I just got my Vario, but now i am thinking that i should have waited for the Vario II (Hermes?). Have i made a mistake? Should i send it back under my 7 day return and wait?
aint being funny but i fink it looks crap...

i'd rather have the current Vario...as it's got style to it....that looks like a simple t mobile phone :roll: looks a bit blaah if u get me
Eh? I think it look pretty nice, better than the Vario I. And a 400Mhz CPU? I would not mind some of that.
What should i do?!
well the 200mhz aint bad....plays movies without a problem...music is fine...tom tom works; so it aint a bad phone...
but if your main concern is the CPU speed then go for it...
I think the hermes looks like a great device, an evolution on the current vario. If you can wait and afford the difference in price go for it, i'm sure it will be a cracking device.
Otherwise go for the vario, the hermes being available will not make the vario any less useful and there are already loads of hacks available for the vario.
A tough choice, but bear in mind even if you hold out for the hermes, there is always somethings bigger and better just around the corner.
whichever decision you make enjoy your device

No matter what phone you choose to buy, there will always be something better coming out on the horizon

Agreed, but the when the device is coming out so soon (this month?) it might be worth waiting.
Where are you based ?
I just got a vario and asked about release date of vario 2 ... (Assuming you actally mean the vario rather than i-mate or xda mini S) then Germany will be getting it this month but the T-Mobile aren't planning on releasing it in the UK till Q3 (ie October at the earliest)
BTW isn't it a 300Mhz CPU rather than a 400 Mhz one ??
HTH
Too soon? You mean too late!
I've had mine for aaages now, i'm nearly ready for an upgrade!
Other than that rather tasty looking camera application on the Vario 2 i think the XDA Mini S looks far nicer, as an ex XDA IIi user im finding it very hard to fault the XDA Mini S at all, its a great phone.
The Front-side looks okay to me, but the keyboard is ugly as hell, I like the keyboard of the MDA Vario a whole lot more.
I'm also keeping an eye out for the hermes but i haven't heard anything about any official release dates. I'm leaning toward the Imate branded JasJam but no clue when its coming out. Anyone have an idea? also is its 3g/umts compatible with the Cingular 3g?
At last I heard, the Hermes will not be compatible with US 3G networks, but that may change by the release by Imate or Qtek.

i'm actually looking for an i-mate jamin and i currently have a vario (k-jam). i'd gladly trade mine for yours.
You dont say which country you are in so we can give you valid advice. The vario 2 has a 300mhz processor and uses a microsd slot - so 1gb max for now. It has a better camera but far as i can see does not have stereo speakers like the vario. If sound is a priority or if you already have a minisd card stick with the vario - otherwise go for the vario 2, i am certain that overall it is a better device. see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41660
waiting can be fruitless
I've waited since November for the Nokia N80 to be released. It was always just around the corner. Now here we are in May and still no US N80. There are even rumors that it will not be released due to some G3 issue.
I wish I wouldn't have waited and just got the Cingular 8125 back in November. I could have been enjoying it the last six months.
Point is... you can drive yourself crazy always looking out on the horizon. I would recommend getting the current version and having fun with all the mods. When the Hermes comes out, give it another six months for more mods to come out and the price to drop and then you can switch again if you want. But by then rumors of Hermes II will be floating around with beter keyboard, 800mhz, 5mp camera, built in 10gb hard drive optionsl, thinner, built in GPS receiver. LOL Just my opinion.
My brother just got an N80. I had a friend of mine buy it for him from Saudi Arabia and then had one of my friend's mom bring it with her to texas. But i'm gonna say its gonna be a while (2 to 3 months) until it gets released on cingular.
My HTC P3600 is commin tommorow. My 4th's WM5 mobile.
I have run Qtek 9100, Qtek 9000 & Qtek s200.
Bought a few month ago SE P990i becuase i thought that one should be alot better then WM5 but hell no!
Good choice. Good luck!
Have been using Trinity for three weeks now. Very satisfied with the performance and speed of the device (even though I upgraded from a XDA IIi with a faster processor).
Congrats on your new toy! Just in time for Christmas
Thanks! Arrived yesterday and i feel lucky right now =)
Hi I have just upgraded to an MDA Vario II so am selling my MDA vario I. Its about 6 months old and is Sim unlocked and has one of the most stable qtek rom. It is boxed and comes with everything expected as new and pretty much looks brand new apart from two small scratches on the top and bottom of the handset. I can post pictures if interested - UK only/Sensible offers only. PM me if interested
Help! A few days ago my SD 2gig card stopped working and then my Cingular 8125 started to reset it self when I made a call. Last night I flashed the rom with the 2.25.11.1 WWE that the AT&T website said to use. Now when I try to turn on WIFI, it showes that it is trying to turn on but the icon turns gray again and the little x is on top of it again. So I tried to flash it again and just start over, when the ROM starts to flash the phone turns off and the USB link is broken and I have to do a hard reset... PLEASE HELP

Nevermind
Nevermind I am just going to get a new one from AT&T WOO
Wait a couple of weeks and get the Tilt/Tytn II. I bought an unlocked Tytn II last week to replace my aging Wizard -- the Wizard was good, but the Tytn II is much better.

how much is a Tytn II ?
AT&T Tilt is $550 ($400 w/ 2-year contract); this model doesn't have the front camera, and will be released by AT&T in the next few weeks.
Unlocked HTC Tytn II from US resellers is in the $750-$800 range and is available now.
What kind of price could I get for my year old T-Mobile Vario 2, fully boxed with WM6 flashed? I've upgraded to the Vario 3 and my Vario 2 is just sitting in my cupboard .
I will give you 5 dollars.
Sold
I've seen unlocked ones with wm6 go for up to £200 on ebay.
You should be able to get at least £150 if it's in decent condition.
