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.

Hey everyone im new to the site, excellent information and tools lying around for these awesome HTC phones! I have a dilemma at the moment im due an upgrade next month with my carrier T-Mobile, im eligible to get any phone so I am trying to decide which would be better out of these: MDA Vario II (Hermes) or the MDA Touch (Elf)? Size and weight between the two if anybody knows would be helpful, also I am aware the Elf has the same 64MB of RAM but can anybody inform me as to which CPU the Elf makes use of or wether it is the same as the Hermes. I am curious to know if the upgrade from WM5 to WM6 has broken any applications in terms of compatibility. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Let me know what you think guys, this place is a fountain of knowledge
Hi guys,
I've just received my T mobile branded Kaiser. It's called the Vario 3.
As i am not looking to use the device with tmobile. Is it possible to debrand this device? If so, please explain how. My assumtption is that i'll need to upload a generic rom to the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please read the forum first, before you post a question...
Especially the sticky threads...
To be short:
We know it's called the Vario 3 / Vario III
...
You can probably unbrand the outside by rubbing some sugar against the logo's (I don't take any responsability for this, but it's known to be working on a T-Mobile MDA Vario I).
Th 'inside' is also known as the ROM an can't be unbranded yet...
Just wait untill we are able to CID-unlock it, so you can flash the ROM with an unbranded one...
For now you can hard-reset (format) it and jst after the screen alignment when it's counting down for customization soft-reset it by pushing your stylus up the little hole in the bottom of your device...
Good luck...
Oh, and...
Welcome to the Kaiser forum
Hi,
Sorry for not reading the sticky stuff, i'm just not that familiar with the technical terms for these devices so i thought me asking 'again' novice-style may be cool. Thanks for your help on this mate.
No problem...
I started out this way too, so...
I can tell you it's really worth it to dive in to this forum...
You can learn a lot if you check the threads once in a while...
Be carefull with advanced adjustments to your device, especially when you haven't got the right ROM for backup...
On the other hand, don't be scared to try out some stuff, because it's very hard to brick a device...
BTW:
Bricking means you screw up youre device so terribly (beyond repair) that it's turned in to a brick / expensive paperweight...
Just tried putting in my vodaphone sim into the Vario 3 and it says SIM LOCK code needed....Any advice where to get one from apart from t mobile?
Sorry...
I guess you'll have to wait...
pof is working on a CID-unlocker and probalby on a way to SIM-unlock it too...
I heard it's a difficult procedure, because the way it's simlocked is 'new'...
Maybe you can try www.imei-check.co.uk...
It's a paid service...
Decide for yourself if you're willing to pay, or have the patience to wait for a free solution...
I'm definatley sticking with the last one...
A month ago I bought a Q-Tek A9100 phone, with Windows Mobile 6.0. I am really pleased with this phone. But, my brother who lives in the USA, sent me 2 days ago the AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 5.0.
At first sight, the AT&T device has some things better than the Q-Tek (Camera, Processor, Weight, Design), but I'm not sure which one should I keep for myself, because the Q-tek has WM 6.0, and I have read here that you know a way to upgrade it, is it possibble?
I hope i'm not wasting your time, it's just that I'm a newbie on this stuff, here in Latin America is not easy to find the needed help about this devices even though they're bought frequently.. Your comment would help me a lot!
Please I'll be very gratefull if you send your opinion to [email protected]
Thanks

hey guys. i am in need of your help. is there someone out there willing to help me install a new ROM to my HTC Touch PRo? i am more than a virgin in flashing phones. pls, i need step by step instructions and the files needed to be installed. my htc is branded by orange Romania and under warranty. also, is there a problem if it's branded? will i loose the warranty ? i would surely appreciate your help.
pls, anyone? it's annoying to have a good phone with shi*y software
?

First you need to know if you have a CDMA device or a GSM one (with SIM card)
Then what OS want WM or Android
And then head over Rapahel section where you can find all kinds of guides to do what you need:

Good luck,
first of all, thank you for your reply; no one has replyed since ages... i think it is GSM, i bought it from Orange Romania and it works with a SIM. i have windows 6.1 , an i like the fact that i can edit word documents and so on... i know nothing about the android but i would like to change my rom/software for better battery and performance (it kinda laggs although the memory is at 39% and the windows 6.1 interface is.... -.- horrible to say the leaast)
i would like a guide for stupid people that have never had the chance to temper with their phones software.
best regards, bobby
