i have had wm6 will running on the Magician it runs ok all the problem is the sound doesent work phone call ects work with no problems and the camera and voice command shortcut dont work but i am sure some 1 could make a modified rom to sort this small problems out
well this is very interesting indeed. Forgive my cynicism, but could you please post some pictures mate?.
You may have given the magician owners some hope. I just hope its not a wind up.
i HOPE YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT `CHARMER'
Is This A joke ?
I am sure this is a joke..magician didnt even see the daylight of wm5 left behind wm6.....the best joke of the day!!!!
Oh no... the story is about to start all over again... once with WM5, now with WM6... the only breakthru we had was Big Storage by some russian guy... but he was never seen again. I wonder whether he'd have the knowledge to put any new OS on the Magician... if yes, I reckon I'd sell my <whisper>TyTN</whisper>...
its not a joke it will pop a picture on soon as pos should be later i used wm6 download of a download site that is named fotos.rar i will have use the girlfreinds phone cam to take the pics
its for the Magician witch is called the mda compact ll by t-mobile the pics will be low res until i get work in morning and use works cam also i get some video of it working
as i said before it does work ok but the speaker for ringtones doesent work so some one will have to mod the rom as i am not any good at that i can also post a backup of the rom wm6 on Magician if that is allowed if i can figger out how back it up

No.
T-Mobile MDA Compact II is *Charmer*
i-Mate JAM is *Magician*
silly people posting incorrect info
(says in silly voice) i bet vista would have a better chance of working on Magician.
is our jam that bad nothing works on it?
No i think it is a good phone, but ... you will stick to WM2003
im happy with the Jam, My wife has the prophet which uses WM05. WM05 is lacking some stuff i use all the time in WM03 like the memory balance
Jam (Magician) is not that bad.. as a matter of fact, some prefer Jam for their speed over the WM5 devices. And some prefer the WM2003 stuff, like an interesting example, the Word in WM2003 enables you to hand-write and type in the same document, while Word in WM5 doesnt allow you to do that. If you can hold down your though of.. the grass on the other side looks greener.. Jam is just another good device.
i get ya, i guess u guys are right

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

T-Mobile website has the WM 6.0 update for the DASH but not the MDA.
ok and ur mad.. why?
So please - lock in, download and share.
lol
i went to the site and the only update is for tmobile dash. thats all i saw. so please let me know if i am wrong
Thats correct. Windows mobile 6 will only be offered for upgrade for the T-mobile dash.
As we all know, the MDA has been discontinued and will be replaced with "the wing"
The wing will come with wm6 preinstalled. In my opinion, its a worthless phone. It's the SAME processor speed, and there are no tactile buttons on front for messaging or internet. instead, the messaging button on the side and there is no more browser button.
Sure it has a 2MP camera... but NO flash!
One of the "perks" is that it has a spring loaded slide out keyboard.... another opporunity for something to break if u ask me.
But does it really matter if t-mobile doesn't have wm6? All the great chefs will be able to get their hands on the official wm6 and tweak it for us anyway. Standard roms are horrid. And the unofficial wm6 roms by the very talented ichefs in these forums are working close to flawless

what roms should i take then? and are they build on a wm6 base of an wm5 with wm6 looks?
no the ROMs are are legit WM6, not WM5 with WM6 looks. the MDA has been discontinued. HTC, nor t-mobile will be giving a WM6 upgrade. I've been running WM6 on my MDA for a month though. Just do that.
RADIO NEEDED for MDA WM6, t-mob, WM6 needed

The MOST SERIOUS problem with all of WM6's posted here is the phone radio driver.
It would be *REALLY* great if someone is able to adapt the radio in this to the wizard wm6. It seems that the biggest weakness in the WM6 hacks posted here is the "radio." Thus far, only 2.19 is reported to be at all reliable (all others tested are reported to miss calls). I confirmed missed calls on 2.40 yesterday (SF Bay Area, t-mob, NTS vanilla).
But 2.19 has nasty problems with signal acquisition, especially when the signal is weak.
If this new phone has the same processor (OMAP), then maybe the radio will work, or could be hacked to work, on MDA hardware??

