After waiting for 2 weeks for delivery of an XDA II (Insurance claim) I emailed the company I brought it from! And to my Suprise and Delight they sent me this
Dear Mr Collins
Thank you for your e-mail.
I apologise for the delay in despatching your O2 XDAII, however we have had stock issues with this handset and now they have been discontinued and we will not be getting any more in again. However next week we are expecting to recieve the XDAIIS handsets, which we will be able to send to you asap. I anticipate delivery will be for mid to end of next week.

Orange have told me they have discontinued the M1000 (XDAII) and don't have the M2000 until mid Jan when it may be changed - to an XDAIIi perhaps?

u see it is NEWS god damn u all! if u still dont belive me argue it out NOW naturally o2 itself are gunna have more supplys but 3rd party sellers obviously have heard differently (not meaning orange as a 3rd party)
Even more proof look at sum guys post (Rune) about lost XDA II and got back XDA IIs instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The XDA II has been discontinued...i lost my XDA II recently when i rang up to get it replaced via O2 insurance they told me that the XDA II was no longer available, they offered me the XDA IIs, XDA IIi or the Sony...
I went for the XDA IIi nice
u see i never lie!!! thanks mate :-D
First Post so be gentle
I have just got off the phone to O2 techie guys who have told me that O2 have no plans on releasing the mini here in the UK.
He had a list of new handsets and that was not on it....he even did a bit of research for me and phoned me back.
I know you can get it as jam, mda etc but I wanted an O2 branded phone with a new contract - I have my reasons.
Is there going to be a new one with wifi built in that they are waiting for?????
Anyone know any gossip - or can correct me on the release???
hi there,
i emailed o2 uk and they told me that they couldnt tell me when or if it is going to be released. but did state to keep checking there website so it looks like it will be released but they are keeping quiet for some reason???
Uplands seem to think it's going to be released:
http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/XDA_2_MINI.html
"The launch date is expected to be this quarter and we will post a precise date, as soon as it is released."
as far as i know. O2 are no longer going to release the device on O2 instead they will release the MDA IV (don't know the o2 name) in the summer apparently. this is from one of their employees in the croydon shop. he seemed knowledgable so i'm inclined to believe him, anyway, i got mine from T-mobile so it really doesnt matter to me....
buy it here in Indonesia, and get a contract there.. haha..
cheers!

what're your reasons?
Hi All,
I am an O2 customer in the UK and as they were the original company to bring the XDA concept to us, why have they chosen to not release the XDA Trion in the UK? I am well aware it is out in Germany but why not here? Have they got too many XDA Mini S units in stock or what?
If anyone can shed some light on this, please do, what have they kept up their sleeve? Is there something better on the way already?
I look forward to your comments and thanks for the feedback.
I just had a call from o2 for business following my email to them of when they expected the Trion to be released in the UK, and the rep said that there were no plans to release it in the UK at all.
So, how are they going to compete with T mobile who not only are going to release it over here, but also have a great data tariff in Flext with web n walk?
Orange, who are already offering it, and vodafone who already have it apparently!
I have been with O2 since the Genie days, and have been reasonably happy with them up until recently. Probably round the time they were bought out.
Bizarre!
They didn't do the XDA Neo either. :roll:
Maybe they have something better up their sleeves?
Well Voda and T-Mobile has HSDPA but O2 don't so perhaps this the reason why. However it does seem a bit odd given the amount of effort O2 made over the XDA Exec.
O2 tend to have a yearly lifecycle on their XDA's whereas the other SP's tend to release as and when. Bearing this in mind and the fact that the Mini S and Exec have only been out for 8 and 9 months respectively, I wouldn't expect to see a new device from O2 until November/December.
Interesting point on the product life cycle. I have heard that O2 are seriously looking at releasing the HP Ipaq 6915, so maybe that is why they have steered clear of the Trion for now. Also I do not like the look of the HTC TyTn or the Vodafone V1605 compared with the Orange SPV M3100 and Trion. The button configuration on the latter two is more pleasing to the eye. So if I want one I have to go for the "ugly" one as I have a great deal from O2!!! I wish we could get the Dopod 838 pro here, subsidised on contract!!!
I just had an interesting conversation with O2 business regarding the release of the XDA Trion in the UK.
First person I spoke to told me that the Trion was not on the 15 week schedule of new phones releases so it definately wouldn't be released in that time.
So I phoned a different number at O2 and was told that the Trion is expected sometime late August or September??!!! I told the man what I had previously been told by the other rep and he says that is rubbish and that the unit is currently being tested by the testing unit prior to it's UK release!
So it seems the phone is coming to the UK...but I bet if I call a third person at O2 they will tell me something completely different...*sigh*
Why dont these people sing from the same hymnsheet?
Anyone heard any different news on the Trion's UK release date (if ever?)??
Al
You are right there. They have no idea what they are doing. Someone I spoke to said it is for America only. I said O2 have a network in America, she says yes, not checked, but I didn't think so. I said so why is out in Germany? You must be mistaken sir, must be.
I asked about HSDPA, and they checked with network services who said it is not being released by O2 as it offers very little extra bandwidth over 3G. I said I think you should ask them to check that.
I am on such a stonking tariff, I do not want leave O2, so here's hopeing the Trion turns up, otherwise I will have to conisder the P990i.
Yes Sunnychad, they dont have a clue. I really want this phone and am on a mission to find out the truth about UK release or not. See what you can find out at your end too.
Al
I spoke to someone in retentions about leaving as I wanted to move to a network that has the equivalent of the Trion and is offering HSDPA too. She put me on hold after telling me I was a select customer etc. Came back to say it is on the cards but there is no confirmed release date as the Trion is still in testing etc. I said OK. She then said there is something else coming called the O2 Jet. I am also aware that O2 are releasing the HP HW6915.
Also just found this link. I wonder what this handset is.

