New to the forums, so hi all!
Just wondering if anyone knows the best way to get a tytn 2 in australia? has anyone ordered? if so where is the best place to order online?
Thanks,
Shane
I have one on order with Expansys. They are saying early Oct. for Aus edition but pricing not confirmed as yet. I'm thinking about getting from UK instead...
expansys.com.au
First shipment announced on the site at 17 September, next on 23 September. Price not announced yet.
thanks guys.
anyone know if/when it will be released on 3?
I spoke with HTC Australia yesterday and they confirmed its due to be released this month.
Compatability with Next G
It will be good to get some feedback on the suitability of the TyTN 2 on Telstra's Next G network.
As I understand it, the TyTN 2 are not a compatable or supported handset on Next G.-according to Telstra.
But give them time and they may come around.
I am especially looking forward to the posts on this one.
Is it true that the Communications Minister (-Senator Coonan ) wants to extend the CDMA deadline past February? And Telstra is hopping mad about that and wants to sue?
If it is, the only problem is: she makes the laws for her Dept.
We live in funny times.

I've heard AT&T will on Sept 3rd or 26th.. but what about T-Mobile?
T-mobile in Germany have released a pdf showing the MDA varioIII. Beta testers have been using a Kaiser locked to T-mobile. So I think it is safe to assume it will be released on T-mobile, the question is when and with what level handset subsidy?
I was told by my local T-Mobile store that it is expected late Sept.
T-Mob UK will have the Vario III (Kaiser) late Sept @ £280 upgrade price according the lady I spoke to yesterday. I've not seen anything firm on T-Mob US.

so what is the deal? is the USA one going to work with 3G? or are they using different freq/bands etc...
would i have to get it from tmobile? or could i get it say from ebay?
or maybe those from Germany on ebay

Seems kinda expensive. I hope that price is for a 12 month contract renewal on T-Mobiles cheapest tariff.

Good question - what tariff that price applies to, as it seems quite expensive? I've paid £80 last year for new MDA Vario II with Flext25+WnW price plan, so I expect to get Vario III as an upgrade later on January 2008 for not more than £100 with the same plan...

Just spoke to T-Mobile UK about an upgrade, at first the girl a spoke to "had no information about the Vario III" once she realised that I knew a lot about it she then "found an email" with some information about it.
she was reluctant to give me information but i managed to get out of her that is was due out "early September", she said this could mean anything, and that the price in the email did say £280.
i Said that that was quite a lot and she said that from past experience the true price will be lower and once you take you tariff into consideration it should bring that down..... here's hoping!!!! :-D
TyTN II / T-Mobile
Today they officially announced the TyTN II for early October.
Ironic, really. The first network to confirm they're getting it (however unofficially, it's been "known" for a while now) are the last to release it.
Update I just received a few minutes ago from T-Mobile Germany:
HTC Kaiser aka MDA Vario III will be available END of October.
Yipee cant wait!

Cant wait, cant wait!, Me upgrade is due around October, so fingers crossed they have it (minus delays), i might actually go for the Tytn II rather than the ameo. Ive had the mda vario, now on hermes and find the form factor excellent.
Please dont let me down, T-mobile uk!
I know, just read the press release, October!!! my Wizard has been playing up for months now and has finally died.
I've been waiting for the Kaiser for what seems like years, you cant beat T's web n' walk, but I'm seriously considering just buying the sim free HTC version and taking the £15 discount on my tariff for not taking a phone upgrade. also i don't like what T-Mobile have done with the styling.
any clues on what Vodkafone or Orange have done with there versions or are they being released as HTC branded?

Is that £15 discount off the bill actually a real deal? Does it concern *every* customer who is not willing to take new phone, or just selected ones? Can someone confirm it?
If it's real and for everyone, I will seriously consider buying HTC-branded version and then take that discount on my renewal due January.
And me too. My T-mob 12-month contract (on Hermes) has finished last month.
£15 discount means a lot for a whole year.
When i check my online account it's just there under the upgrade and renewals section...
Just noticed though, it is £15 off for 12 months, but an 18 month contract, but still that £180 over the year, and if T-Mob are going to charge £280 for the Vario III if you buy the HTC version for around £500 there isn't that much difference e.g. £280+£180=£460 for the extra £40 i think i would prefer the unbranded HTC one.
Unbranded HTC vs T-Mobile
I would seriously you suggest you rethink that, T-mobile replaced my mda Vario II Twice, no questions asked, try getting that sort of service from HTC..thet repair it and that takes months...
Conclusion:Always buy from your carrier if you can, they have an ineterest in keeping you happy.

