I'm contemplating buying a Touch HD. I don't really want to wait until half way through 2009 until WM 7 comes out, or perhaps even later when it is used.
Would it be possible to upgrade OS when WM7 DOES come out? officially or with a ROM upgrade?
Thanks.

I dont know about official ROM from HTC, but I am sure this community will cook it for ya.
Yeah I would bank on the Touch being able to run it. WinMo hardware changes very slowly so specs wise should fall in line with Win7 and dont even get me started on the amount of times ive seen this community churn out roms for devices you didnt think possible
Looks good then just one more nudge toward the buy.... now I just need to get payed lol

How is £522.88 (incl. VAT BUT excl. delivery) cheaper than £525 (no VAT and incl. delivery)????

WM7 = Multi Touch OS Vs Touch HD non multi Touch Screen
WM7 is a multi touch enabled OS. The HTC Touch HD does not have a multi touch screen but I am sure we will be able to upgrade using it as we do with WM6.1.
Do you guys have any idea when WM6.5 is due?

Well you would have to replace the screen physically as it has a capacitive screen and not sensitive... "Touch HD Sense" maybe

they say mid 09... they said it for WM7 also
We still have one year to go before seeing WM7 appear, I am sure we can enjoy playing with a Touch HD meanwhile
considering the touch dual was being used with wm7 in the live mesh ad, I'm guessing that wm7 supplies multi-touch drivers for htc's resistive touch screens
don't take my word for it, though. the HD is a big purchase
Windows Mobile 6.5 confirmed

Software based multitouch?

So can't there be a software based multitouch?

VAT is "value added tax" it is a tax for goods or services rendered from any establishment within the euro zone and its based on percentage of the total value.For buyers outside EU the VAT is not applicable so the total price should not be inclusive of this tax

hi lmf here from singapore...
quite a hype for the htc trinity here but still a question mark on when it will be released here in my country, just wanna enquire has it been released yet anywhere other than ebay? hehe...
the trinity black available http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=HTC _P3600, £449.95...
My good contact at HTC states today I will only be able to buy it in Asia from December, and it will not sport a GPS chip (what an ommission). Of course I would want the all white version, look more stylish and luxurious...at that price!
hmm december will b a good time, heard from my friends it will be available in singapore in Jan 2007, anticipating still...
white looks better than the black version n who knows, other colors might pop up
It should be available in the beginning of November in Denmark. I already pre-ordered the black version in September

800$ (4,745 DKR) here - it cost 852$ (5,067 DKR) now since the price increased shortly after I ordered it. Fortunately I get it to the old price.
A few other dealers can be found here.
The P3300 is also avalable (for preorder) a couple of places - but it costs more than the P3600
BTW a new review is available here - poorly translated by Babelfish

wow that is almost like 1300SGD, quite expected for such a nice device, i believe its almost the same price when the Magician was launched in Singapore quite some time ago... thanks pal, would hope to hear a review from u soon!!!
Amazon Germany has HTC P3600 on the list for around 500 Euro incl. shipping.
Yeah right, 519 euros now. Amazon also offers the...Tytn for pre-order (not out yet), for 619 euros. Hahaha, the boys there have to get their act together.
According to my contact at HTC, there will be two PDAs with the HTC Prophet/Trinity form factor, but the one with more features than the Trinity - will only be released in the spring of 2007. Early adopters will love their Trinity - but miss out on GPS, AKU 3.0, an improved processor and a higher resolution camera. With my Tytn here now, I can wait...
Trinity OS is AKU 3.0:
OS 5.1.342 (build 15096.3.0.0).
Device feels much more responsive than TyTN.

Thanks for the info, good news
@lmf_slacker
My question to HTC was if Trinity would include the latest AKU (3.5 I think), and the answer was "no, sorry". If as per the above post 3.0 is included this would be a step in the right direction, but GPS, USB host and high resolution cam will be added later. You know the game, version I, II etc. And WM 6.0 (Crossbow) will also help sell almost identical plattforms further down the road...

thx for the info lucas, so shall i put it that its not advisable to get the 1st batch of the release then?
As we early adopters know it is never advisable to get the 1st batch of anything, just too many bugs. Depends what one has now. A Tytn in hands is better than a half baked 2007 model, with important 2007 features (GPS, USB host, Wibro, VoIP in ROM etc.) missing.
hmm then i shall wait for the later batch to be release then i will get the Trinity, i believe it will be released in Singapore by Dopod if my info source is reliable hehe
Yes, Dopod is coming with the Tinity as D810
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001703,39272188p,00.htm

Yes but due Thursday 23rd November and just in one color, black. I'd like the white color.
Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?
Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?
When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.
Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD

It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.
Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

Ya I remember the Raphael, that was put back about 5 or 6 times. ended up 4 weeks later than originaly expected
Are HTC doing a big announcement for this phone or are they going to keep it on the DL so that the G1 gets all the publicity and be called an Iphone challenger which it isn't the HD I would consider is.
It HAS been officially released. It was officially released by HTC a couple weeks ago and officially released by O2 in Germany today or yesterday or something. Now, if you mean for sale, it is not for sale yet but will be probably within the week.
who are we looking at for a service provider here in the states?
Probably will start with Sprint as they are the primary carrier of HTC flagship phones. After 30 days or so it will prolly be picked up by AT&T and T-Mobile, then Verizon and Altel.

