As far as I know, they're long since out of production - Orange sold off their stock back in January !
Any reason you want the TG01 in particular?
I would go with something like the HD2 (then android it), or the HTC desire if I could have afforded it at the time.
TG01 is powerful, but the perhaps not a smart choice anymore (unless you can pick one up cheap, which is the beauty of them lol).

I have got one TG01 already and quite satisfy with it, just wanna buy it for a friend.
I think in terms of cost-application, that phone is the best ^^
Yup, in terms of value for money they are ace
So there is no TG01 available in the UK except for Ebay, isn't there?

I'm currently pondering buying a HTC Hero.
My question is though:
Would you still buy it right now or would you wait for the next android phone HTC is releasing (in the coming 2-3 months).
I'm currently torn between buying an Hero or waiting, I've read a bit about the HTC Dragon/Zoom 2 because it has a higher resolution, but the current specs state it has a 4.2 inch screen.
Which is way too large for me.
So, any current HTC Hero owners care to state their personal opinion on the matter?
Thanks
Would still buy it, love the design, and i have had it for over a month and been using it all the time .. It's the best mobile i ever bought!
Since a lot of android phones are coming out I would wait.
But if you are looking for a small and powerful device instead of a big smartphone then it's the right choice, in my opinion.
If you wait, you will always be waiting. The market moves so fast that there is almost a new device coming in 2-4 months that may or may not be better than what is out.
You can always Ebay it and buy another one if you want a newer phone.

Exactly.
I will be looking at the X3 when it is out, I was so keen on it I thought about waiting.
The hero is a great phone, bugs have been fixed and the Rom cookers are just getting going with it. Get the hero, enjoy it for a few months, suff it on ebay if you want a change and get something new in the spring- thats what I'm doing.
have it since it came out and the only thing i would change is the color, black or brown instead of white. nothing on the market beats it so yes, if i was buying now, i would buy Hero. HD2 brings great promises for future phones, but it's WinMo, so it's just a promise of Android to come with that hardware.

Why are you dissapointed with the white phone? Doesent it have some "extra" function that the brown and black doesent have? In my opinion it looks good..
would buy it again. the hardware is very decent, performancewise, featurewise & haptic-wise (a.k.a. it performs well, has all the nice sensors you could need and the look&feel is great also). the software has already been modded extensivly, and since the kernel sources are out since last week the real good stuff is still to come... if you wait then you will have to wait until the new device is released, then till it is rooted, then till someone cooks a decent rom, then for the kernel sources, then for someone to actually use the kernelsources... if you're not into doing this as the first person in the world then get an "old" (as in 'a few months on the market') device.
and just get the fact, you will never be up-to-date in the it business...
if you must go android, go hero.
if i had my time again, i'd go iphone...it's too 'early days' for android....
Buy the phone, it's really nice and it's always developing cos of the apps. I am happy with my phoen had it 3 weeks now and it will last well.
Hero 2 will be a while yet and that will be worth getting if HTC improve on this one and not stay still.
Get it, you won't be regretting it.
I would definitely buy it again.

I totally agree.
I came from winmo on a HD and now I won't touch winmo, although if M$ ever get their arse into gear and bring out winmo7 I will take look but it would have to have some killer features to lure me away from android.
Put simply Android is awesome, took me a few days to get out of my corrupt winmo mentality and get used to Android. The Hero is real nice , personally I could do with a bigger screen but if you don't need a bigger screen get that Hero bought now!

i'm not disappointed, i just think black and brown look a lot better. When i bought it i didn't have a choice, now there is. Also, i like the soft rubbery feel of the black one, teflon is nice but nothing really special. The soft black one is great.

Hi,
I agree with other posters, that if you wait, you'll always be waiting. The HTC Dragon looks like it may be interesting but by the time it's in your hand there'll be a 1.5Mhz phone out.
After years with UIQ and WinMo, the Hero is the best phone I've had. Sure the screen is smaller than on the HD but it's a proper, capacitive touch screen. Also no stylus.
Also the Hero feels more "connected". Even with the power and functionality of the HD, I never felt truly mobile with it. With the Hero I feel much more able to update my blog, my facebook, twitter etc. This may be due to the lack of a stylus but it also seems far quicker connected to t'internet.
Just my half shilling.

