Name P4550 = TyTN II

Is this source right? If so, we have the new name for our beloved Kaiser

MDA Vario III
I spoke to a UK T-Mobile business customer services representative on Saturday morning about getting the Kaiser on my contract renewal - whilst checking a T-mobile system she said that the "MDA Vario III was not yet available" but that T-mobile would text me when it was. No indication of when that would be though

Rumours persist that it'll be the 8th September for T-Mobile UK.
They probably don't want to announce it too early because it might put people off upgrading until it comes out.
It's supposedly coming out as the T-Mobile Vario III, Vodafone v1615 and HTC TyTN II "among other names".
No hint as to when Vodafone will release it, and from their website, you can only get to the pocket PC phones through the business section...
I'm actually thinking I might switch from O2 to T-Mobile when my contract runs out, as T-Mobile have a much better data plan... (that said, having an "unlimited" data usage policy with a 1GB cap seems a bit dishonest to me, but then again, it's still better than anyone else I know of)

Spoke to a customer service rep at T-mob today, to tell them i want to wait a month to upgrade, so i can have the Kaiser.
Was told its being tested right now, and will be a mid September release, at a price of £280 upgrade. Obviously that price is very negotiable depending how much you spend a month. MDA Vario III will be its final name, on T-Mobile UK at least. My names on the list for one the day its released

The wife just had an MDA Touch delivered from T-Mobile UK (and very sleek it is too) but was told on the phone at the weekend that if she waited for a month the Vario III would be available.
That pretty much ties in perfectly with the 8th September. There must be an internal memo whizzing it's way around T-Mobile HQ, 'cause that date keeps cropping up.
She's more about having slim and girly phones than fully featured powerhouses though...

Kaiser on UK Networks?

Does anyone know when the Kaiser is going to be released on one of the UK networks as a subsidized device? My old Magician is getting REALLY long in the tooth now, and I can't afford £480 right now...
Scancom have it as pre-order for Orange Business, but doesn't give any dates...

I can't afford £480 either, but i just ordered one last night lol
I think it should be available on T-Mobile by the end of the month maybe? (As the MDA Vario III i'd imagine).
I'd hazard a guess that it'll be out on Orange maybe by the end of the year?

Problem is the design of the MDA Vario III looks really ugly (tacky silver finish) compared to HTC's original version of the Tytn II

Another reason why i chose the HTC over the T-Mobile variant

Confused i am

hi all
I am a bit confused ( dont take much these days) is the HTC TYTN II the Kaiser, as they look very similar and when i google it thats what i find..
also as anyone got one recently from t-mobile as i am due a upgrade and how much did they pay for it.
Cheers for the help

Yes the Kaiser was renamed the TyTN II. Not sure about your second question.

HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTn II / T-Mobile Vario III = all the same thing
(except the Vario looks cheap and nasty)

T-Mobile is a worldwide company and people from across that world read this forum. Which T-mobile are you talking about?

I'm referring to the UK variant.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but at the OP.

i am in the UK

As far as I know Kaiser is/was the name given by HTC during the development of the device. It is now sold as the HTC Tytn II. TMobile UK are selling/will be selling this as the MDAvario III. Vodaphone UK will also carry this device as V165 or something similar.All of these devices are manufactured by HTC. Most providers will have their own customised ROM installed. Currently we are unable to CID unlock these devices and so we are stuck with default provider ROMs. Eventually I am sure Pof or some other genius on here will work out how to CID unlock them and then the fun begins with our own customised ROMs.

Yep they are all Kaisers = generic name for all of them
TyTn II is the one sold under the HTC name and then as said above you have all the other variants as well.

Where can I buy the kaiser in Budapest, Hungary?

I need real store, not webstore
Thanks.

T-Mobile has already introduced the Vario III in the UK so I presume that you'll be able to get it from T-Mobile HU shortly.

Diamond and Touch Pro out on O2 UK when?

I have called them a few times and they have nothing on their product sheet for either of them. Does anyone have any other info to hand?

Can't tell you for the UK, but today the "O2 XDA Diamond" and the "O2 XDA Diamond Pro" variant was announced in Germany.
The "XDA Diamond" is already in stock, the "XDA Diamond Pro" is announced for late summer 2008 in Germany.
I guess the release date in the UK should not differ that much.

I am waiting for the O2 variant as well.
So far as I can tell it does not have the "diamond" back, which I think looks a bit rubbish!
Also, O2 have bundled Co-pilot SatNav with the O2 Orbits i and ii so I hope they will do similar with the XDA Diamond

I have ordered an unbranded one to replace my Tytn II. Don't wanna wait for O2 UK to release it, I did that with my Tytn II and they were far to slow. It was months after they released it in Germany. By the time I got it I felt like it wasn't new anymore. I'll get the Touch Pro as soon at it is released now, which will be middle of August - start of September.

don't know about O2, but the HTC branded Pro should be out sometime next month.
UK, Italy and Netherlands are supposed to get it first according to HTC helpline.

I know this iss an old thead but its out now on on my desk.
