Expansion Packs (Expansys)

Happy Brand New Year Y'all.
Listen. Just browsed the following pages at Expansys.com regarding the above. Can someone tell me what hardware differences there are between the two devices. I'll be damned if the Expansion Pack for I-Mate could not work with the XDAII. Check out the price difference!

I just rang them and they said they are 2 identical products but with different manufacturies (excuise my spelling) hence the different price, the Cheaper £82 inc VAT should be ready first week in Feb

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.

heheheheh - it appear to be a good joke though

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

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:

Sorry to hear I thought they said they are going to have it by Jan. 21, I guess not... my bad!

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!!
Cheers

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.

Sony Experia X1 Wanted!

If any one has a experia x1 for sale £400 or less let me know i have found a few of then the cheapest i could find is £395 so anything less than than or around it im open too. Also i have a few questions about this phone; does it have themes? and is it better than the t-mobile G1, thanks ...

You can't really ask if one phone is better than another, its a matter of opinion (and what needs you have for the phone.) The two phone you are asking us to compare don't even have the same operating system.

hmmm...
OK well then if they dont have the same operating system which one is better in terms of internet speed and connectivity and stuff....?

even thats a moot point because for instance the n=nokia n95 and the htc tytn 2 have bluetooth 2.0 meaning they work at the same speed now if you need to know internet speeds i suggest looking up the phones you would like to comapre using gsm arena.com and seeing which has the better conections
so if you look at the HTC G1 specs
and then the Xperia x1 specs youll see they both have HSDPA up to 7.2 mbps
but then this means you have to make note of which of the cariers in you area ca do the fastest speed for instance were i live i can only get a weak o2 2g signal but a HSDPA signal from orange

I have both for sale in perfect condition.

I have both the xli and a, US VERSION, both in like new condition and I do not know your currency well but you would want the i for 3g speeds, important to many, that one is black and I would sell for $550.00 us dollars. The i is in pristine condition and included the box, manauls and al accessories and is 2 months old. 10 mo left on the warranty. please call or emial if interested and my price is somewhat negotiable.

ooo lots of information
To jayjay8585 - thanks that helps alot because i wernt sure whether to go on orange or O2 to get this phone because instead of buying it unlocked i might just get a new contract instead so this helps me alot for the purposes of my decision can i ask in what area you live because if its far from my area your information might not be as much help.
To kevinrirvine - thats about £379 which is the best price so far so thats good and i want the phone in black so that is also good but i might be getting a new contract as i said before but that is not for definite so im intrested in the phone i will email you and update you thanks. btw what about postage and packaging?

thanks omg the websites helped so much because they had the same information comparison and i have come to the conclusion that the xperia is better in general so thanks that helped soooo much

I won't know this until i know your location etc?

Postage and packaging I cannot give you a clear idea of until I know your are serious and sincere about this, sounds like you are undecided, and I also need to know your location to get accurate shipping and handling charges. I will only charge you what fed ex or ups charges me rest assured. Please remember this is unlocked so no contract is necessary which is A BIG PLUS I BELIEVE. PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY NOT XDA IF YOU ARE TRULY SERIOUS AND I AM SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. TAKE CARE, KEVIN

here's the situation...
o ok i understand it should be about two weeks at the most till i have decided what i am definitely doing because i have a LG Viewty at the moment and it has been sent for repair so if they give me a new Viewty i will sell it and buy the phone off you if they manage to fix it and return it to me i will have to end my contract i have now and buy the x1 brand new from o2 or orange. so thats the situation and i will email you asap, thanks

Im still open to better offers for the x1!!!!!!!
if anyone can beat $550=£379 let me know i doubt you can beat that its a good price for an amazing phone but if you think you can let me know....

I feel like you are undecided and still even after my unheard of offer trying to find a lower price. I don't have time for this game playing AND SINCE YOUR NEW TO XDA YOU SHOULD NEVER START A THREAD SAYING I WANT TO BUY THIS NOW AND THEN TELL ME OR ANYONE OH BY THE WAY IT WILL BE 2 MORE WEEKS AND THEN I STILL MIGHT NOT BUY FROM YOU. THINK ABOUT IT FROM MY END IT IS NOT FAIR. PLEASE KINDLY LET ME KNOW 100% BY TONIGHT YES OR NO TO THE DEAL FOR I COULD EASILY SELL FOR $600-700USD YET AM TRYING TO HELP A FELLOW XDA'ER OUT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. REGARDS, KEVIN

How can I get a Toshiba TG01?

I want this phone! But in Norway that's not going to happen via the carriers. So I have followed eBay since it came out in Japan, and as of yet there hasn't been a single one for sale there! Is there any way to get this phone? Preferably yesterday...

Have you checked here?
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=179063
They don´t give a date but I heard will be in september the launching

Thanks, but I don't buy from them anymore. Their service is rubbish, on two phones I have had it took them two months or more to get them fixed! One of them it actually took them two months to say "sorry, buyt we can't fix this", and that only happened after I phoned them and threatened to jump on my motorbike and tear their French (seems like all European repairs are done in France, and efficiency isn't exactly the mark of that country!) headquarter down brick by brick with my own fists to get to the very rude lady that took care of the matter. I also mailed her a picture of me, and I think that made them speed up things a bit...
And I really would like to wait a week or two, not until September!

Shame to hear yopur experience was not good with them...
If I know some other place, let you know
Cheers,

Thanks!

you can try this site i don't know much about it myself personally but i hope it helps you. http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4970243

Hope another member can give a review of that site, prices looks low to me, hope its not a scam...

I bought my TG01 off ebay for 480€.
But now, there`s not a single one available anymore!
I actually got the last one I've seen on ebay.

Thanks for the tip! But I didn't have time to wait so I have a HTC Touch HD now. If money (well, my wife...) permits, I'll get a TG01 in a few months.
Btw that Rightmate shop looks suspicious. Look at their front page: http://rightmate.ecrater.com/ Nothing says "good, professional shop" more than "Your image here"...

lol i didn't even see that part i just went to ecrater....i don't blame you for being skeptical

Ja, there's some on ebay.de if that's ok with you
http://handy.shop.ebay.de/Handys-Sm...a+tg01&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282
But I guess Norway ain't in the EU so you may have to pay tax

This is a MASSIVE phone I thought it was pretty ugly (saw it in orange).
Just my 2p

Yeah, it's big. But I saw a compare review out on the net, and it turns out that I may just as well stick with my HTC Touch HD. Nothing much to recommend the TG01 over that.

HTC Leo Officially Announced - HTC HD2

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.

Please merge, so many loe threads now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560143&page=77

op...what have you been smoking?

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....
WB

Made my order today
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

****... I bought new Touch HD one week ago... Now I see HD2 and I'm not very happy...

Depends on how much you would really use the TV out feature. They keyboard...thats different, for me if the on screen keyboard is at least as good as the iPhones I can dump the physical one and be happy.

[Q] TG01 now, HD2 later or a different phone?

Hi,
I have been looking to upgrade my phone to a Smart Phone and originally planned on buying the HTC HD2. However, my fund have recently been run dry, and now I am considering the Toshiba TG01, that I can buy straight away. Which should I buy, the HD2 later, the TG01 now or some other phone now or later?

To get them wholesale you'd have to go through HTC. Try going through a retailer but ring and ask them if they give discount to bulk orders. Some do.

Thanks for the reply.
Don't think that he will be buying enough to go through HTC lol
I'll ring up some retailers tomorrow.
Just googled it and it came up with a whole load of Chinese scammers.
