Certificate Revoked!?
Just called the guys at Inkino who still beleive that they will be getting the little gems in on the 5th (this week).
Went to place a pre-order but when you goto their shopping cart I get this:
This organization's certificate has been revoked
Surely not good.
I really want one of these on release!!!
Just received this email from our friends over at Modaco
If you've been on the site of late, you'll no doubt have spotted the excitement around the new HTC Pocket PC, codenamed 'Kaiser' and now branded the 'TyTN II'.
A considerable upgrade from the original TyTN, the new device features the same sliding-QWERTY layout, but in a smaller package and with boosted specs. The TyTN II features integrated GPS, a 3 Megapixel autofocus camera, 256MB ROM and much more.
MoDaCo has teamed up with Expansys to bring you an exclusive preorder offer on this hot new device!
Our bundle, priced exactly the same as the regular TyTN II, offers

In a German PocketPC Forum a member reported that a German accessories supplier stopped the production because he had the sure message HTC had finished the KAISER production
( http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=124775 )
According to this message my actually experience in Germany is that a lot of important sellers cannot deliver the KAISER any more or set their delivery time on - indefinite time - !
...by the way: The German KAISER has a special feature: Keyboards have a QWERTZ-keyboard, not a QWERTY-keyboard as usual.
Dont know if this is relative, but i read somewhere 4got where..i think here, a rumour, that Kaisers in general have been put on production hold due to the fact that two driver software companies are in litigation (in courts) over a patent infringement.
i will try to find the link where i read this and post it
Great news...then HTC has time to sort out the stupid mistakes on this device.
Well look at the bright side.... atleast they are not planning to rip of new customer with the buggy video graphics... but if they are stopping production i doubt they are gonna be releasing any drivers for the Kaiser.... Boo Hoo
If this is about Qualcomm losing against Broadcom in the IP infringement fight, serves HTC right for picking Qualcomm for their core chipset.
It was probably this stupid decision that delayed the Kaiser release, made it expensive to develop it for performance, disallows tech support in the USA, and now it would starve sales because of chipset shortage. Hence, it's not really saving money versus going with an SiRFIII + Xscale or Samsung combination.
Woo, go Qualcomm!
Now can we get recompense for buying a turkey product that HTC can no longer support?
Doesn't that ruling ONLY apply to the US though? HTC sell their phones in a LOT more countries than just the US, so I doubt a US only ruling would affect the overall design of the devices like is being suggested.
As I understand TyTn II is exactly what the Polaris is Plus the keyboard. Now if the production of the TyTn is being stopped due to some litigation issue then how is it that the same does not apply to the Polaris
The post only states that a company that produces accessories for the Kaiser "said" that there will be no more. The statement was NOT made by HTC
perhaps the company supplying the accessories needs to sell of alot of stock and to create a run.... well it wouldnt be the first time hey...
I'm looking for this phone (s730) at lower price.. i need number 2 devices.. who can make me better price? thank you!

@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?

I got my Diamond delivered yesterday from Expansys, the unit arrived almost a week early which was fantastic, however it appears Expansys are selling grey imports, see: http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=110164
a. What is a grey import?
b. Why does the HTC website not acknowledge the serial number?
c. Should I sent the unit back and wait until the 'UK Official Stock' arrives?
Thanks.
A grey import, to my knowledge, means that its not the white (i.e legal) market, but not the black (i.e. illegal) market, but inbetween. So, was imported legally, but youre not meant to sell it to UK residents. Which in this case means no UK warranty and as you have seen, a serial not recognised by HTC UK's website.
As other people have suggested, wait until the other stores are shipping real UK stock, i.e devicewire, clove etc, and then call them and complain, that way, you dont have to wait until they get official stock in.
Rory
a. Rory's right. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market
"The grey market is the trade of something legal through unofficial, unauthorized, unintended distribution channels."
So basically, they're importing the Touch Diamond and selling it before they should. Nothing particularly illegal, but HTC are going to be really angry with Expansys.
b. I have no idea. Perhaps you could get in contact with HTC and see what they say you should do.
c. I would refer you to my answer for b.
If your in the UK you're covered by distance selling regulations. You can send it back within 7 days
http://www.oft.gov.uk/advice_and_resources/resource_base/legal/distance-selling-regulations/
Also you are perfectly entitled to send it back because it is not as described - which of course its not if its a grey import.
If expansys give you grief you can use trading standards, or even have your credit card company retract the payment and deal with it for you
Expansys usually tell you all the details of each handset before you buy it such as language and warranty coverage, depending on which Expansys site you are ordering from (I've found alarming price differences for the same Touch Diamond depending on where you order it from) so you need to strike a balance assuming you have no import restrictions.
I just realised something... Remember when Lik-Sang imported PSP's to the UK and Europe, and even to the SCEE President, and Sony sued them at the High court and got them closed down, stating that the power adapters weren't safe, could HTC do the same? Would serve Expansys right for
A) misleading and
B) overpricing.
Rory
I dont get this guys, HTC.com are partners with Expansys, and HTC are selling direct online through Expansys.
HTC´s online store;
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc.aspx
Powered by Expansys!
If you can register the Diamond on HTC's website then I figure it is ok and the warranty stands. However, if you cannot then I would be starting to think about returning it and asking Expansys to pick up all related costs...

OK, Im not some sort of southern hemisphere dealer or nothing, but I've got a perfect HTC diamond sat around for someone to purchase for ROM testing or spares etc.
I couldnt find a specific forum that supports this form of selling on this site and I apologise if this breaks rules etc. But XDA was the first place I thought of before distributing this handset to other easier means for cash. I also hate ebay for this sort of selling too and it contains timewasters. This site does not.
It's an official O2 XDA Ignito (so not the dodgy back cover) that was sourced direct from O2 due to upgrades.
This phone has not been bought 2nd hand, I am the original owner from O2, nor has been locked or reported stolen.
Before I post pictures etc to prove working, the phone is still boxed within the original packagaing and contains all the supplied accessories which include:
Case (although slightly damaged from use)
USB Lead
Mains Charger
Brand new official HTC RC100 Remote Control Headset (Replacement supplied with handset)
Unused Official Screen Protector
CD and Manuals.
This handset was used by myself for 18 months, and comprised of around 8 months with the original O2 ROM and then cooked (with help from a friend)
with HardSPL Olinex 1.40 to just a few ROMs I've been dancing to and from, mainly the EnergyROMs, the GenY but its now got the Memo ROM flashed.
This sort of sale would be very ballpark, but im open to offers here at the moment. Its been sat around for a few months now and needs a good home.
Please PM me for offers or reply with any questions.
The phone box will be packaged in bubble wrap and brown paper and sent via Royal Mail Recorded delivery. P+P will be an extra £5 on top of the offered price.
Only spotted the marketplace at the top of the forum after posting this.
Apologies.
