Desire Z - counting down the days

Well I'm definitely planning on getting the new Desire Z, finally officially announced by HTC today, as soon as it comes out in the UK. Love the keyboard espcially.
Is there a separate area for this new version or will chat stay here? And has anyone heard anything officially about how soon T-Mobile in the UK will get it?
Andre

Only on VodaFone isnt it?
dont know how long before others will pick it up

Vodafone for now, others might take it but no news as yet

Surely it'll be released sim free though?

Well, yeah!
Desire HD is on pre-order on MoDaCo already

what do you mean?

Personally I wouldn't buy any phone unless it's sim free. You pay for the phone through the contract anyway and the network messes with it. Sim only contracts are much cheaper and you can change phone when you like, selling the old one.

well, IMHO I don't really see what all the thus is about! the european 4g is pretty nice and would swap it for my Desire.. but the Z, not the nicest of phones is it? well, at least HTC will finally be as famous and as popular as Nokia or SE YES! I* cant really believe it but, I am the only person in my school that has the desire! YES! but it is pretty hard to type onder the table.. ;/
xx

If I'm going to be paying for a contract anyway (as I would need airtime whatever phone I get) then it just makes sense to me to get a free phone from them too, rather than paying £400-£500 on top of what I'm going to pay them anyway.
Of course, I'd probably unlock it and install a much cleaner ROM after a while, as I have done with previous smartphones.
I had assumed that T-Mobile in the UK would be doing the same as the US T-Mobile have already announced, and rebranding it as the G2?

Probably, but I would think they would only do this if it was a T-Mobile exclusive in the UK. As for Vodafone, according to an article on engadget, the Desire Z is exclusive to Vodafone in Spain and Australia so far.

What exactly is the main attraction of this phone for you ?

Correct. A lot of manufacturers are now looking into dual core processors for mobiles. It's hard to imagine most mobiles are now more powerful than a pc from just a couple of years ago.

Don't know about that, TMob UK was the only wing of the German owned TMob that wasn't turning a profit and has been sold to Orange (French owned), so I'm not sure if TMob US is relevant.
And when it comes to sim free you should add up what you pay over your 18-24 month contract and then minus the cost of the phone and the same amount of time sim only. If you wait a month you'll find the phone costs considerably less than on launch day. Even if you don't it still works out similar pricewise.

The keyboard mainly, as long as the rest of the phone is pretty good too. Pure processor speed is never the only measurement of how 'good' a phone is, any more than that is true of PCs. One of the main reasons I won't go down the iPhone route is the lack of any proper tactile interface (that and being locked into what Apple want me to to). Yes I'm a little disappointed it's not 1Ghz, but at least I'll be able to use it!

That's what puzzles me - surely I'll pay the same amount for my current contract over the next 18-24 months whether or not I buy or upgrade to a new phone (OK, I might get a small loyalty discount if I don't upgrade). So the cost of buying an unbranded phone is purely extra cost. That's not to say I won't do it if I have to, but it just seems to make more sense to get it free.
Andre

When your contract is up you could ask to be transferred to a sim only plan, or do the upgrade through someone like Carphone Warehouse as they use unbranded phones.

Or immediately sell your branded one, and buy an unbranded one

Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile and AT&T *CONFIRMED*

Actually READ the article, it clearly states the phone is running on a T-Mobile SIM Card. Hardly misleading. Hell most of you were confirming Verizon based on a damn logo in a picture.

Actually it said
"But my test version, provided by Google just a day ago, relied on a T-Mobile SIM card tapping into an HSPA + network."
Which sounds more like it would be sold by tmobile at least.
I could be wrong though.

It's been posted elsewhere that the GSM version works on those networks. I read the article as simply meaning that the test model the reviewer was given was gsm, not lte.

Though I'd love for that to be the case, I really don't see how that is any indicator that T-Mo will be picking it up and selling it themselves. All that the above quote tells us is that the HSPA+ model is compatible with T-Mo's airwaves.
This thread is incredibly badly titled, given the huge assumption made by the OP :\

Thanks for the enormous cocktease.

I went to my Tmobile store and asked when they might get the Galaxy Nexus. The manager told me that Tmobile was not going to get this phone in their stores but it would be sold at Best Buy at some point. I went to Best Buy and asked them and of course they knew nothing about it. Why do they want to make it so hard for me to buy the darn phone? Makes no sense.

Close this misleading redundant thread !

