Got through a long conversation with level 5 [email protected] T-mobile and he indicated the T-Mobile release is due in 2-3 weeks.
They had some significant issues with a patch they had for the announced release scheduled for this week and removed the page from their site because they are getting "hundreds" of calls per day.
:roll:
Those wieners! But at least they're working on it.
While it would be nice for them to get the thing out the door right away, I think we'll all be happier if they get it right and make us wait a couple of weeks
...(I don't know about hundredS of calls a day, but i know i put in a good 99 per day) 8)
I'm having a problem with my phone - called today and T-Mobile is supposed to be sending out a replacement (Oops, guess I'll have to revert to the 2002 OS before I return this one!)
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what comes on the new one. I'm pretty sure it'll be PPC 2002, but who knows maybe it'll have 2003 on there - though I doubt it.

I would also be surprised as they are probably sending you a replacement that was 'loaded' a few weeks before now. They probably have hundreds of PPCs with 2002 and I really doubt that they will reload them with the new OS, they will just let the new owner do that.
Sorry. But, hey, maybe we are wrong?

I'm not too concerned about what OS it has on it. Not like upgrading it is difficult. But something updated would be nice just for the "ooh!" factor. :-D
I actually just went through a replacement this week with T-Mobile. The phone I eventually received had PPC2002 on it. Beware though - the first replacement phone I received from them was a cheapo Motorola, so they sent the completely wrong phone. I had to order another one and wait a few more days til I received the correct replacement.
Gb.
I work for T-Mo and noticed that we are to sell through our existing inventory and ordering is supposed to cease for the current PocketPc due to lack of supply. I'm sure that what is really going on is that they want us to sell through the models with PPC2002 while they get the final product of WM2003 ready to ship. Makes sense... out with the old.. in with the new..
oh for GOD's sake... lets just call it windows 2004!!!
there is only one month left! i dont want to be in 2004 thinkin im using last year's technology!

