Our company uses HTC X7510 in a number of our products (www.loadct.com). I am concerned about current availability. Does anyone know if the PPC is still being manufactured by HTC and, if not, what the current inventory is like? Do I need to start stockpiling in my inventory?
I really doubt it being sold, its so old.
HTC x7510 is out of catalog.
not sure it is out of catalogue - it is still on the UK HTC website
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/advantage/overview.html
plus if you look at the various etailers, you will see it being sold.

I didn't see this reported on xda-developers and somehow missed this in the financial press but it sure looks like good news for all of us since HTC will have a much larger user-base and therefore find it easier to offer upgrades.
The earlier Dopod WM6 upgrade announcement didn't include the Herald but the HTC announcement did so I'm sure we can look forward to a WM6 upgrade for the Dopod C800.
Here's the link to the full news item on the HTC site:
HTC Signs Acquisition Agreement with Dopod International

Holy crap! I thought HTC had a policy of sticking to making phones and letting other brand names brand and distribute? This is good news indeed.
Hi
i was just reading a thread entitled 'are we all running a pirated version of WM6 on our wizards'
and it got me thinking.
theres a legal grey area surrounding xda-devs, namely, the roms that have been placed onto the ftp/forums that are the 'intellectual property' or whatever of microsoft as they were initially intended to be run as 'beta' builds despite being HEAVILY modified by the great members of this community.
so, i thought......
Why doesnt www.xda-developers.com sit down with someone from HTC and similar to how Orange or Cingular are re-branding HTC devices, why don't Xda-Devs setup their OWN OEM company.
HTC *could* (in an ideal world) sell the devices onto xda-devs or an affiliate with the devices set-up as having Super-CID, sim-unlock and being able to run unofficial code on them.
the biggest problem i think HTC have with releasing builds of OS's to the masses is the simple fact that a lot 'joe bloggs'' will ring up MS moaning about how their phone doesnt work...
but, what if the xda-devs company's contract states that the devices are sold with NO support, apart from any support provided from the forums/community at large. this way, nobody would be ringing up HTC as presumably you would have to have found this site, have a little know-how and know what you would be buying from the xda-devs company.
that way, HTC could itself release builds of the OS's to xda-devs for xda-devs to then modify, patch and optimise. this build can then be released to the masses by HTC as a stable build. HTC could as a result of this collaboration sell the devices to xda-devs at a lower cost.
i admit, it sounds a little far-fetched, but im bored and looking for a point of discussion! it could be done though i think, all you'd have to do is find some investors to buy the initial devices to sell- and of course some way to clear this with HTC!
discuss!lol\
While in concept it isn't a bad idea, I've got to point out one major flaw of humanity... our need to place blame.
Selling an unsupported device, be it new or old takes away the ability to blame someone when things go wrong.
However, some sort of support could be offered in the form of:
1. If flashing your device to the original ROM it came with doesn't fix the problem then the issue is 99% of the time hardware related. Call HTC for warranty service, within 1 year of course.
2. I bricked my phone, bootloader doesn't work thus I can't flash it. Same warranty applies.
Anything else is customer's fault, you're on your own.
Of course this could only work with GSM or rather SIM enabled devices. ESN based devices couldn't be part of this venture. Don't know about other CDMA countries out there, but at least in the US Sprint will CATEGORICALLY REFUSE to register an ESN that is not in their database, whereas Verizon will, but you've got to sweet talk the store manager.
Still, even with these little clauses this whole thing is a huge class action lawsuit just waiting to happen.
Although this would be grate for us, as far as the commercial parties are concerned there is a ton of problems with this idea:
a) HTC pays M$ for every copy of WM based on the components they include.
So you still can't legally cook your own ROM.
b) This would get HTC in trouble with every brand and telco they deal with.
c) This will significantly prolong the life of the devices and reduce profits for HTC.
d) xda-dev is not a commercial body and is in no position (I am stating this from what I know of the site, official comment is left to the management) to make any official order for HTC to even consider.
But the project you describe already exists, it just does not run M$ crap:

Class Action wants software fix from HTC
By Tony Dennis: Thursday, 17 January 2008, 2:00 AM
A BIT of a spat has arisen amongst owners of certain recent HTC mobile PDAs and the manufacturer over an alleged lack of a decent driver. The complainers have formed the HTC Class Action organisation.
Given the tone of the site, the group appears to be mainly US based. Their main gripe is that a number of HTC devices based on Qualcomm MSM7200 and MSM7500 chipsets fail to properly use the hardware acceleration provided by the ATI Imageon hardware inside the devices.
In the group's own words, "Even much older devices from HTC as well as from their competitors perform better."
We're talking about how well these devices' graphics capabilities work here, of course.
While the threat of a class action (involving the US courts) by the group appears to be something of an empty one, HTC Class Action does seem to be genuinely offering a reward of over $3,000 to anybody who comes up with the right software fix. That must be worth a punt.
The group also claims that it has put together a petition which has been signed by over 4,000 HTC mobile PDA owners asking the company to resolve the situation.
Given that one of the HTC models in question - the TyTN II – retails at about $700, the group doesn't think this is a trivial complaint.
However, HTC did respond to the INQ with an official statement on this particular problem. It said: "Based on recent customer feedback with regards to video performance, HTC is in the process of investigating and validating these reports and if necessary identifying solutions to rectify any unusual issues."
So the two sides still seem far apart on whether there is a problem to be fixed or not. Perhaps HTC doesn't want to pay ATI unnecessarily? µ
Im so happy that alot of websites are posting these kind of messages! HTC WILL LISTEN!!
this is definitely a good response. Chainfire's decision to start the website really made a big difference.

A good way to put it is "it's like running your Microsoft Windows OS computer in SAFE mode ALL the time".

Hi,
I am planning to replace my Artemis before Dec 2008.
I would like to get a bigger screen like the old XDA, but with the facilities of an Artemis.
This prompted me to ask whether anyone could provide information about what HTC are planning.
Is there a site that might give me a lead?
Lastly, is there an upto date comparison of the HTC models?
Thanks

I've searched these forums and just about everywhere else I could think of for information regarding my question but all I found were bits and pieces and nothing concrete.
I called Verizon today and asked about CPO devices (specifically, WM devices) and the rep I spoke to tried to help me out but I couldn't get much out of her either. What I'm looking for is a HTC WM device available via the CPO program. The only WM phone that she said was available is a Treo Pro (which after researching, wasn't available to consumers before it was retired, only B2B). I've had the 700w and the 700wx and they weren't terrible for their time but I'm not sold on a Treo Pro but the price (149.99) is decent for a no-strings-attached smartphone. I'd prefer something from HTC like the Imagio or the Touch Pro 2 but when I mentioned them (along with their respective model numbers) the CSR responded as if I was speaking another language. Can anyone tell me if there are other WM options available besides the Treo Pro? I absolutely despise the Fathom and WM Standard devices won't cut it. I'm not concerned about cost either.
Before some suggests I look at an Android phone, I don't want one. And before someone then questions why I wouldn't want an Android phone, I've had a few (an Eris, a DROID and an EVO to be exact) and I want to stick with WM for my own reasons related to my Exchange server and things of that nature. Yes, I know Android works with Exchange, just humor me and let me stick with Windows Mobile. Besides, the only [barely] respectable Android CPO available is the original Moto DROID.
If worse comes to worst, I'll check out the Marketplace sub-forum but I'd like to go with a CPO since I can insure it and have a full year warranty on it.
