Guest varioIII-lover Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 oh plop. that would be typical wouldn't it .. to be honest tho, the 8gb is likely to be pricier for a while .. my ten cents. v3-L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varioIII-lover Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 does anyone have a headnod for a good car kit where i can cradle the vario3 and charge it up via cig socket at the same time? one that won't scratch the thing? also a good protector, maybe to protect the whole thing inc the keyboard, some silicon thing? like see through sandwich wrap? (i tried that but it wouldn't stay on so i glued it all down with superglue ..) v3-L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 For all those who have their VIII - could you please confirm that when you have the screen in Landscape mode, the first line of the Today screen does NOT show??? I get the main screen where the date and Icons are - but the bottom bit - where you have your meetings, to-do-list etc does not show at all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kubrick1977 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 how did you manage to get it free? New contract via T-Mobile Business Sales... To be honest they originally quoted £99.99 but I haggled them down to £69.99; When the phone didn't get delivered on Monday as they had promised I kicked up a fuss and voila to my surprise we got it at zero! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kubrick1977 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Bollocks! I should've done the same, they did exactly the same to me! I'm assuming that you've got your phone? If it was a new connection, don't forget that you have 30 days to return the phone if you're not happy. If you're able to speak to Business Support then speak to Jean (she's so helpful - and extremely polite) as I'm sure that she'd be able to sort you out.

Guest lozzd Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I did get the phone on Tuesday. However does it not sound a bit weird only suddenly getting angry two days after receiving the phone that it was late ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GordonTGopher Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 T-mob have updated their website :D it now says "expected October" ;) BTW yesterday I managed to get retentions to match the offer in the mag if I upgraded to flext 35, but in the end it wasn't worth the extra monthly spend compared to paying £100 for the phone. (The offer came after I suggested I could port out and back in and getbthe phone free :wub: ) Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However does it not sound a bit weird only suddenly getting angry two days after receiving the phone that it was late ;) It's your call but I would still kick up a fuss!!! We had to back up all our email, contacts and notes etc from the Orange SPV that we were moving from. A delay of 48 hours meant that the backup had to be performed all over again. I didn't ask for them to discount it to zero but it was nice when they offered!!! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stephenballantyne Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Hi, I've been reading this forum with great interest having been itching to get hold of a Vario III for a fair while. I've got my PAC code from O2 and am all ready to make the leap to T-Mobile, but I can't get a decent deal out of the tele-sales folks. I'm a pretty light user, so only want Flext 20 with W'n'W. They want £200 for the phone on this contract (which isn't going to happen). Just wondered if any other new T-Mobile customers had been offered a better price on the same contract. Cheers, Steve Edited October 3, 2007 by stephenballantyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ketanc Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hello everyone. ;) New here infact new to posting in general, this is my first time ever. Just to let you in on my experience. I ordered my much waited for Vario III on the 1st October & told the lady on the phone that people were getting the phone for less than the £100 she offered on "FlexT 35 WnW". She wouldn't budge so I accepted the offer anyway as I thought its cheaper than buying a HTC TyTn II even after loosing my 50% discount on my last line rental. She let me keep the addiotional 25% off though. Yesterday morning i got hold of the October 2007 In-store t-mobile catalogue in which I found the Vario III for Free on FlexT30 WnW. Needless to say I was a bit miffed to find that I didn't need to pay for the phone after all. I rang them yesterday evening to ask for a credit of £100 to my account. As the phone had been dispatched the deal was in place and that I would have to return it on the 14 day return option and re-order it for free. Today I'm now sitting here watching the sealed box(torture!), thinking if I return it and they've pulled the october magazine from the stores will it be a lot of hassle for nothing when they refuse to honour the deal? I really really want to open it, I've waited a long time. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't sitting in front of me calling on me to open it. Your input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Guest GordonTGopher Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 so they are now acknowledging there actually was this offer in the mag? ;) They did when I spoke to them, think it depends who you speak to (maybe even which call centre ) Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adster13 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Still contemplating when to get my Vario III as have had fun with the great people of t-mobile. First time I rang up I could hardly hear the guy as the line was so crackly but they didn't have any in stock (last week). Few days ago spoke to someone who I think was called "jon t 5" or something and he offered me on W&W 35 with £5 off £70 for handset and would drop delivery. Then yesterday had fun arguing with another guy telling me he won't go under £100 for handset on same tariff as above. Explained I had spoken to someone previously offering me a better deal and he kept saying he can't budge on price until it comes out on web, when I asked are your calls recorded he said only for training purposes and there are no notes on the previous offers I was offered. Maybe I should have mentioned that Powerupmobile and others are doing it for £40 on W&W 30. Back to "jon t 5" I do remember him saying quietly (as if reading to himself) give this customer the best deal but who knows.... ;) Think i'll give a week or two for the web to update and then ring them, as when I check online for normal upgrade (even though out of my contract in september) the prices for any handsets are more then being a new customer. Will let you guys know if I manage to get a freebie :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdieB Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 What's the deal with W&W? My contract's due for renewal in December. I currently use the XDA Orbit, and TBH I think it's brilliant. However, I do like the look of the TyTN II - How does the W&W work? Is it *really* unlimited or is there a cap / fair usage policy applied? I'd keen to use the phone as a modem if possible for work and the W&W would enable me to do so without worrying about data usage - is this possible?

Guest jpwjpw Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) Got my Vario III yesterday. Must say I am more impressed than I thought i'd be. I had a Vario II before and flashed it with Windows Mobile 6 so I thought the only differences would be the GPS and the tilting screen. What I like more though is that the interface has been designed more for my fat fingers (HTC TouchFlo) and the screen seems to be brighter and of a high quality than my Vario II. Pretty pleased anyway ;) If only it had a VGA res screen.... Edited October 4, 2007 by jpwjpw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use it as a modem you would need to have W&W Plus. That's an extra £5 and allows the phone to be connected to a laptop. The next step up from that is W&W Max which allows you to use the hone for VOIP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
