Currently got an MDA Compact on T-Mobile UK (ie: Magician) and my contracts up at the end of the month. Anyhow i've got the option to upgrade my handset, which is the better model to go for:
T-Mobile Vario (HTC Wizard)
or
T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal)
What benefits or extra features do either of these models have over the magician?
keyboards
and the universal have 3g
Ok now i have the 750v, i have it unlocked and using my HSDPA enabled tmobile account. Anyone care to guess at how to enable HSDPA do you really think it needs a software upgrade or is there some way to tweak as i believe the vodafone tytn had hsdpa switched off too
Chris
TREO 750V WAS RELEASED WITHOUT HSDPA. HSDPA WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER MARCH 2007 WITH A NEW ROM
yes there is a tweak to enable hsdpa. search in the tytn forum for "sethsdpa" it is for the tytn but it works on my 750 also
if you enable hspda on treo 750v and your on voda network then you will not receive voice calls whilst using hspda in either push email or browsing.
same applies to any device using hspda on voda network unless your north of the borders apparently.
we are all waiting for voda network to be upgraded :-(
I just recieved my xda exec o2 from the uk. I live in usa virginia. I had a t mobile mda unlocked with cingular service, or the old at&t and could get reception in my room 2 bars. With the 02 i cant get a signal unless i go outside my house and even then its a bit bad.
I had wm5 but upgraded to 6, i had the .9 rom, went to 1.8 then 1.5 still they act the same.

If you're with AT&T (Cingular) and in the area where they use 850 MHz for coverage, that might be one of the reason. Universal (xda exec) doesn't cover that frequency. Universal is a tri band and not a quad band phone.
ya u may be right, cuz the mda, erickson and razr all work in the house
i mean when i leave the house it gets better, is there anyway i can improve the reception this phone is so much better than the mda dangit

now I know what I have
Now after reading for more than a week
1.- I did try to flash it with the PDAJ Apache WM6.1 v2.02 without luck leaving the phone in Boot loader mode where you can read serial and V 2.0
2.- did connect the phone to the PC and you can read the connection USB in it then every time I try to flash it I get the error 150 this is not for this device or something like that
3.- After numerous attempts finally did flash it with the APA_VZW_20720_206_11000_WWE_Ship and in did it work
4.- at this time if you plug the phone to the PC you can see the main Disk (ROM I think) and the memory only so I keep trying to flash this with a generic one with the same results 150 error
5.- What I did was did change all the RUU the UI and the ROM Upgrade Ut with the nk.nbf of the generic from the APA_VZW_20720_206_11000_WWE_Ship to the generic and I have now the Generic one in the phone Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2
ROM version 3.50.00 WWE radio 1.10.00 ExtROM version 2.07.206 WWE
6.- If I plug the phone I can see now the ROM the ext ROM 2 and the memory
My question how can you change this to be use it with another SIM (company) ?
Thanks
the phone does have a sim card tray
so it insn't a CDMA.
Thanks for the add info.
now Im' not sure
Removable User Identity Module (R-UIM) is a card developed for CDMA handsets that extends the GSM SIM card to CDMA phones and networks. To work in CDMA networks, the R-UIM contains an early version of the CSIM application. The card also contains SIM (GSM) application, so it can work on both networks. It is physically compatible with GSM SIMs and can fit into existing GSM phones as it is an extension of the GSM 11.11 standard [1].
This interface brings one of the main advantages of GSM to CDMA network phones. By having a removable identity card, CDMA users can change phones while keeping their phone numbers by simply swapping the cards. This simplifies many situations such as phone upgrades, phone replacements due to damage, or using the same phone on a different provider's CDMA network.
The R-UIM card has been superseded by CSIM on UICC. This technique allows all three applications (SIM, CSIM, and USIM) to coexist on a single smartcard, allowing the card to be used in virtually any phone worldwide that supports smart cards.
The CSIM application, a port of R-UIM functionality to the UICC, is defined in standard [2]
This form of card is widely used in China under the CDMA service of China Unicom (The CDMA service of China Unicom was acquired by China Telecom in 2008) . However, it is also used elsewhere such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan.
I can see in the phone that the DATA TRANSFER in all the ROMs that I can find is EVDO or 1X I can find one with GSM with EDGE or 3G
Data transfer
CDMA: The best data transfer technology it has to offer is the EVDO technology, allowing for a maximum download speed of about 2mb/s (about 700kbps in practice), which is similar to what a DSL line has to offer. EVDO is not available everywhere yet and requires a cell phone that is EVDO ready.
GSM: Offers EDGE, allowing for a maximum download speed of 384kbps (around 140kbps in practice). More technologies are being developed on top of EDGE such as HSDPA to boost the transfer rate to over 384kbps in practice. This technology requires an EDGE-ready cell phone.
CDMA offers faster data download and would therefore be the favoured choice for data transfer. GSM is catching up fast however, but its EDGE technology
Is there a way to enable the EDGE or 3G on this phone?
Vodafone and HTC has launched Velocity 4G in Germany. Velocity 4G is Europe’s first Android smartphone to support LTE connectivity. Though the LTE connectivity areas are limited in Germany, Vodafone expect it to cover around 16 million households and 90 percent of the country by year end.........

I really hope the LTE process in the UK gets sped up and Vodafone can launch a network, then we have the truly first global LTE network.
Although is this LTE-Advanced or LTE? LTE in comparison isn't much better then HSPA+
