hi.. o2 germany made me a very good offer.. for the hd2 im combi. with my old 250min contract (35 euro /month)
now they wonna give me the hd2..
should i take a o2 s hd 2? or would it be better 2 get an original HTC one.. for further updates etc..?
can i make all the updates on the o2s HD2 too? without losing the warrantyfor it?

Thanks

Mmmmmm,
I didnt even think they would bother relasing it over here.
I know they are relasing the typhoon very soon
i waited and waited for the o2 xda mini. in the end got told they had no plans to release it in the uk!!! wtf i can't understand for the life of me how this makes finacial sense as i know that the magician has been hugely popular for the likes of tmobile and now orange with the m500.
so i gave up and got an orange contract and the spv m500, unlocked it and stuck my o2 sim back in it! maybe they will release the wizard in a few months instead - who knows?! o2 customer services are rubish and none of them had a clue!!!

why don't you just buy it from buy mobile phones.net? then you get the qtek with 2 years warranty? same phone, unlocked.

hi,
i was just about ready to order an i-mate jamin from expansys when i saw the orange is planning to propose the htc proophet in france.
this is good news, because i am a long-time orange customer and i hope that they will cut me a break on the price.
on the other hand, is there a risk that orange will sell me a htc prophet with blocked rom, or with silly orange funcrions that i can not get rid of ? i would really hate to get a great phone to find out it is crippled...
on a related note, is there any other factors that can make the difference in a htc prophet from i-mate, qtek, o2, or orange. thanks for any help,
scott

It's possible to get rid of the T-Mobile software on the MDA Compact so Orange may be no different.
You can always install a new ROM.
Hi
I'm a newbie, have checked but can't see anyone has asked this specific question before:
I'd like an xda trion but I've been told by O2 it won't be coming to the uk.
So my question is, if I got hold of an unlocked HTC Hermes or one of it's equivalents and put in my o2 3g sim - could I use all of it's features?
i.e. would this be like using a Trion but without all the O2 software etc..
Also is there a recommended model to buy? - i.e. HTC or imate etc
Thanks
Do you really need to stay with O2 ? Because the T-Mobile and other operator deals can give you a 12/18 month contract + Hermes for the same price as a device without contract.

I bought an unlocked TyTN from mobilefun.co.uk aswell as a 1GB microSD (the UltraII one). Works a charm, no rpobelsm(LOL leaving that for irony) whatsoever (apart from ones ive made hehe). Its the HTC branded TyTN but ive flashed it with the imate JASJAM ROM and used the HTC ext rom to get the standard green content etc.... (having tried the updated unnofficial HTC rom, aswell as the dopod rom). 3G works a treat and im still on my O2 online contract (sim only.....1 month rolling contract...£25 line rental...1000 txts and 1000 off-peak minutes)
O2 is pretty good for me and im ok with not having the full speed internet and settling for (around) 1mbps on 3G.
kevino - I wish I could, my current contract doesn't finish until April though.... there's no way out is there?
mrvanx - thanks for the info that's great. Think I'll look for second hand though, it's expensive isn't it.
Also I'll have to look in to all this rom update stuff to get it all sorted.
Thanks guys - very helpful.
Kenny
Kenny,
April is a long way off. I just moved to T-Mobile because of W'n'W. Depending on your usage it may be worth your while to just get a new contract anyway. You can, I believe, buy out your contract if you want to keep your number. Anyway I'm sure you'll know what's best for yourself.
Hi,
Currently with o2 on my Orbit, but really want a HTC TyTN (Hermes).
Does anyone know where i can get one without paying the full price, as o2 aren't getting them in, so the guy in the shop told me?
Thanks

HI
got my new HD2 from o2 2day and its unlocked put my serial in htc site and it let me download the new 1.66 rom whooo!!!
Also it did ship with the 1.48 rom to
Got mine today and came with 1.66 and unbranded i tried a voafone sim in it and was aking for pin, not tried any other ones yet. well happy with it.
Got my new one from O2 today, unbranded, unlocked (tried GFs T-Mob sim) and with 1.66 ROM
Looks like it's luck of the draw which ROM you get
I got mine in december and I have ROM 1.43, looking forward to the O2 upgrade if/when it comes out

that's great but did you get it from o2 direct or through someone like carphone warehouse?

I got it direct from a high street O2 store, Amazin phone and i also got it for free 2
that's great, good to see they've changed to fully unlocked handsets if that is the case.
