I've been checking the t-mobile website but I can't find any mention of the Vario anywhere, just the Compact. I'm right in thinking that the Vario has the keyboard??? Is it not available anymore? and anyone know of any plans to release the version with Wi-Fi soon (or does the Vario have that? I can't rememeber...)

I'm think of changing to T-mobile from Orange and want ot get the best phone I can.

Also, I've noticed that people have been talking about T-mobile customer service and the cost of it. I've just been looking at Relax 35 + web'n'walk for c. ?32 pm (with 25% for life discount) and it says customer service calls are free (see attachment). Is this true? If so I'm off from Orange asap!

It's out of stock online or via tele sales. Placed my order on 31st March, and still no joy.

Sent another e-mail yesterday, as listening to the tune they play whilst you're on hold would drive anyone to suicide after too long!

The old Web n Walk plans had an option to save ?2 or ?3 a month and pay for calls to customer services, called self-serve. That is no longer an option!

I got an email from them yesterday,

Dear Sir,

We are expecting the delivery by next week but we can not gurantee availability.

Kind regards

T-Mobile Websales

Some stores have them in stock I think, especially big-city stores.

They'd better get some in soon or I may be opting for an SP5 on o2!

No e-mail from T-Mob though!

I get the impression they're a bit overwhelmed at the moment! No wonder, according to this article in MobileToday, Flext has taken 50% of sales in the non-direct retail channel. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Actually their message was caught up by our corporate e-mail filter. When I released it, all I got was a blank message with the T-Mob logo, which was nice!

Yeah, I similarly got a blank email with a logo in it just the other day... I sat there like a prune expecting the rest of the email to download from the html source!

Just found a Vario in T-Mobile Gloucester! The very nice staff let me play with it for a while knowing full well I wasn't ready to switch provider yet. They were keen to know all about Mobiholics and Modaco too, with all the interest being shown in their services. Nice people :-)

its gone,

But, its for the best, as a new 3G MD Vario II is coming out!

More here: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/hands-o...e-mda-vario-ii/

It features a 2.1MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and windows mobile 5.0

correction: it hasn't gone, on the contrary, they've sold so many of them (as well as the 6280, which has also disappeared from the site) that there is a stock shortage.

It will be returning - and we won't be seeing the Vario II until June earliest.

I asked the shop folk about the Vario II - no news on it at all and they weren't aware it had been let loose in Germany either.

As usual - the forums seem to 'know' more than the retail outlets ever do. My contract doesn't run out til Jan 07 so I'm in no rush (yet).
