QUOTE(benny888 @ Nov 13 2009, 11:35 AM) You want to buy new and get peace of mind - get it from proper shops like PDA expert ( this is the bigger chain ) , Digital Gadgets, PDA gear, FreshGear - all you can get in Low Yat. The price is not much different - if you are good haggler maybe you can get some extra freebies. If you have time to shop around, all these shops maybe you can get possibly RM50-Rm100 discount ( normally cash payment ) off the listed price . Retailing new price i still listed at RM2399.  oh..ok..will take time to walk around  |

I haven't get my HD yet..but there are some questions appeared in my mind..
1. What is cooked ROM? same with flash ROM? 2. What is radio you all discussing? What is the difference between ROM and radio? 3. HD pre-installed WM 6.1 right? is it upgradeable to WM 6.5? officially or what? I hope someone can explain me..so I know what to do when i get my HD  |

Official ROM - is Original ROM from Factory. Flash ROM - mean Reprogram your ROM (OS) just like formatting your PC to new OS. 2. Uprading your Radio ROM will imporve your phone reception and signal. some custom rom has already bond with latest radio rom. 3. HD ROM is WM6.1 , not upgradeable to WM6.5 officially. But there is many Custom WM6.5, just visit XDA Dev. |

Radio is part of the ROM , without the Radio ROM your phone is useless. also each Model and Brand has their own ROM's and Radio ROM's you cant just Flash other ROM's into your HD. |

Apparently launching date in Kl is next week before PC fair. I have already book my unit with Yeap ( http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1222586 ) and hopefully be one of the early birds to have it . For those who have earlier posed questions about the pre launched price, Yeap told me is limited to only 10 units. And the price will remain as posted even if official retail price is higher. If the price is lower , he will reduce it accordingly to match it . I have dealt with Yeap before and I have no worries about him . I also bought my htc HD from him at prelaunch price which was lower than final retail.

Anyway this rom version I have tested only less than a week ( but very satisfying to use ) as I just sold off my htc HD ( restored back to original stock rom ) in preparation for my new buy the htc HD2 |