I buy my Hero, 2 weeks after it was released. I'm still new with android, ut i like'it i love'it. Usualy i get verry fast boored by a phone, i must say that i have'it for 3 months allready and it will last long for sure. In the place where i work i got wi fi, and i make a chalenge with my husband( He has a blackstone) wich one is faster. . I won!( Then our colegs start to cal us the htc family ) Besides allways u got something on the market for your phone, and think about, is an open source for development . So go for it!Just do it!
Go on buy it!!!
I would buy it again and again...
I was going to wait to see what is going to be coming out soon... but then I thought... why? If something new comes out - it's only a matter of time (usually 2-3 months) before something newer will be released.
You can't get better than the Hero right now. I've had HTC phones for a few years now and they have all been good.
Android is awesome!

I had a very good working HTC Kaiser with WM6.1. I used the ported Android which ran slow. But the experience I had with the ported Android, made me decide to buy the Hero.
You are Dutch, as I am, so why don't you have a look at Marktplaats? I bought mine there, too. Just ask them for their receipt they received when they bought it.
When you want more info, send me a private message.
as for a question: would I buy it again... YES.
as for a question: is it too early for android... YES
To be honest, I love it. WM is crap and we all know it. And for some people who don't want an I-phone, this is an alternative.
I have some weird principles... I haven't bought Nokia since 1994 - i know everybody had one, but I loved my Ericsson, i have never bought a BMW - I know it handles great and sometimes when I want to have some fun I borrow one from my friends, but generally i don't like it, I drive Audi, I will never buy a shirt that says D&G in your chest because it's just plain stupid, I prefer my clothes to be quality products but not to show off to everybody... and then again I have an I-pod because there is just no alternative...
And when it comes to phones I like to try something else than I-phone and Hero is the one to try... Gadget of the Year by "T3", Gadget of the Year by "Stuff"... I think we have a good phone in our hands.
And the fact that it is too early for Android... yes it is, but is it not wonderful to be a part of an evolution??? I think it is just amazing.
Hi guys,
By mistake, I broke the screen glass of my HTC Touch Cruise 09 . It looks awful, even though the touch mechanism was not affected. Do you know where I can find a spare somewhere in Europe with shipping to Romania?
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

Have you contacted service of HTC already? Or otherwise look here.....http://mobile.brando.com/htc-touch-cruise-2009-replacement-touch-screen_p04397c0695d088.html
Success!!
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the hint. I found this site (hopefully it's reliable ), as well, and ordered it already. Now, I'm looking forward to have my mobile up and running again.
Only the best!

Finally, the parcel came. It is more than a month since I was waiting for it. So, guys, if you want to order something using http://mobile.brando.com/ expect yourself to wait more than a month. Next step is to find somebody with proper tools to replace it, since the touch didn't come along with these. This is another adventure, due to the fact that nobody wants to dare to disassemble/repair it (at least, here in Bucharest).
Btw, if you find kind of repairing/dismantling manual for Iolite, just let me know! I'll appreciate a lot!
Finally, I have my Cruise 09 working back again. I borrowed a set of screwdrivers from one of my colleagues and I did replace by my own the touch screen. I tasted, this way, a high level of adrenaline, but in the final my work was multiple times payed!
Now, I'm happy again!
o2 'guide' - equivalent HTC screen replacement
Hi all,
I have an o2 'guide' xda that was dropped and now has a broken screen......actually thats my first question.....
1. I understand that there are two 'screens' (touch and lcd???) so how do i determine exactly which one i've broken? On boot-up i get no more than a black screen with a narrow vertical white/rainbow band......any thoughts?
2. Is it true that both the HTC touch cruise 2 and cruise 2009 are the same screens as per the o2 guide.....can anyone confirm this please?
3. Can anyone provide a source for a replacement screen as opposed to going back to o2 themsleves....i'm lost!!!???
Thanks for any help!,

ahhh i didnt't see their price! I just did a quick google product search and did it cheaper than the lowest found there, which was £469 justifying my £459 starting bid
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=htc+mozart&scoring=pd
You might get lucky on ebay either way, I've sold plenty of stuff there for above RRP.
How come you're selling? I played with one today, I really like the form factor. The screen not so much.

Yea got a bid so far! I personally dont like windows mobile 7, android all the way for me. This was the upgrade Orange offered as they dont have the HD for now and so getting this and selling it for one
I'm finding myself in a similar position, I wanted the HD but they have sent me this out. It'll be here Monday also. I imagine there will be more listings after Monday for sure, good thinking on getting that head start. I think I'd rather do that than pay £7 to send it back to Orange.

