Name P4550 = TyTN II

Is this source right? If so, we have the new name for our beloved Kaiser

I spoke to a UK T-Mobile business customer services representative on Saturday morning about getting the Kaiser on my contract renewal - whilst checking a T-mobile system she said that the "MDA Vario III was not yet available" but that T-mobile would text me when it was. No indication of when that would be though :mad:

Rumours persist that it'll be the 8th September for T-Mobile UK.

They probably don't want to announce it too early because it might put people off upgrading until it comes out.

It's supposedly (http://www.coolsmartphone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16754) coming out as the T-Mobile Vario III, Vodafone v1615 and HTC TyTN II "among other names".

No hint as to when Vodafone will release it, and from their website, you can only get to the pocket PC phones through the business section...


I'm actually thinking I might switch from O2 to T-Mobile when my contract runs out, as T-Mobile have a much better data plan... (that said, having an "unlimited" data usage policy with a 1GB cap seems a bit dishonest to me, but then again, it's still better than anyone else I know of)

Spoke to a customer service rep at T-mob today, to tell them i want to wait a month to upgrade, so i can have the Kaiser.

Was told its being tested right now, and will be a mid September release, at a price of £280 upgrade. Obviously that price is very negotiable depending how much you spend a month. MDA Vario III will be its final name, on T-Mobile UK at least. My names on the list for one the day its released :)

The wife just had an MDA Touch delivered from T-Mobile UK (and very sleek it is too) but was told on the phone at the weekend that if she waited for a month the Vario III would be available.

That pretty much ties in perfectly with the 8th September. There must be an internal memo whizzing it's way around T-Mobile HQ, 'cause that date keeps cropping up.

She's more about having slim and girly phones than fully featured powerhouses though...
