Which HTC Hermes in Japan?

Hello, I am going to be in Tokyo for the next few months for work. I use an HTC Hermes here in the UK. I am interested in having the office in Tokyo get me one to use whenever I am there. Questions:
1) Is the Softbank X01HT the model to go for? What advantages does this give over Docomo? Is there an unlimited data tariff? If not, what tariff should I go for if I want to use the phone for email and internet?
2) I use IMAP mail. I have tried but been disappointed with FlexMail 2007 as an email client, particularly since it does not support Asian characters. What other email clients (other than the WM5 standard which does not support multiple IMAP email addresses) are available with Asian language capability?
3) I am thinking the HTC Hermes will be best because it will be easy for me to configure since I already have one in the UK. Are there any other leading edge WM devices available that I should also consider?

Japanese Hermes
Wassup, I used to live in Tokyo and theres never really been a "unlimited" data plan. They are pretty expensive compared to like Sprint but they offer a variety of different plans to match your usage. The best thing is to talk to the carrier rep directly. Both Docomo and Softbank are the same network. GSM+WCDMA. As far as english apps go they will work as-is. Its japanese appz that won't work on english phones. (kanji and phoenetic characters use a double size font) Roman characters only need half the space so it works great. The only thing is that you won't be able to change the system to english. Hmmm, I think. I may be wrong on that one. hehe.
You might actually wanna check out the Willcom Zero3. That phone is sweet! Although it is a PHS network. Not compatible with anything outside Japan.

Where is BB Connect

I cant count the number of times I have read the new release about HTC supporting BB Connect on the S710...but i just got mine and no sign...
Tried the BB Connect that works on my Dash but not luck...PIN Pending.

Whenever I hit "register now" it just goes to the homescreen really wanna get this working....

Same problem
Ciao.
I'm from Italy and I have same problem. No way to get BB Connect work on my HTC S710.
I can't find the PIN to activate it. Infact when I install the BB the phone try to connect but don'f find the PIN and stop the connection (as you told back in home page!!).
I tried to contact HTC customer service and they told me that HTC and RIM maybe will support BB Connect just with Carriers (i.e. TIM or VODAFONE in ITaly, ORANGE in France and UK, etc..). But why a lot of peaple can use BB connect with the carriers they wont and me no???? As you can see, also DOPOD ASIA support BBconnect in HTC devices!! So let's try together to find a way !!!
I really believe in this.
Thank you to everybody.
Davide.

I am guessing we are all using the BB Connect client from the s620... I think we need a new client for the S710

We will likely have to wait, just like last time
until it gets released by Dopod. They seem to get the BB Connect clients out first, and I have never seen a BB Connect client that wasn't model specific, so it will have to be a Vox variant to work on the Vox most likely. Start sniffing and asking around on Dopod boards, at least then they will know we are looking....

There will be a BBC client for the vox. This will be bbc v4, watch this space (or the ftp )

Do you have it?

I am dying for BB Connect too, if it's 4.0 that would be awesome!!! I will ditch my dash when that comes out...

Not yet but I will do soon.
There is a full WM6 version waiting in the wings, lets hope it appears soon.

Here you are
It works great in HTC S710 spanish. Good luck.

I have downloaded, the bb connect and notice that it is meant for the windows 5 platform. Although it works on the dash, i dunno whether it will work on the vox as the vox is wm 6. This is my observation from having the hermes where if the hermes is flasg to wm6 the BB connect 4 meant for WM5 doesnot work unless there is some ehex editing on the device to make it look like WM6. Any useH anybody git it to connect on the vox yet.
i am also about to rush out and buy the Vox and just want to confirm this detail before doing so, any body tried it yet?
Just got the stuff,its a dopod C500 and i can safely say that it is working and receiving email. Thank you and apology for doubting the earlier post. All i can say is yippee

I read the XML in the cab, and it says this will work for all WM 5.x versions
This applies to Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 (internal version is 5.2). So, I know this works on my Vox(Win Mobile 6), as I am downloading emails just fine with it now, but does it work on the Dash/S620, etc as well? If it does, what versions does it work on? Just Windows Mobile 6, or also Windows Mobile 5? It should work on both. Now the next question, does it work on other devices like the Samsung BlackJack(Windows Mobile 5)? This would make this the closest we have seen to a universal Blackberry Connect client! One can hope, right?

work fine also in italy by tim
is the best many thanks tp DAVIDE......

It doesn't work on Samsung i600. There is an error when installing.

