Strange that the cheapest deal you can get a vario II for is £16 quid a month for 18 months....

Rang T-Mobile customer service and they can offer me a vario II on a 12 month flext-20 contract for £15 a month inc. w+w for the first 3 months and the handset is only 89.99 (i'm sure that's what the guy said.....)

Yep, just checked the website --- http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatche...hones_plans&pmid=7297&selectPhoneUse=webNwalk

The total price after 3 months is only 22.50... for 12 months this sounds like a much better deal to me.....

just gotta wait for them to get stock in..... :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shadowman:
Yep, the deals listed are slightly out of date, but if you click on one of them, you can select what you want and there are some further line rental discounts / incentives available depending on the tariff you select.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shadowman:
I have just heard that Orange are cutting their commissions by £60 on 18 month contracts as from 1st October, so looks like the freebies will start to disappear shortly.

I have noticed that the onestopphoneshop deals have all disappeared within the last hour or so. Their cheapest deal was 12 month on Dolphin 25 at £360 but now the same deal is £459 - a £99 increase since 8pm tonight.

The orange deal suits me, as i dont need much mobile data as i have wifi at home and work, and my home broadband is up for renewal anyway, so I have effectively got a FREE M3100 for £26 per month, but saved £17 by switching my broadband deal - so an M3100 for £9 per month including 500 texts and 500 minutes?

sounds unbeatable to me! :D

just to re-iterate though, :!:

The T-mobile deals on www.cheapest4mobiles.co.uk are actually direct from T-mobile themselves, - It is quite correct that the best discounts at the moment are direct from T-Mobile, thats why they are listed as such on the website.

The website simply runs a search over all available deals from a selection of retailers (one of which being T-mobile) and shows the best deal it can find. It also does Carphonewarehouse, onestopphoneshop, Orange, O2 and many more.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Ungh, you've not gone with the Orange Broadband have you?

With its monthly usage cap of TWO gigabytes?

Nngh :X
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shadowman:
errr..... yes! 2GB will be fine for my usage, if it isnt i can upgrade it to unlimited for £10 and still keep the wireless box and home phone call package, still way cheaper than my previous Broadband deal
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrleoni:
A friend of mine went into fones 4 u yesterday, specifically to enquire about Flext. The saleswomen (she says) brushed over her request and asked if there was any other network she might consider too. she said orange (the first network that came to mind). the saleswomen then proceeded to run off a load of information about dolphin 35 (500 mins, 500 texts) and COMPLETELY overlooked T-mobile's Flext 35 (potentially 500 mins and 800 texts) despite the fact that she had pointed out to the saleswoman that T-mobile have the best coverage in her area, and that the price plan appealed to her.

Now I know this is a bit off-topic, but judging by these posts its seems that everyone here has the sense to find the best deals going, be that on orange, t-mobile, vodafone or o2.

My friend's account of a visit to fones 4u makes me wonder what the function of these places is, and how beneficial they are in comparison to the official shops - clearly the saleswoman wasn't looking after the interest of her customer in this instance.

We have seen that there are some cracking online deals available if you shop about, I just wondered if anyone else has had a bad experience with one of these third-party chains, or knows anything about their strategies. I certainly won't be visiting one again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shadowman:
I agree with you Mr Leoni. I too have been into the chains who are determined to sell you what THEY want you to have. No doubt as they are all commission based, they will direct you to the one with the biggest slice for them! Equally though if you go in the network's own shop, they will only sell you a deal on their own network.

www.cheapest4mobiles.co.uk is NOT a shop, it is a comparison website.

I think the point to be made is that the comparison sites look at a range of offers from a number of retailers, including the networks own sites and present you with a list of options to choose your own best deal.

I think these comparison websites have a place. I have had a free mobile and line rental for the last 3 years thanks to this website, before that i was literally paying £40+ per month just for calls and texts with a fairly average handset.

As i have stated in my responses, whilst i do use data, i clearly dont need unlimited broadband speed on my phone, as i get that over wifi at home or in the office.

When i'm travelling i am generally driving, so i dont surf and drive!

There is no doubt T-mobile offer the best deals on data, and the comparison website seems to say that too.... they recommend T-Mobile direct.

I have however noticed that the average monthly cost shown on the T-mobile deals is calculated incorrectly. It actually works out much cheaper than shown, not quite sure why yet......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sunnychad:
Back to the topic guys please...