very good point, thanks for the advice.
I'm in down in London today on business and have just found a shop that has a demo Kaiser in store. just had a bit of a play with it.
Got really mixed emotions about it now, I've been waiting for it for months and once I had it in my hands it was like "hmm, its ok" didn't really get that wow factor I was expecting.
the funny thing is, a few weeks ago when i first held the Touch i did get that wow. so now I'm questioning my self, do i NEED the qwerty, or should i wait for the Touch II

Any ideas on what the maximum upgrade price is from T-mobile UK?
I am on Flext 35 with web'n'walk and it cost £100 for the upgrade.
Thanks for that- gives me a rough idea now.
So when will it arrive? where?

Oi. That was my expedition to the store. Ah, well, I'm on the list of people they're going to contact when they have some. Hehe...One guy remembered that I purchased my Touch there a year ago...
INKINO do tend to get these devices first, in London
The websites shipping to uk are saying 6h june, 9th june or 19th june.
I suspect that friday 6th june and monday 9th june are the same, and maybe the sites that got stock from the first supply to the uk. That sounds consistent with the sites saying 6th/9th, as they have had stock first with previous devices. The 19th June sounds like stock from the second round of supply to the UK.
I've pre-ordered from htcdirect.co.uk for the 6th, because i saw it before incino and a friend has used them before. I would probably recommend using inkino first only because they are listed on the htc page as official sellers.
its already out!! im in Australia and already have mine
cool!

T-Mobile will release the MDA Compact IV fully branded T-Mobile the first week in July. However I can see ther being some problems as always with T-Mobile and it will probably be middle to end of July early August.
Local shop here tells me it will be here in Spain next week... bring it on!!
looks like we will have the English version in Hong Kong early next week, namely 2/June
Hi, I'm In HK on a business trip next week (fortunatly) where would you recommend going to buy this phone?
Devicewire.com will have it on June 9th in UK

Subject: Question about HTC Touch Diamond availability
Hello,
I am very interested in purchasing HTC Touch Diamond once it is available. As a matter of fact I would pre-order it if you could answer me how certain you are that you will have them in stock on June 9th? I am asking this because most of the other retailer sites state that they will have it on June 19th.
Also I would like to know is it going to be a retail version with 192 MB and not 128 MB of RAM memory? Will you have that excellent HTC slip case available, also, since it is not included in the box?
Hi,
I placed a pre order for the Diamond about 3 weeks ago from HTC direct. They where supposed to be receiving stock tomorrow (6th June).
Sadly i received this email from them this afternoon. At least they might be more reliable!!
"We have just been informed by the only official distributor of HTC products in the UK that the HTC Touch Diamond is now expected to come in on 17th June. The reason for the delay is a last minute software fix that needed to be applied. We appreciate that you have already been waiting a long time for this device, but it is better that known issues are dealt with at source rather then with a later ROM update or patch.
Please be aware that there are some grey-imports available in the UK. These are sourced from the Asian Market and thus come with warranty issues. HTC will not entertain warranty related repairs in the EU. Also, they only have a one year warranty. Also, they shipped without the software fix.
Be assured that your pre-order will be dealt with on the day the stock arrives."
I wonder if they're making sure every evice has the un-flashable spl?
euro spec devices i also heard will have different bands

I thought Asia and Europe used the same bands or have I misunderstood something?

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone know if any UK providers (o2 ideally as that's who I have my OP3 with) will be stocking the OP5 from launch on contract? Not due for an upgrade but would happily cover the £300 left on my device plan to pick up the OP5.
o2 won't confirm anything but hoping there could be an inside-man (or woman) with some knowledge.
Thanks
No doubt o2 will stock it again since no one else has picked up the 3T

I work for O2 as one of their instore technicians also have a Oneplus3, got it via oneplus.net before o2 announced the partnership and there is no news yet about anything related to Oneplus 5 probably due to the phone not being announced yet. Remember companies sign non disclosure agreements so it isn't exactly encouraged to talk about things not even announced to exist yet.
Cheers for the replies.
I spoke to LiveChat again today just to ask a question regarding pre-ordering the device once its announced (So I pay off the device plan and get the new OP5) and the reply I was given basically said when the device is announced on the site there will be instructions on how existing customers can pre-book the upcoming device.
From that it sounds like O2 are taking on the OP5 from launch!
