Has anyone used this with Touch Pro2?
According to HD2 forums - works fine with their unit - but am wondering if any owners of Touch Pro2 have tried this?
Thanks/DD
I'd like to know this as well. I can't find it available to ship anywhere to the USA... :-(
Ha! It is so simple and universal. I want this
I second that.
I don't think it will work well with the tilt 2 because you need to have a smooth back to the phone, and the speaker on the tilt 2 would likely prevent a good seal. Also, it doesn't appear to swivel for landscape viewing, which is a major drawback.
Anyone find something else that swivels but holds the phone so that the keyboard can come out?
Can only find it in the UK. Have posted several requests for shipping to the US. I'll let ya'll know when I hear something.

Found this on one of the sites:
"Mobile Fun Limited is VAT registered...
Goods cannot be supplied outside the EU (European Union)."
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally found a shipper who sells these and ships outside the EU!!!!!!!!!

I don't know where you're from, but here in Europe I've found this:

I'm thinking of buying one for me also.
Cheers.
I'm from the states, and most places wouldn't sell outside the EU.
OK, I just got the Dash Genie from Superetrader.com and so far my wife and I really like it! I will probably have to order another one just for her (even though she didn't want one at first, I think she plans on taking mine over!!!!!)
If any one was thinking about getting one, DO! I think the ones offered in the states are too bulky and ugly, but this is one sllek model. You'll like it, too (in my opinion!).
I've been using a brodit mount : http://www.brodit.com/images/512163.jpg which I've found brillant, charges, can be used in both vertical and horizontal, and can also be used with the keyboard, price is a bit high at about £40, but can be found on e-bay from time to time.
I have this one:

Works great in my truck.

Lesson learned, it looks like it was for the HTC Touch Pro 2. Dangit....Just wanted to share with you guys to make sure you get one that fits your particular model.
There seems to be a problem with vendors understanding the T-Mo TP2 has a different form factor than the Euro version. I am returning my cradle for the same reason. Be careful when buying an accessory that it will fit your US model. First time I have seen this problem with phones. Your TP2 is a special device ... I like mine very much. Pity that we have to be the ones to tell them their products don't fit our phones...

Where did you get it?
same here, got one from a seller in HK for 6 bucks shipped to US
doesn't fit.
anyone wants the TP2 case made for non tmobile tp2 can send me a PM, pay for shipping and it is yours.

this is the one i got.
It's because the T-Mobile "Touch Pro 2" isn't really a Touch Pro 2 like you can get from everywhere else, it's a slightly-altered version.
Thank T-Mobile. This way, you can get all your accessories direct from them! How great will that be! It really is better for everyone.

i almost bought that one, but i didn't because we don't have the front camera, so that hole made me suspicious.
only T-mobile have the entire phone remodeled... sort of
while Sprint/Telus versions widened the bottom end where they added a 3.5mm jack, so some of the rubber cases won't fit
However I just recently ordered a slide-in pouch from pdair which SHOULD work on ALL TP2s... because it's just it... a pouch... no fitting needed, just enough space to slide the phone in... or any other thing that has the same dimension... sort of
this one by the way:

I hate those case for slide up phones. The phone is already big as it is. With that case it will add weight and size to it.
I decided to use my phone just the way it is and get a hip case (EASECASE ) and call it a day. I will try and be VERY careful not to drop it.
i just bought a gel case from tmobile for 12 bucks. it adds a couple mm to the overal size of the device but it feels good in the hands and isnt slippery like the phone with out it. the only color they had was black and its not on they're website, only in the stores right now. i am quiet pleased with it.

lol, i am using mine with my tmobile dash (c720) case (with belt clip)
Man Thanks alot for being the guinea pig, SORRY no intent to insult you but I almost bought the pdair case. They are nice and alot of people have said good things about them. I was one click away from purchasing the case for my T-mobile touch pro 2 and i stumbled upon your thread. Its a shame that we are so limited to what we can put this beast in. I currently have my procilla ( thats what I call her lol) in my old sprint mogul ppc 6700 case.

Accessories from T-mobile!? ROFLMAO!
Does anyone know where I can find replacement screen protectors exactly like the one that came in the TMobile TP2 box (I couldn't find them on the HTC or TMo sites)? I am very happy with the one that came with it, except it seemed very slightly too wide, then of course I trimmed too much to make it fit, when leaving it alone was the much better option
Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for the replies. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a link for the U.S. for the HTC accessory store (but Europe very well represented!). I've been checking out all the posts about 3rd party solutions, but I was really hoping to just get the exact same one that HTC supplied. Is that one just not available?