This is an O2 xda Atom Exec:
http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaAtomExec/template/Product.vm
It is manufactured by Quanta, not HTC:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Atom_Exec
I think you are mistaken.
There are pictures of 2 phones, one is referred to as New XDA and has a camera on the front panel, therefore 3G.
The other is of the XDA Atom Exec in a state of disrepair. Have another look and let me have you thoughts.
Thanks

oh! you're right, haven't noticed the camara on first picture before.
don't know which one is it :?
Thanks Sunnychad. Both the O2 Jet and Atom Exec are not phones I'd want. Desperate to have th O2 Trion, just love it's look and feel and want to stay with O2. Please can you keep me posted regarding anything you hear about it's UK release?
Thanks
Al :wink:
Email just recieved....
I've just recieved an email from O2 re. the release of the Tytn, doesn't look good....
"Thank you for your email.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I can confirm that the Xda Trion is not going to be released in the UK, this device is to be sold overseas only. I can only apologise for the mis-leading information provided by customer services, the device as you have stated has been released in Germany, although I am also unsure if it has been released anywhere else. There will be future PPC / WM devices in the future, however as yet we are unable to ascertain what these devices will be and also when they will be released.
My apologies we cannot assist further, however If you have any further problems, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

But are we to believe this latest reponse when the tesing team are actually 'testing' the Trion for the UK now?
Wouldn't take too much from that. You know, I think we just have to wait and see as O2 can't give us anything solid to go by.
Al
O2 UK are not releasing the Trion.
Dave, I don't think anyone can comment about it's release for sure as I've been told by the media dept. at O2 that they are testing the unit for general release in the UK. Also Ive been told by a shop (unbelievable I know) that it is to be released. As well as being told completely conflicting info by other sources.
We'll see.

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!
First of all sorry if this is the wrong section but the Q&A looked more like Note related question rather than ordering assistance.
I am trying to order from Amazon.de and have it shipped to the UK, tried and almost succeeded when i ordered it, a case and a host USB lead. It said it had shipped (all of it) last week but soon after i received an email saying that the Note could not be shipped do to weight problems?
So now i have been screwed on the shipping for the extras and they wont send me the phone, have tried several times but when i get to confirming the order it says the same thing about electronic goods.
My question is for anyone in or around the UK that has received a note from Amazon.de how on earth did you do it lol i have tried emailing and phoning them since i have a German speaker in the house who can help out but nothing back yet in over 5 days
I ordered my Note from Amazon.de a few weeks ago but didnt order extras to avoid any complication. I ordered those from elsewhere and in the uk. My Note arrived in a few days with no difficulties at all.
Try doing the same.

