ewhen is the mdaII coming to the t-mobile stores in the united states hmmm
Have you fallen asleep
Sorry mate, but those mdaII are already arround for a few mnths. :lol:
Be a bit more specific, to which country :wink:
"ewhen is the MDA II coming to the t-mobile stores in the united states hmmm"
Must be getting blind
Jezus, its time I replace those lenses, I hope i kissed my wife goodby this morning and not somebody else his wife. :wink:
ummm ur confused
I'm not so certain that T-Mobile USA will carry the MDA II or perhaps they would call it PPC Phone II. With all the new devices coming out, Motorola MX, HP 6000, these devices maybe picked up in the US, before the MDA II and in fact the MDA II may never see the light of day in the US. HTC seems to be way behind production anyway. It is hard to get the device period, let alone a mass production for the US. With all the new devices coming out I'm wondering how well HTC is going to be positioned for the world market, let alone the US, in this form factor.
Hard sayin Mate.
Uh Oh!

Everything I have heard has been that T-Mobile will not be releasing it here in the US. Apparently they are going to market another device here.

there too expensive i was figuring a 500 dollar.. thats how much it would cost if t-mobile in the us carrys it and they told me that they would come in march but they have to wait to get all the manuals and documents to actually release it so they can troubleshoot it too
im wondering if theres a place where the t mobile market keeps a secret to the public to when the xda2 will come out to tmobile stores or if they ever will

I agree with you about the price, $650.00 is about as much as I'm willing to spend and thats with tax included.
hmm i want to buy a xda2 but not on ebay and i live in the us where could i get one
I agree too!!!!
I agree with all of you guy about the price, is too expensive to spend more than $700 for something that you won’t have technical support /warranty/ US plugs, and staff like that!!!!!

Yes it seems that everyone is out-of-stock at the moment. I just came from Thailand and had no luck either.
But have you not given that Expansys link above I would not have noticed a great looking inexpensive new powerPC phone on their pages that is similar to XDA.

Phone seems interesting and graphics chip performance looks REAL good too. I'd like to see more reviews on this one.
.
It does look like an interesting PDA/phone . . . but not having BlueTooth for wireless headset NOR WiFi does limit the device a bit, doesn't it? Sure, it supports SDIO, in which you could use a WiFi or BT card - but not both simultaneously. I use that configuration a good bit with my i-mate.
Still . . . it is good to see the line of available products expanding - pushing the envelope is a good thing!

I agree. Competition should push prices down too
Ps. Anyone know how to get hold of this device??
Parkkuman
Even by o2 standards we're starting to get a bit behind...
does anyone have any inside goss on when the 2i update is due, and what's on it. I'm getting tired of lockups, crap looking UI's and the inability to launch GPRS once I connect it to my car cradle / charger. I've heard rumours of 2005 inclusion, is this remotely plausible? My experience of o2 would suggest otherwise.
I'd ring or email o2 or their staff accounts guys, but I think the average fruitfly knows more than they do. Besides, I like my hair and I would hate to see it all pulled out on the floor...who'd clean it up?
Ant
I agree fully. I purchased my XDAIIi on the promise from O2 that na update was to be release in Spring. This never came and I'm getting so fed up with O2 suddenly becoming very quiet about any upgrade at all, that I'm contacting the Office of Fair Trade to get my contract bounced with O2. Last I spoke with someone in O2 they have no immediate plans for any firmware release for the IIi which is completely contradictory to what I've been told previosuly. Come on O2. SORT IT OUT BEFORE YOU START LOSING CUSTOMERS!!
well imate have said that they will not release 2005 for any of their series og HTC devices so unless tmobile or o2 have a different openion then i dont see it happning
Sean I'm not so sure that the info you got from o2 was accurate...afterall when I tried to ring up a day before (yes a DAY) the 2i was released, I was told by THREE separate individuals on separate occasions that the 2i didn't exist!!
We'll keep hanging in there, but I agree it's getting pathetic now.
Ant
Update
I work for O2 and have managed to find out that the rom update for the XDAIIi has been scheduled for September 2005
at that time it better be wm2k5!!!!
If that's true, you've gotta love the mentality...
New phone = Feb 2005...rumoured update for Spring. Spring comes, nothing. Summer comes, nothing. No update from any o2 source, official or otherwise. Then, suddenly it's gone to September. Also the time the Universal is rumoured to be out.
If it's Sept, then as Zoheer says, it had better be 2005!!

