Dopod U1000 now available in Singapore

I just called Hardware House this morning and they confirmed its available at S$1998...
BTW, the store is in Sim Lim Square, #05-66...
I hope I can drop by today...

I already got my on the last Saturday, RM4150. By the way i'm from Malaysia. I thought Singapore should be faster?

Hi chtan,
That's Great!
Some say it is already available in HWH since March 24 (Saturday), but I was busy over the weekend, so I was not able to go to SLS...

I bought my from a mobile phone shop in Penang. If you source around here, you should be able to get an even better bargain. My friend got his at RM4050.

I got mine for my friend without contract at 9500HKD (About 1200USD)

Thanks for the input. Do we know if Dopod will issue a WM6 upgrade to its early adopters or will the U1000 be yet another device that gets stuck with the OS version that it is delivered with?

In HTC/Dopod's history and attitude towards its loyal early adaptor....
It is very likely we need to get WM6 via unoffical channel. (Like Hermes)
Especially, the model# change from 7500/ 7501...

Hah. www.dopodasia.com says new products from April 07 will come with WM6... Might as well wait a few more weeks before making a decision. Thanks for the pointer.

U1000 is no longer a "new" product.

hi
well budget is the limit this seems to be the only android phone which is in my budget thanks for ur kind reply

Tattoo is fine but...
Hey There,
This depends on whether you really need XDA support or not, I know we all here do to tweak our phones and get the most out of it!!
But if you are the types who does not play around much with the phone and wants an Android phone on a budged, I would recommend the Spica (has 3G but no GPS) and a larger screen, and is also way cheaper than the Tattoo.
Regards

just wanted to know if the tatoo is as good as my existing jade ie is it a good phone and yes i would prefer HTC
thanks for ur kind reply

Way cheaper than the Tattoo? It depends on where you are. My son paid <£110 for a Tattoo off eBay.
The Samsung is only cheaper if you pay full price.

[Q] honeycomb on the vega?

hey guys
im thinking of possibly buying the vega but wanted to know if theres any chance of it getting honeycomb?

The Froyo build on the Vega is AOSP (slightly modified) using the Nvidia reference libs. So until Honeycomb hits AOSP even the OEM doesn't know how it will work. When they do know they will tell the rebadgers (POV/Advent/etc) and then we may find out.
Unofficially we'll probably know shortly after Honeycomb drops in AOSP because we'll try to get a build running.

I have been holding off myself as it doesnt look to be running that great even on the cooked ROMS. I have been stung before waiting for a ROM upgrade or fix that never came. Not going to buy this until it gets a decent honey rom.

Well, mine runs great. Bang for buck, im super happy.
Performance is good n fast, and it does what i need it to do. Not sure where you got the idea it doesnt run well.
Id love to see honeycombe etc, but if they dont appear for the vega, ill still be happy with it.
Dont be off put due to lack of a particular rom

Then save your cash for another tablet. You know the old tale of buying a device for what it is supposed to be able to do in the future and not for what it does now? It tends to have sad endings

It runs just perfectly fine on the default roms and addons imo. It should be able to run honeycomb and I think it will in time... but there are no guarantees.
It's a fine device as it is now already though.

I've been playing around now for a day with my Vega. A very good device for it's budget!
getting honeycomb would be the ultimate treat for this sweet tablet
Let's just hope for now..

The vega isn't that bad, bang for buck its great, but the screen is horrible and ruins it big time.

True, the screen leaves alot to be desired, and I would have paid €50 extra for a superior screen, but really, for the price I paid, the tablet is awesome.

Yep, as reported here: http://www.fudzilla.com/notebooks/item/22069-point-of-view-mobii-tegra-2-to-get-honeycomb

I'd rather hear news by Advent. I have nothing against POV, but at least I know Advent has delivered once what they promised (source code in the end of January).

thats great news for us then!
from my small under standing i dont think i would be to hard to compile for the vega since it is similar to the xoom which 3.0 was built for and their is no need to get gps or data working which should speed things up

Here another good hint on this

I honestly dont care about honeycomb, all I want next on the Vega is Gingerbread. Any Ideas on that possibility?

If you look in the Developpers forum you'll find Cyanogenmod 7 has been out for some time. That's Gingerbread.
And I'm responding to you right now from it

i suggest the asus transformer.

I think 'cheap' is the magic word here...
so I guess a A-label like Asus is already too expensive.

you are right... I was looking at zt180 may be ramos w10 but for this one theren't enough rom and no honeycomb rom

Nook Color. Refurbished on B&N, $200. New, $250.
It's got honeycomb, froyo, cm7, and MIUI. Just no camera, and no 3g/mobiledata.

I second the nook. No tv out but over all a great deal. Can find it for 185 sometimes. Also the cases are discounted. Screen is nice and if you by a tablet with a crappy screen you will definitely regret it.

Again, Nook Color.

Thanks you all!
it's not popular in europe but in fact is excatly what I'm searching

Questions to 70it2 / 70B owners

Hello All,
I have few questions to 70it2 owners:
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
- How is screen ?
- Did you try to root it ?
If you successfully rooted it, I'd be interested in a dd of mmc to check if I can get the aos keys. It's completely safe for your device, and it would help me for the future...
Thanks,
LeTama

Archos 70BIT2
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
the charge is great, had no problem with it. It comes with 3 adapters from 3 countries:US, HongKong and Europe. Also with a USB cable and
- How is screen ?
screen is 7 inch and it picks up fast but regardless of the cpu usage but try not to use more than one app at the same time
- Did you try to root it ?
still looking but no one has not posted intructions to root it because this device just came out recently. I hope to root it ASAP because i have only have less than 15 days to return this. Thats all

Hi,
Thanks for the replies! Questions were a bit obsolete as I purchased a froyo it2 one (and killed it, but that's another story).

I rooted froyo it2, but don't try what's there on yours, it won't work. Root is a bit different on this tablet, but I can't do it without having it, too dangerous. Sorry!

Shame they won't release ICS for it...

Is it really that much different from the G9?

Yes, it's completely different, soc is previous generation, omap3, single core and slower graphics.
But I don't buy the argument that it would be too slow, we see it running quite smooth on slower platform. And it's supposed to be more efficient than Honeycomb after all.

He haven't written his model, is it a froyo or HC version?
If you have a froyo version try the SDE menu enabler make by Letama works like a charm (thanks again to you ).

Yes, I assumed it was Honeycomb one as it has been a long time since I haven't seen a froyo IT2, I presumed it's an extinct race

I wonder for how much you bought it. If you bought it at carphonewarehouse, listed as 70IT and sold for 99 pounds, I think you shouldn't complain...

i have bought it 110euros but i had 100euros of reduction from the firm where i work.
210e real for an error of marketing like my tab. It's just the reality, then i can complain lol
and i don't think that this tab will receive a good support from archos.
It was annonced an archos it first generation like you.
