13.I heard co -pilot 7 is supposed to be good?

i'll try to answer:
1.yes
2.not with all the TYTN II features.
3. depends where you live
4. 8GB Sandisk
5. depends where you live
6. no
7. ebay, expansys
8. freewareppc.com, handandgo.com
9. search the forum for this thread.
10. Brando, Pdair has metal cases
11. see 7.
12. dunno
13. see 12.
Change the title of your message so it will be more clear. (e.g "Tytn II new user questions) so you will recieve more answers.
Enjoy,
Nadavi

9: Must have software... hmmm... I'll say:
*googlemaps (free)
*TCPMP (free media player)
*MT Software Today Agenda (Free very handy organiser) http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/todayagenda.shtml
* Windows live + messenger (free)
11: Martin Fields screen protector (google martin fields screen protector to find the site)
12 & 13: I hear TomTom is the best and the easiest to get updates. I hear Copilot is less efficient. To download new maps, you will incur charges, but for general use, you won't

1. Is it the best Phone/PDA/GPS System available at the moment?
This is bit tricky and broad question. Its all relative and personal
AND No device is perfect!
But, With the tips and tweaks you may find here, you can get the best out of TYTN II
Phone functions alright, GPS works fine with minor tweaks! For the PDA part, its upto you (what you want in a PDA?)
2. Is there another Model coming soon that anyones heard of as its been out a while?
Check Touch Cruise (Shares the ALMOST same spec)
3. Where is the best/cheapest place to buy it? I was quoted 2400 the other day at a reputable phone store, think that a bit much. MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
USA ?? With the reduced exchange rate for USD
4. What is the current largest MicroSD available?
You should look for MicroSD-HC (High Capacity)
I've seen 6GB, Maybe larger is out now!!
5. Where is the cheapest place to buy the largest Microsd? EBAY ETC
Again i wud say USA
6. Can the MSD be used as memory as the HTC's is limited?
No idea
7. Where is the best place to get accessories?
Depends on what accessories.
8. Where is the best place to get Software free and paid?
Check this forum for sure. You will get enough free stuff and links for paid stuff as well.
9. Can anyone recommend must have software for this phone ie: a top 10?
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
10. What is the best hard case available as the screen needs to be protected especially where im concerned?
&
11. Best place to get screen protectors?
When you buy TYTN II, you get a leather pouch and Screen protector included in the package! But do check your package contents before buying!
12. What is the best Mapping software available for this pda not worried about cost etc, need for driving so good maps, voice prompts and interested in Australia wide aswell with good points of interest program ie hotels tourist spots, general info on areas etc. (And no ongoing fees is preferable )
&
13.I heard co -pilot 7 is supposed to be good?
I'd say google maps rocks! And you cant get anything cheaper than that

Hi meggs8888,
The price you have been quoted in AUD is outrageous!
Try Organiser World in Latrobe Street Melbourne www.ow.com.au
or Crazy John's.
The Australian price should be in the range $1000- 1200 without a plan.
You should be able to do better if you get acorporate plan with Vodafone or Optus.

12. What is the best Mapping software available for this pda not worried about cost etc, need for driving so good maps, voice prompts and interested in Australia wide aswell with good points of interest program ie hotels tourist spots, general info on areas etc. (And no ongoing fees is preferable )
13.I heard co -pilot 7 is supposed to be good?[/QUOTE]
co-piolt 7 is very good you dont need to pay anything to use or update maps. you do need to pay to get different regions (USA UK etc) and you have to pay yearly for trafic reports but is a very good bit of software

