I mainly want a good quality phone which I can also use TomTom 5 on. Which of these do you recommend I get? I won't do much email on it, but I will text.
thx
Well thanks for all your valuable input everyone! Not a single reply...

Well since you wanted a phone, and not a full-blown PDA, you've probably made the right choice.

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...
Hey there,
After some great times together, unfortunatly my M1000 has finally died: touchscreen does not work anymore. Since my contract is up I will not bother to have it repaired as I will be able to choose another phone... Here is my dilemma: Qtek 9100 or Qtek S200 which one of these two devices should I buy?
Cheers,

Nope... although I like the processor better and connectivity features better, I don't like the looks and I don't like the Micro-SD thing.... most of all I don't like the pricing of that puppy....
What do youwant to use it for? Do you need a hardware-keyboard? Depends all on your way to use it.

like most people: for phoning and pda-functionality...never missed the keyboard on my Hima and hated the thing on BA (used that device for a few weeks) so for me the keyboard is not essential.... how does it type?

If you are not so interested in the keyboard go for the prophet. The prophet has a sd slot so you can fit upto 4gb card. If you play music alot as i do consider the wizard - its stereo speakers are far superior to the prophets mono effort.
Hi,
I am a previous user of an HTC Blueangel and a SPV C500 when I was in France then I moved to UK where I choose a Blackberry 8700g but I am not feeling really happy with it.
I mean the Blackberry is a great handset in term of reliability and it is doing what it is supposed to. But it is not really a flexible. In fact, I found that the software range is really narrow and expensive. Also, I am missing the use of a stylus. However, the jog dial is really great.
Since I can use the MS Push mail with my company email, I am really thinking to switch back to a Pocket PC phone.
By the past, I really liked my SPV C500 but I don't think I can go for a Smartphone now, I think it won't be practical for writing email and so on.
To summarize I would be happy to have some people point of view of which handset would be the best for the following requirements (MS Push Email, I am not playing game, I am not using a GPS, I am using a Samsung bluetooth headset, listen to some music sometimes and watch some video sometimes, WIFI, sliding keyboard would be appreciated, possibility to use Skype or other VOIP system if possible.....).
Any help is much appreciated.
Finally, I have some newbie question:
- Is anybody using his Pocket PC with T-Mobile Web n walk in UK?
- If the device is not AKU is it possible to upgrade it to have this functionality (maybe flash firmware)?
- Does web n walk allow the use of MSN on T-Mobile UK Web n walk?
- For the MS Push Mail is it enough to have a data plan (like Web n Walk)?
Sorry for the long post. But I am a bit lost.
Thank you very much for your help.
Julien
I think the new TyTn / Hermes will be perfect for you.
Sliding keyboard, AKU 3.0 with all it's goodies, WIFI G, BT 2.0 400MHZ processor and 2MP camera as a bonus (+ VGA camera for video calls).
I am not on T-MBILE but I can answer a couple of your questions:
1) All WM5 devices manufactured today come with at least AKU 2.0 newer devices come with AKU 3.0 and up. Some older devices get updates from the manufacturer but not all.
2) All you need for push mail is internet access (GPRS / UMTS / WIFI) and an Exchange server on the other side.

Oops. My mistake, somehow I remembered seeing it with the green windows screen.
Still I liked it from the brief experience I had with it.
How is it working out for you?
The T-Mobile version of the Hermes is the MDA Vario II
Just in case you didn't know...
Thank you guys for the information.
Indeed I think I will go for the Hermes. The only problem might be the budget.
What about he MDA Vario (i.e. Qtek 9100) is it good? I am a bit worried since the processor is only 200Mhz.
I will try to see if I can trade my blackberry against a Hermes or another one (with complement maybe).

It's pretty good - see for example my game reviews, where I also elaborate on the given title's playability on the Wizard.
hi julien
check ebay and see what price you can get for your old phones.better than trading in !

Get the Vario II (Not the Vario)
Vario = Wizard = 200MHz
Vario II = Hermes = 400MHz
Hi all
ok i bought a ipaq hw6915 from eBay to find out it was a French rom and not English ( i am sending it back as the eBay description did not say this and no English rom is available )
anyway should i stick with my choice of the hw6915 or should i go for a o2 xda orbit as it seems to have more support from what i can see
i believe both are made by htc but it seems hp are not updating the 6915 to wm6 plus the English rom thing
what should i do / buy
regards
MrKing
iPAQ 6915 is a fine device. It has it 'all'.
Orbit has official WM6. If I were you, I would have stayed with ipaq provided that it used english language. But, if the language is a problem to you change it with another device
if you want to see how an hw6915 looks afte a few monts of using ( full of scratches, cheap plastic covers) let me know.
thanks guys
i went for the 6915 again and will see how it goes - if i am not happy with it i will resell it for same price as its used but not to old
Hi,
I'm currently using the O2 Orbit (original) phone, and have really enjoyed my time with it. HOwever, I am now due an upgrade
I am debating between the Stellar and the Orbit 2. I don't miss the keyboard on the Orbit (had the Mini IIs prior, which had keyboard of course), but I wouldn't be too depressed to have one. As far as I can see, there's not much to seperate the two phones, but from user experience, which one would you buy, and why?
(or can someone think of any other alternatives?)
A.
Hi,
I found the Kaiser (o2 Stellar) very bulky, that's why I changed. Also fm radio on orbit II, better touch flo experience. Check out the new ppc's from the Barcelona WMC2008. maybe u ll find something worth waiting for. but in any case, i don't think they will be in stock with any operator soon enough for ur upgrade. i d go for the orbit II.

I'm slightly worried about the Polairs' video driver issue... or is this not so much of a problem?
kaiser and polaris suffer from the same driver thing
people report that htc have bulged and will pay qualcom for the driver
they so far been too cheap to pay for
otherwise another possiblity could be other devices comming out using the same chip
like toshiba
Definitely go fot the Polaris, man! I'm tellin' ya
It's slimmer, more solid, and pretty And if you don't miss the keyboard of the Mini S (heh, I also had one, then changed it for a Neo (Prophet) and didn't miss the keyboard ), the Polaris is maybe the best PPC out there.
My opinion - BioTouch is much better than an old touch screen combined with a hw keyboard. And with the number of the input apps out there, it's the ultimate choice.
Tried Opera 9.5 yesterday - amazing. This browser makes your PPC the ultimate mobile internet device and combined with the BioTouch it simply rocks!
