Backpack Availability: Due Wednesday 31st March - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108741
I see Expansys are now saying 31st of March for the Backpack rather than the constantly moving 40 days...
Anyone used one yet / got one earlier somewhere else?
They say 30th of April for the i-mate backpack not sure why that should take a month longer and cost an extra £3!
Jamie

Yes
I got one from bluetrade couple of days ago

What is bluetrade's URL?
Have you tried the video out yet? Does it work with media player as well as power point viewer?
Thanks
Jamie

yes work fine with powerpoint and other appli. Also with a batt 600mh and a Cf slot
Nice add on
good luck

Any chance of a mini review FL 9500
I am waiting to purchase an XDA II until I know how useful the backpack will be:
Mainly - can it play fullscreen media files on a TV?
Can Nydot be used with the output onto a monitor?
Will the CF accept microdrives?
How does the resolution change - ie is there software included?
A mini review as I believe you are the first owner on the forums would be appreciated by all.
Thanks
Jayman

It can be used to see divx in the TV?

As for the Expansys dates, I wouldn't put too much stock in any arrival date that is the first day of the month or the last. They probably don't know and are just guessing. The first or last day of a month is a convenient date to slap in there

"Unofficial" release date for iMate PDA2 announced

Although Expansys is not an "official" iMATE site, they are the only ones to have announced a definitive date for the first shipments of the iMATE PDA2. For UK, it appears they will be shipping June 30. For USA customers, they will be shipping July 3. PDA2 now also appears listed as one of the official products on the clubimate site (under products tab).
it doesn't have Windows 2005 tho... just the second edition
What's the difference between PDA2 and XDA IIi?
Fo what I can see XDAIIi is better.
Another supplier...
Expansys has now changed to getting the thing on June 30th...and we have http://www.extrafone.com/products.asp?partno=IM-PDA2

better than Qtek9090/pda2k?
Hey guys,
I have been limping along with my much-scratched and greatly accursed Qtek 9090.
I never use the built in keyboard (BT stowaway is the answer), the camera is pants and the phone is like talking through a sock.
minimum 5 soft resets per day.
Otherwise, very happy...
However, am under the impression that the PDA2 is a far better bit of kit (albeit not quad band; true? if so.... why??)
What's the answer? Can I get either of them up to WM2005 (when you boffins get it working). Or do I (gasp) go back to the Ipaq...?
All I want is a phone that works, satnav that doesn't hang, bluetooth that doesn't need resetting, Wifi and GPRS that work anywhere in the world, an MP3 player worth buying that 2gig SD card for, A headphone jack I can put my senheisers into (and get bloody stereo out of) bundled in a system that doesn't look like I have a gideon bible in my pocket.
Glad I got that off my chest.
Its coming home!
Guys/ Gals...
Expansys have just sent mine out
The 30th of June was just a guess from the looks of it.

Caller ID
Kieron,
It's probably a long shot, but if you happen to have a jabra bt800 headset, let me know if the caller ID works with the PDA2. I have an original IMATE and am VERY tempted to get the PDA2 from expansys (now shipping), but $779 is not something I like to "throw around"...
Thanks!

Hey Guys
I have an issue with my g900 in that the USB port is getting worse, in fact today I have to prop the cable/tension it a bit to enable it to charge and its getting worse by the hour.
Now, I plan to upgrade to a Samsung I900 in two weeks when my mate gets back from Hong Kong sadly though, the G900 won't last that long - it'll be lucky to last the today!
As I am a massive mobile word/excel/pop3/push email/Internet Sharing (must do 3g, can live without HSDPA for two weeks) user for work I need a cheap as chips phone that can do the above (off contract). Not really bothered about any of the other flashy stuff like GPS etc....
Can you recommend one?
edit: i need to be able to mail order it today
i have a Tytn 1, the orginal Hymes
and Imate 6150 for sale.
both are used. how much u willing to pay?
I have a tytn in a draw (somewhere ...). It has the usual HTC reliability issues..... so nothing.
I-Mate/Other. Thanks for the offer Turns out my friend is going to Singapore next week so I can get him to get me an Omnia. Thanks anyway and good luck selling them

Anyone here get their TV-Out Cables yet?

It limits you to 4 options, Powerpoint, Internet, Youtube.. and something I forget.
But can we get it to display anything we want?
Btw it's so cool.
Oh well that's a bit useless then...if I can't use CorePlayer what's the point?
Let me plug it in real quick.
Ok I figured it out.
Ok first off - the jack you plug the phone into has a place to charge your phone. That's a nice feature.
Ok, you plug it in, the phone displays on your TV Beautifully. It gives four buttons.
Powerpoint
Photos and Videos
Internet
Youtube
The only soft button is "Close".
You press Close, it goes to your default Touchflo screen - the one when you open the keyboard. Touchflo 2D I think? Well I'm gonna go explore some more.
Edit: I opened Diamond Hologram and it froze. It just came here actually. Diamon Hologram displays vertically, but the phone is locked horizontally, so it looks very strange. So be careful opening programs that can't tilt. I don't have G-Sensor on but I bet it'd help.
No cable here. I ordered Oct 10 from Expansys and have been continually misled about stock and delivery. Now they say that due to an error, they shipped others ahead of mine and are again out of stock... maybe sometime in January. Is there ANY other supplier? I'm tired of the BS.

