I want to sell my HTC Polaris at ebay but now i think about the fact whether it is allowed to sell this device with an OS which is not the official one. Do i have to hard reset - flash so that a wm6.1 version is again on my Polaris before selling it on ebay? Now i have a wm6.5 rom.
Anybody here who sold his Polaris with wm6.5 at ebay?
Lol, i dont think it will an issue if you sell it with WM6.5, unless there are any showstopper bugs. W/O bugs you are probably better off selling it with newer OS... you will get more value if that guy isnt geek enough to know flashing ROMs.
btw i'm interested in buying it. which country are you in? PM me.

Hey ppl check it out the xda argon
http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/phone_detail.aspx?id=94&groupid=4
NOOOOO xda flame what is the matter with o2? anyone no how i can get a hold of the flame? cos it looks like o2 not gonna release it in the uk or europe!
thanks
S1MB4D
that argon looks like little more then an alpine with wm5 and a better cam
odd choice for this day and age
It's a renamed Trion, which is a rebadged Hermes
so i guess o2 gonna be jerks and not release flame here?
Looks a lot like this to me
The picture of the XDA Argon looks a lot like this HTC P6300 (Panda) to me, what does anyone else think? http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=735
yeh, i think on website called coolsmartphones they had speculated it would be the panda.
NOT a rebadged Trion, which is being (has been) released separately
is there not something about htc not letting companys like o2 rebadged devices anymore ?
was that not why o2 and tmobile starting getting other suppliers for devices they wanted to be named o2 and tmobile
and why imate was left out in the cold by htc ?
advice plz!!!
hey guys a bit of advice
you lot think i should bother to upgrade with o2 with the orbit or should i go sell the upgrade and then buy the flame?

yep..now the argon users will complain for WM6
But, IMHO, I would really love get this device. You atleast need 3.5" screen to do something useful. It just does not make any sense working on a 2.8" device. Does it?
That is a joke, it looks like they are relying on sentimental reasons to invoke XDA2 users to buy this. With the O2 Flame being launched next week, why would anyone buy this?
There are plenty of online shops who are already taking orders for the Flame - use Australian sites if you are seeking extra security. Retail price online is about 500 quid.
Hi, a lot of conflicting stuff on the Argon so let me set the record straight. It's an HTC Panda badged for O2. It runs on WM5 althought O2 will be rolling out with WM6 in the near future. CPU is 400Mhz Samsung 2442. O2 have a large client base in the UK using the XdaIIi form factor and there has been high demand for continuity since HTC pulled the plug on the XdaIIi. I manage over 800 XdaIIi's and the Argon is key to our future growth until something better with a 3.5" screen comes along.
main thing that o2 are going back to the xda2 style is that also of businesses use the xda2 for tracking things eg taxi`s, dhl etc all have carkits or cradles for them.this is a stroke of genius from o2,wait till you guys see wot o2 have in the next xda pipeline i cant wait...

Call Raisa at OnTheGoSolutions.com and tell her Richard S. in Ohio referred you. I beleive they currently have them in stock. You may pay them a little more but they stand behind and service what they sell. They are in Chicago. Good luck.
Regards,
Raskell
I used On the go solutions too. I paid more...i think the prices have dropped too. But they seem to be a quality company. There is Raisa and then Dovid, you can talk to either one. Dovid, was shocked about me asking about the video driver issue.
I would test it before, because I'm really disappointed. I owned a p3600 before and a lot of other htc-devices and as far I can say the cruise is the worst device I have ever used (to be honest, this will be my last one, too).
I'm not sure, if only my device is that crappy, because it is so damn slow. For example if I want to load the start-menu (the small default one) I have to wait about one minute. To open the program-folder I wait another 30 seconds. Everytime I can watch the cruise painting line after line...
Yesterday I hard reseted the device and I have the same results again.

