I lost my T-Mobile Kaiser a couple of weeks ago and am using my lovely Universal at the moment but I need to get something smaller.
What's the best value on the market at the moment?
It has to be unlocked because I have 12 months left on my flex web and walk!
The Kaiser is around £470 unlocked which I can't afford
I want
Good battery life
3G
HSDPA
Bluetooth
GPS
Wifi
WM 6
Mobile Office
Smallish
Lightweight
Camera (but this is low priority)
Yes I know I want it all but hey!
I have looked at the Asus P750 as the best fit so far and it seems to have good reviews.
HP 614, read about that too, but it said it had a poor feel to it (build quality)
Also read about the MWg Atom V
Any thoughts?
I am guessing you are in the UK. You might want to consider whether your household contents insurance covers you for loss of personal property (mine doesn't, my parents does). Guess you'll have to weigh it up between new phone and excess/no-claims loss.
Otherwise, you *might* want to consider buying a Hermes/Trion/Vario 2 second hand. These are not entirely dissimilar to the Kaiser and go for £100 to £150 on ebay, but they do not have GPS built in, so you'd have to buy an external device. For comparison, last I saw Kaisers were going for over £300 on ebay.
Hope that helps.
Surely insurance or warranty will cover a lost phone?
Funny you should ask this, cos a few days ago THIS THREAD was posted about a guy who'd basically found/stole a Kaiser, could it be....?

Hello All,
This is just to inform you all that this phone is now sold since I have just purchased it on ebay.
This will be my second Kaiser, and I have to admit that I am very happy with it. I had a Herald before, and the Kaiser is a distinct improvement.
Thanks to all on this site who provide such good advice!! And thanks for helping me find a new phone for my wife!!

How come no one wants to purchase my phone, although its been advertised for longer?
Sorry, 246810. I didn't see that your phone was for sale, and also, although your phone if probably a cheaper offer (if you look at what you are giving with it), I wanted the HTC model not the MDA version because I already have an HTC model myself and I don't want to have two different versions of the same phone.
Sorry!!!
P.S. I might have a Herald for sale when the Kaiser arrives as my wife currently has a Herald and she might not want it any more. Anyone interested?
P.P.S. I regulary send older models to the Philippines (my wife is from the Philippines) as charity as they cannot afford such phones there. If anyone has any of the older models (so far I have sent Wizards and a couple of Universals) and would be willing to donate them to charity (I don't make any money from this at all), please PM me. THANKS!!!!
Hey 246810.
Maybe you should reduce your price a bit to get more interest. Your Phone is a T-mobile branded TYTN so will not have the look of the original TYTN from HTC Which may put some poeple off a bit.
I recently had the opportunity to purchase a MDA vario 3 for £200 brand-new and never used but my heart was set on an orginal looking one. A week later I managed to get an orange branded one with a HTC replacement battery cover £250.
I'm not saying yours isn't a bad offer. But maybe the price is a bit too much for what it is.
Hope you find luck selling it.

Yep, I have a thread advertising my phone. I'm still waiting for my paypal set up to come through and then I will put in on Ebay. Mine is brand new as well and hasn't even be switched on and comes with all you need.
Good luck with your herald- quite personally I don't see myself purchasing a Windws Mobile phone again in a very long time...
just great...

Lol. Okay, point made. If there is a buyer in London, UK then I am willing to meet face to face as this is the safest method for both the buyer and seller. I really do want to get rid of it however, and when my Paypal is sorted out shortly, you can purchase it by paypal if you're interested?....

May I ask if you can buy it for this price brand new? I do find it hard to believe that you can purchase a new Diamond for around £290. Who are you purchasing them from? Cuboosh?...
Also, keep in mind that it comes with 4 cases, two of which are the boxwave clear active case and Siedo's case, and two leather cases, Sony Bluetooth headphones in good condition, along with a virtually unused very compact Bluetooth keyboard that I purchased off Expansys for £60/$120.
not to hijack the thread or anything, but just to let you know, that most people dont really care about that stuff. i wouldnt pay extra for a bluetooth keyboard. why would i need it??? hah 4 cases??!!! one is more than enough. just letting you know why you're having problems selling it so far. maybe try selling that stuff separately??
hi guys, 1st post =)
I have a few q.s about the Tytn 2 before I decide to buy one ..
1. General opinions about the handset? I'm looking for a new gadget to play with and having used my friend's Tytn 2 this seems to be a worthy contender.
2. Do the Touch Diamond/Pro offer much over the Tytn 2 for the extra cost? Is it a good idea to buy the Tytn 2 2nd hand as people upgrade their handsets to newer models?
3. If i do buy a Tytn 2 I will likely buy one off ebay, unless anyone can suggest anywhere else in the Uk where I can get one cheaper. How much is a realistic price to pay for a Tytn 2 now? Used or new?
thanks!

