looking to buy the Touch HD although it seems orange isnt the best network to be on in the uk as its got limited data usage.
I've recently heard that the HD is coming on T-mobile in January but does anyone kno the actual date?
Also heard rumors it could be running android which some people might find easier to use
Expansys have got the HD on a T-mobile contract now, thay have done for a couple of months. Not the best contract in my opinion but it depends on your usage.
whats the best network at the moment? i tend to use the internet alot and youtube, mobile tv etc

Hi all, I've been here since I had my Himalya, now with my Blue Angel. This has been a great site for all sorts of reasons. I've been dipping between the Porient H9 and the Athena, and well this place has won the Athena over for me.
My question just now is who would be the best Telecom service to get a contract with on the Athena in the UK? I know T-Mobile have the web and walk package, but their reception isn't really reliable where I am. And I can't find the phone easily on O2, Vodafone, Orange or 3 (pah!).
Thanks in advance for any and all help here.

the only provider that does the phone is tmobile. (Ameo)
if you want to use another provider then buy the HTC Advantage x7500 varient (expansys are good) or get an ameo from ebay and unlock it.
I got mine (Unlocked HTC) from expansys on an O2 contract. (saving nearly 300 pound - 320 including postage)
I found them very helpful and informative, and would highly recommend them.
without a decent unlimited HSDPA or 3g connection i wouldnt bother.
Get Tmobile webnwalk and your set.
i went for the htc advantage on expansys as the ameo colour didnt do it for me especially the keyboard, also seen pictures with scratces on the devices.
hey guys,
so my contract with t-mobile UK expires in 2 weeks and i'm due for an upgrade. just wondering - what do you guys suggest i move to? things i'd like is in-built gps, exchange synchronization, and a full keyboard would all be nice.
tytnII is worrisome; don't know about that with all the hardware complaints on it, and i don't know whether its worth upgrading to it from the tytn...
what do you guys say?

Right now id stick with the hermes and take advantage of a free standard mobile phone for a while? the kaiser seems to be REALLY good but it doesnt feel like a big enough step up from the hermes (as i would be paying fully for a HTC device) , the only device which is tempting at the mo is the nike (Touch dual) or maybe the polaris (Touch Cruise) but they don't have the hardware keyboard im used to now.
Perhaps if we see a TyTN III over the next year(s) i may be tempted to get in there early.

If you are thinking about more screen resolution, the phones to look at are:
Eten glofiish M800 (640x480 pixels) Gps, Qwerty Keyboard
http://www.gsmarena.com/eten_glofiish_m800-2163.php
the somewhat buggy Toshiba G900 (800x480 pixels) no Gps, Qwerty Keyboard
http://www.gsmarena.com/toshiba_g900-1905.php
or the upcoming Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (800x480 pixels)
Gps, Qwerty Keyboard
wich is made by HTC and seem to be a slimmer Toshiba G900

800x480 pixels resolution seems to be great to browse the web and Pdfs !!!
ok up for renewal soooo disappointed by how crap t-mobiles offers are. they're either offering me £10 off my monthly bill (after an 18 month contract) for a new 12 month contract, keep my existing phone. OR, sign up a new 18 month contract and get a couple of crap phones for free, or things like the vario III for £150.
hmm.
so i'm thinking one of:
1) renew contract with £10 off and sell my vario II (ebay, 100 quid or so?), and spend £220 on a new phone on ebay
2) screw t-mobile. switch to someone else now
3) lie in wait and see what new innovations htc comes out with
4) switch to crackberry
thoughts guys?
I decided to stay with t-mobile but switched to pay-as-you-go so I keep my number (I dont like to be rushed into a decision). My VarioII handset is still good for the job in hand. So now waiting for a good handset to appear on the market - maybe the SE Xperia X1 which will be available around Jun 2008 time.
I now have the flexibility to go back on contract (with any Provider as a NEW customer = good deals) and stay on pay-as-you-go and buy a handset. Actually, I have found pay-as-you-go is great! On TMobile I can still enjoy unlimited data package for purchasing 5day pass for £2.50 if you need it....
I just opened a monthly flexpay account with Tmobile and am going to buy the Touch HD any day now. Has anyone heard of or done business with this place http://gadgetcircle.com/index.mv I did as much research as I could but there isn't much out there. This place has it available for about 100.00 (604.00 usd) less than anywhere else. Is this too good to be true? Or has anyone been able to find a good deal on the Touch HD elsewhere? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.
i bought mine from r&d marketing / networkingRus.com. currently theyre priced ar 750 usd. i've purchased 3 phones there and get fantastic service. check then out...

Hi everyone.
Im about to take the plunge with my first android based phone. I have just returned the compact 5 / Diamond 2 to tmobile as I wasnt impressed with it. Ive had windows mobile before but just couldnt get on with it on the diamond 2 and the phone did not ring anywhere near loud enough unlike the hero that I have had a play with.
So phoned tmobile today to order the g2 / hero and tmobile tell me there will be a 3rd android phone as in the pulse. Also instead of using my upgrade, I could put my contract sim in the pulse and buy it outright for 174 pound.
Bar a larger screen, hardware looks identical. I am aware the hero is a high end device, but when you look at the specs of the pulse which is supposed to be a low to midrange handset, there only looks to be the camera resolution thats different.
Any news on the tmobile firmware update as yet please as well?
Any satnav software that comes with any recommendations, and hopefully free.
Your thoughts and advice please ???
Cheers
Paul
Get the G2/Hero.
The new firmware should be available for it in a few days. T-Mobile have set themselves a deadline of 28th September to have it avaialble. I know this from official posts on the UK T-Mobile official forum.
Free SatNav? You could try AndNav2 but it's still very much a work in progress. CoPilot Live 8 is reasonably priced and a good product.
Well after much swithering I've decided to replace my iPhone 3G with an HTC HD2, I've gone for it over a Nokia N900 or Google Nexus One as it to me seems the better device than the N900 and also has worked out much cheaper than importing the N1 from the United States.
Couple of queries, its brand new and sealed from someone who upgraded on T-Mobile, does anyone know if T Mobile UK include the pouch for the HD2 that comes with it elsewhere?
Also what should I do first when I get my device, I know there are a wide range of ROM's and cooked ROMs, etc what is the best one to use?

I read somewhere that T-Mobile data can be restrictive in what it will and won't let you use, like IM clients, etc is this the case?
i'm not on t-mobile, i tried to be of some help regarding your 2nd question
