Well, cause of very good connections to T-Mobile, we received 6 MDA II last Friday. Right now there are 3 left for selling.
If some of you are interested, mail me at [email protected] By the way, I live in Germany (of course) but I also ship to Europe. And: the devices are DEFENATELY NOT stolen or whatever!!! We received them totally legal via GLS vom T-Mobile!
Just phoned uplands, spv m5000 will be available on contract in 10 days. Prices not available yet as still under testing
I read on another site that it will be available on or before the 1st of November! ... Just a bit longer to wait now hopefully!
Im currently on O2 at the mo (XDA IIi) with about 6 months of my current contract left.
Anyway when the time comes to upgrade, i quite fancy a Wizard ....
BUT i cant seem to find the device listed for any company (Tmobile, Vodaphone, O2, Orange) am i missing something?
Will it be available when i need to upgrade ?
Sorry if this has been asked before, i couldnt see any threads that jumped out at me.
I believe that O2 will have it soon, branded as the Mini Exec..
Expansys
Expansys (UK) have them in on T-mobile (as a vario) for £23.95 on web and walk 100

A few mobile sites have them in Qtek/Imate guises or branded to O2, but stocks seem to be minimal if non-existant. I rang t-mobile yesterday and upgraded for £40 to web and walk 100 for 18 months and the Vario. Recieved this morning and v. happy with it. My MDA compact is now being replaced (though it will be missed).
Hi there,
I have been evaluating the HTC TyTN and I think I'm ready to purchase one. However, they're not available in Australia AT ALL!
I have been looking around and Expansys in the UK seems to have it the cheapest approx (GBP400 + Shipping). Plus, I like the HTC form factor better than the others.
however...I heard some real scare stories about something to do with them possibly not working in 3G mode on the Optus network here in Australia. I can only imagine that this MAY have something to do with the radio ROM - am I right?
I checked the WIKI (see, I did my homework before posting) and there is only ONE where they can't work out the location yet - I am assuming that the is the ROM for Australia - would I be right?
I guess the question I am asking is - am I in for a problem if I purchase one of these in the UK (or other place depending on your recommendations here in this post)??? I really want this phone so I can roam in Japan (3G) and have WIFI to use with Skype and also have push calendaring.
All help appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
It's so crap that they aren't available in Australia. And I live in Perth, the most isolated city in the world! Pfft. I managed to get my hands on a TyTN from eBay though (where I get most of my obscure stuff .. well, obscure in Australia), and I'm on the Three network and it works awesomely. even the video calling is great.
~Louis x_.
I can confirm that the 3G works on Optus as the device I purchased for review worked on the optus network. 3G calls were fine just as they were on the jasjar and the 3g speed was pretty much the same as on the jasjar.
Additionally it may be worth mentioning if you can hold out for a month and if you dont mind paying $1300 (thats a guess but its looking like that will be the price) then the imate-jasjam is set to be released in Aus late september.
hey guys.. i m using my Dopod CHT 9000 with i-mate WWE Jasjam rom in New Zealand with Vodafone. everything is fine with 3g, video calling and 3g data connection. However one thing that is MMS. It is not working in anyway in NZ of MMS. Even i bring up the phone to vodafone NZ , no one can do with it. Hope these info help a bit as NZ and AUS were quite similar in some terms. Cheers

It should work on Optus 3G no problem, mate. The problem will be getting Expansys UK sell you one if they find out you're from Oz.
Also, have you checked the US/Canada options? The devices work out cheaper with the exchange rate, and the shipping is normally faster.
There are a couple of US and Canadian sellers on eBay and also on Howard Forums. Check them out.

Tytn will be available in australia in a couple of weeks. It will be launched by Dopod International and will be called Dopod 838 Pro.
^^ Dopod never have and are not intending to release this device in Australia. Dopod specialises in the asian markets, and at this stage dopod doesnt even have their act together enough to sell the device in Hong Kong where they actually have dopod outlets.
The imate-jasjam will be available in Australia at some stage, however from all accounts for in the short-term (1-3 months) it appears Telstra will have exclusive rights to this device and only they will sell it.
So yes 3G works fine
your options are import a TyTN variant from the internet or alternatively you can pay $1450 and order a jasjam through expansys NZ right now, or wait and see how much telstra charges for these.
on a side note, what good data plans do they have in Aus,
I'm loving paying 3 pound 75 for unlimited in UK ( web n walk friends and relations ) ( less than 10 bucks aus ) but not looking forwards getting back to aus and having stupidly expensive data again....
Email I received from Dopod International (ANZ) at the begining of the week.
Dear XXXX
Thank you for your interest in our company and products.
Dopod plan to launch our company and release the “838 Pro” in the next 2 weeks to the market. At this stage I suggest you contact XXXX @ XXXX.com.au)for an invite to our launch event at Opera house.
Dopod in Aust. on Optus
I have been running a Dopod 838 Pro in Australia on the Optus 3G network for over two weeks.
Dopod have an office in Australia and are releasing their product in Australia, through all of the normal channels.
Works great and is a good solid device.
The International English models already arrived early last week, and the NL and FR versions were set to arrive today or on wensday, but the status has changed and the delivery date has change to the last week of November.
Anywhere else where English versions are available but other language versions are delayed again?
Just bought my HD at the FNAC store in Brussels today. UK version, of course. Vendor told me FR/NL versions were due in store next week.
nl versions here in holland in the shops, just took i walk to the shop to look at one....
I bought my HD NL last Saturday in Vandenborre Belgium
I bought my HD FRL (benelux) Friday 07 november in Mediamrkt Belgium.
Ingram Micro is a supplier, the reason for this message is to tell anyone who ordered or waits for a store or company that orders HTC trough Ingram Micro, will have to wait for the NL and FR versions.
I can surely say it's here now.
It came in today, and I immediately bought it.
I was just on the phone with vodafone NL, and they told me it will come out end december begin 2009 if you want to get it with a vodafone contract. So i think thats also by Ingram Micro.
For those waiting for it to be supplied by vodafone, like me, this is bad news.
I think I will have to look for the phone without a contract. This will hurt my wallet.
