Will T-Mobile have the Kaiser?

---

I've heard AT&T will on Sept 3rd or 26th.. but what about T-Mobile?

T-mobile in Germany have released a pdf showing the MDA varioIII. Beta testers have been using a Kaiser locked to T-mobile. So I think it is safe to assume it will be released on T-mobile, the question is when and with what level handset subsidy?

I was told by my local T-Mobile store that it is expected late Sept.

T-Mob UK will have the Vario III (Kaiser) late Sept @ £280 upgrade price according the lady I spoke to yesterday. I've not seen anything firm on T-Mob US.

so what is the deal? is the USA one going to work with 3G? or are they using different freq/bands etc...

would i have to get it from tmobile? or could i get it say from ebay?

or maybe those from Germany on ebay

Seems kinda expensive. I hope that price is for a 12 month contract renewal on T-Mobiles cheapest tariff.

Good question - what tariff that price applies to, as it seems quite expensive? I've paid £80 last year for new MDA Vario II with Flext25+WnW price plan, so I expect to get Vario III as an upgrade later on January 2008 for not more than £100 with the same plan...

Just spoke to T-Mobile UK about an upgrade, at first the girl a spoke to "had no information about the Vario III" once she realised that I knew a lot about it she then "found an email" with some information about it.

she was reluctant to give me information but i managed to get out of her that is was due out "early September", she said this could mean anything, and that the price in the email did say £280.

i Said that that was quite a lot and she said that from past experience the true price will be lower and once you take you tariff into consideration it should bring that down..... here's hoping!!!! :D

TyTN II / T-Mobile

Today they officially announced the TyTN II for early October.

Ironic, really. The first network to confirm they're getting it (however unofficially, it's been "known" for a while now) are the last to release it.
