SIS : about RM 2800-2900
AP :  About RM 2400 - 2500

Used less than 6 mths : About RM 1800- RM 2000

SIS is the main  authorised reseller/distributor of HTC ; infact SIS is the bigger boy here. People are more comfortable buying from SIS because of warranty issues as SIS has own service centre and if you need to send in your phone for warranty - it's supposedly less hassle free and quick servive as they have parts/technicians to attend to it

AP sets are sets imported in by other companies and their phones distributed through many phone dealers. If your set has warranty issues, most of these company will direct your sets back to either HTC ( KL ) or SIS for service/repair; so you'd expect slower service support here.

So you just got to figure out whether you want to save few hundred ringgit buying AP ??

So far my experienced with AP sets very good - only 1 case,  I return for warranty and got it back 2 weeks later. However my experience with SIS not so good, for last 2 years I return 3 units for warranty claims but service was good and I got my sets back within 3-5 days.

My advise if you want to buy AP - buy it from the bigger shops and make sure is a sealed box and open infront of you. There are quite a few unscrupulous smaller shops that will change some of  the items - chargers, cable, batteries to generic quality to unsuspecting customers

Best source freeware and paid programs : www.pocketgear.com - I download practically all the freeware and purchased software from this site - is very reliable ( purchasing is a breeze - you download and you get acknowledgment and serial codes within few minutes ). Another site is www. handango.com

If you are asking for "ahem" sources of cracked/pirateware - sorry not allowed to ask and  discuss in the forms

hi .. just got new htc touch pro2 today ..

bought it RM2650 sis unit .. is it worthy ? how much is market out there ? i din do survey ....

just love it when i am go on testing the pda

Good price - does it come with 8 GB micro SD card . Is the supplied firmware WM 6.1 or WM 6.5

If it is at WM 6.1 - upgrade - it is FOC at htc.com the official WM 6.5 version

If you are now on WM 6.5 highly recommend you flash to one of the cooked roms ; the default WM 6.5 and 6.1 rom , very poor memory management. You'll notice if you multitask and browse few sites same time, the memory utilizations goes up very fast up tyo 80-90 % , meaning you need to clean ram or soft reset often
Of all my WM PDA phones I ahve ever used, this TP2 is the easiest to flash new roms and restore back to stock rom

Coreplayer is very good ; I find it plays all my avi movie very well ; I have no complains

If you are still on the original rom, is normal that memory utlisation will goes up very fast - that is why we used cooked roms which can give us an extra 10 to 20 % extra free memory. Use clean ram to clear your memory or soft reset if you notice memory has built up. It does not means that when you closed a program, all the memory used is released

Garmin pickup 5 minutes is indeed very long ; mine pickup within less than a minute ; usually about 10-15 sec. Never had experienced in car problems as you said ; infact once the GPS signal is pickup even if I leavr the phone on the middle console between the seats the Garmin ( including Mapking too ) can still monitor my travels.

By the way I never install the hotfix as my GPS was working very well ; why fix if isn't broke ?

I  experienced some problem ( but not in car ) yoiu mentioned iabout GPS pickup poor intermittently in my last HD in the second month of use ( AP set ) and the motherboard was replace free of charge as I was told GPS chip embedded cannot be repaired.
