SPV M2000

Anyone know when they will be available directly from orange via their website? I would ideally like one on one of their online tarriff's with 250 free texts. Spoke to Orange on a couple of occassions last week but the sales rep had no idea!
Cheers

I got mine direct from orange 3 weeks ago.

Did you manage to get it with one of the on-line tarriff's or was it an upgrade?

Did you hpone Orange directly on their 0500 802080 website number? I've tried them on several occassions but they always say it not available yet and they don't know when it will be!

saw the M2000 in my local Orange Shop on saturday..... so it's definately out.

Mine was an upgrade tarriff. I called them asking for my PAK number and the retentions people bent over backwards to keep my. I ended up paying 90 quid for it and im on a 25/month tarriff.
I've slightly wobbly screen but Orange are going to swap the unit out for me
How kind

I bought this phone from uplands on the 30th Nov, on 400min new contract delivered next day after credit check, great service
At the time was told by orange it was not out on new contract can you beleave it.

I just ordered mine from Orange. Expected delivery is mid Jan.
They have given it to me FOC via the retention department.
If you have one, what software does it come with?

I got mine free , 500 mins £25.00 per month 120 txts..... I spend quite a bit a month and threatend to leave em.....cos my wifes fone V600moto kept dropping signal....

spv m2000
Hi I have called orange today Jan 14 05 they dont have any idea about getting stock of the m2000
I have also called onestopphone shop they are telling me that they have a delivery date on the 19th Jan for the phone as they have been updated on the software front ?
mobilestoyourdoor are also saying 19th Jan as delivery date ?
I have ordered a m2000 on a £50 tarrif from Onestopphoneshop for £9.99
Hope this helps?

Interesting - might be worth contacting onestop about my XdaIIs to see if they are getting updated ones in.
Probably not knowing O2 though.

just got to wait for my contract to run out, not for another 6 months or so then ill demand one on upgrade :shock:

Has anywhere got the Orange SPV M2000 in stock!

I must have tried around 30 different shops, online retailers, Orange shops etc. but no one has the M2000 in stock and dont have a date from Orange! A lot of shops including CPW have not even heard of it. I know many people got them months ago and I have one on order with Onestop since 5th Jan but I'm getting annoyed with waiting. I would go to O2 for an XDAIIs but its £249 on the same contract as Orange have for £109!
Any ideas where I can get one?

maybe they are gonna release the M2500 instdead aka XDA IIi

Yes mate, im in exactly the same boat. been pissing me right off. I missed the last stock by a couple of hours. said theyve all sold out an hour ago, back in december! Been in contact ever since, always saying coming next week...
Last week though they said they had stock in, theyre quality checking it as had so many problems with last stock, espcially the keyboard and firm ware. once theyve been passed, they'll be getting more in bigger batches and faster, so if not on list this week, should have within a couple... Ive heard that before. im well tempted to leave orange for o2 if i dont have in mid feb. Just hope this phone is worth it.
If anyone knows anything else, like orange are leading us up the garden path, please post and inform. Ive asked numerous occasions and they said "its not discontinued, just had problems. It is coming back and is very popular"

m2000 back in stock
got mine yesterday, been waiting since early december. they are shown in stock on orange web site and orange shops are getting stock daily.

I got mine on 26 November 2004 from Orange shop in Brighton, they had two in stock then but were expecting more. You might want to try your luck there. Orange web site still says coming soon I don't know how they can sell in their shops then.

Orange shops up and down the country (business stores mainly) are refilling slowly but surely.
More stock expected throughout this coming week.
Ive managed to source 5 of them from local stores for my customers, bet you wish you had a phone trainer like me in your local that would do that for ya!
Tough work though, other shops didnt give stock up easily. Had to get rough wid em

My local A1 Comms store had the M2000 in stock, and a demo phone too which i've been playing with this morning.
Tomo in Mansfield had the MDAIII but only the display one
The Link employee looked at me and dribbled out the side of his mouth when asked about any of them (M2000, MDAIII, XDAIIs or the forthcoming VPAIII from Voda). I guess that's a no then.
www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk seems to have them all (apart from the yet-to-be-released VPA) in stock and on blinding deals too - I'm gonna go for the M2k on YP400, handset price £9.99 - friends have bought from here without trouble on many occasions too.

finally got my order from onestop after around 30 phone calls to chase it, so I have a brand new m2000 in my hands! just getting to grips with it as im used to a p900. any tips from the experts on which 'must have' software i should purchase? thanks to everyone (particularly on this thread)

'me me'

That should be today

Latest Update From O2 UK Support
Hate to rain on anyone's parade but Select O2 Customer Service just told me that "WM6 will not be available as an upgrade for the forseeable future. We are shipping some Orbit units that have arrived from our supplier with WM6 already installed but the majority of boxed units in O2 stores or direct from us still run WM5. Our technical department tell us that the upgrade is in the pipeline but no confirmed dates yet. I will be really suprised if it is released today because we normally get advance warning and there has been no such notice to date."
So.......... "Computer says Nooooo!"
Sigh!

oh god thats ridiculous.
why the hell was the website updated?
the page is still there!

