I rang O2 yesterday to see about posssibly upgrading my XDAII and getting the XDAIIi but the sales operative I spoke to was less than helpful.
"we don't do that phone" was the reply.
I stated that it's on their website and that billboards all over London show it in all it's glory. He then went off to ask his manager and after a long wait, he returned and said they should have it next week!!!
What a shambles, to advertise something then not even allowing you to order it.
Is there anywhere else in UK I can order it from? Or is it just "scotch mist".
Has anybody else been luckier than me?
I am a O2 select customer (due to the amount i spend each month) (over £50 p/m automaticaly makes you a select customer) and this gets you slightley better upgrade prices. But to get my XDA2i i did the same as i did last year to get the XDA2.
I got our local o2 store to call me as soon as they had a 2i in stock, i then go to the shop and pay what ever they charge, and then a month later or when ever "select" get them in they credit my account with the differance between what i paid in a shop to what they would have sold it for.
they probley do this because they have no answer as to why cant i a select customer have a phone, but jo bogs off the street can get one in most of the o2 shops.
I went into a London O2 shop (Cheapside) on 31 Jan, and they upgraded my XDA II to a IIi on the spot. They had only received the IIi that morning, apparently. Was charged £175 (which I will significantly reduce by selling on the original device). I've been on a £25pm contract since November 03.
Good luck
Tim
It seems I may be in luck... Oxford street are holding one for me and I'm off there this afternoon to do the deed.
It's £179 so that's not too sad...
wooooohoooo!!!

What is Scotch mist?
it's a euphemism for B******t !!!!!
it's a euphemism for B******t !!!!!
I phoned up O2 UK shop, held for 20 mins, and they said they don't have any - probably not for a month or two (even though it appears you can order new ones on-line - but I wanted an upgrade which you don't appear to be able todo without phoning them.
I then phoned the two big O2 shops in Manchester and they said they don't have any either or a delivery date
I'm stuck - seems like London gets the new stuff first.
Russ
i hope they will release this thing in germany soon :evil:
i cant wait any longer
XDA IIi
I phoned O2 on Wedensday 2nd Feb and received my XDAIIi on Thursday 3rd Feb withouth a hitch. My contract is a pay up front yearly 200 mins per month peak for £150ish.
Suggest you speak to another member of staff.
Hi Folks , I agree with daash's opinion, speak to someone else
I rang O2 in the UK as I was thinking of cancelling my contract and check out the deal they offered me
XDA 2i for £100, should be £199
They will also take £10 a month off my existing £25 a month tariff and give me the Gold Insurance for £5 a month
So all I pay is for the phone is £100 and tarif & insurance is only £20 a month
The number I called was 0870 2410202, option 4 (Retentions)
Get them before they change their minds
PS Anyone want to buy an XDA2, WM 2003, Unlocked, boxed with all accessories incl PDA software and Tom Tom Navigator 3
PM me with any offers
Thanks
On monday I left me xda II in a taxi :'(
No luck in getting back but rung up o2 to cancle and get a new simcard whch have now got. They said I couldnt upgrade until june which is for a year .. they offered me £160 for xda IIi, but said they couldnt do anything until June.
Perhaps it depends on who you speak to, I dont know what commision they get for selling there phones, perhaps the phone is a price, then a top price which includes their commision, they can knock off their commisison depending on their mood?
I got a s**t motorola MX200 tempory replacement which at least connects to me pc, but not half as good as wm 2003.. Wouldnt mind getting an update for smartphone 2002.. loads of stuff it lacks in.
Hi all
I've been wanting a Polaris real bad, but I prefer the o2 Xda Orbit 2 edition over the HTC Touch Cruise, so I figured I'd buy one in Germany - but now o2online.de no longer list the phone?!
Does anyone know if they have recalled it, or what has happened? I see a few available on ebay.de and certain retailers - but frankly, I'm a bit worried about it no longer being listed on the official site...
Cheers
I received my Polaris from o2 germany on tuesday
Hello,
I orderd my polaris from o2 germany in late december and received it beginning of this week.
Thomas
o2 Xda Orbit 2 back available in Germany !
Hi all
On friday, I saw that o2 XDA Orbit 2 disappeard from o2online.de, but today it is back !
So ?!
Dont worry about it, the o2 website is always changing for no apparent reason, rung customer services yesterday and they said the 4th still
Hi,
I think that after 3 years with HTC Universal(s)(3), it's a time to change my phone!
There is nothing even close to XDA Exec so Raphael is the only alternative...
Does anyone know when I can expect this phone to hit UK market (O2)?
I was told that HTC Diamond will hit O2 by end of this week (retentions agent)- but that might not be the full story. On the plus side he knew about Raphael but didn't know any dates
Many thanks!
Cheers
Chris
I to was wondering the same
O2 Germany said they release the Touch Pro in the week of 15th september.
Any idea what o2 are calling the phone?
In Germany it will be called "o2 Xda diamond pro", guess it will be the same in the UK.
Today i found it at the O2 Homepage. It´s very expensive. https://service.o2online.de/portal?$part=Productcatalog.content.detailView&hardwareId=4510%20070033%2000&commercializationId=NewCustomerWebshopPostpaid&tariffId=O-GEN-H-L
o2 just started selling their version of the diamond "XDA Ignito" http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news4232.html
It's definitely available via o2 customer services as of today in the UK as I phoned up but they want £35 a month for 18 months = £630 minimum term and the touch diamond is £399.99 sim free most places now so I would advise get a sim free one then get a o2 sim only (simplicity) 30 day rolling contract

