 8525 in September 2006. They didn't launch it until December (I think?). They had to tweak the HSDPA network to handle the TyTN/8525.
I bet those dates will be around the same for this new phone. Cingular/AT&T will be testing out the HSUPA network with this thing..
Orange can sell the HD with an exclusive deal in the UK starting first week of November untill years end......
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/orange-helps-itself-to-british-exclusive-on-touch-hd/
Worst network and it's exclusive for 3 months. So I'll have to wait for another 3 months I so want to upgrade but no good phone and the phone I want is on the wrong network.

...but not me
250mb browsing not cool. But it is only exclusive till the end of the year as it would be stupid for HTC to just keep it on Orange.
Orange would have to pay me to stay with them. Even here in the well-populated south east of England their network is the worst I've ever used. There's no way I'll get another phone with them so the HD will either come to me sim-free from someone like Expansys or I'll wait until the new year until I can get it from O2, who have the best tariff deals at the moment and whose network was excellent when I used my Exec.
Orange - if you're reading this, SORT IT OUT.
O2 might not release this phone on their networks, it wouldnt be the first time they havent released HTC phones, they have no reason to release every Phone HTC make, especially if its going to directly compete with something they are already selling, id hedge my bets by renewing my contract, getting the most expencive phone on the market and then sell it, then buy the Touch HD for full price else where.
How will this affect Sweden? Will we have to wait extra for the phone, or will it be released as normal?
I would have a bet that O2 won't be getting the HD ever, they have already listed the diamond and pro in their new magazine with no sign from the HD, too much direct comp for the iphone. As for Orange i have heard that they plan a few substantial changes in the way they operate within the coming months?
Dont know what that means but since i'm with them it'll def be interesting. I have been waiting for the touch pro for ages and it hasn't materialised on orange yet, so i think we deserve the HD!
I'm with orange because I have an old outdated data package which is well worth the money for me, i have be getting fed up waiting for orange to get the experia or the touch pro, so it makes a nice change for orange to ge this first.
Can you pre order with orange?
bollocks! getting fed u now, g1 t-mobile, hd orange, might just end up with an omnia after all **** marketing [email protected]
This is fecking annoying. I'm due an upgrade on both O2 and Vodafone and neither of them are doing this or anything that's a worthy sucessor to my N95. I suppose I'll just have to wait until the new year and hope that one or the other (preferably Vodafone) get this in.
