Guest wi11 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 With a hearty T-Mobile showcase behind us yesterday I came away with some very interesting news about the handset we've all been waiting for: the 'Vario III' is official and it is coming to the UK on the very precise date of 8 September. http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devic...es-Vario-III/p1
Guest wi11 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 So... Is it worth going to a T-mobile store now and trying to reserve one? Or will it just be a case of first come first served?
Guest Syphon Filter Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Perfecto... my contract is up for renewal right around that time.
Guest chiefdave Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 does anyone know if there's going to be any major difference between the kaiser and the vario III, they're not going to shoot themselves in the foot and turn some features off are they??? also how much cheaper would you expect it to be on contract than buying an htc version from expensys or somewhere similar. if it's out in september i can either buy an htc unit now or wait a couple of months till my contract expires.

I know the tmobile branded one will be silver and not black. Which is tempting me to get the HTC version instead. Other than that it should be fully featured. T-Mobile generally are not in the habit of turning stuff off are they?
Guest wi11 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) I hope there won't be a difference in features and I don't think there has been for any previous Varios. It's a complete guess, but I'd expect the Vario III to be around £50 more than the Vario II. I'm also in two minds whether to get one on T-mobile or the black HTC but will probably get the cheapest option, even if I'd prefer it in black. Edit: Syphon beat me to it :) Edited July 21, 2007 by wi11
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 I can't imagine they'll disable features per se, there is a chance messenger will be pulled I suppose. P

Guest m3100tony Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devic...es-Vario-III/p1 No word on the website. Any update to the release date on T-mobile.
Guest WoD Posted September 8, 2007 Report Posted September 8, 2007 End of October I believe, or so I was told by the local T-Mobile store.
Guest georgie.charles Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 End of October I believe, or so I was told by the local T-Mobile store. Anyone have any more news on this - It seems to have gone very quiet on the Tmobile front!
Guest nlhall Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Anyone have any more news on this - It seems to have gone very quiet on the Tmobile front! I called them yesterday afternoon, they still had no information, so I asked for my PAC code and told them that Vodafone are expecting release on the 17th, she then went away and came back saying they still dont have a confirmed date, but it's going to be at least 2 weeks... There is a website selling them on pre-order and it says something "like expected in 18 days", I'll see if I can find it, there is a link in a forum somewhere.

The T-mobile prcing looks quite competitive too.
Guest tsutton Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Norwich T-Mobile shop said "The week after Friday" when I went to see them a few days ago.
Guest georgie.charles Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Where can I find details of TMobile's pricing? Cheers See the Kaiser on Orange thread. The T-mobile prcing looks quite competitive too.
Guest WoD Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 It might be the end of September. I'm deaf as an old coot! Could always go in and bug them some more, I've had no reply from the T-Mobile PR since mentioning the Vario 3 either. Grumble!
Guest aatari Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 I just rang t-mobile upgrade dept. Im getting mine sent to me for delivery between 8am - 1pm tomorrow. cool.
