Hi Any ideas how I can my hands on a HTC Titan or Tiatn II in South Africa? HTC apparently won't launch until Apollo is available. I can get the Nokia Lumia 800 now which is great, but I need a larger screen.
Thanks Calli
Interested too
Hi calli
If and when you find out anything about the availability and pricing of the HTC Titan 2 in South Africa, I would be very keen to know. Seems that Leaf have absolutely zero going on at their website, and I don't know who else would be the agents.
Have you thought about the Lumia 900?

Yes definetley , but unfortunately there is no definitive date when and if the Lumia 900 will be launched in South Africa either. At least Nokia supports Windows Phone 7.5 fully, unlike HTC whose primary focus is Android. Leaf claim they are waiting for Apollo before they launch the Titan. Question is how well will they support WP 7.5?

Well at last, looks like the makers of all previous incarnations of the XDA (XDA1 to XDA2i an 2s as marketed in the UK) are ready to release this to the world later this year, so I reckon this is the proof that many of us suspected anyway, this will be the XDA3! I guess this also means that we are never gonna get upgraded officially to WM2005 on the 2i or 2s.........hey ho....2003se seems ok so far.
http://www.htc.com.tw/news/index.html
Already announced as the MDA IV too - so the question is, will O2 call it the XDA IV or confuse the easily confused by having a IIi and a III?
I think O2 deliberately held off using the '3' so that they could use it on the first 3g device.
It would make a good name - XDA 3G
looks good..but
the only problem i think i will have is the thickness of it as it has a keyboard and prom the pix it looks pretty fat to be honest. also any1 no exactly when it comes out?..thinking of getting one
tried one of them 2 weeks ago - and it is really big!
bigger than the Blue Angel - and for me as a MDA Compact fan, just not the right device.
I don't want to have a small laptop with build in UMTS.
I want to have a mobile device like the Compact, with a video cam and build in UMTS.
The keyborad and additional space is just grap.
Just take a look at the number of sold Blue Angels vs Compacts/minis - the rate at T-Mobile is 1:4
1:4 it's just the ratio of people that need wifi on their usual day of work vs the ones who don't need it and are happy with something sticking out of their magicians...
XDA3 - MDA4 Unversal etc
Spoke to a contact at at o2 in the UK, and he reckons they aint gonna get the universal...............no idea why as they carry the X phone which is 3G, maybe a licensing issue in the UK, now that Vodaphone - Orange etc have jumped on the bandwagon and stolen o2's thunder in the last year or so....Its a great shame as without the foresight of o2, many XDA users wouldnt have been able to get one in the UK............................Come on o2, sort it, I hate orange and vodafone!
the whole reason O2 messed with the XDA II IIi IIs names is so the XDA4 would be called the XDA3 here, for 3G.
they WILL release it.
Just reallllllly laaaaaate.

no it won't. if me sources are correct, they will imate to market.
if o2 dont carry it then cant people just buy the imate or qtek versions they are as a rule not locked at least my qteks never were then people can put in their o2 sim and all will be well
well I am delighted to have been mis informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like the xda3 (named EXEC) will happen in the uk from o2! sometime in September
PS Thanks to pjcltd and his info!
hi all,
I come from Vietnam and I am going to Singapore some day - I would like to buy HTC Cruise, could you tell me where can I buy it in Singapore?
Thanks in advance
I can't guarantee it, but I'd bet for sure that one of the many stores in the Funan Digital Life Mall (between Raffles Plaza and the Boat Quay) would have them in stock by now...

You can try the following shops. Us locals in SGP have found them reliable but as always use common sense when buying stuff on holiday:
http://www.whymobile.com/
http://www.mobilesquare.com.sg/
Cheers
Thanks, I got address and will come there to buy it. Thannks a lot
Touch Cruise is in high demand recently and all the 3 major telcos are out of stock at the moment.
I bought mine during last weekend's IT Show at S$1198
MobileSquare sells it for $1050 but it is currently out of stock too, though they did mention they currently have 2 2nd hand units for sale at S$900

avoid any window based phones/gadgets - Microsoft known for having great ideas but NO follow-up. For example - HD DVD(discontinued) and Zune(purchased one promised from Microsoft to have apps and full support) two years ago - now brink of extinction with only 10 apps in Zune Marketplace ......

28 Games and 14 Apps for a devices that was never meant to be an application-based device shows pretty good support in my books.
The Zune HD is a media player, not an app device like an iPod touch and was said to be so on many occasions by Microsoft.
Why are you posting that question in this thread? You should make a separate one.
As for the question, I saw this and I'm glad it is finally coming; back when the HD7 came out for Tmobile iI liked the design and screen size but windows mobile 7 is just too simple for me.

Its basically a refresh of an 8 month old phone same as the htc inspire was old tech.
Doing know why att is trying to get us to buy such old tech instead of selling us something new.

My sentiments pretty much the same. The HD7 was nice, the HD7S would be nicer. But the new tech with NFC and front facing camera, higher res displays, dual core CPUs and all that should be arriving around the first half of next year precludes any hardware purchase right now.

way to take an april1st joke serious a day after
I love WP7 but this is sort of a huge **** you to all their loyal T-mobile customers. Despite the buyout the HD2 and HD7 were the T-mobile phones to have. Now they took away T-mobiles biggest hardware selling point and the only reason to jump onboard T-mobile now is data packages. WP7 > android, that is all.

This isn't a joke, the HD7S was announced at CTIA and the thread was started on the 21st of March.