Futher Info on WM6 Update
Ok - went into my local O2 store here in SW London and asked to see an Xda Orbit - was shown a new, unopened, boxed unit and they kindly powered it up for me and it was running WM5. However....one of the store workers showed me his own Orbit that he got two weeks ago and it was running....you guessed it....WM6 - O2 badged!
After explaining the situation to them in the shop they rang around several departments and got the "no idea what you is on about mate" reply until they called the XDA repair line who said that the WM6 software will be put on as standard to all Orbit units shipped for repair but that new units shipped from HTC since June will have WM6 as standard but older, stock units will still be WM5. They also said that they were not aware of any upgrade being released in the near future. The guy in the O2 Shop seriously stated that as I was paying for insurance to send it in for repair and they'll upgrade it anyway as de facto service!
I then proceeded to go into the nearby Maplin store as I needed some cables and the guy behind the counter saw my Orbit and asked if I liked it - he then proceeded to show me his - bought from new (from local O2 Shop) in May and it was loaded with O2 branded WM6!!!!
Errr...is it me or has the world gone nuts?! Must be global warming! Thinking of setting up a new website called "confused.com" - dammit! already gone....

The World Had Gone Mad!
Well that just about sums it up - went and had one last look at the Orbit section at O2 UK and bu**er me if the update is not there! Rang O2 SELECT and they casually said that it was always slated for release today - I then went through the previous days scenario and explained pretty much what I'd posted earlier and I could hear them shrug on the other end of the line!
Phoned the local O2 shop I had visited earlier to let them know that the update was available in case other frustrated Orbit users called in and the assistant just laughed and said "we juss work 'ere mate - they never tell us nuffink!"
Downloaded, installed and now I wait for the WM7 saga.....

shortage of desire?

hi folks,
the network i'm on in ireland are telling me they cant get any new desire for at least two weeks.. that there's a europe wide shortage? any stock issues elsewhere?
Cheers,
Mick

Yeah, I had to wait 3 weeks for mine from Vodafone, although admittedly the volcano didn't help.
It seems like other people are having problems with Vodafone, looks as though HTC underestimated the Desire's popularity.

Got it in Holland, didn't have to wait they had a couple of desires left. The guy told me they sell very well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out of desires before ordering new ones.

The same situation applies in Greece too.
HTC Desire is not available through any carriers, or even online shops
which usually provide cellphones much earlier than official shops.

First I ordered it online they told me I had to wait 4 weeks. Since I didn´t want to do that. Than I called a shop and asked if they had it in stock. They just had one left! So rushed to the shop and bought mine

Yeah, it's been selling out everywhere. I got mine in Dublin on the day Meteor released it, I had to ring 4 different stores because they were booked out in most places. I got the second last one they had in stock in Grafton Street (and they only got them in around mid-morning).
And apparently Vodafone and O2 hadn't even planned on stocking it until their customers kicked up a huge fuss on the forums... I guess they were concerned about it eating into 3GS sales. Although maybe I'm giving their business acumen a little too much credit there... the way these guys operate in this country it wouldn't surprise me if they just couldn't have been bothered. Wonder how many customers O2 and Voda lost due to Meteor jumping in ahead of them with the Desire. (Me, for one!)

There goes a possible answer...

Clove.co.uk have been out of stock for weeks. Their last shipment was completely taken up by existing pre-orders, and (opinion) the same may happen with the current shipment too (due about the end of this week, exact arrival date tbc)
play.com claim to have stock - but I think they are fibbing
So, on the one hand, "Yay" for the Desire.
On the other hand, "C'mon, HTC [& samsung]! Get a move on! (but make sure you glue down the screens properly )"

Vodafone NL had a notice in the online shop saying it's not available for 4 weeks. Glad i got mine by mail the day it was released

Tis good news.
Well from HTC's point, you can't not update to 2.2 as the sheer amount of people buying them. IF the nexus one stays as the 2.2 Desire then sales will fall as people buy them instead.
So I am hopeful of June 23rd

Yo I got mine at the very beginning in Hong Kong with a hkd200 which is around 30 usd higher than the original price.
Luckily I made a decision to take it from the store otherwise I might have to wait for five days to two weeks for the phone.
Desire, what a great name.

Clove.co.uk seem to be fulfilling pre-orders
As far as I can tell, clove started dispatching pre-ordered Desires yesterday (2/6/2010).
Their site still says "Stock delayed until the first week of June. Exact arrival date to be confirmed" but they probably recieved enough to cover some of the existing orders in the pipeline (mine included!)

I bought mine online as well got it had it for two weeks, but I had to send mine for repair, inner earpiece stopped working, and they said they need to replace it, also saying there is shortage have to wait a week or two, not to sure.

