can any1 tell me whats the hotest pocket pc phone today?? the latest and best buy... what brand and model... tnx... i bought my atom... but it sucks..... need a new 1... any... advice please...
I would recomand HTC hermes or Prophet
The first one has the querty keyboard the second one doesn;t
HTC Hermes / MDA Vario II (Same Phone)
Its going to be fantastic when it comes out........sorry, IF it comes out! :lol:
Some people say June/July others say Oct/Nov release time.
We have had a slight update today though as the MDA Vario I has been discontinued
Its already available by o2 in germany
Maybe they bring it at o2 UK also. Sorry if you're a t-mobile fan
The only bad thing about t-mobile is that they don't come out with many devices on the market as o2 does and they suck big time in bringing the new RUU updates.

hi, iv just registered to this site cos im looking for some info, i have an xda11i and i love it but its time for upgrade, O2 have mentioned about a couple of new pda's coming called the 'JET' and 'ICE' but i cant find any info on them anywhere!! can someone please point me in a good direction!!
thankyou
Here's a list of known HTC PDAs with the names given by the various providers: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
e.g. HTC Prophet is sold as Orange SPV M600, XDA Neo, I-Mate Jamin, etc, etc.
Maybe we'll get more info on them soon.
i looked thru the list, but cudnt find these 2 new ones. iv been offered a wizard, or a universal (xda mini s, or a xda exec) does anyone have one of these and what do u think of them?? rememebering of course i already have an xda11i or Alpine as its called!! i wanted an atom but it doesnt seem to be coming out anytime soon in the uk!!
The Atom is not made by HTC but we won't hold that against it. :lol: :wink:
I know three people with Wizards and they are all pleased with them.
The Universal is a bit on the big side if you ask me. :shock:
Hi, i'm looking to buy either a Tytn or an o2 XDA Trion......unfortunately they don't sell these here in Australia so i'm going to have to order it overseas......now just looking through the forum there seems to be plenty of minor problems with the HTC Tytn that people are having at the moment.......now for those who have the o2 XDA Trion, please post here any problems you are having as i want to know what would be the best choice for me to buy......right now i'm leaning towards the Trion because no one really has posted any problems with the device.....thanks
I have the Trion here in Germany and I don't get any problems that people are having with the Tytn or the Vodaphone or Tmobile one. Also I think the metallic look of the Trion looks much better than the Tytn. The only problem is that I'm not sure if you can find the Trion which is a English version. I thought the Trion is only availiable in Germany and hence the quertz keyboard. If the keyboard isn't the problem then I'm preety sure you can change the rom and there is a hack to make it work with the German Keyboard.
hi, thanks for the reply......i like the look of the trion as well compared to the tytn.....there is actually an english rom available for the hermes in the xda-developers ftp site......also according to a shop there in Germany (MG&C) were 'm planning to buy my trion from, they can change the the OS to english before they ship the device to me.....so yeah english rom is definitely available......
Please check the info from pocketpcthoughts.com ( http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=431833&sid=8677d091b08c0302e3ced2b69c56c152),
".................I asked Jason Gordon, Senior Manager of Communications for HTC America, for an official response to this, and he sent me this:
"HTC and its carrier partners will have Windows Mobile 6 upgrades available for a variety of recently released devices. We will continue to work with these partners to provide additional upgrades based on market need."
No further details, but it seems obvious that HTC will have some upgrades to Windows Mobile 6 coming out. Good news for all of us! "
Will our loved prophet be included in their upgrade list? Any more infomation?
What do you guys think?
dont think imate will release one, they kind of stop supporting htc product.
maybe only dopod and HTC brand will have a little chance to uprade to wm6. let's pray.

