Hi,
Ordered a Vario 2 from a T-mobile store about 4 weeks ago - still out of stock. Tried to order on-line, order was processed successfully but then had a follow up call saying its out of stock.
I really need to get off my current tariff so hope they sort something soon!
Is anyone else in this position/has anyone else managed to obtain a phone in the last month? Any T-Mobile insiders have an idea when your getting some?
Thanks,
Paul
Yeah i have ordered one on monday. Still no news os still waiting. Let us know whey u receive one.
just to upset u all. i ordered mine online on last tuesday, and got it the next day been playing with it ever since.
Hi there, if it's t-mobile UK you are referring to I ordered mine 12 days ago online and received it the next day. I was told on two occassions when I called them that they were out of stock, but one day I rang they had 500 odd in stock. That is when I rushed my order through online.
This would mean I had mine when your order was waiting. I'd ring them and play hell if I were you.
Thanks for the tip off g00nerz. I guess there possibly working through a back log of orders, that said, I am not impressed at having to wait a month when other people have got one very quickly - I'm going to give them hell tomorrow!
Many Thanks.
I ordered my vario ii through t-mobile direct from my holiday in spain on monday 8th october and it arrived at my home in the uk the next day.....
these are rushing out of stock so fast, so it you can grab one, get it fast...
This has really annoyed me - thinking of choosing a different carrier - its ridiculous to wait 4 weeks for a phone - the store hasnt even given me a courtesy call. I know they're in short supply but I've ordered two in the last month and neither has been sent!
Thanks for letting me know the "state of play"
Hi All,
Rang Tmob this morning inquiring the status of my order and apprantly the update is that there are component shortages (did nto say what components) but the long and short of it it that the phone will now not be available until the end of the month !!!
So i guess we will still be waiting a while then !!
I spoke with T-Mobile yesterday as I was expecting a swap out unit today. It appears that the current batch they have in stock is being held back for quality checking. I had a problem with mine (another replacement received Monday) which indicated that the manufacturer (HTC) has not carried out the vendor specific setup properly (ie keeps asking for a network unlock code). I can only assume other stock units have got the same problem.

Wow. Went to order mine today only to find that T-Mobile have completely removed the Vario 2 from their website.
Looking bad...

I wouldnt worry about that, it disappears and re-appears all the time! When I went to sign up for a web and walk tarriff the other week the only phone it would offer me (and put in the basket!) was a v3 razr - in pink! Phoned customer services and they said that the website was in the process of an overhaul and hence it was in error.
Tell a lie, just checked my e-mail and its been dispatched -- hoorah! Should be here before 1 tomorrow apparently.
Maybe the MD of T-Mobile reads the Hermes message board?!

Since T-mobile introduced the new WebnWalk tariffs on Oct 1st 2006, the Vario2 has flown off the shelves becuase the handset doubles as a USB modem for laptops and the WNWPlus is a better package than anything Vodafone or Orange offer with their data cards. This is why I bought one to try out for my company, I know of another company that bought 31 for their sales staff in one hit and more of my customers are doing the same having been pleased with what I've told them already.
T Mobile takes the phone off the website when they sell out which accounts for its dissappearance. I must say though as a business customer the service is fantastic, everytime I have called CS I have got through in under 2 mins usually it takes a few rings once I have got through the menu system to the right department and am very pleased with it. I've got my TT6 installed with my GPS236Slim receiver, can take calls whilst its plugged in to my laptop as a modem and Remote Access (Terminal Server) is usuable even when not in a 3G cell so I'm in heaven and it works on the norfolk broads of all places!!!!!
Ah that's not so bad, then. Never having used T-M before I didn't expect that. I would have thought that just marking it as not currently in stock would be a better option that pulling it, but maybe that's just me.
I guess I just check the site to see when it reappears, then!
Awesome. I just had a call from T-mobile UK. The Vario 2 is now in stock and I can order one for delivery tomorrow.
I had to check on some things so called back, spoke to someone else, and suddenly they've not been in stock today and won't be available until next week.
Mr. left hand and Mr. right hand need to get talking, I think.
T-mobile told me that they'l have them in stock this week when rang them last week. I've just come off the phone from t-mobile and they've just told me they had no idea when they'l have them in stock and to try next week...... wtf cant they get their act together. I've never known anything like it... if only orange or vodafone matched the web n walk tariff then i'd be off like a shot!!! (i think its ony a matter of time) if anyone from T-Mobile is reading this "this get your act together".
Just rang T Mob again and this time not end of the month but "we have no clue when they will get them in." So my response well for the inconvience are you willing to throw in a free SD card or something else ? Oh No sir we are not allowed to do that. Ok then thanks for your call !!
WTF!! what do they mean no clue. Why accept orders when u know you can fulfill them ??
Anyway just an update for you folks! Dont except the vairo II anytime soon. (I hope i am wrong) !

