Hey does anyone know if any networks are claiming exclusivity to the Touch Pro 2 in the UK and even when its likely to be with the different GSM companies.
My TyTnII is getting very worn down and I dont fancy buying a second SIM-free phone to get the Pro2 to replace it.
i am also (and for a looooong time) eagerly awaiting the answer to this question!
my kaiser looks like it got imported from the classic starwars era, or has just been fighting the taliban in afghanistan, call buttons are just red or green haphazard scratches and the windows start button...lol its not even there anymore!
Mobilegazette have it hitting t-mobile in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Czech Republic in June.
Orange retentions UK, confirmed it's on their list of coming soon but no specific date.
O2 release
Any word on an o2 release as i cant see why it wouldnt but would be nice to know that i dont have to change networks to get it.
Then again o2 keep tight lipped on everything until it is actually released.
lets hope its not the same farse on tmobile that the MDA Vario 4 was.

I had a meeting with a sales rep from o2 the other day with a view to switch from Vodafone to o2 and he mentioned that they are looking at getting some updated HTC models in soon and whilst he couldnt give names he hinted at the diamond2 would be one and the pro2 may be another.
He also said that they put their devices through a long testing period before release so they can put their custom ROM in.

Which means a release in late-2010 for upgrade customers over retentions. I am willing to put alot of money on this to be the case.

Yeah which is why im not holding out on O2 for anything with the Pro2.
At the moment I am considering taking the upgrade on orange to the touch HD, selling my original touch HD (bought sim free) and then buying the Pro2 sim free when it comes out.
What i want to do is have Orange announce the Pro2 then see what deal they can concoct to keep me on the network when I come to review my contract in a month or 2

It had better come out on o2 as i really dont want to switch to orange and really cant be arsed with the move to a new network, come on o2 and bring it to us earlier than 6 months after the full realease of the phone!

I dont mind which network takes it - Orange would be less hassle for me as im already there but I just want a network to confirm it and put it on a coming soon page so i can plan leaving or working on getting a pre-order in
Phone will be out on orange later this month, maybe towards the end as it should not conflict with the launch of the omnia hd which is due this week, T Mobile will be getting the touch diamond with a view to picking up the touch pro 2 in july. Nothing on o2 or vodafone as of yet.

Arvin - have you got any press release or anything from Orange to back this up? Really want to see what they want to start pitching it at so i can work out what i do/dont want to spend with them!

Hope this is correct
thats what i got in writing from htc (without any commitment as observation of course). If we compare the time periord of release of the diamond and touch pro it was aprox.the same, so it could be true.

Any idea how long internal coming soon turns to official coming soon/release. My commitment date on the contract just passed for my TyTnII and i am looking to upgrade ASAP!

well the omnia hd went on mid april and its being launched this week now, the touch pro 2 came on around the same time frame and should land end of this month or begining of june. supplier problems hindered the launch of the omnia hd though , was meant to be last week so might have pushed the touch pro 2 back a bit
The Expansys website has been updated to say...
Availability: Normally less than 5 days
I sent an email to them asking if this is the case and when we can expect it to be release.
This is the reply...
Many thanks for your enquiry , please be advised that the Touch Pro 2 is out towards the end of June.
I hope this aint true.
Hi there, anyone know where can i get a htc tilt 2 non camera from? Or anyone selling a used one?
Cheers!
I don't believe the Rhodium was ever made without a camera. I could be wrong, but I've never heard of a camera-less model. It is rare to see any smartphone without one now.
i also dont think they have ever made a rhodium without a camera, in fact, i cant name any recent phone without a camera, since 2005 i've had a camera on my phoen and they've mostly been just basic, you could just get a regular one and smash/take out the camera part!
I contacted HTC and received two replies. They are listed below.
Danielle from HTC said:
I appreciate your interest in the HTC TouchPro 2 and you were wondering about the Windows device without a camera. I know that AT&T has offered the HTC Tilt 2, which is their version of the HTC TouchPro 2 without a camera. You might check with a local AT&T retailer and see if they have some still in stock or you can look on-line on the AT&T Wireless shop. The decision concerning the availability of device features is up to the service provider.

Jeffery from HTC said:
Thank you for your reply. I understand the importance of knowing if there is a camera-less version of the Touch Pro2. To my knowledge, we did not mass manufacture a version of the Touch Pro2 without a Camera. If one is made, it was specially ordered. In our systems, we do not have a Model number for this specific product. I hope we have answered your questions in detail.

Tilt 1 has a camera less version.
I have one on ebay right now.
AT&T Tilt 2 With No Camera
It is definitely right about At&t having the Tilt 2 with no camera. When I got my Tilt 2 about a year ago the version w/o the camera was available. I am pretty sure that AT&T was the only carrier that had the non-cmaera version. Good luck in your search...
I inquired to AT&T about the Tilt 2 availability when I was searching for the device, and was informed that this device (the one w/camera) is nolonger sold in their retail stores/outlets and is only available online directly from them. I managed to find mine by purchasing for $300.00USD on eBay. Would have been cheaper online at the AT&T store if I qualified for an upgrade.
Hi,
Can anyone with a Note 2 brought directly from 3 tell me if the handset is locked to 3 plus have 3 branded software on it please?
I currently have an unbranded Note 2 on Orange which I bought from Carphone Warehouse but since Orange switched everything to EE I have had next to no signal at my home address so I'm in dispute with them of cancelling early, so I've took out a contract with 3 and it's being delivered today but I've been told I cannot open it to see if it's unbranded in-case I have to return it etc!
If someone could reply back to let me know it would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

I bought one in a 3 store. Can't tell you if it's locked (I don't have a spare micro-sim) but it definitely is not branded, and the rom is stock.

Thanks for the info, if it's unbranded then I'm cool with that as that's my main pet hate, branded software on phones! I can always get it unlocked in future!
Cheers
If I buy a i buy the atnt one m8 is it possible for me to unlock it and use another SIM card ?
Would there be any issues ?
BTW I stay in India .... I already own the one m8 but I wanted to gift one to my sister too..... So I was wondering if it was psossible for me to get the one from the black Friday sale on amazon
You will have to buy an unlock code from eBay and make sure it supports at&t m8 and the unlocker will give you the code if your not in the USA

According to the frequency band chart, the device is 100% compatible on all bands using O2.....
Take a look at this page I've located....including the APN settings information.
https://apn-uk.gishan.net/en/device/htc-one-m9
You should be good based on the correct APN settings....g

Good find, except it doesn't specifically answer the question.
I know these phones work in the UK its just whether I need a different Radio.
Thanks
Right, the Unlocked/Developer edition will not update the software...I've been down this road before.
Once again I have bought a counterfeit M9, this time from Amazon...
And once again no one cares...
Meanwhile I still haven't got a mobile phone.
Anyone now where I can buy and original HTC M9 in the UK please?

Oh no !!
This is twice ??
Amazon will take it back....if you claim warranty against it.....especially if you are beyond the 30 day return window.
I had a camera that I bought last year that was a sony clone....and at 45 days out I sent it back under warranty...
I sent them an email and explained....then they issued an RMA..
I bid you good luck !!!...g

Just spoken to HTC, thankfully this one is not a counterfeit....
BUT
It is meant for the American market, which means it wont work in this country!!!
I've never had so much trouble buying a phone.
So I have given up with HTC and am buying a Sony as I can get a free PS4 with it!!
I would be mad not to!!
