Win Mobile 5.0 (English) on Vodafone VPA IV - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

I just received a brand new VPA IV from Vodafone in Germany. Yup, it's really cool.
I am a US expatriate so I run WinWP on my laptop and PC in English.
The VPA IV is (of course) in German. I contacted Vodafone and they tell me that they have no English version of WM5 software for the VPA IV.
When I attempted to install the VPA IV software (primarily Active Sync 4.2, I think) the installation process throws up a warning that synchonization between machines using two different languages could be unstable and result in data loss. I discontinued the install and thought I'd come here first. Does anyone have experience with multi-language sync?
Is there any reason I can't use a "standard" e-bay English version WM5 CD-ROM to change languages? Will I lose any of the VPA IV functionality?
Does anyone have a better suggestion?
Another question --the VPA has both UMTS and WLAN. Does anyone know of a VoIP program that I can use on the VPA? I already have a VoIP account for my laptop so I'm just looking to establish connection, not open a new account.
Thanks!

Chinese DOPOD C730 <>= /VOX/S710

Ok so I purchased the vox in mainland china. However there is a big
difference its called the C730 and has NO WIFI. So I thought ok
CID unlock it via imei-check, i did. I tried to flash it
with the dopod rom and it gives a model id error.
So not only have they managed to make a vox not a vox,
but they have made it a special version that i cant flash
the generic vox software on.
Enclosed are a couple of pictures.
Details.
Dopod C730
Windows Mobile Standard 6
CE OS 5.2.1236 (build 17741.0.2.1)
Radio Version 4.1.13.41_02.88.90
RIL Version 2.002
Operator: 5.2.1236.17741
Manufacturer: same
Microsoft: same
Language: same
File System: same
OMAP850 201Mhz
Available Memory: 29.07
Total Memory 49.35
There is no MSN/HOTMAIL installed but does come with some useful
localized chinese language utilities. like an sms suite
that allows you to block junk mail. A language dictionary,
and a few other local nifty trinkets. Nothing worth writing about.

Samsung i600 or Blackjack issue

Hello all,
I purchased my i600 with Windows Mobile 5 standard edition. I had the Arabizer, keyboard, etc where I could read and write Arabic Characters. I learnt about WM6, got in the forum and I'm pleased it is working fine and dandy now. The one million dollar question now is how to I get the Arabic character-set, virtual keyboard, Pocket IE with Arabic support etc (as it was available when I first bought and had the WM5) to work on WM6. Technically, I know I need the Arabizer program, practically, how do I go about it, how do I find it, where can I download ?
Pls help.
Thanks
arabic
i live in dubai and far as i know for a lot of the phones with windows mobile 6 there is no official arabic characters yet. i have the same phone and i know there is none for the upgrade as there is no official wm6 upgrade for our region.
i was hoping you could help me in return. i have read plenty of forums to upgrade my phone but they are all so confusing. is there a way you could find a little bit of time and tell me step by stepp where to go and how to upgrade. i would highly appreciate it. ([email protected])
thankyou
how do you extract the arabic files from the avalable for download wm5 rom.
if you can extract the arabizer from the wm5 rom you can simply run it on any wm6 rom avalable for the i600
which is the best link that you used to upgrade to win6?

Kaiser (Voda V1615) - Need to downgrade to v6.0

Hello all
We have been forced into upgrading our hardware from the Qtek 2020i/HTC P6500 to the Vodafone V1615 (HTC Kaiser) for our nursing staff, the PDAs are used to run a specific application which runs fine on the old models, strangely enough it also works on the Kaisers that have WM6.0 OS.
I do however have 20 PDAs that are running WM6.1, the application will not run on these, I am looking to downgrade a test model back to WM6.0 and was wondering if someone has a WM6.0 ROM I could get hold of.
I hope someone can help with this "little" problem
TIA
Damian Byrne
Update
It appears the application is working now until it attempts to load visit details when it falls over, I am assuming this may be due to the .net version on the PDA. I am going to try and get older .net (cf) versions installed onto the PDA
