xdaIIs vs xda-mini w/SD-wifi card - General Topics

hi guys! just want your opinion/advise on this one. both products are available here at my place.
im a lot into the web thats why im really considering "wifi" function. i know that you might think -- why not go for the xda IIs with built-in wifi?. well, its because im also considering the 1.3 mega-pixel camera feature of the xda-mini. but then again, the xda mini has no sliding-keyboard which is a "cool" and useful feature.
so . . . . im left hanging what to go for?
i would really appreciate to know your comments. thanks in advance.

wait for a couple more month. There is a Dopod 699 which has all of what you wanted. same size as XDAII with 1.3mega pixel camera.
Dopod 699 is available in Asia now cost about USD$900.

Just a Re
Hello bodge, maybe i'm not a master but i'll try to help you.
Actually IIi and IIs not same.... not only the keyboar but also the other hardware.
IIs : Camera (noy mega pixel yet, but pic quality better than IIi), the processor of IIs is similiar with II (Intel PXA 263 400MHz), quad band ROM 96Mb. SDRAM 128Mb, ofcourse keyboard, bloetooth v1.1
IIi : 1,3 Mpix camera 9but as i said the quality worst than all XDA), Processor Intel PXA 272 520MHz, tri band, ROM 128Mb, SDRAM 128Mb, no keyboard, bluetoth v1.2
I think IIi still better choise, but there will be a new gadget from XDA run with WM5... whoa.... now the question is: Buy IIi or wait.... XDA IV??? :?:
Hi cornelius
Thanks for the reply.
im due my upgrade end of this week so not sure if to wait for the new xda to come out in the uk? could be months or is it due to be soon?
If not looks like the xda11i is the one then.

It's Your Choise
I think XDA IV need more than a month to be released, right now the i think the best choise is IIi, don't worry about pic qualiy just waith for ROM update.... Anyway if you buy a new IIi, would you like to send o2 email (from their email contac) to ask about upgrade WM5 for IIi, because they need sufficient request for releasing that WM5.
Ok, have nice experience with your new gadget...

now im using dopod 900.
its did not give me problem like all xda does.
after using dopod 900
i find its very stable & im so pls with it
You'd perhaps be best with an XDAIIi. This will give you the functionality you'd need (don't get an XDAII by mistake - no onboard wifi). You could add an SD/MMC card for your audio. 2GB cards are becoming available at reasonable prices but 1GB would normally suffice (ebuyer.co.uk). If you're used to little phones like Nokias and Erikssons you might want to consider the physical size. XDAs are not small - especially in a case. You also will need to check this site for streamlining your device as they don't run at their optimum on delivery.

TV Tuner and/or GPS built in WM5 PPC to replace HTC Uni...

Hi,
I'm finally selling my MDA Pro (eBay item 300008341567 if anyones interested...) and looking for a replacement. To which I'd like to ask if any of you have any knowledge of these phones....
I like the idea of the TV tuner, which the G-Smart has, but can't find anywhere in the UK to get it, does anyone have any opinions on this phone, know where I can get one, or know whether there are any other phones with TV Tuner built in. Also, does this phone have GPS? Some reviews I read say yes, some no. (It's the black one I'm after, not the orange square one.)
The other phone is the Mio A701, purely as it's one of the only WM5 phones I can see that are quite fast and has built in GPS...
Does anyone know of anything else on the market now, or soon, that has a TV Tuner and/or GPS built in, that is a WM5 touch screen, pocket PC phone?
Cheers!!
Hello, i will never recomend you to buy any Gigabyte / i-teq phone before you read all my comments and also from others about this phone at pocketpcdubai.com , then you will know what kind of crap it is and what kind of support you will get, NONE.

What problems did you have with the phone? Software issues, Hardware issues, or both?

Sorry, I know you said comments at pocketpcdubai.com... but I can't get to that site, throws up not found errors
You might want to take a look at ETEN G500 (no tuner but pretty fast and has GPS) also the HP 6900 which has everything except a descent screen.
Any way in my opinion, most phones with GPS today are lacking in other features (usually WiFi) and it's better to get a BT GPS and a good
phone.

I know having 'all in one' device is nice but you always have to settle.

Hi,
I never really had any problems with the Universal, it's a complicated phone so will never run truely perfect. Like most things, you look for a fault, you'll find one...
The only things I could mention that were annoying, is it would sometimes take a while to ring and notify me of incoming calls, even with patches and fixes that others produced.

