The online support at club imate told me today

i-Mate already told me around mid-february that they experienced quite a few issues with 1.06, and would be holding back on it until they resolved the issues in it.

Club i-Mate acknowledges JAM Upgrade 1.06 issues

i think they're just lying and don't know what they're talking about... if they were to release a new rom other than the current one why would they post this rom to start with!!?!! or maybe they just stole qtek's rom and post it as their own.!!! this is getting really annoying.
this will be my last ppc based phone...

You're a bit suspicious but you're right, it's strange...

How could they ever stole Qtek's ROM? The cab files in imate's rom are tottaly different versions! Just think that behind the basic ROM is HTC and not Qtek or Imate! And as for the pocketpc based phones could you give me a better option that can provide me with all that software that exists for the Microsoft platform and works without any problems and most of all is tottaly compatible with outlook and M$ office? I would be glad to buy such a device! :twisted:
At least lets just wait and give them a chance to prove theirselfs wrong first and then shoot them on the head! :lol: They said they will release it tommorow, personally I will give them a couple of days more and then see what happens! On the past imate used to support their devices with the best and fastest ROMs, so just give them a chance! Even with their 1.06 ROM I am happy with my MDA Compact! It works almost like a dream and the only problem is the BT no device problem and that is far more stable than Qtek's ROM :wink:

I just learned from a Qtek representative that Qtek is actually HTC's own brand. So buying a Qtek device would be like buying a device with a Sony Ericsson or Nokia brand instead of an operator brand like O2 or Vodafone.

katsj,
you are right, but the problem is, i have tried almost all brands and i have never had a problem with the quality of the call... with this jam when someone calls i can hardly understand what they are saying!! i mean this is the first phone that made me lose friends because i can't hear them good... i have tried the 1.5 radio it fixed some problems but now the sound of the earpiece is very low resulting in losing the rest of my friends -lol- and there are other problems with the phone such as the cam but if they fix the sound that is the most important.....
btw sonyericsson makes the best phones I’m waiting for their next Pxxx series

The day after tomorrow is here...and no ROM update out from I-mate... :roll:
Regards,
Primoz

hee hee. The day after tomorrow is still two days away guys!

On the sound issue I am with you! And hear what happened to me! I used to have my MDA Compact (German) flashed with imate's 1.03 ROM the sound on the internal speaker was good when I was talking to someone on the phone! Then I flashed Radio 1.05 and 1.06 from Qtek that made my internal speaker not working while its sound was low and was coming and go all the time, simply it was unusable! The good thing for me is that 99,9% of my calls I answer them by my BT handsfree so it was no problem for me! The funny thing is that when I flashed my MDA Compact with imate's ROM the sound come back again on the speaker and its great since then! I really don't know what really happened but HTC should do something soon for this issue since IT IS the most annoying problem on JAM. As for Sony Ericsson they definately have the best sound quality on their phones! But they dont have a Microsoft operating system! I was a fanatic PXXX user but when I first used a Toshiba e800 and then a Qtek2020 I really can't go back to SE! I only wish SE will make a Microsoft based smartphone and I am sure the competition will go home that same day!

There was removed the WWE version of ROM 1.06 from the I-mate club site...they says it will be available tomorrow...it could be possible they are making some patches...or am I just wondering... :roll:

Primoz

katsj,
i read an article a while ago, that microsoft are to talk to nokia about a future collaboration bwtween them and sonyericsson with nokia ... so the dream might come true
here is a quote
"Nokia has announced partnership with Microsoft in a field of mobile music: a possibility of synchronization with Windows Media Player 10, support for digital rights control and online download of compositions.
Sony Ericsson has announced a similar partnership with Nokia. Collaborating with Sony Group the company will release musical mobile phones under a well-known Walkman brand. Let's remind Motorola concluded a treaty with Apple as long as in summer. "

Papadocta,
I will never buy a Nokia in my life! Their service here in Greece is the most awful service worldwide! And after Nokia 6310 they never managed to make a reliable phone after that model! More than that my brother in law has the local Sonyericsson service point and from what I hear from him neither Nokia nor Sonyericsson are planning to release a Microsoft operating system based phone! Especially Nokia who is the basic share holder of symbian would be like suiciding by releasing a M$ phone! They only plan to make some software parts compatible with Microsoft as the music playing you mentioned above. Maybe MAYBE Sonyericsson would do something but that seems to be far far away at the moment! I hope MDA IV will be a good device and that HTC will show its maturity after being in the market for a long time now by that model! So my expectations for MDA IV are very high! Lets see if HTC will meet those expectations this time! If they only manage to get the 2005 version of Windows mobile in MDA IV!!!!!!! :roll:

8310 and Crossbow?

has anybody test crossbow on 8310? should be working I heard

Should be, but no one test crosbow yet...?!

i would test, but have no source

Hey
there was a forum post a while back on some random forum, some guy offering a 'upgrade' service to crossbow, dont know whether it was legit or not
but, by the looks of it, the same way the himalaya recieved a WM5 rom aaaages ago, apparently, there the tornado will be doing so too. lets just hope theres enough people on these forums who will be able to develop the rom further!

am waiting for it too. the guy was was offering $30 for the upgrade but never responded to my email. must be out there somewhere

Anything new about this topic? I heard this forum had problems with Microsoft because WM6 ROMs showed up...
Is that true??

any update? i can't wait to try WM6 on the Tornado.

i would be more than willing to load it! if ever.

what is with crossbow for tornado?? Any news?? Few weeks ago I saw photo Imate sp5 with Crossbow... but I don't see roms with crossbow... Did anybody see rom wm6 for tornado????

