just bought the tytyn today to replace my ageing xda 2i..bought for RM3120/= at Midvalley, but cash only please...

Hi jmunchar,

I am still struggling to get my GPS work on my TYTN II.

Mind to share the detail settings on how to make it work?

Thanks!

First question. Did u adjust anything in ur external gps setting. Plust what r the problems u having?

I didn't register at HTC site. I thought they will send the info on behalf of us. If spoil, just bring back to fresh gear.

Yesterday I went to Aeon Bkt Tinggi, Klang and at Networld.com.my shop, I asked for the price of HTC Tytn II. I was quoted RM3,199 with free software and free service whenever my unit screws up, reformat, load new software, load latest Map King, etc.

Since I am quite outdated with PDA stuff, I just want to ask if it's a good price and also will there be any upcoming models similar to this / better.

Htc TytnII is currently the latest in the market. The price is about the maket price for a tytn. You can also check the garage section for the market price.

the price is around there ... standard package ... everything in the box .. pda, manual, cd, extra stylus, charger, usb cable, leather pouch + 2gb microSD + bluetooth headset ... dunno if in lowyat/kl area can get cheaper ... but add tol + fuel ... same also rite ...

Ok, now I found another package for HTC Tytn II. Price is RM3100 for full package with 2G Memory Card & Bluetooth and 1 year warranty by SiS.

I have one major concern, it's about the ROM upgrade. As shown in the 838 Pro topic, will the same problem applies to Tytn II?

Yeah, freshgear handles the registration for its customers.

pennywise ... AFAIK ... dopod 838 pro is using Windows Mobile 5 ... i think those kinda problem only apply when they upgrade to the Windows Mobile 6 ROM ... tytn ii out of the box is using Windows Mobile 6 ... so i dont think u need to worry .... so far mine is working without problem ... well .. sometimes u need to restart the pda once in a while ... just in case ...

anyone using cooked ROMS yet?

I never tried to search for warrenty registration at HTC site, but I do registered for the E-club. You can get update there if it is available.

No la, that list was started long before Windows Mobile 6 came to the market. Its the problem with the phone itself. I am offered RM3100 with 2GB and Bluetooth headset. Is it worth it?

The price seems ok. Any additional software you can always get online.

hi guys...
i was wondering, how can we check if the tytn II being sold to us is the first batch or the second batch?

any idea?

Good question. I would like to know as well

hahaha... hope there's someone here that can tell us that

why..is there something sytematically wrong with the first batch or are there subsequently improvements i am not aware?...

heard that windows mobile 6.1 is out?? any idea..

because normally the 1st batch will have minor bug and sort...
i heard that there's a kaiser user that have to resend back his 1st batch kaiser for a 2nd batch due to certain problem..
not sure what is it though
