VDA GPS ft. Toshiba Portege G710

Hello,
I have been a week of the VDA GPS Vodafone, same device as Toshiba Portege G710
It is the standard Windows Mobile 6 installed, no touchscreen. (Smartphone)
It has a right trackball, there are also pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.de/greddy7/VodafoneVDAGPSAuchBekanntAlsToshibaPortegeG710
It has the same size as the HTC S620, has 260MHz, no WLAN, but GPS in it.
My questions now, because I have absolutely nothing could find on this device:
Which company is building the device? HTC builds not.
Which GPS chip was consumed?
Where a still another Rom for this device, or any support pages?
Thank you
Cheers

I'm also keeping an eye on the G710, especially because of the integrated GPS and the small keyboard. However, one thing makes me wonder:
Can I use any navigation application with the Portégé G710?
Although the Portégé G710 is GPS enabled, it is not possible to use any standard navigation software on the G710. Details on which navigation packages are compatible with the Portégé G710 will be available soon.

It would be nice to know whether TomTom or a similar offline navigation software would work. I cannot imagine that "it is not possible"

now my device is at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200211975316
This device is cheap, price and quality. I am now back to my htc s620!
Tomtom5: Screen black, the device is not stopped, but the screen is black. The same
with the core player: Screen black ...
Tomtom6: Screen not black, nice, but Tomtom detect no GPS Hardware
Route 66: works (but i can not live with this slow gps software !)
This device has many bugs ...
cheers

Could you check out any other navigation software such as Navigon?
By the way: I don't think somebody will pay 300€ on eBay, if you can get it for 230€ at Vodafone directly.

My Toshiba G710 was provided with Copilot Live 7. This software is very good.
I'm very happy with this phone, the Gps receiver is so fast even without a-gps !
Unfortunately, he have not WM6.1 and Toshiba says "it is not foreseen"

This sounds great, would love to see some screen shots in the first post to see what it looks like.
Roland

Yea, I'd like to see here more info and some screenshots.. I don't believe that this is possible, because of complete different hardware.. Being a little sceptic.

I'm not admired that there's a possibility of using WM pro in the VOX...you have something similar on the Startrek (QTEK 8500): link

I will surely like to test it .
But I need to know if this will really work? If you have the ROM and test on your VOX/710, please post some images and scribe a little description about, so that we can analyze before we proceed to test

Sounds very interesting!

They have got WM6.1 Professional ported to the Wings from the Kizer in the Wings forum, maybe that's the place to ask for advice in porting WM6.1 Professional to the Vox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389089
Roland

Pro..
Keep cool, i am not finished with this...and there are no helpfull posts within...

But how do you think to use it without touchscreen?
It will be far from user friendly...

Oh my...believe me, it is useable.
First;
A POCKET PC IS NOT ONLY HIS TOUCHSCREEN!!!
AND A SMARTPHONE IS NOT ONLY A POCKETCAMERA....or anything else than a SmartPhone.
The PRO OS works well on SP, the OS is nearly useable like Standart, (no big differences, you can navigate with dpad+softkeys on ppc, too...)
It is like a PPC with the lack of a Touchscreen, you can carry most of the PPC apps you love,but not be able to install on your Standart-SP...
Most SP-Apps wont install,because there are differences in some Cab-Configs, but most of them works well......and the VOX/WINGS got a qwerty/z Keypad...ideal to use as SIP..
Ive a StarTrak and a Tornado, both are running PRO, i like it, sure, its not useable like a PPC with Touchscreen, but nice to have.
AND DONT FORGET;Smartphones are mostly similar with the PPCHardware (exept the Touchscreen, stop buggin me)

I really hope you get it working sounds great.
especially since I miss one major feature in wm6(.1) standard: WIFI proxy.
it's not possible (as far as I know) to use an http proxy on your wifi connection.. which is a pitty.
if you get it working, I'll most likely install it

There is also Fake Curser that will do the job of the stylus/ finger on a touch screen to close apps and to change to different tabs in apps.
This sounds very prommising if it can be pulled off.
Rioland

You should be able to boot a Professional from the HTC Wizard since they have the very same hardware, but I don't know if the lcd driver would work.
Anyway, you should know, the Omap 850 cpu has native support for touchscreen, if you can find where the pins connect, you could possibly adapt it (assuming you can find a 2.4" 4 wire touch panel).
Another option would be using the mini-usb jack. The cpu has both client and host side usb support. If it's mapped to the connector, and you can make windows put the usb in host mode you can connect a mouse, touchscreen or whatever you want and use it from there (if you get external power to the device you are connecting)
My vox is still under repair (3rd week already) so cannot test anything yet sorry

i would love to try it...

How long will it be until we see the first test version of this ROM?

