The phone was released on 26 Sep afternoon.
Just ordered mine. Delivery on Fri. There were 15 left when I placed the call, none 5 minutes later.
Spoke to the cancellations department, or whatever is called.
Yep, 6 left when i called, delivery tommorrow...
Ooo, maybe that means I'll actually get mine today rather than another Compact III. I await in anticipation!
no mention
there is no mention of this on the tmobile website,
i will happily give my hermes300 away when i get this
Cheers for the heads up, mine will be here before 1pm tommorow
Just spoken to T-mobile uk to get an upgrade and they wouldn't even give me a price as "it's not out until October"
How have people managed to find someone who says different?
same here - thanks for the heads up Dan!
Read this thread last night at about midnight and thought I might have missed the boat, but phoned up new connections this morning at around 9am and ordered mine (think they said they had about 45 or so in stock at the time).
PAC code activated and delivery before 1pm tomorrow... woo hoo!
Goodbye Orange and thanks for all the erm.... (oh yeah... not a lot!!! )
I'm tempted to upgrade to this (even though i've bought a standalone Kaiser in the meantime) then just flog it on e-bay
Called a couple times this morning said they were out of stock until October !
Called back the guy said he just had an email and they got more stock so Ive ordered mine, coming before 1pm tomorrow.
What prices did you guys pay? I paid £80 on a 18 month with free eves & weekends, I was promised £60 on a 12 month contract but wanted the order to hurry and go through so ill call back and argue that...lol
Also what tarifs and deals did you get?
wow that sounds really cheap :O
I wonder how much the upgrade price will be....

LOL you won't be saying that once you try the service
I'm considering changing to T-Mobile myself for the cheaper calls and unlimited data but to be honest I've had several business phones with them and my girlfriend and sister in law are with them and the signal often disappears in places you'd never expect it.
If you're always close to town then it probably isn't a problem but I don't think their coverage is anything like they advertise

I can vouch for that! It does depend on the phone to a certain extent, but their coverage is far from the best. Luckily it's good enough around where I live and work to not cause an issue, but there are places close-by that have horrible reception.
I'm with T-Mobile for their tariffs, not their coverage!
My T-Mobile MDA Vario III should be here tomorrow as well.
Im on Flext 20, and paid £30 to upgrade.
Why? They owed me one. Or 250!
Hmmm I wonder how much they'll go for on e-bay etc....

Heh...
If Orange spent as much time and effort in providing a decent (and courteous) level of customer care as they do on thinking up silly animal names for talk plans then I might still be with them (it's a long story... ).
Thankfully, I live and spend most of my time in one of the bigger cities here in the UK so I can't imagine there being too many problems with getting/holding a signal (well no more than I experienced with Orange in certain areas).
Besides I have 14 days to play with it and if it really sucks that bad they can have it back
I've been waiting for these to arrive on T-Mobile so I can move across from O2. Went into the local T-Mobile shop today and they said not in yet, but have taken my phone number and will call me when they get them.
In the meantime, I went across the road to the O2 shop, to just check what they can offer me (clearly not a Kaiser, as they don't so them... yet). They guy in the shop said, "yes T-mobile have had better data plans for a long time, but I would highly recommend waiting until Monday, as we are announcing some new plans that include unlimited data, and they will put T-mobile to shame... and I've been waiting for a LONG time to say that... and thought it might never happen! We also have new phones being released, but I can't say anything more."
Not sure what he means, but I will now wait for Monday and hope he isn't just pulling my leg and spouting marketing speak, but he seemed genuinely excited by it all!
I don't think they will have the kaiser, so I will probably still go with T-Mobile, but I do like O2 all the same! And being with them for 9 years should mean I get a good discount on any tariff I pick with them. But any ideas how I could get the Kaiser onto O2 at a reasonable price.
Should I get a "no-phone tariff" and buy it unlocked? Or should I get the most expensive (and re-saleable) phone I can from them, and flog it on Ebay to fund my unlocked Kaiser. Or should I dump O2 and move to T-mobile and be done with it?
The comments here about poor network coverage on T-Mobile worry me, and the O2 guy said the same (albeit, he would wouldn't he!), and boasted about the strength of the O2 network. I certainly seem to get signal everywhere with O2! (except inside my house! but T-Mobile are no better in my house either!)
Decisions, Decisions....

