Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 OK, I realise this is the worst kept secret anyway, but having phoned tmob, they are now confirming that the device WILL be on T-Mobile UK, and has a release date of "August" Not the most shocking news in the world I know, but at least its confirmed now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rpopo Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Since the Vario 2 is going to be very popular (though admittedly this forum is not necessarily representative of the average user base) has anyone got bright ideas on the best way to guarantee getting one of the first batch? - I'm switching from Orange to T-mobile once I get one of these. Do you think T will have a waiting list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt Kirby Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sorry to go all "me too!", but I'm also wanting to switch from Orange to T-Mob, contract's just up, and the Vario II / Hermes with the WnW Pro bundle sounds like the one for me. I imagine that T-Mob will be hammered with requests for the Hermes as it'll be a great handset to go with thier improved data deals. Here's hoping!

Guest rpopo Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 t-mobile have confirmed that there isn't a waiting list for the Vario II, so it's cross fingers and wait. Hopefully their supply will be better than the Orange M600! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I read somewhere on here that Orange were launching it too (although the post on here said July 24th?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Perfectionist Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yup, we'll all be holding one in our hands in a few weeks :) But anybody know what the pricing will be ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sleighty Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I found this site.... http://www.affinitypartnerships.com/spv_m3100_orange.htm contacted them about pre-order but they couldn't say when it will be available. I have been told I get it free on upgrade with 10% off current line rental. Guess I must be paying too much for my M500 already then!

Guest jimbouk Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just spoken the both Orange and Tmobile - as I am up for renewal on 1st August. Orange's Hermes - the SPV3100 isnt on their system yet - and is thus at least some weeks away. Tmobile are now quoting September for the Vario 2. I guess I will stick with my JAMin for another two months and then go with a Vario 2 from Tmobile, who will give me 1000 mins to share between two handsets, 200 texts, and 2 gb of data all for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimbouk Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Jimbouk, how do you go about setting up a talkshare with TMob and what tariffs are available? Could I share the top FlexT tariff? Can you share data and texts too? I just rang them and said I had two numbers/phones to move, they quoted me 1000 mins, 200 texts between the two phones for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonclark123 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi You cannot share a Flext tariff. However Business-1 tariffs can be shared and seem fairly competitively priced. You can add on text bundles to be shared between the mobiles. You can also add on data bundles (although it may be more cost effective to add Web'n'Walk bundles to each user instead). Calls between sharers are free. Calls to Zones 1,2 and 3 come out of inclusive mins (ie USA, Canada, much of Europe).

Waiting to see what Orange say next week just tried the upgrade enquiry form on that site....this is the reply i got. "Hi Dean the only thing is that the spv3100 is not quiet out yet so you can pre order or chose another phone but there is no date for when it does come out so if you do like to do anything please let me know..." I could pre order but would prefer it on tmob... decisions decisions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bronksy Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 and away we go with speculation.. I nevrer quite get what the issue is with PPC devices.. they know the OS 'works' the same way that other WM5 devices work on O. I thought the whole point of windows mobile was that it would ensure more efficient roll outs of kit. O should try and be 1st to market with these devices.. it's the only thing that will keep us lot happy, and we're the ones who are spenders..Even if they have to forgo some 'testing'. They should release, then have more frequent firmware updates.. Essentially its the bloody same as the Universal and other WM5 devices.. it's just so they can add their mucky homescreen which we all disable like some sort of mass ritual post hard-reset.. you all know the routine... hard reset cos you've been putting crappy software on it.. disable error reporting disable homescreen etc..
