Cow has been lusting after the HTC HD2 since a mth ago...... He finally got his wish when
M1 ( lovely customer service ) had a soft launch @ M1 Paragon last wkend.
Xmas gifts fr M1... A cute ceramic mug and n spoon M1 was having a promo.... we got
3 mobile modems for abt the same subscription price as he's paying per mth for his lines,
so y not? If he had to incur additional costs, then i wld say NO.
HTC has 'downsized' their packaging.... v neat yet environmentally friendly*thumbs up*
HD2 cost $838 with the $28 plan/mth. He went for the $48 plan and M1 shaved $100 off the RRP.
He traded in HTC TOUCHPRO 2 for $400 and only had to top up $338 for his new baby.
My Samsung Omnia i8910 or HD on the left, his HD2 on the right.
They're bt the same height, but HD2 has a bigger screen than Omnia HD.
HD2 is considered VERY SLIM for a HTC phone. I lovethe matte cover... I dun think Cow intends to use the Invisible Shield on this phone...
As for HD2's screen, i dun think he nids a screen protector anyway.... Check THIS out
Sorry for the mth long hiatus... been busy with the new house/work/
been HELP-less for 1 wk plus after my previous helper returned to
Philippines after 4 yrs in Spore.
( UPDATES )
Oh well, HTC Dream lasted only a mere... 1 mth??
He likes the feature except tt the batt runs out super
duper fast... a bane when he's on call..... So?
he traded in the Dream which he got for $238 for?
$400. Oh, he cancelled 1 line and got another... n
topped up a lil for his new....
HTC DIAMOND 2.
I dun like it.... too square for my liking *LOL*
Pix coming soon....
What happens when one is married to guy who is siao-ON ( fanatical )
over PDA phones?
Ans: Play the role of a supportive spouse.
HOW?
Ans: Once the guy mentions tt the NEW phone will be launched soon,
do the following:
1) Call each of the 3 service providers, ask when will the new pdt
be launched. Leave yr contact with them.
2) Flip the papers industriously for adverts. Zero in on the particular
phone.
3) Once u spot tt phone, call the Service Provider n reserve 1 unit.
Collect it at yr chosen outlet.
4) Heave a sigh of relief in the knowledge tt Steps 1-3 will only be
repeated in 1-3 mths time.
We finally got rid of Omnia. Hubs isnt used to Samsung phones
afterall. Oh well. Called the hp guy who bought his previous HTC
Diamond. Was quoted an ok price. Hubs says as long as the amt
is higher than wat we paid for the phone ( regardless of trade-in ),
we wont loo gee ( his logic *sigh* ).
So...... its ByeBye Omnia after 1mth, and
( HARLOW TO? )
After mths of waiting, hubs is officially a PRO(ud) owner *hee*
ETA: REVIEW OF TOUCH PRO ON GSMARENA
Btw, hubs got his set fr Singtel. M1 hasnt launched it YET.
He also rec'd an 8GB mini-SD card. That really sweetened
the deal :)
After dinner @ Fish & Co Parkway ( im quite sick of the food here, we dine here like once twice weekly, cant help it since Missy likes the Fish&Chips there ), hubs quickly chiong Singtel as he was so eager to meet his latest fren..... For 'serial phone-players' like him, he had come to realise ( all thanks to his wifey *coughcough* LOL ) tt it doesnt pay to keep PDA phones lying ard since tech is always evolving n gadgets lose their worth along the way....
SO? his fave word now? TRADE-IN *heheheh*
This serial phone-player has 5 lines ( 2 with Singtel, 3 with M1 ) so tt he can tap into
them shd he gets sick of his current phone. He had already cut 1 line with M1 due to
my incessant nagging :P
Currently, his contract with Singtel is only into the 13 mth, so he got to top up $100
for his phone.... After he traded in his TyTn II ( the saleman raised an eyebrow when
he saw tt we're using this for trade-in ), he only had to pay $338 for HTC DIAMOND.
He was lamenting tt when he 1st started buying PDA phones, prices hovered ard
1K - 1.3K for each phone. Salesman told us tt if we drop by the IT show @ Suntec
it'll cost $140 cheaper there... the cons? travel all the way there, waste petrol,
wait eons for a parking lot, kena sandwiched like sardines?
The ans is clear *heheh*