Live and learn. I have probably invested over an hour of my time writing emails and calling about what should have been a 1 minute click and purchase item. I'm done. I'll call one more time today and to cancel the order.

Don't believe their website on availability. When I ordered one a few days ago, it showed nearly 400 in stock. Then I get an e-mail saying it won't ship until mid to late December. They also offered to substitute one of their own cables, which does not charge.

F$%^CK The [email protected]@rds!!!!
excuse my french :]
I have exactly the same experience with them!!
I wanted to do a safe internet buy, so i thought it would be wise to buy some phone stuff at the official HTC shop.
Arriving at the payment i suddenly noticed the name Expansys popping up, since the delivery would only take 3 days, i didnt care so much about it. Afterall i was redirected from the HTC shop. End of the story: the delivery wasnt 3 days but 3 full months!!!!And the people at the Dutch Expansys shop didnt care about a thing
i will never never never buy something from those criminals again...
At least their webpage says out of stock now and Jan. delivery on the tv cables. I bet they have has alot of irate calls the last few weeks from customers. HTC really needs to find a better partner to do business with for their accessoires.
Anyone know where to get one in the US???????

For what it's worth, I ordered mine thru expansys on Saturday, and it just got delivered to my house today via Fedex.
Looking forward to trying it out when I get home! Toys! I love toys!!

[Q] Has ayone received the car dock from HTC website?

Hey Guys,
I had ordered the Nexus one car dock from HTC website (Letstalk.com) on Aug-8. At that it was back ordered and available to ship on Aug-18. From that day they keep extending the date by a day everyday, the current date to ship is 9/9/2010.
Just want to know is the new date to ship only for new orders or all orders? and has anyone received the car dock from this site?
Thanks!
you're not alone.. I ordered back around August 14th and keep getting the 'still backordered' e-mail with the ETA getting pushed back.
do the items even exist? I always get the run around from HTC.. thinking about upping the ante with a BBB complaint...
wow im glad i didnt order mine yet then...
Hi,
sory off-post,
I bought, some days ago, the holder from brodit, and is spectacular, already used on my old hd, but for me is without doubt the best on the market.

Those are nice until they damage the finish on the bottom of your phone (I have one, I now have a paint chip on either corner of my phone thanks to that holder).
Thanks for the replies guys.....I am glad I am not alone...its unfortunate though.
HTC website is misleading, it says "backordered and available to ship", does not say those avaialbility dates are uncertain...its almost like they are cheating customers to buy from them and then keep them waiting.
I guess i will cancel my order and buy other holders available in market ..there are few suggested by other users in this forum.
Always backordered here too since mid August.
Except I paid of course immediately...
I ordered mine at the beginnig of august. On the site it was written availability september the 1st. And I received it august the 25th !!
I'm in France, maybe, for once, we are lucky .
Now it shows as TBD no more ETA in the last email..
nah, they do that a lot. check the htc website, its been postponed 3 more days.
I ordered mine in early August and still getting emails of backorder every two days. Wondering if they'll ever fullfill the orders.
Not sure if I am getting special treatment but here is what has happened so far:
I left the car dock in my windshield for about 2 months... bluetooth speaker started to suck. Went to release my phone with the push tab and the frame fractured.
About a week ago, maybe two, I called HTC and they emailed me a label for overnight to them for replacement and seeing if what was wrong was covered. Having not heard from them eight days later I called with my HTC ticket# and asked why I haven't received any notifications regarding my device and the lady escalated my ticket and I received my car dock today. It looks different...not sure how. But they definitely have them. Good luck to those of you who didn't pull the trigger for one right when you got your phone like I did.
I ordered a case from them on August 16th and they kept sending backorder emails well I got tired of their **** and just cancelled my order. Maybe one day I may or may not reorder when they have them in stock.
I also ordered in august and have been getting the emails every few days when they push the ship date back. It is pissing me off
Add me to the list... Ordered early August, nothing received other than those stupid every-2-day emails...
I am starting to think of cancelling the order.
Add the desktop dock to the backorder love...
Talked to google MULTIPLE times about availability of Official Nexus One accessories after the google.com/phone site went offline for orders. They kept giving me shaded answers until finally hinting they would be offered by htc. Finally HTC offered items on the HTC accessories site in the states. Ordered my desktop dock about a week ago and I have since gotten three backorder updates...
1) 9/22/2010
2) 10/10/2010
3) 11/26/2010
Are you kidding me? I bet I could take classes to learn how to program bluetooth technologies and set plastic moldings; I could then make my own dock before I get my official one...
Yet I digress with my patience; I want the official dock.
I ordered on august 24th and have gotten 13 emails pushing the date back

Rumor: release date for new smart watch

here
apparently the clove website has a release date of july 15th for the next gen sony smart watch.
price...a sweet £120.u can read the rest in the article.
sorry but official sonyxperia account confirmed that it is going to be released in September. here is the picture. hate that this rumor is not true..if not it'll be a good price...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Just made a pre-order myself @ clove
Well, Sony has said that it will be available WORLDWIDE in September, the paramount word here being worldwide. UK is not worldwide and it's not as if they necessarily just stock up produced watches and then ship it everywhere at the exact same time. Clove is a reputable company IMO, but I'll get back to post here when I have my watch before the end of this month :victory: (fingers crossed)
Keen to get this too.. just not sure if warranty is international or not though!

