Just ordered my Ignito this evening from the o2 website. Due to my excellent credit history I'm confident I will get a second contract with them.
I'm so damn excited!
Anybody else ordered one?
Hi,
Have you got yours yet.
I got mine this morning but have not opened it yet.
I was expecting co-pilot sat nav software a car holder as in Orbit 1 and 2.
But it does not appear to have any of these.
No car holder and no mension of sat nav software either on the box or now on the o2 web site.
Has anyone else got a Ignito with sat nav?
I specifically asked for co-pilot and was told it was installed alraedy. is that the case?

Only one way to find out except waiting for an answer . Open it up , power it on and check. If not a stern call to O2 is in order

When I ordered my Orbit II's (Polaris) I had to "negotiate" with O2 until they finally coughed up all the goodies....no negotiate - no goodies
I can't find the Ignito on the O2 website for UK...can someone in the know post the link please?
I can open it and find out but that rules out the option of selling on Ebay as new by breaking the seal.
Its been on my desk 6 hrs now. patience is wonderful but can't last much longer..................
I hoped that if someone else had a Ignito they could say if co-pilot was installed.

O2 Ignito,
First on site this morning I think.
http://shop.o2.co.uk/mobile_phone/O2/Xda Ignito
I did negotiate. Got O2 35 (600 mins and 100 txt) for £21 on two contracts. waiting for SE C902 to come in stock for other contract.
Cancellations told me sat nav software was included, but on mentioned on box or site. So I now think its not included.

Hi All,
I'm new here. Been lurking around a while, but finally making my 1st post.
Can anyone who has got the O2 version please tell me if it has the Diamond Back or is it flat like the T-Mo one ?
I can get one FREE with a £35 / m contract or can go £20 SIM only and pay £400 for one. Works out at about £130 more over the 18 months if I go SIM Free tho.
Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Ordered mine today too, should come tomporow morning, I've only been waiting for it to come out for like 3 months. woo hoo
Hi, flat matt back.
Did not come with co-pilot.
Nearly sent it back as the usb connection is different from all others I have had before, more D shared. So the usb-pc and the phone cables are D share as well but the mains and car chargers are the old shape. Finallay worked it out......... the phone takes both shapes but the old shape goes in upside down. Why the change? good job I did not ring O2.
I assumed as it was new O2 had got it wrong and sent out old charger shape cables. DOH!
How long you been with o2. negotiate. Much better deals out there. I quoted my written quote for t-mobile as free phone and £30 month with internet. see my last posts.

Had my O2 Ignito since last friday now, and at last I think I can be of help...
1) no it doesn't come with Co-Pilot as standard (just trying to decide whether to get tomtom navigator or Garmin mobile on mine)
2) The O2 version has a flat matt black back (try saying that with a few stella's inside you!)
Matt.
Could you post some pictures of the back cover ?
Does it come with a MicroSD slot like the o2 site is claiming? also, could osmeone post a couple of pictures from the camera, and does it have a flash?
Cheers!

It doesn't come with an expansion slot no, and the camera doesn't have a flash. As for posting photographs - I'm afraid I'm not that technically minded.
However should you pay a visit to www.coolsmartphone.com you will find they have done a viseo diary entitled 'a week with the HTC Touch Diamond'. It is well worth spending the time watching the vids.
Matt
Just got in after an 11 hour shift :| to see that one of my housemates signed for it for me! It's now in my hand Gonna be a late night tonight
Don't get it stolen!!
Thanks for your answers Johny1fin. I'm currently in the process of moving from Orange to O2, so my options are limited. Looks like I'm going to go for the O2 £ 35 /month option to get a free Ignito. Can always put the new firmwares here on it.

Ravin Dave - Hi !
You're in my hometown, so I wanna help (live in clitheroe now though).
Negotiate - lots of places offering 11 months HALF PRICE rental on orange, ie 17.50/month for your contract size. Ask O2 to match orange, and if they don't, imply that you'll stay with orange (meanwhile waiting for some1 else, eg Carphone Warehouse, to get Ignito on O2).
There will be more competitive deals available once it's available in other outlets.
It's worth waiting just a week or two more.
Patience........
Mine Ignito arrived earlier this week as well, £35 contract dropped to £20 a month to beat the Orange deals going on at the moment. So 600 mins, 1000 texts, and a free bolt on (Unlimited data...no brainer).
Pretty please with it so far, prefer the flat/matt back to the std diamond one anyway!
Not a fan of the O2 blue theme though...am I safe to put the modified HTC Diamond ROMs on it?

