Can anyone point me in the right direction for an unboxing movie.... or list the box contence.
Mine is coming on Monday but I just can’t wait.
To be entirely honest I still can't believe that "apparently many people SAY" they have one and yet I can't find an unboxing video for it.
http://www.msmobilenews.com/windows-mobile/reviews/htc-touch-cruise-review.html
There seems to be an unboxing but this (I’m hoping) is the demo pre-release version I’m guessing the massive tell - tell sign being the hole on the back.
I've recorded my box on video. It's being processed by YouTube right now, title "HTC Touch Cruise Unboxing". It was taken with my own TC, two things to note: it's obviously the unboxing "preview" you wanted, and you can also see the awful frame rate on this thing...
Oh yeah, never mind what I'm saying, just blabbering
It’s alright mate, thanks. its much appreciated.
btw can you quickly list the contense of the actually retail unboxing? And if possible the link to your you tube video?
Thank you.
YouTube video just in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuM_-yalUpo
It's actually just a preview of the box, not so much to see.
Contents:
The HTC Touch Cruise itself
Good manual
Screen protector
Small pouch + extra stylus
Battery
Charger
USB Cable
2 CD's (1 for extra software like TomTom, 1 for drivers and Windows moblie and such (I guess, didn't check really))
Quick Start guide
Some extra flyers (some from HTC, TomTom, local resellers)
I think that pretty much sums it up
Ok cool, thank you so much. if u were a woman and in front of me I would have no problems in hugging you with glee lol.
I was really just hooked about the case, well more like slightly worried as all the other touch devices have a case of some sort.
Anyway if it is not too much trouble is the case like the one from the first touch or the one from the touch dual.
Once again, Thank you.
I’ve just seen it. Thank you so much it was only 44 seconds but now I REALLY can't wait until Monday.
I have no clue whether it resembles the Touch (Dual) boxes.
You're welcome, and I'm NOT a woman, so a pat on the shoulder should suffice
I understand how it feels having to wait for the ultimate package Been there lately
Trust me, it's worth waiting for, especially if HTC is going to release the GPU drivers, then the speed thing would be solved too...
lol well a pat it is then...
ive had to put up with the eten glofiish x800 it s was OK and that about it. good screen.
i meant case as in its protective pouch btw but ive seen a few pics now. unless the one i saw was an after market one.
anyway thank you so much you've provided a real service
really have made my day
once again thanks.
You're welcome. The pouch is nothing compared to what you see online, its just a bag with a strap at the top to close it, like a garbage bag, but then smaller, containing your TC and in soft tissue
Sorry to hear bout the X800, I wonder where everyone gets the money to buy *multiple* pda's... (and phone and gps i know )
Meh. Well the x800 was a bit on an experiment for the IT department I work in. unheard of going for something so untested but someone has got to test it. I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes that made them say "I want my employees to work with sheer crap" but it happened, anyway I'm giving it back soon, like I said it was ok, a bit like paper, you use it every day but you never truly take any notice of it.
Ye as I suspected the one I saw was an aftermarket one, looks like HTC just took it off the touch dual. It’s slightly disappointing I was looking to have a rubberized case like the one from the touch.
Yeah, unfortunately, the TC comes shipped with a very limited set of accesoiries, in contrast with previous devices, for that price!!

You’re absolutely right and it’s appalling.
I know it’s a really good device but I still feel like for my money there should be more production value.
Oh and Tracy and matt's blog has now got an unboxing of the pre-release version... it seems funny that it only comes out now as people are receiving their devices.
OK, I know it's not a G-Tablet, but all of the talk (before Christmas) around getting refurb/returned devices from the Sears outlet kind of made this appropriate:

Then again, most of us would re-flash anyway...
Big John
Shoulda' bought an iPad. Steve-O wouldn't let those nasty little porn demons into your home. He knows what's best for you.
See I read it differently. What they saw as scandal I saw as an upgrade.
Perv Pad. Lol, that made my night. Oh, and Cognac.
Just watched a video on youtube showing an iphone with wireless charging!
Cant post a link so search 'new iphone 5 with wireless charging' to find it.
The video had distorted sound but you can see the phone charging wirelessly.
Is this the new iphone?? when is it coming out??
gessmil 534,
Hi, there are no known facts about new iPhone... not yet
So, anything you saw on the internet is most likely fake and fan fiction
You are such a douche
XDA should really have an intelligence test before letting idiots like you sign up.That'll stump you'll more than a Captcha.
Coming out tomorrow at eleventy o clock.my dog works at apple and he told me.

