Hi Ranchu,
Pardon my ignorance (newbie here), where to get Martin Fields? Is it any shop that sells pdas in SL and Funan? And where is DOML?
Thanks for the info!

Martin Fields Screen Protector:
- $24.95 @ DOML and Mobile Square (safer to call in to check stocks)
Expansys:
- Battery charger: £32.99
- 1340mAh battery: £32.99
- USB Cradle (no battery charging slot): £14.99
- TV-out cable: £16.99
Weird that Expansys is using the wrong image for the batteries? The images show the battery used for HTC TyTN II.

Anybody also spot any accessories available online? Please post your findings.

I think you missed out the official HTC external battery charger... Anyway don't bother with expansys UK prices, email or MSN HK side and they will quote you a better price. Already ordered the charger, cables, and a spare battery which is much cheaper than SG asking price of 99.

Unfortunately Expansys is cheaper than what Singapore intends to sell the battery for...

I'm thinking of waiting for Brando Workshop or Boxwave or Mugen to start selling battery for Touch Pro. The price of the battery for Touch Diamond looks very attractive over at Brando Workshop.

I have no confidence in 3rd party batteries from Brando... Owned one for 6 months and the battery life went down like crazy really fast. Bought back the original battery and it was still able to last after 8 months. Gonna stick with originals now.

As for me, not gonna get the cradle, gonna wait for the HTC S100 to arrive.

oh I see.
Personally, I would not go for third party battery, however for others electronic accessories such as charging cable/adapter/cradle, there are just simple electronic circuits so I would not be so anal against
but who knows, maybe by the time I got my Touch Pro, HTC S300 may be out by then

I think I'll check with HTC regarding the battery availability/pricing when I make my trip to HTC Care, which will probably be this week. If Expansys is offering close to $90 and HTC is offering close to $99, then it may be more worthwhile to get direct from HTC since there are no shipping charges in the equation.

It's an unfortunate addiction. Imagine my pain when I walked down IT shops only to see a million iPhone 3G accessories and not even a single thing for the Touch Pro or Diamond even.

Made a trip to HTC Care this afternoon to send in my TyTN II for repair and found some accessories....
1) 1340mAh battery: $94.20
2) Battery & Unit Charger (with USB cable): $94.20 (

3) Generic Cradle: $117.70 (

I have bought the battery and will be ordering Brando Workshop's USB cradle to go along.

P.S: All the photos were taken using my Touch Pro. Forgive my poor photography. Nevertheless, the quality is much better than TyTN II already.

Generic cradle means it can fit most HTC devices, which may also mean it is a loose fit in most cases. And it does not come with battery charging slot.
As for the charger, the design doesn't even look like it is a sync cradle.