I was just thinking the exact same ****......& since its takin so long 4 this bug free upgrade :roll: ... i want the RS to be flawless.......
..........or :twisted: i :twisted: might :twisted: just :twisted: have :twisted: to :twisted: go :twisted: to :twisted: AT&T...lol
i didnt know we can say *Ship High In Transit* here
good to know, good to know : :twisted:
hey! anyone wants 128MB sd card (new) for $45? i got 3
I am pretty sure the RS will still have many bugs for us to work around. It is the nature of the beast.
I am waiting for information on the new device t-mobile will be launching with WM2003, 802.11 and Bluetooth "capabilities" ( I alwasy worry when they say that!)
Todays i rang O2 online and they imformed me that EXEC is available as from Monday 26th of September at 8:30am this is not a hoax as i rang 2 different sales advisors and the XDA EXEC is now showing on there latest stock sheet.
I did question them about the 3rd of October date and they imformed me that they had decided to bring the date forward by a week.
O2 has imformed me that there are some seriously exellent 3g data and video calling bolt ons coming so hold tight......
If this indeed so, I'll be there in the morning! Can anyone else confirm this, as Tekguru has been informed that there may be a delay of 2-3 dats as of the 3rd October? Confusing?!?
Yay
Does anyone have details on the pricing structure that O2 will be using?
I don't want to be a killjoy, but I have used O2 for a month when I got an XDA IIs (before I knew about the Exec), and if you need their customer services, you will pay national rate for approx. half an hour before O2 actually get round to speaking with you.
This is the reason I have gone with Voda in the end. T-mobile were pretty good as well, and also Orange were good.
Just be careful in case you need support from them.
Joe
Not quite true
I've been on the phone to o2 last week and just thinking how much better they had gotten. They are much better than 'Club PenPal"
=> Hi, I'm Mo, how can you I help you today?
=> Sorry, please wait for the next rom upgrade.
=> When? When? I don;t know, but have a great day, thank for you using Club Pen pal."
The O2 UK website now has the XDA EXEC on there website!!!!
Bring it on in Australia!!!!
Rang Staff Accounts this morning (o2).
They confirmed that they have a release date of 26/09 but that they don't have it on their systems yet.
Also I've 4.4 months left on my current contract and would cost me about £144 to get out of it...
I would sell my 2i for about 200 quid, so I'm looking at around £170ish in total to get into a new contract with the Exec, though I'm not sure if I would get the Exec at the same price as upgrading from the 2i...
Hmmmmmm
Ant
Just been on the phone to 02 and they are saying that it is out today, but its not in stock and they have no prices for it till its in stock or a date/time it will be instock wtf they are going to call me back when its in stock so that will be sometime never i surpose lol
I just spoke with someone in sales department; today is only a provisional release date, the product will be in stock around 2nd week in october I really want one of theses things...it's driving me CRAZY :evil: having to wait!!!
Anton.Valleyman, u think u could buy two units...I don't live in the UK so I can't buy one direct...maybe we can make a deal :roll: any help?
Sorry, I have a stinking cold today, and I was coming down with it and being miserable yesterday.
I tried to call Voda to see if they can do anything appart from gratuitously skanking me for data (6 quid = 5 mb, 15 for 10, 25 for 42megs...), and when I ask why for 23 quid you get 70 megs on a 3G laptop card, I am put on hold for 45 mins and then I gave up. They have beaten my O2 misery record and now are the front runners in crap service.
My jasjar has a slightly loose screen and so I think it will be RMA'd back to Expansys and cancel the whole thing until T-mob release their one:
T-mobile seem the best deal to me with 200 mins and 55mb data for 35 per month. Any advances on the best voice data mix?
And youmeus, just save up yer $$$ and buy an imate or the other version outright - you don't want a slightly iffy Jasjar do you? :lol: only joking, I wouldn't sell it to anyone if it's not 100% perfect.
I'm going for my lemsip...
Joe
I know what you mean,
Upon waiting 8mins before actually speaking to someone i asked the simple question " is my multimedia enabled?"
15 mins on hold, before being told, they've just enabled it for me, and that they were having problems finding the sim update for my device, and me being ignored when saying i have the settings cab.
= 23 mins not as bad as you and i didnt get pestered for more of the hard earned, tell a lie, they did ask if i needed insurance, told em i got a 3rd party insurance.
i'm begining to see that o2 is terrible when it comes to customer care :roll: oh well, will wait and see what t-mobile have up their corporate sleeves! BUT YOU MUST ADMIT THE BLACK o2 LOOKS "HOT"
Still not out
Well i phoned O2 upgrades this evening and was told that they don't have any details on the XDA Exec.
When i pushed his further - stating i've heard on this forum it should be available today - i was told that the product has been pushed back to next week 3rd October.
I hate the way O2 can give out different information to different people.
Does anyone have any more information on the release date and prices?
Thanks
Choose.
Which one would you like to have ? I think Mitac Mio A701 is a better choice the only drawback Mitac Mio A701 has comparing to Xda Exec is that Exec has QWERTY keyboard.
Theres no comparison dude, Universal is more of a lappy-style accurate data thing, and that Mitac is more like a mobile phone on steroids.
But, ppl like the phone-style thing, hence the phone-windows OS's success I spose.
For me, the Universal is the donkey's ding-a-ling, and the Mitac is a mobile phone.
Do you like the smaller form factor then?
Joe
I rang o2 today.
I was told available 30th October.
I rang back not believing 1st person and was told 3rd October.
Does the mitac not have built in gps? That is a cool feature that should be included in all ppc's

Does anyone know when T-mobile UK are releasing there update ? I've been phoning T-mobile for the answer without any luck.
Almost everyone else has released the Update (Qtek / O2 etc.), but T-mobile still can't manage to release it.
I saw on the T-Mobile website a while ago that the next update was scheduled for March 2006. I guess that has come and gone now.
Anyone got the URL for the T-Mobile download page?
I emailed them for this info last week, and had a phone call from them informing me that they will be releasing it "next week" on their download site:
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com
So that would be this week if they were being honest..
Cheers for the URL Paul. Hope your right about next week.
I'm still on Rom 1.3.2.2 (9/29/05) and was planning to spend this weekend trying out alternative ROMs but now I think it worth holding my breath a little longer for the official release.

