O2 XDA Ignito Ordered!

[HPJ]

Hi there

Haven't been on here for a while (hello everyone), but I thought I'd post a note to say I've just been on the phone to O2 and have ordered my Ignito.

Has anyone else got one through O2 UK yet? What are they like?

I'm currently using a Stella BTW.

Cheers
HPJ

Just got off the phone with O2, had to go through rententions finally got it for £25/month 600 mins 1000 txts with unlimited web browsing. should be with me tomorrow.

Hey I'm with o2 UK but bought my diamond sim free, they still think I am using my Orbit 2. Just wondered how you managed to get unlimited web bolt on etc for £25, I have been with o2 for years and I pay £37.50 for less calls and less texts.

[HPJ]

So has no-one actually got one yet (an XDA Ignito from O2 UK, to avoid any ambiguity)? The guy at O2 who I spoke to said they had only just been released, but I didn't think he meant it literally!

Ordered one for the wife this afternoon. Should be here tomorrow, got tracking details from DHL tonight. All I've got to do now is teach her how to use it, her present phone is a Nokia 3100!!! £25 for 600 mins, 1000 txts and unlimited smurfing. Well pleased!!

maljay are you a new customer or just renewing your contract?
im think of moving to o2 from orange if they dont give me a decent upgrade deal on the diamond.

Retentions sorted me out nicely, matching the offer i got from Vodafone direct sales. Ordered yesterday afternoon came this morning at 9am :D

600 mins
1000 txts
Free data bolt on
18months
£20pm

Now need to wait for people to post up how they get rid of this silly O2 software :mad:

[PJ6363]

Can't find anything at the O2 website....anyone have a working link?

[-Ad-]

Not on their site, although they do have the spare battery on there.

best to ring them

[da.murf]

just ordered one myself, new to the site, hello btw, just wondering, anyone know best place to grab some good software for it? im pretty clueless atm, I seen some app threads on here, i assume they are what Im looking for??

[Maljay48]

This is my first renewal of an 18 month contract. Received Ignito 9am this morning. Just need to figure a way of getting back the nice black HTC theme. O2 branding not good but way better than Orange or T-Mobile.

Just ordered mine on o2 will be 3-5 working days :( but gives me time to get rid of my orbit 2 ;) but on a £30/month contract for 18m :eek: but im on the o2 select scheme so upgrade in 15 months :D

[HPJ]

O2 select used to give just a 12 month contract with an upgrade in 9 months....all but finished now according to the guy I spoke to.

Anyway got my Ignito today. Very different from Stellar. Not impressed with the TouchFlo 3D thing....very slow and not particularly intuitive. But the overall size combined with the usual suspects (exchange syncing etc) is great. I've yet to put any music or films on there however. Very much work in progress.

Anyone else's initial thoughts?

It's on the website now but the specs say it has both 4Gb internal storage and MicroSD slot

O2 online makes no mention of built in GPS??? Have they taken it out? I hope not I have just realised after ordering.

thank you

that puts my mind at ease :)

i tip my hat to you sir

[Johny1fin]

Hi,
Not only GPS but co-pilit as well.
Or so I am told by O2 as i ordered mine on saturday and it should come by Wednesday.
Got mine free with Online 35 (600 mins+1000 text and inc web bolt on)
paying £21 as I have been with O2 for 10 yrs.

Can't wait but hope I have no CP7 issues.
Had Orbit with CP6 and Orbit 2 with CP7, no issues.

Has anyone managed a rom dump backup of Ignito?

Orange have left the Diamond unbranded - no crappy orange bloatware. The only thing that tells you the phone is Orange is a small logo at the bottom of the back of the phone. This is unusual for Orange though...

:)Got my Indigo about two weeks ago, am long term o2 customer so good deal free phone, 1000 txts, 600mins, unlimted web (subject to fair usage) discounted international calling package & add ons.
Taken me this last couple of weeks to get it how i want it, (previous mobile was XDA Orbit) changed softkey programms etc. So far pretty good apart from hands free speaker phone which is quite, have posted on this issue elsewhere.

[Jagroop Singh]

hi,

have had it for nearly 2 weeks. long-term customer so got it free, 1200 mins, 1000 txts, unlimited internet bolt-on.

flashing rom is a must. 02 branded rom is slow n ugly. i am running swiftbl's latest rom - shows off the diamonds true speed n features the original diamond theme n lots of useful software.

use the sticky rom flashing guide link in this forum.

g-sen, touchflow config, phm registry editor, advanced config are must-have sofware. and all are free.

search the diamond forum - it's all there. brilliant forum. i was new to flashing but this site has been THE place to be for noobies like me.

have fun.

[tboy2000]

Can I ask is it ok to flash the rom of the O2 ignito to a generic rom? I mean what if you need to send the phone to O2 for repairs and they tell you that their original rom is not installed on it and therefore the phone is out of warranty and so charge you for the repair?

Same deal that I got! I'm more than happy with it tbh. Running Dutty's rom, the stock o2 one is horrible!
