First I want to say Hi to everyone, I'm new to this so here goes. I just bought the TYTYN II and the application disk doesn't contain the GPS software can anyone tell me where can I download it?
hi, since your new here try using the search button. there are more than a couple threads. it should be on the disk that came with the phone.
If you got a tytn ii from asia (hong kong, china, etc.) it will not have tomtom. mine didn't even though i got it from the US, the distributor got it from hong kong.

How do you know that you missing the software? Where did you read that you're reseller included Tomtom? Why are you asking it here?
my reseller himself did not know that it wasn't included.
I had to send him a screen shot of the 2nd disc as proof. he still didn't give a crap.
Take a look here

Is there a good place in Taipei to find HTC phones - particularly the Kaiser at this point at a reasonable price?
I'll be there on business in a couple of months - and it'd be cool to come back with a new phone....
TIA,
Richard
I share the same question but would add to it - is it possible to find there English ROM? Does the keyboard also contains Chinese characters? Is there a place that sells the international version?
No one sells it YET
There are many release dates circulating, but they are all guesses, They people who do know can't tell us).
Once you can buy it, you should be able to get an English ROM. If my experience of buying phones in Dubai is anything to go by, they stocked Arabic and Western phones, I'd suspect you won't have a problem.

I am in Dubai and the keypad depends on the model you are buying. I recently got a new HP laptop and it did not have arabic keys but most other laptops had.

I live in Taiepi and have had no luck getting any HTC PDA's here. The reason is that up to now the only available models come with Chinese and if one flashes an upgrade with English, the warranty is shot. If that does not bother you, then just be aware that the keyboard will have both English and Chinese on it. As I have lived here for almost 31 years I have found that you can get used to keyboards with English and Chinese on it. Since I bought my first computer in 1980 I have never owned a keyboard without Chinese on it.
If you are going to be in Hong Kong too you could pick up an English model. I am not sure if the warranty would still cover you when you return home. Before, the people here told me to buy their PDAs in HK, but to be aware that if the darn thing needed repairs, it would have to be done in Hong Kong.

Oh, you can buy the phones here, no problem, with the Dopod brand, or CHT (Chung Hwa Telecom), and now HTC brand, but the problem is again warranty, if you change from Chinese to English. As you know, a PDA phone is not like a smart phone that you can change the language just by going through menus.
Frustrating for me that these things are made here but I have not been able to buy an English model, but see the Chinese versions sold all over the place here, including several stores within 15 minutes of walking of where I live. I exhausted Dopod's customer service email with complaints about lack of English models here............
HTC and Dopod are of course Taiwanese companies.
Chinese to English
You can flash an English ROM (which voids the warranty).. then, if some unforeseen problem occurs, flash back to a Chinese Rom to send back for repair (re-instates warranty coverage.)
I have a CHT9000 (from Taiwan) which I have flashed (too many times.. back and forth).....I don't think "they" can detect which roms have been flashed to the phone.
Not sure if Kaiser has been CID-unlocked yet.."if not" only a matter of time.
If you can't flash back to Chinese, before repair... you are obviously screwed.
Edit: didn't realize the date..
Tytn II in Taipei
EDIT: me neither :-(
The current price is around 780 USD (23.500 NTD) here in TPE, but as mentionned by another earlier, only CHT ROM.
I bought my Tytn II in HK at a cheaper price than here in TW.
Side kick is that I need to go to HK if my TW device gets broken under warranty
No
Stock seems to be plentiful. BTW, what is the hardware GPS com port on the Kaiser?
Many thanks.

Thanks very much! Guess Mapking will have to go thru the software port as no hardware GPS com port is present.....
HTC Kaiser in HK...
Where in HK can I purchase the unit? How much is the Store Selling Price??
Just wanted to ask the same question.... Would be nice to get an indication before the phone hits Singapore (hopefully only a matter of days...)

Got mine without a contract at telco (CSL) for HKD5871. List price here is HKD6180. Most of the retail shops are selling @ HKD6080 with screen protectors and 1GB MicroSD.
FX HKD/USD 7.8
BTW, the phone can be had for around HKD3600 with a 12-month contract of at least HKD200/month.
Hope this will shed some clue for people in Singapore or elsewhere in Asia.....
below list price..
is there any shop that sells below list price?
English version
Is it avaiable in English Version???

English and Chinese. Some computer shops are selling HKD100 lower with 1GB MicroSD and screen protector.... Not much discount at the moment.
GPS MAP
based on I saw on their website, it comes with Mapking, in this case, what country map is included with the unit? Does it comes with any free maps?
As per everyone's experience, which place is the cheapest place to buy PDA phones? Wanchai ? Mongkok? ShamShuiPo?

I got my English TyTN II from here :http://www.smartphonestunts.nl/smartphone/htc/tytnii_uk/tid122/index.html
a real shop
Hi, i've looked for a "real" shop , not a web based.
If you know one in ireland.
Nadavi.
Sorry mate, not off hand.
hello nadavi i live in dublin also and have looked all over the place the best place to get one is expansys that where i got mine
Hi All,
I am thinking of getting one of these for £125, from Expansys on o2, £40/m, 400mins, I think its quite a lot but o2 has no pricing details so cant compare, another few months they say before release (UK).
Anywhere else I can get one with contrac?
Also, does anyone know what the spec of the GPS chip is on the TyTNII?
Thanks
Hmmmm.....you might want to change the thread title...
TyTNII (spelling!) in a TyTNII forum is not very eye-catching....
Sorry I couldn´t be of more help....
i just received my new Kaiser but i've a big problem:
it can't detect the Italy map that i used on my old Ipaq 6915...
any suggestions?
have you paid for tomtom on your tytn II?
tt6 was in the applications cd
the maps...well they're from the mule
Was your previous version of TOMTOM on your Ipaq 6915 version 6? Possibly a compatability issue...

Why not buy the maps ? The whole of Western Europe is not that expensive
Although I had run the "Taster" (hacked as my Vario III got the "Rom" error when I tried) once I knew it worked I bought a legit copy of the maps and software (and also added "Traffic" and "Safety Cameras"). I didnt even buy the software/maps from tomtom as they were too expensive. A simple search of a few trusted websites saved me over £20 (which I spent getting a nice new 4GB micro-sd card)
yes, it was the 6.0 cracked version
the one i have now is the 6.020 from htc's cd
now the maps are 50% off 'till the end of the month so if i don't manage to fix this i'll buy the eu maps...but i wanted to avoid this solution
Don't want to speak for the mods here, but I guess they'll think this thread is wandering into forbidden territories
mmm maybe

I thought the taster was 6.032
Tomtom's "latest" is 6.030 (according to the downloads page)