Since HTC has let us know that it will not roll out WM6.0 ROM's for currently devices running 5.0. I think HTC doens't agree with "Let's pray" but wants to hear you say: "Let's pay..".
I have heard that the Treo 750 is going to get an upgrade to WM6.0. But this is a Palm device, and not a device comming from HTC.
ok
So let's keep on make the wm6 roms dat we have more stable and secure...
He said it all!
"HTC and its carrier partners will have Windows Mobile 6 upgrades available for a variety of recently released devices"
The Prophet has been discontinued already!!!
By new I guess he meant devices that came out on the last couple of months or so...
yes, even if it doesnt come out specifically for the s200, there are other ti omap 200mhz devices out there like the s200 that have just come out. correct me if im not mistaken, but it would then be easier to dump a custom rom for the prophet then?
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

exactly. we should not even think about it now. which developer will spare so much time on such an outdated device.
were can we download Google's Android from??..thank you
sorry,for my bad english. it work in my 02 mini or not
This is just an interest of mine to know about how many of the devices are alive and still being used.
Please answer correctly.
The poll is reserved for the users/owners of:
HTC Universal / O2 XDA Exec / Qtek 9000 / SPV M5000 / T-Mobile MDA-Pro / Imate Jasjar / Dopod 900 / SFR v1640 / Vodafone v1640 / Vodafone VPA IV / Grundig GR980 / E-Plus PDA IV.
.
Of course!
Uni is my main device for working and personal
I use it to read txt files，very nice！
No plans to part with mine
even though I use a second mobile now, hehe.
You see, I always wanted something incredibly stylish, like LG Prada, so had a chance to purchase one in a messy state for next to nothing, repair it, bring it to brand new condition and use it... until I got a chance to get LG KU990 Viewty that was run over by a car, possibly more than once, hehe. So now I am torn between Prada and Viewty... and Uni enjoys its very own separate SIM...
The thing is, the only feature Uni lacks is elegance and grace, while both Prada and Viewty lack features (must add that hacking and modifying Viewty proved to be as satisfying as upgrading WM). Although the camera on Viewty is fantastic, I no longer use my regular Canon or Casio cameras at all, so that's another thing Uni lacks. Other than that - it's one amazing machine!
I also run my other toys for a day or so from time to time, just to keep the button and ROM habit - Wizard, Elf and a whole bunch of various others. And look out for new ROMs for my other toys as they come out, of course.

very handy for lawyers...
I still use my Orange SPV M5000, good as new
Very good for the Medical profession as well. You only need to look at the Voting in the Device poll to see how popular they are as well.

Qtek 9000 is my best friend.
QTek 9000 love it use it everyday and loosing to much time waching movies and listening to mousic on it. Also thinking what am i going to choose for my next phone. May be a triple e pc with gsm ??? who knows...
Hi Tomal,
meanwhile I use my MDA Pro for about 3 years every day. I use it for :
special studies and research,
telefon,
mp3-player,
video,
PIM
...and a lot more.
Your ROMs are one reason that I did not buy a new ppc up to now.
So, please, proceed in building your brilliant ROMs.
Yesterday I bougth a second htc universal (VPA IV) + 2pcs 64RAM chips in order to try an upgrade to 128MB Ram. I'd like to use your next 6.5 ROM!
So, please go on cooking!
Best Regards,
Thomas
Using mine for main phone/device and will keep using it

Universal is my all in one for the last 2,5 years.
I can get a new device but only with a 144€ discount. I don't want to pay 400€ more to get the HD, even more because I see no big improvement(taking in accoount the money to spend)
I would like to upgrade the memory to 128, but the only offers till now are 100€ which is expensive...
Cheers
I use it every day -Work and fun-and don´t see any reason to change for a new one.
Jasjar. gr8 processor
My Universal is my second favorite device, right after my precious Athena.
I hope you'll continue cooking your magical ROMS
i use my HTC Universal
I have O2 XDA, and i used to use it a lot.
recently i am using it less at work dut to new camera resrictions on some areas however i still use it a lot, as my phone, e-mails and even as GPS.. i can't go anywhere without it -
I'm using it for 2 years since now. It's my first mobile device!
So please, Tomal, go on cooking!!!
Shuvo nabo barsho!
Translation: Happy Bengali new year!
cheers
