I really would like to know if there is one single chosen forum member?
To me it seems this is cheap advertising!
I was chosen.
It's not just a marketing ploy, they really do want feedback...
By the look of the images, it seems that the Trinty has to be slid into the holder.
Now, I have reservations when it somes to plastic sliding against plastic, as this inevitably means scratches.
I doubt the reviewers will use their own Trinity's to constantly slide the unit in and out of the holder, but I certaily would not consider a holder which would potentially scratch my PDA after frequent use.
What is the 'executive' element of these holders?

good to know that you are the chosen one, neo ! ;-)
I currently use a brodit active mount my PDA. I also used the same for my previous phone (Prophet/M600). I've used these mounts for over a year and like PaulusUK I did not feel comfortable sliding plastic against plastic (and the brodit ones are very snug) but so far - no damage at all (and I use my PDA loads).
I will give some feedback about the new mount when I've had chance to look at it/try is out for a few days...
I've managed to use this mount for about 300 miles here's the feedback:
It's a lot more durable than it looks on the pictures.
It's very adjustable and tightens up easily and nicely.
The slide in fit is secure and maybe not quite as tight as the brodit I do not see any problems with scratching although I will keep testing over the months and report back if anything happens.
The ball joint and extendible arm are nice touches.
The suction cup is one of the strongest I've seen although not quite as strong as the RAM version I cannot image it ever falling off.
It's virtually vibration free, you get a touch of vibration at times although it's nothing I could really complain about (it's loads better than the RAM).
I've used over 15 different mounts over many years and in summary this one is neat strong and does the job very well. I recommend it.
If anyone has any questions please just ask and I will try to help.

Is it possible to p u s h on the screen e.g. if you want to dial a number, can you do it in the holder (I hope you understand what I am trying to say) ?

No problem pushing on the screen. But if you have the arm extended you need to push it back first, then it's solid (hope this makes sense).

Yeah I think I understand. The extension is not fixed.
best pda mount ever (in my opinion anyway)... i bought it from the uk via ebay
http://stores.ebay.com/Buybits-GPS-Navigation-Store
search for keywords "bb deluxe magnetic mount"
it's magnetic and the pda mount is covered with soft rubber (or foam) so you don't need to worry about scratches. all you need to do is attach a small piece of metal to the back of your pda.
I just watch this on Engadget...
Which one do you think is better???
http://japanese.engadget.com/2007/05/22/x01t-windows-mobile-6/
http://japanese.engadget.com/2007/05/22/x02ht-htc-qwerty/
X02HT is out in Asia by Dopod as C730..
I wonder if there is a forum for that device here..
I like the X01T a lot! Any one knows when it will be released (in Europe)?
I'm guessing the XO1T is a Toshiba G900 looking from the key layout and screen spec and XO2HT goes under the name C720
got x02ht
got the device but i want it unlock. anybody got the plans? nice clear pictures
X02HT does NOT have a touchscreen.
I read somewhere it is a HTC Cavalier (rebadged for the Japanese market - therefore probably gutted of functionality and made difficult to unlock like the greedy japanese telephone companies tend to do)
X01T is only available in Japanese, but has a touchscreen. Yes, it is supposedly the G900 rebadged. But they've added an infrared port, which I didn't see on the G900 specs, nor on the early X01T. (Happy about that. I can use my Polar heart rate monitor with it!) I've had mine for a week, and so far so good. Poor battery life (5 or 6 hours) with heavy internet use, but generally happy. Will be buying a USB portable battery pack to give it a power boost on the road. From what I hear, this is usual for PDA battery life now days if you use them online a lot.
Hi Guys
I have a HTC TyTN which I am using beyond its capabilities. I have upgraded it to WM6 and use a lot of the extra functionality that it contains however, I find it too slow and the screen is to low res. I am also seriously ****ed off with HTC build quality and it now has a fourth hardware issue that I cannot be bothered to return it for. - NO It has not been dropped, in fact its been treated better than an eggshell!
I was originaly looking at replacing it with an I-Mate Ultimate 5150 but I have now heard that they are not being released until November. I can't wait this long. I need a phone that can do all of the following but is NOT made by HTC
runs WM6
has HSDPA/3G
has Bluetooth/Not bothered about WiFi
is faster than this rubbish Samsung 2442A processor at 400mhz
ideally has more than 128meg ram - optional
has an optional extended battery
supports push Exchange email
Last but by no means least, MUST have a 640*480 screen
has a slide out/slide down keyboard
must NOT be made by HTC - no matter how well re-badged it is!
The monstrosity that is the JasJar is simply too big and doesn't support HSDPA anyway. Budget is not too much of a problem but I don't want to go bigger in size than the Ultimate 5150. I will be buying off-contract.
Apart from the I-Mate Ultimates, I can't find any phones to meet this criteria, anyone else know of any? I'm desperate!
Thanks loads in advance for saving my life! :thumbsup:
wow you're not asking for much...and limiting yourself to the small (albeit increasing) percentage of the market that is non-HTC isnt helping you. But then again HTC is a product cycle behind everyone else with VGA so no foul...
In any case your pretty well limited to:
Toshiba G900. Everything you want bar the Processor. Has a possibly low Samsung Processor onboard.
beyond that any other devices coming close to that criteria are comprimises
ie GLofish X800, Gigabyte T300 (Like the G900 due for Release soon). VGA screens aren't that all come on at the moment, but are gradually improving, this is certainly the year for them.
Hi
Thanks for that! Looking like the device for me
And yes, im a firm believer of never buying another product from a manufacturer when something I have bought from them has failed repeatedly. From what I understand, i'm not the only one that has a HTC device thats failed over and over again - google tells me this!
Anyway, i've alreadly found this for sale for 379 and that was with my first google!
Thanks again!!
Hi,
I am pretty much on the same boat, although I am reasonably happy with my TyTN... I just want more!
I have been looking at:
- Toshiba G900 - 800x480 screen, only slightly larger than the TyTN
- E-TEN Glofish X500+ - only just saw this in a magazine yesterday, it is supposed to be a 640x480 version of the X500, and it will be sold by Expansys... although its not on their website yet!
Monty: I know how you feel about HTC, which is why I went from BA -> Flame.
My requirements were slightly different. In descreasing order of importance:
At least 3.5" screen. 2.8 - 3.2" screens are too small, both for my eyes and my hands (with stylus).
VGA.
Lightweight and fits in pocket. (Rules out Universal and Athena.)
Portrait-normal form factor. I gotta be able to hold it in one hand and tap the stylus in the other, comfortably.
2.5G. 3G is still new here, and I can live with 2.5G speeds because of what I use it for (ssh).
Bluetooth. No need for GPS or KB if you have BT.
Prefer no keyboard or a hidden slide-out keyboard -- I'll use a soft, USB or BT keyboard instead of a keyboard with keys too tiny for my fingers, which ends up simply increasing the thickness of the device most of the time.
No HTC device satisfies these requirements. Only the XDA Flame does.
The HTC Panda is a throwback since it doesn't have VGA. Otherwise it might be an acceptable alternative when it comes out.
The iMate Ultimate 7150 would be my second choice when it comes out, despite its keyboard (looks hidable and does not increase thickness of device too much).
Until something better comes out, I'll stick with the Flame.

