I'm looking to get a phone off eBay that is capable of running WinMo 6.5 along with the Tzones hack. What phones would you people recommend to someone looking for a cheap GSM smartphone?
Also, how simple is it to fix a bad ROM flash, as there I know someone who had bad flash on a Treo 750, and I may be able to buy it off them.
Welcome to forums
Have a look first on marketplace section, some good deals you can find.
For mentioning some cheap ones:
Hermes
Kaiser
Excalibur
Or more $
Touch Pro
Diamond
Good luck,

Hello,
I am new to the site and I have just purchased myself an o2 orbit. I am really happy with it but also very keen to understand how I can enhance its performance or tweak it.
Will their be a section for this phone?
Sorry if I am being impatient but I am raring to go.
Has anyone else got this phone yet? if so what have you done with it? Also where can I buy accessories for it?
I look forward to your responses.

Orbit and TomTom
Hi
i am very new to this thread, so hello and i thank you in advance for any help people are willing to offer.
I am going to be picking my Orbit up tomorrow from my local O2 store. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that TomTom is definately included with the UK models. I have seen on a couple of forums that some people are saying it isn't.
I think your phone is in the Artemis forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=316
Obit
Hi all,
I have never owned an XDA but thought I would put a post about the Orbit that I purchased 2 days ago.
It is an excellent piece of kit .. By default it does not come with TomTom (I was offered CoPilot with a £40 contract but I already had TomTom so I declined. I have put TomTom on the device and it works brilliant .. it seems much more accurate than my palm version (probably more accurate GPS device inside).
I used TomTom for an hour today and my battery went down 2%! Brilliant.
Everything is good about the device .. the only gripe I have is that the microphone socket is mini usb (but I am sure there is a convertor out there for that).
The radio is good too (this also seems to have a minimal drain on the battery).
I will try not to be another annoying new guy.
I have had a trail of symbian phones, mainly nokia's (latest N70) and a SE (P910i). I saw my brother's Orange m600 (prophet?) and want something similar, looking at the xda mini s (wizard?) budget of £150 max.
I want Wifi(for email and MSN),touchscreen, I will use as an MP3 player and pictures.
Also, where do I start with learning all the tech jargon... I was considering doing the Microsoft Desktop Support Tech course as I'm getting more into PC's too.(and the book's about £30)
Opinions please
I have got a Orange SPV M700 (HTC Trinity) ....having fun so far trying to figure things out.
Still, how is the best way to learn about registries and codes and all the technical stuff?
Ignore me, I am a silly newbie
I am a silly newbie
I am a silly newbie
I'm learning from the "Hermes_For_Beginners" as the Trinity doesn't have one.
Note to self: WIKI
Sorry
Thanks
Hey everyone im new to the site, excellent information and tools lying around for these awesome HTC phones! I have a dilemma at the moment im due an upgrade next month with my carrier T-Mobile, im eligible to get any phone so I am trying to decide which would be better out of these: MDA Vario II (Hermes) or the MDA Touch (Elf)? Size and weight between the two if anybody knows would be helpful, also I am aware the Elf has the same 64MB of RAM but can anybody inform me as to which CPU the Elf makes use of or wether it is the same as the Hermes. I am curious to know if the upgrade from WM5 to WM6 has broken any applications in terms of compatibility. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Let me know what you think guys, this place is a fountain of knowledge
Hi Reader,
As a request, Id like to ask for a favour in helping me get a new phone.
Been using a HP IPAQ rw6828 for a yr now, and quite frankly didnt disliked it much.Need to change to a WM6.. have had a enough of all the Nokias.
Used the Black N95 for abt a day and got rid of it.
Kaiser TYTN II/ Blackberry Curve or anyone you guys could suggest.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but didnt found any other forum best suited for this.
Cheerz
I suggest the Tilt....
Thx
Hi Bruv!
1st up thx for the reply!!...I kinda like the black one too... I guess tilt and Tytn II are same... js the weight thing kinda puit me off....
i noe this is XDA PDA forum, but Blackberries are outta liking??
Anyhow... I see you guys breaking a lotta code n making new ROMS... id suppose HTC TYTNII can be tested for a lot of ROMS and softwares.. can it?
tytnII and tilt are identical except for the difference that the tytnII has the front camera while att has cleverly removed that from the tilt.
As far as upgrades go there are a ton of options available here. All depends on what you want and which route you want to go on. Before doing any upgrades though i highly recommend that your read the kaiser wiki.
If you are going to be flashing new roms than don't forget to flash hardspl first to your device; again this is all explained in kaiser wiki so please do read it if you plan on going that far with device.
As far as suggestion i definitely recommend the tilt. It is a great phone/pda/micro laptop and has the capabilities to do alot of wonderful things.
enjoy,
peace
sire
Cheerz bro!...
Will go on wid TyTN II
XDA fo sure roks!
Hello,
I want to buy a new mda and i'm torn between a Raphael and a Dream...
I'm having trouble choosing between these two.
I mean i'm very curious about the Dream, running Android and all, but on the other hand, looking at the tech. specs, Raphael seems a bit more packed and i could still use IGO. Kind of got used to WM i guess; i currently have a Nike200...
Could anyone please tell me what's your opinion, which one would you choose...?
Thanks.
WM or Android
Welcome to forums
I´ll choose Rapahel definetly
I think Android OS is not mature yet, perhaps in a few years but not now.
Just my 2 cents.
read , search, respect and enjoy!
Good luck,
well..im having a dilemma now too..i tot of buying android phone..but i love to taste the window mobile phone..but i suggest u to take raphael like what orb said is true..but if u have little more money to spent on android phone i would take both.cos i want to get familiar with the OS...
Thank you for the replies. I guess I just needed a little push towards HTC Raphael...
Great choice!!
Then go to Wiki and to Raphael secton and enjoy!
If you are not in a rush, you could even go for the Touch Pro II. T-Mobile already has it available and it is roughly the same that AT&T, Sprint, etc are charging for the Touch Pro/Fuze.
But I agree with orb, Android is far from being done (although the Hero interface does look pretty neat)!
