Which WM5.0 Device Should I Get

Ok, my PDA2K is running WM5.0 but as you all may know it still has flaws and well I have had it for over a year and think it's time to get a new phone, the only problem is that I have no way of seeing or using any of these WM5.0 devices until I buy it. so I wanted to ask all the users of these devices what they suggest.
Your information would be greatly appreciated.

so you're not able to go down to a store and try before you buy??...is that what you mean??

"other device"
I suggest the Advance TC M.A.G.I.C.

man that is sweet built in gps too, but I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out to be like the Motorola MPx

Actually, I've been in contact with this company, and they confirm a launch. A more exact date can be pinpointed by mid-April. They already have a sole distributor to handle things as well

well then I am going to look to you to let me know when who and if you can how much
I am sure like all new Windows phones it will hit the market at some outrageous amount right....
Do you have any additional info you could pm me??
Thanks

Check your PM box. I PMed you some details on the device. If you have any further questions, just PM me and I can forward to my contact in Advance TC

I've recently got myself the Mio A701 (used to have a JAM).
A nice PPC. Its got GPS builtin which is very useful and is only marginally larger than the JAM was.
Comes with lots of good extras - car screen mount, car charger etc.
And it's no more expensive than things like the JAMin.
I feel I've made a good buy
One downside is that being very new the Mio support website aint got a lot on it yet. But apparantly they are working on some ROM updates.
See it here.

o2 Orbit

Hello,
I am new to the site and I have just purchased myself an o2 orbit. I am really happy with it but also very keen to understand how I can enhance its performance or tweak it.
Will their be a section for this phone?
Sorry if I am being impatient but I am raring to go.
Has anyone else got this phone yet? if so what have you done with it? Also where can I buy accessories for it?
I look forward to your responses.
Steve

Orbit and TomTom
Hi
i am very new to this thread, so hello and i thank you in advance for any help people are willing to offer.
I am going to be picking my Orbit up tomorrow from my local O2 store. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that TomTom is definately included with the UK models. I have seen on a couple of forums that some people are saying it isn't.

I think your phone is in the Artemis forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=316

Obit
Hi all,
I have never owned an XDA but thought I would put a post about the Orbit that I purchased 2 days ago.
It is an excellent piece of kit .. By default it does not come with TomTom (I was offered CoPilot with a £40 contract but I already had TomTom so I declined. I have put TomTom on the device and it works brilliant .. it seems much more accurate than my palm version (probably more accurate GPS device inside).
I used TomTom for an hour today and my battery went down 2%! Brilliant.
Everything is good about the device .. the only gripe I have is that the microphone socket is mini usb (but I am sure there is a convertor out there for that).
The radio is good too (this also seems to have a minimal drain on the battery).

WM6 and HTC Home plugin for Qtek9100

Hi,
Is there anyone who knows if it's possible to upgrade my old Qtek9100 to WM6 (english) and how (mini installations guide)?
If this is possible do anyone know if it's possible to install HTC Home Plugin a la HTC Touch on my Qtek9100?
Look forward hearing from all of you...

Sure that you can upgrade to WM6 (because I, am a newbie, did it my self). Just follow instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Do EXACTLY step-by-step and it'll naturally done, not complicated at all!
About HTC Touch & Plugin, i dont know because have never used. I'll try later...

The best thing is to READ first then ask questions...
One more useless topic!
Sigh...

thanks a lot
...but where do I find the WM6 for my Qtek9100 or is it the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM (and is this in german) who is the WM6? If not do you know if I can have free WM6 for my Qtek9100?

Oh no you can't! WM6 for the Wizard would cost you at least a hundred bucks...
Well maybe I have THE solution for you:
Once again: READ! for God's sake!

Dear Quiyaro
OK I didn't know that and maybe this is why I ask. I hope not I get you to be angry because it's seems that I did that. I have been trying to find out by reading but I can't find the answers I looking for therefore I'm asking again.
In the first place I was only asking if I could upgrade my Qtek9100 from WM5 to WM6 and I got a long list of things that I should do before but nobody told me before you that I should buy a WM6 also.
Thanks in advance. I think I'll drop to upgrade my PDA because it seems to be a little bit to complicated for me but if you can help me I'll be glad anyway...

i-mate Ultimate 9502

I was checking some website's to find more info about the phone. And I've seen this:
Processor/ Chipset • 400 MHz Qualcomm® MSM 7200™
Does someone has this device. Does it have the video driver fix?? Can we get the drivers trought I-Mate??
Source: http://www.expansys.nl/d.aspx?i=158753

Someone????????