heard? who did u hear it from??
"The highly acclaimed Ultimate range from i-mate will be on offer to customers throughout the region from Sept 2007"
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6461.html
Toshiba G900 has 128M RAM, 128M ROM and a Marvell PXA270 520 Mhz cpu.
It has been released in the UK. The manual is available online - at the Toshiba.co.uk mobile communications site.
Not only is this faster than the SAMSUNG on the TyTN, but is also current Xscale / ARM - the Samsung was two generations out of date ... and generally regarded as end of line long before the TyTN came out.
Imate???? Their customer support SUCKS!!! I've had JasJam for 7months now and have had enough. No phone support. Representatives have NO IDEA what they are chatting about - absolutely no knowledge and noone responds to emails!!!!
Personally I am impressed by the imate ultimate series whenever it is released but I am troubled by their customer support.
For almost 3 months now the clubimate site (Jasjam) page mentions that a newer version of the operating system will soon be released. When I finally got on line with them yesterday the person mentioned that it has already been released. Before I could ask him where it is posted the on line chat disconnected not to be connected again. But I am sure that clown had no idea of what he was talking about.
Regards
the ultimates series have yet to prove themselfs not to be vaporware though

I dont think that it ll be a vaporware esp when considering the fact that the imate's future depends on them
hi,
is there a phone that has a around 3" screen, VGA, WM6 , GPS and HSDPA ?
the E-TEN X800 will have that when it gets out in 2010
the portege g900 is close but without GPS and it's screen is transmissive (weird for a modern phone)
the HTC Advantage is just too big and WM5 ?? WTH !
the HTC Omni might have all that but it only exists in photoshop plus it seems you can`t use it without unfolding the keyboard
the TyTN II doesn't have a VGA screen
I think I might go with the G900 and endure the non-reflective screen and carry around a bluetooth GPS since that's the only option right now and the X800 has been delayed for months
are there other phone to look out for , or other phones that come close ?
thanks
I think the x800 is out in certain online stores and rumor has it the m800 should also be coming out soon.
and if the polaris rumors are connect it will have 3.5" vga screen and all the rest
and maybe that thoshiba thingy forget it's name
The Polaris would not have vga, almost the same specs as the TyTN II only slimmer and no hardware keyboard. The more little/slimmer brother of the TyTN II.
still many sources who claim it does
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocke...s/257910/HTC-Touch-GPS-VGA-more-HTC-Polaris-/
http://www.trendygadget.com/2007/06/29/htc-polaris-coming-in-october/
you can get more with google both sources which say vga which say qvga
which say 2.8" and 3.5" it's still too early to say anything for surden

