Flext Web n Walk 25 (With 25% discount)

[Guest dr who]

(jealous) - missed out on the 25% off as well.

Still, I'l be smiling once the Hermes appars!!!!

[Guest sporkguy]

Postie just deliverd Vario and CoPilot together with my WnW Flext 35 SIM... woohoo! :)

P

I'm going to assume they've declined me again and have simply forgotten to tell me this time - as there's no email from them just yet :D

in a word: Bugger.

Found Vario from http://www.ukphoneshop.com - have ordered it and waiting for credit check... I'm hoping they will approve it!

Nah, don't see it... bet you'll get a mail shortly confirming it's on it's way... same sequence as happened to me...

Sell them seperatly on eBay, put the SIM in the M5000 after upgrading the ROM to either the QTEC or O2's ROM and see how it should be :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Gonna flog them to buy out my O contract, and put some cash towards an XDA Atom I think :)

I reckon 300 quid the pair is very reasonable!

Just had a mail from T-Mo saying my Vario + CoPilot on FlexT 35 with 25% discount went through! Hurrah!

Whats coverage on T-mobile like now, generically? Same as O2, or on a par with Voda/O ? Do they have any EDGE type high speed features coming online?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Seems better than O for me, bizarrely!

They aren't doing EDGE as far as I know, but rumour is they'll be first to market in the UK with HSDPA and the Vario II (HTC Hermes)?

[Guest confucious]

T seem to have far better 3G coverage than O2 and the only place I've got no coverage at all (not even voice) is a local pub, everywhere else seems fine.

I think handset reception is an important factor as well.

I'm still on O, but with any of my old handsets I could never get signal in the centre of my favourite Wetherspoons pub (hey, I like cheap cider ok! :)) and I've had a lot of handsets.

However recently I got a Qtek 8310/SP5 and I can get just over half reception constantly all the way through the pub, that, to me, says that coverage has a number of factors - and handset choice is only the first such!

P

Wots HSDPA then? I remember reading about it somewhere but I can't recall the details. Never mind - found it - High Speed Downlink Packet Access :D And where did you hear about the Hermes on O? Any idea if this is gonna be limited to 'business customers only' on daft tariffs and huge up-front costs like their other PPC's?

Tell, tell, tell :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Hermes on T-Mob, not Orange, re-read :)

P

[Guest pd.ryder]

Stooopid me :)

[Guest sporkguy]

Meh.. I wish the Hermes wasn't such an eyesore :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I don't mind it... think it'll be my next device of choice :)

[Guest confucious]

Just got my bill through - they seem to have forgotten my 25% discount...

I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

It also showed 83,968Kb of data used - and that was before I got my push email working today :)

How much would that have set me back if I was still with O?

if you had an Orange world 4 bundle, that would have come to around ?84! without a bundle... god I dread to think.. its about ?3 or ?4 per MB if you dont have a bundle :D

[Guest confucious]

Just rang T-Mob - It will be fixed but apparently they had a glitch in their system and no-one has been given their 25% discount :)

I felt quite sorry for them. They must be snowed under with people asking wheer their discount is.