I don't supose you could find out when the xdaIIs update is due as well?
Thanks Frogspit, If that's the case I can be patient until then. The most inuriating thing is getting no information at all from O2 or even denials of any update at all. It's like being stuck on a London Underground train thats not got going anywhere and the driver doesn't give any information. It really [email protected]@es people off and drives them away from their service.
The official reply given by the o2 second line team (data support) is that its "highly unlikely" that o2 will offer rom upgrades to wm5 for existing devices.

Update
This information has been obtained from one of the members of the blackberry/tech support teams (non customer facing) within O2, I have been told as well as the O2 active update there is going to be a full rom update in or around the same time. this rom update will be the similar as the one that is currently available for the XDAII.
Included with the new rom update will be blackberry support for the XDAIIi aswell for those of you who are interested.
I have requested to be part of the beta test will post again near the time
This may coincide with this -
o2 music player
Xda II - Coming Soon
Get the latest sounds on your Xda II by downloading the O2 Music Player.
http://music.o2.co.uk/players.html
They may add the music player into the o2 active software which would require a ROM upgrade.

jdee246 shame on you for doubting me!!! rom update is now available from www.o2.co.uk/xda FULL SMUG MODE NOW
Don't see what you've got to be smug about. You got the date wrong and you were wrong about blackberry being in the rom.
Smug yes very
Yes got date wrong but they managed to launch early than anticipated so not totally wrong!!! and you were the main doubter as for the blackberry support they withdrew it due to technical issues what do you want 'the moon on a stick!!!!'
i dont think he / we want the 'moon on a stick' i think he / we want o2 to stop making promises which they clearly cant deliver.
i too upgraded from an xda2 to a 2i on the promise of blackberry support. its amazing that a company of o2's size and with the amount of money they make that they cant develope, test and release in 5 plus months something they only until recently kept saying would be released "soon"
total shambles to be honest
steve
There won't be a release for wm2005 on XDA IIi so start saving your money for the HTC Universal. Don't ask me how I got this info, but it is the fact! Too bad for all of us Xda IIi owners. Especially because I paid 1200 us when they first came out. Ouch!

You announce to all on this board that the release will include blackberry, and when it doesn't we're accused of wanting 'the moon on a stick'. That's very arrogant. You bloody announced it!
To be fair to O2, this is RIM software, and from what I'm hearing its RIM thats failing to come up with working software. But I do get annoyed when arrogant dickheads come onto this board, promise things that turn out to be complete rubbish and then blame us for it.
Frogspit, if I'd gone out and bought an xda IIi on the back of what you announced, because I want blackberry, now I really would be pissed off, and I'd be doing a lot more than just sounding off on this board.
Hi all,
I've decided to bite the bullet and switch carriers just so I can upgrade from my HD7 to the Titan. Keep in mind I will be unlocking the phone for use on Telus in Canada which is compatible with AT&T 3G.
However I am trying to figure out if there is any benefit to getting the AT&T variant over the unlocked, unbranded model.
I see that on the box for the AT&T model it shows 4G compatible which is cool. So I would assume that using it on Telus would also give me 4G speeds. On the specs for the unlocked model it only shows 3G so I'm wondering if that's not entirely true. I also read somewhere HTC may have included Beats technology in the AT&T version but I doubt it since I haven't heard anything else about that.
I think I'd prefer an unbranded model over the AT&T one but also wondering if anything comes bundled as well that might make one better over the other. Also are the hardware specs identical?
Any help on this would be great
should be no difference or
the only difference is it would be sim locked for their network only the unlocked will work on either telus or at&t without trouble, you could work on sim unlocking the at&t version and that might be a little troublesome, I could be wrong but telus and at&t are promoting FAUX G which is still using 3g with increased speed boost if I am getting this right, hspa+
so the hardware is the same with some minor cosmetic differences (carrier branding vs none) the os and ui with msft strict requirements will be pretty much the same and you could easily uninstall carrier bundled apps, since you do live in canada I would just get the unlocked euro one, you will and I do notice that it switches from H to 3G and then E for Edge every now and then, but if you know how to do it get the at&t version and sim unlock it
Well the unlocked unbranded version uses 3G on 850/900/2100 MHz. AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz. It appears to me that I'm getting HSPA on my Titan, but not HSPA+, but I haven't really tested it very much. You'll have to check what Telus uses for HSPA+ to check if that will work.
Holding down the Windows/Start button brings up the Microsoft Tellme voice activated stuff. It works fine, but the lady has a British accent. This isn't a big deal.
The charger that ships with the unlocked version is the British Standards 1363 plug. Mine also had a BS 1363 to NEMA 5 adapter (aka UK to US), but it was separate from the box, so I think the company I purchased from, eXpansys, threw that in for free. Of course it includes a micro USB charging cable, so any computer USB port or USB wall charger would work, even if you can't use the included charger.
and you know what too with that womans british accent i think the phone is programmed to understand english with an accent, my voice to text experience has been less than stellar lately and my british accent is terrible LOL
Thanks everyone for the info!!
However I'm curious as to which model will give me HSPA+... If anyone can confirm that I'd appreciate it
it dont matter IMO, it's so fast already i love it

