HTC Hero, coming July on Orange and T-Mobile, makes me want!

Damn,

Need to get proof of address and stuff sorted, but i still have everything registered to my parents address - the site says you can email them a proof of sig and address which is odd; assuming a scan is sufficient then?

I scanned mine in, just sent them, awaiting a reply

Did you scan in just the front of your Driving Licence?

Just secured a scanner and now off to the bank to get a statement!

Yup its only for the sig check so shouldnt need the back I hope!

Still no reply

Well I e-mailed saying because I get online statements is going into the Branch ok to get them to print off a statement and stamp it (worked for V12 finance) - and had no reply, rung them and the girl said "dunno...." <insert awkward silence> "just wait for the email reply I don't normally work in this department"... lol

Lol fair enough. I just need to cancel my O2 contract now and get the PAC. Wonder when it'll arrive, I'm excited!

Just out of interest, why did you go with T Mobile and not Orange?

Because orange have no signal here, or seemingly anywhere...this may prove to be the case with T-mobile also but we shall see. Oh and the one I'm getting is unlocked and free from orange bloatware

What are your ETAs? The website I ordered mine from sim-free gives a release date of 5/7/09. Hopefully I'll have it in my hands that day rather than them shipping it then.

My ETA just went from 5 days... to 21 days?

link removed.

You had a response to your documents being sent off yet?

looking at getting one of these to replace my lost viewty seen it for £399.99 but with a release date of 27/07/09 compared to£429.99 on the 15/07/09, both versions are white teflon

chriscpritchard · 3 Jul 2009 at 08:16

well it now says estimated 20 days, so it looks like it is actually the correct release date now, McDaniel, they said it takes up to 48 hours to process them, if you haven't heard by then, phone them up and pester them

Meatball · 3 Jul 2009 at 09:37

I've just swapped my order to a different website. If you order the HTC Hero from thXis particular website you pay £399 for the handset and get £30 of vouchers free.