HAHAHAHAAHHAAA!!!! That's not nice, but funny as hell.
Judging by the hasty replies, I assume no one actually bothered to look at the video.
On youtube, the title is: New iPhone 5 with wireless charging built in
Have a look for yourself before spewing out the smack talk. The guy is putting the phone on a dock I've never seen before and it starts charging.

Look kid, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the video you saw was a fake. Apple does not leak anything about their phones or devices. Do you remember when the iPhone 4S came our? Yeah well there were 100's of videos on the net claiming to have the inside scoop on the new iPhone but all were wrong, except for a small few that guessed right.
Anyways, the point I'm making is that most XDA users are not so gullible to fall for these videos. And when you open up a thread in the "General" section for everyone to see about this topic, expect some negative feedback from naysayers.
That can't be the iPhone 5. Its not announced yet, only rumours of its specs. About wireless charging, I think there are accessories available to do that with any or most of the phones.
It's either just a video playing on the phone or they used an HP/Palm Touchstone with a conductive back on the iPhone to charge it. Whether or not it's real (which it's probably not), this is nothing groundbreaking. The first Palm Pre could do this, and other phones like the Evo have been modded to do this.

I almost believed you until it was the dog talking. There are only a few talking dogs and Steve Jobs has a cat lover no dogs allowed at Apple.
Doesn't sound like Apple's MO.. to release a product with pre-loaded features.. maybe an upgrade but I doubt it will come with the capability..
I understand that these forums are most likely largely male dominated and some of my male friends were disgusted when seeing what I recieved today (and females)... but there are so many viewers there's got to be some girls out there alike myself who would go for this sort of thing~
I received this today:
http://imgur.com/a/GM7GD#0
I found it while contemplating getting one of these:
http://www.facebook.com/SoTotallyLame
But since they were too expensive I went for a cheap asian alternative.
Pros:
Very cute, ridiculous etc.
Your phone looks edible.
Good build quality - these bits of candy won't be coming off any time soon
Cons/practicalities:
Makes your phone a lot heavier (1.5x?)
Because it's so fat and heavy, it's a lot more difficult to handle the phone than not having it
Difficult to press the power button
The material they made the cream out of and a few other things is a bit sticky, so lint and dust will easily cling to it
Just looking at it will make you crave candy
I'm definitely going to use this for a few days to see how it goes.
It was roughly $20, took 2 weeks to get to me (1 week before I was expecting it). It came in a delicate white bag was well packaged. It had a nauseating plasticy smell.
Anyway, for those who are interested, here are all the cases in the store for SGS.
http://stores.ebay.com.au/directstation-aus/_i.html?_nkw=i9000&submit=Search&_sid=1029916421
If anyone has found them cheaper, please tell me!

You've got a very frilly sense of feminity, sister. Anyway, you can buy cases like this in FocalPrice (cheap, no shipping fees) or DealExtreme. Like this one:
http://www.focalprice.com/MSA11X/Cute_White_Cream_Red_Ribbon_Strawberry_Cake_Phone_Protective_Back_Case_Cover_for_Samsung_i9000.html#.UGhuYYgqdUA
For reference, something like this:
http://www.focalprice.com/MSC31B/Butterfly_TPU_Back_Case_for_Sumsung_i9000.html#.UGhvaogqdUA
is the girliest I'd put on my phone.
it looks nice but i dont think it will be suitable for daily use does it? it would make the phone more bulky and it wont be comfortable on hand (for me at least)
It's funny I actually like most feminin accessoires like this case, however from a professional point of view it's pretty much frowned upon if you have your "own style". It's different if you are in an artistic field of work, but choice is pretty limited for men in usual life.
Like this pink case for example;
http and the : and the // and then the link: cdn2.mobielbereikbaar.nl/product/OX11365740/accy-flip-case-genuine-leather-pink-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-i9001-galaxy-s-plus_0 and then add .jpg
really liked it for it's colour. I'm just a straight male guy, and I bought the black version for above reasons, but I actually like the pink one more, just for its colour . It's easy to say "to do as you like and don't mind what others think", which may be true if you are in high school, but it has its consequences in life for 18 and up.
ADD: you can't post links if you have less then 10 posts , and I do not like I need to spam before I can just USE the forums
The 10 post rules is there to stop the annoying spam bots. Don't worry, you will exceed 10 posts in no time

Yeah, one-handed calling is a definite no-no. I tried my ASUS TF700T phone in a full train compartment, but all my fellow passengers were looking at me in a funny way. That might have been me almost screaming to get any reception in the microphone of the 700, though. Also, they could probably hear the conversation better than I did, the speaker being at the back of the phone and all.
Huh?

