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) !

My vario comes tomorrow... I live in The Netherlands.
T-Mobile in the netherlands had also problems with the vario II stock. But after 2 weeks its solved and they do delivery's from monday!
I can upgrade my phone in about three weeks, just been looking on the t-mobile website and the ameo has gone ??
I know that a new version is due out this month, does anyone know if T-Mobile UK will start selling the new version or have I missed out altogether ??
Thanks Guys
One Possible Thought
I have used TMO US for many years and they will often discontinue one device when prepairing to release a new replacement handset. I am not saying this is the case but based on past experiance with TMO US.
Who knows perhaps they will release a TMO branded version of the X7510.
Cheers
BR
yer i think so, was looking myself, and had no luck. if you go to a shop, you might get a good deal ebcause theyll want to get rid of them?

They will be waiting for AP 4.0 to be released to have an up-to-date device
Dieter
I have just sent them an email to ask
Got a response from T-mobile
They say it is out of stock and they don't know when it will be back in stock
I sent another email yesterday to ask if they will be selling the Ameo 16gb in the UK, and they emailed me back and said yes they are very soon.
Looks like I will be able to get one after all
theres no old ameo on their site, or in shops or brochures...
im getting a new tmob contract tmoro, so im gona see if they have any ameos in stock and ill get another one yay
lol
http://www.ukphoneshop.com/upgrades2_orange.asp?Network=T-Mobile
it seems theyre selling it for £290
it says upgrade, and i dindt go through all the steps
but worth a look if you want one cheap
Rory
Thanks for that but I think that is the old version. Before t-mobile stopped selling it I could have got it with them for £200 as an upgrade. I am hoping that the newer version will cost about the same.
I just wish instead of saying soon t-mobile would have said when they will start to sell it
I bought one from T-mobile this week, used this link:
http://www.ukphoneshop.com/Pay_Monthly_mobile_phone_list.asp?make=T-Mobile
i got this site offering various packages, just you may also try this www.freeukmobilephones.com
After using my vibrant for a couple of months, the internal SD card stopped working. I have the earliest batch, I would imagine, since I bought it on the launch day. Unfortunately, I have no active bell account and talking to Samsung customer support have been futile.
Just wondering if anyone who works for bell, in Calgary, can help me claim the warranty. I do have the original receipt.
Many thanks in advance.
Have you tryed going to a Bell World store? (The one you bought it would be the best)?
obviously take this with a huge grain of salt, but just had a live chat with VZW rep to ask about the N6. I do this randomly just to see what kind of (non) answers I get.
However, this dude fired back with an exact date of February 26th. That date is on a Thursday, which is traditionally the day that Verizon launches new phones. Just struck me odd that he had such a specific answer, and went on to say that he had just recently been given the information.
Of course I've tried to live chat again three times since then, and each one of the reps said that they have no information about the N6 lol.
Take it for what it's worth.

Lol only 4 months after every other provider. Just enough time to load it up with bloat and bugs.
on a sidenote, anyone know why I can't upload an image?
very frustrating.

I was also informed today and "assured" by a verizon rep (via chat) that they would be getting the Nexus 6 on February 26. They also said that the Samsung Note Edge would be coming out January 8th. I guess that will be the first test of this reps information.
My money is on April 1st.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the note edge will be released on january 8th for verizon...no word on the nexus 6 for sure but i have also heard february 26th
Eh, i am not going to believe any rep. As far as this goes, i worked for Tmobile and ATT customer support and we where never really told anything ahead of time from everyone else. We where told to keep customers either happy or holding on with the company. It has been a few years ago from that though, so i dont know if that policy has changed. :good:
I got tired of waiting for Verizon and bought directly from Motorola using their finance program. Received my phone in 3 days Cut down my Sim card and I'm good to go.

A poster on Reddit said he was told at a corporate store the same thing. The rep, after looking it up, said the computer was showing February 26th availability.
and i just asked and was told there is no scheduled release. thats pretty far ahead for a release date anyway.
i just asked two reps and i got nothing out of either one of them
I just want VoLTE already on my Nexus. No voice and data simultaneously is a bit annoying and per usual is probably because of Waiting for Verizon release their version.
Nexus 6 currently on Verizon Network
I recently bought the Nexus 6 and is currently running on the Verizon Network. Originally, the local Verizon dealer refused to add the Nexus 6 phone to the network since it was not a "Verizon Phone". My philosophy is, "Never let a multi multi multi billion dollar tech company tell what they cant do". By saying this, I called the Verizon Tier 2 support and they were able to activate the phone from their location bought using the same simcard number that was used from my Note 2 phone. Now, after two days, I was booted off the Verizon network and was told via message that I need to sign back on the Verizon network. After a few days corresponding with tier 2 tech support, the reason for the booting off the system was i was using a new "nano simcard" which resulted in a new simcard number. Originally, they recommended that i find someone with a new Motorola phone and activate my simcard through their phone ( long story) and then re-transfer back to the new simcard for the Nexus 6 to work but that greatly avoided. As a result, my Nexus 6 is currently working without any problems . Lastly, they will have to submit a "DMD Form" to "register" your non-Verizon phone. Hope this helps.

That sounds like too much work and a big hassle just to stay with a carrier. Its reminiscent of when I had Verizon a few year ago.
I wonder if VZW will try to lock down the Nexus and if Google will let them.
Sorry for the newbie question.
When you said you cut the (VZW) Sim card and inserted it, the phone booted up and you started using it as simple as that?

I think China may get the phone before Verizon.

Yes, that simple. I am with VZW. I had a Galaxy S3 with a Micro SIM. I picked up a punch on Amazon (I didn't trust trying to use scissors but many people have success with them) ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW70ZF6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).
I got my N6, unlocked it, decrypted it, rooted it, transferred apps via Titanium Backup, and then punched the SIM and moved it from the GS3 to the N6. Booted up and it worked. Have not had any problems at all. *knock* *knock*
A Verizon nexus is NOT a nexus. Is just another fully OEM Verizon locked device.

If bought directly from Verizon.. Yes locked boot loader with modified software/firmware tampered trip counter and of course Verizon proprietary bloatware.
The online chat reps are the worst... If it is really true that VZW will carry it on 2/26 add another one to two months cause of supply issues + VZW tramp stamp time.

ordered mine on launch day, was told by a rep all orders will ship out today 6/8 from Texas, hopefully will get it by the end of the week.
i hope there will be custm roms for it.
Just got mine 2 days ago. Other than screen color reproduction being disappointing, the hardware seems solid. Now I just need root and some AOSP goodness to make this my daily driver.

Mine was ordered on June 4th with regular shipping and arrived June 8th.
As far as tracking it did not show up in an email, however, logging into the huawei website I was able to find a tracking number there. Mine was delivered via USPS.
I ordered on the evening of June 4th and received the phone, case, bluetooth speaker & $50 tracfone activation code on June 11th delivered by UPS. It showed as from Amazon.com with the origin of Middleton, DE. The Net10 BYOP activation kit was delivered by the USPS on Monday June 8th.
Phone is fine for what it cost with the promotional deal. I don't care for the Huawei skin/modifications so am looking forward to some custom ROMs. Also hope that Huawei gets a lollipop update out in the next month or two.
I found an auto rotation bug that stops the phone from correctly orienting when it is rotated 180 degrees in portrait position.
No NFC, 5GHz WiFi or wireless charging though I can live without those while I wait for the next Google Nexus phone/s in the fall. This is a gap phone as I dropped my Nexus 5 and the screen is cracked enough to be an annoyance to use. I would have sent it in to LG to get repaired however I can't be without a phone until it is returned.
