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)

daft question i know, why dont u just buy a new screen and fit it yourself, its easy and only around £30
firstly I dont have the experience, apparently its very tricky with soldering etc. eek.
and secondly iv bought a spv m2000 as i couldnt wait and im much happier with this phone. I thought the alpine was good! the keyboard is ace.
Almost over for this auction!

Say, could you sell the GPS receiver separately?
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?
Hi guys
just about to get this phone and wondering if anyone have any feedback about the Tmobile one.Gave up on the Xda Exec long time ago because of size.
Will going back to the HTC rom give me Tom Tom 6? Tmobile MDA Vario III does nt come with it

I got one on launch day. In short, by far the best WM phone ive ever owned... very nicely built, stable, lots of memory, bonus GPS (seems as good a SIRF3 chipset to me...), good reception. TMob obviously give the best tarifs for data, and their customer services are lovely and helpful.
Not sure if the TomTom demo came on the CD or on the rom - i suspect the CD, so im guessing no to the tomtom question
Go for it - you wont be disapointed
g
You don't get the full TomTom with the HTC version anyway - it's just a "tryout" I believe.
I love my Vario 3 - best WM phone I've owned. Enough memory to not have to worry about closing things down, (mostly) quick. Lovely bit of kit.

I have the T-Mobile Vario III and I flashed HTC rom. T Mobile rom doesn't have TomTom 6. Flashing back to HTC rom will not help since it's (TomTom 6) not a part of the official rom.
Search and Read the wiki for more details. Also Pof has given a very good step by step method to HardSPL your device. See his post and if possible read all before you flash new rom.
Good Luck

I believe the Tomtom App is full it is just the map that you will need to purchase as they only give you a demo of a map that you have to download when registering.
thanks
Thanks for the speedy reply guys.Will have the Vario III in the morning.
Will make sure i get the insurance just the case the cooking goes wrong.
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.

hey friends, After doing a long research on PDA WM phones, I arrived to the conclusion that Kaiser is the way to go!!! (WOOT)
Now I just have a couple of questions, Where can I get a good price for a Kaiser ? ( any link appreciated ), is getting an AT&T tilt unlocked the same as getting the real kaiser ? ( a 8925 of course ) what do do what to do !!??
Almost all places that I have seen where they have the HTC kaiser 120 costs around 750-800us$ and the tilt 8925 is around 500us$ is there much of a difference ? can I get the tilt to work just like the REAL kaiser, upgrading roms ? will the supposedly new rom with the new video drivers will work on the tilt !!!! ( insert dramatic music )
Please help me ( <-- lame phrase )
Please help me pimp my .... mobile device ?
Thank you all !

/me sneaks in and writes again in the post, to place it on top...

My wife's got a tilt and I have a kaiser. No real difference except for the obvious. But the rom change on the tilt is needed immediately att software is lame! I put duttys 7.0 on my wifes and it's faster then my kaiser with stock rom.
Here´s a good place to start.....

I guess, and I was pissed when I got my Tilt. But then realized it's probably not worth $200-300 for a VGA camera, that I can't even use on my network
So sticking with the Tilt, since I want to go WM7 on a new device when it rolls out
Go to newegg.com and search for the tilt. Print that off and take it to your local AT&T store, they will honor newegg's price. Right now it's $175, but my girlfriend and I got ours for $150 when it was that price. For instance if newegg has it for $150, att will sell it to you for $250 with a $100 mail in rebate. Can't beat that, only thing is you have to have unlimited data until the rebate comes, which is 6-8 weeks.

Hi:
I see most of your questions have been addressed.
I wanted to mention, that if you really want to "pimp you phone", here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336013&goto=newpost) is a good place to start getting ideas. That is a post where people post their Today screens. Most people will include info on what programs etc. they used to make it look a certain way. It's a great thread to get an idea of the endless possibilities you have when it comes to the appearance of this phone.
Also, as far as making the most of your phone, read, read, read
That's what I did, I have read HUNDREDS of posts here, and learned so much.
I have only had my Tilt for about a month, but if you saw it now, you wouldn't even believe it is the same phone ATT sent me
Not to mention that I have added so many amazing programs, apps etc. that I learned about here, that my phone can do just about anything now