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you dug a little deeper, you would've found that the device still hasn't been released.
Actually none of the Ultimate line has been released as far as I know (and according to asia.cnet.com).
I'm sure we'll be all afire to pick apart the dll's on the phone if it comes with video drivers.

True True True!

So when it gets released, is it possible to get the driver from there and implement it onto our device? Or is it just a "we can try".

Think, when it releases htc has already released the drivers.

9502
Hey... here in Australia the Tesltra web-site says that the 9502 is having it's world first launch here in Aus... in early March! So maybe the video driver can be grabbed form it after all.....
Telstra also too a full back cover of PC-Authority to advertis ethe device and the 8502 as well... so pretty certain they will be here soon....

thanks for that review. I had been quite interested before impatience got the better of me. Glad I didn't bother waiting!

Slow down guys. Nobody knows anything yet. Several devices use the MSM7200, a few with drivers (LG), none have turned out to be anywhere near a solution, let alone an easy fix. Nothing is for sure until cmonex, oli, chainfire, or a couple other dedicated Kaiser Gurus get there hands on it, see how it was written, what's required, & if it's even possible. Even with the drivers, do we know if the Hardware is there & unrestricted?

Yeah sorry man
It's been one of those days. I think I've had to slap 15 newbies & debricked (well it was a total brick for them) about 14 Kaiser/Tilts.
I'll be sure to remember you next time though!

So has someone managed to get one?

Hey Guys & Girls...
I have just got an i-Mate Ultimate 9502,
was wondering if there was any ROMs avaliable for this device as yet?
I had the JasJam before this one and loved the Schaps ROMs..
Cheers,
Cat..

How are the pictures and video with that phone I was waiting for it to come out. I thought I had read it was not going to be released.

So tell us about your i-mate's performance.
Have you tried any games? Watched some videos?

The hardware is different between Kaiser and 9502 even if both are based on MSM7200.
LCD/video is different, Camera probably different, keyboard..etc and it is not like Kaiser and Polaris which are both made by HTC.
Cooking a ROM from different hardware is risky and might lead to a brick.
Please be careful.

Also, if they have the US version it has the MSM7201. The version of the 7200 minus the patent infringing features.

RAM upgrade

Hi,
This there anyone within the UK that could upgrade my Uni for a price?
From 64 -----> 128mb

Try www.retronix.co.uk.
Give them a call and ask for HTC universal upgrades.
The cost is £80 plus postage, or £50 plus postage if you supply the ram chips.
My venerable old uni is being upgraded by them as we speak. All I had to do was to send the phone to them. They take payment when the job is complete.
I'll post again when the upgraded phone arrives, just to let you know how it went.

Hey Thing, are you still cooking for Uni?
Nice to see that Orb and Jonny are still around.
I was supposed to get back my Uni today from repair, but it's missing
Let's hope next Monday my friend give me good news.
Cheers

Heyy ultravox
yeah, i was saying to a friend. The Uni is a dyeing bread, Soon i recon everyone will move to new device. I said i would move to a new device once Windows & comes out in full.

Hi All,
Im still kicking about as well, and still keep the Uni charged. I never did get the memory upgrade, is it worth the money?
Regards
Jay

Hey!
Great to see you around too!
I have not upgraded too as sending and receiving my Uni in México will be almost imposible due to customs
From what I´ve heard from Jonny upgrade it´s worth!

Hey Ultravox, good to see you're still active too.
I've come back to uni because the other devices I've tried (Kaiser and Magic) just can't compete for media playback, UI speed and flexibility.
I'm currently fiddling with a 128mb-specific build of 6.1, tuning the OS to make proper use of the additional RAM. I doubt I'll do a 6.5 ROM though, it just seems too slow and clunky to use on any hardware set.
My 128MB upgraded uni is now back (turned around in about 4 days). Total cost was £114 including VAT and courier to the south of England.
The phone's working fine, no issues with the upgrade so I'd urge anyone to give retronix a try.
They also do PCB repairs, so I bet they'd be able to fix a wonky USB port easily.

It's really cool to see all this guys around. it reminds me when I had time and patience to cook with THING, Tomal and Leo roms/kitchens.
Maybe I'll try to cook a rom for my HD, who knows.
Tomal as been missing from HD section. I sent him a PM asking for news and how it was but got no answer yet.
Next week I will get my Uni. Most probably I won't do the memory upgrade because of the cost, since it's my second device.
@ Simon, the repair was for free
Cheers

you can clearly see him solder the links together near the end of the video, I think the rest of the work is just cleaning the board ready to take the new chips and adding flux.

Thanks
Thanks for the quick response, you will copy the entire page and give it to people who will carry out this operation, the donor and is now waiting to go but all successful, as is understood in advance to install rom to support 128mb
