I'm trying to sell it, but it's pretty hard to sell since you can't charge it!

Ouch!
If you have mad soldering skillz, you could try taking the phone apart, then buying a new USB jack from Mouser Electronics or DigiKey. That's assuming that HTC didn't use a proprietary connector and that the PCB wasn't damaged when the connector broke.
Otherwise, I'd say it's time to test your mad Google skillz to find a repair shop.

Maybe I can sell it here? Someone has to know how to fix it...

How exactly did this happen?
When I go to bed I charge my phone, and usually plug it in, in the dark.
I'm always worried about screwing it up so I do it very gently.

I'm the same way...
My cousin pushed the charger port in or something when I was sleeping... I woke up pissed. Went and bought a Sidekick 3, they're nice phones too.

Wow...I did the EXACT same thing ^_^ I just sent it in the Cingular customer support and they repaired it. Since they determined that it was from physical damage they made me pay for repairs but it was less than half of the full retail price so not too bad ^_^

Pocket PC Techs list USB port replacement as a standard repair for $60 (with a exception note regarding possible extensive/internal damage). You can check it out at http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~HTC_Wizard-511~area~repairs~item~REP-USBCON01.htm

That happened to mine when i dropped it off the desk with the chrging cable in, landing with full force on it.
Once you manage to get the stupid thing open (they like to make it tricky!) it's easy enough to re-solder. The pads are very close together though, so make sure none accidentally connect to their neighbour.

I'm selling my Ameo

HERE you can find my auction for a brand new in box T-mobile Ameo.
As it states it's brand new in box so is locked to t-mobile.
I am willing to unlock it if that is something the winning bidder would be interested in.

Just out of curiosity, why are you selling it?

Long story but...
I have a wizard (for tinkering), a Kaiser (for day to day use) and the ameo for on the go media etc.
I don't really use the ameo that often and it therefore spends quite a lot of its time in my bedside drawer.
Anyway i had the misfortune of losing it on the way to work a week or so ago and have received the new one as a replacement.
Thought i'd take the opportunity to recoup some money (and maybe buy a meizu)

Thats odd, I've been searching Ebay for 4 weeks now. Thought I had every athena/advantage/ameo/x7500/u1000 in my watch list but for some reason I didn't have that one.
Anyway I just won one 2hrs ago for £300 so looks like your auctions going well.

went pretty good in the end. got 360 english.

Man I've been looking for one of those for a while. It's either that or the Shift for me right now.

you did well there. the value of ameo/athenas is plummeting so if you're not using one now's the time to sell. luckily there are still some wallies setting 500 quid buy it nows on ebay so by power of contrast its helping us more grounded individuals get a better price.

The ones on there for £400 buy it now just don't seem to sell

It's probably because there's better stuff out there for less now. It's not as high tech as it was at the start of last year which was the one and only reason for having it.
I wouldn't pay 400 quid for any pocket pc nowadays as it seems that no matter how powerful a new device might be will never get over the barrier of being a windows mobile device. i like my internet and windows mobile just doesnt cut the mustard these days, so im not as taken to the platform as once i was.

In Car Charger

Does anyone know a website where i can purchase a good quality in car charger for my TyTN II.
Thanks

Just bought mine cheaply from ebay. States it's an original HTC and looks like one. Works well. I'd buy from ebay again. Search for 'OEM car charger htc tytn'

Bought mine on Amazon (germany). There's a lot of confusion though. Many resellers sell "original OR OFFICIAL PARTNERS" chargers.
Of course you only get cheap "official" partners stuff. It happened to me once, paid few euros, never worked, no charging at any time.
Then I spotted a reseller really pretending to sell only original, and it was the case. Original HTC cost more (here in EU I think more than 10 eruos is standard) that cheap things, and have 2A power (even though I still don't understand why but that's written on it).
Official one look like that:

At least it worked w/o any problem.

To my knowledge, the only example of this for the Tilt has been the Brodit active cradle - which happens to be one of the more reputable brands of chargers you can buy. That vendor owned up to the problem and replaced everyone's chargers and (I believe) also paid for repairs of the damages to any Tilts they killed.
The noname chargers won't brick the Tilt, they just will fail to charge it.

Any Mini usb car charger works. I just bought a motorola charger and it works.

It's not because this Motorola works that all will work! I had a totally unbranded one, it was absolutely not working.

What I did was get a Car USB to AC converter.. looks like the a$$ end of a car charger, except your USB cable plugs into it.. it's handy for everything... your Kaiser, Laptop.. etc...

Micro hdmi flicker then nothing..

So I finally have a tv with hdmi and I called around 4 a micro hdmi radio shack wanted 40usd for it I was like kiss my ass lol so I went to biglots a store that sells stuff that other stores don't found a 5ft cord 14usd the brand is (e source) I will include pics hope the don't get crappy after upload.. any way the cord mirrors acer for a second then goes blank just kinda figure its a cheap crappy cord so if that's true can someone point me a good cheap cord 10ft preferable please thanks guys!

Not sure about that particular cable but can say if it has Ethernet it is a 1.4a rated cable. One of the newest standards out. I used a cheap cable on my wife's Xoom and had non problem. Many places to get cheap cables.
Mono price.com. , merit line.com shoot even amazon and eBay. Maybe there was a different issue there.

I see that it is a crap cable I plugged it in again and it worked but it was a little off like with the picture size like I only see 2 squares of the right top side app draw button
Thanks I didn't know this was the new style I will exchange it tomorrow b4 I leave for Detroit test at my brothers house
Edit- also cable needs to be in one position or no pic its 100% a dud can't wait to play n64 or modern combat 3 on big screen!

Doesn't even say Google on it.

This is the exact box my Nexus 10 came in:

(not sure why it says Manta double though, only got 1 )

I watched a youtube unboxing video where he had it with a nice looking box with the Nexus 10 logo on it, I'm curious though, what else does it come with besides the tablet?

The pictures these fellas are showing are the shopping boxes. You still get the tablet in the proper original packaging inside of that shipping box, like the ones you see in unboxing videos
As for what else comes with the nexus 10 box. You get the tablet, warranty and quick startup booklets, micro USB cable and a two piece wall outlet charger.

Mine came in a plastic bag, like the shipping ones, no box. Inside that was the nice nexus box (somewhat battered because they shipped it in a bag)...

Inside the cardboard box is some plastic air bags, followed by the Nexus 10 box Inside the Nexus 10 box includes:
- Manual
- Warranty Info
- Wall Charger
- Micro USB to USB cord
- Nexus 10

That's great, I thought it didn't have a charger at all, thanks for clearing that out for me guys