Thank you. Looks like in the U.S. it only comes in a bundle with car charger and headset, but I wrote to support to see if they have any other options.
Okay, so since I'm having an issue with the styluses (I believe it's proper grammer?) I'd like to purchase one from one of you guys here. If i'm not mistaken, when you buy a New Tilt 2 It comes with an extra stylus. So, I want the original charocoal stylus. If anyone has one PM me or just post here. It'd be greatly appreciated.
Actually, since you asked...
From wikipedia:
There exists minor controversy about the correct pluralization of "stylus". The form "styli" or even "stylii" has become acceptable, even among major American manufacturers of styluses and online dictionaries, based on the assertion that it is a direct loanword from Latin. However, "stylus" is in fact an English word based on the Latin word "stilus", and is more appropriately pluralized in English as "styluses". Use of "stylii" is considered incorrect, as it is based on the nonexistent Latin word "stylius".

So, you are indeed correct! lol sorry, I just get a kick out of that every time I hear it.
Wow lol, so I have been right the whole time. I'm always seeing threads where people say "styli" and I get discouraged from using "styluses" in fear I may be wrong. This clears up everything and now... I will rule the world of styluses...
Please post your request in the marketplace forum.

They sell them on ebay all day long.

I just bought 3 through HTCPedia and though the price was good (3 for $19.99 incl. shipping) they turned out to be for Touch Pro 2 not the Tilt 2, so they were gray and chrome as opposed to charcoal and chrome. When I went back and looked at the site closer, I found I could have bought the AT&T colored stylus at $9.99 for one. I also wanted to comment on one peculiar thing about my purchase. Shipping within the US is free, okay great it takes 7-8 days to arrive, but it was free. When they show up, they show up in an envelope smaller than normal first class mail which begs the question, why in the hell did I have to wait 8 days for a tiny envelope to make it from one coast to the other when even standard mail would have maid it in 3? Really FedEx ground is the choice for sending an envelope than was barely 3" x 5"??
If I order again, maybe I will send them a SASE. Ha

Nice catch aasoror.... Docks are becoming more and more difficult to get lately. Even if purchasing in bulk if make sure they are physically in stock. Nothing worse than trying to order subverting only to find out your waiting even longer!

Merimobiles.com has the dock for 45 shipped. I got mine in two weeks and it works great.

i have read nothing but good about this site, fast shipping, reasonable prices. and i hear if you become a member, you receive a code in a newsletter for 10% off your purchase. the only thing i see that you havent bought for accessories is a usb portable hd. =-) i use a 1 TB WD usb HD. works flawlessly.
2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]
I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.
They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]
The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.
Regards,
Sre
Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?
For example, when you go to settings and tablet info what does it say?
If be interested to know if they've cooked their own ROM (which they shouldn't have charged you for) our of the they've sold someone elses?
I'm guessing others would like to know as well.
Thanks for letting us know about this....
Intriguing.
...sent from my 'un-stock' g2x
I don' know anything about Roms but I would like to know a little more about that jailbreak thingy too. Like where does one order that stuff from too.

Sent from my sexy white Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile.
I decided to make a dedicated thread, as in two other threads a few people were interested. Currently, what looks to be the best fitting tempered glass screen protector is available only in Japan. In both black and white. I have no clue on what price we can get, but I will leave this topic up for a week, and if we can get enough people interested, I will contact the manufacturer and attempt to set a deal.
Some links of the screen protector.

@Pilz @Philip @Novakingwai @nicholaschum @mmessina @SilentO @sesz @mpgolfpro @nlua @Svid @kryptikal @joshm.1219 @De5tr0yer @Dualwave @cadavjo
I'm interested assuming it actually fits the way that it should.
Edit: it looks like the price on their shop is around 32$ USD if you convert the currency. That's not bad if it works plus it looks nice. Its too bad iloome never came around and made one just like this.
I'd register an interest, but (1) I'd like to know whether it actually works - all we have to go on so far is the advertising material, and (2) I'm based in the UK, so a shipped-to-US deal doesn't help me.
If somebody on here could try one and confirm that it works, and they would ship to the UK (or ideally worldwide, given the global nature of this forum) then I'd certainly buy one.

No one is able to get just one, and if they ship to US we can forward to UK no problem. Currently, unless we find someone who lives in Japan and has an N6, willing to buy one to review it.. We have to trust the advertised video. However, I have never been disappointed with any products coming from Japan.. The Chinese knock-off.. well I wouldn't trust, although someone purchased one and will write a review once it arrives.
Just read the Chinese knock off is plastic, too bad I ordered it already...very disappointed
In for black one. We need this.

I'm interested in this. When would the trigger be for the order? After we reach XX interests?
I'd be in for one possibly two
I'm hoping this will work out and not be sh*tty because that would make a lot of people unhappy. I wonder if there is a way they can send a sample over for someone to test if we are doing a large order.
