Hi,
If you want to do it legal, you'll have to buy a new copy of TT6.
MOD EDIT: please don't offer the use of warez around here.

TomTom and MDA compact with new ROM

Hi there!
I've just bought my new MDA compact and TomTom in a bundle from t-mobile.
This MDA was preinstalled with rom 1.13 shipped.
After installing and executing TomTom i got/received only a Blackscreen.
I called T-Mobile and TomTom and they told me that this is a a known issue with new MDA compact (shipped with fw 1.13).
I tried to downgrade my mda to 1.12 and get also a blackscreen. only a reset helps.
does anybody know what they have changed in designt?
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
T-Mobile and TomTom told me that this is a known issue, with currently shipped MDA's. It could take weeks until they will provide an ROM Update or an update for TomTom.
Not much of a help, but:
I have upgraded my MDA with ROM 1.13 and TomTom is working correctly here.
Could it be that your bundled version of TT isn't the same as the one that is bought seperately?
If that's the case, then TT looks to be spending more time protecting their software, than to make sure it actually runs! Not that there's anything new in that, it just sucks when you pay big money for something and it doesn't work as good as the pirated soft other ppl dl off the net...

The definitive list of names for the TYTN

Can somebody please tell me if they have bought one of these phones in ENGLAND (ONLY INTERESTED IN ENGLAND). A simple answer of Yes, contact details of where the phone was bought and the cost of the phone AND/OR contract details.
HTC TYTN
QTEK 9600
IMATE JASJAM
ORANGE SPV M3100
XDA TRION
T MOBILE MDA VARIO II
DOPOD CHT 9000
XDA XION
VODAFONE V1605
HERM 200
I think that these are all the same phone. (correct me if I am wrong)
Kind Regards

Yes.
Several people have bought the Voda version (from the Voda shop in Watford) I believe.
Personally, I will wait for either the Orange or T-Mobile version (they will look different - better IMO - to the Voda version and will also have a better data package).

O2 Orbit 2 - Finally on the web-site

Just found the O2 Orbit 2 on the Business site:
http://businessshop.o2.co.uk/phone_detail.aspx?id=133&groupid=4
Nice to see O2 have got the specs correct
they say it has wm5 on it
that isn't correct

Yeah! and no QuickGPS
Does anyone know if the phone comes with the same wired remote as the HTC version?
O2 are listing an 'O2 Xda Orbit 2' and an 'O2 Xda Orbit 2 with Sat Nav'. The one with satnav mentions built in GPS, so I don't think it just means software.
I presume the one without satnav will be cheaper, so have O2 disabled the GPS in one model, if so can it be reconfigured?
I dont think its disabled, but doesnt come with map's, car kit, windscreen holder etc.
Correct me if Im wrong
o2 Orbit II
Took delivery of mine today came with Co-Pilot pre-installed, windscreen mount, car charger, 1GB micro SD. It's got the FM radio back, (Stellar doesn't) and works perfectly with my 8GB SD card, in all perfect...

T-Mobile's MDA Compact IV

Does anybody know which device this phone is?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/eyes-on-with-t-mobiles-mda-compact-iv/
Most likely its an HTC, but it looks like the polaris but its even better.
Why would they release two similar phones so soon after each other?
T-Mobile Shadow. Cheers!
It could be HTC Pharos I think....
but 4 GB storage? Hm....
actually it is the htc touch diamond but it's the germany tmobile version known as the MDA compact 4. T-mobile and HTC are now working together to make great mda's. And if you don't know htc was making the diamond but with a full qwerty keyboard and they were going to call it the raphael but t-mobile is going to call it the Vario 4. The Compact 4 is coming out in "Germany" Next month(July) for a not yet determined price and the vario 4 will be released in autumn for Germany. Well i hope this helps and i hope Europe releases those phones to US soon or i'll be very upset. lol

That's a "Victor" rather than a "Diamond". Same device, just different casing design!
I checked T-Mobile UK customer services and they say that T-Mobile UK is expecting MDA compact 4 in July 2008! So we may get this device in UK soon!

I went into a T-Mobile shop to ask about any release date and the sales staff just looked at me blankly and shrugged their shoulders!!

I hope they sort out the aledged 'laggy' response on the screen graphics of the HTC Diamond I have read about in some reviews...my advice is a 'hands on' test of a real retail version of the device in the store before handing over your cash
the compact 4 is being relesed in uk sometime before september (my tmob contracts due for upgrade then so i got the details of new phones outta their upgrades team earlier this week. - and it IS a diamond with tmob badges

Diamonds (HTC Touch Diamond that is... not the compact 4) are available in the UK as of now, i dont get why it takes tmobile so long to simply rebadge the diamond (its quite minimal from what ive seen).
I am on a tmobile contract with my HTC TyTN, but i plan on using the upgrade for a handset for the Mrs, i like the look of the Raphael anyway (HTC Touch Pro..........Vario IV).

I think the Compact IV is a Victor (no Diamond effect stuff) rather than a Diamond (P3702 rather than P3700).
I guess operators want to try and get the most money from the current devices before making money from the new ones...
The T-Mo phones do have a redecorated TF3D though...
This is MDA compact 4
