HTC Touch cruise had to be commercialized since 29th november.
In France, Only Surcouf had 10 pieces at the end of december.
So, where is it ?
I start to ask myself if I will study to buy other pda because i can't wait now more than 15 days.
HTC, are you thinking you can take customers as idiots ?
I was hoping having TC for christmas then for the new year and now, i have phoned to the big french store and none of them have order this model.
And no way to know which store will be selling the phone. I can't contact HTC.
Please, HTC, don't sell phone you don't have in stock and don't be surprised your sells was bad in december !
Ziggy
You can find HTC cruise on pixmania or materiel.net sur expansys.fr sur ldlc.com but not before the 16/01.
ps:si tu le trouves ailleur avant dit le moi
I am searching the HTC TC with illimythic SFR subscription but illimythic will end the 22 of january, argghh and it's less expensive to buy the HTC TC with a subscription (about 150 € less i think, maybe more)
PS : d'accord

You can subscrite to illymythic with a good phone (like Nokia N95 8Go) unlock the phone and sell it on ebay, and with the money you buy a HTC CRUISE...

There seems to be a problem with the HTC TC. HTC stopped delivering the TC. They will restart distributing the phone in week 9.

some people get angry when products are delayd
some get angry when the product is released before a propper driver for it's cpu's video playback and gaming is there
guess htc cant win

It's Dutch. The posting says that HTC is expected to start shipping TCs in week 9, so orders will be shipped in week 10. At the moment, it is unclear why HTC can't/won't ship TCs.

Is the timing of this and the court decision against Qualcomm just a coincidence?
True, I have just e-mailed the HTC company to ask for some more info about this... I just can't wait 2 weeks, and I'm getting crazy by the idea of waiting another 8 weeks:
Dear sir/madam,
Today I have received the message that you have postponed the HTC Touch Cruise (the NL and UK version) to week 9.
I wonder if this message is true and what the reason was for this drastic method. I call it drastic, since I have been waiting for this phone since half November (from the press release) and the fact that you already have postponed it before, in the beginning of December.
So could you tell me what the major issues where, and why you need to postpone it? The only complaints I have heard was that the video playback was shocking and that the camera was slow, but that this was a problem with the Qualcomm chip. Will that be fixed with the new generation of HTC Touch Cruises? Or shall I try to buy one of the UK models which are on the market right now? What's your advice on this point, is it worth waiting for?
Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Bart van den Hengel

I'll keep ya up to date, when I get a reply!
I've checked with my supplier (Belgium - http://www.sergevandermaesen.be/) and he confirmed me that my order will be on its way to arrrive Wednesday. So obviously not all suppliers have this issue?
"But don't you think that your second option meets the HTC Kaiser/Cruise production too....??"
yeah thats the irony of it that they are being blamed for both not getting them fast enough to the users and for releasing a product which people feel is not compleat
HTC S**kZ! They don't answered to my e-mail! I'm waiting for 3 weeks.

Ho hum ... I was flamed for this all last week, but I stand by what I said: until the thing is actually in the retailers with known (demonstrated) specs and price, I will put out NO $$$
If my copy gets in Wednesday, I'll be sure to test it in the afternoon/night and let you know, price was € 530, about $ 778.
Maybe the new delay is because of the Qualcomm issue, maybe it's not. First batch of Cruises was/is already out and is being sold in the retail (I got one 2 weeks ago).
Surely interesting to see there is yet another delay, even though it's already being sold. It seems that the shops that are selling the Cruise already are running out of stock quite fast.
Anyway, let's hope the delay is for the good. Maybe an upgraded firmware (dare I say:"Video driver"? .. nahhhh ) or perhaps something else that has to do with Qualcomm and their adventures. Let's just hope it's the last of the delays and more of you people can start and enjoy this new device.

wooh Bo Selcta got to Jamica great show, they are identical though quite a rip of and I dont belive for one moment they different manufactures just different boxes that HTC packaged them in
when the rep said to me "different manufactures" i did say "do you mean from different airtime providers" he said "yeh yeh different manufactures" So i take it he had no idea the phone was sold in 2 formats but they are both the same.