Well, there not much time left for this week.
I'm considering using a XDA Mini S rom for the instant email. Does anyone know if this will work ?
Who here reckons HTC will be generous enough to upgrade the Trinity's OS to the upcoming Crossbow at some point via ROM update?
Think their marketing dept will advise to introduce Crossbow with a new device...

I think just to be on the safe side we should all pester HTC just to remind them there's demand for Crossbow.

We are talking about an OS that will shipped to OEMs 9 months from now and then must be tested against the hardware. Considering that a year from now HTC will have announced 5 to 10 new devices, I would say that Crossbow will never run on devices you buy today. It just doesn't make any sense commercially.
Crossbow is already shipped out to OEM, and will be released to end-users Q1/2 2007. <- *edit: just to be on the safe side: Crossbow should be shipped out to OEMs Q4 2006, so we still got a month to go
I think you are talking about Photon(or something like that), which will be sent out to OEMs next year...
Yeah, I think anonimo is talking about Photon not Crossbow.
Anyway, I just hope we get our upgrade to Crossbow by the end of the year, that would be great.
Also, I wish they'd release their ActiveSync replacement in time for Vista launch.
I would think that they would be release it in conjunction with Vista and I think HTC may release the update but they may charge a fee ($29.99 - $99.99) as HP released a update for some of their devices and the fee was $29.99. I would be happy to pay between $29.99 - $99.99 for the update.
Has HTC (via brands Qtek, Imate, Dopod) ever offered an OS upgrade in the past?
As far as I can see and this is why I have not purchased an HTC branded device yet , they do not even supply updated downloadable ROMs for the devices they sell unlike Imate branded HTC devices. I can't see the section on their site and have only heard that the ROM updates will be sent to your suppliers . I can't see expansys doing that .
I would guess that if they cannot do that then they will not offer Vista Upgrades either.
If anyone can point me to the ROM upgrade section on the European or any other site of HTC's then that would sway me in to buying one their own branded products.
My Hermes has died on me (long story; it's not recoverable without a $600 USD new system board)...
My question is... should I wait for "the next thing" from HTC, or should I get another TyTN/Hermes. I loved my phone, and would love to have another one, but the Hermes has been out for almost a year now, and I assume HTC is about to start releasing new phones.
The Trinity is a nice phone ... other than not having a keyboard (wtf?).
Basically -- anyone know if the "next generation" TyTN is coming out soon, with a faster CPU and *prays* GPS?
I don't want to wait too long - I've fallen back to my Motorola L6, and everytime I look at it I feel like I'm going to cry.

Oh wow.. *drools* That's a beautiful phone. Interesting how they got rid of the slider, too.
My problem will be having the patience to wait until June-July. :-D
Of course, I waited five months for the TyTN to become available here in the US, so I guess I can wait three months for the Kaiser.
Thanks!
Of course if you are really patient you will wait 9 months and the price will have dropped as well But that's far too sensible for all of us here I'm sure!!
Mike
HTC Kaiser - when?
I really want this phone. GPS + 3g = say goodbye to my Wizard.
Question is - the estimated US release date is June 2007. For those of you who have followed HTC for a while - how accurate do you think this is? Will it be available unlocked online before I can buy it from Cingular? How long will it take for Cingular to start selling it after it is officially released? (Assuming they're planning to sell it at all)
Cheers.....

I'm pretty sure Cingular will have it, because they've been testing HSUPA over the past few months -- and the Kaiser is one of the first (and only) ones that has been announced that will have it. It will probably end up replacing the 8525.
Going by the Hermes/TyTN schedule... the TyTN was announced to be released in June 2006. It didn't show up in the US until August, but those were imported models. A lot of the early models had some big problems (screen, keyboard, etc). They really started to roll into the US in October.
Cingular started testing the 8525 in September 2006. They didn't launch it until December (I think?). They had to tweak the HSDPA network to handle the TyTN/8525.
I bet those dates will be around the same for this new phone. Cingular/AT&T will be testing out the HSUPA network with this thing..
