Helooo!
this is actualy my first post though I have been lurking for ages
proud owner of a HTC Wizard about to upgrade to the XDA orbit but thats not my question
recently came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/CECT-W800-Touch...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Looks like an Artamis but its it, another CECT clone of the orbit with no wifi but with built in GPS running WM5
anyone actualy bought one? I wonder if it could be upgraded in some way with a custom ROM to WM6?
not too botherd as going to get the Artamis anyway but may be intrested in buying it to experiment
same thought...
but still no answer found
Hi All,
This is my first time on here i've just got the CECT W800 as a christmas present and so far very happy with it. The onboard tomtom GPS works very well and it came with complete car kit and two batteries all for £138 inc postage from China. I've recently found out its a clone of the MDA Compact III, does anyone know of any other issues with this phone?
It came sim unlocked for any network and i put my virgin sim card in and it found all the correct setting for GPRS and MMS automatically.
Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?
Thanks Mick.
Have You eny problems with w800:
- with sms receive ?
- gsm module working after softreset ?

"Can anyone tell me if any of the iphone lookalike programs and skins would work with this phone pls?"
those programs and skins are generaly made for windows mobile and will generaly run on all devices which run windows mobile
Does the w800 have EDGE or just GPRS data? I'm looking in to getting one shortly and I won't even bother if it only has a GPRS radio.
How's the build quality and camera? Decent?

It's only gprs. Camera - phone quality
W800 hasn't any manufacturer support and has many bugs

what a shame... i could get past the bugs since SOMEONE's firmware ought to load on it but if the data is GPRS only, forget about it... too bad about it, the only other phone that I've seen that has built in GPS and doesn't cost an arm and a leg is the Pharos PTL600 for USD $469 with a $50 rebate. That's an ETEN rebrand, I believe.
the CECT w800 sounds (in theory) like a great device, is there a support website for it or does it just come out of a warehouse in Taiwan and that's it? I know CECT makes that knockoff iPhone that everyone has up on Ebay so they should be a fairly major company with at least a website.
I found cectelecom.com and qxmc.com as the Chinese and English webpages for CECT. Oddly enough, they don't list either this knockoff or the iPhone knockoff they sell. I'm going to shoot them an email and ask about the W800.
look this thread
Hi,
I have the CECT W800 and i'm very pleased with it. It comes with tomtom satnav which is very good and 1gig memory card. Try these websites www.cectstore.com and www.sourcinggate.com for more info.
Thanks Mick
GPS
Hi All,
Can someone answer does GPS navigation works without connecting external gps antenna.
I'm planning to buy one but i read that you must connect external antenna to have signal in navigation software.
BR
Hi,
Mine works without the external airel but it may take a bit longer to find a signal without it than it does with it, usually a couple of minutes. Where do you live? I'm in the UK and got the phone for xmas and very happy with it, if you need to know anything else about this phone let me know aand i'll try help.
I have this w800 and never used it. It came with its core language in Italian, a language I neither read or understand.
Is there anyone out there with an English rom for this damned thing.
Cheers all.
hi Lekkie,
Where did you get it from? I got mine from china via ebay and came in English, tomtom satnav was in chinese but changed it in the tomtom settings. I don't how you can get the rest of it in English maybe someone on here can help. I'll look through mine see if theres any language settings on it. Did you get a user manual with it? I got English version on CD rom i could send you file if you want, let me know.
Mick.
Hi guys,
Yes, got it through Ebay from some little chinese fella who has no idea about sending a phone with the right language for the country its being used in, its driving me crazy this damned thing.
I did get the manual, yes. That at least is in english, its the phone thats in italian.
Is there a way i could take a copy of the rom off mine and either send it to you by email or post it on here as mine is in English?
help!!
I set a pass code so it would lock and the pass code just quit working one morning anyone know a way to fix this?
Hi Kids,
My wife just got home from Hong Kong with a HTC HD2 phone with what i think was windows in chinese (i think this could be switched th English) and in turn this could then be switched to Andriod in English.
Now I had not asked for the phone so had no idea what Andriod was or any of the rest of it.
I am not sure how the wife did it but when she was do something she lost the ability to switch to Andriod and in trying to reset it I think she has done a factory reset so it is now Chinese OS with nothing else on it no Andriod nothing but Chinese OS. on the one hand she is Chinese so not bad for her but I have been trying to change the OS to UK and start again.
I first looked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314 but that was a bit over my head and then ended up here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
but i have no idea what a RUU_signed.nbh having looked further there is talk of original ROMs cooking and kitchens. Is the original rom a disk that came with the phone ? i dont want to try anything as i have no disk and dont know how to get the original ROm. I really am lost now I will do some reading but I have really been thrown in at the deep end is this tech is completely new to me.
thought please
bumpty bump bump
i have a sprint htc hero i have never upgraded it since i bought it still running the firmware it cam with i think 1.5 the phone seems like it sucks and im hearing all this talk about upgrading to 2.3 or something i just want my phone to run better and i wanna be able to do all the thing this phone is supposed to do!!! like i said im totally new to all this so please dont bash me just slide me in the right direction!!! thanks guys!
So I´ve got the Wi-fi version of the 7 inch gtab, GT-P1010, and it´s runnin Froyo version 2.2.2, but I´ve got root access.
The thing is I got it at a discounted price from a big Retailer down here(Peru), and they stuck their damned brand name on it every time it turns on or off, do you guys know of any way of getting rid of it? I´ve seen a couple other posts, but they mentioned it might vary if its a wi-fi version, I would think that since it doesn´t have a carrier concerned with hacking or w/e that it´d be easier, but I don´t know.
Any help would be greatly apreciated! and im not much of a modder, so I´d need an explanation through easy street lol.
thanks in advance!
since its rooted, try ROM Toolbox app ... you find it on the market
Experiment at your own risk. Should be pretty safe though.
This is my post which is closely related.

Dear people,
I have since a month of 2 the new freelander I20 Phone( Same phone like a newman N2), but i have terrible bugs with the phone or android version.
My network connection is lost a lot, data go's off with no reason, all the names from my contacts become just numbers again(doesn't know them anymore,...)
I'am checking Xda already a long time but still nobody seems to have a ROM builded for this phone (except some Chinees where i don't understand anything from :'( )
The is bought on ChinaVasion so returning is kinda hard...
Because my last phone (U8800 X5) was pimped a lot from ROMS i got from XDA i was hoping to do the same for this phone.
To get to the question...
Does anyone know or is anyone willing to make a new ROM for this phone? I have a nice 'hardware' device but is bugged that hard that it isn't pleasant to work with.
Best regards Roald VdB