Exaclty yeah, I want the HD but they dont have it as of yet therefore selling the unwanted Mozart for it. I was the first on ebay but now there are 3 others, one of which was 'highly inspired' by the wording of my listing down to the letter at points lol but my lisitng is at £499 so far being lead by an American, perhaps they cant get this phone right now, VERY curious to see how high this goes!
I intend on picking up the HD from a Phones4u store as soon as the cash transfers

Guys, who all have got sgs2 today as promised by handtec in uk ?
R u guys happy with their delivery service ? Why no one has posted their new experience with this phone ?
One strange thing is bugging me, eventhough sgs2 is such a popular device around the world, why handtec still has huge stock left ? Is it because they have too much of stock or no one except few crazy people like me have bought it from them ?
I mean this is very strange for handtec, as new device gets released arlest we have to wait for min 1 month until we get the devices in stock. Atleast that's what happened to me last year when I ordered htc desire...
I guess the reason could be because of the samsung's thoughtful plan of releasing it throughout the world at the same time or around a minimum duration.
Or it might be because of lack of NFC which is preventing people from buying it online from uk ??? I think it's the least cause for the people to do it that way for such a master piece in the whole mobile industry till today....
This is what I guess whenever I see " in stock next day delivery" on their website now....
Anyone could possibly know what's the genuine reason for handtec still having the stocks in ???
no its because handtec is HUGE and they ordered a huge supply..

I just hope there is stock left at the end of the week. Because if AT&T/Samsung do not announce the S II U.S. launch date at their press conference Thursday, I will be ordering from UK.
It sounds like they are launching in 120 countries this week and next so I assume they made sure to have plenty of stock.
Any chance of them reducing the price of sgs2 to promote the sales ?
If it's like that, then I am here to wait for another 2 wks..... You know competition is always good for customer....
Samsung has really done a great job by decentralizing the availability of their master piece till date.....
I think it's foolishness tobexpect the price drop atlasest for another 3 months....
My bad..... I will order for one from them.... It would have been nice if the UK model carried NFC chip along with it.... Too bad that samsung played a dirty trick to boost their sales figures.....
Hmm.... Pls don't repeat this trend samsung.... No one likes it .....
Can we have some unboxing pics & new hands on experience from UK buyers.... Pls many people here like me are dying to see this sexy showing off it's true collies until we all have one in our hands.... Pls.... It's a request to those who have already bought it... Tease us with pics, not by just asking or commenting about new feature or doubts..... We as fed up of seeing those threads with questions about new features & unknown things about sgs2.....
Come on guys..... Do us some favour by posting things what we would like to see here....
it is actually a interesting question, why wouldn't they have stock?
They know how many are pre-ordered and they just got it from samsung, that's it
After all handtec is a big business, I trust their ability to fulfill all pre-orders and having a handful handsets left for sale.
Yeah I hope so.... Over a period of years they must have learnt s lesson on his to stay ahead in the market with many new competitors introduced.....
Actually it's a good thing gig them as well as for us....
I wish they have enough stick till I order one for me from them... way to go handtec.... Keep it up
Also I am dying to see someone post screen shots of unboxing & hands on review pls ... Only pics would suffice our desires to see this beauty flying in colours....
you'll have to wait for tomorrow for that...
They have same day delivery services in uk?

hello everybody!
I'm living in germany and the Evo3D actually isn't out till today, so I want to buy one from the U.K., because I thought of the gsm-network there, we're using the same here in germany..my question is what is better? wait until it will be relaeased or buy it know and ship it to me?
also were do you think it would be great I would buy one? at ebay.com or amazon.com? or from another site?

the sooner you buy it the better. (my opionion)
my reasoning (paranoia)
old software better than new. Hboot specifically
unless you are never gonna root it the just get a new one.
so if I would buy one now, I would might have the old version of the original rom from htc that I could root? because I want to root it, I actually use my XDA Touch 2 (HTC Topaz) with original rom from htc without branding, so I would love to root it......I thought htc has released opened bootloader for some android devices?
so what's you're idea? what shall I do know?

HTC did unlock boot loader, but from what I've read there are a few more obstacles with that method. Maybe i'm old school but I'd much rather rely on the guys from xda than HTC. HTC makes great phones but I prefer the software from hackers.
ok, so you would say that it would be good to buy one now? ok, but the question is from where? I've seen many auctions and 'buy now' offers at ebay.com (for me ebay.de, but it doesn't matter and they were all something like 450-600euro...so what do you think about?

i dont know how much that is but i buy and sell the evo 3D here in USA for around $250-$300 US dollars . thats a used one with CDMA . not sure how that translates to euro or if the GSM is priced differently.
hm.....so my only option to get one is to buy one from there for the 450-600euros....ok, it's very expensive compared to cdma phone in usa so I have no option, thank you, will inform you here if I bought one

I've been playing around with making themes lately. Going to try to make a skin soon. Skins work on both gsm and cdma. Hopefully I'll have something for ya by the time you get your gsm phone.