They are active over at pocketGPSworld and seem legit, although given Expansys aren't claiming to have an in-stock date I'd be a little dubious about stock coming in Wednesday.
Do let us know what you do

Thanks Gordon.
I don't really believe the availability date, they have other HTC phones with the same date given for availability so it's probably just a general day when they receive their HTC shipments or something.
The P4550 page looks a bit out of date - a couple of the specs (GPS chip, RAM) look like they're taken from old information, so I'm guessing the availability date is a little way out as well. I've been waiting since January though, so a bit longer wont hurt.
They've got quite a good score on DealTime but I'm never sure whether to trust those sorts of sites, I'm happier listening to forum opinions, so unless I see a load of negative opinion, I'll probably go with them later this week - but I think I'll use PayPal or Google Checkout for a little extra peace of mind.
Seems they have removed the phone now as cannot see it on there site.

I used superetraders to get my ETEN M700, they were very helpful with the order (complicated with a cc registered in one country and delivery to another country). The device arrived within the time they said and the phone had had a pre-sales check - I never got any of the problems that seemd to plague others!
I can heartily recommend them!
Anyone know if Kaiser is going to be available in Australia if so when.
Well I placed my oredr with Superetrader and payment was taken straight out of my account because I (stupidly, it seems) used Google Checkout.
Google Checkout showed my P4550 as "Posted" but, as noted earlier in this thread, Superetrader then took the P4550 off their site.
A few e-mails later trying to figure out what was really going on, Superetrader have confirmed that the release date has slipped to "Hopefully late July or early August". Shame I had to pay for the thing way in advance, but I'm hopeless with money so at least I know it's paid for and will be on it's way asap.
Moral is avoid Google Checkout! I have no problem with Superetrader, but the whole process has been complicated by Google and their fledgling payment service, which clearly needs a bit of ironing out.

Hello All,
This is just to inform you all that this phone is now sold since I have just purchased it on ebay.
This will be my second Kaiser, and I have to admit that I am very happy with it. I had a Herald before, and the Kaiser is a distinct improvement.
Thanks to all on this site who provide such good advice!! And thanks for helping me find a new phone for my wife!!

How come no one wants to purchase my phone, although its been advertised for longer?
Sorry, 246810. I didn't see that your phone was for sale, and also, although your phone if probably a cheaper offer (if you look at what you are giving with it), I wanted the HTC model not the MDA version because I already have an HTC model myself and I don't want to have two different versions of the same phone.
Sorry!!!
P.S. I might have a Herald for sale when the Kaiser arrives as my wife currently has a Herald and she might not want it any more. Anyone interested?
P.P.S. I regulary send older models to the Philippines (my wife is from the Philippines) as charity as they cannot afford such phones there. If anyone has any of the older models (so far I have sent Wizards and a couple of Universals) and would be willing to donate them to charity (I don't make any money from this at all), please PM me. THANKS!!!!
Hey 246810.
Maybe you should reduce your price a bit to get more interest. Your Phone is a T-mobile branded TYTN so will not have the look of the original TYTN from HTC Which may put some poeple off a bit.
I recently had the opportunity to purchase a MDA vario 3 for £200 brand-new and never used but my heart was set on an orginal looking one. A week later I managed to get an orange branded one with a HTC replacement battery cover £250.
I'm not saying yours isn't a bad offer. But maybe the price is a bit too much for what it is.
Hope you find luck selling it.

