I was thinking of going for one. They are only 149.
Should I just wait and forego? I have an 8525 that I upgraded to WM6 and and I just changed the case on it and it works like a champ, at least for now.)
You you guys think with the driver issues I should wait for the next new device or go for the refurb.

150 isnt bad for the device.. if ur into watching movies on your phone stick to 85..

I do use my slingbox and I watch movies and Star TreK TOS eppys.
I guess I better stick with it.
I can't believe they'd eff up that bad and screw up on the market base they established on the 8525.
DAYUM.
Do yo u know what the next device is?
where?
i am not thrilled with the driver situation, but my tilt is better for me in many ways than my old 8125...where can i pick up one for 149? my gf would love this as a bday gift.
150 !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i want it for 150...can i return it for a refurb please....
I bought my 8925 new for $125 after rebates. Had to sign up for a new AT&T plan though. Have to be a new AT&T customer.
Hey Xultar, come on over. Despite the driver fever I'm telling you flat out that the Kaiser is better than the 8525. I've used it for hours on end streaming my Slingboxes over WiFi and 3G without issue. I also play videos (encoded at 320x240 with bitrates under 500kps) that I've used with all my portable gear from Archos units to iPAQ's and they play just fine on the Kaiser as well.
I'd be more concerned with the lower volume on bluetooth ear pieces compared to the 8525, it's useable but a little irratating that it's not top notch.
The unit has been so stable that I've not needed to flash from the stock Kaiser rom, just using a bunch of cabs and Kaiser Tweak. The GPS is really an awesome addition, worth the trade-up alone in my book. I looked into insurance and it was more than $149 so when ATT had a Thanksgiving sale, I picked up a Tilt for $149 and keep it in the box as my insurance. If I do put it in service, I will flash it for sure, prolly to Sleuth's v1.1 as I like it the most, slim and solid.
If you do it, I'm betting that you will be happy.
ordered mine on ebay 2 days ago. Pretty reasonable price being from Canada
... is that 150 on a contract? I'm in Canada
newegg.com has it for cheap too.. 2yr contracts newegg's are BRAND NEW.. but u kno what refurbs arent bad.. 1yr warranty on them
That's about what I got mine for on sale, after rebate, & with a two-year contract.
I just don't know if I can. I'm really concerned about the driver issue and just keeping what I have working. I can't live without my slingbox or video Star Trek TOS eppys. Plus the bluetooth on the 8525 was to low for me. I couldn't imagine it being lower.
What is coming down the pike? Maybe I will go for it. I just need to think. I also need to find out how many upgrades I get a year. That may impact it as well.

Hi everyone!
I'm interested on buy this PDA, after a couple hours of search on the web I discover the alibaba(www.alibaba.com) it's also like ebay...So, i search on alibaba and found a lot of companies(most in china) solding HTC TyTN II.The company that maybe i choose to buy are Putian Hengwang Trade Co., Ltd.(http://hencan.en.alibaba.com/)there you will find a lot of mobile phones.I entered in contact with the sales manager and he told me the price of tytn II is $420 + $30 to send in Brazil.
Has anyone with some experience on buy products from chinaa?About this Company?Can I trust on her?Any information will be helpfull
I'm so crazy on buy the TyTN II, but my ded will not let me buy on expansys +-$800 + 60% of taxes
Thanks!!
Certainly does NOT look like a company I would trust.
I wouldn't trust that company... I mean, look at their "Products" section... they're selling shoes, jackets and handbags along with the phones and mp3 players. Don't get lured by a cheap price.
Don't do it, my friend bought a FAKE Samsung i718 from one of those companies (found on Alibaba)
well, i think think and think and i will buy htc tilt, its the same of tytn II but it doesn't have the frontal camera. on ebay i found +- $500,00. On the begining fo March I will put my hand on tilt!!!!
Thanks to asking my questions!!!!!!!!
Resist the temptation to buy the HTC's in China. There are too many copy-cat and "lost in production" items.
And do not forget that you do not buy a PSP or PMP if you want to use it for watching movies (untill a fix is out)
Good luck
afaik, HTC is still called Dopod here. I am working somewhere near Shanghai and none of my friend recognize the HTC on my kaiser until I told them it's same as Dopod.
Sure that you only want the TyTN II but not an at&t Tilt? You intend to make/receive a lot of video calls? If not, go ebay for Tilt and you'll save bunch of money over TyTN II. In additional, discuss w/ sellers if (s)he can declare it as a GIFT to void the import tax. 60% is highway robberries!
Funnies thought a bout China website.
Where the heck are Forty Thieves? Does it sell stuffs from thieves? That's really ridiculous name even though it's very popular in China and its CEO wants to beat google. Goodluck to another day-dreamer! LOL
Hey guys, I found this deal this morning on twitter and I figured you might find it interesting for those of you who don't have Netflix subs yet. If you sign up through this site http://studentrate.com/StudentRate/bu/get-bu-student-deals/Netflix-Student-Discounts--/0 they send you a $10 check, which makes your first month free. I think you might need to be a student with a .edu address to sign up but not sure. Enjoy!
thank you, worked for me.
Sweet ! I am currently on free trial so I guess i m just gonna cancel that and then sign up my boyfriend so it won t be the same name.. Thanks
niceee, thanks op
Netflix is already cheap as it is but with this deal it s a real bargain
wat is netflicks
I use Netflix to stream movies and TV shows on my PS3 but you can also have DVDs mailed to you if you want to. Cool thing is that you can use the same username and password on like 3 computers/systems so we are just sharing it with my siblings. dirt cheap in the end!

dont u have enuff garbage in your mind as it is ?
Netflix is way cheaper than cable especially when you split it with your roomates in college, I think this is a great deal
I wonder when my rebate is supposed to get here
So you get a $10 rebate which makes the 1st month free...so Netflix is only like $10 a month?? I spend $20-$30 a month renting movies ondemand.