Sadly i have tried that just the note on its own gets the the confirmation section before saying it cannot be shipped to my chosen address (mainland UK) funny thing is i have already had several items from amazon.de throughout the year including some very expensive items and very inexpensive items.
Really want the Note but i refuse to pay the prices some users think are fair in the UK especially for used models, i mean £500 for a USED item when i can get it for £350 :s
Yes the UK prices are a rip off as are the contract prices which is why i went to amazon.de. I must have been lucky as that was my first ever purchase from there.
I successfully placed an order for a white Note via Amazon.de on Tuesday last week and received it without any issues on Friday ...
That's not very helpful to you I know, but just wanted to let you know that even until very recently, orders have been going through fine with them with shipping to the UK ...
For info, I ordered without accessories ...
Hope you get it sorted cos the cost saving is fab
I wonder if they've got wind of people ordering it to save a fortune and put an end to it. I got mine from Amazon.de at the beginning of January for just 410 Euros. It arrived at my house the following day and bizarrely enough even though it came with a Euro mains plug it was shipped via City Link and came from Milton Keynes.
Sorry that doesn't help you.
I'm not sure why anyone is now ordering through German amazon as the price is now €564 around £475 but UK price is now £519 so for £45 more you get UK delivery and UK warranty. . I was gonna order from Germany but due to sgreen problems chose UK and I'm glad I did cos first note had a really bad screen and amazon replaced it and paid for return postage

And worst UK prices have increased. Handtech was selling for £480 when I ordered from Amazon.de.

Right i went away and tried a few different addresses just in case it was the layout of the address that was messing with the system. Tried 5 different addresses from around the country (friends) and two business addresses (my current and previous) with no luck but i am now thinking it has something to do with what Lakota suggested? as i ordered about £3000 in goods from them before Christmas?
And with a discount i get normally it would mean i would get the Note from from them for around about £350 DELIVERED that's the only reason i am trying to push for this.
Would anybody mind logging into amazon.de and trying to purchase a note for a test? i get as far as choosing an address when it fails so nowhere near checkout? it would make things clear or at least solve an issue because if someone from the UK can still do it, it has to be a problem with the storage of my addresses thats causing the problem.
Just tried the order process again ... I get all the way through to the payment page ... Address went through fine
I order one January 15th, shipped 17th, arrived 19th.
No extras.
Price paid: e546.68 = £441.98 (by my calculation).
Judicous use of Google Translate helped.
Lovely machine. Glad to join this forum.

Looks like Amazon have run out of Notes!
The only links now are to used Notes - 481yoyos! I paid on 450 for a new one.
did you all order new ones? because for used products, the seller can restrict the shipment to Germany.

Yup mine is a brand new white Note ... Amazon.de are showing as having 11 in stock at the moment ...
mine was ordered on the 7th and came on the 9th. you can email custmer service or call them with number given on same webpage. i had to call them a couple of times for replacement. ist ***** hung up on me cause i couldnt speak german. next chap was nice and helpful but phone was out of stock so advised only refund after i sent phon ebcak. but phone worked fine after software update so didnt send it back. having some issues with sd card though, dont know if it is the card as phone works fine without card.
since i had enquired in my email if available for delivery to uk a week or so ago and to let me knw when in stock as i wanted to buy one more note. they emailed me last week saying 1-2 week lead time for delivery to uk so they did get more stock unless they ran out of it again. and yes it was for the black/blue note and not the costlier white one.
call them to sort out your probs. 2 people i spoke to at amazon.de customer service spoke ok english and were helpful but one ***** hung up on me cause i didnt speak german.
wtf yesterday was showing as 503euros now today showing 70euros more!

i didnt call her a ***** because she couldnt speak english. it was because she didnt pass me on to their english speaking colleagues who deal with international customers bearing in mind i called their separate number for international customers (excluding german, swiss or austrians who have a separate free call back number from amazon.de) at my cost on a number they provide for international customers like me.
if you take the time to amazon.de customer services contact us page, and use the option for phone contact, they will call you for free if you are in germany, switzerland or austria. but for other countries they give another number international customers can call. You are the twunt if you expect a company that gives a separate number for international customers to call from outside germany / austria / switzerland but still speak only german. jerk.
for your information they do have customer service operators that speak english and i spoke to two of them who were good. they also have reps who write back to you in engish and they wrote back to me in english. and they wrote back to me in english by email informing me of new stock as i wanted to buy another note.
twunt yes but thats you sir and not me!
why because they allow me to use my uk account name and passowrd to buy from that website with delivery to the Uk and EU wide warranty and they do have reps thats speak and write english, all that ***** had to do was forward me to one instead of hanging up. That goes against their own customer service moto to provide the best customer service of any company.
rant over.
Right I finally got an email back claiming to not know why I can't order a new note (while in stock) and when I asked why I couldn't order from their warehouse they said they do not ship from warehouses to the uk? I would have though most products make that leap?
Anyway with the prices becoming stupid I guess I will just pass in the note for now since it was going to be replacing my half dead optimistic 2x but it looks like I will be holding on a while longer lol
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys/gals, I will be a note owner some day and.....I'LL BE BACK!!!