Yes, I think you are right. A big desire user base will definitely help ensure (a) future update(s). Bad after sales support for a large user base will also mean large public backlash when people are starting to lose faith in htc their support.

There's definitely a shortage going on. Virgin Mobile (UK) have said that there's a stock shortage on the Desire in particular and it will be ongoing through the WHOLE of June and MOST of July (Probably the whole of July, they said).
They're getting a small shipment in on the 7th, but it's a VERY small shipment. So small, they're no longer selling them on anything less than 30ppm contracts! And that's only to existing Virgin MEDIA contract holders.
Glad I got mine when I did lol

[Q] Buying The Galaxy Nexus In Germany

Hey Guys
My friend going to Germany and I want him to buy for me me the Galaxy Nexus.
Since we do not know Germany (by the way,he is going into Munich), I'd Glad if anyone can help us and tell me where it will be possible to buy it on Nov 17 Germany, Munich
Thanks in advance!
P.S
I heard they sell it in Vodafon as sim-free, Is it true? If so, where it will be possible to buy it there?
Thank you!
Sorry if I went through the Forum Rules..

Hello, I'm from Germany and I would advise your friend to preorder it to a German postal address (by Amazon.de or cyberport.de). I doubt that Vodafone or O2 or even big stores like Media Markt/Saturn have this device exactly on the date of release in stock.
Also, I would suggest him to be there a bit longer (talking about 2-3 days) than just until the 17th as there is no guarantee he'll have it in his hands on exactly this date.
If anyone else has another idea, go ahead. But this are my best 2 cents I have.

Tell your friend to look for "Vodafone" and "O2" Shops, they have been confirmed to carry the Galaxy Nexus during the UK launch of the Galaxy Note.
You might want to look for "Debitel" Shops also since you can already pre-order the Nexus there (for a good price: 530€).
But none of them said they would get the Galaxy Nexus on the 17th yet.

Mobilcom-debitel is also selling the Galaxy nexus without branding or sim-lock for a very affordable 529,95€, you might want to check that out.
Nice to see a thread for German sales in particular. Does anyone know if the 32GB model will be for sale here in November?
Regards
qwer23
edit: Just re-read the post above mine and saw that this shop was already mentioned - sorry!

Back to the original question, will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November? Because in Mobilcom-debitel it says you can only buy it from week 47 (November 21st)

The last time I wanted a SIM free phone at a German Vodafone shop, they wanted me to become a subscriber. No thanks.

will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November?

You might be out of luck. It looks like week 47 is the earliest date to get the Nexus in germany. There are a few sites stating Nov 24 as release date (= week 47) but nothing more concrete has been made public.
Edit 2011-11-10:
Ok, now o2 germany also said they are expecting the Galaxy Nexus to arrive in week 47. https://twitter.com/#!/telefonica_de/status/134322435293057024

I just realized I have family in Munich. Does anyone know if an unlocked GSM is currently on sale there and what the price would be in American dollars?

Anyone know of any German sites that sell to the rest of the EU that can also actually be contacted?
Handyattacke.de simply won't respond at all and mobilcom-debitel.de seems to be domestic delivery only.

It should be available during the next few days. But I don't what is happening now because of the Volume bug. Most of the shops have the 2. December as a date.
The price would be something around this.
529.90 Euros = 712.55653 U.S. dollars

Thanks, but I know about expansys already and they are based in France if I remember correctly. They also charge more than Swedish stores and the release date seems to be the same. The reason I asked originally was because Handyattacke.de has a noticably lower price while the UK has a noticably higher price.

Hm yeah I saw that but I don't know any other stores which sell all over Europe.

Check out this list of german stores: geizhals(dot)at/deutschland/692132
You could try contacting the following major stores: cyberport, redcoon & alternate
(sry cant post urls :/)

handyattacke.de responded when I emailed them on an unlisted email address. They only said they expected them in stock "early december" so not very detailed there. I asked them for an estimate at least.

Apparently they will get it sometime during week 49.

Cyberport seems to the firstone to ship (01.12.2011)

Hi,
So I might be taking a trip to Germany in the end of December and was thinking maybe to get the GN while I am there. Because of ties to the military I will be able to get a refund for the VAT which could mean under $600... But I can only do this if I buy it in a store, not from the internet. Have you confirmed any stores for sure selling it unlocked? I know in my town there is a Media Markt and a Saturn as well as T-Mobile, O2 and Vodaphone stores.
Thanks

Hi,
Vodafone and O2 having this phone in their "upcoming models" list. I presume they will have it by Christmas.
Good luck.

Update:
MediaMarkt is selling out GalaxyNexus since yesterday (30-Nov) afternoon. Price is 599EUR. (With guarantee that if price goes down in Christmas, you will get the benefit too. I have no more information on that.)
Call your nearest MediaMarkt and reserve one as they've limited (first shot) stocks.
I bought one last night and I'm loving it!