It's not a joke. It was over Engadget. The HD7S is, unfortunately, real.
Hi all,
I see the prices for the Pro 7 have gone down dramatically (just CHF 316 today!) and I'm getting tempted to get myself one.
But I need to be sure there will soon or later be the Mango update possible.
Can someone tell?
is no reason to mango not come for 7 Pro...
Microsoft have said that all current phones will get the update...
...I was tempted too far when it was on offer here for £220 (as opposed to £440!)
Interestingly, no other website apart from ebuyer seems to be putting any discount on the Pro 7 in the UK, so maybe it's got a strange demand pattern...
^ I noticed it on ebuyer too. I was tempted, but don't have the funds in my bank.
[edit]
I bought it..

Thanks, didn't know. Wow, 220£ is even cheaper; is this offer still ongoing?
today, the 7 pro is at 250€ on cdiscount (an important french website); it's far less than other WP7, why?

Right, even the Desire Z is at only 269 on the same shop. Maybe because devices with keyboards are niche products. They probably got stocks to get rid of before a new release. Beside, hardly anyone wants WP7.
Now do I buy one or not; this is the question...
I have HTC 7 Pro and HTC Desire Z from HTC polish distribution (no branding). HTC 7 Pro is very professionally done in comparison with Desire Z. keyboard slide mechanism is a brilliant and solid, and Desire Z is too loose and underdeveloped. Besides is a two different systems so do not compare, depends on what someone more fit. In Poland HTC 7 Pro is cost about 1500 pln =~ 378 euro and ~334 pounds but HTC Desire Z about 1100 pln = ~ 278 euro and ~ 245 pounds.
Play.com also have it for £219.99
Very tempted at that price!
o2 Germany offers it for 241€ quite some time now. If only there was a way to run Android on it...
no need to run android on such a great device that has the mango beta out now and the official version within 2 months. wp7 mango is far superior to android and iOS.
I am in the UK and know the Sprint Version is getting WP7.5 from the sounds of it, can we be sure that HTC will update the 7 Pro?
I'm replacing my Defy for a 7 Pro
Yes- it isn't up to HTC whether it gets an update, Microsoft manage updates for nonbranded devices, and they have already said that all existing devices will be getting a Mango update.

I definitely got tempted - for £220 from Handtec its a steal.
Buying for my father who's nearly 70 - no need for customising/unlocking. And WP7 is a lot easier to use than Andoid. All the complicated stuff we're into here at XDA ain't for everyone!
No need for a car kit either - the daft sod's getting banned for speeding an' all
I got my from o2 DE (240 euro).
Mango Beta 2 is running fine, also with Jailbreak. HSPL is running, so i could debrand from o2 to HTC Europe.
So, would anyone have a date in mind for me to be able to install the official mango update for me HTc 7 Pro device?
I am loving WP so far, and am very anxious after reading all those positive experiences of people that are already running Mango.
I would like to stay before the point of NoDo however and wait for the the official update (but im just impatient ).
When I was in Germany for that last 2-3 months, I went to Media Markt (in Augsburg) to check out the cool stuff there, and that's where I found an amazing discount for the HTC 7 Pro.
It dropped from 449 euros to 249 euros, and the guy told me that the offer will finish very soon, I was curious why the 7 Pro is the only WP7 device that had such a discount, but ignored my fears and purchased it right away
Later when I went on a trip to Stuttgart, I went the Media Markt branch over there and found that the price dropped again, it dropped to 229 euros !
I like it so much and I dev unlocked it (legally), the only thing I hate about it is that its keyboard layout is German (Y & Z are switched, and other minor stuff), but I'm getting used to it
Oh, and I can't wait to upgrade it to Mango once it's officially available
It seems to have gone up again here in the UK, and then most websites are out of stock.
HTC 7 PRO delayed
Just talked to HTC support, and the 7 Pro Mango is not yet ready for release... They tried but failed at installing Mango onto the device.
I'm afraid we need to be more patient than others... Jason?!?! HELP!!! ;-)
Paciencia = Paz y ciencia... Repeat after me...
Sorry but WTF ?
I have since yesterday Mango 7720 oficial update by Zune for my HTC 7 Pro unbranded.
Hey! Orange in my country trying to sell all theyer HTC 8X, so they sell the device $ 250 + - I think it's a great price. I wanted to know your opinion on the device (the device is not locked). I know sadly it can't load android on it. yet i was wondering could i install ubuntu touch on windows 8 phone?. other then that as far as i know the costumestion on the windows 8 is quite minimal, but well for the price i think it sould be ok (moving from iphone 4 was thinking to get some low priced android like xiaomi with the snap dragon cant get NEXUS 4 in israel no google store :/)

I regret purchasing my 8x instead of a nokia. The nokia has the better camera and better apps.
8x pretty much has no development going on at all. We don't even have a generic US rom available yet.

Hey it look like you'r issues is with the 8x not with the Windows phone OS so im guessing its fine by me, like i said a new 8x for lass then 250$ while the nokia lumia 920 cost in israel around 650-700$. for that price i would get an amazing android phone....
you'r talking about "rom" for the 8x i just wonder is it somting that the provider is installing over the stock windows 8? as in israel one can not sell LOOKED phones all phone must work with all providers. not realy sure what you are saying about "rom" with windows 8? isn't it somting that bilong to MS?
tnx

I love the windows phone OS
i'm just so disappointed with the lack of development for the 8x. It has already reached EOL and we have nothing for it.
I might flip it on ebay for $200 depending on how much the new nokia 925 costs when it's released in the US
