Anyone know when Meteor will have this phone?

Bluefoam · 06-11-2010, 13:35

Next Friday apparently. Emobile have it today

Cunning Alias · 06-11-2010, 13:59

Just picked mine up in the Meteor shop in Dun Laoghaire.

I rang the major stores first and they said they were not going to get it till Tuesday, so there are mixed messages everywhere.

When I left they still had 2 more but only for new customers.

They didnt get any HD's in case anyone was wondering.

The guys said they were getting loads of stick from people who read the hd was out today yet the stores have feck all. Pretty rubbish communication imo.

The desire z is alot less chunky than I expected, not too heavy and the flip out keyboard is savage. Doesnt feel flimsy at all.

Cool. What's the pricing like?

Cunning Alias · 06-11-2010, 14:17

200 on bill pay smart 35.

Wanted to go for a better package but didnt want to go for an 18 month plan

Picked mine up a few hours ago. Keyboards is very smooth. Did you get a bluetooth headset in yours Cunning Alias? HTCSense.com does not work at all, pity as it was the big feature I'm interested in. Hope they get it working in due course!

Pacifico · 06-11-2010, 18:25

Got one too. Very impressed so far!

Yeah couldn't get HTC Sense to work at all. I also got a bluetooth headset in the box (which is now up on adverts

)

Cunning Alias · 06-11-2010, 18:27

Yep. Got the same.

I was able to make an account for htcsense on the phone, but there is no option for ireland yet on the site

C.D. · 06-11-2010, 18:30

I put UK in. Got it to ring (once! and not again) and got my contacts up. Completely useless atm imo! Very nice to use. The software keyboard has come a long way since the Hero.. almost makes me wonder should I have gotten a regular Desire or Desire HD instead. The Jero keyboard drove me nuts with all its lag.

Nice one lads, going to pick a Z up on Monday if I find somewhere with stock. So question is, Meteor or eMobile?

chrislad · 06-11-2010, 20:12

Got mine today. I don't see the issues with HTCSense.com though.

It's backing up my messages, setting my phone to ring, showing me my missed calls, pinpointing me on a map, and I can remotely send apps to my phone from the site (well, the link to download the map). Contacts are also working fine. I created the account from within the phone, and chose Ireland as my network. On the site on my computer, I picked UK. I did have to go to Settings, Accounts, HTC Sense and enable Sync HTC Hub to get it to work, but it's flawless so far, and is, in fact, faster to pick up your phone and make it ring than Apples MobileMe service (which I have used since launch)

Cunning Alias · 06-11-2010, 21:38

Got it working. Was messing up the password.

That call phone feature is savage.

Bluefoam · 06-11-2010, 22:27

The build quality is incredible, puts Samsung galaxy to shame.

tap28 · 06-11-2010, 23:26

Is there any emobile/ meteor branding?

Is the Z on PAYG?

If so how much?

Is it locked to one provider?

Thanks

Tap

Cunning Alias · 06-11-2010, 23:36

Pretty sure the Z and HD are only on bill pay for now.

No meteor branding that I have seen.
