With WM6 supporting 320 X 320, it'd be interesting if someone could port the rom and run it on a treo 680!
Palm upgrade
On TreoCentral I read about an "announcement" Palm made to have an upgrade available for the 750. See http://www.treocentral.com/content/Stories/1090-1.htm
However, what I was wondering, is our 750 physical limited to 240x240 or is it just the OS that has these limitations? In other words can we potentially do 320x320 on the 750?
From what I hear and have been reading, the current Treo 750 is limited by the physical resolution more so than just the WM5 crippling the screen. I don't think that WM6 upgrade (if/when it will be released to current Treo 750 ownser) will "enable" 320 X 320 because of the physical screen, although I am dilsionally hoping that I am wrong! Wishful thinking.
It'd still be interesting to see if someone could "hack" a 680 to run the WM 6 operating system at 320 X 320
Treo 750's screen is phycally 240*240 lcd matrix, so it will never have 320*320 resolution.
Then, 680 will never run WinMobile6, so it's the vain hopes.
Yep, the 750v is only 240x240, no chance of 320x320.
Here's a thought; could I use a 680 700p etc. LCD on my 750 with WM6 installed ? Will the screen be a direct fit? Will Mobile 6 recognize it
I would be willing to track down a good LCD from a 320x320 screen and install it into my 750 if someone could confirm it would bolt right in.
It will not work...

..can you tell me/us why it wouldn't work?
Actually from what I understand, the WM6 update will enable 320*320 because the current screen size is actually a limitation of WM5. I know this is a Treo750 discussion but I assume you guys also have the same black border surrounding your screen as I have on my 700wx. The fact it will increase the screen size is actually one of the MAJOR advantages to upgrading because WM6 isnt that much of an upgrade to WM5 IMHO.

I've upgraded both of my Treo 750's and I don't get any more screen pixels then I did with WM5 (the black border is still there). From what I've read, the LCD on the 750 only has 240x240 pixels so you can't add what isn't there in the first place.
My original thought was, since the Treo 680 shares the same chassis as the Treo 750, that *maybe*, just maybe the LCD plugs are the same and since the LCD is 320x320, I would *assume* I would get all 320 pixels with the WM6 ...but I'm speculating. I would make the swap of the LCD if I knew it wouldn't make the smoke come out of my newly acquired Treo 750
700wx
i have a treo 700wx and am about to upgrate it to WM6, i have searched to see if anyone else has attempted it and am trying to find out if it would work. would anybody know if WM6 and WM6.1 would work on a treo 700wx, can they post a link for the download?

From all the specs I read, it looks like a great piece of equipment:
- quad-band (useful for me)
- 802.11 b/g (at last!!!). Wonder if WPA/WPA2 is supported, and PSK and/or 802.1x
-full-size SDIO
- Size looks to be between Magician and Himalaya (good enough for me!)
- BT 1.2 supported
- WM5.0...
So if anyone has anything to say about Eten in general and on the M600 in particular, I'd be glad to hear.
Cheers,
Hal

i was looking at one of these too. This looks like one sexxy handset!
not 4 me.
crappy samsung cpu, 64mb ram and useless 802.11g(it will take tons of energy if used)...
Qtek 2020i still the best.

I played with an Eten at Modaco.
Nice device, but fairly plasticy, unlike the aluminium sheathed godliness of HTC's stuff.
Nice to have the competition though. However, If i was going for a non HTC, I'd wait for the Atom = perkier.

Hal,
Do you know where this product can be purchased with a new abbonement in France?

As an owner of imate JAM and after reading all that about the warranty on blue angel and stuff I am going forward and I ll be ordering an ETEN M600 this monday morning!
At least it has full size SD and it supports SDIO!!!!
As for the quality mentioned above nothing can be worse than the firming on JAM. Have you seen the battery cover of the JAM???? How many of you have a jam that its colour didn't came off? Mine is becoming grey after the silver has gone in the back!
Anyway as for the samsung processor just think that K-JAM has the 200MHz version of it while M600 has the 400MHz one and I ve seen some benchmarks on the net showing clearly that tha 400MHz Samsung is faster in many tests than the Intel 416MHz located inside my JAM. At least msmobiles in their recent review say that skype works flawless something I never managed to see on my JAM or my friend's PDA2k.
So I will make a small review as soon as I lay my hands on it sometime after 5th of December.
And admins please create an area for ETEN users too.
I've seen the E-ten m500 (300 MHz Samsung CPU) in action and must say that I was really impressed.
Scrolling of navigation cards (Navigon Mobile Navigator 5.1) almost in real-time.
You'll need at least 416/520 MHz Intel CPU to achieve same results.
Don't know about battery life though.
Sascha
Sabo M500 has exactly the same processor with M600 and its clocked at 400MHz. I also saw an M500 and it was really fast and smoother than my JAM. Let me get my hands on M600 and I will let you all know how good it is!
Too bad there is no keyboard!!
The missing keyboard is one of the advantages of my M600 for me! :lol: :wink:
M600 in FR and lack of keyboard
Ok, I confess, I couldn't hold it anymore: I bought a K-Jam WWE while in Dubai last week.
First impression: not slower than BA/HIMA running WM5 (I have both - BA has dead screen now...).
It is the right size for me.
I tend to hate the keyboards, having been on Palm since 1995... The BA keyboard was laughable! But the on on K-Jam is real cool.
Keep feedback on M600 pouring please, I still find it's a nice piece of equipment!
My 2c,
Hal.

