Either you buy this one or the non-branded one, you wont have any problem (Theoratically). I don't know tho about the SPay if it is going to work in america. I recommend you to flash a non-branded os once you get the phone. If you are going to use at&t or t-mobile, you are not going to have any problem with the signal

Thanks for the answer. Just to clarify... this "tim" version.. I can flash it correctly? And if so.. this takes away updates if they were from Tim? Far as I understand this version is unlocked and can be used anywhere (europe first etc)

twDragon: Where did you get this specs? Because it is not Iolite.
It's a fake chinese touch cruise 09. Its external appearence is 90% similar to original BUT inside it's different. There's WM 6.1 intalled. The display is not bright enough, the sound is not loud enough and there's no touch floor 2d at all. Never buy such fake phone.
T4242 clone
I bought a similar phone, T4242 clone. The only difference is it has a Marvell PXA300 CPU.
It was probably a mistake, because it is basicly a Windows mobile phone, which looks like Touch Cruise 09, but without all the nice software feautures.
It would be nice to know how to set it up to load Touch flow menu/Today screen etc. If some has figured out what & how, please post results here to help us.
Some of us dont understand all the jargon, and need to be explained in plain english.
Would appreciate any help/advice
if i'm going to be running SPB Shell 3.0, why would i care about flow3d or whatever it is from HTC?
need to replace my current Polaris and i am really digging the Iolite (TC09).
might just pick up one of these knock-offs and save a few bucks on software i don't need or use.
that's funny, a Marvell processor is usually delivered with HP iPaq's...

Your call but I'd be very wary of these clones. As with cloned ipods, memory cards, Li Ion batteries, etc you usually are not getting anywhere near the same quality and durability as the original and definately less support than the real thing. They fail at a higher rate than the real thing. There is a reason they sell for the prices they do and often turn out not to be worth the price they were sold for. These bargains often turn out not to be when things wrong.

yeah, after reading this thread and thinking about it, i'm going to get the real McCoy
how can you tell that it's fake?
looking to buy a touch cruise 09, but darn, there are so many fake ones out there. how can you tell that it's fake or not, other than that the cpu is faster and it doesn't have 2g? but that would be after I receive it though. thanks.
Check the cpu speed, it is your best shot.
I have seen no clones with the original 528MHZ processor, but instead with
T4242 with WM6.5 by default should be clones too.
They come most of the time with a spare battery.
They may alter the name like "HTC T4242+"...
Also low price can tell that it's a clone.
hi, i bought the same phone.......it is a fake...help... i cannot flash via usb but i know that
it could be flashed via sd card. do you know something about it?
help me please.....

HD2 running on mtk os

Hi,
Well, to keep it short, I've been told by a friend in china that he can get me a htc hd2, but running on MTK OS instead of wm6.5, first i hesitated as i though it might be one of this ****ty clones that china produce, but he told me that it's from the main manufacturer whom already in china, maybe they produce it with this mtk with a good price due to high wm license prices...
I really like this phone but here in Egypt the price is almost 2.5X it's original price, so i thought i might get it and install wm6.5 on it instead of mtk, of course if it possible, so i need your opinion guys about this idea???!!!!!! and i would never find any place better that here for this matter....

===================================
thanks' in advance,
mike
sounds like a bad rip-off to me.. .
why don't you get your friend to send it to you, then if its good pay him?
If he's a friend surely he'll do that?
otherwise if it sounds to good to be true then it's going to be too good to be true..
I'd steer clear
3MP camera? Should be 5MP if its genuine. Also apps like peep or footprints are winmo apps so wouldn't work on mtk
yea, maybe you'are right,,,
i will tell him to send it to me, in my hands i will know if it's a genuine or a f***** damn clone(sorry, i just hate those Chinese clones),,,
the price is $250 by the way,,,
but if so,,,is it still possible to load the original rom and wm6.5 to it?????

probably not.. unless it's 100% genuine..
if you could ask him to send some photo's of this device i would be interested. if i'd really turns out to be a authentic hd2 (what i honestly doubt verry much) its a great deal!
As far as I know, HTC only has manufacturing plants in Taiwan and Brazil. I have not heard that the company has set up any plants in China. My information may be outdated, but I checked on the web about this just a few weeks ago.
My guess is that it is a fake, and that the quality would be very much suspect.
And that MTK OS is pretty much exclusively used by Chinese phones - I'd see no reason to see it on an HTC device.

