when is it actually launch in Malaysia guys?

Yeap told me I'd be getting mine before this Friday; apparently his stocks will be in today. I will checkup especially the camera issue but to me is not important as I rarely use camera. Will test it few days first before deciding to return if camera is faulty.

Other reported "hardware" issues will also assess it and report back when I get my unit

Other "sofware" issues as mentioned I see is no major issue ; I have been using htc pdas since they were first available ( I 'd say you name it, 9/10 I have used it before) and everytime I see barrage of criticisms on the web whenever any new product is launched. I'd say most users had very high expectations and expect a near perfect pda. Many issues are easily overcome with tweaking - and if you do read the "fine print" if any, many users complaining but never really say what they'd installed . Whether one like it or not, some software though installable are incompatible - example WM5 software though installable on WM6.1 and WM6.5 devices sometimes create conflict, create unstability. I have been tinkering with these and had been helping my friends resolving such issues. Most recent a htc TP2 , I have a friend who always complaining about unit hang/freeze and I trace it down to his installation of more than one type of Chinese font system in it. After its removal leaving only one type, the unit does not hang anymore

Even the great iphone has its share of criticicms esp on the keyboard and SMS functions. I bought the first gen iphone 2G (8GB) and sold it off within a week at big loss as the hype of it was so great I just couldn't resist. At one of the last Beamfest MPC , I unashamedly declare the iphone was the worst pda I have ever use - well you can just see the brickbats that were thrown back to me then. Unconvinced that it was that bad, later i bought the latest 3G 16GB model supposed with improved software, SMS, MMS , file functions, etc - sad to say but till today it is inside my drawer collecting dust ; used it barely a week. I'd just justified not using it simply because I always compare its functionality and practicality against the Windows PDA which I'd been using since the very first unit HP 548 was launched more than 10 years ago. Till today I find the iphone more of a multimedia and browser pda and not so suitable for biz user like me.

Very Good News HD2 would be upgradable to Windows Mobile 7 when available. HERE

LOL.

I might be wrong but from what I observe, the problems mentioned seems to happen to the Europe and Australia (first batch), but not to the Taiwanese who got the phone slightly later. So it might just happen to the first batch of the phone, who knows.

Well only one way to find out, I guess. I do hope you are right, which means there is a good chance the ones we are getting will be ok, else this is gonna suck. If that is the case, I will most probably wait until the issues, at least the hardware ones are addressed. Wonder if anyone, say someone in SiS or any dealer, can do some testing with the Malaysian units? On the quiet of course At any rate, it doesn't look very promising for a Christmas present to myself

OMG WIN7 ON HTC HD2 ? gahhhh the days are moving so slow.

i guess that is expected... considering the hardware of HD2

HTC has now made a U-turn and said that the camera problem is software related and NOT hardware related

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/11/23/...ftware-related/

Guesses are, that the problem started with the hardware but that would cost them too much to fix them all so HTC is trying to get the software part to help correct the colors.

from Xda-developer, it seems that someone with nokia N97 also has the problem. it seems to be a common problem with 5mega pixel phone cameras..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...9&postcount=373

its n79. i had n82 and i never had this issue before.

Seems like a Christmas rush job by HTC. Else they should've fixed the problem earlier, as the "red tint" problem appears in pre-release test sets as well. No wonder there are so many problems reported at XDA

Now the camera issue has hit the headlines http://www.gsmarena.com/a_hardware_fault_c...d-news-1276.php .. let's see when they acknowledge there is a MAJOR issue with SMS sending as well.

nghj,
I have the N82 too, the camera is absolutely brilliant and nightshots are amazing... the HD2 camera is MILES behind. Looks like I'll have to stick to my N82 and 838Pro for a while longer

you guys like the big screen with no 3g call capabilities? I mean one sided 3g calls.. im sticking to my HD

I never did video calls much at all. even though i had the front camera on my 838 pro last time (when it still worked)

So i don't think i'll miss my video calls that much

the big screen has many applications, 3g calls are one of them, but other prefer media or internet.

the HD2 is out in PDA　Expert. Just got a call from my ex supervisor, so i will be heading to one of their outlets and get a feel on this baby afterwards XD

HD2 out & available! saw and played @ PDA Expert Mid Valley...

hmmm.. it depends. i had never made any 3g calls so that's not a problem, anyway i have a cruise as well