HTC Touch Cruise T4242 - Iolite - XDA Guide

Has anyone seen the new HTC Footprints feature on TF3D on the Touch Cruise T4242?
"On the Footprints tab, you can take photos of places you visit and store them together with information about those places. You can navigate to the places using the GPS navigation software."

Pitty it ain't VGA, it would be almost perfect successor for my Polaris

Aaargh! Why does HTC have such a confusing naming system - there's a on old version of TouchFLO, and a new version that looks like TouchFLO3D. And now there are two Touch Cruises.

Hi,
No Russian ROM i'm afraid - yet.

Hi,
Any body knows how to remove CID lock for the htc touch cruise T4242 (Iolite)? I was trying to flash the ROM given in this thread (RUU_Iolite_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.3_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship) but I got the "Wrong vender ID" error.
Thanks for help.
Andrius

Can someone actually sell me on this phone because I'm really not convinced. Why would I want an Iolite over a Polaris, especially with the current price difference? It's the same phone with a new body, no?

spl
can someone please tell me wich spl i can use for this phone
and maybe wich custom roms i cant find it anywhere

Hello all,
I'm planning to buy the new hours in a few hours but have a question : I don't pay for internet on my phone. Will the footprint feature will feature ? will I be able to use a map on my computer with the places where I took pictures ?
I'm European and I'm going to buy this phone here in Taipei. They offer me to change the ROM from Chinese to English. Other than that do you see any issue ?
Thanks
koa

I've got a T4242 , Touch Cruise 2009 as it officially called. Dutch version of rom.
Footprint uses GPS to pinpoint your location , all other information you need to enter yourself.
Other features never spoken of :
Start navpanel and bluetooth when placed in car holder. Handy so you don't need to turn on/off BT to save battery.
5-Way button. Around his button is a small circle, it can be turned like a volume turn. This is used to scroll through mail etc and through options.
Big improvements for me :
GPS
HSDPA
Faster CPU
More internal mem.
(i had a Herald before).

the new touch cruise has a fixed focus camera...and i cannot understand why htc sometimes does things like this...

Samsung C6625

Hello,

-screen quality excellent
-SMS Chat are available through PHM Registry Editor
-awesome built quality
-videocall quality are quite good
(-)
-the sound quality reduced if the sound is too loud (loudspeaker or not, both the same)
-too light for a smartphone

Hello,

cheers

Hi..
How is the battery backup practically ?
thanks

how to upgrade this phone to wm6.5 friends?
thx.

is there any comment for C6625?

Comments on C6625
I am a new owner of a Samsung C6625.
First thing first the minuses:
- no touchscreen running an OS designed for touchscreens! most software are running but are unusable. Imagine a igo8 running and getting stuck in the main menu (frustrating)
- GPS has poor signal
- WM is standard
- community support for it is limited!
- no wifi
Pluses
+ no slide for keyboard
+ bussiness phone image.
Advice
Buy a normal touch screen phone something form HTC, Eten if you are lucy and don't have hardware problems then you have good mobile with great community support. I also have an older M700 Eten running WM6.5 that I will keep because the C6625 isn't able to replace it.

hello all,
i'm from indonesia,i've use this phone for quite sometimes.
its true that garmin XT works very nice in this device.and if you want to use free pushmail you might consider using SEVEN (its realtime pushmail,excellent).
someone posted about sms notifier,is it similar to sms ticker?cos if it is its already in the device,so you don't have to install third party softwares.
i found this device very handy,especially for backups.by simply using microsoft myphone,and my C6625 is on the internet!
for other applications,i think we can use any WM 6.1 softwares.heaps of it is on the net!^^
about upgrading to 6.5, i don't think C6625 will survive,or maybe if you push it,it'll explode because of the processor's limit.LOL

i think GPS signal depends on your location,so it doesn't count for the minuses of this device.CMIIW

The device is more than good, my best one-Hand Phone. I use it for months, GPS with Garmin is really nice. But now I look for the HTC ozone, Samsung Omnia B7330 or LG GW550, it just has something new here. Therefore, I sell my C6625 so if you have interest, just let me know.
cheers

hi, i'm from indonesia and i think this c6625 is very good. garmin XT work very nice even i was inside home.

Help on a smartphone needed

Hi there
Just after a bit of help or reccommendations please. I want a pda/phone that has the following features:
Runs Windows (for live and messenger)
wifi
Runs office applications like exel etc so you can edit
Has a slide out qwerty keyboard (with or without touchscreen)
Has a camera and secondary camera (with flash would be ideal)
Possibly a radio although not relevant.
Something i can pick up on ebay for around £100 or cheaper!
I currently have an XDA Orbit which i adore, but want to upgrade and i know there are loads on the market now so need your help in choosing.
Thank you.

Either the Samsung B7610 or Htc touch pro 2

I would check out the HTC Rhodium TP2...

Yes!
Go for Rhodium!
