HP SDIO 1.3MP Camera - Will it work?

Will the HP SDIO 1.3MP camera work in the XDA/XDA 2?
Are there any other high-res cameras available?
Thanks!

in my humble view there are 100% chances it is not going to work on XDA, on XDA II ... hmm, HP has been providing drivers for its machines but as the platform seems to be the same and X-Scale used also the same ... might work, but has not tested yet
regards, monika

if i remember the xda1 doesn't have sdio; thus the hp camera wouldn't work. there's already an sd-enabled camera for the xda1, not sure what the name is.
for the xda2; not sure if the hp camera would work...maybe or maybe not. haven't really tried doing that one since the unit comes with its own camera. what's the camera resolution of the hp?
cheers

for hp camera res pls see the thread subject where it says 1.3mpix and as far as compatibility has been concerned .... I heard from the news various and contradicting stories
regards, monika

hey monika,
would you happen to have the that thread you mentioned? i'm planning on buying the ipaq accessory which features a flashlight / flash via sdio card...or was that cf....in any case i want to check for compatibility.
cheers then

I did look for specific postings from the net, so far no luck .... but the thing is, as far as I remember, I've seen it on various groups ... maybe during the weekend I find some more time to do the searching
sorry for delay and regards, monika

What should I buy? A Wizard or a Prophet?

Hey there,
After some great times together, unfortunatly my M1000 has finally died: touchscreen does not work anymore. Since my contract is up I will not bother to have it repaired as I will be able to choose another phone... Here is my dilemma: Qtek 9100 or Qtek S200 which one of these two devices should I buy?
Cheers,

Nope... although I like the processor better and connectivity features better, I don't like the looks and I don't like the Micro-SD thing.... most of all I don't like the pricing of that puppy....

What do youwant to use it for? Do you need a hardware-keyboard? Depends all on your way to use it.

like most people: for phoning and pda-functionality...never missed the keyboard on my Hima and hated the thing on BA (used that device for a few weeks) so for me the keyboard is not essential.... how does it type?

If you are not so interested in the keyboard go for the prophet. The prophet has a sd slot so you can fit upto 4gb card. If you play music alot as i do consider the wizard - its stereo speakers are far superior to the prophets mono effort.

HTC-S730

HTC S730 ('Wings'): Has anyone spotted it already?

It's now available on Tmobiles website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Detail.aspx?device=acc8102d-4506-4eaa-bc2f-9c7b8ec1b1e0
I may walk over to the local tmobile store later and see if they have one. You thinking about switching from your Vox?

Yeah, I'd like 3G (even though it drains the battery much faster).
And then supposably there is the 2nd video cam and a GPS receiver.
The cpu is apparently a Samsung running on 400MHz.
Combined with the same form factor as the S710 it sounds unbeatable to me.
Ah, that's the "Wing" in T-mobile's shop and is a different model.
The S730's nickname is "Wings"
Here's a preliminary spec:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/devices/HTC/HTC-S730--Wings-322.shtml
The release date is July '07

Where are you located, I don't think the US version has all those capabilities....

That's not the HTC wings
this is : http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=728
T-mobile Wing looks like a TyTN to me

This S730 3G Windows Mobile Smartphone is vaporware right now
Everyone keeps saying it is coming out, but frankly, besides a photoshop'd mockup of this, there have been NO, repeat NO pictures of this in any form. No one has reported seeing one, no fuzzy pictures, etc. Until we get some information about this phone, some pictures, a release of info that is credible, I think that it's no where near release, and more like a Christmas time release at earliest. Seriously, why release the Vox, and then something that will blow it out of the water less than 6 months after the Vox release? It will cannibalize it's own market segment. I hope I am wrong, but with no pictures, or info on it, I don't see it as anything more than a future release, and nothing sooner.

Yes, it seems hard to imagine that they will release it so soon after the S710. However, there are different markets for both models. Don't forget that many users have no need for 3G, besides that the battery drains much faster. In that spec on pdadb.net it mentions only 12 hours! If that's true then many users are better off with the S710.
The Qalcomm MSM7200 chipset exists already since more than a year and does offer all those cool features. Usually mobile manufacturers need about a year to build phones around a new chipset. So from that point of view the timing could be right.
Here is more info about the chipset:
http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/msm7200_chipset.pdf
http://www.cdmatech.com/products/msm7200_chipset_solution.jsp
Anyhow, I would love to test a S730

t-mobile wings
this wings phone does not have a front camera !!!!