Ummm...glad that you are happy with it.
What you can do with it is:
Web browse
Read books
Take pictures
Shoot video
Write letters
E-mail send and receive
Play a game
Watch streaming video
Jot down hand written notes
Store files from a PC
...just a few things you can do
I don't believe you can actually use it for a phone.
Have fun with your device.
The Asus TF700, the latest phone for giants, mountains and skyscrapers.

Anyone tried bluetooth for talking on the phone with tf700?
I can't see why it wouldn't assuming you have the 3g model. I've connected with a jaw bone hands free a few times for Skype etc

I've actually seen people do it. I always smirk when they try and take an artsy photograph with it -- last summer, I was witness to a group of Japanese tourists snapping pictures of the animals in a large zoo in Amsterdam (Artis, for the Dutch). Hilarious.
For the sake of information and blowing off some quirkyness: before my eye surgery, I had great eyesight and lugged around a D90 with glass in abundance on trips like that. No way I'm taking pictures with a tablet -- that would feel like being recruited into a police riot squad and getting your equipment, then noticing the rather disconcerting likeness of your baton to a large German sausage and your riot shield's resemblance to an American pizza... until you realize that they are, actually, a German sausage and a big-wheel pizza.

That... doesn't always go so well. Some idiot did that at the zoo in Dresden, too. All fun and games... Until he dropped his iPad 3 in the water at the flamingo habitat.... Then I was the only one laughing :silly:

Shooting video with a tablet is kind of sneaky and cool tho...
A lot people don't know tablets can be cameras.

Thanks, regard that as a compliment.
I was surprised to learn that in some countries it is actually against the law to have your digital camera not make a fake shutter sound when photographing. That seemed jaw-droppingly stupid -- as I've always hated people with digital shutter soudns, as well as people having keypad sounds on their phones (makes dialing go "beep-beepbeeeeeepbop-booop-beepbeepbeep-baab). The latter class also talks so loud when in phone conversation that there's no place to hide on the commute. I can still hear them on the other end the train -- until it was put forward that, seemingly, a high percentage of silent cameras was used to make up-skirt photos and such. Seems I missed the point entirely in having a silent camera, since I've been making pretty "decent" pictures of flowers and animals and such. There's no eroticism in that, unless you have some specific kind of sexual deviation.
I've actually used the TF700 as a phone on several occaisions with GrooveIP. It's actually pretty nice with a bluetooth headset, but I'd never put it up to my face because a) can you imagine the nasty cheek grease? and b) no proximity sensor to turn the screen off.

That might actually be an advantage: currently it's freezing over here in Holland. If I'd put the screen brightness on high and just pretend to be on the phone with somebody, I'd at least have half of my face warmed up comfortably. I wouldn't worry that much about people looking, because they probably think I'm retarded anyway.
Well, I suppose you could do VOIP through your tab. Skype and such would be a way, but that doesn't count as a telephone.

Seriously? That's ridiculous. If you have such a problem with people taking picture up your skirt, pay some bloody attention to your surroundings, it's not hard, or simply don't wear a frikkin skirt. I never saw the point of them.
Yes, let's put the sound back on our shutters. Because it's such a good plan to use a shutter sound when photographing a herd of, say, deer. Scares the bloody sh*t out of them, forget about making a second shot. Not to mention butterflies, cats... And don't get me started on people. Taking urban snaps is pretty much pointless if everyone goes either looking straight at you to see what you're doing, or runs away because they're camera shy. Evidently laws are made by morons.
That's why I'm always in the silent coupé. No idiots on phones

Simple solution: use a real phone on your other ear - or even better: buy another TF700 and use that.
1 TF700 .... $ 700
Another TF 700 .... $ 500
Seeing the faces of the people around you: priceless