Quote from link - The HTC Wing S730 is powered by a Samsung SC32442 400Mhz processor, 128MB ROM, 64MB, and has a QVGA LCD screen, 3G and HSDPA support. There is also a secondary camera for video calls.
It seems to have a 200% faster 32-bit processor...
Are you sure it doesn't have tactile buttons? All I've seen is artist renderings and those are never exactly perfect.
Are you sure that it doesn't have a flash? I've yet to see even an artist rendering of the back side of the phone.
Where are you getting this information?

hmm I haven't had that issue as my calls seem to be coming through fine. Once the Wing is released, since it has roughly the same hardware as the MDA, it should be easy to "port" the t-mobile WM6 ROM for the MDA or at least the radio.

And like i said... NO flash... ONLY 200 mhz processor ... messaging button is placed on the side and no tactile buttons above the screen. Below the screen there is the ok and windows button (worthless)

Wish I could help, but I don't have the expertise with these to extract a radio. Hope someone else can give you a hand. "Nottoosmart" in the US has done a great job in cleaning things up and providing a reliable wm6. I don't believe he has expertise in the internals, but he appears to be very knowledgeable in putting a system together and removing troublesome "extras." Perhaps if you can get him a copy of the new radio he might be able to extract and test it.
Right now the RADIO is a huge problem. All of the hacks and "cooked" roms are worthless if the phone doesn't answer or work right.

What's your problem with it? Is it because it's a Smartphone?
I can't agree with you its cool phone but for people who doesn't like touch phones Maybe pda it's better for internet (IE) watching pages is more easy, big screen for moves got faster processor but for me when I saw a spv m3100 or m5000 then I was shocked how big and massive there're, so vox its good phone : he's got wifi, qwert keyboard witch the only minus is that I CAN'T USE IT BECOUSE OF F*****ING SIMLOCK!!!

Indeed. 3 PPC's compared to one SP. And the reasons are well explained.
funny... i got TyTN II and C600 - and still there are reasons to use C600
- U can easily use smartphone with one hand - it's really hard with palmtop. U can check it in crowded bus
- when PPC is in power-safe mode it's frozen - U have use much sophisticated code to write simple program running in the background.
- when U want to use phone as alarm-clock and Your child got great chance to awake before U what U will use - strong, compact device or device with bigger, more delicate screen?
and so on...
i will not buy vox - but i was plaing with on few hours and i would gladly exchange my c600 with it - it got all good features of smartphone and some of nice features of palmtop

Disagreed. While it's certanly not very sophisticated, it's WAY better than MANY other MS Smartphones.
I want to go back a little bit. i have googled... and searched through the Kaiser forum!
I am wondering if it is even possible to rum WM 5 on the Kaiser!
If so... Is there a ROM created?
O.K. I will bite...

NO...fast route to a paper weight.
a good place to start
First I will say, I don't care why you want to do this, if you want to, good for you, give it a shot. I myself have been working on getting windows for workgroups to run on my tytn II, just for the heck of it, I have had no success yet, but have been able to run windows 3.0.
Second, I would think a good place to start would be with someone who is familiar with cooking for wm5 and wm6, ask them if wm5 is compatible with the tytn II chip set and if the roms build in the same way or a different way. In other words ask them if you cook a wm5 base rom, the same way you do a wm6 base rom.
Third, you have to make sure the way wm5 uses resources is compatible with the way the kaiser shares and stores the os and programs.
A while back a similar question was asked about wm2003 and the tytn, the reason they wanted it was because the wm2003 os uses very little memory which would in theory free up resources pending on your needs. The outcome was that the way wm2003 runs and uses resources, was not compatible with the tytn chip set.
Hope this helps a little, you might want to hit up Erofich in a pm, he has done work on both os's, but not the kaiser.
