Well the title says it all..
I just got off the phone with the vodafone customerservice NL to ask them how it is possible that HTC provided a ROMupdate which improved the phones performance while the vodafone branded one is still running the old software.
I wanted 2know if there would be an ROMupdate from Vodafone NLD in the near future.
The employee told me that he had the same question from zomeone else last week and he found out then that the ROMupdate is in development and Vodafone will bring it out within a month from now.
Sounds like good news for all the Dutch Vodafone branded Diamondowners who don't want to mess up their warranty doesn't it..?????
Or do you think their just saying this to get me off their back..

Anybody know where I can get an English version of the HTC P3300 in the Netherlands?
T-Mobile is going to be offering the phones for free, but they are only in Dutch.
Is there a way to change the operating system on it without messing up the whole phone?
Suggest to have a look at the pdashop.nl or smartphoneshop.nl
They offer the HTC P3300 EN with T-Mobile Contact (which will also give you the benefits of cheap phones..)
Ooops, only the Tytn is one of the recent models in EN. But it is maybe an idea to contact them with the question, their support is quite good.
At expansys.nl they have it (but no contracts as far as I can see)
Thanks for the reply
pdashop.nl wants 198- Euro w/ the Flex 40 2 year contract from T-Mobile.
I would be able to get the phone for free in a couple of weeks with the same contract
I guess the next step is to figure out how to change language on it without making it a paper weight.

Save yourself the hassle by by the language version you prefer from start. I had to buy mine from expansys.nl for the full price
Agree, go with the Expansys.nl - no hassle!
Any success?

HTC P3300. Phone / SPV - M650 Orange language, english. dutch, nederlands
I got an HTC P3300. Phone / SPV - M650 from Orange in Dutch, the local Orange shop can't figure out how to change the language in to English.
Has anyone found a good solution to this?
I al ready followed the links on this forum with no success.
Can anyone also clarify what forum member RAMBO29 meant by with PDAMOBIZ. is that a web site?
Hello,
I'm a newbie to this forum. Yes, before you all say anything I know they'r the same thing, packaged differently.
Since I'm in Canada, I'll be paying full price for either of those two, unlocked ofcourse. Was wondering if there are any pros/cons to either those two and which one would you all recommend?
Thanks
With Artemis you should have HTC patches and upgrades, with branded devices you may wait longer (for O2, Orange... software releases). HTC officially announced WM6 ROM for Artemis and help for other brands if they will decide to buy WM6 license, but you don't know if they will...
Will O2 be offering a WM6 upgrade? Someone just posted that O2 will not be offering an update. I'm wondering if I shud get O2 or not. I really like the Orbit, but now im confused.
O2 havo no plans to upgrade for now, but they don't say no for ever - so we don't really know...
I've ordered HTC P3300 only because everything seems confirmed for it, plus I'm getting it with all North American maps. Will let you guys know when I recieve it in a few days.
Hello,
I have an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK which I bought less than one month ago. I can see that HTC have released an official WM6 upgrade for the phone but I cannot find an official upgrade on T-Mobiles UK site.
Can I use the official HTC WM6 ROM Update Utility and get my phone to WM6? If so when I boot my phone up into WM6 for the first time what must I do to get my GPRS settings etc. back on? Just use the online T-Mobile service which send s them?
I know it sounds like a n00bish question, but I've just got this phone and don't fancy bricking it just yet!
Any links to additional downloads, resources etc. would be well received.
Thanks everyone
Anyone able offer advice? I've done a lot of reading about this on the XDA-Developers site but I'm still in the dark about whether or not something might refuse to work after flashing or how to best avoid the dreaded bricking.
Thanks again
Hi all,
Got a TP2 from Vodafone UK this week. Realy liking the device so far, infact it's probably the first WM phone I have used in ages that I have not splattered with apps just to make it usefull!
My main gripe with Vodafone so far is that the colour scheam they have shosen for the TouchFlow is 'Vodafone Red' with black so the message count bubbles are totaly unreadable!
Anyway, one strange this with this device is that I seem to have lost the ability to use HTMP email format and also the ability to flag messages etc... I have been told that this is a Vodafone 'thing' so that you want to use their email services... So does anyone know how to turn this back on ???
Thanks

I have a few questions if you don't mind:
Is the actual phone Vodafone branded in any way, or is it just the software?
Also, did you get it from a Vodafone shop, or was it delivered to your home?
I'm interested in getting one from Voda soon, what deal did you get it on, and did you have to pay much for the handset?
Cheers - hope you're enjoying the phone ;-)

No, it's HTC branded just voda build of the firmware....for now
Got it delivered direct from Voda, Most of the high street shops will not stock them because of their value
No idea on deals because it is on my company package so it works totaly differently
Hope this helps.

Mine should have been delivered from Vodafone today, but it has been delayed until tomorrow.
I got it from the Vodafone business site and it is available for free on any tariff from £30pm (+VAT) I'm getting 500 mobile minutes, 250 texts, unlimited internet and unlimited landline calls - or I will be when it turns up!! It is shown as coming soon on the site but if you eing up they have them in stock
Someone on Beasty's "A Dream just walked in" thread got theirs yesterday and it has a Vodafone theme and a little Vodafone sign on it apparently. I will let you know what mine is like when I get it
Seems very tempting, I may leave T-mob for this!
Do you know what the Vodafone business support is like if the phone goes faulty? I know with T-mob I got next day swap-out, and wonder if Vodafone offer this too?
Also, do you know if it's supplied unlocked?

Got mine from Vodafone yesterday and it is dual-branded. HTC at top of screen and Vodafone at the bottom. I agree on the colour scheme as I changed my Pro to black, but the calendar is different on the Pro 2 and I can't seem to find a suitable alternative - any suggestions appreciated.
BTW, my initial impressions are that this phone is a BIG improvement on the Pro and well worth the upgrade.
Im on T-mobile within the UK and my contract runs out in October. Having read up this phone it seems an ideal upgrade from my current HTC Kaiser.
Does anyone have any infomation or knowledge on when it will come to the UK and what networks it will be on?
thanks guys
It's here now, and you can get it on Vodafone business.
Through Mobilephonesdirect you can get it now on T-mobile or Vodafone, but as you're with T-mobile now you will have to sign up for a new contract with a new number. You can port your current number to another network's PAYG, then back to T-mobile if you want to go with MPD + T-mobile.
T-mobile are no longer offering the phone as Vario V, apparently they decided to offer the N97 in it's place.
I don't know yet about orange or o2.
