Guest Matt Kirby Posted August 14, 2006 Report Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Interesting to note that the photos above are branded 'MDA' rather than 'Vario II', and don't have the video call button (marked). The original Vario on T-Mobile is actually called the "MDA Vario", and is branded on the device as a "MDA", see here. The Compact and the Pro are also branded "MDA", seems they are sticking with that for the PPC phones! Edited August 14, 2006 by Matt Kirby
Guest Pondrew Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Yep. I was always expecting the devices official full name to be MDA Vario II. Incidentally, in case it is true that T-Mobile UK aren't releasing the other colour varients, I'm having wild ideas which involve sourcing a Vario II in black and white from Germany and flashing it with the UK Vario II rom when it comes available. I assume www.imei-check.com still CID unlock into the bargain.

They said "yes there's a press release, no there aren't any phones!" They have no date for release..... I think I might be getting from #orange soon, before they run out of stock. I think T-mobile could be another week!
Guest Confucious Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 T will have phones when it's released!
Guest proindigo Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 T will have phones when it's released! Here's my theory.... Its selling so well in Germany, that they moving uk stock to Germany to follow demand. Problem is they didn't tell the press team hence.... the press release! Friday is going to be my cut off date... Clock is ticking.

Guest The Doctor Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 12:15 AM.... no vario ii on the website :) oh vario ii, vario ii! where for art thou vario ii! phil
Guest Confucious Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Impatient buggers arent you? :) It's due out sometime in August although today has been mentioned as a release date phones very rarely seem to be released on time. I'm so glad I'm happy with my Universal and don't actually want a Vario II - otherwise I'd be the most impatient of the lot. Hehe Edited August 16, 2006 by Confucious

Guest FlangeArtist Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Gone 08:45 on Wednesday 16th, and still no sign of it on the Web site :-(
Guest The Doctor Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Gone 08:45 on Wednesday 16th, and still no sign of it on the Web site :-( 11:36.... no sign :) however i heard a release date of monday somewhere..... phil
Guest FlangeArtist Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 It's all conjecture until we hear some concrete news. Going to reframe from any more posts on this, until it's concrete!
Guest gingerprince Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 I popped into my local (Bradford) T-Mobile shop this lunchtime to enquire about these - didn't have a clue about them - neither when they're coming or what they have over the Vario! He made mention to the WnW Pro
Guest Palindrome Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 A Monday release is definitely the buzz date at T-Mobile CS.
Guest Aqu4rius Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 anyone had any joy with a confirmed release date on T-mobile? i spoke to CS and they said it was still on the coming soon screen. also rang local t-mob shop and they said possibly weds or friday. :D
Guest FlangeArtist Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 I've given up trying to wade through all of the rumours and conjectures as to launch date. Lots of people and CS people say different things. I will simply keep an eye out on this site for an announcement and also keep checking the T-Mobile Web site. Otherwise, we keep going around this same conversation of "when" and "CS said this"!

Both seem convinced its being released today, but are 'Waiting for stock...' I suppose this means they are waiting for their systems to be updated with stock allocations. I can't imagine them literally waiting for a truck to arrive packed with Vario II's, on the day of release lol! COME ON TMOBILE!

I don't like to double post, but I said this in another thread: Quote from T-Mobile business email today... "I have been informed that they are coming in to stock today, they are in our warehouse but have to pass a number of tests before they go in to stock and it is going to retail at
