So, who's got a Diamond pre-orderd. If so - where and how much?
I ordered mine from Expansys last week when the price was still: £443.70.
Expected Thu June 19th.
Also pre-ordered the stand from Clove: https://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct...Category=CB077B5C-390D-4153-8EDD-44D1B2BEF716

Put my voice to the request for a new Diamond forum
I may be going to the online UK site to get the phone also (if I have no success in Singapore first week of June!).

T-Mobile will carries Diamond
I read somewhere that HTC Diamond will be coming to one of the major wireless carriers in the U.S, and it will likely be t-mobile. I hope they are right, because for $299 with 2 years contract for this beauty with T-mobile. How sweet is that?
You have to be having a laugh, a two year contract and purchase price of $299 they are taking the p*ss
I wouldn't bother to be honest it is a lot of cash for a yesterday type device, the spec just doesn't come up to the standard I would need to switch from the 18 month old P3300 Artemis or either of the newer devices I am currently using - Mike

A sales guy at 02 told me that they would be releasing the Polaris on the 3rd Jan, 2008 in the UK for the new year with new tariffs, can someone confirm this? I can't mind it being mentioned any where on any site.
It is listed in the Coming Soon section as Orbit 2. Don't trust the picture though since it's more likely will look like this.
Yeah so it looks like it will be coming out on the third of Jan, thanks.
Was told the 18th of Jan last week
The more realistic date for release in UK will be end Jan or early Feb.
Cheers

It's in their latest brochure now....
I was told it would available around mid Jan.
No TomTom however - just CoPilot and thats only on certain tariffs
I'm on an O2 Corporate tariff through my employer. According to the "Coming Soon" spreadsheet they send us the Orbit 2 will be available W/C 21st Jan.

I see this one is all black nice. I would've considered O2 but they don't have good data plans.

Same, t-mobile looks promising though...
o2 data plan is now 7.50 for unlimited (200MB) - since november.
this is a lot better than the 15 quid for 36MB that i have been paying!
yeah the black version on o2s coming soon page looks very very nice
Expansys are offering the TC on O2 contracts !
If you don't want the Orbit 2, this seems a good alternative !
Here's the link:
http://www.expansys.com/b.aspx?i=159608
O2 prices look.. pricey
Looks like o2 are pricing the Orbit 2 quite high compared to v1 ??
I think the Orbit 2 looks better than the Cruise which I was after but I ideally wanted it on TMobile as webnwalk is less restrictive.
Anyone know how good O2's data plan is? Or are Tmobile taking on this device anytime soon?
thanks
o2 £7.50 for 200Mb

thanks - am I right in thinking that you cannot use it as a modem or use messaging/streaming etc on O2? TMobile have a webnwalk plus but Im not sure how much I will use these features.... hmmm decisions.
I use my XDA Orbit (Artimis) as a modem when I'm on the train, much better than IE on the phone

But it appears more expensive than the Orbit will be for the same monthly rate

Now that looks sweet!
I've been following the Touch Cruise threads for a while waiting for a release on a UK network, and the O2 Orbit 2 looks the bees knees. Only problem is I'm on Orange with an unlimited data plan, 1000 minutes, 300 texts, insurance and free answerphone, all for around £50 per month and fear O2 won't be able to match this.
I'd swap to O2 for this phone if the 3G coverage is as good as Orange. What can I expect from O2's 3G service?
Don't know if someone posted this before, but here you can buy the Touch Pro for 628€ (no surprise).
Releasedate week 33.
http://www.netintro.be/N_frame.html?http://www.netintro.be/Touch-Pro-N_grp_14_21_219-1.html
Week 33? What on Earth does that mean? And I sure hope that price stays the same number when it comes to US Dollars, because that would put it at the same price as the AT&T Tilt w/ a 2 year service agreement.
But any news that is not of a US Release Date on any carrier is no news.

We are now week 27, so this means in 5 weeks => second week of august.
Ah I never thought of it that way. But then again I would just give the "week of" and be done with it.
Just like o2 previously did, there is now the 'cheap desire s' going!
http://phonetitan.com/deal-orange-uk-knocks-htc-desire-s-price-down-to-240/
£240 - Free phone. 24 month contract. £10 a month.
30 minutes, unlimited texts... not bad for £240?
BUT:
Can you use quidco cashback with it?! :O
http://www.quidco.com/orange/
That would bring the phone down (with tariff) to £160?!?!?!
Does quidco work for it?????
How can i track it?
Is the desire s on orange sim-free? (or will it be easy to debrand/unlock?!?)
I see no way to buy the desire s for £240
dialafone are selling the old Desire for £249 on PAYG

what do you mean? is this deal reliable or not?
There is a huge thread about this on HotUKDeals website. I ordered on Saturday, but still waiting to receive confirmation. They have since pulled the deal as they probably got too many orders than they can actually handle.

hello everyone,
I just saw that Handtec has reduced their VAT free price for the sensation from 414.99 to 399.99 I had to pay the original price for my pre-order!
Well that's bad news I guess but they just changed the expected date for stock from the 27th to the 20th
Anyone else who pre-ordered the Sensation from Handtec?
I pre-ordered in early May from them. But I also Pre-Ordered at Expansys, so when their price is announced I'll keep one & cancel the other.
But Shouldn't Handtec re-fund the difference?

Handtec do have a price promise. Check the price on day of release - if it is lower than what you have paid, then contact them and they will refund the difference. I've done this twice now...
Oh sweet they really did reduce the price. they are listing 2 versions which of them is the vodafone one
Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda
32gb on ebay for £419.99
guys in UK, if you want the 32gb, there is some from HongKong selling 5 on eBay
£419.99 for 1
