Hi Everyone
You guys seem very clued up on the Blue Angel and wondered if you knew when it woud be available in Orange in the UK? And a rough cost.
Many thanks

I don't think a release date has been set yet, everywhere i could find was just "coming soon".
It is available (just)!
Mine should be delievered today

It is not available from the orange webshop yet but is already in some high street shops - give your local ones a call.

I called O2 and was told the release date had been put back to the 4th November and more suprisingly they have not got a price yet.
There will be no trade in or upgrade promo from teh XDA2

Allegedly, I was successful in ordering one yesterday (3rd) - I was charged £279 (based on my tariff/upgrade - it does vary depending on your tariff).
However, as they had 'problems with the computers' my GM order number has not yet arrived.....
I was also told he 4th, And i rang a few times, but no stock (of corse) my last call was at 4pm and i was then told its been put back until the 9th

Well - it is on the O2 online shop now for £249 +min £20 a month line rental. I have a friend in O2 so I am gonna see if there is a staff deal.

I called the local O2 shops - they are so crap!
The one that 2 days ago said it would be in on Friday now says they are not sue in until December. Another simply said they had heard nothing about it.....jesh!!! Neither of them could give me any idea of price...

O2 XDA IIs is available in Hong Kong now
ROADTRIIIIIP!!!
its also available in the philippines now. Im thinking of getting it, but im already using xda2. the landscape orientation for spreadsheets and other softwares may prove to be very useful, other than that, id say the built in wifi is a welcome edition, im not a fan of the qwerty keypad though.
i was wondering also ifthis unit can support blackberry as well
i3oyi3astos,
If you could, please run to the store to play with one and in the bluetooth settings please see if they are still using the 1.0000000000000 version or if they upgraded it.
Second could you see if they have the BlackBerry client on it???
Third, take your credit card and consider it a early birthday gift
Thank you VERY much as I'm hoping they updated these two in the XDAIIs.
its on the o2 uk site.........

Uplands Mobile
I have bought one sim free from Here they have been assured by O2 today that they will be the first in the UK to stock them and that delivery will be shipped next monday.
I personally can't wait until Tuesday, this is the first phone with everything i ever wanted in one device, i am ditching my Treo 600 and palm for this little baby.
Cheers

Hi Richard,
I got my XDA II from Uplands last year and I can't fault them, so I'd be happy to get an XDA IIs from them as well, and their prices are certainly good!
Could you let us know when you get yours? I'll be interested to see when their stock starts to come through. Gonna call them now and ask about upgrades....
Edit: update on upgrades - I could have one, but it would cost me £285 cos I'm not a particularly heavy user.
Yeah uplands are good cant go wrong with them + they are very competitive in price. Stock will be due in on monday 15th nov.. cant wait!
12th Nov
I've just spoken to a few O2 shops in London area, they either tell me they have no idea when they're due or that 12th of November is release date and not to expect anything for at least 2 weeks after then :\
I've got 4 phones due an upgrade with an O2 reseller (unfortunately not direct with O2, corporate account with CarphoneWarehouse so will probably delay things further) - itching to get my hands on one!
Does anyone have any idea when this device will be available in the Netherlands? Through one of those mobile provider? (T-Mob, Orange, Telfort?) It seems that its out in UK and Germany and some places in US and other countries, but not yet here in NL, I've checked several stores and can't find convincing replies. I am keen to check this one out.
More delays
Just spoke to Uplands - they have said -
"Yes, O2 advised us yesterday that the release of
the handsets has been delayed again, and to expect delivery by around Monday of next week {15th Nov}. Unfortunately that means we cannot yet guarantee a delivery date"
Bumsticks :\
Please post any other shops that are selling the XDA IIs.
Uplands will not ship to a US customer!
I would love to get a XDA III, but getting it in a black version would be really cool.
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)

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.....
So I just preordered the 360 from clove as they are the only ones I found in the UK allowing a paid preorder and not just a registration link.
I'm a bit sore that we have potentially a 8 week wait(or more if they have a lot of preorders), but I've been looking forward to this so I took the plunge.
Anyone else in the UK Preordered?
Yep, pre-ordered from clove here as well (black on black). If I don't like it I can always stick it on ebay or something - pity we UK'ers always have to wait for new tech
Hello all,
I am very interested in buying the mi5s however only if it is in the deep grey colour as I can't live seeing the black outline of the screen. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the 128gb deep grey version for under £330 (I don't want to pay more than this) so I was wondering if anyone knew when this specific colour will be more readily available for the UK. Is there a date for when more deep grey phones will be sold??? If you already know of a good website that sells it please link it in the comments.
Thank you!
Hi,
I'll see if I can help. I've been hunting the Mi5s Plus and then with the announcement of the Mi Note 2 I'm looking for something different but I've been around all the retailers before so I can give you a hand hopefully.
Firstly it's definitely the Mi5s rather than the Mi5s Plus you're after right?
Does that £330 figure have to include VAT and shipping or are you a taking the VAT as a gamble and willing to go for a cheap shipping option?]
You could have the exact model in your hand tomorrow or Monday (okay okay Tuesday at the latest - but a quick phone call would answer that) from a UK Seller with a VAT invoice and Royal Mail delivery for £427 from TheSolutionShop.co.uk
Which is cheaper than the eBay Listing for the same (which also excludes VAT). Even the 64GB Model comes in around ~£360 here (again eBay) before VAT.
And frankly that's about it for people that claim to currently have it in stock.
There is no way you'll get deep grey 128gb for £330, silver yes. You're looking at at least £380.
Thanks for the replies, just to confirm im interested in the mi5s and NOT the plus version. I think i read somewhere that the deep grey version becomes more available on November 10 but am not sure. How much is VAT if the border asks for it does anybody know?
Typically the normal VAT you pay in your country for electronic products.
