O2 has stopped selling the XDAiis

I have been looking at PDA/Phones and decided on the XDAIIs. I had previously seen it on the O2 web site but when I checked yesterday it has all the adds and specs but when you go to buy online it says" Sorry, this handset is no longer available; You may wish to make a selection from our current range, displayed below" Does anyone know if it has been discontied or if there is a new model in the pipline.

Well, you can still get it from other people! iMate, (expansys.com), etc.

yep i got mine form orange

Hi,
I work for a communications company and we've just sold 10 of these to a company, all on O2.
Any probs, let me know.
CHeers,
Bret

i work for o2 and they had to discon it due to system problems
if you want anything get the i or the exec both well better than the s

Thats interesting to know. We are an O2 dealer so shouldn't someone have told us before we bought 12 of them?
How long ago was it discontinued???
Not amused about that at all.

Can you name the exact problems?

Bluetooth is one! Terrible BT hardware. Half a meter away and the cracks make the headset unusable. 22003SE and BT patches / WM5 just equally crappy :evil:
Just waiting for the Atom/Athena :roll:
In the meantime, my 2020 with 2003SE / automated Sin Merge is the best combo I tried. Thinking about moving to WM5 but the issues I had on my BA with ActiveSync/Outlook/Exchange server are making me think twice...
BTW, any news on FCS for Athena?

It's about effing time!! The Blueangel was not ready for sale. Not everyone knows how to hack a ROM and most business users need it to work out of the box which it defo didn't.
I know the problem: 02 didn't release the 1.40 ROM.
AND as I mentioned in another thread I have just broken my handsfree socket by mistake. I could fix it but I don't wanna take it apart and ruin the warranty.
I also don't wanna pay to have it fixed as I don't have ANY money. The down key is getting dodgy as well. I think I will go for a new one on insurance. Do you think they will gimme an Exec no that the 2s has been discontinued?
I only got the 2s as an insurance job for the XDA2 about 5 months ago. Do you think that they will be funny about it in the shop or will they not bother?

the s.... is crap

FM Radio for HTC Wizard

Ok so this is my first post here, so if I drop a clanger, please bear with me.
I've got an HTC Wizard (T Mobile Vario etc) but there is something I'm really missing.
Does anyone know of anybody that makes & sells a wired hands free kit with a built in FM Tuner? I would have preferred a built in FM radio in the phone (yes I know, I should have got an Atom), but I didnt & now I have to live with it.
I know Nokia & Sony Ericsson do external tuners for their phones. It should be easy with an Wizard because the only connections are via jack sockets.
I have turned EBay upside down looking for this type of thing, but all I can find are cheap looking plasticy things from China that run on watch batteries! I was looking for something a bit more up market.
I'm sure I can't be the only person in the world that
wants an FM radio bolt on for their Wizard!?
Or am I???????????????????????????????????????

you can get a fm radio sdio card which would add fm radio to all pda's with a sdio slot

the Wizard uses MiniSD, and as such won't work with any SD I/O cards. Afaik, you can't get an SD I/O > MiniSD converter either?

This is not good news. I too have seen the SDIO cards. I think all they do is bleed power from the device, rateher than being truely integrated. But never seen a mini SD devive
Anyone seen anything combined into a headset?????

Plenty of radios that are basically stuck on a plug and two earbuds;

But I don't know if they work together with the Wizard for e.g. voice commands (which I personally don't use, so doesn't matter to me)

Yes I am aware of the type of radio that you mention. As I said in my original post "I know Nokia & Sony Ericsson do external tuners for their phones". Problem is they dont have the correct plug to use with a wizard (ie 4 conector, 2.5mm jack plug) which is what you need to listen to MP3 music (for example) then maybe switch to a phone call & then listen to the radio all using the same headset. The Motorola one is close, but the pins on the jack plug are not correct Something like this would be great, ie a headset (with microphone) + a radio. Am I asking for too much?????

