Guest jgtthd Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 So T Mobile seem still unable to confirm the release date of the HD2...was meant to be last week....was meant to be today and now apparently its going to be Saturday..... :) i see that some sim free companies are already noting the phone as available to order (not preorder) today. Any other T Mo folks out there heard anything about when we will have the handset??? i am seriously gong crazy here!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigHairyDave Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I am just off the phone with them, it's now going to be December before it's released by T-Mobile (no idea when in Dec!)

Guest BigHairyDave Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 wow! are you sure about that? I was told by them this morning it would be 100% "the next few days" Only relaying what was told to me, they couldn't even give me their pricing so I could make the decision to go to one the retailers that DO have it (or will very soon).

Guest JPhilips Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have spoken to 3 different woman 1 yesterday, 1 Monday and 1 Friday. Anna - Spoke to on Friday, said that it is definitely this week. (She said this week from the 9th onwards, but couldn't say which day).(no prices available) Katie - Spoke to on Monday, she said that they are definitely either this week, or next week. (no prices available) Hayley - Spoke to, on the online we chat thing. - Transcript follows : Bob: Hello there. Hayley: Hi there, my name is Hayley. I am part of the dedicated T-Mobile Online Sales Team. May I ask if you are enquiring about a new contract or an upgrade today? Bob: I am enquiring about a specific handset. (I bet you have had loads for it). A HTC HD2, you have listed as coming soon. Hayley: Hi Bob Bob: It is now listed as in stock with Sim Free suppliers, so I was just wondering on a date for yourselves ? I believe O2 are possibly even tomorrow. (but this isn't confirmed). Hayley: We have been trying to get this phone out as soon as possible but it's looking like this friday Bob: Do you have any idea on pricing etc ? Bob: I would prefer to go with yourselves of course. Hayley: Well, nothing is confirmed yet but I would think maybe between £35-£40 a month Bob: And a free handset ? or that plus a cost ? Bob: I am already on a £40 a month contract, so would be perfect as a replacement. Hayley: Probably free. I would think it will be in the same price range as the Blackberry Bold 9700 Bob: OK, I can use that as a benchmark then. Thank you kindly. I am already with yourselves with 2 handsets, and they are upgradable this week. Thus prefer yourselves over a sub standard provider. Bob: Well, Hayley you have been very kind and helpful. Bob: I wish you a great rest of the day, and look forward to Friday then. :-) Hayley: You're very welcome Bob Hayley: Enjoy the rest of your day as well So it's mixed dates really, but none of them say that it is in December, only that it is pretty imminent.

Guest jgtthd Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 basically what i have heard, i just tried the online chat thing and they also said "defintley the next few days" again, no one has said to me December but i wish they would set a firm date!! if the sim free suppliers are now available, then the final rom must be done and ready to ship so why is t mobile messing around so much with dates??

Guest jgtthd Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 right - just called t mo again and spoke to a supervisor in the upgrades and loyalty dept who said the phone SHOULD be avaialble from tomorrow morning from t mobile and if it's not they will be able to tell us the excat date (he said no later than mon/tue next week) but again it should be available to ship tomorrow for delivery on Friday. SO fingers crossed!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JPhilips Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Nice. Definitely fingers crossed then. :-) Well another online web chat thing reveals : You are now connected with Jordan. Jordan: Hi there, my name is Jordan. I am part of the dedicated T-Mobile Online Sales Team. May I ask if you are enquiring about a new contract or an upgrade today? Jake: Hi ya, I was just wondering if you have any release date for the HTC HD2. I spoke to someone last Thursday, and they told me it would be sometime this week. Jordan: It has been delayed again, it looks like it should be within the next week or so, but i am sorry I can not help you any further Jake: Oh, ok. Well thanks anyway. (Note I never use the same name twice). :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JPhilips Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The latest information from online chat thing reveals : Thank you for choosing T-Mobile. A T-Mobile Sales Adviser will be with you shortly. You are now connected with Amanda. Amanda: Hi there, my name is Amanda. I am part of the dedicated T-Mobile Online Sales Team. May I ask if you are enquiring about a new contract or an upgrade today? Pete: Hello there. I am enquiring about the HTC HD2 handset with yourselves. On the website it is listed as "Coming Soon", I just wondered if you had any more information regarding it please ? Pete: Sim Free, people are already getting them, and reports that it will be available from Vodafone today, make me think it will be on T-Mobile as well. Pete: Obviously, I want to go with yourselves rather than Vodafone Amanda: The is due for release by the end of this week Amanda: It was rumoured today, but the site is yet to update if it's available or not Amanda: They will only be available on contract, not sim free Pete: Oh right. What would you suggest ? Sitting and refreshing the site at regular intervals ? Pete: I am after contract, and upgrade actually. Pete: Do you have any information regarding pricing yet ? Amanda: Is your contract due to end in the next 4 weeks Pete? Pete: 1 handset was due on the 4th, and 1 is due on the 14th Amanda: We have no details as of yet on the pricing of the plans but as an existing customer you're entitled to the plans at discounted rates Pete: I have phones (mine and girlfriend on a single account). Both just finishing an 18 month contract, and would be looking at the same length term again. Pete: Am hoping as it's 2 phones to get the handsets as free upgrades. Amanda: As an existing customer you can get phones free on your upgrade, the upgrades team are always negotiable Pete: Ok thank you kindly. Pete: I will keep an eye on the site for later on then. Amanda: You're welcome Pete Pete: As always, customer support has been good. Amanda: Our upgrades team will be available online as well after 9am Pete: Ok, excellent. Thanks very much. You have a good rest of the day. Amanda: You're welcome Pete Amanda: You too Amanda: Thank you for your time, please fill in my survey simply by clicking the 'close' button. Have a great day. So sounds definitely like it's today or tomorrow. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thelondonthing Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Just spoke to Gilbert on the online chat thing; he said that their intranet is showing it as being available first week of December. He also took my number and said that he'd just sent an email to the handset team for further info, as he's waiting on the HD2 as well! A couple of people on the T-Mobile user forum have also reported today that they're being told it won't be available until December too. Bugger.