Hi All,
Will Orange "EVER" release the HTC Touch Pro? Searched their web, called their Helpdesk, and not one person can say if they will or NOT???
Anyone know if they will, dates for relase???
It's been released monday in France, but only for Orange Business customers. It should be available for the other clients at the end of october / start of november.
I got fed up waiting!!
So after 12 years with Orange I reluctantly jumped ship! and went to Vodafone, I Haven't looked back.
I'm on a Business plan 600 mins any network Unlimited texts & 500mb data usage, all this plus insurance for less than I was paying Orange!!
AND A FREE TOUCH PRO TOO!
Customer service is better as it's for businesses
In other words don't wait go to Vodafone.
Hmmmm
guys,
thanks for your responses....I think i may have to give Orange the one way salute!!!!! and move to Vodafone

Since middle of September it was available at Orange caraïbes in my little island, for normal customers and business customers, i got mine on late september. It's weird to see that it's available at Orange in France only with business option.
Various rumours are abound that they WONT be offering the touch pro...especially as the touch HD is already being advertised.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news4364.html
Which overall sucks. Looks like i'm off to vodafone/t-mob in the new year!

How much are you paying for that?
Let's say it differently... :
How much are you paid for ( saying ) that ?
Ciao

If you have Orange in the UK I wouldn't even be considering a Touch Pro, you guys are getting the Touch HD! Us in America cried a little bit inside when we found out it wasn't an option for us at all...
Too married to the keyboard to consider the HD.
Now an HD WITH an ultra-thin 5 row keyboard I would like very much.
I just got my orange touch pro in romania and one thing I noticed is that there is no youtube app. Why not? Is there any way to install it?
not in the uk
Just got off the phone to orange uk and so far as the person on the help desk and and upgrade center could say, there is no plan to take on the Htc touch pro as there is no information of it coming into there itnery. They have the Diamond and p6500 and are anticipating the Touch HD and Shift so it would not make a lot of sence to have another htc phone available. However they have now lost me as a customer as I move to vodafone, being that they are the only Uk company to offer the touch pro through there business shop.
I nearly went for a T-mobile G1 as I preferred the bigger and more easy to use keyboard but then remembered I hate google apps and its a google phone!