M500 has a 400mhz cpu
I had (still have, in fact) a Magician (JAM) till about 3 days back when after careful comparison of the various alternatives available (I wanted a WiFi pocket pc phone that was stable and fast) I bought the Eten M600.
Compared to my friends K-JAMs and JAMINs this one is really stable and fast. I can skype away happily on the M600 while my friends struggle to start up skype on their JAMINs. I make calls on Skype while they listen to garbage trying to make one.
Eten rocks, and at a price that $150 cheaper (including a free 1GB SD Card) than the JAMIN its too good a deal to ignore. @ HTC - competition has arrived, and in style!
Browsing for a phone to replace my Hermes, I found this!
It's the Toshiba Portégé G900, it has EDGE (no HSDPA but I can live with that)
a 416MHz processor, 128MB of RAM miniSD, windows mobile 6, A screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, WiFi, bluetooth, full QWERTY keyboard etc.
BUT I've never actually heard of Toshiba making phones
Should I stick with the Hermes? or go for the Toshiba?
i believe that htc also get their gsm part oem from another company
nothing wrong with that same way they get their lcd displays
thosiba made pda's for a long time though
but personaly i dont see why it would be a step up over the hermes apart from the higher res
and a step down to go to edge from umts
it has about the same processor, double the RAM, fingerprint/gimmick reader
it kinda appeals to me (even though i want a TRUE pocket size phone )
p.s. what is the difference between umts and edge? my service provider says theyre just as fast :/
it DOES have UMTS and HSPDA.
http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-14182-Toshiba+in+Paris:+the+Portégé+G900.html
" my service provider says theyre just as fast"
typicaly service providers know as much about such things
as normal supermarket salespeople knows about the computers/hardware they sell
of cause it could be that their company have issues making umts work
GPRS == up to 115 kbps but more like 30 to 80 kbps irl.
EDGE == up to 236kbps but more like 100 to 160 kbps irl
UMTS == supports up to 2Mbps, but in real life deployments is limited to 384 kbps.
HSDPA == support up to 14 Mbps, but irl will prob be between 4 and 5 Mbps.
i like the screen of that toshiba but worry that old applications may have issues with such a res :S
The link posted by Heov (post # 4) states that the RAM is 64 MB.
Are we all sure that it is 128 MB. Is there an official Toshiba page which I believe would be more reliable source of information regarding memory specifications.
Regards

yeah, it's 64mb "internal memory" which means STORAGE (availalbe storage). toshiba's spec page is 128mb ram. ppl have confirmed this in other forums.
sound pretty good then! I'll need to hold it in my hands first though, so I'll know it feels right aswell!
I did search for a smaller phone than my hermes with a full qwerty keyboard Anyone have any info on the S730 I doubt it'll come out soon after the vox launch though......
Got it!
800x480 !
Ill get one tomorrow and post my comments asap ....
Not so happy
Got the G900 4 days ago but am not pleased with it at all
Did you even bother having a look at the BIG Tosh G900 Post in this forum? All of your concerns have already been discussed.
Uhh no ...

Hey guys I love my Wizard (os xda mini s) but its so darn thick!! I like the other dimensions but the thickness is aweful. Anyone got the scoop on something about 17mm Thick, <60mm Width <110mm Length with QWERTY, WiFi, and windows mobile? Or am I asking too much?
=]
Thanks!
josh
The upcoming HTC Kaiser fits the bill -- it's about the same size as the Wizard but 5 mm thinner. Here's a size comparison you might find helpful.
even thinner is the herald (P4350) but it lacks alot of the features of the kaiser simply put it is a wizard but slimmer
Eten M700.
Thin unfortunately also means wide and long, especially if you want QWERTY.
Consider the Ubiquio 501 (WinMo5 PPC or 6 Pro): 122mm x 65mm x 14mm

No touch screen
i'd have to go with the wing/herald
Have you considered the S710/730? That has everything you listed except a lack of touchscreen.

I have one and I can assure you that the Ubiquio 501 is a Pocket PC/ Professional device i.e. it has a touch screen.
Review here:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5741.html
It now comes with a free WM6 upgrade too (check out Expansys).
I know that this is probably not the best place to ask but I may have the chance to upgrade from my Trinity to a new handset and am looking for opinions on which of the following would be a better choice as on paper they look very similar.
SE Xperia X1 or Samsung Omnia 16Gb.
I am fully aware that i will get little to no hardware assistance on here for the Samsung, that i can live with. The Samsung seems to be a faster CPU but with less RAM/ROM and a lower resolution screen. The Xperia's shortcomings seem to me to be the slightly slower CPU and a recessed screen which i already have anyway. On the plus it has a slide out keyboard, never had one and not sure i want/need one now.
Looking to run TomTom 6.5 and SPB MS3, being the two programs that have the most chance to cause me issues.
i have a x1 and tomtom 7 and spb shell 3 work fine on the official rom. also there is on the x1 section the Korean spb shell 3 panels (same software but as a panel so it does not override the wm today screen) that also work in english.
Hi all,
Basically I am planning to buy Diamond 2, since I am using Trinity P3600...
I want a bigger screen... therefore Diamond 2, HD2 is too big... then I am thinking, whether there are a 3.6" device (Touch Pro 2) without keyboard.
Even I see the road map of 2010 Q1-2, there are no WM device with >3.2"
screen. Then I search pdadb.net and found HTC Qilin with a strange CPU.
If it is Qualcomm CPU with at least 500Mhz, I would really think about it.
Any suggestion guys or gals?
Godspeed,
Volospin
