Ah good stuff...

I just phoned up them 5mins ago, they still have them in stock- next day delivery- but 1) my upgrade is not due for another month and 2) the price is relatively high; but they offered me £10 off per month on rental for 6 months.

Pics would be good, as well as a quick review :wink:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jazza2:
Got mine today, is currently charging.

I took a picture quickly from my RAZR, so not the best quality

Here are my pics - sorry for the awful quality from my MDA Compact!

just bought mine from talesales and lady said only 32 left :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaso2005:
mine also arrived this morning, but due to so many people buying them it hs crashed the sim registration system so can't use anything to do with the sim card!!

Can people check there backlight on there keyboard because mine doesn't work :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
It only works if it is dark, it has a light sensor on the top right corner. Did you check that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Devious:
Mine seems to work ok now - it didn't at first though I didn't have my SIM card inserted.

Just testing with the Slingbox Mobile Beta the moment..working pretty damn well! :D

I've just got 1.2megabits from the Speed Test website, very pleased!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] xxnoelziexx:
anyone have screen issues? or keyboard issues with these?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Osir1s:
I think the vario has the most accessible/stylish layout of the Hermes series. The TyTNs button layout is comfortable enough but the Vario's is stylish as well, unfortuntely that burgandy or dare I say pink keyboard just puts me further off then a dog and his dinner.

But congrats on the upgrade and thanks for the pics.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] xxnoelziexx:
m8 just showed me his phone next door the thing looks very nice closed but god the colour is ugly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigshape:
the button arrangement does look as if it would be better in use than the herm100 + herm200 but there's no way i could live with the colour scheme...

that's why i endeed up getting the m3100 on orange (+ got tired of waiting for t-mob to release this...)

it's worth paying more for data to avoid the burgandy IMO :lol:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ash99:
DAMN - I hope its not as ugly as you guy say as I've just done the reverse and sent the SPV 3100 back to orange and ordered a Vario II (Hopefully should receive it tomorrow).

Does it only come in one colour scheme ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Devious:
I don't think its that bad - its a matte metallic-y burgundy finish, definitely not pink!

No choice of colours currently.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigshape:
i think it looks pretty good from the front when it's closed!

i just noticed from the pics that the back cover is black...

seems a bit of an odd decision by t-mobile to have chosen a silver front, burgandy middle, and then black on the rear!

is the bloke at t-mob who chooses the colours colourblind or something? :lol:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lininjim:

Hermes is a pda with phone features,

P990i on the otherhand is a phone with pda features.

And symbian is well know as symbiatch. ;)

Having had experiences with P9* phones, I would definatile recommend

the Hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lininjim:
@jeezus, thanks, yes I had a P900 and I've recently had an XDA 2s, I wanted something that fits better in my hand, any idea on comparative sizes?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeezus:
Dunno anout the XDA 2s, but the P900 is few millimeters longer and about 2 mm:s narrower then the Hermes. The weight is about same I think. The hermes feels a bit better in the hand thou.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaso2005:
has anybody's sim that wasnt registering earlier, started working yet? :( Mine still hasnt nor has anyone elses that i know of.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] findus:
I think both Symbian and Win Mobile have their issues, after 4 Windows (MPX200, XDA 2, XDA 2s, Exec) devices now I am moving over to the P990 just because I am so fed up of having to tinker constantly with my phone to get it to do what it should do already. It was a close call between the Hermes and the P990, but to be honest I just fancied a change, and the new Symbian software looks pretty hot.

Just my two cents!

Fin
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lininjim:
uh oh, I've just cancelled my P990 and ordered a Vario II, it will be here on Thu. lol let me know how you get on mate :)

oh thanks jeezus, I'll have mine soon mate, Cheers

Jim
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] findus:
LOL will do mate, I was quite tempted to do the same after ordering my P990 over a week ago from a company saying it was in stock only to then find it wasn't. Fortunately I had a phone call today saying they have it so I should have it by Thursday hopefully. Should be quite interesting to compare the TyTn and the P990 rather than just religiously slating either Symbian or WM5 - it's amazing how passionate people get about these things!

To be honest I don't think there will be much in it as on paper they are pretty similar and they are clearly aimed at the same people, it just makes me a bit sad that I won't be able to get any help from this forum with a P990!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
same thing with me. :( SIM just doesn't registed to network and when i put it to different phone, it says 'SIM rejected'... T-Mobile yesterday (tuesday) said they need 24-72 hours to solve it. so far i'm using MDA with my Virgin Mobile SIM card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nolovelust:
same here 24 hrs past called them up they said there was an error and will be sorted in 24 hrs :S
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lininjim:
got mine this morning at about 11:00 am

sim card registered straight away, voice calling and using gprs (picks up 3G when I go outside) and everything, I'm impressed with W&W already, chatting to my wife with msn messenger :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bydandie:
I'd watch that, that's against TMUK's T's and C's for W 'n' W. You may find yourself being billed for the data outside of the tarrif.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
Guys, I'm thinking of picking one of these up.

A few queries:

-Is the vario really that red colour? Eugh.

-Does it have the video call button? Some reports say it doesn't.

-What exactly can you do with web and walk?

I don't need any voice talk, just the data really, and will dual sim with my O2 monthly contract. But is web and walk the best way to get a data tariff on this phone? I spoke to Orange today, who said they'll be introducing a tariff equivalent to W&W in a couple of months.

Muchos gracias!

