Hi All,

Its my first post over here, I've been lurking all the while (sorry~!)

But it seems that there are a few questions which I wanted to ask, was already asked by someone else. Unfortunately, it wasn't replied by anyone Therefore, I have to register and put myself into scene.

Just to recap:
Are all SiS shipped Touch HD units supplied with SanDisk 8GB microSD? Or could it be other brands such as Transcend etc?

My own personal question:
Touch HD is really really nice, but its a bit wee expensive. What makes it so expensive as compared to other sets? (Especially the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which is very much cheaper but also with the same specifications - GPS, Wifi, Touchscreen, everything!)

Thx all!

Wow! Thanks for the fast reply.

1. How much roughly does windows mobile cost?
2. What is the difference between a PDA (Pocket PC) and a smartphone?
3. QVGA and WVGA that much big difference? (Anyway I still like HD's MASSIVE screen!)
4. It has a 5MegaPixel camera, but no flash, which, doesn't make much difference? (especially at night)
5. Probably some third party applications are able to edit documents as well?
6. Youtube (Symbian is now able to support flash doesn't it? So its almost the same?

Do mobile phones hardware cost very expensive? (RAM, graphics, etc) If so, maybe that's why the HD is way much more expensive as compared to other phones. Still wondering why the HD cost almost 3X of Nokia's 5800!

Any HD users here regretted spending so much on this gadget?

Hmm....I still think that either the 5800 is priced too low, or the HD is priced too high


1. 5800 has the stylus
2. 5800 also has accelerometer
3. It can play movies, just that its pixel is less (just a little less)
4. Has also a user-friendly interface (but the TouchFlo3D looks more cool )
5. Definately more high class (the price also high class )


What do you mean by higher standard? The 5800 also has most of the functions HD has


Very true and agress with it. Most of the people around me says that too


Why after so long WM exists, but still no support for RMVB???


It'll be good if the HD can do that too

Hope HTC will give a positive response

What format are the files in?
Did it lagged?
How is the battery life? (hours)

Looks like you need many charges to complete that series huh?

So what memory card brand is in the original box?
Is it standard and same for everyone? or it varies?

All HD owners here care to share their supplied microSD brand here?

Is it? Saw 1 of the units with Transcend microSD
Anyone has it too?

Hmm... shouldn't it be SanDisk like stated?


I don't think there is any difference (I guess )

The problem is....... everyone says the supplied microSD in the box is SanDisk!

What does that imply?

Hmm...maybe transcend is better!


What is the difference between class4 and class6?
How do you find out from the memory card?

No more silver? How does it looks like?

Care to post a picture???

Thanks for the picture
Hmm... it seems that its almost totally black... I still prefer the silver one
So the flickering bar issue seems to be solved, but the flickering issue also happens in the system status screen also. Is it also solved with this hotfix? And did the screen turn "black" too as well?

Anyway, the flickering issue won't harm anything except the human eyes right?

About the new hotfix, what is the slide to answer fix about? What's wrong with the slide thing anyway? I just don't understand the description. Anyone can explain more in detail about this issue?

LOL, thanks for describing the problem that occurs after the hotfix.
What I wanted to know is the problem before the hotfix, which causes the hotfix to be developed.

Thanks anyway


Thanks for explaining the problem! I understand it now!




And by the way, if the system status screen still stays grey, it will be still be flickering then...right?
Anyone with sharp eyes able to detect it?

Hmm... I thought that the "Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls " was removed from the website due to the bug?

Is the one downloadable from the website now is the new version? or it still contains the bug?

If I'm not mistaken, I remember that is was removed some time ago...wasn't it?

I found out the problem... the HTC website has some errors.

When you choose "ALL", it only displays 2 of the items. But when you choose "HotFix", it displays all of them..

Yeah.. I know
Just that when I go to the HTC website, when I selected "ALL" , the latest one (camera viewfinder) doesn't show up.

And about the "Slide to Answer" thing, I thought that there is a bug, isn't it? Why did HTC still allow downloads for that hotfix?

Anyone downloaded the "Camera Viewfinder" hotfix? If I'm not mistaken, it seems that once the hotfix is applied, you can't undo the action, unless you hard reset it, right? I personally thinks that this is not that good

Heard that Windows Mobile 6.5 will be introduced next month. Can people using WinMo 6.1 can upgrade to WinMo 6.5? Will that be free?

Hmm... if so, can existing users upgrade?
If its HTC, I suppose that have to wait for HTC to release the upgrade right? (It'll most probably be free , i guess)

But... Will that be possible to upgrade?
How about windows update?

Added on January 24, 2009, 12:57 amI was browsing the htc accessory store and found out that they are selling 2 different data cables, 1 is a mini usb and another is extUSB (11 pin). What is the difference between those two?

the mini usb is cheaper than the extUSB 11pin.

mini usb

extUSB 11pin

If I'm not mistaken, the htc supplied cable is extUSB type.

Thanks for the reply. Now I know the difference with ExtUSB and mini-USB.

I did some research myself too, but am still confused. Is ExtUSB what HTC calls? Or its just another standard USB type that everyone calls it, just like the mini-USB? What is the difference between ExtUSB and EMU (Enhanced Mini USB)?


Wow, there's new update already. So fast.
Does that means that new units will be shipped with this update in it?

What is the update about? HTC website doesn't seem to provide much information. I only see this "* You may get an error message when trying to customize tabs in TouchFLO 3D."

If it is the problem with TouchFLO 3D, can't it be resolved by reinstalling the TouchFLO 3D application?

It states that once it is upgraded, it cannot be downgraded. Is it true even if I hard reset the device?

Anyone which tried the upgrade found any other changes / new things?

Does the update include all the previous hotfixes as well? Or the hotfixes are required to be installed after the new ROM upgrade?

Ok, maybe I left out that sectioned while doing my research. Thanks.

I think I understand now. EMU are backward compatible with mini-USB. ExtUSB is a kind of EMU. Correct me if I am wrong.


There's a new ROM on the HTC website here

I'm not sure what version it is.

how do you find out the version? starhub? is it anyhow related to singapore?