Australian release today - With 3 hutchinson for TyTn II - Kaiser

Finally an official australian release for the phone with 3 in Australia. Outright price is AU$1099. Check link for details
http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentS...2637&cid=1153120041618&MobileId=1190337429343
Interesting thing also is that it comes with Co-pilot Live and not TomTom
Picked up mine today....very happy with it.
It comes with Co-pilot live V7 which is great, also full Car kit, Mount and holder which is made in Germany...looks the same as the brodit....and included is also the car charger.
U guys get a lot of things in the box. Enjoy ur Phone
Yeah...I am really pleased with it. I had a Universal before and loved that but it was just to big, also I could never get it fully compatible with the 3 network. I was worried about going from a VGA screen to QVGA....but I have already got use to it.
Copilot Live 7.0 issues
Guinevere,
I've purchased the HTC TYTN II from Three and absolutely love it!
just wondering if you had problems with Copilot Live 7? It seems that this version does not let you add custom POI's to its database. Also, the Safety Camera option is greyed out.
This same problem occurs on the desktop version as well (Copilot Central).
Any thoughts? Thanks!
How's Copilot 7? I haven't seen/used it since 5. It used to work great =)
When it comes to bundled goodies, North America really sucks. Luckily I still have family in Hong Kong and getting them to buy stuff there for me works out nicely.
i thought that htc had a contract with tomtom.
1099 is that with a full version of copilot?
a little off topic here but i was browsing the 3 website and trying to figure out what you guys pay for your wireless, 35 cents for 30s so with the 49 dollar plan you get 70 mins? am i understanding that right?
$29 for 1GB wow do you guys just get the cheap 29 cap and use msn with a data plan?
Well apparently in Australia, HTC's contract is with Copilot.
The Copilot Live 7 is a full version, with a few limitations as I previously pointed out (you can't update safety cameras or POIs).
Copilot Live 7 has a very much improved interface from version 6. It looks very pretty and very snappy in performance. It seemed to have learned from TomTom in terms of it's ease of use and its overall GPS experience.
neotekz, answering your questions about the 3 Network, I think you've misread it. Those price plans are what they call "Caps", meaning once you reach a certain amount of spend, you don't pay anymore till a certain allowed limit. The $29 Cap plan gives you a $120 spend limit, and another extra $70 for calls between 3 customers. So in theory, you get $190 to spend a month, which is pretty good deal. The higher the cap, the more credit you get.
The Data plans are separate. They start from $3 a month...
Excellent Value
That is a great deal. Stores here are charging $1200 and delivery end of Nov.
Can you give details of the ROM? Thanx

Where are you buying your TyTN II?

I'm curious, where is everyone buying their TyTN IIs? I almost got burned on a purchase through eBay (decent rating, but had to file a claim to get my refund).
I looked at smart-mobile-gadgets.com which looks pretty legit. They even have the version with TomTom in stock, and a good price. However when I called the number it went to a generic 'the person @ is unavailable' voicemail box.
I know it's carried at the XDA store but there's no guarantees yet on versions (I want TomTom) and I need the phone sooner rather than later.
On top of that, I've looked into becomming a reseller but none of my distributors carry it either, and I'm getting a lot of runaround from HTC America.
Any suggestions or stories of good experiences of your purchase? Please share!
i bought my unit from supergps - but it was faulty so i sent it back - they said they couldnt reproduce the fault and sent it back to me - so ive now got back to them and have asked for my money back - we'll see what happens - i will probably be buying the next kaiser from someone else who has a bit of credibility to their name (i dunno, maybe expansys)
i bought mine from phonesource-usa.com's store front in las vegas. It had tomtom, uk plug, and no us adapter. no hassles. only caveat is the 14 day return policy. my unit has a bad pixel, but i didn't feel like fussing over it (assuming they would have exchanged it anyway).
i'd buy from them again.
the XDA-Store has a great Deal: http://store.xda-developers.com/HTCTyTNII-unlocked.html
Comes with TomTom and US adapter for the UK plug
I bought from MobilePlanet, myself. And got a discount for getting the AT&T plan through them (need to call their CS to get that).
I would ask a question, though - if you're in the US and don't already own maps for TomTom, you're likely to end up unable to use the taster version that's included. The maps you can select from are relatively small (the LA area is three maps, for example), and I haven't run into anyone who could purchase additional maps for the included version without popping for TomTom 6 anyway.
So if you're in the US, you might want to reduce the importance of TomTom on your purchase decision.

