I don't think any of them come with a case. I find that strange seeing as all previous HTC Touch models came with a carry case and I find this one to be more prone to fingerprint markings, etc because of its shiny case so I would've expected it to come with a carry case/cleaning thingie
confirmed that's no case but with screen protector. (Malaysia)

Maybe they want users to choose between a normal case and that special cleaning case with microfibres. Some people would undoubtedly complain if they were forced to pay a little more to get a cheap case that they don't want.
So are there any nice cases available already (Vaja... etc.)?
Strangely there isnt a user manual that comes with the sales package. Only a quick start mini booklet. anyone facing this problem? (Malaysia)

You can find the [VERY DETAILED] user manual on one of the two CDs in the box (under the glossy flat top cover)
I see. So the manual is in a PDF format and not a physical copy right?

Yes, just a PDF.
Well.. How do ya think HTC managed to have a lower starting price than the Cruise when it first launched?
It's all abt cutting costs...
No case, no manual, no car kit.. No cam/voice commander buttons, smaller batt, no microSD slot..

A few corrections:
- With the Cruise you had the option of buying it with or without car kit. In the local market here, the starting price for the Cruise without car kit and the Diamond is exactly the same
- No manual. My Cruise also came with a soft copy of the manual- no printed manual.
- No MicroSD slot but you have 4GB internal memory which must have cost more to make then the Cruise internal memory
- 3D drivers (even if they exist but are not working on the Cruise) as well as more development costs for the interface considering the Cruise has exactly the same interface as older HTC phones
- If you get down to detail, the box of the Diamond probably cost more to make because its shape is unique and not off the HTC mass production line seeing as the Cruise, Dual, Elf, TyTn II and others all have the same form factor of the cardboard box

Well bro.. I totally agree with your statements.
We in singapore didn't have a choice to get the Cruise without the car kit. And if I'm not wrong.. I did get the full manual booklet. Probably catered to different markets.
I can assure you that there is cost down on the Diamond production compared to the Cruise... it's just that it's been done VERY nicely - thats good work on HTC. Thats how the electronics industry survive... Cost cutting. I used to be consumer electronics industry.. so I'm pretty sure of it
Hows Dubai btw? Was thinking of migrating there... too crowded here in SG.
From Hong Kong, Diamons Shaped box: No case, screen protector.
I might be visiting singapore sometime soon.
I am looking for the 4 in 1 cable to be used with my dopod u1000.
Anyone knows the best place in singapore where i can have the best chance of finding a used 4 in 1 cable for u1000?
I really love the dopod u1000 and i use it together with my k800 mobile.
I am quite satisfied using the pocket pc functions without the phone function at the moment. The big screen is simply excellent for ebook reading, surfing the net and writing notes or reflections.
I also realized that with the proper softwares, u1000 can become an even a better phone than my normal sony ericsson k800.
It can be used to automatically send sms replies to callers when i am busy. (with k800, i can't automatically send sms replies to callers)
It can be used to voice dial phone numbers through bluetooth headset (with k800, i cannot dial phone numbers. I can only create voice tags for an existing contact and dial that contact.)
Although i love the u1000 very much, i am having a hard time to let go of my old Dell axim x51v. The Axim was my favourite pocket pc for a long time and the u1000 is the only worthy replacement of my axim 51v.
Ask the guys in www.ppcsg.com. They should be able to tell you where to go. The most popular place has been the Funan centre and Sim Lim Square, but that may be only for the device. Not sure about the cable itself.
4 in 1 cable
Thanks eaglesteve, I will check with these 2 places. By the way, i am a great fan of everything you have written about the u1000. I have learned a lot by reading your reviews and i find it easy to agree with many things you said. Thanks for sharing your experiences about pocket pcs.
With the Axim, i was rather adventurous with unofficial roms. One of the best rom for the axim was in fact created by a russian programmer that goes by the name, "Football." His rom made wonders out of the axim.
I am sure there are also great unofficial roms for the u1000. Although i do not have the courage yet to try any yet but i am rather interested with your experiences and reviews on the few unofficial roms available. Which rom are you using or have used by the way?
no 4 in 1 cable in funan, singapore
Came back from singapore. walked the whole of funan it mall. a few shops carry the u1000 but no one has the 4 in 1 cable in their stocks. I may be wrong but i felt that the retailers there were not much in touch about what pocket pc lovers need. I am not just talking about the u1000 but other range of pocket pcs as well. maybe they need to read up articles on forums like this one a bit.
Why not just bite the bullet and order it from Expansys.
I ordered it on a Monday and had it Tuesday am.
4 in 1 cable
Yes, i was thinking of doing just that. i have also found some external chargers that might work with my dopod u1000.
hey, i noticed that you too like me have moved from the Dell axim x51v to the advantage htc. It seems that those who appreciate the Axim will also most likely be able to appreciate the Advantage (dopod u1000).
I am supposed to sell my axim to earn back some money. at least that was what i told my wife i would do when i bought my u1000. But until now i am kind of reluctant to do that. The axim was such a fabulous device especially with the unofficial wm6.1 rom update from a russian developer "football."
TV out from 4 in 1 lead
Hi all,
While on the subject of 4 in 1 leads, does anyone know if any of the outputs will play sound as well as video from these leads. I got video only working off the yellow av plug. not tried the others yet

