Release in Germany - Touch Cruise General
At First: Sorry for my english!
Hello everybody... I'm very sad that they don't sell the Touch Cruise in Germany. Everywhere it can only pre-ordered.
When i saw the Touch Cruise at the first time, it was a little bit like my first love..
And since that day i couldn't sleep calmly. It sounds like a psycho, i know, but don't afraid...
I'm open this thread for all people in Germany who are also waiting like me.
If you are from Germany or have informations about the german release, you can write it down here. I hope i have mine in the next 2 weeks.
Have fun!
PS: I ordered mine @ Amazon.de for 529,- € without any shipping costs (normally at Amazon).
I also pre-ordered my TC at Amazon.de for 529 EUR.
I called them on Friday and asked about the estimated delivery date since the web site doesn't list any. The lady on the phone told me that the internal system stated January 17, 2008.
It seems we have to be patient...
It could be... But if HTC changes the delivery date again, don't be worried about it. ^^
HTC Cruis-Polaris -- XDA Orbit 2
Hi
I have bought the O2 XDA Orbit 2 - this is the same hardware but in an other case. I love this case it is like the HTC touch (elf).
You can buy it in the onlineshops in Germany for 499,-- Euro incl. Original TOMTOM 6.32 with Europe Alps Card+Carholder+12V Caradapter. Free an without locks.

Consider yourself lucky! I have been to 6 or 7 O2 shops in my vicinity and none of them had any Orbit2 in stock. Either they were already sold out or they hadn't gotten any yet. *sigh*
Personally I think that the case design of the Orbit2 is much better then that of the Touch Cruise. I would like to buy that device. However, I do not like branded devices. I had a vodafone branded Samsung once and it was horrible!
So I will have to wait for amazon.de to get some TCs.

Also: Ich habe mich heute bei Amazon anrufen lassen (5 Min. Wartezeit ) habe den netten Menschen dort gefragt, ob er mir denn eine konkrete Lieferzeit nennen könnte.. Ich frage mich wie sie dir den 17.01. nennen konnte, da man mir gesagt hat, dass es vom Lieferanten noch keine Bestätigung gibt. Ich meinte dann: Ja aber so ungefähr usw. Daraufhin meinte der Herr: Es gibt keinen festen Liefertermin weder für mich noch für Amazon selbst... Er hat sich ja auch extra bemüht... hat im System nachgeschaut aber nichts gefunden. Is schon alles ****... Also ist warten angesagt. Ich hoffe Amazon bekommt die Teile bald, ansonsten bestelle ich woanders. Gut dass man bei Amazon jederzeit online stornieren kann...

I REALLY hope that amazon and others do get some TCs soon or I will be SERIOUSLY tempted to purchase a XDA Orbit 2 instead.
*sigh*
@badaccent on german because difficult to translate for me
Ich war auch kurz davor den Orbit 2 zu kaufen, da ich den bei MM gesehen habe und meine Freundin meinte auch der Orbit 2 is schicker... Ich war auch schon fast so weit mir den zu holen, bis ich dann erfahren habe, dass ich die 100 Frei-SMS nicht bekäme, wenn ich den gleich mitnehme... Ich solle online bei o2 bestellen, was ich ja auch tun wollte, aber o2 hatte keine auf Lager. Naja seitdem "fast Seitensprung" bleibe ich bei HTC, denn das Design is hammer geil... Wenn dir das Design vom o2 auf gut gefällt, kannst du dir ja das orbit 2 holen, bekommst mehr für weiniger Kohle. Ich brauche aber den ganzen zusatz**** nicht, denn, wenn ich mal nen Navi im Auto brauche, nehm ich den von meinem dad. der is cooler!
Edit: You can answer in english!
I do not plan on changing anything in my tariff, plainly because I can not change anything yet. My tariff is locked until July 2008.
And frankly I do not prefer one design over the other. It is true that I would get more for less if I bought the Orbit 2.
So the question for now for me is: What is the DIFFERENCE between Touch Cruise and Orbit 2? Obviously the hardware is the same, so the differences must be in software. I would hate buying the Orbit 2 and then discover that it has limitations, i.e. in features, software (GPRS monitor, Sprite backup etc.) or such compared to the Touch cruise. That would warrant the 30 EUR more for the TC.
Can anybody tell me?
I don't think... You must look at PPC-Welt-Forum
i think there was a post about the differences.
Believe me, it think it's only the o2 design and the o2-home-screen whats different.
P.S.: Orbit 2 has SpriteBackup included