I may soond noob for this one ... but
WTF is BBConnect ???

Canadian Kaiser - Getting It going and a new look

I just obtained a new AT&T Tilt (8925) (HTC Kaiser) and I want to use it on the Rogers wireless system in Canada. I can use the phone and text but cannot access the internet and MMS. I spent an hour on with the Rogers Techs and still couldn't get it going. Does anyone have an idea as to the settings I need for the internet and MMS? Also this phone has the AT&T "today" page. How can I change it to reflect the "today" page that I have seen on the HTC "Touch" as I like the big clock and weather aspects.

not sure how things have changed ( or not ) ... but I'd previously used this fine with my HTC S621 ... now I'm a TyTN II owner but swear against a data plan in Canada ... now that rogers also announced they will carry the "iPuke" ... owners will be charge through the roof to really benefit the multimedia plan needed to enjoy it !
if this work or not for you, update the result so that someone else can benefit, will ya ?

I have the AT&T tilt and found that the proxy on the phone is the problem. It is a hidden proxy and you will not see one set in the network options. To turn it off there are 2 proxy files in a folder in the programs menu. One to enable and one to disable. You must use the one taged "ProxyDisable".
Another way is to delete all the network settings and run an updated Connection Wizard file. I tried to attached the one I'm using but the upload keeps failing. The one I use will see the network header from your SIM card and set up all the proper settings for you. I have downloaded several and none seemed to have Canada in the list. The one I tried to attach will prompt if you want to setup on Rogers right away! Surf until your heart's content
Google for "HTCConnectionSetup 1_0_30726_1.cab" and run it directly from your phone.
As for the Kaiser default look you are refering to (also seen on the Touch), you can flash your phone with a cooked rom or the official HTC Kaiser rom. The Tilt is actualy a TyTN II (codename: Kaiser). The only difference with the Tilt is the missing front facing camera and the AT&T boot intro and software. I did not like seeing the AT&T logo on startup as I'm on Rogers so I flashed it with the original Kaiser rom. I have tried many other but currently have Dutty's latest rom and it works well and is feature packed. Another way is to unzip and run the HTC Home file (I could attach the file this time!) from your phone to get the Weather and clock.
I perfer the cooked rom method as they can be much faster and have all the "bloatwere" and trial software removed. Many of them have tools and apps that are very usefull. Check out the rest of the posts in this forum and you will find everything you need to know on flashing your rom, even how to flash back if you need to get the phone serviced.

they just jumped in & asked for help ... then we provided possible solutions for a small consideration ( feedback of what works & not so others could benefit ..etc ) ... and they can't even return the favour !!!

Um... read 3 posts up (my first post on this thread)???? I had answered the first person's question and it will answer yours
My pet peeves:
1. People who do not use the search feature or Google
2. People who do not read the thread they posted to
3. Answering questions that have already been answered by another person asking the same question in the same forum

ur not the only one with those peeves...i'm sure a lot of us have them..especially ones that are really active and helpful

Help - O2 settings payandgo for polaris/htc

Hi, was hard for me to find via search engine the latest info about a big issue/problem with the internet settings for the Polaris/Htc Touch Cruise.
As you know O2 says always that is not supported.
But I was able to buy bolton at 7.50 pounds per month and use google maps, internet explorer, just the weather do not update.
I lost the settings, and I would find again the settings because now on Diamond I have a bigger problem!!! seem that on Diamond I will be not able to surf at all, and because I needed the O2 tariffs to call abroad, this is very sad for me and problematic to switch to 3, Tmobile, Vodafone that are expensive for calls abroad.
Are you surfing with O2 payandgo as I was able to do it, if yes, can you please post me the settings?
Do you have any solutions for the same problem on the Diamond, always with O2 uk?
thanks in advance

I solict forum angels to help please, for sure a lot of people from London here, and O2 is famouse here, so I please to help again! thanks

SIM operator configuration

Hi all,
Has anyone got/seen about a universal version of the I-mate Configurator?
it's a great app that detects the SIM you have in and reconfigures the SMS, internet settings etc without the tedious searching of the internet.
it's great if you travel around and have lot's of local SIM's
I have tried copying it across but it doesn't work that easy.
Orange C600 / WM6.5
i-mate 8502

look and ye shall find
OK found it,yes I did search first
it's funny how many times you can search and still not find something,
Because i-mate called it a configurator I was misled in my search,
anyway for any one else it's called the Network Wizard from HTC