Do they put T-Mobile to shame?. I think not.
Note 200MB fair use policy! LOL!
O2 launches unlimited data packages
12:56AM Thu 27 September 2007
O2 will launch unlimited data downloads on 1 October for its prepay and contract customers for £7.50 a month.
The package is for users wanting to browse the internet and send emails and comes with a fair usage policy that offers around 200MB a month, which is equivalent to around 1,400 web pages.
The service is the same price as T-Mobile's Web'n'Walk package, which gives users 1GB of usage a month.
The network will also launch O2 Web Max for customers who want to connect their handset to a PC or use a data card. This costs £30 a month and comes with 3GB of usage a month.
Business customers have also been targeted by O2 with a service called Unlimited BlackBerry. This gives users unlimited access to the internet on BlackBerry with a fair usage policy of 200MB at £10 a month. It is aimed at customers who want to browse the web while their email is pushed to their handset via the BlackBerry service.

congratulations to all of you in europe! hopefully the AT&T version will hit the uS soon.
What's up guys.
Well Unfortunately, but fortunately for others, I broke my HTC S710 screen so I am in need of an new cellphone. I am switching forum sections now hahaha.
I was looking to purchase this phone, as I heard with a few tweaks (ROM Flash, registry tweaks), it's phenomenal.
Where could I purchase this phone in Canada (internet or store or wtv). I know in stores, the price will probably be excessive, so I'm looking for stores online where you bought yours from!
Rogers is offer the NAM 3G version @$199 with 3yr contract. Check their web site.
Yea was about to get it, but 199$ is for new customers only...
For me they said if i wanted to get it, 349.99+tx/3yr... screw that
edit: it's all about finding the right person who's willing to do it
Hey everyone, It's been really interesting reading the comments here, especially regarding T-Mobile and their riduclous failure to release the phone properly. I have a question about my new upgrade to the TD2...
I am just finishing a contract with Orange - one of the reasons I went with them is because they always have the HTC handsets and I love them. I called up to ask if they were getting it in and told they didn't know. I then asked for my PAC code and the guy at retentions (whose job is to stop me leaving) asked me why. I informed him that I am extremely particular about which handset I get and T-Mobile have it whilst Orange don't. He then had the nerve to argue with me! He kept telling me that only Orange get HTC phones, it's an exclusive contract, etc. I calmly told him that it was an HTC phone that T-Mobile were getting but rebranded. Our conversation went something like:
"Why are you leaving Orange after 7 years?"
"Because I want the HTC Touch Diamond2 and you don't have it."
"Neither do T-Mobile."
"Yes, they do."
"No they don't." rolleyes
"Really, they do. It's called the MDA Compact 5."
"I'm looking at their website right now and it's not listed there"
"I know it isn't. But there are numerous press releases confirming it, not to mention I just spoke to them personally."
"Are you thinking of the G1?"
"NO. It's the HTC Diamond 2."
"Only Orange have HTC phones. It's exclusive."
...etc until I lost patience and told him that this was one of the reasons I was leaving Orange.
I have always been someone who attaches to a network directly rather than through a reseller, but I've discovered that some of these online places like MobilePhonesDirect do rather better deals for new contracts than the networks themselves do. I was thinking of the 18 month Combi 30 + WnW - the handset would be free which is better than T-Mob do themselves! (http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n447/p10957.aspx)
My question is, given that I'm giving up on 7 years-worth of loyalty bonuses, would it be better to go to T-Mob via MPD or go direct and pay more for the handset? Am I at any disadvantage from buying from a reseller?
Cheers for your help!
I left Orange aeons ago, after running with them for 18 months with my Tytn 1; their data packages were laughable then (4 pounds a month for 5MB) and although are better now, still pathetic compared to other operators. No idea why they don't sort out their attitudes towards data given the fact they carry internet phones.
Anyway, original question - a D2 off ebay is between £350-400; got mine for £380. I now have a 30 day rolling contract for £17 from O2 - 600 mins, 1200 texts, unlimited web. The maths doesn't support it really - you can get a D2 on a similar contract for £25 a month on a 24 month contract (£600 in total) - compared to my independantly bought handset and contract (£788 if carried for 24 months), I've shafted myself.
On the other hand, I was desparate for a new phone; I'd had a Kaiser for 18 months on T-Mobile (who 3 weeks ago said they would not be doing the HTC Diamond 2 (cretins for not knowing their Vario V is the D2)), and my credit checks wouldn't let me have the D2 on O2.
Also, this does mean I can get the next "must have" phone on contract instead of having to wait 2 years for an upgrade.
i got the touch diamond 2 for free on a 24month contract 600 minutes talk time any network and unlimited text any network for £25 a month its an O2 contract but arranged through i think it mobiles.co.uk just search for touch diamond 2 deals on google. Also first 7months are half price
Cool, thanks for the info. What I was wondering is if it makes any difference going through a reseller regarding upgrades. So, let's say I got an 18 month contract on T-Mobile via one of the reseller sites. Could I then call up T-Mobile and negotiate directly with them for a new contract and phone? And would it make a difference that I didn't originally go directly with them?
I had been a customer of O2 for 10 years when I decided to leave to get my mitts on a TD2.
The loyalty only goes so far so I wasn't too fussed to leave. I also had to jump networks to get the best deals from an online reseller (for some reason staying with the same provider yields much worse deals).
I had been on a £15pcm Simplicity tariff with the web bolt-on since my previous phone went out of contract.
I went with the 18 months T-Mobile Combi 30 + WnW plan from Mobilephonesdirect. Had it a month now and pleased as punch. A few advantages of going through a reseller (especially the mobilephones direct deal)
1 - The phone is unlocked and unbranded so when that Windows Mobile 6.5 goodness(?) is released as promised by HTC I won't have to wait and if in 17 months time I want to change provider then I can keep the phone and get a cheap SIM only tariff.
2 - The deals are more competitive. If I'd bought an unbranded TD2 outright and kept my O2 tariff I'd be paying over the odds compared to the "free" handset offered by MPD over the life of the contract. If I'd waited and gone with the T-Mobile version I'm pretty sure I'd be paying three figures for the handset.
3 - With MPDs £50 of accessories offer you can get a 16Gb card for £25 (Yes I know the fact that they charge £75 for it isn't the cheapest, but in real terms it still has only cost me £25 and I now have oodles of storage for MP3s, etc)
4 - My ongoing contract is directly with T-Mobile not MPD so I can start building some T-Mobile "loyalty"
TBH T-Mobile works better than O2 in some places and worse in others to the extent that I think they just about balance out. Just odd to get cut off in the car in places that weren't a problem and then be able to carry on in longstanding O2 blackspots!
My tuppence.