Any newer German ROM than Darkforce?
Want to give the "old" Universal to my mum. And WM6 is much better than WM5 (for example the possibility to search an email directly by starting to type the first few letters) But because she can't understand english I wanted to flash her the device with an WM6 with German language. The only one I found was the one from Darkforce which is rather old. Does there exist a newer one? Or should I perhaps switch to an WM5 ROM? But the T-Mobile Original ROM is so much modified. I don't have a plain one. Oh man. Need to do this till tomorrow morning. That's about 12 hours from now ;-) If someone has an Idea I would be really grateful. TIA, NiTeSHiFT (soon an HTC Kaiser owner, but still has an SDA Business and XDA Cosmo that is Excalibur and a Treo 750.)
Look at my ROM. http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=114139
Thanks a lot dude Didn't knew there's another one cooking german ROMs Why didn't you post that earlier? Danke! Da wird sich meine Mutter freuen ;-)
Available in Norway on January 24th!
Hi all! I came across the following notice on this web page: Vi fikk beskjed fra vår distributør at HTC har bestemet at det skal være felles release dato på HTC P3650 Touch Cruise 24.01 Vi har denne for salg, men den vil ikke kunne bli sendt ut til kunder før 24.01 Translation: 'We were informed by our distributor that HTC has decided that there will be a joined release date for the HTC P3650 Touch Cruise on January 24th. We do have the units before that date, but they will not be shipped to customers before the 24th.' So... 6 more days of waiting here in Norway...
So are we getting an official version of WM6.1?
The various blogging sites have put out the list of devices that are scheduled to receive the official 6.1 upgrade. HTC: A new Touch Dual for the U.S. and updates for the AT&T Tilt, Touch by HTC, Mogul by HTC from Sprint, TyTN II The question I have is: Does the TC fall into the "touch" category or is the TC not going to get an upgrade?
Since the Hermes got the update from wm5 to wm6, I doubt that they'll leave the TC out... atleast i hope so
I'd be really suprised if we didn't. It seems that the sites you have been looking at focus on US carriers and phone editions. The TC isn't an official US phone, so its no suprise that its not included in your list.
I want to remember that the best seller HTC P3600 (aka Trinity) got the WM5 -> WM6 Upgrade only for Asia/Pacifici (CHT, SEA, NZL) while in Europe and US got no upgrade. So we will see
The german provider o2 announced an official release of a WM 6.1 ROM for their "XDA Orbit 2" the next weeks - including Opera 9.5!
Do you have an official O2 Statement (link?) or is this just a rumour ?

Dutch upgrade WM 6.1
Does it exist? Hello! I have just upgraded my mobile with the dr. Martin Gonzo Rom to WM 6.1, unfortunately it is only in English! Does it exist in the Dutch language? I am looking for Dutch interface and menu's! I've tried creating my own rom, with the Rom Language updater, but that error-ed on me, for reasons I do not understand. Is there anyone who knows more? Does it exist? Doesn't it? Who has one? Thank you for your time!
I would be interested in this too. It would be even better if fireburned's cleanrom gets translated. Want dat leest toch wel wat makkelijker

Click to collapse Mee eens de Engelse versie is top, maar geef mij toch maar ouderwetsch Hollandsch! -- on topic: has anyone heard of a dutch version? Is it possible or? Is anyone able to build one with dr gonzos language builder, found somewhere else on this forum? I failed miserably!
jaah die wil ik ook wel aka I would like that
Inderdaad, dat zou ik ook wel willen Indeed, that I would also like to.
anyone?! who can at least tell us how to do it?? i have absolutely no idea where to begin
Well you need to find SYS language for 6.1 and then translate the mui files from HTC to Dutch, then we can talk about making a ROM!

Click to collapse That sounds difficult, but in a country filled with nerds (oh oh), there must be a dutchman or -woman capable of understanding what you just said But who?
There is a S740 Orange ROM around, WM6.1 based which contains about 10 languages, including the Dutch language. Tried fiddling around with the mui files for my S730 but that didn't work out very well so far...
There is a NoThrills WM 6.1 NLD *Dutch* V3 - Dutch ROM with the brand new OS build 19202 here's the link; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379401 good luck:
^ That's a Kaiser rom. That won't work on a vox, right? If anyone has found a Dutch WM 6.1 rom, please let me know.
I may have the files necessary for cooking a dutch ROM, but I don't have the time right now. Maybe in two weeks.
That'd be awesome
That would definitely be awesome. I know my girl would really appreciate it.
Uh I just noticed that the last one was my 1000th post Yeah, just not the next week since I am going to be really busy!
Frauhottelman, keep up the good work... really like the rose 0.4! If you do find some spare time, I would be interested in a Dutch rom as well... wish I could do it myself, but some guys are good in building houses and some are good at making rom's ;-) good luck and thanks for the rose!
I almost can't wait, it would be very nice if you can cook one
Next week. And then I don't even know if it'll work!?
I have lots of trust in you
I hope there is comming a ducht rom too! Is someone making it already? Sorry for my poor englisch
