Hi, I am newbie to this board and I was hopeing some of you could advise me on the purchase of imate PC phone, looking at the spec's it is the same as XDA II is this true???
I have been given the offer of purchasing the imate fully unlocked, will it be OK to use in the UK????
How good is the support for the imate compared to o2 xda ii I have read a few nightmare threads about the support of the xda ii but very little on the imate.
Apologies if I have posted in the wrong forum.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

all imate, xda2, mda2, qtek2020 are triband phones so they work everywhere where you can get gsm support just like a normal cellphone

Which is the best phone to purchase for use in the U.S. on ATT wireless network? xda2 imate mdaII? I am a newbie so if addressed previously give me a break. I had a sx56 previously and am interested in upgrading.
They really are the same machine, so all will work equally well in the US. I think that O2 adds a good bit of software on the XDA II that will be useless with AT&T. The MDA II is a T-Mobile (Germany) branded device and the previous statement may be true of it as well.
I went with the i-mate, and I believe it has less provider-specific software than any of the others (the QTek 2020 is the same device as well). I have been happy with the quick release of updates on the Club i-mate website and very happy with the device.
The important thing to make sure of with any of these devices is that it is unlocked - that is, not locked to a specific provider (phone company).
And if it is locked..is cheaper.
Then you can unlock it and chnage from I-mate,O2,T-Mobile companies when you want.
HI, I wonder the Tmobile MDA Compact 2 is same model as the xda Atom? and it is sim lock, anyone can unlock it? Will the Germany lunach the O2 XDA Atom? I like is very much, but I heard it is already lunach in Asia!!
No, they're not the same. The Compact 2 is a HTC device that looks identical to the magician but is different internally. Others on this forum should be able to fill in the details.
The XDA Atom while it looks quite a lot like tha magician is a different beast altogether and is not made by HTC.
Can somebody please tell me if they have bought one of these phones in ENGLAND (ONLY INTERESTED IN ENGLAND). A simple answer of Yes, contact details of where the phone was bought and the cost of the phone AND/OR contract details.
HTC TYTN
QTEK 9600
IMATE JASJAM
ORANGE SPV M3100
XDA TRION
T MOBILE MDA VARIO II
DOPOD CHT 9000
XDA XION
VODAFONE V1605
HERM 200
I think that these are all the same phone. (correct me if I am wrong)
Kind Regards

Yes.
Several people have bought the Voda version (from the Voda shop in Watford) I believe.
Personally, I will wait for either the Orange or T-Mobile version (they will look different - better IMO - to the Voda version and will also have a better data package).

Any help anyone could provide on this would be much appreciated. I've already searched quite a bit.
I'm in Canada, I want to buy an XDA Orbit with no o2 contract, and I want some kind of warantee. Don't care where it's shipped from. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hey guys,
I have watched and read this forum for about 3 years, upgrading and modding my Cingular 2125 as things changed. I have ran into a bit of a problem with my phone recently and I am debating buying a new lcd and battery or just buying a "new" phone. And by new, I mean another of the same, I love this phone too much to upgrade to a new model. So my question is: I am on the Cingular/ATT network here in the U.S. and like I said, I have the Cingular 2125(Faraday). I was wondering if, in order for it to work on the same network, do I have to buy another 2125 or can I possibly buy a Tornado and thus get the WiFi? Do they all take Sim cards in the same manner? I have searched for this question but couldnt find a clear-cut answer.
Thanks in advance.
Buy a Tornado and unlock it using the unlocking software provided in this forum. Easy as pie and you'll have wifi. Also once unlocked, you'll be able to use the same sim card as you're using now.
Get a Tornado off of eBay. Search of an iMate SP5, a Qtek 8310/8300, or a Dopod (I forget the model). Qtek and Dopod are HTC's old brand names. I bought the Qtek 8310 for like $400 new several years ago. It was an awesome phone, so I understand your interest in keeping it. Both the iMate and the Qtek variations come unlocked and without any carrier bloatware. They will also work perfectly with Cingular/ATT (I know from experience).
As an aside, as much as I loved the Tornado, I don't regret upgrading to my current WM Professional phone, an HTC Touch Cruise, at all...just something to keep in mind if you don't mind spending a bit more.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Bought a new battery for mine which helped fix the power problem and the screen is a bit blurry in spots but usable, but if it gets too bad I will look for one of these other tornados that you suggested.