I have had mentioned to me that the Atom (or Atom Exec) is being looked at by O2 UK for release as well as the Zinc and Graphite. Please can we try and find out as much as possible about these 2 handsets as I know all about the Atom and Atom Exec. Sadly O2 claim to know nothing about the Zinc and Graphite, but someone must do. Good luck and may the force be with you, the hunt for info is on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] omaqsood:
Just spoke a rep in an O2 business shop this morning and apparently O2 are readying a new set of xda phones for release sometime over xmas. There will be successor to the Mini S. He didn't have many details but the new xda range has been mentioned in the internal newsletter.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Buyuyu:
Hi, I just spoke to an O2 business rep and told me that the XDA Trion finally will be released in the UK in January as it's still being tested

Also, he told me that there are no new XDA devices to be released this quarter, so we'll have to wait until next year for the TyTN!

Hopefully this time they are right... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] steverae:
Hi Guys, just ordered my new Vario II yesterday over the phone with T-Mobile direct from SPAIN !!! while i am on my holidays.... cool eh

should be waiting for me when i get home
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChriX:
Just wondering, why would you want a TyTN on O2, what with their highly competitive data tarriffs? I have recently moved to T-mobile from O2 and am not missing anything!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] s4vva:
i will wait for o2. I use my phone primarily for businnes calls and T-Mobile coverage/call quality is just not what it needs to be for business use. (I live in London by the way). Although i am soooo jealous of you guys with web and walk!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Crash Override:
I thought O2 had fallen out with HTC and would be moving away from their offerings.

as per This Article on The Register
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigyellowdog:
O2 UK say they are releasing HTC Armitis (Xda Orbit) at the end of November.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChriX:
Fair enough! There had to be some reason :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] steverae:
That is the reason alot of use mini s o2 customers are jmping ship for the new hardward with the really great tarrifs on t-mobile.....

Got my vario ii in my hand and i have got to say it's not at all pink :)

same size as my mini s, looks alot better imo, just have to wait for my 1gb micro sd card to arrive tomorrow.....

I'm on the flext 20 tarrif 15.00 per month with web'n'walk....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dom_mitchell1:
With the screen shots of WM6 (Crossbow) that have been floating about I'm now toying with the idea of hanging around on O2 and seeing what devcies arrive next year potentially with the new mobile OS. Although, the urge to move to T-Mobile on a Flext 35 with WnW is immense!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] steverae:
well i'm happy with this setup from t-mobile.... they seem to be a lot more clued up on these things then o2 were, just waiting for my pac code now....

missed my package this morning, bugger, i'll have to wait till monday to get it :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pocc:
Hi Guys. Very latest from O2 is that they have broken off relationships with HTC and therefore there will be no O2 Trion (HTC Tytn) or indeed even the Orbit in the UK. O2 have said that they will partner with Asus for their PDA phones!!

I think this is very important news for O2 customers. I was (note past tense) an O2 customer till Friday, O2 had me waiting 5 months beyond contract expiration for new PDA's- when I finally got this answer from them Thursday and promptly went to T-mobile and got my hands on a Tytn (MDA Vario II) with a web and walk package.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shamus69:
@Pocc

Strange that, I have just done exactly the same! I was fed up with O2's customer service, or lack of it. O2's tariff are also pretty poor. I was hanging on for around 5 months after being given duff information. Had enough! Now I am a T-Mobile customer on Flext 25 + web n walk plus.

BTW I heard that the O2 XDA Zinc (The ASUS Hermes clone) will now be out in March, not January.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Karzi:
I have switched from o2 to t-mob flext

Veryhappy with upto 1.8 Mb /sec for 1 gig ! for £7.50 /3gb £ 10 per month unlike O2 5!! MEG for £8 or somthing like that rofl!!

Make the move

O2 are bad value for money and are nowhere near 1.8 Meg speed rollout.

Also my signal seems generaly stronger on T-mob think they have come along way since the German Company brought them Deutsch telecom.

Customer service is very good also.

think they should give me a free phone now for such a good write up :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] street_hawk:
I also made the switch to T-Mobile

When I spoke to o2 about a counter offer which they could make me they did not seem interested.

Customer service from T-Mobile has been excellent so far!

Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.

I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours

I'll post if I manage

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.

...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.

But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fordcan:
Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.

Thanx anyway

I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.

I tried that. It doesn't seem to work :(

I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.

But it doesn't show on startup.

I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.

Doesn't work :(