There are at least three UK web sites with the Sony SmartWatch 2 on pre-order in two weeks (July 15 week): Clove, MobileFunUK, and Handtec. I pre-ordered from both Clove and MobileFunUK. Clove already charged my credit card!
I ordered the current generation from MobileFunUK last year and it was delivered earlier than the rest of the world by a few weeks if I recall correctly.
So it seems very real!
cant believe theres STILL no speaker and mic. this is a must have imo. ive been waiting for so long for that, now going to have to wait longer!

Its not trying to replace a bluetooth earpiece, not to mention it would make it too bulky. Look at the Kreyos. Great features, but looks ridiculous as a watch.

im not sure where it says what its suposed to do before its released? so there is no reason they could not do it these days (im sure it could be done without being bulky) ive read of many users that would love that functionality. i would be quite willing to pay the extra price. it would turn it from being a good watch to being the best. (especially if it included a camera too!)

Yes two for now. I have 4 Sony current generation ones. I typically get multiple for various reasons including being able to have failures/damages.
Some web sites charge on preorder, I didn't realize Clove was doing this but am OK with it.
It will be interesting to see which one gets delivered first, as I also selected the fastest option available with each.

In Clove's FAQ they write the following:
Do you take payment straight away?
Unless you have ordered an item that is marked as 'pre-order' on the product page, you will be charged straight away for the products ordered.
I pre-ordered, obviously, and they charged me straight away, now they just happen to have to delay it till week starting September 9 because Sony misinformed them. Yeah right. Lying sacks of s.... I'm fuming right now. Mobilefun.co.uk has it for preorder too and having bought 10+ times from them already and always really satisfied, I'll preorder with them instead. Also they answer questions and their watch is the plastic or silicone strap, which I prefer to the leather one that Clove claims to get - if ever. Like I'm gonna lend them all that money for 2 months
EDIT: So delay is legit, but their charing immediately is still crappy business practice.
Yup just got the Emil from Clover about the Sept 9 delay also.
Not too keen on their charge of the card now may ask them to reverse it till shipment.

Just take a look at who you should trust. Trustpilot is a Danish company, so not as well known by non-Danes, but I concur with the reviewers.
Check Trustpilot website and read about Mobilefun and Clove and then compare them.
Can't post links because of this damn spam prevention 10 post system. At least this way, replying and hopefully helping you, I'll rack up enough to be able to post in developers section. By no means a newbie but unlike some I always search forums thoroughly, so never needed to ask much myself :angel:
I have just ordered it from Mobilefun and theirs is the rubber strap that I wanted anyway. Even it I still won't get it till September, I trust them regarding any problems with the watch later, should such arise.
Clove just responded that I'll get my money back within 7 business days!!! What? They should do it today so I'll have it by tomorrow. I might get it by tomorrow, I guess, but never have I dealt with anyone that slow.
Best of luck and Mobilefun FTW :victory:

Can't post links yet but to to mobilefun . co. uk and type smartwatch, then find version 2 and read the correspondence. They seem quite certain it will be in July, or it would seem, at least before September. You could give it till tomorrow to see it they change their prospects like Clove did, but unlike those sons of cloves they won't charge you until they actually send it.

Verbatim copy paste from Mobilefun’s website where some dude asked what we’d all like to know.
David:
Hi there. I have this on pre-order with you in anticipation of the 15th July release date. However, sources are saying as of this morning, Sony has now pushed back its release date to its original one of September. Do you know if this is now the case? Thanks.
Mobilefun:
Hi David,
The release date of the Sony SmartWatch 2 has been put back to September and will not be launching week commencing 15th July as previously stated. The revised arrival date is week commencing 9th September. At all times we provide the most accurate information we can based on data we are supplied. It has transpired that the date of the 15th July given by Sony’s distribution arm was incorrect.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this delay may cause.
So it seems the delivery delay is the same for Mobilefun and Clove. Only difference now is that Clove will charge you immediately and Mobilefun won’t until they actually ship AFAIK. Clove’s comes with a narrow black leather strap and Mobilefun’s is the silicone strap. I’ve opted for the latter since I don’t want a splashproof watch with a strap that can’t handle water at all, or sweat for that matter. The silicone one is wider and more supportive and hugs the watch making it look smaller and the little holder things appear less prominent. Sony will release extra straps later, but that could take a while and if their overpriced M2 micro-flash cards are anything to go by, they’ll cost twice as much as a similar 24 mm strap on amazon/ebay. The silicone one is a fit, but the leather one is generic, so buy the durable silicone and you can then easily replace with a less durable leather later. Just my two cents.
EDIT: Mobilefun also charges immediately. Guess there's not way around that, but I don't care anymore. The other stuff I got from them I've liked and their service has been good so far.