IMate Store selling WM6 jasjar?

I was looking for a good leather case for my jasjar and ran across this at the imate store http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAR&ref=adwords its the jasjar for sale with windows mobile 6 does that mean we are close to a final

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
If it is not a mistake my next PDA WILL BE I-MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO MORE QTEK/HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTH! I guess the coder/designer of that site has committed an error.
But, I would loved to be proven wrong
edit: interestingly, he didn't commit similar error to other imate products(kjam, jasjam etc). Hmmm
edit2: more interestingly, the string(lol,doing lot of programming these days) "windows mobile 6" is written in red

Yes, you are right. Infact, it is priced higher that the comparitively newer JasJam($999). JasJar is priced at $1049 :\ Indeed odd.
*fingers crossed*

wow, this is cool information. I-mate prepared a official WM6 ROM for Universal.

Well, IMHO, all vendors should give WM6 upgrade to their WM5 devices since MS is not charging anything from them to do the upgradation.
Just saw somewhere on the web that the HP has announced to give their hx2xxx owners free WM6 upgrade. Now, thats too cool

I was thinking about the selling of my Qtek 9000, because Im looking for someting new (my favourite is Imate Ultimate 7150), but the official WM6 upgrade is good reason why still stay with Universal

This is a MIRACLE!!!

JasJar , Qtek, Dpod.. the same things. If there is JasJar WM6 ROM, we can upload it on Qtek as well

not happening
most likely they are flashing it with roms taken from here....
why would imate want to do this???
imate is supposed to have the worst after-sales service
and with the ultimate line (7150) being announced they have even less motivation

or ... maybe they are trying to convince the people that they changed !

afaik, HTC dont support the Universal with WM6, meaning that carriers can't either.
Most likely some n00b was updating the website and suck the wm6 stuff on jasJAR Rather than jasJAM (Which IS getting WM6, and yet it isnt mentioned here: http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAM)
coincidence?

Well, may be imate wants to sell the ones still left in the stock. Also, since MS didnt take any money for the upgrade to WM6, may be one of the imate rom makers made a ROM for JasJar to attract the people to buy it

But, imate has not yet announced to offer WM6 upgrade, unlike htc/dopod :\
edit: also, since imate has divorced htc from quite a long time, jasjam won't be getting any upgrade. afaik, jasjam is the only device which could have got the upgraded to wm6 because it was manf by htc. After jasjam, they came with the non-htc products

Coming soon WM5 for magicians

A guy from UK who claims to be official "Orange phone trainer" (Orange is a mobile operator in UK) claims that Orange Academy both Microsoft trainer and Orange employees were claiming that ROM upgrade for Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone (also for C550 smartphone) is coming.
If this would happen, then also users of other HTC Magician phones (like i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Vodafone VPA Compact, Qtek S100, etc):
... would also be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0!
as posted under the smartphone main section, I was at the Orange Academy today. Good news to come from the event is that Microsoft and Orange are currently busy preparing a WM5 upgrade for both the C550 and the M500!
We were obviously told not to tell the general public, as they want us to push the C600 and the M5000, but for existing owners, this is fantastic news
I own an M500 and he was blatantly waving one around in front of my eyes saying "Both these devices will have WM5 on them in the coming months..."
So god knows.. he did seem to know what he was talking about tho, being a MS Trainer and all.
Hersh...

thats great news, and no rumors like that ever appeared in these foruns... now I will finally be able to choose between WM5 and my pre-installed vista OS with a ps3 emu on my s110!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Im not saying it is or not possible just F***ING STOP POSTING ABOUT IT, RELEASE IT OR SAY NOTHING!
Even fakes are more welcome than those crappy posts "it is possible, one day it will work", "i think i have, oh wait, nop. i really dont understand english (wait, how did i manage to register here?)", "they relased it for my ipod, why not for magician?", "we can do it, if we just talk about it ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!"
When it comes out, if ever, IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POST!
In the meantime, if you really want WM5 or 6 or 7, go buy an expensive phone with half the mhz and more RAM that WM5 doesnt let you use, just because it has that damm gps you really have much use for and its not to show-off all your friends.

Rumour!!!!!!!!!
I believe this rumour came out about a year ago from another forum, and still nothing. i will see it when i believe it.
Don't think it's going to happen. The only way that this device will get WM5 is if someone cooks a successful rom.

Unfortunately, it's just another rumour ... read original post here:

im pretty sure that this is an MDA Compact II or the HTC Charmer and not a magician, because i find it illogical that a telco will still produce a rom upgrade for a very old device which no retailer is selling anymore, and while i still entertain the thought that it may be an unofficial WM5 Rom, still, i would doubt it. Such a rom would have been posted already here.

rumour rumour rumour.....its all fake people !

What a pity!
All the best and beautiful new programs are coming out only for WM5 amd WM6!

It is better to hear no information instead of misinformation. There will never be WM5 on magician .

Come on now, I have been reading WM5 posts for Magician from a year. Fed up now. Magician is a very old device. Dont think there will be a WM5 for it. Even WM6 is released long back. So if Magician had to have a WM5, it would have come out long back.
Why dont you guys try to load Google's Android on Magician. Would be much better
