wtf.... still releasing QVGA... hope this is the last QVGA device

but i notice htc looks like not making VGA anymore, directly goes to WVGA, so low end shld go VGA liao.

another QVGA Android



HTC TATTOO




Attached thumbnail(s)

and still no Snapdragon processor

well... it look kinda nice =)
but abit sick of WinMo .. it is quite slow compare with andriod n apple

look is ok but QVGA abit put me off.

Hi Bro, can help to explain reasons QVGA puts you off? Is touch HD QVGA also? I am planning to get one...

QVGA = Quarter Video Graphics Array display with 320 × 240 resolution.

HTC HD resolution is WVGA = Wide VGA

google around you will find the answer.

if the price is maintained below RM1k, i'm fine with it.

hi all, i tot the hardware should have wait for the software to release 1st?
how come the phone is release in Thailand oredi ?

i tot WinMo 6.5 only will out on 6th this month? how come the phone is available in Thailand now?

touch 2 got promotion

http://mytechnews.info/b/wp-content/upload...omo-offer-2.jpg

Anyone went to sunway pyramid and bought it for rm559?

me. reach there 6.30am. Shit 90++ people Queuing up. I give up waiting untill 11am.

really that many people???

The reason why this is QVGA is because this is technically an "Entry Level" Windows Mobile phone. Of course... it still sports the HTC PRICE. If you look around you'll know that these specs

- 528Mhz
- 256MB RAM
- QVGA
- GPS
- 3G
- etc etc

Forms the lowest rung of Windows Mobile devices, and some of them *cough* Not HTC *cough* have quite competitive prices. The claim to fame for this phone is that it's one of the first ones that come with WM 6.5 preinstalled.

But... For one GLARING mistake by HTC (which in my book is never able to make a perfect device, must be the Apple syndrom) I wouldn't really recommend this phone to people.

The Touch 2 ONLY has QWERTY keyboard input. HTC REMOVED THE PHONE PAD INPUT TYPE! You can imagine how small a QWERTY keyboard will be on a 2.8" QVGA screen!

This is usually not a problem since you could just switch over to the phone pad and entered words like a normal phone. BUT... by removing the Phone Input Pad HTC has basically condemmed the Touch 2 to input hell since only the most dextorious of fingers would be able to properly type on the QWERTY keyboard on that small screen.

Hmmm.. maybe HTC removed the Phone Pad because of the Apple syndrom as well? Thought that if a keyboard only was good enough for the iPhone it'll be good enough for the Touch 2 without thinking of the implications.

i was there on the first day. one of the lucky people to get it @ RM560. now playing my heart out with it. so far the touch experience is fluid and responsive. luv it!

hi falconhour, what time you went there to queue?

1559 or 559? if it's under 600 it's a super bargain.

its goin for RM560 actually, not RM559. hence if u noticed on the other thread, apparently ppl are queuing up there since 8.30pm for tomorrow's 65 unit run already!

Gosh that's one hell of a bargain! Darn, I think it's too late to be the next 65 lucky owner.

the crowd exceeded 100+ by the time i reached at 1am.

The event was a complete screwjob.

I started a new thread to gather any issues faced by forumers screwed over by the mismanagement, as well as links to lodge complaints to HTC and Microsoft's top brass etc.

I joined the crowd waiting last night. There were around 30++ people then.

I didn't get the phone because the organizers had not a single clue on how to manage a crowd and how to handle such an event.

Anyone know where to buy the screen protector for this model?

RRP 1599 for this piece of 'junk' ?
i think the diamond is a much more better device than this..
no secondary cam & 240 x 320 pixels QVGA

like i mentioned previously. entry level windows phone, htc price.

Does anyone know how to change the SMS input method to the alphanumeric keypad from the screen qwerty mode?

lol.. if can buy with promotional price rm560 maybe worth
but if buy with 1k, i dont think so

yeah i wanna find screen protector too.. hmm.

yea, im searching for the screen protecter or whatever protector for this model too...

btw, im facing this wifi problem. i cannot connect to the wireless network at home which is secured by password. and i can connect to the open netwrok. is it something to do with the password thingy, may be the configuration of wimax. or the router problem.

i key in the correct password, but still cannot connect to the network. somebody pls help me.

new user?? report now. adding the list now.. please pm me so i could update user list here.

@josephcan,

Anyone use this phone and encountered with any problem so far? I plan to buy touch cruise 09 before but just notice that HTC come out his touch 2 and the price is cheaper, these 2 phones have almost the same spec but touch 2 is using winmo 6.5, have to think twice before i buy the phone.

good price from ebay, at R>6.99 you get 2 piece and free shipment to malaysia too.