Where to buy this phone (s730) at low price??

http://www.katshing.se/prod/prod.asp?aid=15307&ref=prisjakt 3 599 SEK = 545,34 $ = 374,82 €
@goolpone: It also depends on where do you come from: Africa, Asia, Usa, Europe? ;-)
geaerally? eBay my friend.
I'm italian, is there any body who want to sell his/her s730?.. i need 2 devices for $500/$520.. sameone?..
I found many people selling it through "second hand" stores in our country. Try to do the same with google focused on your country area with keywords / sell HTC s730 price / of course in your native language (sell, price).

So you want someone to sell you 2 phones that retail for around $500-550 new for the price of one? The European model has only been out for a few months and AFAIK not picked up by networks yet.
I think you need to either set your price higher or wait for network upgrades to filter on the market. It's when people get 'free' or heavily subsidised phones they don't need that second-hand deals start becoming attractive.
But good luck!

Sure hope thats each, unless someone got theirs for free no one would sell two for what they payed for one, and if it was a pre - prod unit...
but there are not carreer like vodafone, o2, cingular that sell it for a contract? and sameone that coul resell it? i know it's possible and yet done
Did you try my recommendation? I found the second hand phones (one month old = warranty) on 500 dollars level in CZ. I think that in your country you will find the same. There are many people disillusioned by RAM, ATI drivers, GPS lacks.
For a new phone such as this, you'd perhaps be better off trying on ebay
Do not forget that price on ebay is sometimes "penalized" by paying also the TAX and VAT to your custom.
My S730 is brandnew and im already so fed up with it.
Im going to sell it on ebay in the comming days.
I will also post the link to the auction on this forum for you to use.
It means that you are not satisfied by s730 and you will switch to different producer? As f.e. jocky.d? If yes, I have some favorites.
share your favorites then roomish....as I too am getting annoyed with my S730 and ebay is calling
It is so pitty - S730 could be so cool smartphone.
Well my favorites:
Asus P750 - although it has only 64MB - the free memory is about 20MB, the phone is handy sized
iPAQ 614c - very cheap, little bigger
I-mate 8502 - qwerty keyboard
All models are on the market only few days.
I've only had this thing since last week and I think I'm going to return it. The memory leak is horrible, not to mention there isn't enough of it to begin with. If I browse to a non-mobile url using IE, the browser closes since there isn't enough memory! The keyboard is slow and if I type fast, misses letters and I have to go back. A few times I have placed calls and they route through the speaker phone even though I haven't activated it and the entire phone locks up. Don't buy this phone, it sucks. I should have bought a Tytn II, at least then I would have working GPS.
I was after something a little smaller but with features.....
I liked the size of my old C600 but obviously you get more the bigger you get :s
and does anyone want to buy an S730?

Going to HK! So, where to go and what to buy?