I guess you are
Could take some cutters and a soldering iron and work some magic with that :>

Hi, have a look on the following link, it is the one i am using.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=111492

N I C E !
It almost fits the bill. If only it could use the bluetooth connection to use the MP3 player on your phone (in stereo of course). I think I need one of these N*k*a (sorry I nearly swore) & A2DP. Assuming the T Mobile ROM ever turns up will A2DP work on a wizard?
Why is it that the BIG 3 phone companies look after their phones with good accessories? Come on HTC, your phones are great, but they need to branch out & support the phone range with some add on goodies.

You're right about that. I had an SDIO WiFi card for my magician. Whereas the battery would normally last a few days, it would be dead within an hour with the WiFi card in.

Hello any news on this yet?
Hi,
I have been searching around for something like this too. Unfortunately no luck.
Any of you guys find something interesting?
rohseq

Sadly not. I too am still searching the internet for something, but so far nothing that matches the criteria has popped up. Its becoming more & more annoying :x Every time I see something its a specific product for one of the big phone manufacturers. Clearly they put a value on selling accessories (presumably for a good profit) to enhance their phones, whereas most Windows powered phone owners are left to fend for themselves with stuff off fleabay.
Makes me wonder if its worth going down this route again So far I have had an original SPV, E200, C500, C550 & now a Vario (Wizard). Next time around I might go back to the big "N" & enjoy the benefits of buying something from a fully supported product range.

I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard

Does this product work with Windows Mobile 6?

For you people who dont know what I'm talking abt
http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/

i really dont know...but im curious to use it...should be nice hehe

It looks uber fantastic. I just want to know if it works with WM6. Called up their tech support, got redirected to some chinese voice message.

I can try and let you know, if I can find its charger

I thought it used AAA batteries?
Regardless, try it! and please do let me know. It seems like a fantastic product, just wana make sure Artemis can be used with it.

Hi, I just tested it, it works very good, even better than in wm5 (I'm using BB4), unlike wm5 there is no drivers to install, and it works not only when typing but also in general to navigate thru the phone functions, like to scroll the contacts etc...

If they work...
Me and a friend of mine bought both these keyboards, Mine was DOA, The other one gave some light but did not work either. The shop stopped selling this product because of all the problems.

How long ago did you guy this?
I've read online reviews saying the models seemed to have been fixed. I really want a keyboard, and this looks cool, else my second option is trading Artemis for a Nokia E90.. Sigh.. Is going to Symbian worth it?

OMG!!! It's way too much for this. The screen is seriously dilapitated and the sound sounds muffled coming thru the headphones. I bought it for someone at work. They always comented on my Artemis so I thought it would be a good gag gift. In terms of usability, its horrid. Not even touchscreen.

Theres also companies selling look-a-like Touch mp3 players now.

Exactly what I thought! I wouldnt use it even it it came for free with my Artemis lol.. so whats up with your colleagues commenting your Artemis? are they jealous or do they prefer a Blackberry/Palm like my colleagues?

Yes, my coworkers are using the Tmo MDA's, SDA's and now the Shadow, others use Wizards and Palm Treo's. Majority of ppl are gonna buy what comes from the carrier, especially upgrade phones over here. I returned the AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) because of the bulk. The Artemis is faster, especially after you put Meschle's Touch_lite 3.01 ROM on it.
Ive got a blackberry pearl refurb that collects dust in a drawer. The trackwheel on the Artemis is more responsive than the pearl.

Thanks for sharing this nice mp3 player.

bluetooth with fm-radio

Since I have a iy780 that does not have an inbuilt fm-radio I+d like to find a bluetooth headset with a fmradio.
The best one Ive seen seems to be Itech clip d-r.
Unfortunately they dont sell it in Europe. I havent been able to find one anyway.
I know Nokia has one but its almost triple the price of Itechs.
Why are there so few headsets with radio?
I dont understand it, must be a great need of such a headset.
Any recommendations for swedish user like me will be greatly appreciated.