Guest thelondonthing Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Following my online chat with Gilbert, he's very kindly followed up on his promise to let me know of any news, this time via text: "Hi, just been adv by procurement Hd2 should be out today today or tomorrow. No Idea of price yet. Keep your eyes on the website. Gil, Live Chat Team" This certainly seems to support what jgtthd heard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i called them again (different story from each person to try and get more info) and they said the same about today tomorrow, then that that dates wasn't 100%...the guy then mentioned December again but that again no one was 100%.....So i figured enough is enough, i just called mobilephonesdirect.com and did my t mo upgrade with them. phone confirmed and will be at my house tomorrow morning (unlocked and unbranded)....i just didn't want to wait around for t mo to make their minds up and also figured the advantage of an unlocked handset is all updates will come straight from htc not to mo who are also slow in this dept (see all the stuff that happened with the htc hero updates with t mo.) so there you go, upgrade on t mo via mobilephonesdirect and i will finally have the hd2 tomorroz! :) cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigHairyDave Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I have been told December again, this time by the upgrade department. He said that they had been told today that it has been pushed to December with no indication when in December. I just wish they would give out the pricing, I'll wait another couple of weeks if it's worth it but I don't want to wait and find out it's as expensive as (vodafone £35/month on a 24 month contract WTF !) when I can get it elsewhere for £25/month on an 18 month contract plus £108 for the phone (effectively £160 cheaper over the life of the contract) If I wait then all the stock will be gone from the other suppliers....

I wouldn't expect any amazing deals from T-Mobile - the Compact V is only free from £49.50/month (18 months), while even more ludicrous pricing is evident for the Vario IV (yes, that old chestnut), which is only free for £60/month. Even on a £50/month contract, the Vario IV costs nearly £80. I wonder who the "procurement team" are, and where they fit into all this - because they're the ones who keep feeding back this apparent myth that the handset is due to be released imminently, even while the front line sales and upgrade teams are sticking to the December story.

Guest BigHairyDave Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 You are right they don't normally have amazing deals but you often get a few more minutes or internet access included for the same price as the independents. Also if mobilephonesdirect.co.uk can offer it for £108 upfront and £25 x 18 Months then t-mobile surely shouldn't be far behind ? I think I will wait until the dust settles a bit before making a choice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not a bad price from mobilephonesdirect - Expansys are offering it at £149 for : £35 Monthly,18 Month,700 Mins,Texts,Unlimited Data (Combi 30 + WnW).

Guest JPhilips Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have just this second spoken to Jordan again on the T-Mobile chat thing. Should have copied it. Damn. But anyway, she said that it should be today, but ONLY for upgrades, not for new contracts first. (She advised I call the upgrades team, as they get more information than the online chat people. So that kind of makes both today / early December correct with today for upgrades and in 2 weeks new contracts. I will call them at lunchtime, and see what they say.

Guest thelondonthing Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Interesting - I just spoke to Jordan too, and she didn't give me any such specific information. In fact, it seemed to be news to her when I mentioned that Gilbert from the T-Mo chat thing had told me it would be yesterday or today, and her only direct response to my enquiry about when it would be available was that "it isn't out yet". Still, she agreed with my assertion that it's frustrating to be given conflicting information by each T-Mo rep I speak to, and deferred to Gilbert's better knowledge of handset availability as "he's in the upgrades team" (which seems to imply that Jordan isn't). It seems that not only do we get different info from each T-Mo rep, but each T-Mo rep gives different info to each customer they speak to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
