Interesting thing also is that it comes with Co-pilot Live and not TomTom
Picked up mine today....very happy with it.
It comes with Co-pilot live V7 which is great, also full Car kit, Mount and holder which is made in Germany...looks the same as the brodit....and included is also the car charger.
U guys get a lot of things in the box. Enjoy ur Phone
Yeah...I am really pleased with it. I had a Universal before and loved that but it was just to big, also I could never get it fully compatible with the 3 network. I was worried about going from a VGA screen to QVGA....but I have already got use to it.
Copilot Live 7.0 issues
Guinevere,
I've purchased the HTC TYTN II from Three and absolutely love it!
just wondering if you had problems with Copilot Live 7? It seems that this version does not let you add custom POI's to its database. Also, the Safety Camera option is greyed out.
This same problem occurs on the desktop version as well (Copilot Central).
Any thoughts? Thanks!
How's Copilot 7? I haven't seen/used it since 5. It used to work great =)
When it comes to bundled goodies, North America really sucks. Luckily I still have family in Hong Kong and getting them to buy stuff there for me works out nicely.
i thought that htc had a contract with tomtom.
1099 is that with a full version of copilot?
a little off topic here but i was browsing the 3 website and trying to figure out what you guys pay for your wireless, 35 cents for 30s so with the 49 dollar plan you get 70 mins? am i understanding that right?
$29 for 1GB wow do you guys just get the cheap 29 cap and use msn with a data plan?
Well apparently in Australia, HTC's contract is with Copilot.
The Copilot Live 7 is a full version, with a few limitations as I previously pointed out (you can't update safety cameras or POIs).
Copilot Live 7 has a very much improved interface from version 6. It looks very pretty and very snappy in performance. It seemed to have learned from TomTom in terms of it's ease of use and its overall GPS experience.
neotekz, answering your questions about the 3 Network, I think you've misread it. Those price plans are what they call "Caps", meaning once you reach a certain amount of spend, you don't pay anymore till a certain allowed limit. The $29 Cap plan gives you a $120 spend limit, and another extra $70 for calls between 3 customers. So in theory, you get $190 to spend a month, which is pretty good deal. The higher the cap, the more credit you get.
The Data plans are separate. They start from $3 a month...
Excellent Value
That is a great deal. Stores here are charging $1200 and delivery end of Nov.
Can you give details of the ROM? Thanx
Didn't see this one coming. Go to amazon.com/cloudplayer
To summarize: Amazon did what Google's been planning to do for a while now.
Amazon uploads your music to the cloud and allows you to stream it to any device (logged in, of course) through their player. The first 5GB are free, 20GB is $20 a year, 100GB is $100 etc. From there, you can even choose to download the music to your SD.
Is anyone else as impressed as I am?
I'm also impressed. Never expected this from Amazon since I haven't read any rumors about it unlike with Google's and Apple's service.
The other feature that I believe is awesome is that any Amazon music purchase you make is automatically stored on your cloud account for free (doesn't use up your storage). So you don't really have to worry about backing up the music on multiple drives like you have to with iTunes purchases.
I already use Subsonic, but will probably be using this feature whenever I buy music from them.
Yah that back up is cool wish old purchases were backed up though.

All that's left now is for Amazon to clean up the music player a bit more. You can tell they put some amount of thought into the design (and took a few cues from the iOS music player) but IMO it could use a little polish.
Still, great work by Amazon. They stepped their game up, again.
This is amazing but it's only usable within the us

Its a fantastic service. I've filled up my 5gb quota already. If you buy a full album from amazon from now between December 31 you will get 20GB storage for free
You can buy this "album" (1 song for 69 CENTS) and get the 20gigs for a year. I did it.

I have some kind of discount show up on my receipt, so I actually only paid 39 CENTS lol.

Worth it. Just barely though, as the fact that it's glee raises the mental cost a little bit
Amazon is currently on a big time lawsuit against the big guys at Hollywood and DMA copywright people, it was all over the news yesterday
if they fall through, then this can backfire as a new weapon/ammo for the DMA people to crack down on MP3 music collections
so, IMO i'll wait until the dust settles before signing up for the account with Amazon
there are plenty of other good ones like mSpot and CX and much more for cloud music streaming
and there are even those you can host in your own home computer, as mentioned in the other topic
... you know... just us typical paranoids about the feds spying on us
http://www.imwatch.it/us-en/smartwatch/color_alu/gallery checkout this watch..you can pair it to your phone via Bluetooth an play apps games text an calls! Music port. 4gb ..android on it..350 dollars..I'm so tempted. Just wondering if anyone has seen this!

i think i well go with meta-watch
I'd love to walk around with this watch, a Nexus 7, and Project Glass
Pebble Watch
This one got alot of buzz surrounding it's Kickstarter campaign. They were looking to raise $100,000 and ended up with over $10 million.
http://getpebble.com
There are over 68,000 pre-orders so you might be waiting awhile
They said they are looking to ramp up production to 15,000 per week sometime after September.
How could you text via this watch? Lol
I was thinking of picking up a Nano & watchband, I don't really see myself playing games on a little phone, especially for that price range, the nanos are 100? + $50 watch band = same concept?

I preordered this in January (right after CES) and they were supposed to ship in April. April came and went and imwatch kept pushing the ship dates back and back and without any word of why the delay. I requested a refund and that alone took 15 business days to process. I even called Italy long distance (using google voice) and they STILL didn't do anything correctly. Really bad customer service. I am a pebble backer Waterproof ftw IMO. :highfive:
And I have seen ONE person get their i'm watch. That's very suspect, because if the stated 300 "beta" users were supposed to get their im watches, I haven't heard or seen any youtube vids of any sort.
i just bought the motorola motoactv to sync to my phone after motorola announced a @100 price drop. for $200, its a 16gb smart watch that will read facebook updates, sms, allow you to answer calls (you can sync a bluetooth headset or use a wired headset on the watch itself), has GPS tracking, accelerometer. however, its more of a fitness oriented watch with limited customisability, and most existing apps are fitness related.
the sony mn2 smartwatch is cheaper, but the screen isnt as good as the motorola, and it doesnt have any notable storage options. the sony smartwatch is nothing more than a mere digital watch when its not sync'd to the device, as all the apps are just widgets to read stuff from your android device. the advantage is that its much more customisable than the motorola.
So I pre-order the I’m Watch 11/2011 (over a year ago), and I’m still waiting for it. I opened a trouble call to get an update and got the following answer within 24 hrs.
Dear Customer,
we have started and will proceed with the deliveries in chronological order up until the 15th of September.
Once your order will near the shipping, the tracking number will be available to follow its schedule and have a more precise date.
The discount will be provided to you shortly before the shipping.Our administration still has to evaluate whether to provide it via bank transfer or on the credit card used for the payment if possible.
Best regards,
i'm Staff

Now if they would ship my watch that would be even better!!!
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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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??
So I'm heading over to Walmart to get a Chromecast.
I want root, eventually. Is it possible to use it out of the box without automatically updating and losing rootability?
you will loose root ability they just updated to a newer version because there was a new root method disclosed recently. so leave it unplugged.
@BurnOmatic is correct....
Better order up the things you need to root it before you power it up or you might get updated and lose the ability to root it after that.