as far as i know, it is meant for shwing slide presentations so you get only the pictures. If you want the sound, you will have to get a cable that connects to the ear phone socket at the side of the Advantage (u1000).
The Axim i had works this way.
Maybe a silly question but are there any alternatives to the 4 in 1 cable... I just want a simple direct htc to usb cable.
Thanks
Hi there cphilip,I too have a Axim50V around and am using it as a multi-dictionary (English,Chinese,French,German)may I know where I can get the up

Hi nor11wan,
Yes, dell axm is really a great pocketpc. I have been using football, lenny L11 and now Makuu A09 VOIP gold found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439586
Unfortunately, I have not been following up on axim 50. I think it is possible that football might have produced something for the dell axim 50. Hope you can find it.
Hi everybody. Few days ago I`ve groved up to buy HTC s-730, after some time of wondering.
But - here is the flop - it dissapeared of all the internet shops in Poland, also from allegro - polish web auctions. HTC polish dealers say, that they will not distribute it anymore. But it`s even not present at ebay.com. Do You know what happened?
I can only guess: HTC also makes S730 under different brand and probably that is the main reason for availability problem. Soon will be released Touch Pro (which is modified Diamond with qwerty keyboard) and they stop production of S730. I own S730 and now I regret a bit that I bought smartphone without gps instead of touchscreen model with gps.

It should have had GPS since the pre prod. model's all did, which is why I bought mine. I am looking to dump it later in the year when the Touch Pro hits the US, I wouldnt mind full 3G for that upgraded phone but I will end up importing it if the carriers gimp the phone like they usually do.
I could see them halting production and distribution of the S730 around a year after its release with all the better handsets they are putting out now. I hope to be able to sell mine when the time comes...who knows.
Now everthing is clear why S730 vanished from shops - S740 is coming soon I wonder when HTC re-think its policy about existing clients: "No support, just buy newer device".
Would be nice to have some support, I do not like the new S740 at all. I am looking to jump on the Touch Pro when it hits ATT if its not gimped too much. School and work are starting to tax my poor little edge connection. That and I am bitter that they cut so much from our phones which are fully advertised in the new version...
what's the best, cheapest replacement for the TyTN II?
-don't need GPS
-don't need wi-fi
-don't need good camera
-**DO NOT NEED pull out keyboard.
so far the pharos is looking good, any suggestions? (i plan to unlock so i can use with att)
(broke my tilt, and cant afford a replacement of $400)
thanks!!
how about the Elf or Elfin?