May I ask if you can buy it for this price brand new? I do find it hard to believe that you can purchase a new Diamond for around £290. Who are you purchasing them from? Cuboosh?...
Also, keep in mind that it comes with 4 cases, two of which are the boxwave clear active case and Siedo's case, and two leather cases, Sony Bluetooth headphones in good condition, along with a virtually unused very compact Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased off Expansys for £60/$120.
not to hijack the thread or anything, but just to let you know, that most people dont really care about that stuff. i wouldnt pay extra for a bluetooth keyboard. why would i need it??? hah 4 cases??!!! one is more than enough. just letting you know why you're having problems selling it so far. maybe try selling that stuff separately??
I found a guy who said he can get some brand new htc x7500/x7501 keyboards. right now they are 50pounds but i am trying to get him down to 40 pounds if i can find 5 people who want one. so if you really want one not just thinking about it. post a message here saying you want one and tell me the country you live in. so i can see if he ships their

i live in texas with a 7501 i have been look everywhere for a new keyboard since i lost my old one. if it is too late is there a way for you to put me in touch with him, i honestly cant find anyone who carries these. thanks a bunch

Hi there
Haven't been on here for a while (hello everyone), but I thought I'd post a note to say I've just been on the phone to O2 and have ordered my Ignito.
Has anyone else got one through O2 UK yet? What are they like?
I'm currently using a Stella BTW.
Cheers
HPJ
Got mine too..
Just got off the phone with O2, had to go through rententions finally got it for £25/month 600 mins 1000 txts with unlimited web browsing. should be with me tomorrow.
Hey I'm with o2 UK but bought my diamond sim free, they still think I am using my Orbit 2. Just wondered how you managed to get unlimited web bolt on etc for £25, I have been with o2 for years and I pay £37.50 for less calls and less texts.
So has no-one actually got one yet (an XDA Ignito from O2 UK, to avoid any ambiguity)? The guy at O2 who I spoke to said they had only just been released, but I didn't think he meant it literally!
Ordered one for the wife this afternoon. Should be here tomorrow, got tracking details from DHL tonight. All I've got to do now is teach her how to use it, her present phone is a Nokia 3100!!! £25 for 600 mins, 1000 txts and unlimited smurfing. Well pleased!!

maljay are you a new customer or just renewing your contract?
im think of moving to o2 from orange if they dont give me a decent upgrade deal on the diamond.
Retentions sorted me out nicely, matching the offer i got from Vodafone direct sales. Ordered yesterday afternoon came this morning at 9am
600 mins
1000 txts
Free data bolt on
18months
£20pm
Now need to wait for people to post up how they get rid of this silly O2 software
Not on web
Can't find anything at the O2 website....anyone have a working link?
Not on their site, although they do have the spare battery on there.
best to ring them
just ordered one myself, new to the site, hello btw, just wondering, anyone know best place to grab some good software for it? im pretty clueless atm, I seen some app threads on here, i assume they are what Im looking for??
This is my first renewal of an 18 month contract. Received Ignito 9am this morning. Just need to figure a way of getting back the nice black HTC theme. O2 branding not good but way better than Orange or T-Mobile.
Just ordered mine on o2 will be 3-5 working days but gives me time to get rid of my orbit 2 but on a £30/month contract for 18m but im on the o2 select scheme so upgrade in 15 months
O2 select used to give just a 12 month contract with an upgrade in 9 months....all but finished now according to the guy I spoke to.
Anyway got my Ignito today. Very different from Stellar. Not impressed with the TouchFlo 3D thing....very slow and not particularly intuitive. But the overall size combined with the usual suspects (exchange syncing etc) is great. I've yet to put any music or films on there however. Very much work in progress.
Anyone else's initial thoughts?

Hi,
Not only GPS but co-pilit as well.
Or so I am told by O2 as i ordered mine on saturday and it should come by Wednesday.
Got mine free with Online 35 (600 mins+1000 text and inc web bolt on)
paying £21 as I have been with O2 for 10 yrs.
Can't wait but hope I have no CP7 issues.
Had Orbit with CP6 and Orbit 2 with CP7, no issues.
Has anyone managed a rom dump backup of Ignito?

