MoDaCo member 'rikwebb' has dropped me a note to let me know that the Ameo has launched, or rather is in the process of launching, on T-Mobile UK!

The Ameo, based on the HTC Athena aka HTC Advantage, has been announced internally to T-Mobile staff by e-mail, with pricing information to follow shortly. The device should be on the T-Mobile website within 2 days. 'rikwebb' also spotted the Ameo listed on the T-Zones site.

Until the Ameo goes live on the T-Mobile site, you might like to head over to the HTC Advantage microsite, and check out the identical specs on it's sister device!

I'm still in contract on T-Mo myself, but hopefully can pay an early upgrade fee to get one of these...

Hmm now what i have to ask myself is would i actually use this enough to justify getting one. My Universal is fantastic but it does have a habbit of gathering dust now and then...

[awarner]

I've not started up my universal for sometime now, I wonder what the price of this one will be though?

[psionandy]

great... a couple of days of excitement thinking I could get one.. then the realisation that there's no way i could Justify the price.

Still I'm still in the excitement phase

The T Mobile guys have also pointed in the direction of this site with specs

[foxy11]

It's a little on the MASSIVE side though

Will have to decide depending on the price over the next few days.

Is there a difference between the Ameo and the Advantage. I read that the Advantage only has 8 hrs of battery life! Is the Ameo any better?

Do you think it's likely that a WM6 version will be released in the future?

[PaulOBrien]

They are the same.

I anticipate a WM6 upgrade, but haven't heard anything official.

Paul... I'd be interested to know if you have any success in arranging this with T-Mob.

I'm 6 months from renewal on an 18 month contract and have asked about doing this and failed, so maybe I didn't explain properly or, as used to be the case on a certain other telco, I may have asked the 'wrong' C.S. person!

So perhaps you could keep us informed please? Thanks...

I'm in exactly the same position - so I'd certainly be interested to hear about any progress on this too! Many thanks in advance.

Have you seen the price of this unit??? Arrrrgh It's gazzillions of pounds even on a 'large' 18 month contract. It would seem to be out of my league atm

[johnwin]

£429.99!!

[Confucious]

£270 on flext35 18 months - but no one expected it to be cheap - did they?

[bashi007]

Hi Guys

Just got an upgrade to the T-Mobile ameo for £209.99, the tarrif i'm on is relax 35 (with 25% discount, a promition t-mobile ran last year) and web and walk pro (total £36.25 a month). The phone will be here tuesday , i can't wait . I will let you guys know how i get along.

[Confucious]

Relax was only a 12 month contract - we're on Flext which, while better than the now defunct relax plans, are 18 month contracts so still some time to go unless they let us upgrade early...

[Confucious]

Just seen http://www.t3.co.uk/news/247/communication...h_t-mobile_ameo - Nice!

[Monolithix]

Heh. Why can't Orange take some tips from T-Mob on device releases. They announce it and are one of the first to have it on the market. Orange announce it and then wait until a month before the next gen is ready before releasing theirs!
