Today at noon UK time I received my TyTN II. Oh wait, let's rephrase that. I was so impatient that I went and picked it up from the local DHL facility ;-)
I had an e-mail from the courier yesterday to say that they'd be delivering mine today. Unfortunately I'm in meetings all day, so there was no way I could be at home to take delivery.
Took all my effort to change the delivery date to tomorrow, so now I'm going to be 24 hours behind everyone else :-(
Happy Kaiser-ing to everyone who got theirs today though. I'm off to play with my dumb old Hermes for the last time....!
"I'm off to play with my dumb old Hermes for the last time....!"
Awee - be nice to the Hermes - it was good to you whilst it lasted
R
mine will arrive in 10 hours ...
i ordered one from devicewire.com to hongkong day b4 yesterday and just tracked the DHL and called, they will deliver my phone in 10 hours!!!
Would i be right in thinking that if i 'need' this phone ASAP, i'm looking at no less than £450?

Yep, and that will be excluding shipping charges ...
Sooooooooooooo tempted to get my credit card and order one now, from cloves.co.uk lol
Any dutchies on this board who got one from within the netherlands already...?
Man, this waiting is driving me crazy...
Since i ordered a UK version with our distributor, they should be able to deliver this week i hope
I'm checking DHL tracking for updates every 5 minutes. I must stop. I have work to do. I'm getting behind. Just checked again, no change. What if it's delayed? Then I may not get it on Friday, will have to wait all weekend. Lord help me. Is it really that much better than the TyTN I anyway?
OMFG I JUST ORDERED ONE
£469 >.< i just wont check my bank account for awhile lol
Yo Wiz
Wiz - Notice you have a pretty powerful arsenal of devices:
HTC X7500 WM6
HTC TyTN II WM6
Treo 750 WM6
Which one have PROs and CONs ?
Does the TyTN II hold its own ?

Very true. And it'll be passed to the wife now, so it'll continue to do a good job for us. (Sorry Hermes!)

Where did you order it from in the UK? Seems the cheapest so far....
hey, has anyone bought their Kaiser from the xda store? I searched, but only found one person. just wondering before i bought it, because 715 dollars seems to be the lowest deal i could find.
me Too
I am also wondering if there are any other people alive on this forum that have purchased the kaiser from the XDA Store.
If anyone out there has purchased one, can you please fill us in on some of the items that have been included in you package? does it include the case and Tom Tom like some of the other kasiers people have bought online?
Any form of reply would be happily accepted.
PLZ
I am planning on ordering this evening. I sent some emails with questions and they were very responsive to my questions. I can tell you it includes the tomtom taster per the email.
d
thanks for the reply, but i was wondering if anyone actually already ordered from xda and received their phone.
i ordered mine but paid with paypal echeck, the funds will clear tomorrow... and i got the overnight shipping, so i should have it friday at the latest... oh and the club membership is totally worth it... it saved me 15% ($120usd) on the price....
I guess moderator pulls a lot of weight huh? J/K
d
Well I broke down and ordered just now. $120.00 discount and I took 2nd day express so hoping for Friday. Feels good to take the pluge......
d
I ordered via the website as well. I chose the free shipping route as I'm not far from Michigan (Chicago suburbs). I'm hoping it's here by Friday.
I also sent several emails and received responses very fast. Been a great experience overall and the price can't be beat.

I placed my order yesterday (Monday). By email I was informed that they would be receiving the Kaiser on Tuesday but were not sure it would ship by Tuesday. So far, no email confirming shipment. Hopefully will ship Wednesday and arrive Thursday as I paid for next day.
They did confirm that it ships with Tom Tom (sans Maps).
When I ordered today it showed in stock.

Well I ordered mine on Sunday, they then stated that it was possibly going to ship on Wednesday do to too a miss step by their supplier. We doesn't look like it shipped today. Several emails went back an fourth between Richard in customer service. I am starting too wonder if they are being truthful, I think maybe time to cancel and request refund
Oh it is still showing as in stock on the web site

you have to buy the xda discount membership, and then you'll receive 15 percent off of the 799. so it'll come out to be around 719 now, because the xda membership went up five dollars.
for those considering this deal, it might not be a bad idea to wait. A lot of us have ordered, but I don't think any of us have received anything yet.
I don't like that they are still showing in stock and shipping within 24 hours. I never received an email that they were out of stock and it's starting to get fishy...
-Mc
EDIT: wouldn't you know it... Like 1 hour after posting this, I get an email that my order shipped. HURRY U.P.S. MAN, HURRY!!!
I havent received anything either so I have sent an email and will update when I receive a response. Richard has always responded

Earlier today I was emailed a Fedex tracking number, so hopefully the package will show up tomorrow. I will let you know
I've had a succession of pocket PCs since the ipaq 5450 right through to the Vario II and today I took delivery of the Vario III.
I installed Tomtom, google maps, live search and memory map. They all work perfectly.
Am I doing something wrong ?
mine came too - am farting about with it now!
Got mine at 2pm this afternoon - this is how it looks now:
hi patcooke,
how did you get the screen to look like that !!
Ofiaich ...
same as little_rock - farting about! - and I see that, like me, you also live in the people's republic of yorkshire
Hi patcooke!
OK, I kept the big clock, so better try to learn to fart around a bit more..
Yes, I live in the Republic of Yorkshire too, East side, but of Emerald Isle descent.
Ofiaich
What carrier did your Vario II come by? Mine should have came yesterday :-(
hmmm I think it was mercury or jaguar or some sh!t... it wasnt dhl i know that much... I'll look later when i get hom - i till got the bag.. did you check with your neighbours to see if it is therE?
I had them send it to my works so I wouldn't miss it. The T-mobile sales guy mentioned UPS but when I pounced on him yesterday he said they don't usually do phones.

