always connected Windows Vista mobile computer.
HTC PHONE
i think i seen that phone on Easydevices website, called the Advantage, although i think it runs Mobile 5 rather than Vista,
all i know is, ive got mine preordered
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/PDA/HTC/HTC_Advantage_X7500.html
What I dont get is why they are releasing the Advantage with Windows Mobile 5 instead of 6. Easydevices also have the HTC S710 which has Mobile 6.
They should be using Mobile 6.
HTC P9500 (Shangri-La)
I'm not sure who to blame, you guys who didn't notice the title, or insider666 who seems to be .. weird on this introduction with almost nothing to say about it. Anyway if you look at those photos, the unit runs on Windows Vista. Yes, Vista the full PC-class OS, not the strip down mobile Windows Mobile. Also note the Windows key on the keyboard.
Anyway, I'm not sure where did this news come from, but I'm not having luck on google on this. However, both the pics above may have been photoshopped, you never know, until we get a more reliable source
it does look like the HTC advantage, and it does look like its been photoshopped, cause the windows key looks awful bright.
but hey, if it runs vista i'll be impressed but i think it'l be mobile 5 if not 6
here is the rough spec for P9500:
It is a Vista Plus WM 6
7" Screen
40GB HD
VGA for VT
WIFI
HSDAPA,UMTS
GPS
Fingerprint Recognition
Semi-auto Sliding.

What would the point in that be?
www.seehtc.com
Thats the official Advantage page.
I just hope that the T-Mobile version (T-Mobile Ameo) will be upgradable to WM6, otherwise it will be made obsolete within 3 months of hitting the market.
Oh and the second pic just looks like an early mock up of the I-mate Ultimate 7150.
This is not an HTC advantage, please bear in mind.
It will be out in Q4 2007.
Here is another one, HTC P6550 Sedna (Not P6500 Sirius)
3.5" Screen
3.0 Mega pixel autofocus camera,
fingerprint recognition
credit/smart card reder
support GPS and A-GPS.

That doesnt explain why it will use both Vista and WM6, please explain what the point in using Dual OS's would be along with how these will be partitioned.
i doubt very much it will use both
vista is not likely to be compiled for more platforms then x86-32 and 64
and wm6 is arm based
if it's running vista is will have a pc cpu
and if it have that kinda power it would be easier to emulate wm6 then to put in a arm cpu in the device too
My guess: virtualization of WM to operate HSPDA and GSM phone and data services; that way they don't have to write a phone program for Vista (or maybe MS wants it that way).
This is a space HTC can't ignore considering the popularity of the Sony UX models and the growing buzz around the OQO 02 and its WWAN EV-DO.
I expect the reason for 2 OSes on the one device will be
WM6 for low power requirements & day long operation of Push mail as in the manner that current devices can manage.
Vista for the times that a standard PC app is required at the expense of only being able to run for 3 - 5 hours.
The base Windows CE is available for x86 machines but I expect a dual processor setup to support the low power requirements of WM6 compared to Vista.
IMHO, this super dude is a smart-ass. He seems to be photoshopping the images leaked/released by HTC in this PDF doc.
Folks, take a look at this
Does this mean that HTC is slowly venturing in laptop market?
Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!
I´m Thinking About Buying The Palm Treo 750v Of Vodafone, But As I Know It Was Released Almost One Year Ago, I Thought That Soon Or Later, There´ll Be A Brand New Model Or Successor Of The Treo 750v And Wait For It.
What Do U Think Buddies???
Thxs In Advance
There is *always* a new phone around the corner.
It's just like computers.
If you wait, you'll never buy anything.

What u´ve said is really true, but you all know what I mean. Just in case there will be a brand new realease coming soon, I should wait for it. DOn´t u think that??
I just need some info.
Thanks
Palm is rather in a 'mess' now to retaliate MS attacks from the PDA/smartphone front. Various speculations are floating around the net, which includes Nokia (and others) to take over Palm, and Palm in ditching their PalmOs to Linux-based system. Palm did a marvelous jobs at tackling PPC's onslaughts on the PDA fronts during the last few years, but this PDA-Phone round is not very good for Palm. So, chances are that Treo750 may be very well be the end of one of the Palm's era. Hence, personally, I don't think there will be a new unit coming out very soon for Treo, and if it does, probably it will be very much different, which may not be inline with the reason you go for a Treo.
I have heard that palm treo 750 WM6 OS is coming for Cingular. It is ok to buy for now and Treo 750 is best for everyday use.
The next device from Palm is not a PPC, its a SP... Also the next PPC has GPS... Both are expected this year but not for a few months.

you mean a palm + phone using windows mobile? when?and how much?
thanks everyone
The miracle of google..
News news news... - "Palm will unveil a platform before the end of 2007 that runs the Palm OS on top of a Linux kernel" ... but .. "Palm will also continue to use Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS"... "Recent industry rumors have suggested that either Motorola or Nokia would buy the company, but those whispers died down when Palm..."
WM6 news
If you want one go for it, based on the speed that Palm released the upgrade to the GSM Treo I'd say the 750 is in for a while.
And the 680 wasn't much of an upgrade to the 650, more like the 650.1.
WM6 on the Treo 750
Palm have announced that a WM6 upgrade WILL be released for the Treo 750 in due course. The inside information I have is that it will be here by late august!
Get a Treo 750 dude they are Immense!
what do you think about getting an wifi mini sdcard for wireless connections, do you think it´s a good idea???
The problem is I´m hesitating whether to buy aplm treo 750v with vodafone or ubiquio 501.
What do you advise me guys?????
Well, personally, wireless is not something that I would use, however, I would still feel incomplete without. Only now I noticed that 750 doesnt have WiFi. How much difference in price are the Treo and Ubi501?

