Changing language

Hey all. www.pdashop.nl now has teh TyTN II up for pre-order, but only the dutch version. Theyr'e shipping it for more than 100 euro's cheaper than expansys is, but.... It's the Dutch version.
Though I'm Dutch myself I have always used an English operating system on both my pc and my phones.
Would it be possible to flash a Dutch TyTN II with an English ROM without too much hassle?

Maybe better for you to get it from here if you want an English version http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/765/htc-tytn-2

Jesse,
PDA Shop has now also the UK version. I also can not stand the Dutch on any operationg system (well not only dutch but any language for that matter). I have given them a call last week asking if they are going to ship the UK version and the answer was no, since there was no demand for it. Well friday I have noticed that they do list it now on the site. I guess more people were asking for it.
Also I am going to order one from www.smartphonestunts.nl I have done business with them in the past and they were perfect. The PDA shop is no go by because of 2 reasons
1. they do not want to sell me a T-Mobile subscription (and i am due for a renewal, so meaning major discount on the device)
2. I have noticed a couple of times that they sell products which do not come from the official Dutch dealers. THis was the case with my friend's ETEN, which needed a ROM update and I was not able to download it since the serial number did not match, after I contacted eten people here in the NL they told me right away that I probably purchased the device from PDA Shop and that it is not their device thus I have no right to get a ROM update. After begging they let me have it, because the guy was nice. And on another ocasion we needed to purchase 4 devices (Trinity) for a client and 3 of them I was not able to register on the site to get the ROM update the S/N was rejected. I did not make a fuss since it was for client who did not care and I was already able to register one device so I downloaded the ROM update.
Also you can try www.algebeld.nl

Try to find one in France with no chance .
Is the keyboard only in QWERTY ?

Confused i am

hi all
I am a bit confused ( dont take much these days) is the HTC TYTN II the Kaiser, as they look very similar and when i google it thats what i find..
also as anyone got one recently from t-mobile as i am due a upgrade and how much did they pay for it.
Cheers for the help
Neel

Yes the Kaiser was renamed the TyTN II. Not sure about your second question.

HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTn II / T-Mobile Vario III = all the same thing
(except the Vario looks cheap and nasty)

T-Mobile is a worldwide company and people from across that world read this forum. Which T-mobile are you talking about?

I'm referring to the UK variant.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but at the OP.

i am in the UK

As far as I know Kaiser is/was the name given by HTC during the development of the device. It is now sold as the HTC Tytn II. TMobile UK are selling/will be selling this as the MDAvario III. Vodaphone UK will also carry this device as V165 or something similar.All of these devices are manufactured by HTC. Most providers will have their own customised ROM installed. Currently we are unable to CID unlock these devices and so we are stuck with default provider ROMs. Eventually I am sure Pof or some other genius on here will work out how to CID unlock them and then the fun begins with our own customised ROMs.

Yep they are all Kaisers = generic name for all of them
TyTn II is the one sold under the HTC name and then as said above you have all the other variants as well.

Model name question...

Hi
Before I start posting for real I just want to double check that this is the correct section for my device. I bought it as a HTC TyTN II on the Orange network in the UK. I'm really confused by all the names these can be called by so if someone can confirm I'm in the right place that would be great...someone said I have a Hermes but the picture doesn't look quite right! Would it be a good idea to include as many of the various names on the forum index as poss?
Thanks

A TyTN II is a kaiser one, not a hermes. Hermes is the first TyTN

Look at the pictures

Great thanks for that - I tried a search on the general site for 'model list' but didn't find that page,
Thanks again - now all is clearer...

The Kaiser comes under a plethora of different names:
HTC TyTn II
T-Mobile MDA Vario III
AT&T Tilt (Pretty much the same without the front camera)
Vodafone v1615
O2 XDA Stellar (There are rumours that this has an FM radio built in but the O2 UK stores and website deny this)

Dutch version

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and to Windows Mobile. I'm planning to get a new Diamond 2 in The Netherlands. Searching I've found that I can get the MDA Compact V version from T-Mobile NL or go for the HTC Diamond 2 version on T for Telecom. My biggest concern is that I want to have the device in ENGLISH, does anyone from The Netherlands know which versions are sold here and which language they ship with?
Is it possible to change the language afterwards in case it comes in dutch? I've seen some threads talking about the need of flashing the ROM for this. I'm a really new to all this so I don't know if that is possible using official HTC ROMS or is something else...
I don't know if I make much sense, sorry again if I talk non-sense.
Thanks!

In almost every shop you can choose between the NLD (Dutch) version and the UK (WWE) version. Just ask at the shop.

Thanks, I'll try that. I had assumed that being in The Netherlands all shops will be selling only the Dutch version.

Sorry, but you can't chose between langages in the shops in The Hague, especialy at Bel Company. They don't care if you want an english version and they become very arogant about that. Best thing is to buy one in dutch if they don't want to provide one in english and ask nicely CMONEX to help you to change the language in english.

Thanks for the info iulnitu. I'll check on Saturday and see if I can get it in English. It's a bit strange that this happened to you at Bel Company. In their website they are announcing both version NL and UK, you can check here:
http://www.belcompany.nl/NL/Ik_Wil/een_nieuw_toestel.htm
Anyway, I'll guess I'll find out personally this Saturday. Anyone with a similar experience?

pdashop.nl sells devices in NL en ENG. Other sites do too.

T-Mobile will probably only sell the Dutch device. If you want to get a WWE version you'll have to look at a HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Not MDA Compact V).

[Q] Phone regional settings

Hi guys, my first post so would like to say hello firstly and glad I found a dedicated forum on WP7 and the HD7!
Anyway, I've just bought my very first WP7 and HTC handset which was from an eBay shop based in the UK.
The phone came with a EU plug so it's obviously not a UK phone but that's ok. What I am worried about though is that settings such as the radio and keyboard don't have the UK listed as an option. The radio setting only has 'World, North America and Japan' and the keyboard only has 'English US'. I did have to change the region to UK as it was defaulted to AU.
Any ideas if I can get UK listed and if it would even make a difference? Not really worried about the keyboard to be honest, but I have found the radio to be very poor - I can only pick up one station which is BBC Radio 1, and even that is quite temperamental.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