So did anyone work out if the I-mate backpack fits & works on the XDAII?
well since they are both HTC Himalaya
and the only difference between I-mate, xda2 and mda2
is a printet label on the device and custom rom
then unless they made some software block it would work
CF Backpacks
Yes - They are all interchangeable ...
BTW: If anyone has one they want to sell, I need a couple for a project..
[email protected] if you've got one
Cheers

Expansys, ey? Fact is that both are not available yet and in good Expansys tradition they list products for pre-order that they cannot deliver on - they just want you to place a pre-order and hope you will stick with it once the product becomes available... OK, prices on this path are just entirely wrong, but who cares about customers at Expansys anyway :lol:
Agree Frank
Have to agree, Frank - I notice you're a local . They should at least be stating accurately when a product is to be released and what the likely wait times are.
Not to mention the fact that the grey market of these products through Expansys just messes up the support channels here in Australia. We can't compete with a zero warranty, zero support product here!!! We've got to factor replacement, support and warranty costs - Real people, real families and real time...
It's hard enough supporting the issues in the current iMate lines (Like helping customers install Widcomm Bluetooth stacks to get GPS units and Navigation systems like Destinator working) - Now that O2 is looking like it'll pull out of Australia altogether now that the Telstra Australia deal pulled away from O2 to iMate (Carrier devices) ... It's going to be interesting what happens with the grey market for these products...
Carrier Devices won't touch a unit from outside Australia!
Cheers.

Has anyone tried a CF Wi-FI (802.11b) card with the expansion pack?
Do standard CF memory cards stick out a lot or are they flush when installed?
I'm thinking about an i-Mate or XDA-II but I'll need the expansion pack and the ability for Wi-FI (802.11b).
Thank you in advance for the help...

Someone has to actually get the Backpack before we can try it :wink:
I ordered one from a place that it was suggested actually had them in stock. I ordered, knowing full well of course that I'd get the "we apologize, but..." e-mail. And of course, a few hours later, I got that e-mail. They claim they had been told this week they would get them, now they are told next Wed Jan 28th. I'll believe it when I see a shipment tracking number. I think HTC has been saying "next week" for the Backpack since November.
I have a Socket CF WiFi card I've been dying to try. My Sandisk SD card works fine, but its a bit awkward the way it sticks out so far and the Socket CF card, with its small antenna, would not seem to extend beyond the edge of the XDA, according to the pictures I've seen of the CF slot on the Backpack.
HTC has handled their accessories very poorly IMO. I don't understand what the holdup is getting them out. The XDA II has been out for months now, but try and get even something as basic as a spare battery. At this rate, the XDA III will be out just as accessories for the XDA II are hitting stores :lol:
OK - thanks.
I had not realized that the backpacks were not "shipping" yet.
Please keep us posted. :wink:

CF Backpack delivery date!
G'day All,
The CF backpack shipment here is due on Feb 21st 2004. ie. Another few weeks... That's the iMate branded one.. It'll be interesting to see if the O2 branded ones turn up first - But I DEFINITELY doubt it!!

P.S. If you want one, http://estore.pressd.com in the Pocket PC Section.
Expansion Packs have arrived at expansis UK
I have cantacted Expansis and asked when they will have the expansion packs. They say in 4 working days (Monday in my reconing)
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=109731&asource=106055
They aslo said this is their second shipment as the first lot had run out.
I also noticed that the O2 version has now gone up in price from their previous listing and is very similar to the imate price. But you have to wait 40 days for it.
If anyone has tried it out yet let me know what you think.

Fantastic little-known feature of Google. Just type "327.65 GBP in USD" (without the double quotes) into Google and it will give you the answer. You can do all sorts of convertions this way, e.g. "29 inches in mm" or "58 cc in pints" (or "58 cc in UK pints" if you want to do it properly ). You can even do simple calculations like "(22 / 7) + 5".
Google currently converts £327.65 to 641.73529 U.S. dollars.

Have any of you been able to 'track' the shipment ? I can't see where I would find the tracking number ?
I don't see a tracking number and my status just says 'shipped'. Mine is coming tomorrow.
memory card come with it ?
just orderd mine....
i first got to hear of its release today on tracy and matt's blog. its was so sudden everywhere was just delaying it even more. anyway 86 left on devicewire after my order. i just can't belive HTC's press release from Nov 12 said it was launched then.... and only just now are we ordering it.
i hope everyone gets one, i cant wait till MONDAY.
Just ordered mine too for Saturday delivery. However, stock still showing 86, so I don't think it is updating live. Items might be lot fewer in the stock actually than it is showing and we might get the updated stock info in the morning. Hopefully, my order was in time as can't wait any longer ...... my kaiser would be on ebay on Sat .... anyone interested ???
but how can ask for international shiping? only seems UK.

