Any dates on when T-Mobile UK will be having the Vario IV available?

Thanks

So, do you think the HTC small screen VGA rumours are actually correct this time? The initial specs for the Polaris said VGA for ages until the prototypes showed emphatically that it wasn't

[tsutton]

Looking forward to the new phones and the great roaming plans!

[PaulOBrien]

Well, the big cheese on the stage with the device in his hand specifically picked out VGA as a feature, so sounds promising!

Yes I'm interested to know what dates are involved as I'm at the end of my contract and don't want to tie myself down for 18 months if there's a tasty new device on the way!

As for the VGA Compact IV - could it be that it's not a HTC device this time? E-Ten Glofiish anyone?

[PaulOBrien]

I did get to play with the new Ameo 16GB, it's keyboard is marginally better than the old one if at all sadly

[Syphon Filter]

W?hich device will be the Vario IV be??

Paul:
Do you think the new keyboard will work on the old athena?

[creamhackered]

Shame they didn't have the new compact and Vario 4 devices there

Flat rate european data roaming on ANY network in all 27 EU countries. 2 euros per mb, 15 euros day pass and a 'no surprises' daily spending cap. Coming later this year

Any idea how much the daily cap will be? When's it coming? Looks like my only excuse for needing WiFi has just gone out the window

[deadphill]

While a flat rate no surprises cap is a good idea I would need to do an awful lot of browsing to make €15 worth of internet access abroad worth my while. My need for data when roaming when I am on leisure time is for stuff like google maps and webpages of recommendations etc, nothing more.

Its bound to make my useage over 1mb for €2 but not say more than 10mb.

The idea of these rates however is welcomed, I believe that if they could introduce web n walk across the whole of europe whereby the first 100mb of data abroad is included before you have to pay more is a better idea. Make the idea of web and walk truely global!

15 euros a DAY remember

I think the 1 meg 2 euros with a ceiling will work well, of course in an ideal world, our WnW would just be inclusive abroad free

[PaulOBrien]

Which I think will happen one day btw...

P

[tsutton]

15 euros is like £11

Still, I think it's better than £3 per MB or whatever for Europe data charge.

I tend to only go to Europe for a couple of days at a time - and normally end up getting WiFi in the hotel, hopefully I'll be able to claim this back on expenses. Unfortunately my next trip is to the Us so won't be able to use this

[Monolithix]

That Ameo *so* needs some RealVGA :/

[deadphill]

Yes sorry I was aware it was €15 a day but then I didn't mention it in the post. £11 quid a day for browsing is far more expensive than buying a map. Not as convenient but still its a lot. When the networks realise that taking smaller morsels of money but then taking more of it is a better idea than charging a lot but with very little uptake they will make more money.

It always makes me laugh because everyone will find their way to this thinking eventually, its just when they have done it once before on similar formats e.g: free minutes included with line rental, you think they would learn!

What's buying a map got to do with anything?
