So I have gotten my one free TomTom map and now I need some more maps. The only option seems to be purchasing the full $149 DVD version by mail? That is terrible, they should make city maps available for purchase and download at a reasonable price, like $10.00 per city or something. So is my only option to spend $149 and wait for them to ship me a DVD?
I just ordered, from Amazon, the US & Canada DVD for $92 plus shipping. Mind you it's used, but it's rated at very good by the seller who is an Amazon subsidiary. Unless the DVD is scratched, it should work fine. I'll take my chances and see.
That's another option for you.
Where did you guys get the software for TomTom? I looked on Amazon and it was $143 for the software plus maps.
He mentioned that he got it used from Amazon. If you look at product pages many times they also list sellers selling used items as well for various one-off prices.

I guess I was speaking more specifically regrading this post "gotten my one free TomTom map" -- I just wondered where they even got the one free map? It seems to insinuate that they got the software for free???

The kaiser comes with an applications CD with a 'taster' version of TomTom 6. Taster means a full version of the software and the right to download one city map. The other maps you have to pay for. They can be downloaded from the TomTom site. Some have reported that it is easy. I made a trial run - not having yet received my kaiser - and I found it to be doable but not staightforward.
I'll have to find out why I don't have my CD - thanks

Check out the unboxing video if you haven't already seen it.
http://mobilitysite.com/2007/09/htc-kaisertytn-ii-video-unboxing/
It shows all of the things that come in the 'official' retail package. Ours should all be like this one as as far as I can tell they are all coming from the UK right now.
I should be getting mine on Thursday and it is a wonder i have any fingernails or hair left ;-)
Maps only DVD
Guys, here's a link to maps only DVD on Amazon.
Hope this is what you're looking for.

I just bought a new Tilt, which really cleaned me out, seeing as I am not eligible for a contract renewal for 10 months...
Anyway, I have a 1GB microSD card, and TomTom for the USA is 900 or so MB. I don't travel all over the country very often, so is it possible to only install the maps for the east coast and save a couple hundred MB?
I'm curious with this as well. I need to get some of my 1gb back.
I saw that you could download local maps via the PLUS service. Not sure. I have a login, I will check and get back to you.
EDIT: Map store is still closed. Amazing...it's been a couple weeks!

I purchased Tomtom 6 on CD and when my PC is connected to my Tilt I can move whatever maps I wish to and from my 2gb memory card. The maps on the CD are split up into geographic areas (3 or 4 states together) or are available as individual state maps. Pretty easy to use and keep my memory card from getting too full.
i have seen on some sites that there are regional maps. i have installed currently a map for michigan, indiana, and ohio and it doesn't clock in nearly as big as the entire US map so it is much more microsd friendly
(i should mention that these sites cannot be linked to xda for reasons that i hope you guys understand hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)
internetadam4657's PM box is about to fill up!
be gentle guys!
all i can say is that the discussion of warez apps for the ppc platform is not allowed on this site so we shall leave it at that
just list the file name. anyone that knows can then get it, and no harm done

Instead of using a complete Ver. 675 US/Canada or Northern America map, you can use ver.650 state map. These individual map works well with Tomtom 6. For example, I am using California map with my Tomtom. What is the difference between V675 and 650? V675 is more update and POI.

@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?
4sale HTC S730

12 month old contract is running out (I am changing the company I am working for)- fully working with 2GB SD Card
VB 220€

Was bought in October 2007. There is still 1 year garantie on it till October 2008.
Sold for 284,38. Thanks
12 months old? It must be preproduction model!?
I think I've seen in other threads that some people have managed to activate AT&T Navigator on the Fuze. When I went to Programs\AT&T GPS\Get AT&T Navigator, it opened Opera to a page that told me my device was not recognized, and none of the links on that page led to one that mentioned the Fuze.
If you managed to activate AT&T Navigator, how did you manage to do it? TIA.
When I got my Fuze, they added the AT&T Navigator trial to my device, not sure maybe they only allow certain phones to download the software.
Never mind. The mods I had made to let Opera display full web sites instead of mobile versions apparently fooled the TeleNav software. I used PIE on the URL passed to Opera and downloaded the AT&T Navigator .cab file with no problem.
So is this At&t Navigator free?
Or is it just a free trial/Demo?
Also, is it free to use? as long as i have the unlimited internet package thats standard for the fuze? Is it better than Google Maps Mobile?
It's a 30 day trial and then it's $10 a month. Very good though...

As noted, $10/month after the 30-day free trial, or you can cancel and pay on a day-at-a-time basis for $4/day, if you only use it infrequently.
It's different from Google maps. It's like a car GPS unit, giving you voice prompts when you need to turn, and such. I haven't used it yet; I'm still waiting for the delivery of my windshield mount for the phone, which should come in the next day or two.
I would just buy On Course Navigator 8 for $125, it has all og the US & Canada and there is no subscription fee. That's equal to one year of AT&T Nav.

You can get it cheaper if you don't need a lot of storage on your microSD card; the version that comes on a 2GB card (leaves you a couple hundred MB free, I think) is only $65. (Unfortunately, you have to run it from the card they supply, you can't copy it to your own card, which is a dealbreaker for me. I already have an 8GB card that I bought for under $25, and buying their 8GB card with OCN8 on it costs $40 more than the 2GB-card version; ain't gonna happen.)
I must say, though, that all the reviews I've seen of OCN8 make it look very attractive, and if someone had a way of copying it from the 2GB card to my 8GB card, I'd almost certainly buy it.
This workaround doesn't work...
I tried opening the url in PIE and it still doesn't recognize my device. I am using ROMeOS. Any suggestions on how to download Telenav Navigator?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
Well I emailed Telenav to find out how to download...
their software specifically for the FUZE and their Support responded with this:
"Support is not made aware of potential future versions of TeleNav until the time of the versions' releases. Unfortunately, I do not have any answer for you as to whether or not we will be developing TeleNav for that or any other specific model of phone."
Too funny. I guess I will be canceling Telenav service soon since even they don't seem able to tell me how to download the Fuze version.
Try putting this url into PIE. It worked for me.

this worked perfect.
finally figured out how to add addresses and look up businesses on the web and synchronize them to my navigator's "Favorites". If anyone is interested here is the link: http://my.telenav.com
ive got the telenav and attnav versions that both of ya need. hit me up
I recently got a Touch Diamond and am using it without the data plan. I know this has been asked a bunch but I have yet to find a good definitive answer. What is the best way to get GPS without using the data plan?
I understand that TomTom and Garmin are probably the best ways to go, but I would like to do this as cheap as possible as I'm a grad student (therefore not a whole lot of disposable income) and likely won't be using it a ton (therefore can't justify spending much money).
Are there any good free (or very cheap) applications that would work with the internal GPS and give turn-by-turn directions without using data minutes?
If not, what do you guys think about TomTom Navigator 6? How out-of-date are the maps since Navigator 7 is out? I can get the Navigator 6 CD for about $30. Would this be a good route to go? Can you install Navigator 6 from the CD to the Diamond?
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks!!!
