They won't take out the GPS - that would be ridiculous. Plus, software related to it was in the AT&T ROM that Paul tested. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tones@ Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hey, my danish contact says, that the TyTN II (I liked Kaiser better...) will not come to TDC (Denmark's biggest provider) yet, because the software has to many errors. He says, that in the standard test, it failed 70%! Hope it's an exaggeration.. The only errors he actually told me, is that the phone dies (or turns off) if someone's calling you, while sitting on the net, and the phone will turn off and erase all personal data if lying unused for a couple of hours.. The last one I just can't believe... Hope he's only trying to scare me... This might just be a problem with the provider / carrier specific ROM - just like AT&T in the USA seems to be having problems with their ROM. I doubt the unlocked HTC TyTN II version has these problems. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onepiece Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hey Paul, did you already test the connection between a notebook and the TyTn II? My provider just gave me 250 instead of 30 MB for the same price each month, so i would like to know if i can use the UMTS "power" on my notebook via the TyTn II without problems (and without wires). Special2k3 Same question.... Paul? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manni01 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Same question.... Paul? Anyone? Haven't tried the Tytn II yet but my plan is to do exactly the same with my Sony TZ11, so I'm also interested in Paul's first hand experience with the beast... In the meantime one thing you have to check is whether your notebook has BT 2.0 + ADR. Otherwise (ie with BT 1.1 or earlier) the bandwidth will be limited and you'll only get a fraction of the Tytn's power... If your notebook is 6 months old or less, you should be fine, otherwise you may have to consider an upgrade... Next is your provider. Some like T-mob don't let you use a mobile as a modem from a laptop unless you go for the more expensive plan (plus or max). The standard webn'walk doesn't allow you to do that. With Vodafone, you can use your phone as a modem even on PAYG or with their smaller plan (£7.50 per month). That's one of the reasons why I'm probably going to stay with Voda. Don't know about the other networks, but it's worth checking with your provider. Edited September 2, 2007 by Manni01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the unlocked HTC TyTN II version has these problems. Tony Actually not, cause TDC is using the original ROM, so that can't be the problem... But anyways, thay won't scare me.. I'm hooked already.. Oh, and by the way, have any of you tried Smart2Go on PPC? If I get the Kaiser before going to London, it would be sweet to have it as GPS...

So Paul seems to use a very old Kaiser Rom, so that all the errors were not finally finished by HTC. They kept the good errors for the final ROM ;) Special2k3 Edited September 2, 2007 by Special2k3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I don't envisage GPS being disabled, and that comment about the errors and failing tests, er, baloney ;) I use the device day in day out and it's rock solid bar the slight GPS oddity I envisage will be fixed by release.

Guest sub69 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Inkino are great in my opinion. I've never ordered via the internet with them because I live and work in London and don't like waiting for the Royal Mail, so I've always been into their store on Tottenham Court Road to get my goodies. They're extremely helpful in there, and the prices are pretty good too. Bought my Jam, SP5, and JasJar from them (and various accessories) and I can't fault them.

Guest Webreaper Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Seems that Expansys are showing contract deals on their site now. E.g http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?partner=modaco&i=156028 None of them appear to have unlimited data contracts though. Can anyone clarify?
