Shippings Have Begun

Jussi77 · 06-29-2006, 06:01 PM

I got confirmation that first shipments from factory have begun,
we will have our units on 5th June !

to summarize pros vs. hw6515 :
1) Windows Mobile 2005
- persistent storage, better battery life, better camera application,
push email (with exchange 2003sp2), better IE, better contacts
(individual photos and ringtones can be assigned to contacts),
gps intermediate driver (can use many gps applications simultaneusly),
EDGE indicator (network status shows either G [for GPRS] or E [for EDGE]),
better memory management & leak prevention, etc..
2) Faster processor (416 Mhz vs. 312 Mhz)
3) Integrated WLAN 802.11b with auto-shutoff (when out-of range for
xx minutes)
4) New Activesync support, synchronize Calender, Inbox, Sent Items,
Contacts and Tasks directly with server
5) New AGPS driver (improves accuracy)
6) New TomTom version (dependent on model)

OT: Somehow I hope that FSC T830 development shows same difficulties in the beginning that HP had with their path H6340->HW6515->HW6915 just to see that it wasn't HP who promised a lot but failed to deliver due to delays and bugs everywhere...

WOW, are they going to Time Warp them to us to get them to us back on June 5th?!? ;D Just kidding!

Assuming you mean July 5th.

Steve Trotto · 06-29-2006, 10:22 PM

It is a great device. I think once you get it you will really like it.

grosca · 06-29-2006, 10:50 PM

This is the first device I've been following up to release. How does it usually work? Will HP and Cingular not say anything about it until the day they're ready to sell them? Would look like it unless something is released tomorrow (with the holiday next week).

Hope this is true. Would be a great surprise.

Ok but the next question is...
Where is a good place to buy it???

Im due for a new PDA/phone and have been witing since MArch to get one...

Any recommendations/suggestions would be helpful...

Jussi77 · 06-30-2006, 03:55 PM

It was my benglish (bad english <tm>)... I meant we are going to have our units 5th July

70Challenger · 06-30-2006, 05:13 PM

is that July 5th a U.S. shipment? If so, where did you order from?

Jussi77 · 06-30-2006, 05:22 PM

We ordered those from HP distributor ;-) (But in Europe)..

zen · 07-03-2006, 09:46 AM

got it yesterday ! (2nd July), and I must say it's a fantastic phone. The installation is snappy especially compared to the RW6828 that I had for the last 1 month. Even more fantastic than the stable 1.21-rom 6515 that I had few months back!

I love it!

from Singapore!

Expansys UK Ltd appear to have stock of this item and are posting a 5th July release date. When I first checked their site they had 39 units in stock which has now gone down to 28.

I have e-mailed my contact at HP UK for an update. Wil let you know the response.

It may just have finally been released in the UK or maybe Expansys have got their hand on some imports from the far east.

Response from HP UK Ltd:-

Quote:

HP have been given an estimated date for delivery to the UK on 13/07/06.
This is an estimated date given by HP Europe.

We are unsure how a third party company would have these in stock.

I sent the following back tongue in cheek:-

Quote:

I tell you what, as HP don't seem to have any, but Expansys do, why don't you order me one from them and forward it on to me? The link is:-

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=132494

You may note this is tongue in cheek.

On a serious note, perhaps you SHOULD be asking Expansys?

Regards,

Expansys (UK) has it for (British pounds 396 + 25 Shipping to USA) approx $774.00

Expansys (USA) for $904

It sure looks cheaper to have it shipped from UK where it has now 19 in stock.

Crazy pricing

X-MAN · 07-05-2006, 02:35 PM

Finally i just ordered 3 units,, for Delev... on SAT....

Pulpdiction · 07-05-2006, 02:57 PM

I just got confirmation from expansys mine shippe today vi special delivery - it will be here within 18 hours - lovely.

Rowan · 07-05-2006, 08:11 PM

Well I just phoned expansys UK and was told all the 30 items in stock were being used to fulfil back orders.
But a few hours ago their stock level went to 50+, so I have just placed an order online and hopefully my HW6915 will be dispatched tomorrow (Thursday) for delivery on Friday.

I placed a order through HP in late March and am expecting delivery after the 13th. So if expansys dispatch it before then I will be cancelling my order through HP. Which will piss them off considering I have been given a 512mb mini-SD, battery and carry case as compensation for the delay. (to be found on ebay shortly)

Pulpdiction · 07-06-2006, 05:20 AM

Mine arrived about an hour ago

and is now being charged ready for use.

I ordered it in March from expansys UK so I was one of the first to get dispatched. I spoke to expansys yesterday they said they had 133 units delivered.

I checked the site. They are still showing 18 in stock. There was 41 this morning. Call and ask. The small print below the phone still says
"If you order this product before 4pm today, UK customers could expect delivery tomorrow morning."