You are quite right. HTC only produces phones using Android, the Brew® Mobile Platform, or Microsoft's mobile platform. The MTK OS is popular in China, and part of it is it can be set up to look like an original, without the functionality.
MTK is actually the processor name, short for Media Tek. Try google "T8585 MTK HD2" and you will find some info regarding the latest model. I read somewhere the latest update even have multitouch capacitive WVGA display. BTW, it is quite a good clone, running updated public domain WM6.5 ... and cost a fraction of the real thing. I wonder if anyone is doing a homebrew for this?
BTW, beware that some sellers might post wrong specs... its running dual Core, MTK6516 ARM9 460MHz (applications) + 280MHz (phone), RAM: 256 MB / ROM: 512 MB, dual sim and no 3G ... unless they release a new update.

Can anyone confirm infrared is on this phone? And that FM radio is not?

If you google it or look at any tech site's list of specs and you'll find that it doesn't have either.
I'm having a difficult time figuring out how the Edge has a 20% larger battery and about 8% larger physical volume than the standard S7, yet the S7 has 97% of the weight of the Edge. The Edge at 157g is decent in terms of weight for a 5.5" device, but the S7 at 152g has somehow managed to become the heaviest S phone yet, even outweighing the physically larger and removable backed S5. Overall the S7 looks great, but the weight is atrocious, almost a full ounce more than my S4. And with the weak looking glass construction, it pretty much means that I'll have to use a case (which the tough polycarbonate body of my 3 year old, 130g S4 has never needed), adding even more weight. Even without a case, the greater mass yields a greater impact when dropped from the same height. When I saw 157g for the Edge, I figured the S7 would weigh in at about 135-140g. What, did they add a chunk of lead inside to make the device feel more substantial? All else being equal, I think lighter weight is always an advantage. I carry my phone in my shirt pocket 98% of the time, and one of the biggest issues I had with the Note 3 I briefly owned was that the weight would practically pull my shirt off. The S7 is closer in weight to the N3 than the S4. Ugh. WTF?
Hopefully T-Mobile will have a 64GB variant. 32GB onboard is an improvement over my S4, but I'd pay more for 64 or 128GB, to go along with my 128GB SD card.
OT: Check this unboxing under water -

Cool thanks pal for not understanding the word "confirm." And this post literally says it has infrared, hence me wanting confirmation.

No need to be ugly. The only way to confirm what you want to know is to find explicit statements by Samsung saying that the device doesn't have those features, which they haven't to my knowledge.

Wasn't trying to start anything just didn't like how you phrased your post Didn't know if anyone saw something I didn't in any hands on video, or somewhere else. While I'd be surprised if it had IR or FM, it seems like it isn't confirmed either way.
I thought at least FM was making a comeback...

I'm having a difficult time figuring out how the Edge has a 20% larger battery and about 8% larger physical volume than the standard S7, yet the S7 has 97% of the weight of the Edge. The Edge at 157g is decent in terms of weight for a 5.5" device, but the S7 at 152g has somehow managed to become the heaviest S phone yet, even outweighing the physically larger and removable backed S5. Overall the S7 looks great, but the weight is atrocious, almost a full ounce more than my S4. And with the weak looking glass construction, it pretty much means that I'll have to use a case (which the tough polycarbonate body of my 3 year old, 130g S4 has never needed), adding even more weight. Even without a case, the greater mass yields a greater impact when dropped from the same height. When I saw 157g for the Edge, I figured the S7 would weigh in at about 135-140g. What, did they add a chunk of lead inside to make the device feel more substantial? All else being equal, I think lighter weight is always an advantage. I carry my phone in my shirt pocket 98% of the time, and one of the biggest issues I had with the Note 3 I briefly owned was that the weight would practically pull my shirt off. The S7 is closer in weight to the N3 than the S4. Ugh. WTF?
Hopefully T-Mobile will have a 64GB variant. 32GB onboard is an improvement over my S4, but I'd pay more for 64 or 128GB, to go along with my 128GB SD card.

I bet it has to do with the water cooling system

Isn't that in the Edge, as well? It's perplexing that the 5.1" S7 only weighs a single gram less than the much larger S6 Edge+ with the same size battery. Where is the extra weight coming from? The S7 Edge weights 4g more than the S6 Edge+, despite being smaller, but the significantly larger battery makes this logical. The S6 Edge is 6 grams lighter than the S6, so there appears to be a small weight advantage to the Edge design, but it seems that the S7 should have come in more along the lines of 140-145g. Not a deal breaker for me, but - other than sealed battery - the weight is the biggest negative to me, coming from the wonderfully light S4. I hope I don't find it too annoying.
