Guest pete.major Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 snip... I just rang the Cardiff store out of interest to see what info they were giving. I got through to a girl who told me it would be released in October or November, in Quarter 3... Actually I've asked in THREE tmobile stores and all three employees gave the same answer... November! They're getting this date from somewhere. If they're guessing it would be unlikely they'd guess the same month. I'm also suspicous about this "we're just testing it now, it'll be out tomorrow". Testing is more than just pushing a few buttons and releasing the thing... it's month(s) of tweaking and repeated tests. Sound like gibberish to me.

Guest Snoopstah Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Equally, the two T-Mobile stores I've asked have both said it's released this month but they'll probably only get stock at the beginning of next month. I think it's safe to say that nobody really knows - however, it can't be argued that it's out in Germany, which means the majority of testing has been complete - any remaining testing will be merely to check anything that differs between the German and UK variants of the device.

I was told that the three month long test had been completed and this was just the final test of the first delivery batch to check they had all the correct UK settings and software etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickwookie Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 What you need to understand, is that T-Mobile staff are NOT told when the handset is going to be released (other than the month in which it will be released). The official line is, to tell the customer to keep trying. This is why every time any of you call, you are being told to call back in 'x' days, or on 'y' day. I realise few of you will believe me, and continue to waste your time calling CS - but you're not going to get an accurate answer this way. I am a lot more clued up than your average CS bod so please take my word for it. :) Surely CS have to know at some point, don't they? Like when they actually have a delivery. How is it a waste of time calling CS? As soon as the devices ARE released isn't it a good idea to get one ASAP before they go out-of-stock like Orange's M3100? But then again what would I know? I'm even less clued up than your average CS bod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Snoopstah Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Just look on the business pages instead of the personal pages: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menui...ness_im_wnw_pro You can either choose a WnW Pro contract, which comes with a 3G datacard for your laptop.

Guest marisa4755 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Just called CS and they said that definitely in the next 24 to 48 hours, almost certainly by Monday! Keep an eye on the website! They can't take pre-orders as it's not 'on the system' The website & system could be updated at any time! Anyone else getting bored with this? If the press release had said next Monday, and it was available sooner, we'd all be thrilled. As it is, everyone's a bit cheesed off. Kind of takes the shine off it. You'd think that the experts in Marketing etc would realise this by now, never promise what you can't deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndrewH13 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 As a non-PDA owner never having used net on phone (other than SKY+ scheduling and news), perhaps you could confirm a few things for me, having read the specs on Vario II and its fast web use. They may be obvious, but confirmation wopuld be helpful. I currently run a website and have own email via 1&1 Hosting. I access using Outlook Express at home (Do NOT have Outlook). At other PCs I have access via Webmail on the 1@1 site. Would there be access to email other than via the web providers server or are POP3 emails out? Are ALL Internet sites available, ie no silly portals, and would you be seing the 'actual' full page. I was considering the MIO A701 as it also included a GPS receiver. Any reason why this model would not be good for GPS use with an add-on Receiver? (Geocaching and later SATNAV, say Copilot with PIO camera database). Thanks.

Guest Confucious Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 A couple of things Andrew. 1) You will need to use full Outlook (rather than Express) to Synch with a PPC - they all come with a copy of Outlook 2002 AFAIK 2) Most PPCs are made by HTC , I must admit I don't know a lot about the Mio - but All of them can use an external GPS receiver - I've just bought a SiRF III one off eBay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