Get the ATT version. The unlocked Euro version will not connect to the same 3G bands. As for 4G don't get your hopes up there is no real 4G yet. Until a standard is set any one can say it has 4g if it. 000001 MB over the Max 3g connection.
Well I took my chances and just bought the ATT version off a seller on eBay. We made the deal for $630US incl. shipping. I don't know what the phone sell for off contract but it's the cheapest one I could find that wasn't already open or used. He also sent in a request for an unlock code for it so I'm hoping we'll be able to get one.
I remember the horror when I couldn't get an unlock code for my HD7 and had to wait a week before the codes were available.
Anyway.. it's being sent by UPS so should have it by Weds next week Now I hope it's not a lemon or I'm screwed!!

Go to the Ace hack kit thread for the inspire and read it. Unlocking it is simple as long as you read the manual and have a little common sense.

My dead-end problem.
mine come from UK, and yes, the lady inside the phone almost never recognize my English Voice Pattern, even the simplest: IMDB.
It is funny when i am foreign, i was studying British English at home and now only Americans can understand me. LMAO.
I mean, my HD7 T-Mobile almost never have trouble in using the voice to open stuffs, but my UK Titan is a pain in the ass.
By the way, i would recommend double check everything because my turn-by-turn Navigation of Bing maps doesn't work at US for UK version. If you are really need Turn-by-Turn, i would recommend the AT&T version because it is designed for US Road, maybe Canada too. But we also have other alter maps like Nokia Maps is coming out, or navigon... blah.
If not, the Sim-Free Quad-band Unlocked Titan from Europe is also sweet. I can hit home anytime and use any sim without paying $30-$45 for an unlock code and worry about 3G Frequency since it is the world phone.

That is true. I have this problem and no solutions exists yet. "Display language" in the Settings has "English" with no US/UK selection. It is UK effectively. Bing Maps will therefore have no voice guidance, and speech accessibility (announcing caller name, etc.) don't work, and you need to have a British accent for it to understand you.
I guess we'll have to wait for an AT&T ROM to flash on our devices.
this is true! i just realized my bing maps doesn't work either, it shows my location and will tell me where something is in relation to it but it cannot give me directions, thank god for the turn by turn navigation app which i use frequently, bing maps cannot provide me directions, and it would be great if my voice to text would work as well, yes we will have to wait for some cooked roms to come our way,

my thing is and I don't know if any other us euro titan owners are experiencing this, but i have a great rate and unlimited data plan with at&t because my device is not recognized in their system, if I were to install and at&t rom in the future , would ma bell immediately see my titan and slap a capped data plan on my account?