That's what i was thinking as well. If you don't need a Pocket PC, then just go for a Smartphone which is usually cheaper.
Btw, what part of the Tilt broke?
i just want a big screen with touch capabilities, and simple is the word here..just really sick of sliders and want a candybar that doesnt look like a blackberry/motorola Q/etc
-btw my tilt wont charge the battery after i fixed the redlight issue.. tried with different batteries and chargers
also is the elf just the HTC touch, but only able to be used with ATT (as the touch cannot i think)? would the majority of ROMS from the Touch work on elf? sorry for so many questions !
Elf = Touch
Elfin = Touch Enhanced

Unless you bought the Tilt from the first day it was out, you should still have warranty on it so have you tried calling them at 1800-801-1101 and asking for a replacement?
already did, but the sticker on the back is pink from when i tried to clean the metal prongs. att said this was "water damage" and said they couldnt replace it.

Get an iphone
haha, actually that'd be my overall choice over even the tilt, but i cant afford the $700 over two years that i need to pay in internet usage. i can honestly say i've never had the need or want to ever use the internet away from my laptop.
Why not have a shop repair the Tilt?

I use the internet often while on the move. Sometimes it's just for receiving or sending emails. I guess you don't often travel on public transport or you'd find mobile internet tremendously valuable in terms of journey planning.
As far as your Tilt is concerned, even if you cant get it covered under the warranty, there's still a good chance a phone repair shop or HTCs repair centre could resurect it for you at a moderate cost and often they only charge a small fee to find out an estimated cost of repair. In short, not much to lose but potentially much (in savings) to gain.
Why dont you buy a wizard you can pick them up pretty cheap and they will do almost everything the tilt can do.

well, i'm in college and maybe send one email every two weeks, furthest i go is the furthest bar which is 15 minutes walking distance haha .
*Where can i send my tilt to get it fixed exactly, is there an address or website I can go to? I left my car at home while i'm at school so driving is not an option..
hi.
someone might call me a heretic, but if You look for something really cheap and if it's got to be fairly simple, then nokia N70 is the nice choice if You can live w/o winmo and touchscreen.
pros:
price, candybar, camera (nice pictures and video far better from kaiser), loads of apps/games (believe me or not, but it can emulate gba almost perfectly on it's 200 mhz cpu), fm radio, price?
cons:
no touchscreen, no wm (hm... I wonder if that's something bad...)
otherwise I would say: wizard or hermes

HTC Touch HD - largest touchscreen HTC do.
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=64790
It does however have a 5MP camera fitted to it...
Another option is the iphone3g
id rather not have a qwerty keyboard, pointless if you have touchscreen to me. i can upgrade in march/april i think, so if i cant fix my tilt i'll just part it for $50-80, sell my n93 for $125, and use that to buy a phone that'll last me until then.. either a n73, elf 3452, sony k790... i have no idea. everything would be much better if my tilt could be fixed!!

How about starting at www.htc.com and following that through - thats how I found the repair centres address here in the UK. You'll need to phone up and book it in with them first though.

I wasnt aware the new Touch HD had a qwerty keyboard or in fact any keyboard, will have to double check.
Hey, my eternal search for a new phone has finally brought me here. Anyway, i've got an offer of a (used, unlocked) HTC Diamond for £115 delivered. Should i go for it? Seems in reasonably good nick:
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1089.jpg
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1092.jpg
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1094.jpg
and it comes with Tomtom Europe. Although a new T-Mobile Pulse (3.5" Android phone, a few 'corners cut' if you know what i mean) is only £150 and a TG01 (4.1" WinMo Snapdragon device) is £160. Then you start getting onto stuff like a used Magic or a new HTC Tattoo or Touch2 but they're not really the best value for money.
So what do you think, Diamond or other? Cheers.
help
there are a few things to be careful of with the diamond problems that you may not notice until you have used it for a while
1. camera often breaks just don't load sometimes
2. they develop battery problems drains way to fast
3. wifi connection problems
if you can use the phone for a day or 2 before buying it would help
ps. has it got the original charger???????
It's on Amazon marketplace so i can't really use it before hand... the actual product description is:
Unlocked, boxed, general wear and tear, phone in good working order. Comes with tomtom europe pre-installed, original charger, in car charger, car windscreen mount, 3.5 headphones adaptor, usb battery charger.