My vario comes tomorrow... I live in The Netherlands.
T-Mobile in the netherlands had also problems with the vario II stock. But after 2 weeks its solved and they do delivery's from monday!
im completely blown away, how fast and smooth everything runs. internet is REALLY fast, faster than iphone by a few seconds to load a page. only annoyance so far is when typing it always auto corrects my words to something i didn't type. auto correct is also turned off in setting
the sceen is amazing, cant tell it has only 65k colours
feel free to merge this thread...
Glad you got yours from voda. I was supposed to be getting mine today as i got a text and consignment number but nothing appears on the dpd website when i enter my tracking number. Better be here tomorrow or i'll be really annoyed
Nice one mate. What is the branding like on it? If at all? Very minimal?
I saw the dummy, and it looks amazing. Should be arriving tomorrow for me!

Mate - when the keyboard is open, make sure that ABC is selected in the button above the left shift key (XT9 or ABC).
This REALLY turns off auto-correction. I've had problems with that myself. I wanted suggestions, so I could select a word without having to type the whole thing, but couldn't stop it "auto-correcting" words. REALLY annoying when it's simply a word that it doesn't recognise and it just guesses! lol
i hope so too man, its been awful waiting for it lol. maybe you should ring voda and enquire about the dpd thing though, just to make sure?
oh and there is no branding at all. everything is left untouched
johncmolyneux ah cheers mate. gah i think they still need an update for the screen, press wrong buttons alll the friggin time :\

From what i understand vodafone no longer lock their phones to the network. A change was made a couple of years ago - i had a N95 at the time and they unlocked it free of charge due to the cange in their policy.

I was told the same thing on Saturday by one of their cs reps (although he thought that, that was now standard policy across all networks now). Still I'll check myself tomorrow (hopefully).
well i but my expired BT sim in and its loaded up fine. unlocked then?

yep sounds unlocked to me. Thats a bonus!
I think Vodafone wanted to get the HD2 out faster than anyone else, so obviously decided not to brand it or bother locking it.
Smart move on their part I think. Certainly lots of people getting new contracts to get it!
Lucky You
Lucky you man. DPD said they tried to deliver it today and even left a note, yet I got nothing from them, and they didn't leave any note.
Really pissed off with DPD as i've waited so long for this phone and they just screwed me.
Well lets hope i get it tomorrow.
My wife had SE M600 and then diamond befoore upgrading to HD2 on Vodafone. None of them were network locked. Also a friend of mine had Pro2 from vodafone and it was also unlocked. Vodafone does not seem to bother with locking the phones for the last few years. Although HD2 is not being delivered until later this week, it is good to hear that their policy on locking has not changed.
Ah great new about the unlocking was thinking that i might had to try and get it unlocked as gonna be using a pay as you go sim, since 18 and dont realy want to be tied to a contract anyone know which would be the best pay as you go for an unlimited internet package been looking at O2 but had no luck on finding there "fair usage policy" and when calling i just get told its unlimited. they realy are usless on these phone support lines

O2's so called "unlimited" is 200MB per month. (Chuckles and wonders what their "restricted" access would be like).
Guess what. Mine won't be here today either......... :-(
Turns out Vodafone didn't give DPD my full address details, so they couldn't route the package. Talk about hopeless.
It's just as well I phoned DPD, as Vodafone were still convinced that everything was okay for delivery today.
If anyone is still waiting for their phone, I suggest you call DPD on 0845 9 300 100 and make sure that everything is okay.
I've now given DPD my mobile number, and complete directions to my house. Hopefully, there won't be any more cockups.
On the plus side, I did manage to get Vodafone to give me a £30 credit to my account for the inconvenience of spending another day at home waiting for delivery.