Starting today, they will probably recognize your phone... lol
Doesn't matter which ROM it runs, they can see it as "HTC Titan" and apply any restrictions they wish.
From the ATT site on the Titan specs: *4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul.
Also, ATT sells the Titan new for $549.99 without contract and free shipping.
See attachment
I was in a mall today with 2 outlets for the AT&T Titan: the Microsoft Store and an AT&T store.
I entered the IMEI for both shops' floor models into htcimeiunlock.com, and for both of them the site claimed to have the codes immediately available, for $25. I've had good luck with that site in the past so I believe that at least for the first batch of Titans the codes are readily available for $25 or so.
Contrast that with AT&T, who probably won't have or give the codes for months, if ever.

what codes are you referring to? the $25 app cards? everyone is going to get them, i don't see why at&t would take time on this, this is sanctioned by msft, all you have to do is go on the msft's own side enter your imei proof of purchase and voila you get a $25 app card mailed to you i believe
and also at&t is a great network! they 10x better coverage than tmobile, i've had horrible experiences with tmobile letting me down, you can have the bestest shiniest most advanced phone out there and but its a useless paperweight if your carrier lets you down
"Codes" == SIM unlock codes (thought that was obvious from my mention of "htcimeiunlock.com").
Good luck getting them from AT&T any time in the next few months, even for a phone purchased at unsubsidized price.
Not a big deal for some folks, but some of us like to travel abroad with our phones and use them with local SIM cards, which makes unlocking critical. Fortunately, there's a non-AT&T source for the codes for HTC devices... you're SOL if you want to travel with a Samsung Mango phone!
On my Lumia 800 I have these two issues and not on my HTC Titan. Hence I am presuming it is device specific bug and not OS related or services related.
1) I can't get my twitter to link on Lumia. Every time I add it, it does 'connecting to twitter' for a few minutes and then takes me back to emails+accounts. Nothing is added there, in people hub or under me tile!
2) I can't open any links - in emails, facebook, news articles, blog posts or IE! I tap on the hyperlinks and it does nothing!
Anyone else heard/know of these issues? Any solution suggestions?
I've done a hard reset and this is my 2nd handset. First one had exactly the same issues. Plus battery only lasts about 4-5 hours on this as well as the last one.
Got it on contract with o2.
Have you got the latest firmware? 1600.2487.8107.12070, That was meant to enhance the battery issue, Links working from emails etc on mine ok, gave up using Twitter so can't really comment, Hope ya sort it.

Did you give up twitter because you don't tweet any longer or you gave up because you can't sync it as well?
Know anyone else who had something similar?
I've talked to Nokia support, Nokia care, Zune support and Windows Phone UK - none of them have a clue!
I've been to O2 store twice now, they keep hard reseting my phone ffs and still doesn't fix anything!
Now they want me to send in my phone for repairs. Only had it for like 5 days and already had 2 replacements both with same issues - am sure it isn't a repair issue here :s
No gave up Twitter because it was ****e! and mainly on PC, but I did use it on my titan briefly with no problems, Don't know of anyone with similar issues sorry, Is it a branded O2 handset? I have an unlocked lumia but not sure where it originated/carrier wise as was from ebay, I would ***** slap the counter staff and get either a working one there and then or tell them to replace it with a 900, Really cannot think of why you cannot open links?
Read a few reviews of the twitter app and peeps complaining about not being able to log in etc, Maybe it's a lumia thing?
Or even a Giff gaff problem that is assuming ur still using your sim?
Try a different sim or even wi fi alone to narrow down your options.

It's a branded O2 handset. Giffgaff lives in my Titan. O2 micro-SIM in O2. I have a feeling it's got something to do with O2 branding. The unbranded one I tried before buying this was awesome in every way. I would love to get it swapped for 900 though Sadly we don't even have one yet
No way you can cut your giff gaff sim down to try it? Shame as I just sold a black lumia on ebay unlocked etc, can you cancel the contract? If all else fails pre order a 900 from phones 4u, I did and its £36 pm available from the 27th.
##634# field test, run all tests? worth a go maybe.
What happens if you're connected via WiFi??
Twitter is apparently currently having an app linking bug "new features" or something.
If you're a new user you're out of luck for the time being. But if you had a signin earlier you're fine.
At least remember there being a report about it or something.
I want a handset only as I'm on Three but I was just wondering where I can get the handset? I cannot find any info anywhere for anything other than EE which suck with their crazy prices and low data caps. Also if I manage to get one will it support Three's eventual 4G release as they will be using 1800mhz?
Thanx.
Id be interested in picking up a yellow one.. My local phones4u had a demo one out but knew nothing about it :S
I emailed Stephen Elop directly about this, and to my surprise - he responded, all be it very vague.
I aired my concerns about the limited sale on EE - and asked if there were any options coming for SIM-FREE. I understand why his answer was vague, as I could be anyone at the end of the day.
But it doesn't look good for those of us wanting one without signing an EE contract in the UK anytime soon..
I'll just not buy one then, their loss :\
I have a yellow 920 on pre-order that due to arrive tomorrow with Phone4U. However, there is a lot of confusion about if these handsets are locked or not. I really don't want to use Orange / T-Mobile / EE as I am currently happy with Vodafone.
So funny how Nokia have released their best Smart Phone yet and most people cannot buy it. Firstly it is EE exclusive and they've said it will be until at least next year, secondly all handset only phones are locked to EE as well and thirdly EE prices are stupid and offer barely any data.
I would have been quite interested but WTF are Nokia doing?
I saw the Lumia 920 in Phones4U yesterday. Lovely looking phone but Nokia messed up. Personally for me I waited long enough for this phone to come out but with all the shenanigans around it I couldn't wait any longer. I hope you guys are happy with it. I went with the Note2 in the end. A truly amazing phone!

