^ the item description says that its an OEM limited white HTC Touch . soo am i getting the elf or elfin ? i says 64mb RAM and 128mb ROM , meaning the elf , but i thought only the elfin came in white ?
can anyone clarify ?
thanks ,

It is neither - It is actually a clone - they confirmed that it is a clone in the questions and answers as you scrole down the page. Before buying this make sure you know fully what you are getting and that you are OK with a clone. Some people have had difficulty flashing new ROMS on clones or even running certain apps.

ohh . so is it a clone or OEM ? some of the answers says OEM version while other says clone ?
does anyone know where i can get an htc touch or htc touch enhanced for under $200 ?
thanks ,

The one in the picture is definately a clone - Look at one of the pictures with the battery out and back open. Says made in China - True HTC such as mine says HTC inovations made in Taiwan. Also notice that the external antenna conection is not in the place it should be. I would doubt that they are selling any realy HTC devices - Likely all clones. I have not heard many people complaining too much about clone devices besides what I mentioned above plus depending on who you buy it from - you might have some difficulty with customer support

ohh ohhkay thanks !
do you know where to buy an htc touch enhanced for below $250 if possible ?
what`s the cheapest price ?

You want an Elfin? What contry are you in. You can search EBAY, However, watch out for clones still if you definately don't want a clone. If you are in Canada you can get one through ROGERS for as cheap as free with a contract and data plan (rather expensive their data plans are) I just bought mine straight up so that I wouldn't have to take their rediculous data plan (WIFI is good enough for me as there are tons of open WIFI hotspots in my neck of the woods) I don't really know much about package deals with other countries and other carriers. In Canada ROGERS is the only carrier that carried the ELFIN as far as I know. Bell, Northern Mobility, Telus all CDMA touch AKA Vogue

i`m from canada like you LOL . i don`t want a contract or anything , cause i`m planning on using my old ROGERS sim card . i`m from vancouver .
how can i tell if the listings on ebay are the elf or elfin ?
thanks ,

Elf information in wiki here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Elf
Elfin in WIKI here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Elfin
Still with EBAY you never know- Seller may claim that device is genuine HTC Elfin and when you get it you find that it is a clone or even just the plain Elf or even maybe a vogue and not Elf or Elfin because they just didn't know the difference. Just be careful and be sure before you buy. I don't know what other sites you can get one at that would be cheap enough but honorable / trustworthy. Maybe someone else can provide you with some links to some trusted sites. You can search through this forum to see if anyone is selling their elfin (used for cheap)

^
do you know if that`s real or not ?

I could not tell if this was genuine or not but either way it is not elfin or enhanced elf\
Elf has 128M FLASHROM +64M RAM which this device has
Elfin has Memory ROM: 256 MB SDRAM: 128 MB DDR

ohh ohhkay .
do you know any stores that sell the elfin cheaply ?
thanks

I just searched all the sites that I know I trust and they either are not carrying the Elfin or are selling it at full price 399.00 Canadian or higher even still. Sorry, I dont' want to recomend any other sites that might be cheaper, because I personally don't know them, never dealt with them myself and don't want to see you get screwed because of something I recomended. Hopefully someone else here might be able to point you to some trusted sites.

ohhkay thanks a lot for your help !
does anyone else know a site ?
thanks !

Airtel HTC HERO 2.73.720.5

Just got my Airtel Carrier - HTC Hero (unlocked) 2.73.720.5
Im surprised that everyone besides India have a 2.73.4xx firmware. Is it just me or did India get a smaller updated edition (revision) compared to the rest of the world, or is this just Airtel's doing of a little extra in the firmware/rom.
After running from WM to the iPhone, Ive finally made peace (hopefully) with the HTC Hero (Android). Being an avid Star Trek Fan...all I can say is I've got "Data" - what about you all
I did my little share of forum searching, but I couldnt find a single post regarding the Airtel HTC Hero (the last HTC Magic was locked with that stupid and insanely painful SPL), so my question begins with
1) Is the Airtel HTC Hero using another crazy SPL?
2) If so, what guide should I follow for unlocking (ability to ROM upgrade/change)
3) I can confirm that we are NOT locked to SIMCARDS - I can use my Idea Cellular Simcard just fine.
Added questions include - are there "Kitchens" like we used to have for Windows Mobile ?
Hope someone can help me out here - I'd love to be part of the ol' Cooking & Chef team

Nice to know that Airtel has brought in the latest version of the ROM.
Did you buy it with the Airtel dealer OR from a conventional distributor. At Bangalore, it is priced at 32K. How much did it cost you?? I am more of a palm guy...the palm pre just does not seem to come out.

I paid 33,600 actually Couldnt get a better deal and didn't want to wait a few more days since I'm off to USA tomorrow (rdosti = shivam)

Performance
Guys,
I am planning to buy Hero through Airtel and have a few questions,
1. Is the airtel version unlocked ?
2. Should I buy from Airtel or open market ?
3. Any reasons not to buy it ? Performance ? sluggishness ?
and lastly, is it simple to update the firmware, I am very keen on the new Android 2.0 update for the new google GPS app.
thanks in advance,
Jaspreet

Only the first part of 2.73.xxx.x bit matter. The "xxx.x" refer to carrier and regional customization, the ROM is basically the same.

have same phone, in China.
Hi,
Did you root the phone? I have the same phone, but i bought it in China for 3100 rmb. I'm trying, and im stuck on downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)
im going through this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548218
Hope it works. ill post results later.
