A month ago I bought a Q-Tek A9100 phone, with Windows Mobile 6.0. I am really pleased with this phone. But, my brother who lives in the USA, sent me 2 days ago the AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 5.0.
At first sight, the AT&T device has some things better than the Q-Tek (Camera, Processor, Weight, Design), but I'm not sure which one should I keep for myself, because the Q-tek has WM 6.0, and I have read here that you know a way to upgrade it, is it possibble?
I hope i'm not wasting your time, it's just that I'm a newbie on this stuff, here in Latin America is not easy to find the needed help about this devices even though they're bought frequently.. Your comment would help me a lot!
Please I'll be very gratefull if you send your opinion to [email protected]
Thanks

Hey everyone im new to the site, excellent information and tools lying around for these awesome HTC phones! I have a dilemma at the moment im due an upgrade next month with my carrier T-Mobile, im eligible to get any phone so I am trying to decide which would be better out of these: MDA Vario II (Hermes) or the MDA Touch (Elf)? Size and weight between the two if anybody knows would be helpful, also I am aware the Elf has the same 64MB of RAM but can anybody inform me as to which CPU the Elf makes use of or wether it is the same as the Hermes. I am curious to know if the upgrade from WM5 to WM6 has broken any applications in terms of compatibility. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Let me know what you think guys, this place is a fountain of knowledge
I was directed to this website from somewhere, with only the knowledge that my phone is a 'Universal'. I currently want to upgrade its OS to WM6, but i have no idea how or what actual version to put on. Theres an overwhelming amount of ROM's and i have no idea which one to use, or if they will even work with my phone let alone my provider.
Can someone please help me out?
o2 XDA Exec, running WM5 on T-Mobile (UK) wanting to upgrade to WM6.
Thanks
You're in the right place, just start reading at the wiki and then do some foot work through the posts. you'll get there in the end.
Hi guys/gals,
I'm going to be getting a work mobile in a few weeks on the O2 network in the UK. I was thinking of a blackberry but then saw the XDA's (HTC). I don't really need a PDA but its a works phone and having excel would make my job a lot easier as I don't have a laptop but need some access to excel in the warehouse, as well as outlook and messenger when I'm out on site.
Now the 2 that's I'm looking at are the XDA Stellar (http://www.my-xda.com/devices/xda_stellar.jsp) and Orbit 2 (http://www.my-xda.com/devices/xda_orbit2.jsp). The problem is that they are just re-branded on the O2 network and I cant figure out which are the related HTC phones. So could someone tell me which are which so i can do some more research.
I have been reading review and seems the Stellar is a better PDA/phone as its got the slide out KB. But typical O2, i cant really tell what are the differences as one pages says one thing and the other something else.
Does the stellar have a touch screen like the orbit, with the same funtionality?
Both do Wifi and GPS?
can i get tomtom software for the XDA?
whats the battery life like on both phones? (I have heard horror stories when using 3G or WiFi with a sub 4 hour battery life)
Can u 'image' the OS and stuff like u can on a PC to back up everything? (i ask because I do like to have a play and its nice to know u can get it back to factory settings again)
any helpful links u peeps might have to gimmi a help deciding? reviews, guides ect ?
Sorry for all the questions. I really like the look of them but have never had a chance to use one so I thought i would be best to ask soem people who know the in's and out's.
thanks for the help i hope to receive!!!
Peace
SN

First you need to know if you have a CDMA device or a GSM one (with SIM card)
Then what OS want WM or Android
And then head over Rapahel section where you can find all kinds of guides to do what you need:

Good luck,
first of all, thank you for your reply; no one has replyed since ages... i think it is GSM, i bought it from Orange Romania and it works with a SIM. i have windows 6.1 , an i like the fact that i can edit word documents and so on... i know nothing about the android but i would like to change my rom/software for better battery and performance (it kinda laggs although the memory is at 39% and the windows 6.1 interface is.... -.- horrible to say the leaast)
i would like a guide for stupid people that have never had the chance to temper with their phones software.
best regards, bobby
