Available from vodafone UK from today

Vodafone finally got the V1615 (as they call it) in stock, got one on a new contract 35.00 per month 700 mintues, 500 texts, free bt headset fr £50.00
Upgrade cost was expensive, to upgrade one of our handsets on 35.00 month plan for 12 month contract was £280.00
Got it arriving tommorow, see if it lives up to all the expectations...

Well it arrived today as promised, comes with TOMTOM on a seperate disk and a couple of backup utilities, the supplied GPRS monitor i foud to be a pain as it clashes with the 3g logo at the top.
Vodafone dont seem to have done anythig to it other than the usual boot up screen.
Did spend finve minutes wondering why it would not switch on then found no battery in the box, they decided to put them all inside the carry case for the phone.
MUCH faster than the old TYTN in my opinion, just seem that bit snappier.
TOM TOM map i downloaded (1 fee) was very disappointing and seem to be a very basic one, did not even have our street on it so totally useless to me, will have to download full UK maps, another £49.00

Hi msward3380!
I got a HTC TyTn II and am on Vodafone!
Have you found any more things about Vodafone branding? Is it just the start up screen as you say!
I guess the is a Voda logo somewhere too...
It would be great if that is all Voda did to it!
Ofiaich

wow. That's expensive!! - I got mine as an upgrade from voda. Arrived on Friday. Cost me £17.50 on a 12month, or free on 18 month.
I was on a £50 tarrif, but they also dropped that to £35/month.
For upgrades, always ask for your PAC code first and goto disconnections/retentions. They will do you much better deals!

only on stores..

The vodafone version has a glossy back finish. Very slick, in my opinion.

Desktop charger/cradle

Anyone using this cradle: http://www.boxwave.com/news/news_1326.htm
I haven't seen many other options options - only 1 other in fact. The another one I have seen makes you have to physically plug the cable in the side which kind of defeats the purpose.
The new(ish) Boxwave one seems to have to slide on.
I'm in Australia and would have to have it shipped across. Wondering is anyone is using and can give me feedback on what it's like.
For example, I'd like to know how easy it connects/disconnects from the cradle.
Thanks.

Thanks for your post! I am camping in the Swiss Alps this summer and found the perfect accessory for me!

Thanks kerrance.... Hadn't seen that one before and looks great. Unfortunately doesn't look like they ship overseas (I'm in Australia).

Box wave looks good, especially the one with the extra battery charger Mite consider this as well, but my problem is I already ordred the crystal case from pdair.com and it would be hassle to remove it from the case everytime I sit it on the cradle :-(

as for the other one, in their terms and conditions it says

Yeah, I live in Melbourne and I have physically seen that one. It has a very short USB cable that needs to be manually connected to the side of the phone. I fail to understand the point of this device (but, maybe it's just me)... I might as well just connect a standard USB cable.

Can you post some larger pics? I can hardly see these.

ive been researching this phone the past couple days, and im highly interested in upgrading from my dash to the kaiser. im in the market for a new smartphone a) cause i am bored with my dash, done everything ive wanted to it and b) its slow. i have a low budget, id say 300 tops and everywhere ive looked to buy this phone is at least 400. ive tried lookin for promo codes and all that fun stuff, nothin. i dont want to buy one off ebay cause you never know what youre gettin off there. I have t-mobile and i dont know wether to get this or wait to get the diamond/touch pro... bottom line is i like this phone alot and im ready for a new one...

if i could have waited, i would get the touch pro..
at least from what i think i know

still avalible?
Is the phone still avalible? What would be a reasonable offer at this time if so?
Thanks,
Loretta

SE service center support is useless

My X1 met with an accident before six months, which left one part of the slider loose compared to the other, and the screen broke and i have a spider web kinda crack on one part of the screen.
I've gone to three service centers till date and all of them told me that they do not have the spare parts and have to import it from god damn knows where.
I sent a mail to x1support also, but no reply.
What are the other options i have to get my phone repaired? People from India, please reply

India is not the only country to have lazy Sony support. I guess you will have to wait for the X2. Sorry if I am not being helpful but I have bad experiences with Sony in many parts of Asia and Europe. In many 'third world' countries they are more geared up to service TVs, DVD recorders, and audio systems (even laptops) but just do not have the expertise for high-end phones.

sigh... i think i will go back to the java based Sony ericsson phones. atleast i got good support.

Se service is pathetic
Hi,
Icompletely agree on this pathetic service by SE. I am from India. I have been haveing some problem with my xi lately. I went to Se service centre for getting the phone repaired as it was stuck in the headset mode. I was told that it has happened because of some liquid geting in the mother boardand we will have to check with the head office and after some fifteen days later when i get my phone, the slider key board is loose and i can not type through this propery. When i told them they are saying it was like that only. very irresponsible answer. One this is for sure that this is going to be my last SE phone and I will make sure that people around my dont get into the same trap and dont buy any of these SE phones. Pathetic is the only word for their service. Infact I am planning to sell this phone off and get another NON SE phone.

Yes it is lol. I know of only one person that was completely content with their srvices. I guess it was a fluke, or a competent clerk (fired sooon aftert that lol).....

i bet you had to wait so long because they keep all the spare parts in korea incase their korean customers get a crack or something because they are the most important people.

Question S21 ultra back replacement

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately my phone dropped and the back glass cover and primary camera glass are shattered.
I can change it by myself (from years i can repair my phones without sending it and wait days and days) but now i cannot find any replacement parts on the net.
Can anyone help me please?
The part is like this: https://www.samsung-parts.net/epages/Samsung-Parts.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=1212377
Thank you!

You sadly will need to go through samsung or see if you can still add protection plan to carrier and then do claim few days after since you damaged it so early into launch. All the parts are going into devices still and nobody is parting out phones yet. Cant even get replacement sim trays etc from china yet.

Thank you so much for the reply. The only thing to do now is turn off the phone, turn on my note20u, and using it until in my supplier sites show on stock the replacement

On the site that i linked in the first post.
Original parts and accept paypal.
For me here in Italy is the best and reliable site

ItsTek on Amazon store I have found to be very good before with genuine Samsung parts. Bought two S20 and S20 Ultra rear glass from them before. I think you'll struggle for parts though on the S21 until at least a few more months.

Hey,
Thought I would pipe up and say I dropped my S21U after 5 days of having it ([email protected], i know) but got a replacement back from these guys: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonejoy - genuine part and quite easy to fix yourself if you have patience.
