I bought one one recently and I love it!!
I didn't want to buy a new phone, but my P4000 was stolen.
picked one up from best buy over boxing day after returning a BB storm which totally sucks
grabbed one last week, paid full no contract for it, but still think it was worth every penny, it's a great phone
I bought one 2 days ago. Just wish there were more roms and kitchens for it. ;-)
Just replaced my Touch Diamond with the TD Pro... exxxtremely happy. The Keyboard is a big refreshment - the size is no big deal. What is really nice is not having to try and scribe out stuff with TouchPal on screen keyboard. I still use TouchPal when I just need to scribe something quickly but there is nothing quite as nice as a keyboard to depend on.

Hi guys,
I have just found this mobile and I must say that I love it. The only problem is that I don't know where to buy it!
Do have any idea?
T.
Ebay. That's where I got mine.
But they don't ship to the Czech Rep.
If you are from Czech Republic, you can buy HTC Star Trek (Qtek 8500) on aukro.cz but you must have full registration (on aukro.cz).
Not Easy
I am in the UK, it was sold as the SPV F600 here but I can't find it anywhere not even on ebay, I have bought one from the US but its in such a bad state I cant use it so I would love to get my grubby hands on a good one.
Star Trek on Ebay this week
Hi,
I have a Star Trek on Ebay this week, it's a great phone but not really for me! I have an Excalibur as my main phone and have decided to stick with that instead.

It's all in very good condition - and it's the version with the larger battery and 128MB ROM, too.
It currently runs Pampooh's 6.1 Standard ROM.
Take a look and see what you think. I know these things are rare, and I can see the appeal as it's great to have a clamshell phone with so much power.
You may want to consider one thing and that is with the data speed. It is not 3G. My only other complaint is with the keypad. I would prefer a pad that you can feel. This one is more or less a flat surface so you have trouble feeling for keys. Otherwise it is a great phone. It's got a good solid feel to it and the flip design is desirable for many reasons. Personally I like to talk into a phone where the microphone is actually in front of your mouth. The biggest advantage is that the screen is protected when the phone is closed. I often wonder why nobody thought to move forward with the concept of a flip-smartphone.
at expansys.com they have it in B-stock (second hand devices) for less then 60GBP
it was so cool... i love the startrek and miss my old pinkish one
Newegg.com (US) has it for $99 brand new. I don't know if they ship overseas.

I have mine for sale, it is used and comes with all accessories. I can part with it for $70 +$28 for worldwide shipping through EMS.
I got a sprint touch Pro and i've had it for around 4 weeks. I must say, I am starting to think this phone is junk. It is slow, phone comes on and rings after about 3 rings when calling the phone, and I noticed sometimes I have to press something twice for it to reconize on the touch screen.
I am thinking about going to a Blackberry Curve 8330. Does anyone know if it is a good phone?
I have been thinking about switching too. But the Curve is very out dated with no WiFi and small screen. I would wait for the Palm Pre. Sprint will also be releasing new Blackberry sometime this summer.
Shacklock, I had a PPC6800 with US Cellular. I seriously thought of going to the Touch Pro, as my contract was up for renewal. In the end though, I went with a red Curve. I've had my 8330 for going on three weeks now.
There are things that it does better than Windows Mobile, and there are other areas where WinMo is superior. That said, I'm quite happy with my new BlackBerry.
If you buy one, don't load up on accessories at your Sprint store. Instead, check out Amazon. They have an amazing assortment of OEM BB accessories at bargain basement prices.
Good luck whichever way you go.
really? cuz i have a blackberry 8330 and i was looken to but the htc touch pro and the curve is cool but i dnt like the keys on it really there too small and the bold is comming out in late may or maybe july so i suggest u wait and if ur willing to sell ut htc touch pro let me know [email protected]
Get rid of the stock rom!!! Go to a custom rom....forum.ppcgeeks.com is a great place to find them. Blackberry's are all obsolute.
just lost my s730..... wanna upgrade to the ROSE......
What are you offering? Got an unlocked one in mint condition. Complete with Tom tom 7 installed to name but a few apps. Trouble is I am away for a week if we did a deal.
However, if you are interested mail me direct at [email protected]
We can communicate from there whilst I am away if you like.
Obviously comes boxed with all the bits. Cracking phone just fancy a change.
Regards
Andy
I also have one just about to go up on ebay - It's 7 months old, but locked to Orange. Comes with CoPilot 7 UK and Europe edition on a 2GB card. I'm hoping to get around £200 for it. PM me if interested.
As Andy said - it's a cracking phone, one of the best I've owned.

Hi everyone...
I thought I would post this here in the CDMA TP group as I am sure there is where most of your read.. I got a great deal on a US Cellular Touch Pro, but I need the sprint version... I did play withe the USC one, installed the NFSFAN's WM6.5.3 v1.04 TP ROM on it (which is awesome)... I have the box, some accessories, etc.... The phone is in mint to near mint condition (looks brand new).. Anyone have a simmialr condition Sprint TP they would want to trade?
Also, if someone is game, I have a Sprint TP as well (same rom), but cosmetically it is only like a 6 or 7.... I would be willing to trade BOTH phones for something newer, like a TP2... Pics are below..
Sprint one - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380917438/
USC one - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380916234/
Both w. Accessories - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380915016/
Feel free to ask any questions
I'm not an expert
Can't you load the sprint dcd file on the USC Touch Pro and call is good?
They are both CDMA. Right?
Yes, but Sprint will not activate non-sprint phones, no matter what rom and settings you have on it...
Have you thought of just swapping the keyboard and screen from the USC one onto the sprint one? That way you have the nicer screen and the sprint mainboard thus using it on Sprint without issues. Unless you are trying to get a TP2 this might be an option for you. If not then you might just look at selling both of them on ebay and then use the money towards a TP2.
This is just a thought though.
I did consider switching the mainboards.... But wouldn;t that be a lot of work? If not I would do that in an instant....
Then I would give the one in the more used condition to my son.... I gave him his first HTC for christmas to use as a skype phone... It was a mint condition HTC Titan (Mogul)... It works great for Skype.. But his brother has a fuze that he uses on GoPhone, I have a Fuze I use on Einstein Wireless, andmy spouce has the Sprint Touch Pro... so I could make both my spouce and son happy if I can jsut switch the board... I will do some searching later tonight about that...
I would do the sale of both phones indivigual and use hte money for hte TP2... but we use the one sprint TP as the everyday caller.. so we would need to switch at the same time or get some loaner phone... thansk for the idea though
I have a sprint one but the esn is bad. As of right now it's activated with MetroPCS.
well, I would need a good esn.. lol
got ya. wasn't sure of the purpose.
but i will say ebay is a nice place. i recently got $86 for a beat up crackberry curve. and tp's are running about $120 for okay/poor condition. so you might be able to squeeze out more. plus ebay has that whole list 5 for free. you still have to pay like 8% of whatever your bid wins but I find it a good deal.