Touch Cruise Now in at Inkino, London
Hi,
Just picked up my HTC Touch Cruise from Inkino on Tottenham Court Road in London. If you are after one I would hurry as I witnessed five being sold whilst I was there. Didn't think it would be this popular.
Mind you, my latest object of desire is one hell of a PDA/Phone (if you do not need a keyboard)

Been on orange for 4 years wasnt really happy to change, but after speaking to upgrades 2 weeks ago they said that they were not doing this phone in the very near future.

Thats terrible news, I been with Orange for like 8 years.. I'm classed as a band 5 customer and always get the newest phones for free... I have loads of magic numbers. N!O!N!O !
When they say near furture. i'm hoping they mean it might be available next month!
I might have to stick it out and wait for the Sony X1, but not even sure if that will be available, not sure I can draw myself to the lows for the Diamond, there was just to much going for the pro...
According to the vodafone forum, the touch pro will only be available on business contracts. The reason they give is becuase the touch pro browser can not support vodafone live.
Scheduled Vodafone Touch Pro Release Date
Hi all
Just to let you all know, the Touch Pro is scheduled for release for business contracts and upgrades on the 7th September. This date is provisional and may be subject to change, though we have no reason at the moment to believe it will slip.

Thanks Daz, can you confirm the availability limited only to Business Contracts due to the Vodafone Live problem on the Touch Browser? If this indeed is a problem, but bear in mind the Touch Browser browser is Opera, but of course Internet Explorer is still installed on it and therefore should be ok.

If Voda are like Dell then they don't care if you use the business channels as they get the money anyway, however if their only objective is to push vodalive in everyone's face then maybe not
The touch pro is going to be people most obvious upgrade from the kaiser, which was available on a consumer contract, so why are they only offering it on a buisiness contract, if people are willing to pay on a normal consumer contract then why not take the money?
Best place to get information is from the vodafone forum.
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4669&st=100&start=100
Some quotes from vodafone staff below
Vintagewhino - I'm afraid there's been no change on this device being classified as business only, although if we hear anything regarding this you'll be amongst the first to find out. Was there a particular reason you wanted to go for the Touch Pro as opposed to the Diamond?
Its not that the HTC have hardware issues, its just that they have the business firmware loaded and as such are not compatible with the consumer services
Hi intertree
I wouldn’t be able to go into the technical details of this because there aren’t any technical reasons. This is purely a Vodafone decision.
This phone is only available for business users, so if you are not a business user, unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to get this phone. You could give our sales team a call and see if there is any way around it or see if there are any other devices that are available on consumer plans that would suit your needs.
Probably because the administrative overheads from a support point of view are higher for a device like this. They may have decided this based on a high number of support calls received for the Kaiser and took the decision to offer it to a smaller but, arguably, more competent sector of their user base.
Done a quick search but can't see anything on this here on the forum so here goes:
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hd2/specification.html
Will one of the XDA moderators consider opening a dedicated forum for this device, now known as the HTC HD2 please?
I am toying between going straight out and buying one tomorrow morning, providing the stockists advertising them actually have the item in stock, or waiting until Christmas. Anyone else considering purchasing and of so how do we get the developers interested in doing stuff for this device?
Cheers
WB
LOL,
It was only ANNOUNCED today mate, that means you can forget about going out tomorrow and actually buy one ;-)
That said, I am going to buy one as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere around the end of october if we get lucky.
Me thinks that HTC got a best seller here, and am not worried that the XDA developers won't pick up this device anytime soon.
Until then, I keep drooling over the pics & specs
Clubbraxx,
I had a conversation with a supplier the other day and was left with the impression that some devices were already out there, waiting for today's announcement as the go-ahead for being able to release direct to the public as of now.
Needless to say I will be on the phone in the morning chasing up the said supplier and seeing what they have to say for themselves.
Just seen someone moaning about the price of the device at circa £550. Given the high-end spec of the device and taking a 3 or 4 year ownership span into account, I would say that this appears to be a reasonable price for a sim free device.
No doubt the networks will be doing their best to tie in the unwary into 3 year/multi dollar contracts to make a killing on these.
Let me know if you hear any news.
Cheers
WB
The device should be available before the end of this month. I'm looking forward to it
Btw, the device is listed on expansys for $829,99 (or €649,99).
I was told by a customer service rep at O2(UK) at the weekend, that they have the device listed for mid October release.
As an O2 customer who has a contract ending on November 1st, I am considering getting one ASAP. I am unsure however, whether to get HD2, or TP2.
QWERTY & TV out, or Monster capacitive screen. Hmmmmm.... decisions, decisions.
Any help appreciated. lol.