Amazing isn't it... I bought my D2 from mobile phones direct and it's been a perfect experience so far. I actually ordered the phone on the day it came out and was absolutely amazed when it turned up next day, on a Saturday morning.
I'm on the Combi 30+ WnW and the account is with T-Mobile. It appeared on my existing T-Mobile account page on the web. I assume I'll start building loyalty with them again. The phone was free and there was £50 of freebies so bought 8GB card and car charger. ExpanSys charged £50 for the phone and no freebies.
It was rather amusing when I cancelled my old contact and got through to the inertible loyalty team. At least they were english. I tried to point out that I wasn't really leaving T-Mobile, just going sideways. And only did it because T-Mobile didn't (at the time) offer the phone.
So go for it!
Cheers, Rob.
I'm another happy MobilesPhonesDirect.com customer and the asnwer to your main question is yes: you will be a t-mobile customer like any other.
Tony
Wow! Thanks everyone so much for your responses, that's really helped me cement my choice. I really appreciate your feedback. On the strength of this I am going to purchase it on T-Mob via MPD as soon as my stupid PAC code comes through.
Thanks again!
Why not go through carphone warehouse and get the TD2 on orange
you wont loose your loyalty bonuses !!
i dont see what the issue is ?
carphone warehouse will do it for u on orange it will come unlocked to all netwoerks without the stupid operator branding. Am with orange and did mine at the carphone warehouse.
Good Luck buddy
There's no point me going through the Carphone Warehouse as they'd set me up with a new contract, which would defeat the point of having loyalty with Orange. For new contracts, T-Mobile definitely win with the TD2.
Having said all this, Orange did say they'll be launching the Touch Pro 2 soon, so there's always the option of getting that (hopefully free) then selling it on eBay and buying a sim-free TD2 instead. It never gets any easier to make choices, especially now that 18 months seems normal.
Double post
What's the data plan like on Orange though?
When I was looking to jump ship and was looking at operators direct (as well as through resellers) I found Vodafone and Orange's websites to be almost cryptic as to what, if any, data bundles were included or available seperately.
Pretty useless when your wanting a phone that elevates itself to Smartphone status by virtue of it's many data using features!
When I bought via MPD I went with T-Mobile over the Voda offers purely for the better (and clearer explained...) data tariff. T-Mobile are certainly one of the more progressive operators when it comes to data, and who ever you get your TD2 from or through, be sure that to get the best from the handset you have a good voice AND data plan!
Though I have now learned that my last bill has £6odd on it for simply checking voicemail.......
Niall
A good point - Orange will throw in their data bundle if I stay with them, which at 500MB isn't as good as T-Mobile's 1GB but would be enough for my needs.
The question for me now is do I wait for Orange to give me a good deal and a Touch Pro I can sell, or jump ship to T-Mobile and risk ending up paying much more?
Decisions, decisions...