Orange have left the Diamond unbranded - no crappy orange bloatware. The only thing that tells you the phone is Orange is a small logo at the bottom of the back of the phone. This is unusual for Orange though...
XDA Indigo
Got my Indigo about two weeks ago, am long term o2 customer so good deal free phone, 1000 txts, 600mins, unlimted web (subject to fair usage) discounted international calling package & add ons.
Taken me this last couple of weeks to get it how i want it, (previous mobile was XDA Orbit) changed softkey programms etc. So far pretty good apart from hands free speaker phone which is quite, have posted on this issue elsewhere.
Well just as an opening thread for now... ordered the HTC Diamond 2...should be with me next thursday all being well
Release date is 8/3 from memory so if they ship out on the same day...
Have explained about the returns etc and that I would want to turn it on/mess about to test out before formally excepting it... the company are fine with this as long as its in re-sellable condition along with packaging etc.
Things I will test that my current Diamond (first edition) has really annoyed me:
1. Both ear and loud speaker volume (and I know about the hack that in the end simply distorts the speaker)
2. Touch screen - how much does it compare to the iphone...iphone nipped it in the bud with their screen in how good it is in responsivness...you can literally touchtype on it...the Diamond even with the hack is still not as good and sometimes annoying if its too sensitive.
3. Battery life
4. Quite important, it's compatibility with my Audi bluetooth kit - current one displays missed calls/dialled calls/entire phonebook etc on my Audi screen.
5. Any sort or genuine windows slide to answer/slide to unlock? S2U2 is great but still has a few annoyances which is perfectly acceptable given that its free, someones spent a lot of hard time on it etc
I think thats my top 5 really - my threshold is if 2 of the 5 fail, its going back.
One of the items that must pass is point 4.
Will report back when I get it!
I just ordered mine yesterday too. Can't wait to get it...
And about Battery life and answer/slide unlock you don't need to bother, it's fine and in the Diamond2 it's a better battery!
The only thing that bothers me is.. that there's no D-PAD. I hope we're going to get used to it...
Orderd mine today too. Now the waiting begins...
Curious about life without dpad too....

Where did you ordered yours? Cause I live in Belgium but I am not sure what site to order, I think pdashop.be or something like that. I am born in Holland so I got relatives that live there,so maybe it could be easier to order it and send it to their adres? The release date was the 14the of April right? Can`t wait I already sold my Diamond and are currently using an old Samsung D900
I'm from belgium aswell, been looking into it, i think our cheapest (doesnt say much for how early u get it, but cheap is what counts for me!) option is http://www.belzaak.nl/preorder/HTC/6972/HTC_Touch_Diamond_II_NL/
delivery to belgium is like 13€, making it a whopping 41€ cheaper than pdashop ...

You guys are all lucky bastards , haha just messing with you guys, I am trying to sell my Fuze right now so I can buy a Diamond 2, anyone interested
I am curious to see if Diamond 2's speakers are going to be better than my current Diamond. If it's as good as Touch HD's, then it'll be great. Also, will it come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, cos lots of new apps require that. Will be checking this thread on and off before the set becomes available in Malaysia. Last question - price - cheaper than Touch HD?

The Diamond 2 will most likely come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, as for the price... yes it will be cheaper than the HD, according to Expansys - the Diamond 2 will be $125 usd cheaper.
I just ordered mine as well. My supplier said it was supposed to arrive yesterday, but its stuck with customs. Im anxiously waiting for his call today, if not tomorrow. I wonder if i will be the first in the world to own it (that is IF it isnt an april fool's joke!)

I ordered mine at pdashop.nl, it's expected to arrive on april 10th. I ordered other things from them before and never had any complaint. They also do very well consistently in the tweakers.net shop review. They do indeed have a belgian equivalent: pdashop.be.
For me, service is important. I have owned both an E-ten PDA and an HTC PDA. Both have had problems and have been sent RMA once. If a repair is needed, I want that to happen quickly and without trouble. I would never buy any grey device. But that's just MHO.
At a Webshop here in Switzerland it says "will be available approx. early April".. I guess it's coming on the 10th of April aswell.
Can't wait to replace my HTC TyTN II with a Diamond2...
I ordered mine from here http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1868/ I can't wait for it to arrive, life without a D-Pad is gonna suck but it still beats the hell outta having an Elf-in !!
india
i frm india any idea which site to get it frm and tell can i get any version or all are the same pls help im a noooooooob
thanks guys
I don't know where to buy in India. However, devices sold in different countries have different ROM's. If you buy a device with a language different from your own you would have to hard splash it and upload a custom ROM from XDA or an official HTC ROM in another language. You'd be screwed if it would break and you would need to have it repaired under warranty. Then it has to have the original ROM it came with on it.
