MDA Vario II - just received, first impressions

---

suprisingly, i've received my Vario II today, instead of tommorow, like i was told! so, first impressions:

1) looks just beautiful! much better than on press release's pictures and much better than Vodafone's TyTN!
2) device codename is HERM300, not HERM100 as stated by some people here
3) S/N of my Vario II begins with HT632
4) it is sim locked, but on network, not provider. ie. my Virgin Mobile SIM works in Hermes without trouble (because it uses T-Mobile's network infrastructure), but when i put different network SIM, it asks me about unlocking code
5) ROM versions: ROM 1.21.110.3, date 06/19/06, Radio 1.05.05.00, Protocol 32.36.7010.04H
6) SetHSDPA.exe /Enabled :)
7) keyboard responsiveness just perfect - all keys seems to work perfect!

so far (after just 15 mins or so), i only can say - it was worth to wait! :)

Could you update the Hermes_Versions wiki page with your Vario II information? Thanks!

ok, i'll try to do it later, as i need to go out from home for a bit... :(

so far my T-Mobile's SIM card is not registered yet, so i can't check web'n'walk speeds etc.