Availability Update
Following my chasing up of contacts today it looks like network providers such as o2 will have their stock to be released from mid October, ie next week. Sim free providers will not be getting their stock for release until a month later, ie mid November.
The above applies to the UK only; I have no idea what the position is elsewhere.
My order is just about to go in....

Hi all!
What do you think of this model?
I fills my needs by 200%, but i heard that some software made for older 6 and 6.1 wont work on this new 6.5? Is that right? And i've also heard that Win mobile 7 is done. if so why did they not use win 7 on this new model?
Thanks in advance

Nobody knows - but the best guess at the moment is next week at the earliest. O2 just can't seem to answer a straight question different representatives giving different answers. It could come out this afternoon but nobody knows
looks like its been delayed until november now

based on what?
Gonna phone them again. They are all saying its due this week but can't tell me when. They say only once it shows on the system can they price it etc.
Next rep has said they are conducting tests on it and it will be released on the 26th November. I am so bloody impatient!

i know it's terrible waiting! i am so DESPERATE for this phone lol
Getting around all the hype, I don't think the Palm Pre has been a fantastic seller for them and I think if the HD2 drops now it will leave them with a lot of unsold Pre's.... so they are holding it back for the that reason (pure guesswork on my part).

The HD2 was supposed to be "in the final stages of acceptance testing" last week.

How they expected the Pre to sell as well as their marketing implies that they expected it to, is a mystery to me - the Pre offers very little new or exciting, with the OS being the only real exception (and I've heard a wide range of opinions on the OS). The problem is, if they hold back the HD2, they're going to end up not selling many of those as most people who want one will have moved to a different network or got one unlocked (O2 is one of the worse networks now IMHO - presumably they spent all of their money on iPhone exclusivity and subsidisation rather than improving their network and offering good deals).
Why doesn't the BBC interview O2 about the HD2 instead of wasting time interviewing them about the Pre?
I agree

I think you might jus be right on that one my friend hopefully that wil teach them next time not be greedy and try to stock every handset under the sun
Yes, been pushed back to 3rd week November. However none of the reps I have spoken to are absolutely sure when it will be out, nor what the final pricing structure will be.
I am assuming they will definitely be out by December to catch the Xmas traffic.

Lol,
they will be selling it on estonia at late october on early november.
T-mobile is also selling them on 6 Nov according to them. I guess O2 thinks they are special and people will wait for them
Keep an eye on this thread guys.
Ok, WHOS calling o2 everyday (Multiple times) like me?

How do you know? One of the early excuses for an ambiguous date was that O2 didn't want the HD2 to hurt Pre sales. However, there's clearly a lot more demand for the HD2 and a lot less demand for the Pre than they expected, so O2 might decide to fast-track the HD2.
Latest from o2;
I called customer services and spoke to a guy who said they will definitely be getting stock over the weekend and it will definitely be on sale on the 26th October. I have now spoken to quite a few o2 reps and none have sounded as positive as this one. He didn't even have to go and ask a supervisor/manager/buyer........
We shall see!

Thing is, they were originally planning to launch the HD2 on 12th October, so that blows your theory out of the water. See here:

and various other news reports.

Of course he didn't have to ask a supervisor. He was just telling you what you wanted to hear so he could get you off the line and move on to the next customer with a genuine need of assistance.
I'm not trying to be nasty, but there's no way the HD2 will be on sale from O2 on Monday, when none of the e-tailers are getting it until 11th November at the earliest. So for the next month or so, why don't you be patient, leave the poor call centre staff alone and get on with enjoying your life. It's only a phone.