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/2-mobile-phone-LCD-...id=p3286.c0.m14

i'm the lucky 65 too. i went there on the 2nd day .yeah. love my touch 2 sooooooo much

Hi guys! Bought HTC Touch2 for my wife
and she likes it despite the negative feedback.

As they say, one's man meat is another man's
poison" hehehe. Hope got the saying right.

anyone facing the charging problem??
charge till 80% then jump back to 10% isit problem???

same problem here...supposed to be fully charged dy but jump back to 10%...

i try to turn off and on back again... only then it show 100% charged.

same to my sister's unit.

omg i think got problem liao lo......
who got call sis??

My touch2 phone got disconnected itself while i talking on a incoming call, then the phone show "1 missed call" on the notification. I have encountered this problem few time which make me frustrated. Anybody else have this problem also?

Another question i have here is how to use the stylus to select the whole word/section to delete while i typing sms? I can use the stylus to drag and select the words thay i want to delete or copy in "Notes" but i cant not do this when i write sms. Anybody can help on this?

You ppl r lucky... I have an SH fren who bought this phone for RM1899 inclusive of 8gb card in LY... kena conned already.... damn...

OMG... almost a second hand Touch Pro2... to bad for him...

Sigh.... somemore he yaya infront of me during TT... I don't dare to tell him he got conned....

Add me to the list also ...HTC Touch 2 owner. So far don't have any issue with it..waiting for the accessory to arrive before i could use it further .
@jjosephchan90,there is a soft reset button near the stylus (remove cover to reset but beware as it might erase all the data in the pda :3)
speaking of the PDA, i saw a shop in Subang Parade selling it for the same price too (it's not officially out on the market yet ;D)
btw Wifi works fine here should be your setting issues. and also for those having issue, most likely it's the rom that is not fully mature yet (HTC's first WM6.5 mah)

Mine was bought from Fresh Gear,LY at RM1599.00,plus 4gb,screen protector and in-car charger as freebies.Installed the malsing and mapking as well.

By the way,how do we increase the font while browsing?

Thanks.

i am thinking to have the phone, but base on negative review here, make me in dilemma.

another case, touch 2 at rm1899, did you confront the shop ? this is more higher at retail price !!

Please add me to the list also. Mine was bought from PDA expect RM1530 by cash. included 4GB memory card and screen protector. But dont have car charger.
so far i didnt have the charging problem.

normally how many hours u took to fully charge the phone?
got memory card issue or not? like cannot detect memory card?

well it depends, i usually have it Active Sync and charged at the same time Well nothin negative bout the pda i guess, you paid for what you get and not HTC phone have 6.5 upgrade

all owner added, for now. btw, what is the color of your touch2? Silver very nice.

*damn, why am i last ...* mine is blue...apparently those who got it @ sunway's WM 6.5 launching are all blue i guess o_O?

ya lo

paid wht you get, get wht u paid....

add me also!

i bought my touch2 @rm1499 in subang parade + rm90 for the 8gb memory card.

freebies: car charger + modified screen protector ::cut here and there (they promised to give me the touch 2 screen protector as soon as the stock arrives) + a bluetooth

so far it works fine, no battery prob, no wiFi problem,

battery last around a day as i am a moderate user -SMS n phone calls n internet-

mine is BROWN. i think they only gor BROWN and BLUE. too bad no SILVER.

my only complain is that; i can not customize the touchFLO icon. *sighh*
and no alphanumeric keypad for SMS.

Is there any manual pdf store in the phone memory like what the quick guide mentioned? i tried to find it but unable to locate any pdf file in the phone memory.
My phone is brown colour, when i bought it they only have blue or brown colour, dont have silver colour stock.

@ ~\G.O.D/~: so far i also dont have memory detect issue. I also use active sync to charge my phone this few days as i have many data/file to sync between the phone and PC.

@ qeyaqilah: so good they give you a free bluetooth headset and car charger.....

if it's at subang parade, most likely they got it from the event too =.="(both brown and blue are available there)....the unit is not even on sale at lowyat plaza...hmm, why do you need the guide actually?

csyow331 oic... welcome on board...wakakak

add me in the userlist also... need to find a screen protector for this...
currently not having a problem using this... still figuring out how to sync this with my PC... im a noob on htc phones and winmo...

added,

To All Owner please also provide your Date of purchase What Color and Prices. Pls PM me, i will update.

how to sync? does your Touch2 come with installation CD? there is a SyncSoftware (ActiveSync) install to your PC > restart PC then simply connect your Touch to your PC.