This is very selfish of me but I hope it doesn't come to T-mobile. I want to buy this unlocked from overseas and use it with T-mobile and my legacy data plan. If T-mobile starts carrying it, they might end up filtering the device and force me to buy their more expensive, Android-compatible data plan.

Engadget was able to use both Tmo and AT&T SIMs successfully. Just thought I'd share. It shouldn't surprise anyone though considering the radios support both on paper. At this point, it would be nice to see when ANY carrier in the US will be selling this phone.

I called my local At$t store and they told me to call back on Sunday, the 25th and they would have details for me.

these gonna work on T-mo?

Yes, it will but you might have to carrier unlock the phone. But your 3G won't work! If you don't mind using EDGE then you can go get it. Otherwise i would recommend you switch to att or buy the 710 from t-mo or wait for new phones to be released in T-mo//

I believe the AWS bands are for AT&T's LTE network so I don't think it would work. I wonder if there is any way you can flash a different radio so somehow it would work on T-Mobiles 3G/4G like the AT&T Galaxy Note.

mmmmann. i'd really pay for this if I could use it on T-mo

I could possibly get my hands on an AT&T Lumia 900 for free. But it seems I wouldn't even be able to use it here in Germany. Sucks balls. :/

Hey guys. I just got the lumia yesterday so if anyone has any questions let me know!
This is my 1st windows phone so I'm pretty juiced.
I really don't know too much about other windows phones but this one has visual voicemail and Internet sharing. So like tethering but without having to use a USB connection. Also the phone uses a micro sim. Just like the iPhone 4/4s.
But yeah ask away ill be more than happy to answer all questions. Thanks

Can you send video in MMS yet? I thought this was a launch date feature of the 900 but I could be wrong.

Confirmed : Galaxy Nexus On The Way To ATT with 4G LTE

Though this may come as no surprise to some we have just received word from a very very good source that an unconfirmed number of AT&T SIM Cards (RS# 17-0700 and likely 4G LTE) for the Galaxy Nexus are going out for testing as we speak. Curiously the SIMS are standard and not the micro like Verizon Wireless. This means of course we can finally certify the release of Samsung and Google’s latest collaboration will be hitting AT&T in the very near term. I have to protect my source but this is coming from very close to the situation. We will keep you posted as more details come about. Are you on AT&T and have been waiting for the the official release of the G-Nex you can count on it soon enough. We broke this right here and we expect to be credited this time. Thanks.
Update: Our tipster just added that the SKU for these SIM cards is 73057 and that they do seem to be 4G LTE enabled!!!!

Bet you $50 it's only HSPA+. Note, that the email only said it was "likely" LTE. They're speculating. Then note that they're using MiniSIM not micro. The whole reason why they use MicroSIM in Toro is because they couldn't fit the LTE antennas and logic chips and the full sized SIM in the already larger housing.

When I switched to the LTE-enabled data plan with an LTE phone IMEI number, they had to give me a new LTE SIM for my GSM GN. So maybe the article meant LTE SIM going to the field with GN test units?

I think you are right.
After receiving my new GN last Friday, I went to the local AT&T store to get a data plan. Contrary to AT&T ads there is no 4G in South Florida. My phone gets what is available: H+. I just had to move the Sim card from my Nexus One to the GN.
Since my Galaxy Nexus is not an AT&T I have no obligation to buy a data plan. I might drop mine after reading the speedtest

To Clarify
Since our entire post has been repasted here i felt the need to clarify. The SIMS are not at all phone specific and not sure how that was insinuated in the post. There is more information I may be cleared to release as to why it was necessary for these SIMS to go out and an enterprising mind that thinks on it for a while can probably figure it out. The problem is I cannot yet tell folks where the SIMS were coming from and where they were going. I also know how many SIMS there were. If I get cleared to release that info I promise to update the information. Lets for the sake of argument put the SIM card aspect aside. The important part is the document in question confirms the existence of the handset in question. Number one rule of journalism is protect your source. If i gave out that information that would put him/her at considerable risk. I promise there will be more info soon.

It would be shocking if AT&T wasn't buying USIM's without a LTE logo. Yes, logo. There is no physical difference between a UMTS 3G USIM and one used in LTE devices.

