I've heard AT&T will on Sept 3rd or 26th.. but what about T-Mobile?
T-mobile in Germany have released a pdf showing the MDA varioIII. Beta testers have been using a Kaiser locked to T-mobile. So I think it is safe to assume it will be released on T-mobile, the question is when and with what level handset subsidy?
I was told by my local T-Mobile store that it is expected late Sept.
T-Mob UK will have the Vario III (Kaiser) late Sept @ £280 upgrade price according the lady I spoke to yesterday. I've not seen anything firm on T-Mob US.

so what is the deal? is the USA one going to work with 3G? or are they using different freq/bands etc...
would i have to get it from tmobile? or could i get it say from ebay?

Seems kinda expensive. I hope that price is for a 12 month contract renewal on T-Mobiles cheapest tariff.

Good question - what tariff that price applies to, as it seems quite expensive? I've paid £80 last year for new MDA Vario II with Flext25+WnW price plan, so I expect to get Vario III as an upgrade later on January 2008 for not more than £100 with the same plan...

Just spoke to T-Mobile UK about an upgrade, at first the girl a spoke to "had no information about the Vario III" once she realised that I knew a lot about it she then "found an email" with some information about it.
she was reluctant to give me information but i managed to get out of her that is was due out "early September", she said this could mean anything, and that the price in the email did say £280.
i Said that that was quite a lot and she said that from past experience the true price will be lower and once you take you tariff into consideration it should bring that down..... here's hoping!!!! :-D
TyTN II / T-Mobile
Today they officially announced the TyTN II for early October.
Ironic, really. The first network to confirm they're getting it (however unofficially, it's been "known" for a while now) are the last to release it.
Update I just received a few minutes ago from T-Mobile Germany:
HTC Kaiser aka MDA Vario III will be available END of October.
Yipee cant wait!

Cant wait, cant wait!, Me upgrade is due around October, so fingers crossed they have it (minus delays), i might actually go for the Tytn II rather than the ameo. Ive had the mda vario, now on hermes and find the form factor excellent.
Please dont let me down, T-mobile uk!
I know, just read the press release, October!!! my Wizard has been playing up for months now and has finally died.
I've been waiting for the Kaiser for what seems like years, you cant beat T's web n' walk, but I'm seriously considering just buying the sim free HTC version and taking the £15 discount on my tariff for not taking a phone upgrade. also i don't like what T-Mobile have done with the styling.
any clues on what Vodkafone or Orange have done with there versions or are they being released as HTC branded?

Is that £15 discount off the bill actually a real deal? Does it concern *every* customer who is not willing to take new phone, or just selected ones? Can someone confirm it?
If it's real and for everyone, I will seriously consider buying HTC-branded version and then take that discount on my renewal due January.
And me too. My T-mob 12-month contract (on Hermes) has finished last month.
£15 discount means a lot for a whole year.
When i check my online account it's just there under the upgrade and renewals section...
Just noticed though, it is £15 off for 12 months, but an 18 month contract, but still that £180 over the year, and if T-Mob are going to charge £280 for the Vario III if you buy the HTC version for around £500 there isn't that much difference e.g. £280+£180=£460 for the extra £40 i think i would prefer the unbranded HTC one.
Unbranded HTC vs T-Mobile
I would seriously you suggest you rethink that, T-mobile replaced my mda Vario II Twice, no questions asked, try getting that sort of service from HTC..thet repair it and that takes months...
Conclusion:Always buy from your carrier if you can, they have an ineterest in keeping you happy.

very good point, thanks for the advice.
I'm in down in London today on business and have just found a shop that has a demo Kaiser in store. just had a bit of a play with it.
Got really mixed emotions about it now, I've been waiting for it for months and once I had it in my hands it was like "hmm, its ok" didn't really get that wow factor I was expecting.
the funny thing is, a few weeks ago when i first held the Touch i did get that wow. so now I'm questioning my self, do i NEED the qwerty, or should i wait for the Touch II

Basically i want a nexus one, not interested in paying 500+ from someone on ebay/craigslist/scammer
if you are in the south florida area, ( I live in lauderhill), and have a nexus one for sale at a reasonable price( new or used) let me know, pm me for personal contact info or email me at [email protected] thanks in advance
att or tmobile?
AT&T nor TMO sells them in the store. I live in South Florida as well, and found a new one in the Doral area in some mom and pop phone shop on Friday. If you're looking not to pay 500+ your best bet is ebay, Clist, and whatnot. Like you I don't trust those sites, and dished out $600 for mine, but I sold my MyTouch Slide for $400, so I guess I really paid $200 for mine.
If you need the number to the place where I bought mine, just PM me. Just know that you will be paying $600 for it.
Since Google still sells them on their website, why not buy it through them? You know where it is from and still have a warranty that way.
The way I understood it (which admittedly must be wrong), Google sets the contract pricing across the board. So far I've seen contract prices all over the place. I'm waiting in particular on Verizon, but I'm curious if anyone who's pre-ordered or actually purchased a phone on contract can comment with their 2-year contract price. I was expecting to pay the usual $200 contract price but now that doesn't seem likely. Here's what I've seen at the time of this post:
Sprint - 32 GB Midnight Blue = $299.99 on 2-yr contract
AT&T - ?? GB = $249.99 on 2-yr contract
T-Mobile - Coming soon
Verizon - No info
So the only two that show contract pricing so far are nowhere near the $200 everyone seems to think. With competing phones like the Note Edge being $429.99 on a Sprint contract and $399.99 on an AT&T contract, something makes me think the Nexus 6 will be pricey on Verizon too. Is there not some kind of control Google exerts over the pricing?
Att had the 32gb model
Carriers set whatever price they want ....not google ...the carriers buy the phones from Google and subsidize them to customers ....it's up to carriers that is why nexus is 50 bucks more from Sprint full retail because they have to make money on it
If Google ever sells them in Canada think I may buy one.
Google say 64Gig Black is out of stock (they all are)
Question
I know they cost $799 plus tax, S/H if Google sell me one; does Future Shop or Rogers Plus sell them now?
I would hate buying from my Carrier.
Hi.
I'm planing on visiting London in the new year, and I want to buy there the Nexus 6. Buying it in IL will cost much more... So where could I find it? How much it'll cost? As a tourist, will I be able to get the taxes back? And does the phones sold in the UK are unlocked, off contract and international?
Thanks. (and sorry for my bad English, it's not my native...)
Carphone warehouse would most likely have it in stock by then in white black 32/64GB These are internationally unlocked . However that being said you need to check what bands your network uses but the N6 is a band powerhouse .
It costs £500 and £550 respectively depending on the GB variant, see below for different currency conversions:
INS: 3103.15 3413.46
Dollars: $779 $856.90
Euros: €634.06 €697.46
Regarding getting tax back after a quick Google it looks like you can claim back the 20% as you live outsite the EU. Please see http://www.heathrowairport.com/stat...ual_PDF/VAT_Refunds/vat-refund-leaflet_EN.pdf
