got my new TD2 today, RM2599, freebies such as car charger, car holder, cheapo sonic gear speaker, and tambah RM35 for sandisk memory card. first impression overall quite happy except the bloody fingerprint all over the phone

congrats on opening this thread.. and congrats to those TD2 owners!! i'll keep an eye on this thread to read reviews, problems and excitement about TD2 ...

TS: maybe u can add your own TD2 photos.. its gonna look more attractive

Alrite, thanks for the advice. I'll put it as soon as possible. Right now, my TD2 is full of finger prints.... ;p

this phone can support garmin rite? goin to buy it next week..want to survey 1st look for cheapest dealer...

one question from a winmo/htc newbie....is flipping the phone to landscape kind of slow? i've use a friend's iphone before and when you flip the phone sideways, the display switch to landscape pretty fast (less than a second) but on the TD2, there seems to be a lag of a couple of secs. sometimes flipping back to potrait mode takes even longer. is this normal?

no it isnt normal. anything running in the background? of course, official rom for windows mobile usually sucks donkeys and laggy. look out for a custom rom on XDA.

this is because WM doesn't have native rotation support so there's basically a program in the background that's polling the sensor to see if orientation has changed and then flip the screen

anybody know what games can be played using diamond2, maybe any reconmendation,,

thanks for the info guys!

i found a program called gyrator 2 that can set the polling duration. it does help somewhat with speeding up the flipping

How come u added RM35 for memory card? I thought they are giving a 4G memory card FOC?
I got mine, Transcend 4G memory card as part of the freebie...
Btw, how does the car charger function? Why mine... the 'neck' part seem cnt be bend?




I have Sudoku, Zuma, Text Twist, Shape Shifter, Bejeweled2, Mummy Maze, Lil Tank, .... All of them installed by PDA Expert upon purchase. In a package.

because i opt for a 8GB one that's why pay extra. my car charger works fine but not the original htc tho. freebies ma:)

btw, can anyone recommend some good software/program to install? i only have garmin and dictionary as i was told that alot of program not compatible yet.

Do you think its worth to get Genuine HTC car charger?

Garmin XT with Malsing Map working great! Due to the first time using WM, i feels that it drains the battery drastically with WIFI On...

I've some good free games posted u can try out. its in the main windows mobile section, sticky thread.

hey guys can recommend any software to monitor internet traffic.. think i surf too much on maxis 3g.. but dont know the usage.

BTW.. i've loving and hating this phone.

bad stuff

1.BAD RECEPTION for wifi and phone
2.stupid winmo does not fully take advantage of the G censor. landscape mode only works with opera.
3. Music software a bit dumb and not intuitive. very cumbersome to add songs. cannot choose music as ringtone. need to manually copy the music file into the ringtone folder.
4. no lock key function.
5. fingerprint magnet
6.expensive...really expensive
7. no 3.5mm audio jack
8. lousy phone case that comes with the unit
9. no short cut to battery indicator

good stuff

1. decent battery life 1.5 days - 2 days on average use..
2. stylish
3.alphanumeric keypad for all application makes the user experience similar with normal phone.
4. improved interface compared to normal winmo which are much more touch friendly.
5. exchangeable battery and expandable memory (unlike iphone)
6. stock tab very useful
7. excellent web browing experience.
8. pocketable size


i guess the weakness of this phone is the operating system itself...die winmo..die..

Changing it to poll more often just means that you're asking the processor to do more work, more work = less battery life.

So you have to ask yourself, do you really NEED it to rotate the moment you flip it?

Added on May 15, 2009, 3:53 amLet me help with some of your problem bengjiun

1. Yeah, it sucks ass.. there was that new ROM, but it got pulled after being released for a while.
2. By default HTC only set the thing to autorotate in Opera and when typing SMS, there's a program that allows you to configure which other apps will be autorotated. But since I didn't download it I can't remember the name right now. Let me check and see. here we go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991 I haven't used it myself so not sure how well it works but people on the thread seems to be saying it works well.


3. I guess if you keep your music on the main device you need to copy the file to the ringtone folder, the songs I use for my ringtones are scatterd around my memory card and I can choose them from the UI
4. Always wondered why people need the lock key for a PPC since the screen is off when it's stand by and the power button isn't easy to hit (ok.. stupid pouch makes it kinda easy to hit) but.. Programs Menu -> Settings -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons -> End Key and you can set it so that holding down the hang up button locks the phone
5. why is it that shiny stuff always attracts oil?
6. ......
7. yeah.. but it's easy to find a converter, one of them comes 'free' in the speakers that came 'free' with your phone.
8. it's not a case, it's a tube with a piece of cloth on the other end!
9. Yeah hate the fact they removed a way to see the battery indicator by tapping the top.

Hope that helps make you enjoy your D2 a little more

Game: I recommend NFS Undercover with g-sensor

Soo.... who have HardSPL'ed their D2?

Hello folks, I wonder if any of you have purchased the alternate matte battery cover ? Couldn't find it in the UK I'm desperate for one as my colleague dropped my phone and end up having a tiny scratch on the back cover ! I went up to slashphone.com however it didn't mention where I could get the replacement cover. HTC UK site doesn't have it either. Can anyone help ?

Added on May 15, 2009, 5:48 amCan I ask what version of garmin are you using on TD2 ?How is it like overall? I'm yet to try out the gps ! As far as I concern, the tomtom fails miserably ! Only a few, like IGOR, Copilot and Garmin works. I'm deciding between garmin and Copilot.