Damn and I just paid $498 for a GSM to use on AT&T. However LTE in my area is delayed so LTE model would be useless to me. Plus AT&T branding and bloat ware Yuck!
I have two upgrades in May due. If anything Id rather get a One X for $199 hopefully to try out and still keep my Nexus. Never tried Sense so who knows. I really just like the look and screen quality of the One X. I could always sell it for $500 if it doesn't work out.

we have photographs of these sims with no LTE logo thanks to our friends at radio shack so im sorry that is not entirely true. Also we know these SIMS have been being used since the 4th quarter of last year so we are aware that there is no difference. For some of you there won't be truth to it until the phone is announced but it's funny those are the people who scrutinize speculation the most. We have clarified the original story on our site for those people and for now we will wait and see. I'm only here commenting because my story is here. I don't care to convince anyone specific of it's validity, as for our readers, us reporting it makes it valid enough.

So I hope you are right, but will not be shocked if you are not.

Posts 11, 12, 13, and 16 part of the answer is in post 10

So unless someone has pictures of the device, sales materials, etc.... how is this a "confirmed" rumor?

5 bucks says only the 16GB version will be available.
....I remember reading about a month ago that Samsung has stopped producing the 32 GB version and will focus on a 16 GB version to promote cloud storage. Hopefully its BS for you ATT guys and girls. Watch for it none the less.

LTE enabled.

Hi all, Iam about to upgrade my Desire S and have been looking at Galaxy S III. I have just had a chat to Trish at Tmobile UK and she offered a great deal on a new Samsung but when I asked if it would be LTE enabled out of the box or a software upgrade she said it wouldn't be enabled and couldn't give any date if it could be. So I will give it a few weeks and then ask again.

This is a dumb question. Lock and ban!

There's no such thing as dumb questions. If you're in the UK I'm pretty sure your phone already canes LTE enable unlike the our version. If it doesn't come with the latest update you can simply update it yourself

Nice thing to say in the Q&A section
If your phone is a international quad core then it will never have LTE because it does not have the hardware to support it.
The US dual core Snapdragon 4 phones have the hardware in them and should already support it.

The reason I contacted Tmobile UK is that we are about to get 4G and they are pushing it in adverts. Tmobile and Orange are to be named EE, this is the Email :-
Superfast is on its way
Hello John
Everything Everywhere, the company behind T-Mobile and Orange is about to launch a new brand called EE.
EE is the new brand for a digital age and will offer the UK's first mobile 4G network and Fibre Broadband for the home, along with the UK's biggest 3G network. 4G will give you superfast internet on the move, making things like downloads, Facebook® and YouTube™ unbelievably quick.
It's all good news for you
As a T-Mobile customer you'll now use EE's new 3G network, the biggest in the UK. Soon you'll start to see EE on your phone screen.
We will be replacing your local T-Mobile and Orange stores with exciting new EE stores, giving you access to almost twice as many stores as today. These EE stores will be staffed by teams of brilliantly helpful people – including specialists in smartphones and systems like Apple, BlackBerry®, Android and Microsoft.
As part of these changes, if you pay by Direct Debit, you'll notice that the name on your bank statement will change to "EE and T-Mobile" within the next two months.
Still the T-Mobile you know and love
You will continue to be a T-Mobile customer. Everything you love about T-Mobile will stay exactly the same. You'll still enjoy the same great value, and your number and plan details won't change either. If you have any further questions you'll find the answers here
Be one of the first to know
Be one of the first to find out about all the great things EE has to offer, including how to move from T-Mobile to EE to start enjoying 4G as soon as it's ready. Sign up now
It's going to be great

I didn't want to lumber myself with a phone on a two year contract, so it's not a dumb question for us over here. Thanks for the other replies.

It says new 3G network? I'm really confused.. I think your best bet is to change the thread title and put UK so people know what you're talking about. The difference between the US and UK is pretty huge. You're not going to get much help because the LTE in the US on tmo topic has been beaten to death.
Come on people CLEAR thread titles! Please!!

I still stand behind my post. People should research what is LTE and how it works.

I don't know if live links are allowed. Just take out the spaces.
You will see they have several phones which are LTE enabled. So they are saying it's going to work but the reply from Trish not yet. So I was hoping that someone here and some have given me the info. Your reply was US based and what I wanted was a UK answer.

I already answered it. The i9300 does NOT have LTE. The i9305 does. These are UK phones.

Thanks joshnichols for that.
It's just we over here are getting crossed info and I didn't want to get locked into a long contract with a phone that may or may not work on their network, if it takes a few weeks so be it.
Thanks all.