HTC Wings is not the same as the T-Mobile Wings...

Looks like the S730 does have a GPS chipset but that it is disabled.

D'you think the pic showing "active GPS" is for real or just a mockup?
GPS is a deal/no deal feature for me (in addition to the feeble battery... but as for the Vox there may be more powerful replacement batteries available).
Like for the Hermes there will most likely be a Wings100, Wings200... at least with different casing. Would a provider (like T-Mo Germany) be able to order units which are GPS hardware-deficient (lacking antenna, for instance)? For example, T-Mo Germany disabled (mechanically blocked!) the front videocall button of its "MDA vario II" Hermes variant.
How would one be able to tell if a specific S730 unit indeed has all necessary GPS hardware onboard?

The chipset seems ok, see here. Don't know if other gps system components are built in.

Thanks for the link. Looks ok, indeed. Please keep me posted if you find a way to activate the GPS feature. Will a registry hack do?
Does anybody recall how difficult it was to enable GPS for the Trinity?

BEST pda out there

i currently own a tmobile mda also known as wizard. is kinda slow for me at only 195mhz i have overclocked at 247mhz. i am looking for something more faster with more ram and i like to keep the same size maybe smaller than the wizard. any suggestions are welcomed. thanks

O2 Stealth? (smaller and more powerful+more memory)

love it but it's a triband which won't work really good with at&t at 850mhz. anybody else with suggestions??

I've been looking to buy a new PDA phone as well, currently own a Charmer flashed with WM6 clean ROM and some additional software added to it to enhance functionality. The only drawbacks I see in it are
1. No High speed data functionality. It supports EDGE, but T-mobile UK don't provide that. Its either GPRS or 3G which I think is HSDPA, either way, I don't have it.
2. No high end graphics for me
So to overcome these, I think the new HTC Kaiser fits the bill. It has everything I could think of that I wanted in a PDA phone and then some more, like in-built GPS, which is quite cool, coz I use satnav quite a lot. Anybody else have any other suggestions?
Oh yeah, and I don't like it too chunky either...

How about Asus P525, IMHO the best and the fastest

I think it'll be the HTC Omni if HTC indeed delivers what they have promised.

Asus p 835 :)

Hello
Got some screenshots..enjoy them..will post more..in some days.
G sensor can be hacked to used with other apps from registry.
Any questions, pls feel free to ask here

can you give some feedback about the performance and how much did you pay for it?

performance is better than omia and i guess better than all existing devices using msm 7200a except HTC HD..It is a testing uni. pricing is not known yet

Hi hdubli, is Mr. Broadcom again... Any thought about my search?

User22. sorry no Mr Broadcom but MS.But the registry do have some entries reg the broadcom..however u can have a look at mr Bluesolil

Any feedback on the trackball effectiveness?
How does the fake leather on the front effect the design?
Is that a flash or speaker on the back near camera? where is the speaker?
Size, will it fit well in a jeans front pocket- or will it feel bulky(too long)?
Battery life with 2-3 calls 10 minutes GSM and in general in hours?
How soon will we see it for sale?
Thank you

how would you do that in the registry? I got a P835 and the autorotation works for a limited applications only. I am also trying to make it work with apps that were build for HTC g-sensors.
Someone manage to port the HTC g-sensor wrapper to Omnia. I tried the wrapper (a few dll's) but does not work at all. I am hoping there will be developers that will look into this Asus wrapper.

Camera and related
There is no flash on the back, the speaker there seems mono and a weak one at that, camera has given me noisy pics so far, have to try it out in full day light yet, trackball is good, This is one thing that made me buy it over HTC Diamond II. I have not been able to find a good MP4 player for it yet.
On the positive side, I removed the default today addins and added PointUI. The black look of that interface goes well with the P835 design.
The phone is responsive with enough memory to spare. Though I feel let down by the lack of main storage as a lot of application add on to the Windows folder. Any help in that department is greatly appreciated (Extendir ? any body got a CAB installer for it that works on P835, I can test it if somebody can provide it for me).
Thanks HDUBLI, you have been a great contributor for the ASUS.

Guys what did you think about this pda? Plan to get one. But I heard from other forum that they said the touch scree will fail, means the stylus can't detachable on the screen.