100 euros more or less.
I prefer the treo because in my opinion it´s more stylized than the ubi501, but the lack is it has no wireless capabities.
Ubi501 processor is OMAP 850 at 200mHz, very slow based on my own experiences but could be enough. The screen is 240x240 and it may have some problems installing some softwares on it, but i think it´s he same siza than the palm.
My aim is getting a very very very small device indeed with keyboard such as treo or ubi501 and if it is possible with the best wireless capabilites.
ANy suggestions?????
You may need to check with your specs again. From what I've gathered so far, it seems that the only thing I can see Palm is better than this Ubi is the processor.
Screen wise, Palm is the one with 240x240 screen. This Ubi has QVGA screen (320x240). Ubi has larger storage, better camera, and only 1/2 as thick as Palm, it is SEXY.
Have you read this?

BTW, if what it said above is true, it maybe dodgy to get a phone, that is owned by Expansys.. in a way.. not as safe as getting it from Treo.. which.. well you decide.
The Ubi 501 is old news now and I agree does not compare to the Treo. However in June the Ubi 503G is releasing and it is looking to be a great device. Here is a link to a thread at HoFo where we have been discussing it.

http://www.mobilewhack.com/sprint-treo-755p-photos-leaked/
it seems to be a palm powered device, isn´t it????
When I said sucessor, I meant, windows mobile powered.
what do you think???
well it shows new devices are still coming and treo have remarked lots of times that they will have dual releases,palm and windows to come,(also with linux too)
so its only a matter of time before a new windows device,why spend all that money to launch one windows device then,quit?
they will for sure be realsing further windows devices
its seems to me all pda,smartphones and mobile phone makers,are at the moment holding back,im sure behidn the scenes,its all about tryign ti figure out how to get voip and gps right and fit them into there devices
i belive there will be a few genral releases from all makers,plodding on then once they have it all sorted the output will be hughe
look at nokia ,rushing to be first to market with the n95,people are so demanding with there devices nowdays,i suspect another windows powered treo before xmas for the usa and for the rest of us in 1st q8

I agree with you about they will release a brand new treo powered by WM6 bf Xmas, but that sounds very late on time, doesn´t it????
I´m not sure if they´ll release another on bf that time, because in my opinion they have to make some profits with the first treo with Microsoft on it, don´t you think?
Im looking for a windows mobile netbook. does anyone know of one or is there a way to put it on a netbook, thanks
This any good HTC Advantage?
Assuming you have a WM phone, you could look into the Redfly
Its more of a terminal for your current smartphone, but allows WM on a netbook sized keyboard/screen

WM Netbok with 3g, BT, Wifi
Guys,
I am desperately looking for a WinCE netbook which can ideally boot either with XP or Android with following specs :
BT, Wifi, 3G and let's say 400 mhz minimum.
I heard Nvidia Tegra is lauching/has launched a wince device?
Any ideas?
Thanks

hi everyone.
dose anyone have any idea if we can find win7 for herms somewhere?coz i have checked that 6.5 its aweful i did,nt liked that so if anyone can help us all to find win7 for herms that will be nice.
regards to all xda family members
in a word...
no
That is never going to happen for so many reasons, the HD2 is the only phone with a ROM currently, but the Hermes doesn't even vaguely have the correct specs.
Windows 7 is unlikely to ever run on *any* phone, ever, period. Firstly, there is no ARM version of Windows 7 and secondly no phone would be beefy enough to run it anyway.
Looking to jointhe WP7 revolution in a few weeks with an upgraded phone (Looking at HTC Titan)
My home PC's currently run Winsdows XP.
Will i encounter any issues with this? Do i NEED to upgrade to windows 7?
I'd assume i might get better functionality with win7, and ive priced up upgrading my main pc to suit and ive been looking at swapping my tablet for a windows7 tablet too to keep everything the same.
However if i can get away with XP for a bit longer I'd rather do these things a step at a time.
So ultimately will a WP7 device talk to an XP OS without any issues?
WP7 talks to your PC via Zune. According to the main Zune download page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/zune-software.aspx Zune supports XP SP3, Vista & Win7.
Note that you must have SP3 for XP installed. Other than that, looks like you're okay.
Brad.
XP will work fine
XP SP3 would work, but I think an upgrade would suit you better in the long run with W8 coming out this year XP will start to be cut off soon, but you should not have any problems software wise.
Windows 7 is Da Bomb, but XP is still a solid OS. Wait till Windows 8, then do your upgrade. Why pay for dual upgrades.
Also, usually when a new version of Windows is getting close to release, you can pay for the current OS and get a free upgrade to the newest when it's released. That works well if you decide to upgrade your PC at the same time. Buy a PC with Windows 7 and get the free Windows 8 upgrade. But wait till it's advertised that way...
The theory was - i wanted to get an Acer Iconia W500 but i may wait until Win 8 is released before taking this plunge
The Desktop pc - im sure all it requires is more RAM to be capable of a newer OS (only got a gig in it) So im sure that should be a straightforward upgrade - I'm to be Dual screening this at somepoint this year too This is aimed as music library management, main data backup/management and music production.
The touchscreen tablet is going to be aimed at keeping my data syncd while on the go but primarily as i DJ a lot to be used as a music interface and a disco light controller. Ive currently got a Compaq TC1100 doing this task
Id rather do this a bit at a time otherwise it all adds up to a fair amount of cash - so i'll stick with XP for the time being if it'll work
I've used XP, Vista, And W7 for my Radar and have had no problems.
Nice choice on the Titan, but I would wait and see what pricing is now on the new Titan II.
BTW, Welcome to the WP family!