This guys is nuts over PDA phones since i knew him in 2000. He started out with
Motorola's (dunno watcha call it PDA phone), then Treo ( he owned 3), then O2
( i think he had 3 ), Dopod ( i think he had 2 ) and NOW? its HTC all the way .....
Nah, he's not into Iphone despite the cool features n ultra attractive price...
he remains loyal to HTC....
He had used HTC's
TOUCH CRUISE:
http://eatshopbemerry.livejournal.com/11
TyTn II:
http://eatshopbemerry.livejournal.com/70
He also used Dopod's 838Pro and Cavalier ( b4 they were officially called HTC )
The lack of memory card slot doesnt bother him the least bit... he claims internal
memory ( 4GB in Diamond ) is more stable since he had damaged 2 cards since
then.
Guess what? this fella can tell me there's a newer version of DIAMOND which will be launched
in the near future.... so i questioned WHY DO U WANT TO BUY AN OLDER PDT THEN??
his reply? COS ITS NOT OUT YET....
HIS 2 CURRENT PHONES.....
He joked tt he's not used to carrying such a slim phone 
I like this creative design, butthis phone sure is a 'FINGERPRINT MAGNET' *hahahah*
When i saw the pix above, i was wondering why are there so much dust on the phone?
I cleaned the phone again, n this was the same result. I asked Hubs abt this....
Labbit : OMG! does tt mean the room is ultra dusty?
Cow : Look again
Labbit : it IS dusty!!
Cow : No lah, what is the name of the phone?
Labbit : means what?
Cow : diamond dust!!
Labbit : Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Managed to capture 2 pix b4 my batt went flat....colours r more vivid IRL
1 minor gripe: This is a great machine, but it is zaps power like no
tomorrow, no wonder it came with a spare batt. But im really
wondering how long will hubs keep this phone *hahah*
I pity the CRUISE, cos it'll be next to go.....
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY A GAME IN HTC DIAMOND ...

The TOUCHFLO 3D is amazing!!
UPDATED 17 JUNE : Hubs is now awaiting the launch of TOUCH PRO and
That fella is currently eyeing this... n he's mentioned it TWICE in 1 day.... n tat
means he's quite adamant in getting it when its launched.... this fella's like me...
we dun like to wait, n we muz get it now get it quick *HEE*