I just sold my HTC TyTN II (aka Kaiser) and bought the HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris).
It kicks ass

If you're happy with what you have and want to remain happy, then, don't buy it. Otherwise, you'd become like us, scrambling everywhere, looking for something that could make this sucker run, at least, decently the way it was designed for.
look here
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4217394
J&R is a large standard company and they can price match the online store's price too. Try them.
Thinking about buying a Polaris locally and wondering if you guys can give me some tips on what to look for...
How can I differentiate between the NA version and the European version?
Does the base rom come with Voice Command?
Are there various generations? (ie G3 vs G4 for Wizards)
When testing, how long should I wait for the phone to finish booting?
etc...
The guy is selling a Mint condition Polaris for $600 which is very appealing but makes me wonder since the market value is still 650-700. The guy has good refs though which got me talking to him in the first place. I'll be meeting up with him tomorrow so any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of selling my TC. Although I don't know how much I can sell it for. There aren't too many used ones I found like on craiglist to go by so I just listed it at $450obo. Do you guys think thats a decent price or is it over priced? Plus do you think that the fact that I changed the ROM to the light ROM by swtos (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368677)would make it cheaper?
Thanks for your suggestions
Julian
i dont knoow if it would be cheaper but definately NOT more expensive because then that would mean your selling the rom.
450 is prety cheap.
Darn! I should've put more on craigslist then! =)
j/k I stopped using my TC about three weeks ago and bought a Palm Centro. now I'm sick of that phone and just ordered the new N95 so I'm just trying to offset some of the costs...
=)
Also, is there a For Sale section on the XDA forums? I couldn't seem to find one...
Julian
Hi
this is to anyone who is selling a TC, i am interested . But hopefully its a unlocked one and english original rom with it. And better be a 100% working one. Cause I have had it with my orbit 2.
Living in uk. So anyone from uk selling their TC would be great.
PLS pm me if you are interested to sell.
Thank you.
Just spoke to an O2 rep and they said a new phone had just it their system called an HTC HD2 which was due for release towards the end of October.
I was surprised as they have never sold an HTC branded phone before. Also, O2 and their release dates are often way off, I remember phones being pushed months and months based on their original release dates.
Exciting news none the less.
Would be better to post your coment on the same Leo thread insted of creating the 6th thread regarding Leo!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4597999&postcount=165
There is no official Leo thread. Just one stating that it is the first decent phone by HTC in a long time. I did not want to go off topic on that thread as I was not making any comment on how good that phone was.
Perhaps as a Mod you could spend less time picking on long term users and more time creating a Leo section on the site?!?
If this is true it's fantastic news. I was angry they didn't have the TP2 available, only iPhones as an upgrade, but the Leo looks like it will piss all over the TP2.
I'll not have to upgrade to an iPhone, sell it at a reduced rate, and put the money towards the Leo now.
I recently left O2 as there was no TP2 or equivalent. I am absolutely loving my TP2 and (1) I really use the keyboard and so maybe want the phone after the LEO, and (2) its anyone's guess when they will actually release it (o2 that is).
Also, my 18 month contract for my TP2 will finish in february 2011, and so the market should be flush with new WM7 native phones.
So I am not feeling bad about not waiting.

Did exactly the same as you my friend. Left O2 as no TP2. Moved to Orange on an 18 month. Mine finishes March 2011. So as you, Ill get myself a Touch Pro 3 with WM7. I like my keyboard to much to switch to a HD or Diamond.
If you're stuck in a contract you could always sell your existing handset and use the money you raise to buy a new one SIM-free, then continue to use the new phone with your contract SIM.
I prefer to use the network phone insurance as I have young kids who are very adept and getting my phone when I am not looking.
I just find it easier to call up and get a replacement if something happens to it.
Can't really do that if the network has never sold the model of phone I am using.
Looks like we'll be able to get the Leo for free from o2 on a £44 18 month contract according to engadget.

O2 normally rebadge their HTC phones as XDA phones like this one - XDA Guide (aka HTC Touch Cruise 09). A bit of a waste of time and money I am sure. Now that HTC is a pretty main stream brand they are maybe going to just sell them as HTC devices. Here is some more proof by the way, not sure if anyone has posted this but several blogs are showing pics of the latest O2 in store catalogue with a page for the HTC HD2: http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/htc-hd2-makes-first-official-appearance-in-o2-uk-catalog/
Its also coming on T-Mobile and Vodafone according to mobile phones direct :
