Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 It could be just a vicious rumour, but our spies in the field are reporting that the country is about to be invaded by subtly-Orange branded HTC Diamonds and T-Mobile MDA Compact IV's this coming weekend! Be vigilant people, and please do report any sightings here in this topic as quickly as possible. Remember - don't have nightmares! :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be vigilant people, and please do report any sightings here in this topic as quickly as possible. Remember - don't have nightmares! :D P Very good news! I just called Orange and spoke to them. They told me they expect the release date on the 7th July both online/phone/in shops. I called TMO and they said, "we arent sure. we have no release date. check the website" Soooo. that is all the info I could get. Anyone else know anything. Im eager to get my new phone.

Guest blackhorse Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Some Orange stores are hoping to get their first deliveries tomorrow.... but only a few to the lucky one.s Top 100 Orange Shops are expecting arrival any time. Im not allowed to say when as its data confidential, but the handset has been ready at banbury warehouse for some time now! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krip Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Some Orange stores are hoping to get their first deliveries tomorrow.... but only a few to the lucky one.s Visited Orange Croydon this morning. Branch Manager was expecting delivery today but confirmed they haven't received any (They are one of the 'top' or 'preferred' shops). He says these preferred shops will receive some of the 400 initial units. He said next delivery is not until Wednesday (same for all shops). What's more frustrating is that they're not willing to give me (a customer of 3 to 4 years) any better deal than a new customer gets. -Krip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr Who Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 What's more frustrating is that they're not willing to give me (a customer of 3 to 4 years) any better deal than a new customer gets. -Krip That, the fact that they pointedly refused to replace a non-working handset for 2 months, the fact they didn't have a transparent or universally available cheap data package and the fact they are generally shan was what prompted me to go to TMob 2 years ago. never a problem since.

Guest leshemnoam Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 talked to t-mob CS and they still don't know when the diamond will be available. phoned up Oxford st branch and was told it will be next month or the month after that.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are willing to discuss a deal when they get it in, so they have good customer service. Take note Orange! -Krip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tmorel Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 The Branch Manager in the Bullring Birmingham recognised me as being #2 on his list for the Diamond but said he doesn't expect anything before Wednesday :D [but he get's bonus points for remembering a customer from over a month ago] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