If you're looking for something with all the bells and whistles to play with, there's not much better and there's nothing that offers the same combination of features. I find the tilting screen very useful when watching videos on the train.

I only have a UK bought HTC TyTN II so cant compare. Does the Touch Diamond/Pro have a tiltable screen (to angle it right when watching videos)? What about expandable microSD memory capability? What do you want it for (other than 'playing with')?
I guess it depends how much risk is involved in the 2nd hand purchase as to whether that’s a good idea. These phones do have some known 'issues' one of which is that the USB port can be susceptible to failure under certain circumstances and you can't really tell until you've tested it under Activesync and tried charging it a few times if that works well. I was in a phone shop a few weeks back when a very angry customer who'd bought his 2nd hand TyTN II there began to tear strips off the shopkeeper. His phone seemed to have a faulty USB port but it also looked as if it'd had a new casing at some stage too - who knows what horrors the poor thing had endured? You need to really know what you're looking at if you buy 2nd hand. If you're not a seasoned veteran, it's safer buying new.

I got my HTC Branded TyTN II back at the end of September 07 and from memory it was about £160 with a 12 month £35 for 500 mins/500 texts Vodafone contract. The company I bought it from is no longer trading and prices have come down since then (especially so if you want a carrier branded variant - they weren't even around back then). Do some research on the net and in phone shops - in the end it's you who has to be satisfied with what you're getting. As it's your first post, you'll need to read the wiki here too - compulsory reading for all newcomers!
What about a HTC Universal/XDA Exec/MDA 5000 as a cheaper option?
What about researching. No one can tell you what one to by. I usually live by this motto.
If reading the specs of a phone doesn't get you excited. you Will loose interest in your "new phone" fast.
I was wondering how much should I ask while selling my Tilt? I have the original box and papers that come with the box. No marking of any sorts, the device looks brand new. I still have all the original plastic covering that comes with the phone. So how much should I be asking?
jb
It's been unlocked and Hardspl with Olif. I have on there now Sleuth v3.0 ROM installed (WM 6.1).
Oh it also comes with a 512mb Sandisk card and a case.
a few more. PM with a decent offer. I would guess shipping for something this small would be like 10 dollars or so, possibly 20 for overnight shipping through FEDEX or UPS.
No one interested?
$200 probably a good price.. There are folks at ebay selling new units for below $350..
I would be interested however I just got the iPhone to play with .... You can not beat the iPhone price from AT&T. I do also have 3 Tilts that my family members use, and they are almost new. Your best bet is eBay and hopefully someone from overseas bids on it since your best client would be outside USA; The Tilt is cheap here in the States as you might have seen.
Anyways. I think you might be able to get $200.00 for it.
I'll take it for $200. Message me and we can talk.
Thongvilay, have a nice day. Do you shipping from Brazil, if yes, how much? Acept $230+shipping (paypal)? Another question, this unit have RLoD? Have a nice day!
PM sent guys.
Is your Tilt still for sale
Do you still have your tilt up for sale?
Hello Currytrek, I am the newest owner of that tilt. Now it's just I hope it arrives here in Brazil :-D!!
I bought a Sprint Touch Diamond on 10/15/2008 and decided I wanted a Touch Pro. It was used a little less than a month. The only thing unwrapped was the charger and batery. I will sell for 150.00 plus shipping, so allow about 15.00 for shipping. The phone has never been flashed or unlock, comes with everything in the box. If interested contact me at [email protected]
MOD'S If this is in the wrong place I appologize, please move.
SOLD I love the Diamond but upgraded to the PRO not that there's that much differance.
