HDX1080.com down again?

[xxredmaxx]

I haven't been able to get on since yesterday lunchtime (UK)
Anyone else have the same problem?

I only took delivery of my HDX1000 on 27th Jan. Not impressed

Dont worry mate, is usually comes back up pretty quickly. Any way, give them a bit of slack, it is Chinese New Year....Glug, glug, Slosh, glug, slosh, fall over, get up, have a Kebab, all that sort of thing

And they will be closed until feb. 10...

Thanks for the replies people


I wonder if he knows his website and forum is not up and running.
Surely thats costing valuable business.

In this tough times that is not to be ignored.

Agree, being down now especially when a new firmware is available is bad timing.

But it's made me think, and in no way am I trying to imply this is the case with HDX but...

If an OEM NMT maker/builder/etc goes under, what chance do the owners of that OEM NMT device have of getting updated firmware directly from Syabase ?

[chris57]

Not again please

We have been through this just last month when HDX were not replying to support tickets etc. There is nothing wrong at HDX apart from the Chinese New Year celebrations meaning that the website being down has not been fixed yet.

We are not debating the same point again, please.

Sorry Chris, but I didn't see the debate but I'll go and look for it. As I said in my post it just got me thinking as I'm about to purchase another 2 NMT units. I think my concerns are valid ones regarding any OEM I am thinking of going with.

CNY celebrations ended Tuesday. Alex in Singapore based, as am I, so unless he is on leave and the only one in the organisation that can do anything about the site, claiming CNY as a reason isn't really valid.

Edit: chris, I just had a look at the previous HDX threads and didn't see any debate re Firmware support from defunct OEMs. Can you point me to the right thread ?

Two different countries, but at any rate, the Taiwanese companies I have business with are closed until Monday next week due in connection with the Chinese New Year.

[chris57]

We may have deleted it in the end as Alex reappeared and continued chat there afterwards was confusing.

When making a purchasing decision for a product that you expect to last years always factor in the viability of the company you are dealing with if possible. I do not know what the OEM partnership agreement conditions are and what is the agreement should an OEM go to the wall. Syabas are not going to discuss those or commit to providing support for a 'dead' company. Whether they do and with the similarity between models I would guess at yes. But that's just my opinion.

[baloo]

Thanks for the Beginners Guide to Purchasing chris, not sure I was asking for the basics. My question was purely on whether Syabas would provide firmware for a defunct OEM. If they have yet to release a statement around that then I guess I just have to wait and see what happens if/when the first one goes to the wall.

OMG THE SITE IS DOWN!!!!
I HEARD HDX IS DEAD AND THERE WILL NOT BE NEW FIRMWARE !!!!
I HEARD ALEX HAS LEAVE THE COMPANY TO WORK ON THE NEW Bollo NMP-SE SUPER BEAUTIFULL NMT !!!

Stop trolling you, before I get my ban stick out...... (keep it clean)

I'm seriously considering giving my HDX away and getting a A110 just to ged rid of that annoyed feeling i get when people are whining about HDX.. beh.
Can't you just close this topic?

I mean, it's an nmt forum, not a 'whine about HDX' forum.

[Do0m]

give it to me

I usually laugh at your comments but this time it's really misplaced.

Note to the other users: consider yourself DoOmed with every HDX whine added!