Ohh I gave up trying to transfer my PAC code across. It just too much like hard work as I was going from T-Mobile to T-Mobile. The process was request PAC code from T-Mobile, obtain a PAYG SIM with another provider, give them the PAC code and transfer the number to PAYG. Wait a while (!) and then go through the process again to transfer back to T-Mobile.
Of course, each time you want that PAC code they bamboozle you with crap and you'd have to work through the retentions team. They kept going on about end periods, charges etc (T-Mobile this is).
I was expecting to end up without a number at all!
All of this must be complete bull**** as I can see BOTH my accounts on T-Mobile web page so they are on the same computer system with the same provider.
In the end, I simply emailed/text all my friends with the new number. That was far less hassle.
It's things like this that still give the mobile providers a really bad name. Ohh and the fact that I had go through this pain with an Indian call centre at the start and they failed to transfer me three times to retentions.
And to further add salt into the wound, I rang up when I first got my new phone in T-Mobile and they said "Ohh, you can't cancel until 17th June without a charge as that's when the contract runs out". So I duly created a task in Outlook on 17th June to cancel and they said "But of course, you've just paid for another month"...
Charletons the lot of them! ;-)

I think T-Mobile on Combi 30+ wnk is unlimited, fair use...
Rob.
Both Orange and T-Mobile are "unlimited", but last I checked thir fair use policy was 500MB for Orange, 1Gb for T-Mobile. (And 200MB for O2, out of interest.)
So it seems that one may acquire the other real soon. At this point nothing is certain but do a google search on it to see whats been going on. If its real then this will cause a 3 way running with Sprint/Tmo, ATT, Verizon/ Alltel having almost equal amounts of customers. As an employee for Tmobile USA I can say that something serious is going on recently and I would bet money on this. The thing is who buys who? Tmobile is much smaller than sprint but with Duetch Telecom behind them I can see it going that way. But I have a feeling it will be sprint buying up Tmobile since Duetch Telecom isnt happy with the way things are going in the US market considering how big Verizon and ATT are now. Either way talk about an identity crisis, totally polar opposites in terms of technology and customer service.
Tmobile is placing a bid in on sprint on September 29th 2009.
To my knowledge at least. Duetch Telecom isnt behind T-mobile, they are infact the same company except Duetch Telecom in the US is just called T-mobile.
Then we should buy a lot of Sprint stock shares
noooo sprint noooo tmobile eww.. xd
Ok, so this might be more of a rant than it is a question, but I am still curious as to see who else here has had to deal with the same thing I have.
Back in December, I finally managed to wiggle out of my AT&T contract so I could swap over to Verizon like I have wanted to for a long time. I really only had two reasons for wanting to do this and that was data caps and very poor service for my area(s). Before I made the switch, I actually borrowed two different cell phones from friends and tried them out around my residence just to see what my service would be like. Knowing that I live basically in isolation (one hour from the nearest large city) I needed to know that I would get decent reception.
Seeing that I was going to get perfect cell reception, I pulled the trigger and signed up with Verizon for four phones. Awesome. Up until three weeks ago, I had nothing but the best service you could ask for. Anytime at home you could make calls, use data and do whatever you wanted/needed to do. Sweet.
Then along comes Spring time and with it came its naughty sibling: thunderstorms. Now, I know all to well from working in telecom that wind, rain, and lightening can do some pretty awesome stuff to our telecom and digital communication services, so when a nice storm rolled through my area, I wasn't totally shocked to notice having no cell service that night when I got home from work. The next morning, the problem was still there. Again, not a shocker and no big deal in my eyes as stuff happens.
