Anyone know when this phone will be out on T-Mobile in the UK? I have seen references to an MDA Vario Compact 4 but no dates.
I spoke to someone about a weekago and they said the were no planned new releases in the MDA range. I just moved from them to o2 for the orbit2, much much better than the compact 2 I was using
I'm gonna leave Tmobile too. I wanted to upgrade from Vario II to Vario III, but being as I'm only a loyal customer who's been with them for 2 years, they wanted £270 for it!!! Very tempted by the Orbit 2 with the bolt on online upgrade promotion to web access. How is O2's web access compared to Tmobiles?

I spoke to O2 UK customer services today and they confirmed the Xda Orbit (aka HTC Artimis/P3300) is now on their system and has a launch date of 27/11/2006. So not just O2 Germany, now O2 UK as well!!!!!
good news
good news, i was just thinking about upgrading to the xda exec. The orbit sounds much better for my needs. Did he mention any costs? execs are going for about 150 with new contract on o2, i hope the orbit is similarly priced.
I've been using the i-Mate JAM for almost 2 years. Decided to bypass the Wizard and wait for the next generation device (preferably with 3G). I am on T-MO and have grandfathered unlimited data plan for $19.99. For the last 2 weeks I tried the Dash and although I loved the device in general (especially phone part of it) it doesn't do it for me. The shortcomings of the Outlook (no notes synchronization, notes field in Contacts does not exist and notes in the Tasks and Events only sync one way) and luck of software I am used to on ppc phone are my problems. I would love to the get the 3G, but T- MO does not have it yet, which means I would have to move to the Cingular. I looked into their data plans and to pay $40 for the unlimited plan seems ridiculous for me. But even using Edge on the Dash made me jealous. It is noticeably faster than the GPRS I have.
So what do you think? Should I get the TyTN and use it for now on T-MO with Edge and wait until 3G will become available or should I get an MDA with 1 year contract? Is there anyone who is using the TyTN on T-MO?
Any advice would be appreciated.
The TyTN on T-Mobile is the MDA Vario II - at least in Europe.
Just checked the O2 website and the XDA Zinc is on the coming soon list due for release in Jan. Did some research and this looks like the handset to replace my Mini S (wizard).
Anybody have a Zinc yet? What are your thoughts?
I'd quite like to get this however I'm not sure about sticking with o2. The MDA Vario II on T-Mobile seems much more attractive with the web and walk tariff

Totally agree but T-Mobile call quality/coverage is crap compared to O2 (in London at least!).
Is it possible to get a Blackberry tariff and use it in an xda? I've noticed that they have unlimited data tariffs at reasonable prices, but I'm not sure if it would work in an xda and if it covers that type of data usage
not sure, good shout though. I was even considering get the handset and picking up a 3 sim card, they have got good deals at the mo and also offer unlimited data access. Not sure the sim would work in the handset though.....
Just spoke to customer services, release date is 15 Jan however no new data packages
I rang o2 and asked them if they could match the T-Mobile offer. They said for £36 a month I could get 36mb of data. They pretty much told me to go with T-Mobile...decided that's what I will do!

I had a simular conversation, my contract is up in jan so i will have to reconsider.
Also does anybody know if the Zinc has a jog wheel / dial like the TyTyn?
does anybody have any links to reviews of this handset ?
just spoke to O2 and the new release date is March! even though their website still says jan!

I know its being released on o2 as xda orbit II, but is it being relased by any other carriers- notably t-mobile or orange??
o2 tariffs are crap, and my orange contract finishes soon, t-mobile flext/web-n-walk is excellent.
thanks.
I just got the Top Cat on t-mobile thanks to expansys uk. Cost me +£100 on top of the tariff.

T Mobile are releasing the HTC Diamond as the MDA Compact IV. So no branded Touch Cruise version I'm afraid.
I have the O2 orbit, which I am selling to a friend.
I wanted to get a O2 orbit II. Does anyone here now where I can get one?? I have tried Ebay however it is rare for any of them listed to want to sell to the US..
Anyone know where to get one or selling one??
Thanks,
