One thing I have been trying to find is some place to show the differnces between the the different versions.
I own the XDA, read about the XDA II and know those differences from this site, but beyond when it comes to the XDA III, I have no clue other then the outside differences.
Reason I'm bringing this up is because I am looking to get the Audiovox XV6600 from Verizon. (XDA III with no camera) The problem I have run in to is knowing if the old hardware I have with my XDA will work with the XDA III. Specifically the GPS I use on the old unit.
I did read the forum entry about the conversion of a plug from the older XDA to the XDA III, but are all the pinouts really the same?
In addition, I have read so many varried reports on battery life of the XDA 3 I don't know which one to believe. anywhere from 1.5 hours to 6 hours has been stated for talk time.
Lastly, does the XDA III have the programable ROM like the XDA II has?
Will XDA-Developers be doing another In-Depth look at this model like they did on the XDA and XDA II? Would be really helpful.

The compatability of your GPS will depend on the software you use.. so if your using the same software you used on the XDA then it will work on the XDA II/III as the pinouts are the same.. most of the aftermarket connectors i've found don't have the metal shield on the connector (this is the only bit that would need to be modified to connect upto an XDAIII) so most things will just plug straight in.. others you will need to cut a strip out of the metal cover (see linked post for a better explanation)
All of the XDA* devices have upgradable ROM's
As for battery life.. I would say that my XDAIIs is satisfactory, with using PDA/Phone on and off for a day and the occasional MP3 playing session.. It drops down to about 40%. - That is about 1000% better than my Ipaq 4150!

Re: Differences between XDA, XDA II, XDA IIs, XDA IIi, XDA I
Thanks for the reply, Swifty, but need to clear up what I ment by programable ROM. What I was meaning, user programable for programs and data to not be lost when you hard resit. Good to know about the connectors. Thank you very much on that. The software is more then compatable.

I managed to locate this review to help in some opening light aspects. The Audiovox XC6600 from Verizon = Audiovox PPC6601 from Sprint PCI.
It lacks Wi/Fi just for a note. But at least you can have one added with an SDIO Wi/Fi card if needed.
What the review states for memory on these two is this:
It has a generous 128 megs of RAM and 14.57 megs of Flash ROM available for program and data storage.

I have read where some of the variants, specifically T-Moble MDA-III has 48megs of Flash ROM available for program and data, but the statement was in a forum that was not the most reliable...
More input and verification of the found information would be MUCH more helpful then simple words on a $600 purchase.

Yo. I ordered an MDA III but cancelled it after finding the XDA IIi on O2's website. The thing is, I really want a VGA pocket pc, not QVGA.
I read on a few sites that the XDA III/ MDA IV with 630 mhz cpu and VGA screen will be out in the first half of 2005? Is this info reliable?
I don't want to wait forever to buy an XDA but I don't wanna buy the IIi and find the VGA one released 2 months later
I am tempted to buy a Dell X50v and a camera phone but would really rather have it all in one package!
Please advise me
well if you do wait and then about the time it will come out
there is bound to be something even nicer out soon
maybe a UTSM pocketpc or
......
it's a matter of when your need gets bigger then your willingness to wait
That's true, but I still can't come to any decision.
Does anyone have any info on when the VGA XDA will be available?
It's just that I could get a K700i with a decent camera, and a VGA Dell x50v for the same price as an XDA IIi or IIs ! But it wouldn't all be in one unit
Wait it out but don't expect too much. Technology only gets better in the long run. This is going to be the first batch and will be open to scrutiny. Aside from this rely heavily on the reviews because usually when you buy a PPC you want to make sure it lasts for you the longest time...
Better make your pick definite...
Good luck.
guys!
Im planning to buy an xda phone the problem is im confuse which one I will hoose betwwen xda IIs or xda II mini, help... i want the one that will satisfy me most between this two
are those 2 models even made anymore ?
they are pretty old
your choice should be between hermes, universal and Trinity
It would also help if you told us what you are looking for in a phone.
I for one would never get a Universal, simply because of its size.
Got a brief glimpse of a Hermes in person, and liked it mostly (still seemed a bit sluggish despite the improved processor).
But then again, I am happy with my Jamin.
Hi Guys
Im looking at getting rid of my N95 so ive been looking at the HTC or XDA from what ive been reading they are the same phone. For buying one the XDA is cheepest.
My question is once its unlocked can i flash the XDA with the Cruise rom?
Ive see cooked roms for the cruise will they also work this the Orbit 2?
Thanks
Kev
Yes, they are the same hardware. They will have slightly different 'vanilla' ROM's though. As far as I'm aware you will be able to flash a Cruise rom onto an Orbit2
I have choosen the O2 Version. In Germany you got TomTom with German Maps. Also ther is more content like Car Adapter.
An the design is a little bitt better
got to disagree about the design, buttons seem a bit cheap on the xda imho and are slightly concaved unnecessarily ... just my 2p worth
So "Android Guys" has an article saying there may be a leaked Samsung ICS for the Note... Since the Note is also selling (here in Canada at least) as an LTE, and has the same processor, should that mean it's compatable with our phones?
Any Developers got their hands on it and tweaking for whatever differences (pen and resolution are about the only ones I can see in comparisons) there are between it and i727/i727R? <-- this part is the question ;-)
Hoping it might mean a solid ICS is "right around the corner"... I don't want to wait for a Rogers specific version, they usually take several extra months and have a bucket o' bloatware tossed in that takes a while to identify and freeze.

It's the exynos one. So it is different.

My infuse has gotten steadily less stable and functional since the day I got it, and I know it's the device because I have several other android devices that are months or years old and still work like new, even in some cases with the stock ROM still.
So I'm wondering if I should get the SGS III now (AT&T), wait for the note II later this month ($100 more than the SGS III) or TRY to survive until the SGS IV?
Galaxy S III will be 100 this Sunday at best buy. If that inclines the buy. Plus dev support is good I hear for the gs3. Trinity Kernel is amazing and dev supports the gs3. Plus the note 2 is gigantic Imo

I like the giantness of the note II but I can't really say what I'd use the processing power for. All I really do with my phone is doing things that involve reading (reddit, XDA, texting, sexting(lol jk), etc) and listening to music and watching movies sometimes. I'm not much of a gamer or multi tasker.
I might have to go to best buy tomorrow.
What do we think about the One X, appearance aside? It's quad core, has LCD (both + and -), and it has nicer out-of-the-box software. Just looking at all my options.
My wife and I have gone through a bunch of HTC phones in the past. Personally I don't like the quality. Talking to the at&t guy at the store he says they got better in that way. I'm still hesitant to go with them.

Everyone I know says they like the quality of the HTC over Samsung because they're solid and don't have a removable battery.

Again I can't comment on newer HTC, but my wife who uses a phone as a phone went through 3 of the original my touches before tmo swapped it with a moto clique. Then went with the my touch 4g and went through 2 of those before we parted ways. I had the hd2 and swapped it 4 times before I found xda and put android on it. Not sure but having to wipe the original operating system and replace it with one that ran off the microsd card to keep it stable enough to use isn't my idea of quality.
And issues weren't nit picky things. Constant crashes, reboots, phone and texting not working, factory resets just to use them.
Samsung us tons better in my eyes.