Madness isnt it.
Quite fancied this phone to pair up with a Windows 8 setup, but they are making it impossible to obtain one.
It's the only WP8 of the bunch with a stand out feature.
Here in Germany where I live you can buy the Lumia 920 factory unlocked no problem.
This is where I ordered mine for example: https://www.handytick.de/handys/nokia/nokia-lumia-920-black.htm
They say that they ship outside of Germany on prior request only but maybe you can try to contact them and ask if they can ship the phone over to the UK.
Here is their email address so that you don't have to try navigating that German website: [email protected]
Hope that helps.

This is nuts. I fear that Nokia with the only 4G WP8 device on the UK market and with a killer camera & touchscreen are going to really muck up this launch.
For starters, if I'm paying £460 for a phone I don't want to be limited to a Red or Yellow one! I'm 6 months into a 24 month contract (on a GS3) and want to go back to WP. I want to future proof myself so 4G is a must but I want a phone I can sell easily if & when the next toy comes along. A Red Lumia locked to EE is none of those!!! I really do hope Phone4U will be selling unlocked phones and not just Red & Yellow one's. Otherwise I'll sadly end up sticking to my Galaxy S3
A bright red or yello phone just says 'mug me'

Is it definitely unlocked, no trick?

I can't deff confirm it because I haven't received mine yet but since the auction on eBay where I bought it from (which was from that store) said that it is SIM free I'm pretty that it will be.
Besides that it's pretty normal here in Germany that you can buy almost all phones SIM free.

This one on German eBay is a little bit more expensive but it says that it can be shipped within the entire EU (expect some excluded locations, but Poland isn't listed there):
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Nokia-Lumia-...dy-ohne-Vertrag-Smartphone-WLan-/390492880243
It also says that it's SIM free.
This was just the first one I came across when I tried to find a dealer that would ship to Poland though, there might be a cheaper one around too.
Just search for Lumia 920 on German eBay.de or search for sthg like "Lumia 920 bestellen" on Google and you might find some more offers.
If you can't find out what you need using Google Translator just post it here and I'll be happy to help with reading German.

Can you give us the details for this importer? I have a pre order in Germany but I don't have a clue when I might get it.
Phones4U have tweeted saying...
Phones 4u @Phones4u
@cliffkgibson @PhoneDaz Hi Cliff, we're selling this handset SIM free at £449.95 from Friday in store. This will be locked to EE though. Liz

And also you can order a black one on their website on T-Mobile & Orange now! But pretty awful T-Mobile full monty handset price, it's more than the iPhone 5!!!!
Here is the link to T-Mobile tariffs - http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=650613&NetKey=3#offer_details
So I went into my local P4U they are out of stock! It will take a couple of weeks for them to get them in, I was like your the only retailer to have it as you have exclusivity and EE the sales guy was like oh is it I didn't know that! Kmt, smh.

Nokia obviously don't want my money.
I already have an S3 on contract so I was looking to buy sim free but noooo, can't have that.
Can see Nokia going the way of the dinosaur soon.
will EE unlock it if you buy?
just wondering whether you could ask EE to unlock the phone for you, once you've purchased it and signed up to a contract?

Only after you have registered the phone on a Pay&go sim and then wait 3 months.