You have it backwards. Released means for sale and what you said means they officially announced it.
Ah k my bad.
Hey guys... good to see the thread up and running for this great new HTC offering. I will certainly be trading in the Diamond, mainly because battery life and camera but also love the bigger screen and I don´t use the D Pad on the Diamond so better to have more screen space!!
Back to the topic....Do you they´ll release it in Asia first like the Diamond? I remember you could buy the Diamond on Ebay from HK about 4 weeks before the official Europe release.
I think Germany has already gotten first dibs on it. o2 is supposed to be the first carrier to get it.

As told in this Article/review the HD will be sold exclusively by O2 in Germany
http://www.xonio.com/artikel/HTC-Touch-HD-Business-Handy-Praxis-Test_32944215.html
Seems HTC is not only trying to copy Apple in the looks with this device.
All in all the review was very positive... excellent remarks on the improvements of the Touch 3D department...Only shortcommings where the extra costs of GPS software (which i think is positive as now people can decide on which software to buy themselves) and the msiing flash and low resolution video...

Does this mean that HTC itself will not sell the HD in Germany as an unbranded device? There are quite a few shops in Germany accepting pre orders for a German version of the Touch HD ... This seems to be a different approach than Apple Eifön or Google's G1.

Ok here is how it works:
Exclusive does not mean, that a carrier like O2 is the only one who is allowed to sell this device. It only means, that he will be the only one (at least for a given time) who is allowed to offer this as a branded device in combination with a contract or other offering.
So if you are searching for a new contract and want to get an HD with it, O2 will be the only one where you can get it in combination with a contract for a relative cheap price.
But ofcourse, you can buy an unbranded device everywhere and use it with every carrier you like. The same way as every other unbranded phone is sold.
Hope that helps,
Raz
I ordered a Touch HD a couple of days ago at Amazon.de without any delivery date.
Yesterday, they confirmed an early/mid December 2008 delivery date, too late for me.
So I cancelled the order yesterday.
Today, just out of curiousity, I looked up the Touch HD again on Amazon.de and to my surprise, a german company in Munich selling through Amazon.de had the Touch HD in stock but at that time only 4 units remaining.
I ordered one immediately and I hope to get it around Friday.
When I returned back to Amazon around one hour after my order, the dealer had only ONE unit left, so it seems these babies move fast.
Just wanted to let you know that the Touch HD seems to be shipping all around Europe, shouldn't take long until it will be available everywhere(I assume starting with next week or so).
Ah, thanks a lot! I'm interested in getting it at o2, so I think I'll have to wait till the next week or even the week commencing.. But it'll come for sure this month, thats already great news, because its not such a fiasco as with the X1. Can't wait for the HD... Greez, cad^^

and when ich switch to camera mode, there is an area of around 2-4 dead pixels which are always white. they are not dead, as it only happens in the camera mode. i think there is a sensor problem. mhmm strange

Yes your right, but on the other hand, amazon will have it a month from now. that stool ong for me. not to forget: the store i bought it from had no problem taking it back after i called them and told them about the dead pixels.
and: i got the information that the 8GB card is missing in the series they recieved. and immidiatly got a card from them
Good news: The German (not Austrian version of the HD is shipped in Germany this week. So by next week all major retailers and online retailers should have stock. For the price conscious that might be able to wait just a little bit longer, keep in mind that the o2 branded version lists at only 570 euros w/o contract, 299 with Genion L contract.
Today I received an email from o2 Germany and it seems Touch HD will be released in calender week 47 which would be 17.11. earliest. Just to let you know. No pricing information yet.

But as far as i heard, even the free HD they are selling is branded. meaning you can use it with every sim, but the software has got O2 specific branding. Like O2 Homescreen and more. It may not bne possible to get the normal Touchflow screen without overwriting the rom and thus, losing warranty
Yes, just what I wrote and you quote, "the o2 branded version lists...w/o contract" - I meant SIM-free. And judging from my experience with the o2 Trion (Tytn I), if ever one has a warranty issue just put the o2 WinMobile version back on - as long as you dont hard-spl and super-cid it. I dont mind branding anyway, as long as there is no button tying me to the providers internet offerings. And as Touchflow is concerned, it would surprise me if HTC would allow branding to not include it for the sake of a homescreen.
Where is you information from about o2 branding?
as far as I know o2 is not doing any branding on this device.