Mine (T-mobile) came by Lynx parcel delivery due to the Royal Mail Strike - I ordered the phone last Friday at about 6pm and the phone arrived Monday. So they are still trying to do next day delivery..
I ordered mine on Monday, no joy yet. Supposed to arrive by Lynx yesterday. Phone T-Mobile, they basically said sorry, tough luck it'll turn up eventually.

I ordered mine Tuesday & was promised next-day delivery, but it was late, arriving at 10:30am this morning Worth the wait though
T-Mobile store
I went into the T-Mobile store last night to get one, after speaking with a rep on Sunday and being told it would be £80 on an 18 month tariff at £32.50p/m (with the £5 p/m discount they're currently running). The checked the price again when I got there, and they said on that tariff it should be £139.99, but since the other guy had told me £80 they'd do it for that. Then when they got to the checkout and it asked for payment, it was only £49.99!
Very happy indeed!!! There's a few things I'm not sure about tho, like I can't find any settings for HSDPA, no network wizard thing included, and strangely no satnav software (even tho T-Mobile point out it has built-in GPS) and they didn't even offer me any!
Has anyone ordered a Diamond from these people? If so did you receive it ok.
I ordered mine on Tuesday at 3pm with express delivery. I received my dispatch notice and a recorded delivery tracking number on Wednesday morning. As I normally get 1st Class post the day after I was expecting it to arrive Thursday but it hasn't, neither did it arrive today. I gather as it's in the post system it's a royal mail delay but I've never had a problem before. (Also Royal Mail are the most unhelpful people around...long story)
htc diam
I got from ebay all ok...

If you got a tracking number, what is the tracking system saying?

Have you emailed the seller??. I bought a phone off him earlier this yr, a blackberry 8310 curve for my bro in Canada and it took him nearly a week or so to post it...wasnt impressed with his service and gave him neutral feedback. Also have you not checked the royalmail website for the tracking info??. Although that wont be of any use as its not updated till the parcel is delivered.
But i would email the seller and ask him what exactly is going on??.

Tracking system just says the item has not been delivered. All the RM tracking can tell you is when it was delivered so you dont know at what stage it is, just that it's somewhere but not delivered....handy I know. It is a valid tracking number tho as I tried changing a digit and it said it was invalid.

I ordered on Tuesday around 1pm.. still not even a shipping notification.
Play.com will have UK version on 19th (3 days)
Insight will have UK version on 18th (2 days)
Inkino/htcdirect.co.uk will have UK version on 17th (1 day)
So i've requested a full refund. I should have just waited

Hmmm interesting, i just rung up totalpda and they still say its the 24th they will have stock in. Rung up Inkino and they are saying that this thurs or fri they should have stock in but their allocation has sold out plus they are selling them at £470 with delivery. Insight havent a clue to be honest, although their website says they 50 coming in...they are all sold out but also said stock is due in end of week. When i asked about their refund/return policy..they said you can return it but will be charged a restocking fee of 20%. Spoke to play.com and they are expecting stock in on 19th so have placed an order with them as they are cheapest at the moment. Still have my pre-order with totalpda as well as i will wait and see what happens with play.com...whether they deliver on the 19th or not.
Look on the bright side though, at least you will have a proper uk spec model rather than an imported one ie grey.
Yeah, actually what changed my mind was the issues people are having.
There seems to be a distinct difference in issues between people with the older 1.34 rom and 1.35 rom. So I'm hoping the UK rom will be even better. We don't really know how long it will take for the hard SPL to work on the new diamonds, and when HTC will release an update for the HK version.
I think at this rate it'll be out on T-Mobile by the time i get hold of one

Well i am hoping that the uk spec Diamond i get wont have these issues that people seem to be having with the grey imports. Still not 100% sure if ill keep it but ill have a few days playing with it and see how i get on with it. If i dont then ill just wait for the Sony Xperia X1 which is due out Sept or Oct according to the guy at Inkino. I would wait for tmobile but my contract doesnt renew till next yr so i might end up getting the Touch pro when my contract comes up for renewal.
Anyone had positive dealings with htcdirect.co.uk before? Think I might order from here, would do play but they order to billing and I need it sent to work.

Hi all,

I ordered fro 1und1 but I am not clear if my P30 Pro will be delivered to me on 05/04 or only start shipping 05/04.

How did you get it via DHL?
When I ordered from 1und1 there was no choice, it just had Hermes as default
My order didn't move yet - Hermes says "received the package data", if it goes to normal Hermes schedule it should arrive around lunch time but they need to pick it up first

Didn´t do anything to be honest, ordered via phone. Originally i canceld my contract, but they made me a really good offer. Don´t know how this can make sense for them, but this is not my problem. Long story short.... I ordered via this phone call and did nothing else, but got the mail this morning. So no idea why i have the luck of DHL (and really getting the phone ) and not hermes. But i am really glad, i never ever got a package from hermes once. tried it 2-3 times, i could pick up one from the store, the other one were refunds in the end. Never got any notification or whatever, but they tried at least 3 times at my door (no way!)

Then you are a lucky guy, my contract was in renewal window and I decided to change tariff and go for the P30 Pro.
I cancelled my Xiaomi Mi 9 order from Saturn because I was fed up waiting for over a month for stock and ongoing delays. - if it was not for so many delays I would not have ordered P30 Pro but now I have a better contract and a better phone in some regards.
