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.....

...the 3rd February 2004 from TeknToys!!! :evil:
I think their email they sent a while ago said three weeks. I think this week has been about three weeks. I have since then cancelled. I still have my i-Mate, but I'm looking hard at the HP 6000 GSM/WiFi/Bluetooth device. I didn't want to invest in too many accessories for the i-Mate in case that's the route I go.
ciao dale!
but ...do you think HP will really produce the 6000?
It sounds like it. It keeps getting pushed off (summer now), but the initial rumors of the 6300's demise seem to have been inaccurate. In fact, I believe T-Mobile has a three month exclusive sales agreement with HP for the 6300 (which is why T-Mobile US did not pick up the XDA II - they were waiting for the 6300).
Hey Marco. get your backpack yet? I see that TnT doesn't list it as an accessory on their site now, so I would guess "no". It's amazing that virtually no one carries this thing yet.
BackPack (Also Called Expansion Pack)
Hi,
I ordered mine last friday. And got it on Monday. Paid about 175 Euro.
Contain a booklet which explaines the usage of de included software for VGA connectivity.
The software included are: ClearVue PPT, ClearVue PDF and Screen Mirror
I know there was this French site that had it, where it was difficult to navigate if you didn't speak French. Also, this other company sold it if you were a customer of Orange. And I think it's available in shops in Singapore. But that's pretty much it as far as I could see.
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
R
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
John
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.
R
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.........

Last I head from Vodafone Australia is November 15 is release date here.
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
Richard
1st post by the way :lol:
Ooooops!
sorry here is the link http://shop.uplands.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_XDA_2s.html

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)

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
I just called the O2 hotline and they told me that they will have the hd7 end of next week .
here is the link to the O2 website O2 Website
Thats good. It means that German users won't need to wait long for that phone
The lady at the o2 hotline told me that they will have the phone by the end of this week (tomorrow) and that i will get my phone someday next week.
So i think no one at the hotline for sure knows when the package with all those beautiful phones will arrive at o2.
We will see
It seems that they don't have the devices in stock today. The o2 order hotline just told me so.
Disappointing start for WP7 in Germany
Still no confirmation yet... anyone else got one?
I'm waiting too.
Got mine yesterday from o2 Germany. I ordered via the o2-Homepage on Friday, 22.10.2010 using o2-myHandy.
Due to technical issues my order from thursday was forwarded yesterday. I hate those guys. But hopefully the phone will arrive this week.