Netflix has so many TV shows on demand it's awesome
Dexter!!!!
What about HBO shows? Can you get those through Netflix?
I was searching on Netflix to see what shows they have, they have Entourage and True Blood seasons so I'm guessing they'll have other HBO shows. I'm pumped.
They do have HBO shows. only thing about netflix is that sometimes they just take the shows off the streaming list and u have no idea. so it sucks if you re in the middle of watching a season
I watched an entire season of Lie to me this weekend... thanks netflix!
I got this deal and I have no complaints about Netflix so far

no, just to mess up with my friends, and to play this lovely ilomilo game.
@norgan: i got no credit card
I've got exactly the same problem
I'm 15 so I don't have a creditcard and my parents say they won't buy games for me because "I already have a xbox with Live Gold to play with, I don't need my phone to play games".
i just go a wii and no xbox, so i just can play the games on my phone ^^

Not sure bout your country but here we have prepaid visa, you go buy one with a certain amount on it and use it like a normal visa, we also have visa debit, which can be attched like a normal account that uses your funds but uses the visa network to process payments.
I am sure there will be some kind of solution for you. Some carriers also allow purchasing on your phone bill.

i live in germany. i didn't heard of this kind visa before. maybe i should contact my bank with this. thank you
Just hit the UK and Europe and it's pretty awesome, it has a lot of offer and since I usually illegally download my music, I no longer have to (I refuse to use iTunes, I know there are alternatives). This is great news and its about time too. What do my fellow Europeans think? Pricing is also more competitive than I imagined. Good job Google :good:
Note you can't buy anything yet but you can browse and see the pricing.
One other awesome thing to know, the Music Manager is now available on Linux!

I've been using it for a while, just hadn't had the ability to browse the store and buy stuff.
Single tracks look a bit expensive compared to the cost of the full album but I like the look of the album prices.
Similar artists had some weird suggestions, I eventually had it giving g Mark Owen>Debbie Harry>Victoria Beckham. Still a nice feature even if it did recommend Victoria Beckham.

I've been comparing Play Music to iTunes and Googles offering is much cheaper.
Single tracks on both iTunes and Play Music average at about £0.79 to £0.99 with the occasional iTunes song dipping to to £0.59 and peaking at £1.89. This is from what I've seen so far. Play Music is a lot more consistent.
Albums seem to be cheaper on Google Play, most of the albums I have checked seem to be about £1 to £2 cheaper. That's a huge saving if you by a lot of music. I anticipate to spend at least a hundred quid over the next week, buying all the music I pirated.
Wasn't play music supposed to release in Canada as well as Europe?

Google said Canada and Australia are coming later this year or early 2013.
I like it. Prices are ok, and encourage album sales, and play store is nice to browse.
Was expecting it it be 'meh'. May have to get Floyd dsom first as is just rude to buy anything else before it.

Have you compared to Amazon MP3? For the sort of music I buy amazon is consistently cheaper and offers the same cloud playback functionality and tune matching (although you have to pay £20 a year for a lot of tune matching).
Another potential benefit of buying from Amazon is you can download the tracks, then upload them to Google Music and enjoy the (more reliable) cloud streaming
Yay finally they release it to the UK.
With regards to your Amazon questions, Amazon sells tracks cheaper however buying the whole album is usually about £0.50 - £1.00 cheaper from Play Music.
I think it does depend on the sort of thing you buy, every album I looked at was cheaper on amazon also but I guess we might have different tastes!
Worth shopping around either way, they both support matching music so can just upload to your cloud streamer of choice.

Yes and I think a price matching script would be in order from someone.
I have a problem with the new UK service, suspect its down to my account being previously activating via proxy to allow me to access my music account and upload music for streaming some months before the service went live here in the UK. I cannot now purchase anything from the site, it takes me from the UK site in £GBP to the US site to complete the transaction in US$ and then won't accept my UK credit card or UK activated Google Wallet balance.
I've contacted Google support and their answer today is that "I must be a US customer to buy music..." clearly the support agent doesn't know his arse from his elbow
Anyone else got this issue and worked out how to solve it? I've got over 5000 tracks uploaded and so would not want to lose them if I had to create a new account.
Would also add... I'm not getting the 'music match' service... music is still being uploaded track by track (music manager version 1.0.51.1573)... only 17k tracks to go to my limit!!

Google Music Explorer is simply amazing, and a game changer. Apple fanboys look on in disappointment when I showed them it at work...

OK so I fixed this - turns out my US credit card had been changed to default somehow?
Still not seeing the 'Music Match' service - has anyone got this working?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Been looking for that.. a lot of the mp3s I have are a bit ropey and music match is ideal for sprucing them up. I can only find the standard upload service.
Is anyone else having issues launching the Music Manager app on OSX? It doesn't do anything...
South America??
