good place to start is to read the wiki pages for the device

Hey guys, just joined up with this forum. I just purchased the ATT 8525 today and hopefully it will be here in a few days. Is there anything that i should know more about this phone, besides specs and stuff? Anything that i should do when i get the phone? Any advice will be good.
Thanks
Welcome to xda! There is a wealth of information here for your phone. Before your next post:
1. Read the sticky at the top of the Hermes section regarding posting (trust me its for your own good)
2. Get VERY familiar with this section of the site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
If I were you I would spend some serious time reading through the forums before you decide to do anything to your phone. It will definitiely help you in the long run. Good Luck!
hi and welcome
i'm not as familiar with the unit you have but i think it's also known as wizard....guyz, please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong here... but in any case, scroll down the main forum page and you should see the section dedicated to the wizard. from there you can browse around and check the extremely useful list of topics for the device.
cheers
No..see my signature. The 8525 is a Hermes. I have the same phone.
norwstman30, welcome to xda-devs!!!
please, please, please, please, search and read! everything you will run into IS on this forum and posting a question of what to do when your 8525 (hermes) freezes or drops calls.. etc will annoy the rest of us. The wiki has all you need to know, welcome to owning a great device!
i own the imate jasjam which is the same as the 8525 except its black and has a camera on the front. I'm on at&t aswell in austin, texas... hook 'em horns!
Hey, just joined, purchased the Softbank X01HT, and the person previously installed the english pack. Will definately read through the wiki first.

There are no forums here for any i-mate phone that was not manufactured by HTC - there is some discussion in the general forum area about the 8502 and 9502, but since the 8150 is even more rare, it may be hard to find much in the way of custom upgrades for it. I would do a Google search for i-mate forums. I had an 8502 for a short time but sold it because of microSDcard limit of 2GB, and not finding much in the way of customizing (and the screen is kind of dim and lifeless in color!).
As far as software, there is tons of stuff - most anything for Windows Mobile 5 or 6 will work unless it was created specifically for a certain brand and model, and even much of that may work - like even some of the HTC apps found here. Lots of other .cab's for great software are scattered throughout the forums here.
Google "Windows Mobile free software" and you'll find many great sites (such as FreewarePocketPC) with many excellent free or shareware apps.
Ok guys let me start by saying that i have recently purchased a M5000 which came with WM5 and i am now looking to upgrade to WM6. I have to apologise in advance as it is a new unit i am a total newb so i have a few questions.
1. Do i simply install a new ROM to upgrade?
2. If so what is considered the best version and where can it be found?
3. If i upgrade do i lose all my installed programs?
The unit is currently running with the orange side bar which i find a little annoying this is the main reason for wanting to change.
Like i say i am new so i can only apologise if my questions seem a little stupid. I have tried searching the forums for the answers but to no avail.
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum
1.- Yes, but follow the instructions!
2.- Tomal ROM v8.5, do a SEARCH!
3.- Yes
Please READ the Wiki!! and enjoy
Many thanks Orb. I did try doing a search but unfortunately there were no polls on the subject and there did seem to be a few different versions available so i was looking for advice. I have found all the info on the wiki so i will be giving it a bash this weekend. Appreciate your help though.

Good luck,
Cheers orb. I had already seen the that update but my dilemma was that there are several other updates available and i wasnt sure what the general feeling as to the best one was. My initial thoughts were that the tomal was the most popular due to the number of posts and posters mentioning it in their sigs.
Whats the difference between the standard and special builds?
Are there any extra system requirements for the special build?
Thanks for your help though. I know to you it must seem a little trivial but i can assure you that your help has given me the extra confidence i probably needed to undertake the update.
At this point my friend
The best recommendation is to test several! till you have the one that fits your personal needs (I have tested a lot to find mine)
And really, you have to read!
You´ll find what is the difference between
Vanilla, standard, etc ROM´s
And many many more very usefull info
You know what is my recommendation
Enjoy!
p.d. You don´t need any extra requirements for that special build
Heloo everyone. I just registered here at these forums because I have just got a gift from a friend. I got a brand new HTC Touch Pro that is made for Sprint. It doesnt have a sim-card which is another thing that I would like to discuss, but for now, I would like to get some help on upgrading my OS to something else. It has windows 6.1 I believe, or 6.0, I am not sure, but its not very stable.
I would like to know if any one can give me the most simple way to update to windows 6.5 or any other OS you might think is better than windows mobile 6 or 6.1.
I already read about roms, and downloading them, but all i get is links to other websites and the files that I am supposed to download are confusing me because they said its for the touch diamond, but i have a touch pro.
If any one can help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
I apologize in advance for my noobiness and I appreciate any help in advnace.
Thank you and happy new year all.

You have a CDMA Raphael

Welcome to XDA & enjoy your stay (read & search & flash)
Hi all im new to the site been reading various topics and all seems very technical. Have understood bits used to flash phones back in the old Nokia 3310 days, but lost track of the phone market place for a while. Now so much has changed!!
Anyway Ive got an upgrade due next weekend and have been tossing up between the Iphone and the HD2. Love the look and hardware of the HD2 its just the WM that im slightly concerned about. Anyone able to convince me the HD2 is the way to go
Heard rumours of WM7 coming some say the HD2 will get the update some say it wont, Can anyone confirm?
Also are there any tutorials for dummies on flashing Roms??
Sorry for the Noob questions, hope ive posted in the right section.
Welcome aboard
Have a look on the Wiki, locate your HTC device and you´ll find all you need!
Read, Search, respect and Enjoy!
Welcome and enjoy your stay!
You'll find one advantage in the WM platform is the helpfulness found in communities such as this one. If you enjoy playing with and customizing your phones to suit your exact tastes you are in the right place
Thanks for the welcome guys, been reading though and there are some very helpful and extremely clever folk on here!!! Think Ive been convinced that HD2 with Roms from here is a winner!