After 20 years, I finally will be visiting my place of birth again, Hongkong.
I am planning a two day trip somewhere in july, and I'd like to buy some stuff for the HD2, but I'm not familiar in HK.
I did some googling about places to shop for electronics, and came accros something like 'golden computer arcade' and 'sham shui po'. And Shenzen, is that still hongkong or is it mainland china and do i need other visa for it?
There are a few things I'd like to look out for, and if someone who lives in HK can point me out where the buy such stuff, I'd be happy.
1
32Gb microSD. These baby's are available already, but too expensive right now. Do they sell these baby's in HK? And what is their average price? It doesn't needs to be Sandisk per se, any other brand will do. Also, class doesn't matter either, it's just about the storage. And a little bit of quality of course.
2
A decent headset with in ear phones, with music control and maybe some other functions like volume rocker etc. Can be wired or BT. I listen to music occasionaly so I don't need the high end stuff.
3
Does something exists like a bluetooth memorystick/device? for example, some 16gb flash drive, running on a penlite (or two) and have bluetooth that supports for file transfers? Imagine a small size bt memorystick that you can easily cary in your pockets.
4
I'd like to buy a tablet device, but don't want an iPad (too expensive, too locked down, and too Apple) But a KIRF running android or so. Something like this:
http://www.clonedinchina.com/2010/0...clone-packs-1ghz-arm-cortex-a8-processor.html
or this:
www.clonedinchina.com/2010/04/epad-looks-like-a-bigger-iphone-priced-at-394.html
There are a lot of KIRFS and i don't care how they look like. Just need a decent tablet with updated OS and some horsepower on the cheap.
Usage at home, need web browsing, media player, some basic games and voip support.
Any suggestions from someone who lives in HK?
5
Spare parts for HD2, like lcd screen, digitizer, housing etc. Just in case that the best wm6.5 ever made suddenly dies on me.
I bought some adina batteries from ebay, shipped from hongkong, 3 euro's a piece and it still works fine for me.
I know that there are a lot of stuff out there that I actually have to check out myself, but since I will be just two days in HK, I think í'll be too short on time to find shops that offer pretty reliable items. I know that almost everything is a counterfeit, but I don't care about it to much, as long as it works.
I will be editing this post more often the following days, because I want to buy my HD2 some little presents .
Anyone who has a suggestion, please let me know.
Thanks guys.
i am not sure what it is called, but where the markets are in kowloon, the streets running parallel to that should have what you want. one street is electronics, the next is sporting goods and so on. i have never seen so many phone stores in my life. there are also electronic stores spread all over the place in kowloon ranging from the market type shops (ps3 games etc)to large retail types that have everything (kind of like harvey norman) sorry i cant help with names as it has been a few years since i was there, but it is electronics heaven over there. would love to go back also.

I might be able to bring something back, depending the item ofcourse. I don't know if i'll be able to contact you when I'm in HK, it's just a two day trip and data roaming may be mighty expensive. That's why I'm depending on people who live in HK and know the stuff we just might need for the HD2 and tell us what is available.
If you come back with some ideas where to buy stuff and how much it cost it would be nice. I have friends, that travel to HK very often. But they are young women with no sense for tech, and they also will not be able to check hundred stores for me. But I would have any idea, how expensive is for example HD2 in HK I can send them to buy it for me

Hi. i go to HK at least once a year (my wife is from HK) and i advise you not to go to the shops in TST/kowloon as they will rip you off!!!!!.....go to mong kok there is a great shopping centre there that is just for mobile phones its great! and is very big (three floors i think)...i can get an exact address for you from the wifes brother as he still lives in HK. i also know the "golden computer arcade" but its small compared to the one im talking about and sham shui po is more for computer components etc. the mobile phone centre i mentioned sells all sorts of spares and accessories for phones but i was there about 5 months ago and because the hd2 was only just released the was no spare parts available but im sure by now there will be many!!!!! as you asked shenzen is in mainland china (the town on the HK - China border) you will need a visa if youve got a european or us passport...i think i paid 800hk$..But that was for a multi entry 3 month visa so you could probably get a cheaper single entry visa.....
I hope this answers your questions.....if you want the address for the phone shopping centre...just reply to me and i will get it fot you!
Edit......heres the link to show the address for the phone centre

Thanx for the info. I do believe mongkok is a better place to bargain about the price. But i also think that Shenzen is even better considering price ranges, that's what i've read on the web.
http://www.hkstreet.com/story0101j.htm
The above article says that you can pay with HK Dollars in Shenzhen. Does this still aply, because another article says it's not. And none of those articles mentions when they were there.
I've really set my mind on buying a tablet. Any recommandations?

are there many differences between mongkok and shenzhen?
sweet i am coming to hong kong at the end of June for a week and would want to buy an HD2. However I need the Telstra T9193 version. Would Mongkok (and/or) Shenzhen sell such a product?
Don't go to Shenzhen. Shenzhen is in mainland China and not in HK although it's not very far and there they sell mostly China-made copied/look-alike phones/gadgets not the real deal unless u think those fakes are fun.
Mongkok is a good place to go and you can also find good stuff & accessories in the Wanchai Computer Mall on the HK Island side (on Henessary Road right next to the Wanchai MTR station and the Southorn sportsground).