The storm in question happened on a Thursday, and by Saturday evening I was getting a little distraught by not having any service at the house. Mainly because I'm also a small business owner and I am always on call with work. As you can imagine, having a reliable cell phone and coverage is very important to me. As most would do, I called Verizon and voiced my concerns and they issued a trouble ticket.
Two days later, they call me back stating that," the issue resolved itself and that I needed to check my service when I got home and call back should I have any other issues" Again, I work in telecom and this line isn't new to me. This excuse is usually used when a company acknowledges that there is an issue but can't seem to find the cause.
When I got home, there was still no service. Let's be clear, I'm not talking about poor service at this point, I'm talking about clearly, no service. Not even a hint of Verizon or U.S. Cellular signal for an entire three mile radius of where I live. Once again, I call Verizon and submit another trouble ticket... Three days later, Verizon calls me and states that they found one of the cell towers in my area that had a missing neighbor ID. Ok, I guess I can understand that causing some issues, so we'll see.
Still no joy. So I made yet my third call to Verizon and was told that they had done everything possible to resolve my issue and that my area is now considered to be a marginal coverage area, so I would have to deal with the issue or pay my ETF and use someone else.
As you can imagine, I complained until I got high enough on the food chain and got someone who is/was willing to look into the issue.
In the grand scheme, I've been getting excuse after excuse from Verizon and now I'm beginning to wonder if I should start looking into getting back with ATT because of this. I'm being told that they will hopefully have someone out to look at the tower within 7-10 business days (as of today)
Thoughts?
File with the FCC. If they HAD service where you live when you signed, and now they don't it CAN BE construed as breach of contract on their part. The FCC may help you with either getting a better response or get you out of your contract with Verizon with no ETF. Just know that it will take a couple of weeks to get resolved through them.

FCC, huh? I know I don't need help getting out of my contract. They blantly offered to let me out of contract on the second phone call. Either I was complaining heavily or they aren't concerned about retaining customers. I really want them to fix the problem and not just cut me loose. It's not that I can't afford to change carriers as I could sell all four of my Droids and have more than enough to go with ATT. I just don't want data caps and Tmobile and Sprint have no coverage in my area. I could hack Sprint enough so that it would work with the Verizon partnership that's in my area, but I really don't want to do that. Although, if Sprint came out here... I would be nice. lol

Well, maybe the FCC could light a fire under Verizon's a$$ and get the tower(s) fixed. Then you might not have to switch....

Maybe. I'll keep that idea on the back burner and see what happens this week. It'll be curious to see what happens when my work has to do something because my work phone is also on Verizon and I'm on call this week. LOL :/

FYI: If you do go the FCC route (I really hope you don't have to though) you will be contacted by Verizon's executive office. Telecoms have no choice but to respond quickly (and most likely in a favorable way for/to you). GL.

Well, as an update, I'm still working with Verizon in an attempt to get this matter solved. I'm starting to wonder if they haven't decomissioned a tower in the area for one reason or another because using some software with work and just knowing the general layout of my area, I can't see a Verizon cell tower for about a seven mile radius which uh, isn't right or it wasn't at one point.
Right now they have me marking my calls when they either drop, have poor call quality or can't connect at all. All I have to do is when this happens, I just dial ***** so that on the record it tells them to go back and look at the call before it. Supposedly, they can go in and look at which tower the phone used, transceiver on the tower and the node on the transceiver.
I still haven't called the FCC as I'm trying to be patient as I can be. My next step is to start turning in trouble tickets from my company's account that has something like 320 different Verizon lines. That's cell phones alone. If you threw in netbooks and air cards, you'd be looking at over 500 devices.. Maybe that would get their attention. I dunno.