Wow are you not aware of the numerous serious problems it has?
And that Toshiba have practically given up?
Do a Google about user opinions you will find out more.
There were some X800 in stock yesterday at Inkino.
And it is (I think) widely available in Romania and nearby countries already.
Hi,
thanks for all the replies
I had no idea there were any X800 on the market yet
also I thought the g900 software glitches had been mostly corrected, in fact just before I read that I was gonna bid on a G900 on ebay , I was one click away literally !
inkino is inkinocomms.com ? right ?
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=1997
hmm it's pre-order
anyone knows of a store that really has some ?
I've been looking for this phone since august but release date is always two weeks away :\
also what about the HTC P6500 , is that coming out this century ? because it looks like it has everything too
With the G900, some issues are fixed with the new firmware, but a lot of users are still having problems and Toshiba don't give a tosh about further updates. I personally wouldn't gamble on it.
The turnaround time of upgrading a G900 from Toshiba is 8 weeks. And if you are not in the UK (don't know where are you from), then you can't even send the G900 to Toshiba to get an upgrade. You cannot download the firmware, the upgrade must be carried out by Toshiba.
Next week the X800 should start to become more widely available. However there are reports saying that the graphics performance is REALLY poor. I would wait for more user reports before deciding.
Don't know what you think but I think the P6500 is massive! (Massive as in physically huge, not as in popular)
I think x800 is already available....do you have informations about HTC release about a 3.5" vga touchflow device at the beginning of 2008??
I like the HTC touch cruise, but the 2.8" screen is too small!!!
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT by a Tosh. The quality is one thing and with a list of tweaks you can get it pretty stable. The SOD issue is probably caused by a wrong version of AS in the ROM.
But the f*ck*ng support from this is really bad. I did sent mine away 4 weeks ago, haven't heard a thing yet. No response on emails. They really don't give a **** about there customers.
9502 or m800
id wait and cross your fingers for I-mate 9502 or eten M800 (x800 with qwerty) to be released!
This is brand new: The I-Mate Ultimate 9502
http://www.imate.com/product.aspx?product=ultimate9502&skinid=1
It's got HSDPA/HSUPA for the United States along with a VGA screen, GPS, Wifi, etc. Check it out. Supposedly these will be sold directly through their website when the device becomes available.

I've been waiting for a long time for the X800, but it turns out to have a lot of issues:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=11632
The 64 mb of RAM ends up to be only 20 mb free after a soft reset because of the bulky ROM (too many programs want to load). No dedicated graphics processor gives it a 236.04 graphics index on spb benchmark. For perspective, the TyTn II's index is over 10 times higher. The VGA isn't worth painfully slow website scrolling.
If only, if only the 9502 isn't vaporware. If no ultimates are released in 2007, I'll throw in the towel, call VGA a dream, and buy a Tilt. I really hope it doesn't come to that.
HTC seriously needs some competition. How can a phone so fat have such a small battery (about 1300 mah)? So many radios need more juice--the 9502 is supposed to have around 1600 mah.
Here's hoping for the 9502 . . .
I thought you can now buy high capacity batteries (1600mah or so) that are the same size as the OE battery?
Early imate 9502 review
http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2007/10/imate_9502_handson.html
Im getting one!
skipping the eten m800 (mainly because low memory).
d
I am waiting for something like this myself.
Really hope that HTC will release an iPhone-killer. And not that ugly as HTC6500.
I have been after this exact phone for 2 and a bit years, Im so happy it finally exists !! I started with the universal when it first came to the UK, it was nearly perfect features wise but had issues, now I have an athena it has all the features I want but it's just too big and now finally this !! I hope one of the UK vendors picks it up !!!
Does anyone know if the htc Polaris (Touch Cruise) is available in Switzerland? I have not yet seen it and want to get one.
Is there another phone that you would recommend rather than the HTC touch Polaris (it seems this one has it all)

So far only worthy competition is i-Mate Ultimate 9502. But only on paper - it's still not on market. Other problem is that there seems they haven't representatives in Europe...
When deciding on my latest phone, I looked very carefully at the TC and Eten X800. The Eten has a better performing GPS chip, a beautiful VGA screen and (on paper) a faster processor, but gives away 64Mb of RAM, is slightly larger and heavier than the TC and in practise seems to have speed issues. So it seems that, no, there is no direct competition to the TC, which is why I, and many others, are now in a queue, waiting for our orders!
Ah is it still in queue. Supposedly it has hit the market, but I only see in on Xpansys and it is not being provided by any of the phone companies yet. I am up for contract renewal and wanted to use this as the opportunity to get a smart phone.

Yep. I have watched MobilePlanet (Expansys in the US) push back the availability date several times. It is now currently at Feb 22. If I don't receive mine by then, I will seriously consider canceling my order and keep my Treo 750 until the next round of devices come to market. That ETEN V900 does look pretty sweet, if indeed the specs (and performance) is up to par.
French version is available...
I've had mine for a bit over 2 weeks now (originally ordered the English version, but switched to french when it became available). www.digitec.ch have it in stock (809.-). And I've seen it today in Mediamarkt Crissier (999.-)
