Picked up mine today....very happy with it.

It comes with Co-pilot live V7 which is great, also full Car kit, Mount and holder which is made in Germany...looks the same as the brodit....and included is also the car charger.

U guys get a lot of things in the box. Enjoy ur Phone

[guinevere]

Yeah...I am really pleased with it. I had a Universal before and loved that but it was just to big, also I could never get it fully compatible with the 3 network. I was worried about going from a VGA screen to QVGA....but I have already got use to it.

Guinevere,

I've purchased the HTC TYTN II from Three and absolutely love it!

just wondering if you had problems with Copilot Live 7? It seems that this version does not let you add custom POI's to its database. Also, the Safety Camera option is greyed out.

This same problem occurs on the desktop version as well (Copilot Central).

Any thoughts? Thanks!

How's Copilot 7? I haven't seen/used it since 5. It used to work great =)


When it comes to bundled goodies, North America really sucks. Luckily I still have family in Hong Kong and getting them to buy stuff there for me works out nicely.

i thought that htc had a contract with tomtom.
1099 is that with a full version of copilot?

a little off topic here but i was browsing the 3 website and trying to figure out what you guys pay for your wireless, 35 cents for 30s so with the 49 dollar plan you get 70 mins? am i understanding that right?

$29 for 1GB wow do you guys just get the cheap 29 cap and use msn with a data plan?

Well apparently in Australia, HTC's contract is with Copilot.

The Copilot Live 7 is a full version, with a few limitations as I previously pointed out (you can't update safety cameras or POIs).
Copilot Live 7 has a very much improved interface from version 6. It looks very pretty and very snappy in performance. It seemed to have learned from TomTom in terms of it's ease of use and its overall GPS experience.

neotekz, answering your questions about the 3 Network, I think you've misread it. Those price plans are what they call "Caps", meaning once you reach a certain amount of spend, you don't pay anymore till a certain allowed limit. The $29 Cap plan gives you a $120 spend limit, and another extra $70 for calls between 3 customers. So in theory, you get $190 to spend a month, which is pretty good deal. The higher the cap, the more credit you get.

The Data plans are separate. They start from $3 a month...

That is a great deal. Stores here are charging $1200 and delivery end of Nov.
Can you give details of the ROM? Thanx