HERM300? Was that a typo or are there now three hermes variants? :shock:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lininjim:
bydandie it's installed on the phone so I'm using it mate. :)

currently using it on wifi :D

vijay555 yes it's red but its quite nice, it does not have a physical video call button on the front just an odd little bulge, but when you use the screen dialler the video call option is there.

sleuth herm300 is correct, check wiki

got my vario II

got my Vario II (Herm300) on wednesday 23rd and it is being replaced on friday as the back light on the slide out keyboard is not working.

initially told by tmob cs that is does not have a back lit keyboard??

hopefully the replacementwill be ok.

anybody else had similar problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eva_d:
Re: got my vario II

sometimes keyboard light turns on with little delay so it may give impression that it doesn't work properly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
1.2 Mb....now that's what I'm talking about!!

That's fantastic speed Devious. I just got my Vario II today and love it already, but I'm connecting on 3G/GPRS (slow as hell). Am I missing something? What did you do, or more to the point, how did you connect and how did you check your speed exactly? Do you mind sharing your knowledge? Cheers. :wink:

P.S. Did you get yours on a unlimited Web&Walk Plan?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andynumpty:
Well i've just noticed that my key board light only comes on after a button is pressed not automatically.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chris_khho:
Dear all,

Can you tell me how you get the phone (pls provide link or telephone no.) and how much is it in total?

Since I will not use the phone service in the UK, I will just ask my friend to buy it for me and I will pay him the phone and the one year service.

I need the cheapest overall deal....

I like the HERMES100 or 300 design....not 200.

Cheers,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jaso2005:
If you have the light sensor enabled that is correct, it only comes on after a key has been pressed, if the light sensor is disabled it comes on when you open the keyboard. :)

BTW Chaps, my backlight is now working fine :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] xxnoelziexx:
Are any users using the Vaio II having issues with the keyboard?

What serial numbers are T mobile shipping at the moment?

Any users having screen alignment issues?

My upgrade is due next month and I would like to use it to buy this even though I am not keen on the colour the phone is good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Vario II is good to go with no real issues!!

Just bought the vario II yesterday and till now, no issues at all, except for £G Internet speeds, but I've been advised that it's probably due to having a very weak 3G signal in my home area. No screen alignment issues at all and the colour of the device is actually alot more appealing than the dreadful photos of it! Trust me it'll grow on you in a matter of minutes. :wink:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ripnetuk:
I got my VArio II on tuesday... its a herm300 model, but it had SERIOUS screen alignment issues, so it does happen in the Herm300's. TMob couriered me a new one today, and (touch wood) so far, it seems perfect :)

Guys, I posted a question a little higher up, but due to my inability to read, I'm finding myself perplexed by the way Web and Walk works.

Ideally I want unlimited browsing, voice is not important. What's the best way to get that? Since tmobile is the only operator that seems to be doing unlimited-ish browsing, can one of you guys recommend a fair package that will help me acquire the Hermes at a good price with a good data tariff. I know it's discussed in another thread, but can you give an indication of what you paid for phone+contract, and whether that's purchased online, shop or off t'web.

Apologies for being a newb, but I've always been an Orange and o2 man previously... oh, and a photo would be appreciated. The tmobile colours look somewhat menstrual to me :(, despite what mackaby007 says. There aren't any on display in London Cheapside yet.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Jock:
Vijay - there's a very lengthy discussion going on over at Modaco as to whether Orange are now offering a similar unlimited data plan to t-mobile for £8 per month if you're a Premier or Panther customer. The consensus by the end of the 27 pages is that it is possible.

Hope that gives you another option (and means you can avoid having to live with the colour)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Vario II on Web n Walk unlimited Plan...

Sorry you feel that way Vijay but I suppose it comes down to personal preferrance. I played around with the Vodafone version (which does look better on first impressions) but after having played with the VarioII for a while I just found their metallic Burgundy and gunmetal grey and black a good combination. Best to go into the shops and check them all out.

On the issue of tarrifs, you can get a VarioII on a Web n Walk Flex50 plan. You pay £10.00 pounds for the phone and about £58.00 per month for 18 months. Fortunately for me, I have a good friens that works in T-mobile and can get the tarrif for half price by adding me to their friends and family discount. So if you know anyone who actually works there.....Anyway, in total I now pay £28.00 pm and get unlimited Web n Walk (great speeds if your signal is strong, mine isn't, hence wi-fi when at home). Oh, apparently no downloading of Music or Videos, only surfing! Not a major setback IMHO.

Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention: Bought mine in a regular T-mobile shop
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
mackaby007, thanks very much. I wasn't saying I don't like the Tmobile colours, just that it looks a little "odd". But hopefully once I've played with one it'll grow on me :)

Because Adobe do not care about Android Flash users.

KitKat version is working at all thanks to community, not to the developer... Adobe depreciated Flash some time ago (a year or something?). It's not optimized, that's it.

It's not a drama after all, as the whole world seems to be switching to HTML5...

PS: you may want to try turning on GPU acceleration in developer options...

PS2: you may also want to try Puffin Browser from Google Play store, which has newer version of flash included (and really works!), however I cannot guarantee if the performance will be better...

[Shield Q&A] gilrad:
Hey guys,

I use my Shield for interactive ESL classes in a number of schools I teach in, most of the time it's okay because these classes have newer TVs with an HDMI in. Occasionally I have to give the digital lessons a pass however when the classroom has an old CRT-tube 4:3 TV.

Now, I found an HDMI-to-RCA converter I could buy to fix this problem, but I suspect if I were to use it the aspect ratio might get all screwed up.

I'm assuming when you enter Console Mode, the Shield defaults to outputting in 1080p? Does anybody have any suggestions to getting it to output in 640x480 natively? Or could somebody suggest a converter box that adds rowboxes to maintain aspect ratio?

Any help would be appreciated!
