Xda Trion in UK
Is it available now????
https://shop.o2.co.uk/ComingSoon
Cheers,
That's interesting. They're a bit late to the UK market with it. T-Mobile and Orange have had the device available for months.
Week starting 22nd April, thats what they say but trust me, when we get to the 22nd it will then change to being May sometime.

There's no reason for that to be the case as the device has now been available for ages on other networks. It's not like it's a completely new one where this does indeed happen a lot.
Anyone else order from Expansys?
I bought one from Devicewire.co.uk, and it is on its way, due here tomorrow,
BUT then I have this Expansys order....
The happily took my bank transfer....(so they have my money since December) told me multiple dates for shipping... have pushed and pushed and came up with excuses of why they havent sent it to me even when thay had it IN stock...
anyway, now i see that if i look at my order on their website it says 2 days until they get it, BUT on their website if you just look at the touch cruise product page it says 1 day...
WTF???
I pre-ordered and prepaid. some people already got the phone from Expansys, the came up with excuses for their mess-ups as to why i didnt get mine... these people are obviously not good to do business with.
Anyone know, by whatever means, if Expansys.se will actually have the Touch Cruise tomorrow? (or are their dates being pushed to Feb like everyone else, and they are just too chicken sh#t to admit it?)
bad business, bad bad business Expansys
Devicewire.co.uk is the best!!!
Folks,
I've seen that the Diamond will be available via Expansys and other sites mid June (I can mail order from where I am in Switzerland; probably for end June delivery if lucky). However, I'm on business in Singapore first week of June (1-6). Are there any forum members based in Singapore that know if the phones will be available already during that week (and perhaps, where so I can go along and buy)?
Thanks and regards,
Gary.
[bump]
No one that side of the world with contacts in SimLim or other similar technology centres?

The wait is finally over:
O2 Shop
My-XDA
I say the wait is over, what I actually mean is that as a result of O2's 3 separate systems, you either need to (pretend to) be a business customer or be a new customer. Either way it's out, you just need to be lucky to speak to the 'right' advisor .
Post away any deals you receive.
ps. The phone was in fact released on the 6th of this month as originally forecast, they simply chose not to make it available .
Must be soon
I am an O2 exec customer (fool - big bills) and I got a call from O2 couple of weeks ago confirming that it was coming out on the 3rd of November and offered to send me one as soon as it was available. I still have not received it but will keep you posted. It must be soon now
i just called the customer service and the lovely lady said it will be released some time next week. The other lady told me it will be released on next tuesday
Ooh, now I'm not normally a fan of operators putting their own branding/colours into the interfacem but that blue TF3D looks reeeaaal purdy
O2 Forums all say it's out. Many have already ordered and are awaiting delivery .
Nope just called them and it is not out yet The release date they have on their system is 10th November but none have become available. I have been promised a handset as soon as it becomes available so I will let you know when I have more news.
Hi all,
Release date for the HD2 on O2 was yesterday, I have been trying my utmost to get hold of one of these. Does anyone know any insider information?
I seem to be getting different info from different O2 reps.
I WANT ONE NOW!
Nobody knows - but the best guess at the moment is next week at the earliest. O2 just can't seem to answer a straight question different representatives giving different answers. It could come out this afternoon but nobody knows
looks like its been delayed until november now

based on what?
Gonna phone them again. They are all saying its due this week but can't tell me when. They say only once it shows on the system can they price it etc.
Next rep has said they are conducting tests on it and it will be released on the 26th November. I am so bloody impatient!

i know it's terrible waiting! i am so DESPERATE for this phone lol
Getting around all the hype, I don't think the Palm Pre has been a fantastic seller for them and I think if the HD2 drops now it will leave them with a lot of unsold Pre's.... so they are holding it back for the that reason (pure guesswork on my part).

The HD2 was supposed to be "in the final stages of acceptance testing" last week.

How they expected the Pre to sell as well as their marketing implies that they expected it to, is a mystery to me - the Pre offers very little new or exciting, with the OS being the only real exception (and I've heard a wide range of opinions on the OS). The problem is, if they hold back the HD2, they're going to end up not selling many of those as most people who want one will have moved to a different network or got one unlocked (O2 is one of the worse networks now IMHO - presumably they spent all of their money on iPhone exclusivity and subsidisation rather than improving their network and offering good deals).
Why doesn't the BBC interview O2 about the HD2 instead of wasting time interviewing them about the Pre?
I agree

I think you might jus be right on that one my friend hopefully that wil teach them next time not be greedy and try to stock every handset under the sun
Yes, been pushed back to 3rd week November. However none of the reps I have spoken to are absolutely sure when it will be out, nor what the final pricing structure will be.
I am assuming they will definitely be out by December to catch the Xmas traffic.
WB
Lol,
they will be selling it on estonia at late october on early november.
T-mobile is also selling them on 6 Nov according to them. I guess O2 thinks they are special and people will wait for them
Keep an eye on this thread guys.
Ok, WHOS calling o2 everyday (Multiple times) like me?

How do you know? One of the early excuses for an ambiguous date was that O2 didn't want the HD2 to hurt Pre sales. However, there's clearly a lot more demand for the HD2 and a lot less demand for the Pre than they expected, so O2 might decide to fast-track the HD2.
Latest from o2;
I called customer services and spoke to a guy who said they will definitely be getting stock over the weekend and it will definitely be on sale on the 26th October. I have now spoken to quite a few o2 reps and none have sounded as positive as this one. He didn't even have to go and ask a supervisor/manager/buyer........
We shall see!

Thing is, they were originally planning to launch the HD2 on 12th October, so that blows your theory out of the water. See here:

and various other news reports.

Of course he didn't have to ask a supervisor. He was just telling you what you wanted to hear so he could get you off the line and move on to the next customer with a genuine need of assistance.
I'm not trying to be nasty, but there's no way the HD2 will be on sale from O2 on Monday, when none of the e-tailers are getting it until 11th November at the earliest. So for the next month or so, why don't you be patient, leave the poor call centre staff alone and get on with enjoying your life. It's only a phone.