Thank's for your input!
I know what you mean about the "all in one" but it's just getting to a stage where my belt is starting to wear out with all the extras that I want to carry in my pockets!
I've seen that EOPS SDIO Tuner, but have only been able to find a foreign supplier for them, do you know if there's anywhere in the UK as yet? Think I'd sooner have the GPS onboard, and get a TV Tuner as an extra.
dont pay too much for a SDIO tv tuner here they already set the date to when they stop broadcasting analog tv alltogether
Hi every one.
Here you can read all my bad opinions on it:

Hello
Hi User22.
I was about 98% decided to go in for iteq x bond or gsmart as they hv come officially in India...but I read yr posts at pocketpcdubai and was horrified..though there are not much comments made on the handset, I thought what u hv posted shd be atleast 60% correct and hence decided to keep the Universal..But now there is a new ROM so do u hv any other opinions...?
Yes i have more opinions: Just received a new phone from i-teq, exchanged on warranty, it is working the same very bad way, including the lates rom. Also i allready tried the lates Ubiquio rom without any improvement.
I-teq still not answering any e-mails since 2 month ago to me and others users.
Go for any other company but NOT i-teq / Unitec / Gigabyte ( this one is the real maker but they also don't answer to any one that i know from differents countries).

ETEN M700 user review or info

Dear all,
Does anyone have this pda phone review (in english)
info so far ?
Can it work on skype ?
Thanks
http://shop.eten.hu/eten-glofiish-m700-p-100.html
Skype Receiver Switch on board
eten's PDAs work really good with skype AFAIK, but m700 is not a powerful device (i saw a review somewhere but it wasn't in english..)
if you want to know more about eten's PDAs' technical info and problems and stuff, check out this site
X_Farhad you saved with that link. I was considering to buy Glofiish X500 but after reading the forum I have relised it has too many problems. Comparatively, HTC P3300 is much better albeit a slower device.
Comparing apples with oranges? The M700, the topic issue, won in all direct comparisons with the P3300, hands down. Not even to speak about the crippled 3300-versions floating around from operators like T-Mobile...

well from my point of view, x500 is much better, there are not many flawless devices availabe... but the thing is, HTC users got XDA-DEV, and that's the true blessing
Admin edit: message removed because of spamming.
After a month of research, I'm going to go with a P3300 instead of the ETEN products as well. They have way too many problems and from what I can see from review, the P3300 has the least problems I've ever seen. The only issue that was really an issue was the "card corruption" issue and that was fixed with an official patch from HTC. The ETEN's not only have issues with their software and hardware, but they also have poor support from the company. Really wanted one, but just too much of a gamble at getting a good one.
did anyone patch their m700 to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch or any touch ROM?
i would like to do it

"Compared Specifications" Thread

Hey guyz,
well, It's that time.. in the next few months I am looking to upgrade my li'l QTEK S110 and I am looking for some sort of 'easy to view' pages to compare all the different pda phone models to see which will be best for me.
I love the size of my S110, so will be looking for something of a similar size. I'd like WIFI, as I work right on top of a couple of hotspots. Bluetooth .. well, haven't really used it.. um infrared? well no not really used that either, but I guess if its on the phone.. I'd love to have GPS, as I do travel.. um.. a full size keyboard might be fun.. but I have got used to just using a stylus (yes, it is a pain in the ar$e at times) I use my phone to play music and I sync emails etc using the excellent syncexpress. The obligatory USB connection is a must and a decent camera would be good too. I am currently using SD cards and have loads of 'em spare, so if the new phone used them as well, that'd be a bonus too!!!
So, can you good folk help?
Thaaaaaank you!!
yo dood,
you can help your self and check all the pdas with detailed,Compared Specifications on the market on
www.pdadb.com
BTW
hard to fined pda that support sd or mmc anymore,(the best now is minisd).
Ah!!! Thanks for the link! I'm off to check it out.
Much appreciated. ;o)
Any more out there folks?
HTC have a very useful comparison page on their website. If you're after a HTC, it's a logical place to look.

Yes, thanks Vijay, Actually, I'm there now! ;o) I'm just seeing at the moment if the Orbit/PP3300 is the only HTC handset with GPS. I think it is.
