Thanks

I have a pre-owned JAM. Club i-mate wants 59$ first to even consider giving me anything.
I found this thread on clubimate.com and the persons email address is attached, please (our ROMmaster) approach him and guide him if needed.
HOPE IS IN THE HORIZON, I HOPE.
Whats the bet that hes got a Charmer?
Can't see the whole article but the MDA compact II is charcoal and WM5 out of the box. Yes, it's a Chamer. :roll:
It is ridiculous that ppl still post for WM5 when it is clear that it is NOT POSSIBLE (technological and/or driver wise) on Magician. We had that discussed a million times.
Why is there a sticky regarding Windows Mobile 5 in this forum? WHY WHY WHY?
That's why it's called

Well said. :lol:
There has actually been an HTC build of WM5 for every device since the Himalaya, a developer has to licence it to customise though, so unless someone is going to take it seriously and launch it through qtek, i-mate, Orange, O2, T-Mobile, and so on, you will never see it.
HTC did their part and gave them a choice, nobody was interested though.
The Himalaya and Blue Angel versions were the core builds for beta purposes within various companies working on development and MS themselves, as those were the two most popular devices at the time.
There's no technological reason why WM5 can't exist on the Magician, just commercial.
I was looking for a good leather case for my jasjar and ran across this at the imate store http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAR&ref=adwords its the jasjar for sale with windows mobile 6 does that mean we are close to a final
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
If it is not a mistake my next PDA WILL BE I-MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO MORE QTEK/HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTH! I guess the coder/designer of that site has committed an error.
But, I would loved to be proven wrong
edit: interestingly, he didn't commit similar error to other imate products(kjam, jasjam etc). Hmmm
edit2: more interestingly, the string(lol,doing lot of programming these days) "windows mobile 6" is written in red

Yes, you are right. Infact, it is priced higher that the comparitively newer JasJam($999). JasJar is priced at $1049 :\ Indeed odd.
*fingers crossed*
wow, this is cool information. I-mate prepared a official WM6 ROM for Universal.

Well, IMHO, all vendors should give WM6 upgrade to their WM5 devices since MS is not charging anything from them to do the upgradation.
Just saw somewhere on the web that the HP has announced to give their hx2xxx owners free WM6 upgrade. Now, thats too cool
I was thinking about the selling of my Qtek 9000, because Im looking for someting new (my favourite is Imate Ultimate 7150), but the official WM6 upgrade is good reason why still stay with Universal
This is a MIRACLE!!!

JasJar , Qtek, Dpod.. the same things. If there is JasJar WM6 ROM, we can upload it on Qtek as well
not happening
most likely they are flashing it with roms taken from here....
why would imate want to do this???
imate is supposed to have the worst after-sales service
and with the ultimate line (7150) being announced they have even less motivation

or ... maybe they are trying to convince the people that they changed !
afaik, HTC dont support the Universal with WM6, meaning that carriers can't either.
Most likely some n00b was updating the website and suck the wm6 stuff on jasJAR Rather than jasJAM (Which IS getting WM6, and yet it isnt mentioned here: http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAM)
coincidence?

Well, may be imate wants to sell the ones still left in the stock. Also, since MS didnt take any money for the upgrade to WM6, may be one of the imate rom makers made a ROM for JasJar to attract the people to buy it

But, imate has not yet announced to offer WM6 upgrade, unlike htc/dopod :\
edit: also, since imate has divorced htc from quite a long time, jasjam won't be getting any upgrade. afaik, jasjam is the only device which could have got the upgraded to wm6 because it was manf by htc. After jasjam, they came with the non-htc products

i think he means imatephone store not imate
which means nothing...
there were tons of jasjars on ebay with wm6 rom
O...my god, I can't wait...
A guy from UK who claims to be official "Orange phone trainer" (Orange is a mobile operator in UK) claims that Orange Academy both Microsoft trainer and Orange employees were claiming that ROM upgrade for Orange SPV M500 Pocket PC phone (also for C550 smartphone) is coming.
If this would happen, then also users of other HTC Magician phones (like i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Vodafone VPA Compact, Qtek S100, etc):
... would also be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5.0!
as posted under the smartphone main section, I was at the Orange Academy today. Good news to come from the event is that Microsoft and Orange are currently busy preparing a WM5 upgrade for both the C550 and the M500!
We were obviously told not to tell the general public, as they want us to push the C600 and the M5000, but for existing owners, this is fantastic news
I own an M500 and he was blatantly waving one around in front of my eyes saying "Both these devices will have WM5 on them in the coming months..."
So god knows.. he did seem to know what he was talking about tho, being a MS Trainer and all.
Hersh...
thats great news, and no rumors like that ever appeared in these foruns... now I will finally be able to choose between WM5 and my pre-installed vista OS with a ps3 emu on my s110!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Im not saying it is or not possible just F***ING STOP POSTING ABOUT IT, RELEASE IT OR SAY NOTHING!
Even fakes are more welcome than those crappy posts "it is possible, one day it will work", "i think i have, oh wait, nop. i really dont understand english (wait, how did i manage to register here?)", "they relased it for my ipod, why not for magician?", "we can do it, if we just talk about it ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!"
When it comes out, if ever, IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE POST!
In the meantime, if you really want WM5 or 6 or 7, go buy an expensive phone with half the mhz and more RAM that WM5 doesnt let you use, just because it has that damm gps you really have much use for and its not to show-off all your friends.
Rumour!!!!!!!!!
I believe this rumour came out about a year ago from another forum, and still nothing. i will see it when i believe it.
Don't think it's going to happen. The only way that this device will get WM5 is if someone cooks a successful rom.
Unfortunately, it's just another rumour ... read original post here:

