Hi guys,
I am about to buy a HTC touch HD, but I live in the Netherlands and I dont speak dutch...
So before I spend a lot of money, i was wondering if it would be possible to find a way to change the operating system language form dutch to english (or French).
Since I am (really) a newbie, I would appreciate any link to a tutorial.
Cheers

Wait till the HardSPL releases. Flash English/French ROM and you're done
Thx a lot.
I have now 2 questions
What is a HardSPL (and how do I use it?) and
When is it gonna be released?
It was 3 questions actually
1. Read the wiki on Hard SPL (answers questions 1 and 2)
2. they are still working on the HSPL for the HD, see the sticky.. As soon as it is available you will notice it..
why don't you buy the www version? i am dutch and also speak it and i could choose the nl version and the www version, you can do that on many dutch sites.
If you want if for free (or a small amount) with a subscripion, some mobile-operators will only sell dutch version of HD.
not at PDAshop.nl for instance. But their phones are a bit more expensive then when you buy them in the shop...
Well I maybe could buy it online but I would have to pay a lot.
Here I am buying it with the KPN flexible contract, and I have the phone for free.
They told me that they were selling it only with the dutch version (which is not very logical when you see the number of foreigners in Holland who dont speak dutch...)
I could have the HTC Diamond in English but I d rather wait a little bit for the HardSPL to be released.
By the way I tryed to look on the wiki to see how to use the HSPL, but I did not find it, if someone could give me the link I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Just buy a WWE version. In the netherlands most shops sell both, also with a KPN contract. Check for example this shop. I think that is the best way to go for you, other than waiting for a hardspl
This website looks interesting but its in dutch!! And from what I have understood if I wanna have the phone for free with the KPN flexible, I need to take the 45euros/month.
In the shop they give it to me for 27.5 euros/month with internet included...
But thanks anyway for the help
I can't imagine the HD for that amount of money! I think it's without data use, the costs of it will be on top of the € 27,50.
No! everything is included!!
Thats why I couldnt believed it at first too!
And thats also why I am gonna wait patiently for the HSPL to be released
What you can also do is go for the 45 euro option...you will have internet and all..
After 3 months you can downgrade your subscription for free to any amount you want. Even the 20 euro one.
Nofi.. But how about you learn the language of the country you are living in? like all foreigners should do..
And how about you teach me dutch in two weeks?
Did I tell you that I didnt want to learn dutch?
This is where i bought a HD at a very sharp price; it's also available in English (2 weeks delivering time)

The site is in dutch, but you must have some dutch ppl round you that are willing to help i hope, they're not all jerks..
Thanks for the post. I live in Amsterdam and had the same issue. Tried all stores and they all looked at me like I am crazy for asking for an English version. Anyhow, not sure if you already got one, but I tried the suggestion and went with www.2call.nl. Got mine in less than 2 days. They have the EN version in stock now. T-Mobile has a great deal now, 2 years contract, 29 euros per month for 300min, and free internet for 2 years...
Hey dudes can someone hook me up on dizz one, im running alcanine ROM and it runs verry good but i want it in Dutch... I'm fed up with the ENG ROM and cant find dutch langauge pack.
Thanks in adv.
I am very eager to have it in my native language (Dutch) as well. Though I doubt if Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard actually already is available in Dutch... anyone knows if the S740 is available in a non-english version? (French, German, Italian or, in this case, Dutch).

Hello,
I intend to order the unlocked HTC Touch Diamond II at amazon.co.uk for using in Germany.
Please, could someone confirm, if this device will work in German mobile networks, especially in ePlus?
Please don't laugh if you think it's a dumb question
Hello!
Please tell me why you want to buy this in the UK? The Price isn't better and if it is broken you have to send it to UK back. You can buy the phone in Germany for round about 430 Euro (PDAMax.de)
But I think, this will also work for Germany because it's only another language.
Not sure if it will help but..
I have just travelled from the UK, through Holland, into Germany to the Nurburgring, back to the UK via Spa & have had perfect reception hopping over onto different networks
Cheers, Shane, (UK)
Hello twoutlaw,
thank you for your reply.
I want the English version of the TD2... I could purchase the German one at amazon.de - the online shop I trust
I would get it at amazon.co.uk for ~ 30-40 EUR more than from the German branch; it's OK for me for this deal.
Why I'm thinking about the compatibility: please take a look at the screenshot of the German TD2. It tells us, that the German device has the "DE" radio version (Funkempfängerversion). I don't know, if the "GB" radio will work here. It should, I think

Hello Shane,
sure, it really helps me! Were you also "roamed" to ePlus being in DE?
Hi,
Not sure really as I was too busy having fun, but I know I had reception at all times & must have had about 6 to 8 text messages, saying welcome to ??? network
Cheers again, Shane

You should write it down; it will be the Sentence Of The Century once upon the time!
Thank you for the info and kind regards!
It works
The English Topaz works perfectly in Germany.
I’ve just got Dutch Topaz and it’s perfectly works in Russia. Don’t worry. Take it. U can also take Topas in Germany and re-flash it using HardSPL to official English rom.
Please, can someone with an HTC HD7 bought from O2 in UK, tell me the languages available in it ?
Because on "First boot videos of O2 HD7 on You Tube, I just saw : English, German and Spanish .... but on WP7 it was supposed to have more languages, as French, Dutch, Italian ....
Thanks a lot for your help
It only comes with English, German and Spanish.
I would expect o2 have locked out other languages to stop people importing it? They offer it in Germany which explains the German option and Telfonica who own o2 are Spanish afaik.

Thanks , now it's clear
I don't care for myself ( I'll get mine in 3 days), but a friend of mine non-english speaking (just french) will know now that she have to buy the HD7 in France, with just 8 Go , because O2 got the European exclusivity for 16 Go storage, as I read ....
I just bought Toshiba Portege G910, it was my dream device back in 2009, but I couldn't afford it, found an amazing deal on eBay, however the language is Italian, spend 4 hours looking for an English ROM but couldn't find anything. I really want to experience this phone in English, can anyone provide me with a download link for an English ROM?
I would really appreciate the help.