I reserved an epic but I don't have anything that actually says that. When I go to the store tomorrow will they just have a record of my reservation or do I need to call and get them to email me some kind of reservation paper that I can print?
you should have received an e-mail with confirmation.
This is the link provided with the confirmation to change/check on, etc your reservation:

It says: "There are no appointments at this location associated with this phone number." I didn't enter a location, just my phone number, so I don't know what place it is checking.
If this thing is correct I'm going to be really pissed off. I called sprint like 10 times leading up to the preorder and they told me I was good to go. If I don't get an epic tomorrow this will be the last time sprint screws me over.
hmm maybe thats for my store... sorry for the confusion.
Check your junk email or something, if you reserved they would have sent you a confirmation email. subject: Your Samsung Epic 4G reservation is confirmed and it's from:
"Sprint" <[email protected]>
You should have gotten an email when you first did the reservation. Everyone else did. Have you considered the possibility of user error?
If you reserved one successfully you would have gotten 2 emails by now. One when you made the reservation, and the 2nd yesterday.
Edit: In any case, you should consider calling a Sprint store today and asking if they can reserve one for you. I honestly doubt they will sell out on day one. If they do I am sure you could get it at Radio Shack or Best Buy on day one. This isn't the iPhone, there will not be lines around the block.
Do you think we should call the Sprint Store to make sure we are all good for tomorrow? I assume since we recieved the emails we are all bueno?

If you buy direct they have their own firmware for the phone so you can follow this guide.
https://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-de...setting-up-wifi-calling-on-the-sony-xperia-xz
Otherwise it does not even appear in the phone. Its a build in feature from them, They have some sort of partition on the phone.

Yeah I understand now thanks for that. I may need to try and root this 1 day the chrome browser seems to have the ee touch as home page on it is ee and there's no way to change and no way to uninstall it. That's the only thing ee I can see. I'll give this ee calling ago. I would of brought from carohonewarehouse but£40 cheaper at ee and black and silver in stock was a no brainer.
Random question, I've received these headphones and I don't seem to be able to use Google voice dialler. I hold down the play button but nothing happens. Have you been able to get it working?

Not sure.
I'll get mine later today so will test and find out then.
Will see if we can get this working !
I thought i'll never get mine, i've ordered phone through service's provider online shop 9.10.2016(preorder) and had to wait until 13.10.2016(all providers in my country started deliveries that day- start of event 14.10.2016-18.11.2016) since it was end of the week i've recived mine 17.10.2016. The same day i tried to register my phone with a code i was given, to my suprise it did not worked at all, i've send an email to company that organised this promotion, it took two days and my perseverance to finally make it work, i had to try diffrent combination of 2 middle letters. 19.10.2016 i fortunatly registered it and waiting had started. 7.11.2016 after all i got an email that confirmed proper registration and that they will send it in the next 30 days. Just hope i'll get it late next week or week after that. Did any of you guys got the same problem? How long it took before you recived yours headphones?
No I just popped my IMEI number in and got mine like 2/3 days after.
Was pretty simple if I'm honest.
It's probably my luck i guess, company that organizes that is greenmark, a third party not Sony's Polish branch
Finally i got mine yeasterday, sound quality is good, build quality is acceptable, they fit well and comfort of use is high
Filled in my details and it wouldn't accept me for the offer.
Sony XZ Purchased from Carphone Warehouse, member of staff mentioned the headphone offer to me during purchase but the offer website doesn't accept my IMEI so i'm out of luck

i am struggling to see what they could be doing with IMEIs - who knows
I purchased my LG V20 through Sprint on 24 Oct, 2016. When attempting to sign up for the free B&O headphones offer my MEID isn't being accepted. I get the error IMEI/MEID Number: The serial number provided is not valid for this promotion. I've tried MEID Hex, DEC and HEX with the extra digit from the phone's menu. Nothing works.
I've emailed LG @ [email protected] and will call 1-888-655-4246 later today. I've also tried registering the device.
EDIT: Called them and they confirmed that Sprint users must wait till the 28th to register.
I just spoke to lg. they told me to try after the 28th of october. they were having some issues with the system.
I think their system is down at the moment probably from so many people trying to register for the new headphones. I just tried and the page doesn't even load for me.

Wow. That sucks. I got into system last night about 5 minutes after link went active. It accepted my verizon v20 mei just fine then. Hope they get this fixed for you!
Try putting the imei number in without the dashes, I just got through it a minute ago.
Same scenario for me. I removed the dashes and it worked.
So I submitted it and it said i would hear back in a few days. Is that everyone is getting?
just did mine about 15 min ago and no issues
Did mine this morning, no issues, but, what color will they be sending out? I really don;t want some girly gold color!

What picture is everyone using for the IMEI? A screen shot of it in the phone settings or a picture of the side of the box?
Also, for the receipt of purchase, is the T-Mobile lease agreememt that lists the phone and IMEI enough?