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_diamon
weird thing is this pdt doesnt hv a card slot... which is weird.... but hubs says
it comes with a 4GB memory.... hmmmm, not v useful i say...
Dear Hubby finally laid his hands on the TOUCH CRUISE. He's smiling like a goon.
Obviously. *roll eyes*
Unlike the TYTNII, Touch Cruise doesnt come with a Qwerty Keyboard. 
in his own words: Who cares abt the Cam? ( HTC's cam CMI most of the time )
Def looks sleeker than TyTnII.
On the left: TOUCH CRUISE
On the right: TyTnII
On the left: TOUCH CRUISE
On the right: TyTnII
Actually, there isnt much difce btn the 2 in terms of thickness and size.
BUT.... according to the Cow, the Touch Cruise rec'd more raves than TyTn.
was telling him the incident abt HTC's drivers.... erm, our fren thinks its
ALRIGHT.... he's reallly loyal....
He has been into PDA Phones since i intro him to hp in 2000 ( at tt time, he
juz returned fr Ireland )... yup, he was so su ku then, he doesnt even know how
to use a hp... I, on the other hand, had been using hp since 1995 or 1996.
My parents got me an Ericsson 388 when i was in the uni.... at tt time, it cost
them 1K !!
Unbelievable rite? On average, i change my phone once a yr.
But hubs does it ard 3 xs a yr *roll eyes*
His 1st PDA phone was a Motorola, then followed by 3 Treos. By then, he had
jumped ship to O2... owning 3 phones by O2. Then then, he jumped ship
to Dopod ( HTC ). Funny thing is, he doesnt like the blackberry or the iphone.
Let's see how long the touch cruise will last him.
*EDITED*
2 Hp Cradles: 1 for TyTnII ( left ), 1 for Touch Cruise ( right )
He's not planning to trade in Tytn II yet... so he's been rotating btn these 2
Touch Cruise does sound like Tom Cruise ya? *LOL*
I've got it all worked out.... im planning it in advance since im freer now....
Kiddo will not be involved..... she's too young for it *hee*
On a sidenote.... that hiao fella made me go to funan with him
last wk juz to check out THIS PHONE...
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,3
you can be sure he's gonna lay his hands on it once it's launched *comatose*
After gettin the HTC TYTN II, he felt tt his old vehicle mount doesnt quite hold his new baby
well..... so he surfed the net, n found tt HTC has a specific mount for TYTN II....
we went hunting for it @ Funan a few days back..... we went fr shop to shop, but NONE
have wat he wanted. They offered some generic brands, but hubs insisted he only wanted
HTC's own pdt.... He was disappointed the new pdt wasnt avail .... hubs was v pleased tt
he got the TYTN II at a very gd price.... cos the RPP of TYTN II was ard 1.3k+ at the shops.
i tot the one below was quite nice....
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/ne
looks like there'll be more trips to funan till he gets his mount :P
Also saw a pdt launch while we were there. Pix taken fr Level 3
( HELLGATE: LONDON )
IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM !!!!
Hubs tried out the GPS NAVIGATION software on his new TYTN today when we just exited Vivocity.
on the ECP. Top RH corner: km/h
Tis the 1st time im seeing GPS on a hp, so i can onli write on wat i see on the HTC.
GPS was brilliantly displayed on HTC's screen. The movement was refreshed every few
secs. Wordings were big n clear enuf for the driver. Hubs mounted his HTC on his hp
holder juz in front of his steering wheel.
BTW, did u see the word ' DESTINATION? ' on top of each pix? hubs did not key in any,
hence i think the GPS was merely tracking our route.
btw, there is a voice command which goes '' PLS SLOW DOWN '' whenever
hub's speed touches 60+km/h so can u imagine every few secs, while on
the ECP, we keep hearing tt irritating command?
Sorry for the blurry pix... took them with macro mode in a moving vehicle :P
OKie, when Missy reaches her teen years, im def getting her a GPS hp *LOL*

impressed

Okie, i did a search on the phone just now. When i 1st heard of it fr hubs,
my 1st impression was tt it was a machiam ULU phone... but i never
tot it won some rave reviews...never expected it to be a much coveted
phone
Hubs had been eyeing this phone for weeks now.... n just last wk, he called
up M1 to check on it... but was told there was no announcemt for its launch
YET. He called again this morning, n was pleasantly surprised to hear tt
it had been launched!! he din waste any time... immediately reserved 1 set
@ M1 Paragon. After our lunch @ East Ocean Teochew restaurant, he
literally chiong-ed down to 'MEET' his new 'PAL'. *roll eyes*
DOPOD is now called HTC ... weird, cos i tot DOPOD sounds 'classier'
than HTC. later i found out fr
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
wennveethat HTC was the maker of Dopod phones
This baby is hub's 3rd DOPOD...
1st Dopod phone : 838 Pro
2nd Dopod phone : C730 or the CAVALIER
3rd Dopod/HTC : TYTN II ( pronounced TITAN )
OKie, i DISLIKE this phone,,, cos 1) Heavier/BULKIER than C730.... 2) Why call it TYTN
when its supposed to be called TITAN? Itchy backside leh those HTC pple *LOL*
My U600 is 10.9mm... see? C730 is actualli quite Slim too for a PDA phone... oh well, i wun understand wat he's thinking...
N best part, i showed him my previous LJ entry to show him he onli used the phone for a few
mths nia!!