Momax battery for HD2. I have 2 of them and they work well.

I like to look and feel what copies and other counterfeits are all about.
Since i need a simple MID, running android, to read books, browse internet and watch movies, i thought, it does not matter much what brand it is.
What I like to know is, is it true that SEG has more stuff that the shops around mongkok?
Lastly, the most stupid question of the world:
Can i buy buy parts to assemble my own tablet? Or even assemble my own HD3 with 5" capacitive display and running Tegra 2? Just out of curiousity
Do they sell for example complete SBC with a variety kind of chips, hook up an LCD of your choice and let them flash any OS onto it?
You going there for two days?? or did i missed anything?
im heading there late July for 5 weeks asia trip but probably a week in HK (visit relative) tho cuz im heading to Shanghai, Beijing (relative), Thai and VietNam (relative) as well
Yes our family tree are everywhere hahaha (TW, Australia, Holland, France, US, NewZealand, Philippines and Malaysia) dont ask me how

I've rescheduled my flight, now I'm going three days. yayh... I will be there from july 15 till july 17. I'm planning to stay somewhere near mongkok or nathan road, so when i jump out of bed in the morning, i'll rush out of the hotel, have some pork dumplings and go shopping.
Still, I want to go to shenzhen. Can somebody tell me if I can pay with HKD in Shenzhen?
How unfortunate.
In my op is wrote that I would get some spare parts for the HD2, if it would die on me one day. Well, it just happened to be today.
My daughter dropped it and the screen is broken.
The upper left part of the screen is pitch black, while the rest remains visible and functional. Even multi touch still works.
So I've dissasmbled the whole thing and even placed the HD2 in a preheated oven of 50 degrees, let it there for 10 minutes (as a punishement) and could easily remove the digitizer from it. But is seems the LCD has cracked too, so I'm off to buy a complete new lcd with digitizer. Anyone in HK that can tell me where to get these in HK? Ofcourse, it needs to fit, unlike some other parts I once bought for the n95, it didn't fit at all. Ofcourse, I will bring my HD2 with me, maybe they can fix it for me there on the cheap. I've already disassembled the whole freak.
I'm not going to buy a replacement HD2 since the HD3 will be out within 6 months or so.
So, HK guys, if you have some time, check it out for me, okay?
If you happen to pass by a shop, check it out for me, will ya?
Thanx in advance.
FYI I bought a HD2 in sham shui po last month near the golden computer centre for HKD4590.

Hi guys and girls here,
I really need all of your help. COuld you all please give me some ideas for my survey here. I'm planning to make a website and with this website, i want to help customers find the lowest cost carrier deals for smartphones and tablets", of course for the latest flagships/tablets around the market to date (like iPhone 5, SGS SIII/S4, Xperia Z, etc) and the most popular carriers in the world (like Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, etc).
What i really need is, for example, if i make a website, what kind of tips or solutions do you always want to know every time you're planning to buy new smartphone or tablet? What type of information that you all usually search on the internet in order to get the best deals before buying the smartphone.
For examples are like,
"Which carriers have the lowest cost of internet data/phone service/text plans for iPhone 5",
"5 Tips to find the lowest cost carrier plans/deals" or
"the pros and cons of using cheaper carrier deals",
"the pros of cons for using internet data on verizon for iPhone 5"
or something like that.
So please could you all help give me some ideas for articles that i want to make about this topic. I really appreciate all of your help here. Thanks..

This may sound harsh, and i dont mean to be. . . But www.google.com springs to mind, research, and also theres lots of websites out there like that. . . just look and read.
This is off-topic and shouldn't be posted in the HTC One thread.
I think you're ten years too late, here in germany there a lot of websites to find favorable contracts with highend smartphones.
