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) !

Woot!
Placed an order for my HD2 on Vodafone contract via mobiles.co.uk today =D
Seems to be processing ok so far. Can't get my hopes up until it's all confirmed, but woot!
They say shipping on the 11th (Wed).
Should be awesome!
i put in an order yesterday, current status is "pending". i guess thats the same for you? also where did u see the shipping info?
just got the following email and sms:
Hello,
Thank you for your recent order.
We can confirm that your order has been accepted by your chosen network and has now been passed to our Quality Team for further checks.
Kind regards,
Mobiles.co.uk
all looking good, lets just hope they have the phone soon
I phoned and asked when it was going to be shipped =) They said 11th by DHL
Mine has apparently gone into the security and credit checks. So they said to wait a few hours to get an email about it all.
Hope it all goes through ok. When did you order yours yesterday? What time?
i ordered last night around 7pm. really cant wait for this phone

Still says pending. What about yours?
On Vodafone also. For friends and family. And data of course.
Oops. Double post.
Mines still on pending although i did receive that email earlier. i tried to pre order yesterday from mobilesphonesdirect and they cancelled my order. cheeky buggers also took money from my account which will take 3 days to get back to my account..............

It takes a bit less than 3 days. I had a few orders with them, but my card wouldn't process.
So far it seems ok with mobiles.co.uk
I hope it all goes through. Seems they are finishing bits on yours, as if Vodafone have accepted your credit check, it should be fine =)
I really don't want to be disappointed. Will stop exciting myself.
Well, I phoned, and my order went through credit check fine, and is going through security check was I type.
They said to me, the status will stay as pending, until the phone is actually shipped when they get the stock in.
Sounds good to me ^^
I ordered on the O2 for £25.00 per month as the unlimited data bolt on is £7.00 and I hear bad things about Vodafone’s fair usage policy.

Just had this email from mobiles.co.uk
Hello,
Thank you for your recent order.
Unfortunately, the item you ordered is temporarily out of stock but a large delivery is expected very soon. We have placed your order for this on hold and will notify you as soon as we have more information.
Turnover of stock is often extremely quick and this can mean on rare occasions our website is not up to date. If you have not received an update on the stock situation within 24hrs please contact our Order Processing team
Rest assured that we will not charge your card for out of stock items until they are back in stock and ready for despatch.

Basically, I have passed all the credit and security checks, and now my order is in a queue for when the stock comes in.
It's an automated email to say that your order has been processed, but out of stock (not even in stock, in the case of the HD2!).
I'm so excited!

Nope. I phoned them to check on the status, and they told me I had passed the credit check, and it was going through the security checks.
Then I received that email, about it being out of stock (it's pretty much a confirmation, but as the phone isn't in stock, and it's automated, the system thinks its out of stock).
I phoned them when I got that, and they said I had passed the security check also, and that was order was now in the queue waiting for the phones to arrive, and be shipped on Wed by DHL.

ah ok, was wondering why your order has progressed further than mine
So what price plans / phone costs have you guys paid. Mobiles.co.uk seem to have quite expensive contract deals to get the phone free, and charge a lot for cheaper contracts
My Vodafone HD2 is set to arrive tomorrow, and I know that because of the way Vodafone are that it is going to be heavily branded (White and Red instead of the nice ice cold black theme).
Does anyone know if i can flash it with a standard WWE ROM.
Will let everyone know how it is tomorrow. Got the last one they had in stock today.
if you are getting a HD2 on Voda tomorrow (like me) it suggest you have bought a strapon contract from a site like mobilephones direct (like me) as Voda does not do the HD2 yet. These phones come with a stock HTC ROM and are not branded at all. I got a hd1 on such a contract which is how I know.
Vodafone got the HD2 from today. My X1 came with very minimal Vodafone branding, so I'm guessing you might be ok.
@ Stoolzo - No my HD2 is from Vodafone themselves. They had it on their website for about 2 days and have now removed it (probably cause i got their last one,he,he). Their contract is really good on it also.
£40 a month, 900 mins, Unlimited text, landline calls & internet, and the best part, the phone is FREE!!!!!

I'm not sure if it will be heavily branded. There was some comment about it in the Vodafone forums, someone asking if the black theme that the HD2 uses would come to the Touch Pro 2. The guy didn't say that the HD2 would be red and white.
My last two phones from Vodafone weren't too heavily branded, so I think we might be ok. I hope so at least. Otherwise I will wait to Hard-SPL and flash the normal HTC stock ROM.
According to our corporate account manager at HTC, Vodafone have done no branding of the HD2 at all. It's the main reason why they have been able to come to market before any of the other operators. From what I'm told, the Vodafone HD2's will also be unlocked.
It's the supposed lack of branding that persuaded me to go with Vodafone, rather than waiting for O2. I hope the HTC chap is right.
Bagpuss.
@ Bagpuss... He,he now i can finally go to sleep alright tonight and stop searching the net to find out. I know I'm getting the phone tomorrow, but wanted to be ready to try and get any vodafone stuff off of it so i have a nice clean ROM.
Thanks so much for the info, will let you know how things turn out tomorrow.
magic mind reader
i predict you wont get the HD2,
I predict you will get a txt saying:
"Your vodafone order has been delayed and won't be delivered as planned. We will send you another message with a new delivery date when your order is dispatched from our warehouse.

I spoke to Vodafone last night, and the guy I spoke to also said that as far as he knew, it wasn't branded.

Hi, doesn't gaiden mean F*ck in farsi?
Dam, just got the message that my phone won't be delivered till Monday now, i am so so pissed about it.
Was looking forward to spending the weekend configuring it and testing it out.
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.

