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
My LTE Speedtest Results in San Antonio
Wow. Nice speed there. I'll have to take a drive to San Antonio this weekend just to mess around with my phone lol.
The highest I have seen with a phone in Dallas is 46/14 and with the USB dongle 46/24.
I am more impressed with the latency. It usually runs ~55ms. That really blows UMTS out of the water and makes web pages load *much* faster.
I got some decent speeds in Dallas. Including a consistent 25 and 26 up with one and 2 bars as well as 45 up a few times on full bars.

Gotta love living in the 210!!
LoL I just realized something. Everyone posting in here is some where in Texas.
Yah for some reason they love to deploy it in Texas which I have no idea why? You would think you would deploy this in the bigger cities first. I don't see why Washington D.C., etc. wouldn't be a top priority.

Just a shot in the dark here but... Would you want to create a new product that may or may not work 100% out of the gate in a large or small city?
If they have problems in the beginning, it's much less newsworthy in San Antonio than say New York City.
Make sense if you think about it.
I have created and launched technical products before and I can tell you that the last thing I wanted to do is sell it to a huge customer right out of the gate. Better to mess up in the small cities with fewer customers than to have an Epic fail in a large city.

Oh and I think it might have a little to do with the fact that their headquarters are here in Texas (Dallas) and lots of corporate operations still here in San Antonio.

WOW!!! Wish I had LTE here... I've been trying to find a roll out schedule for the rest of the country but can only find select cities (all large). Tell me... is your data consistent on LTE? I often try to use data (browser, speed test, insert other random app here) and get NO data connection at all... I have manually put in a second APN which seems to help but it's flaky at best.
Thanx

I've seen my connection drop to hspa+ maybe twice since Monday when I got the phone and even that was only for a moment. So yes the speeds are incredibly consistent. From what I understand, Dallas' lte covers a 240 mile radius.

Do you happen to know where you found this info? I'm looking for something similar for the Atlanta area but can't find it. I know LTE is working about 25 miles north of the city but that's all I know for now.

I was told by a rep at the AT&T store. I was glad I got to talk to him because most of the time I deal with idiots there. He seemed to know his stuff.
Hey folks,
The internet-deprived and poor population of the isolated island of St Helena in the South Atlantic (a British overseas territory) have a unique opportunity to finally get their 10 MBit/s satellite link (shared by 4,000 people) replace by one of the fastest submarine optic fibre cables, the South Atlantic Express.
Allthough the UK government recently approved the construction of an airport for nearly £ 250 million in order to establish high-spending tourism on the island and so make the island self-sustaining there is no commitment to get this cable to the island.
But how should they get tourists on the island if they even can't upload a simple YouTube video? How should hotels confirm bookings or answer calls when internet access and international telephone service frequently fails due to sun outages? How should you explain high-spending tourists that they can't call home or get their emails?
Without a working telecommuncation infrastructure the investment in an airport for nearly £ 250 million is odd.
Since without proper internet access St Helenians can't get their voice heard on the web I thought I should ask you for your solidarity with these isolated people. They will only get broadband if the global online community solidarizes with them.
So I would kindly ask you to visit our website at http://www.connectsthelena.org/ and to support our initiative that has been started yesterday! This is a unique chance. It is highly unlikely another submarine cable to come anywhere near the island for the next decades.
Thanks for your attention!
I am so sorry to hear that, i voted.I hope everthing will goes will.
10 isn't "fast" these days.

Now if in my neighborhood I can get internet faster than 10MB/s? I'm not trying to make some people feel bad, but that is slow for a city like NYC, and overall in the US the internet is slow, where in London lets say, half the city has 10 GBps internet.

It's around 1.25 MB/s, so average DSL speeds you get here in the City
Indeed 4,000 people share 10 MBit/s, which converts into 2,5 KBit/s per capita (of course they won't all use the internet simultaneously, but anyway it's extremly slow with internatioanl data rates usually being in the two digit kbit/s range).
Furthermore an ADSL-subscription with 3GB of traffic included and 384 KBit/s downstream bandwidth costs £120/month (US$ 185/€140).
And even this expensive and slow service is frequently interrupted by sun outages caused by solar flares, for which the involved satellite (Intelsat 707) seems to be very prone due to its age - it was launched in 1996 with a predicted lifespan of 11 years, so by now it has exceeded its lifetime already by 5 years.
I know there are a number of speed test threads for the Nexus 4 but I want this one to be specifically for mobilicity and wind customers.
I have mobilicity's fake 4g premium data.. network type is set to lte/gsm/CDMA auto
Here are 7 test results with a peak of 10mbps down anyone on wind or Mobilicity will know that the speeds are unheard of.
These tests show an average speed of around 8 Mb but typical speeds are generally much closer to the 3.5 to 4 MB range.

Where in Mississauga did you take these speeds? I'm so thrilled.
Near heartland and about 1 km away from a newly erected tower (Terry fox and eglinton).
Keep in mind these were taken on a Saturday morning between 10-1130 (minimal congestion)

Wind doesn't have a great network, but when you pay $29 a month for unlimited everything you don't expect lightning quick download speeds. I was with them for awhile but I had to switch back to Rogers for reliability purposes. Still, those are good speeds for wind. Hopefully they continue to improve their network.

i dont know if they changed it, but when i had my galaxy nexus before nov 13, i was on basic data and i couldnt get more than 2 mbps, but i did get around 800kbps upload,
i wonder if got the fast speeds for basic data users too now, if not im going to switch to premium data
I managed to get 12 mbps down on wind at major mac and weston thats using Htc One S

I wouldn't feel sorry for me. As stated above, I pay $24.25/month for my BTS plan with unlimited local calling, unlimited text and unlimited data.
Can you find me a comparable plan in the States?
Wind here on HMP (no premium data) $45 Unlimited everything taxes in
3MBPS is my max DL. Home and office have towers within 1km> radius. Good enough to stream Netflix and I can watch Walking Dead with no pixelation. I exceed 5GB of data per month and would love to have 10MBPS but for extra $10 no way. The speed now is good enough for me. It's bearable.
I'm on mobilicity on the BTS (BACK TO SCHOOL PLAN), and I always get at least 1.5 - 2Mbps, (On my lg optimus one), the data's not that great but I love having unlimited everything. Can't wait to get a nexus 4.

