hey guys,
I just found that lelong.com are selling HD (stated the stock is available). Not sure is true or not. But, no harm to check it out for those that interested to buy now. Price RM3200.

no idea for the price, plan to go in tis week..

i am currently in taiwan and came across the htc touch hd in stores. the price is TWD 25900 which is about RM 2800. the problem is that the OS is in chinese and my chinese is rubbish. is there any way that i can change it to english? what do i need to and how? the sales people are quite clueless when it comes to foreign matters. from what little i could understand they said that all the models sold here is by default in chinese and there is no way they can change it for me.

another issue is that the warranty is only within taiwan. risky?

Good jobs guys ... keep the pricing info coming in. Want to get this baby in the next couple of months!!

so.. anybody can confirm whether its in stalls already?

as mentioned before, it is available in subang parade yesterday, price to be confirmed when pay a visit there.

Still waiting for maxtek's special deal ... can't wait!!!

By the way, what should we check when we buy a unit? Dead pixel? Color of screen? Got yellowish screen problem?

Anyone can provide a check list?

i asked the person who advertise in lelong.com

Oooooowh.. That's how...

Thanks for the info bro..

Does anyone own the phone yet? mind to share ur exp on Touch HD?

PEOPLE, finally I'm damn happy to announce something here...

Check my signature in case you're interested... Hehehehehehehe...

wow ! Touch HD finally arrived in Malaysia

i dont think he has the stocks yet

I've been using Touch HD for almost 2 weeks now and I can say that it's the best WinMo device that I've ever had. The most obvious thing about HD is it's large and gorgeous screen, although the software support for WVGA screen is still not that great. Refer here for software that work on HD http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?p...me=HTC_Software. TouchFlo 3D works smoothly. And more importantly, during these 2 weeks, I've never had any freezing problem that need me to reset the phone.

I've also impressed with the GPS on HD. I've installed TomTom 7, and it works great. I've also tried Garmin XT, and it also works. However I prefer TomTom as I'm more familiar with its interface (been using TomTom standalone GPS before this). GPS satellite fix is very fast, between 5 to 10 seconds. I can also get fix from inside my house, which my standalone TomTom cannot do. Really impress with the GPS. No noticeable delay when using for navigation.

As for battery drain, I can get 2 days from a single charge. My daily typical usages are phone call (30 minutes), sms (20-30), internet browsing (1-2 hours), youtube (30 minutes) and games (30 minutes). But if I use the sat nav, the battery drains faster, have to charge everyday.

The build quality is solid. However take note that there are cases of paint stripping that are discussed in several forums such as this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445278 . As for my HD, it still looks as new

For anyone who is looking for a great WinMo device without physical keyboard, Touch HD is currently the best option. If you like keyboard, then maybe you can consider between SE Xperia or Touch Pro.
