Went beyond mine - enjoy :D

[Guest waroffice]

dont worry the k750 suffers from a useless joystick that only pushes down when it feel likes it....

And i scratched it to death, dropped it at work while walking across the yard :D

[Guest randomelements]

There's no doubt that the Vario II (despite a few niggles that people are reporting) is a fantastic device - you won't be disappointed.

[Guest waroffice]

Damn and blast phone not in stock,

Then gave me a Vario instead till it comes in, about a week they say.

Thats nice of them, Tmob kick ass with customer support compared to Orange.

Time to play

It's an absolute cracker of a phone. Haven't noticed any show stopper bugs yet and battery life is better than my Nokia N80 (which is a bit of a lemon for battery life and firmware bugs - why no self install firmware Nokia? Grrr). I was initially wary of going back to T-Mobile and Windows Mobile, but now it seems T-Mobile gives me a better signal where I live and where I work (and en-route on the bus) than Vodafone which my Nokia's on and WM5 is a much nicer user experience compared to the XDA2 work has issued me with (and infinitely better than the last Pocket PC device I owned, a Toshiba PDA years ago).

[Guest waroffice]

woohoo just got my paws on the beauty....time to install all the stuff i had on the vario i was using while this came in stock!

it looks fantastic...

[Guest Albie]

I have also been thinking of jumping ship from Orange to T-Mobile and the Vario II, but just wondered how it compares in terms of weight and size to the C600.

I dont want a huge device, some small, to easily hide .. does the Vario fit into this or not.

Am jsut getting fed up with 8 replacements, and Orange CS.

[Guest waroffice]

it is heavier and a bit bigger (not much) than my C500 but it does a hell of a lot more...the keyboard if fab, it looks georgous, its 3G. i think its good and with the wnw pro option its fantastic.

i love the thing and i only had it out of the box an hour!

[Guest Albie]

Or are you able to see the Vario II in any shops ... or is it just available online ... would like to hold it and feel it before I jumped in.

I picked mine up from the local T-mobile shop, but stock is still quite limited. Might be worth asking if it's not on display in case they've any out back.

Told you :D

Albie: as Richard says, it's doesn't look like they are displaying them in stores yet. My local store has them out back but not on display.

[Guest Albie]

oohh .. better get down there and see if I can play, or at least see it ...... was am thinking of going on the Flex-t 35 ... that one seems a good deal ... seeing as I am paying

[Guest randomelements]

And with the current discount on the Flext tarriffs you'll get the Flext 35 + WnW for

[Guest MPXtricky]

I was in Bournemouth on Saturday and the T-Mobile shop I looked in had the Vario II on display

Told you :D

[Guest Albie]

mmmmm .... am tempted,

[Guest waroffice]

mmmmm .... am tempted,

[Guest Zahid]

mmmmm .... am tempted,

[Guest waroffice]

thats not a bad deal at all.

[Guest Albie]

However, that cost does not seem to beat the cost on T-Mobile, and the thing I seem to like, is the flexibility of it .....

[Guest waroffice]

I just got me a 1Gb microSD card (thats so going to get lost, im impressed with the size of it, wow) now then what to put on it?

I go back to college today, maybe a DVD to watch on the trai, or some tunes , I have a 256mb mp3 player with some great sony groove headphones tho.

I just bought rake in the grass's Undercroft so i can play that on the train!

any other suggestions welcome

:D

[Guest thereaperman]

i got mine form my local tmboile shop, i think most t shops keep two instock, but not on display etc(i think they want to shift the varios, compacts etc first). when they sell them they then order a other two etc.

i find its quicker, nicer looking and works a lot better than the vario. and for 37.50 a month for unlimited broadband(ie 2gb) its a great deal.

[Guest nato]

Hi,

Just wondering...i have an M600 which is great for most things, but texting is a complete pain in the ass. the phone pad is unreadable in daylight, and the keys are too close together for my fat thumbs!

How is the Vario|| in comarison ?
