Just had a word with an old friend who used to work at T-Mobile Head Offices and it transpires that my initial suspicions, which I posted on another thread, were right! The delay in T-Mobile releasing their tariffs and handset prices is mainly down to them c0cking up with the order of micro-sims. At the time my mate spoke with a colleague who still works there (some time last week) they still didn't have enough, if any, sims to send out 🙄
And then to add further delay, the whole fiasco with the signal issue and yellow screen has led their tech boys to carry out further tests.
Word now has it that an announcement will be made next Wednesday as they are having trouble keeping hold of a lot of disgruntled customers. Hence the offer of £10 off line rental until the release of the phone.
