I have just been onto O2 UK re my pending upgrade, I asked about XDA products as I have been using them since the begining and since I have purchased all the mapping for USA + Europe I want to stick with the brand.
I have been offered an XDA Guide ( due for release in May ) or the original XDA Serra... Would anybody be able to advise on the new features as at present I'm using the XDA Orbit2.
Many thanks in advance
Damian
the main differences between the orbit 2 and the guide are that the guide has double the ram and rom, 256 ram and 512 rom. It is also smaller than the orbit. The guide runs on windows mobile 6.1 pro and has a faster 528mhz processor and supports up to 7.2mbps on hsdpa. It should also come with tomtom 7 installed.
The UK version of Xda Guide will ship with Co-Pilot 7 NOT TOMTOM 7.
Cheers

Moved to Q&A.

Many thanks for all the info in this matter, I have been using Co Pilot V7 on the orbit 2, have also just got all the N. America mapping so will stick with it for another 9 months until next upgrade and wait to see what they release by then

Folks,
I have a Pocketop IR Keyboard that I worked wonderfully with my last PDA (Toshiba e570). Now I've upgraded to an XDA II I find myself in need of some working drivers . I've registered with Pocketop and I'm still waiting for a reply to me query over a month later - anyone had any success? :?:
Steve.
Hi Steve,
Did you get an answert to this? I've just bought the keyboard, expecting there to be a driver on the CD, and of course there isn't one.
Thanks!
it took them 10 months after announcing the driver for xda 1 to deliver it
i also had a pocketop for my xda 1 but now i bought the xda II i sold my pocketop. so don't expect the driver to come from pocketop anytime soon
I really am a little confused as to whether 02 will be releasing an upgrade (Pocket PC SE) for the XDA II ?
There is lots of good information around regarding the IIs and IIb, but there is conflicting reports about whether 02 will realease an upgrade for all existing XDA II users.
Does anyone actually know?
October 2004, official rom 1.72 from O2, but still not sure...!!!
and i hope contain WM2003SE.
sorry,...
Even if o2 do not provide an upgrade, I've checked with Imate this week and they have confirmed that they are still planning an upgrade.
I'm also expecting that the new XDA II's will be so similar in terms of hardware that their ROM images will work on the original XDA II
i'm pretty sure that o2's 1.72 is not 2003SE at leas the 1.72 from imate and qtek are not
hi all
im getting a new handset this week and dont know if to get the xda11i or the xda11s.
the look the same to me but one has a keyboard. :?:
can any one help me make my mind up? :?
my old phone is a i mate sp3 with 1 gig card with tom tom 5 on etc,
are the xda's more or less same to use?

Just a Re
Hello bodge, maybe i'm not a master but i'll try to help you.
Actually IIi and IIs not same.... not only the keyboar but also the other hardware.
IIs : Camera (noy mega pixel yet, but pic quality better than IIi), the processor of IIs is similiar with II (Intel PXA 263 400MHz), quad band ROM 96Mb. SDRAM 128Mb, ofcourse keyboard, bloetooth v1.1
IIi : 1,3 Mpix camera 9but as i said the quality worst than all XDA), Processor Intel PXA 272 520MHz, tri band, ROM 128Mb, SDRAM 128Mb, no keyboard, bluetoth v1.2
I think IIi still better choise, but there will be a new gadget from XDA run with WM5... whoa.... now the question is: Buy IIi or wait.... XDA IV??? :?:
Hi cornelius
Thanks for the reply.
im due my upgrade end of this week so not sure if to wait for the new xda to come out in the uk? could be months or is it due to be soon?
If not looks like the xda11i is the one then.

It's Your Choise
I think XDA IV need more than a month to be released, right now the i think the best choise is IIi, don't worry about pic qualiy just waith for ROM update.... Anyway if you buy a new IIi, would you like to send o2 email (from their email contac) to ask about upgrade WM5 for IIi, because they need sufficient request for releasing that WM5.
Ok, have nice experience with your new gadget...
im after a pda/phone and thinking a xda
what are the main pros and cons please,
which current model would suit my needs best
phone.pim,wif.fi.bluetooth and mp3
thank you
hi,i have been using xda for many years,
From Xda to xda ll,xda lls and xda lli
now im using dopod 900.
its did not give me problem like all xda does.
after using dopod 900
i find its very stable & im so pls with it
You'd perhaps be best with an XDAIIi. This will give you the functionality you'd need (don't get an XDAII by mistake - no onboard wifi). You could add an SD/MMC card for your audio. 2GB cards are becoming available at reasonable prices but 1GB would normally suffice (ebuyer.co.uk). If you're used to little phones like Nokias and Erikssons you might want to consider the physical size. XDAs are not small - especially in a case. You also will need to check this site for streamlining your device as they don't run at their optimum on delivery.

Hi,
I am looking for a replacement for my xda ii mini (Windows 2003) which i have been using for last 3 years.
I have tried HTC TOUCH, HTC DUAL, TYTN, cruise among the various other windows 5 and windows 6 PDAs available. While the the new PDAs have whole lot of new features, the most important feature (at least for me) - Find / Search was awfully slow.
The mini that i am using now has over 10,000 contacts and few files , no third party softwares or any other tools which take memory and process time. My PDA handles the data with ease.
The same data when i used on the newer phones and tested the search feature it turned out to be very slow. A search in XDA II mini takes 2 secs and it HTCh touch 5 minutes and TYTn cruise take around 3-4 minutes. that is horribly slow.
I tried the same on older XDA II (windows 02) and it turned out to be fast.
It made me conculde that the new phones with windows 5 or 6 must be taking lot of resources, too many features that the basic functions are not paid much attention to.
Simple OS like windows 03 are faster and efficient than the newer ones
I need help -
Is it the OS that is making the difference?
Where can i find a 02 XDA with Windows 2003?
Can i buy a HTC TOUCH or DUAL and format it and install windows 03? Will it work? Can somebody help me with that?
I had tried a few third party search tools , they were not any better? Can i find some fast search tools?
Last
Can somebody help me buy new O2 XDA II mini ? I know they are not manufactured now but it seems the only replacement of my current device.
- Regards

I think the answer here is to flash a custom rom made by one of our great cooks here....
I have both HTC Tytn2 and HTC touch running custom roms and i can really notice the difference between custom and shiped roms.
Anyway this is just my 2 cents... lets wait for the gurus to reply
Cheers

Thanks Farhan and hi to all
Flashing a custom ROM ?
Does that mean that the OS will be changed ?
How and Where does one do that?
I will buy a HTC TOUCH for trying out these things that you told
Please help me proceed
Still waiting for the gururs to reply
-Regards

A lot (if not all) users here have flashed cooked ROM into their devices.
All info about flashing can be found in the Wiki (albeit Device specific). Basic questions about flashing can be found here.
Everything else, can be found on the device forums.