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.
Bagpuss.
rather tha adding this to page 14+ of the existing thread I thought it was worth bringing it to frustrated Vodafone users.
Like most I was caught by VF pulling this device, so I tried the other networks, O2 no stock, Tmobile no stock, both unsure when. Tried 6 london O2 shops - no stock.
Rang HTC Europe and spoke to the VF account manager.
HTC line is :After discussions, VF are to contine supplying this phone. It may take until early next week for them to filter this fact down to all sales staff and shops but we should be seeing supplies comming in within the next week,
HTC sales manager asked me to phone if I still keep getting the 'we no longer supply' message from VF after monday next (21/12)
WATCH THIS SPACE
22/12/2009
I phoned VF upgrades up to see what the current VF line is.
Was informed that whilst retail customers will not be supplied the person thought that VF business customers will still be supplied!!!
Passed this on to HTC Europe VF account manager, who stated that this was incorrect and would follow this up with VF and get back to me.
Awaiting a call
Interesting... will definately be watching the Vodafone forums for this.
That could be interesting as there are reports that Vodafone maybe pulling it altogether from sale in favor of iPhone. Here is a original source
Not even on the business web site now was on there yesterday
http://www.vodafonebusinessshop.co.uk/PhonesViewAll.html
i still maintain, this is a poor move from VF
I was with vodafone, ordered the HD2 back in November when originally released on vodafone's website, kept on getting fobbed off with out of stock. Ordered with tmobile on the 1st, took delivery on the 12th. Not alot of stock is getting supplied to shops because they are selling out from the web sales.
Vodafone were a complete bunch of sh*ts. I was told "yes we have in stock right now", I pay for the upgrade and then "oh not in stock". A week later, "Yes in stock", "no not in stock", "General recall", "not selling anymore" ,"yes we are"
The way new customers and existing customers have been treated is disgusting. Have a look at there own forum!
I have to say that I'm proberly one of the few people who got the HD2 from Vodafone when it was launched. Then a fault developed with the screen, however I also got the run around from VF for about a month, with the same story. Finally today (16th December) my local store managed to get me replacement handset, they pulled alot of strings as I'm lead to believe, they also have been told that the phone is being discontinued. But no reason has been given. Also that if this phone goes bad within 28 days then no replacement though they will offer alternatives to the HD2, like what?!
I'm really annoyed by this. After being told by stores last week that retail shops would not sell them anymore, then getting teh email from the eForum mods to tell me that HD2s were no longer available I left Vodafone to join T-Mobile. It cost me two months line rental (£70) to end my contract and get my PAC.
Only today, one of my colleagues at work has had a phonecall from a Vodafone store to tell her that they just got 9 HD2s in!!
If Vodafone are going to re-supply then I've missed out on the free upgrade that I was offered and it's cost me £70. If this is the case I can safely that I'll never rerturn to them, regardless of the handset of deal they offer.
Have you still got the email that says it's no longer available? If so, you could always draft a nice whinge letter to Voda, enclose a print out of the email and ask them to refund the £70 as a "goodwill gesture"
They were telling me the 23rd of december this morning, upgraded and waiting now, did post but someone seems to have deleted that thread. lets hope for next week.
Well bought mine from mobiles.co.uk last week, arrived Tuesday - great device and even better it comes unlocked as well.
Its arrived time for a play
Hello !
So I decided to return to the Windows Phone/Mobile land after an hiatus of a few years (yes with the thing from Apple ). After some toughts I would like to buy the Samsung Focus. I'm with Rogers but I would prefer to get an unlocked device if possible.
I try with few hopes the shops (Rogers and Bbest Buy since they got some flyers with it) here in Montreal but it seems that the device will be available only at the end of month or early next one. Expansys got it (can't put links in my post) but even if I got prior good experiences with them my order is pushed back since two weeks ... Rogers.com seems to have it but when I phoned the customers service they said they don't have it even f they recognized that Rogers.com can.
I saw several threads here about Rogers etc. so it must have some fellow Canadians with advices/information ?
Thanks !
Matthieu
I ordered it from rogers.com and it shipped within days.
As far as I know, its ONLINE only until the end of the month.
Thanks ! I will order it on Rogers.com if i don't have a clear answer from Expansys Monday.
When Rogers opened their limited online launch, I placed an order on the second day.
It shipped Friday, and I received it the monday after (got it on the 15th).
You have to be carefull buying unlocked, because of the time issues on Rogers network (ie. texts come in with a timestamp of the past, or future, annoying as ****).
Yes I saw some messages about this problem, but why ? is it affecting only devices not from Rogers ?
sorry for hijacking the thread, i live in chile but i have a friend in canada who is coming back for the holydays.... is it possible for him to buy the phone for 599 without plan, and if so, will it work on my country?
(im not asking about the bands, from what ive read, i think its compatible. what id like to know, if its unlocked or if i have to unlock it myself)
thanks a lot!
Yes he can but before he must unlocked it. Serach for "samsung focus unlock" on ebay.ca. I saw members of this forums used it succesfully.
Yep, the best and only place to get it right now is from Rogers.com... I ordered mine the day it was released and received it on Friday of the same week. UPS and Rogers were great about shipping it out to me, didn't have any hassles that you can usually expect. Enjoy!

Yeap, I canceled my order with Expansys, they can't get their process right (my order went through all statuses the past two weeks).
I tried to order on Rogers.com but I got weird error during the checkout (JSP compilation error, welcome back in 1996 ). I called the Rogers.com support but I need to wait the fix to order it