im pretty sure that this is an MDA Compact II or the HTC Charmer and not a magician, because i find it illogical that a telco will still produce a rom upgrade for a very old device which no retailer is selling anymore, and while i still entertain the thought that it may be an unofficial WM5 Rom, still, i would doubt it. Such a rom would have been posted already here.
rumour rumour rumour.....its all fake people !
What a pity!
All the best and beautiful new programs are coming out only for WM5 amd WM6!
It is better to hear no information instead of misinformation. There will never be WM5 on magician .
Come on now, I have been reading WM5 posts for Magician from a year. Fed up now. Magician is a very old device. Dont think there will be a WM5 for it. Even WM6 is released long back. So if Magician had to have a WM5, it would have come out long back.
Why dont you guys try to load Google's Android on Magician. Would be much better

You mean, flame thread as in, people flaming people, or the Xda Flame thread?
Another indicator of if it gets a forum here is "will it ever see thelight of day?" I-Mate's almost as dead as a door nail.
I'm bringing this thread back to push for an I-mate 9502 forums on here. This is honestly one of the main factors on wether or not I will buy this device (if/when it's released). I love this forum and it has helped me so much with my Vox and my Feeler, I would love to have the same support if I were to buy a 9502.
actually, that's a bit unlikely, as it's not HTC-made. The forum has specialized in HTC only so far, save for a few **ahem** Atom**ahem**
I would also love it if XDA-Dev got a 9502 forum.
The phone looks perfect! I actually sold my bnib Voda V1615 / tytn II upgrade to get some cash for it!
However, being Windows Mobile it will doubtlessly be utterly useless without the XDA-Dev geniuses to iron out all the creases.
I don't see why it can't go in here. It's replaced HTC as the XDAs in the southern hemisphere (i-mate's smartphone range).
I don't see why people are so keen to keep the forum exclusively for High Tech Crap anyway. Until the Wizards they've always been terrible (of course I still loved tweaking with them with the help of XDA-Dev).
Actually, not all Southern hemisphere. In Asia, even Southern and Southeastern, HTC still dominates the WM market. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. But the final decision really would be up to the mods, wouldn't it?

Nope, it isn't dead - and, fortunately, they don't return to HTC, as opposed to what the rumors said before MWC.

I'll mention this question too in the Mod forum, albeit, I'm afraid, the answer will be no.
it doesnt matter if there' a imate 9502 forum or not. just use the cab files from this site and put it in Ultimate! i just put PIE 6.1 on Imate 6150!

Some of them will work, but I think a lot of the things that need fiddling with in the registry and I-mate's own bits of software will need device-specific tweaks.
Either way, I can have a tinker, but lack the technical know-how to do anything major. I guess if the device become popular enough we might end up with a forum for it.
Guys and gals, I’ve just posted a HUGE roundup & quick review of i-mate’s all four new devices to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1967268
I read on Whirlpool forums that Telstra Australia will be the first to get the 9502, but someone just posted this:
"Just spoke to my telstra contact and he confirmed the 9502 failed testing was due for release on the 10th of march he said it is likelty to be released on the 24th but that isn't confirmed yet."
Lame. I want it now.
Ultimate 9502 Thread
Surely we shouldn't discount the Ultimate 9502 just because it's not made by HTC.
The 'Welcome' message admits that the name XDA-Developers is pretty arbitrary, it just so happened that an O2 XDA of some model was the first that they happened to have, and that would make it more O2 than HTC.
I would say that what is much more important is that the 9502 is a WindowsMobile Pocket PC, and it will have the same kind of issues as the other Windows Mobile Pocket PCs discussed here, including other I-Mate devices, and especially the Kaiser which has (from what I understand) the same chipset.
So can we have a forum for the 9502 (and I guess the other Ultimates as well)?
Ultimate 9502 Availability
As far as when the 9502 will be available from Telstra, they were able to take my order as of last Thursday. I'd say they would only do that if the issues had been sorted.
Imate 9502 is IN STOCK from here but i not sure how accurate is that!