This post has been edited by evilpuppy: Oct 24 2009, 01:32 PM

for the pc and phone sync can go n download the software from Microsoft

This post has been edited by josephchan90: Oct 24 2009, 02:09 PM

well no offence but putting the price there is not really a good though OS like Win 7 or Vista will connect to windows update to download Window Mobile Center (to sync the pda)

well, its only for reference and record purpose. pretty usefull for new ppl who's surveying for T2 market selling price. also you could always refer back IF you wanted to trade or sell your T2.

Hell no ..not gonna sell it rofl...btw i got mine @ RM560 on 10/10/09 . so far i find the pda quite nice to use ...(not fully using it since waiting for accessory to arrive )

RM560 so you are one of the lucky 65 . no wonder... WuahahAHAha after 1year sell RM560 to me.

=p...after 1 year new models are out already and maybe Window Mobile 7? btw it's blue =.=, not brown

This post has been edited by Lacus: Oct 24 2009, 08:53 PM

any free voice-guided navigation can be used in this ?

does it come with any navigation?

I search online, there is a Malsingmap for garmin...actually, i nvr use the navigation before, any pro may explain to me what should I do if i wan to install one for this?

i am using a Blue Touch 2 , just got it yesterday.

Currently happy using it and still familiarizing the device( 1st time use WM PDA)

any idea how to activate the GPS ?

can upload ur blue touch2 photo here? let us see ma~~~

this phone good or not? how much u get?

pre-installed google maps works?

there is google map preloaded but it's not as good as Garmin XT ..you need to install another application (like Garmin or Mapking)with Garmin, you can use voice navigation ..and there also other maps which are free (malfreemap if not mistaken which is updated monthly)

Garmin is free to install and use?

map also free? i need only malaysia and singpore map only....

Hey guys, how do i end the text message tone bcoz it will keep ringing till the end.. In diamond, I can simply press the end button but now since the end button acts as the power button, i couldnt use the method anymore... Any idea anyone?

lol.... me too... i put a song for my msg tone b4... and it kept ringing till the song finish... how to solve this? now i use the default msg tone

well for window mobile i suppose you need to use some short tone
garmin is not free bro well for maps there are free maps, look for malfreemaps ..updated monthly (twice in a month)

Har? there is no free Garmin mer? i tot can get from internet... =.=

how much it sell?

i tink u can try to go to settings>personal>button
then assign OK/Close to Send Key(Hold) button
this means tat wen msg comes,jz press n hold ur SEND key.. tat shud solve the problem.. havent tried it personally tho..

well there is way to get but it's illegal to discuss it here Well don't really like changing buttons setting..

Garmin XT is free from what i heard, please correct me.

btw the next thing is how to get Garmin XT into my device , any idea? 100%Noob.

Any GPS Application which require map is not FREE.

Google map is FREE.

i have problem to dial the *100# (for Maxis) and *128# for DiGi.

it showed warning "cannot complete the call. the signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. verify the number or try again later"

i think it has got something to do with the qwerty pad. i think i've change the format for the number because initially when i bought the phone i can dial the *100#. now when i sms and i switch the pad to number version the number i typed will be different from the number if i pressed the alphabet long enough to get the number.

pening kepala. can anyone pls help.

yes i know...
but donno can post here or not
wakkak

Anyone install backup software on touch2? i tried to install spb backup but having problem when i start to backup my phone information, always said "timeout" and it faied to backup. This s/w used to work on my old dopod D810. any1 can help here?

Garmin XT is not free as users are require to purchase it in order to use it. posting warez is not allow in the forums by the way.

garmin xt is free if you run external bt unit like the 10x.
maps are free and updated weekly from malfreemaps.

u pay for licensed gmxt only if u plan to use the internal gps antennae which u most likely will. talk of cracks unfortunately not allowed.

i was thinkin of buying this fon for my gf. is it worth getting it at RM 15xx ? i've never used a htc before so i'm asking all of u owners whether its worth paying for that price for this particular model.

nice pda phone....

Anyone know how to set the keys? Like long press for the home and window key to have short cut to some applications?

now is touch 2 vs tattoo comparison. hmm

hmm technically it's running 6.5 already and i don't think you need to mod it...the UI is really nice ...(my another pda is also using the same thing ) i should suggest looking for more apps and games