Let's not forget the coverage is pretty limited and the network is largely hit or miss.
To the OP, I think you are one of the first people I've seen with actual HSPA+ speeds on Mobi with their premium add-on. On the other hand, having to pay an extra $20 for that add-on kinda ruins the low-price idea of Mobi in my opinion.
To address multiple posts keep in mind that mobile is city is no contract. There is no denying that coverage is shoddy but at 40/month with no lock in and unlimited everything I'm not complaining.
To the previous poster: I actually only pay 40 dollars a month including the premium. I was actually on the friends and family plan for 35 dollars and in order to get the premium data I had to switch to 1 of the new plans which pissed me off.
I got in touch with Stewart Lyons and he personally saw to it that I got what I wanted. Ended up getting the new 50 percent off plans with everything I currently have plus extra roaming minutes and premium data for 5 dollars more than what I was previously paying.
All that said though the speeds are not consistent and I would really love to have 20 + MB/s... not willing to switch to one if the big 3 on a three year contract for that.

LOL that's it? Everything is so F-ing [email protected] here in Canada we're pathetic to be considered one of the top cities to live in the world. We can't even produce an Octopus card for our public transit system. How about capping our Internet? I could go on and on.
I'd still choose to live here over the US though (well, IF I really had to move to the US I'd move to Hawaii).

If you don't travel much then it doesn't matter.
the most i got was 8mbs, what is the best setting for hspa+, right now i keep it as cdma/gsm auto, to the OP you put lte/cdma/gsm, when LTE isnt supported whats the point
Yea I pretty much can't argue with that.
To previous post there really is no point I just do it on the off chance that it picks up layaway frequency and boosts my dbm.
The fact that I have an LTE microsim just makes it intuitive for me to want to keep it on that setting you never know what impact it may or may not have.

It's really frustrating when Mobilicity caps my $600 Note 2 at 2 mbps. $25 is a great deal though.
Hey guys, have this on preorder from Three, black version which is end of April for them (on one hand good as my O2 contract doesn't end until then, on the other bad cos SO SEXY!)
I just wanna clarify something, which I apologise if it's a stupid question - but I want this to be future proof. I know there is talk of some variants of the HTC One with no LTE; firstly, is this even true? And secondly, if true, is the Three network version an LTE variant?

The phone supports LTE (4G) for the UK. In the US there is an alternative 4G technology like Sprint use, WiMAX. But Three won't have LTE till late this year. In the meantime you can use DC-HSDPA (dual channel HSDPA) which gets you close to those speeds anyway. Three have a good part of their networking supporting DC-HSDPA
Beauty is three will upgrade you to 4g for free and it will be unlimited data unlike the rest
I get 18mb at present with my note one which is 8gb faster than my broadband !
Three represent excellent value for money I've been with them since they started they have improved their call centre and I would never move to anyone else
Don't think about it do it

Great! Exactly what I was expecting tbh, just wanted to check I wasn't being conned with a cheap variant
And yeah, their Ultrafast thing seems pretty cool until their 4G comes on, and one of my reasons for moving to them was that they said they won't charge more, and their all you can eat data!
EDIT - Query:
Weird query, for Three, their delivery estimate is end of April. So let's say 30th April. Now, I want to port my existing number from O2 - no problem, I know how to arrange all that.
So here is where I'm less sure. My current O2 contract ends on 27th April, i.e. just before I might get the new phone. So, will my PAC code remain valid after I go out of contract with O2? Will I have to keep with O2 and take out a pay and go or month to month just to hold onto the number?

presume your going for the black variant ? silver is available either now or in a week
have you checked coverage for 3 .. they cover 97% of the country just make sure your not in the 3 percent !
When they started years ago they were horrendous but they have got better and better .. you will have unlimited internet, no throttling and free 4g when it goes live .. I use around 9gb per month and it costs me £36 with all my other allowances ..

They certainly have the most competitive prices and value for money, but be 100% SURE you are not the 3%(I am) as it is a pain the the rear to cancel your contract and you will have some charges(ie minutes for calls etc). I must say that their customer service has been really good every time we called them. I am very close to an aerial (less than a mile), but because(I assume) I am on the ground floor, at a funny angle, I struggle to get a signal. I had no issues on Symbian phones(Nokias) however since the wife and I changed over to Android in 2010 I have never had the same signal(not blaming Android) just seems an odd coincidence. I wish they were ok as I really like the idea of no premium for 4G. Considering going with them anyway for the 4G later in the year.

The problem with Three is the lack of 2G fallback. 2G gets into those hard to reach places better than 3G. Three's coverage value of 97% is outdoor coverage. The reality on indoor is considerably worse. In terms of data deals, nothing comes close to Three's plans, but it will always suffer as the worst coverage network which is a real shame. For home use, Three do have their home signal box which gives you a perfect signal around your home but uses your broadband connection to do so. I use one.
