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.
I can't help but to notice that i-mate has totally died out in the UK, and probably Europe. I just haven't seen a single unit in any proper retail stores (but I did spot a second hand Ultimate 6150 on Tottenham Court Road a little while back).
I guess they've given up since they dropped HTC? Not loving UK anymore? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyone still fans of i-mate?
think they moved to dubai
and then hong kong or something
and they went broke or was close to
their HQ has always been in Dubai.
they recently had a trade show in Singapore and apparently signed a deal with a Singapore mobile network company.
I deal with I-Mate.
I have an email from their US rep, which he sent to me on February 28, 2008 that everything should be out within the next 2 months. I am holding that to him, trust me.
We shall see.
Update: The Vario IV "is in testing at the moment and won't be available until the end of September"
As yet, "there is no stock or pricing information available to anyone at t-mobile"
Obviously, if anyone else rings up they will probably be told something completely different.
I will keep trying every 7 days.
MDA vario IV
I think that they are saying end of September to be on the safe side.
T-Mobile announced the Vario IV before the Touch Pro, they must of been testing it for weeks now I think that it may come out in August. They may release it on the quiet.
How long did it take for the Compact IV to come out after the Diamond?

That's the thing about call centres, large companies and the people who pay for it all to exist.
The company never treats the front line staff with enough respect to give them the information they need to do their job efficiently.
See the very recent debacle of t-mobile sending out the Diamond instead of the Vario.
This leads to a huge drop in efficiency and a lack of information which causes some of the first line staff to talk rubbish in a pointless
attempt to gain kudos from having 'inside' information. The only other people to be impressed by this are other first line staff.
That's all I get for paying t-mobile over £800 per year, I guess
I see htcdirect have also brought their date forward to the 4th of August too.
http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=418
I'm thinking this is probably the real date now as several firms that were listing 30th August have now started showing the 4th.

Nah, it just means they don't have any stock and they are changing their dates to reflect what other companies with no stock are saying so it looks like they have stock.
Devicewire.co.uk is run by the UK's Brightpoint subsidiary. That's why they got the first official UK Diamond stocks, and they show 1st September. I'll go with devicewire every time, knowing that they are run by the main European distributor, thanks muchly. when Device wire shows 4th august, i might believe it.
And no, they don't have them in stock yet.
So where do we reckon Expansys will get their dodgy early grey import stock from this time then??
I'll be in for one as an upgrade, wonder what T-mobile will offer it to me for ????

Called T-Mobile!
I just called T-Mobile about an upgrade asked about the Vario IV. He had no idea what I was talking about he even tried to sell me the compact IV and I had to pay £40 for the handset. Yeah right! The price that I'm looking for when I upgrade is free. lol
Devicewire now have their stocking coming in date as the 18th August now.
If you want more information on my dealings with T mobile head office then please visit my blog as i have already put some information on there, plus will be updating it as and when the lady from the directors office gets in touch with me.

Yep, the customer service monkeys seem to think you don't know what you're talking about when asking for the Vario IV and tell you about the Compact IV instead.
Durr @ them.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
Verizon in May and all the rest first week of June
In France, may 12, with SFR (Vodafone).
Don't know if the phone will be available unlocked or only with a contract
i use to buy my phone without any contract
Really on 12th may?
I hope sim free versions will be out on this period, though I will wait for the price to fall and of course the root
I've already ordered mine with Vodafone Spain. They told me I should receive it in 1 or 2 weeks... we'll see...
Vodafone NL said I'd get it week 19, delayed to week 21 now...
in France SFR officially announced the sensation
price will start at 199€ (with cash back of 100€) so 99€ with a contract
it will be sold first online , starting may 12, and one week later in SFR (vodafone) stores
if you want to buy an off contract phone, you will have to wait for mid june
off contract price will be between 529€ 549€.
it seems that the back cover colour will change with country.
The french version will not include HTC watch

Greetings from Ulft
VF Germany. 16.May.2011.
I doubt they will release it next week but I hope I am wrong!
The sooner they release it, the sooner the devs will find a way to root it
Here in Belgium it will be released on June 3.
Link to it

Last rumour i heard was june 8th UK, but i can't remember if that was vodafone or o2, doesn't mean much to me i want sim free.
Delivery 19th May on Vodafone!
Vodafone are aiming to deliver on 19th May!!!
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-sensation?WT.srch=1&cid=ppc-goo-h-c72-10696-ex

I wonder if they'll give this to me for free on a £20p/m 12 month plan!
Handtec already published the phone's price
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...ocked-black-/31b2e6ddca0b926603bbead57f0b0d78
Nice, it's a bit cheaper than the SGSII. Can't wait till this phone is finally going to be released to try it out.
