Hello,
I am trying to decide what model to buy again, I used to have a PDA2K and ended up getting rid of it due to a bunch of Bluetooth issues, like crashing when trying to answer a call via the headset.
So I am giving my Treo 650 to my fiancée' and going back to the Pocket PC platform, I miss all the capabilities that I don't have with the Treo.
So, are most of the stability issues fixed with either the PDA2K and the O2 XDA IIs?
I really prefer the Black O2, but I want a stable platform, have there been any hardware revisions? will one be better than the other?
Thanks

I am planning to get a XDAIIs in a very short time coz I will be travelling overseas 1 week later.
Because of that I need to unlock my XDAIIs......anyone tried to approach O2 and get his IIs unlocked (for a fee or whatever)?

Seems XDA II can be "unblock", how about IIs?
Thanks everyone!
PS: I can't see MDA III from T-Mobile UK on its website, or in shop few days ago, is it really released in UK? If it is unlockable for 15pounds I am happy to pay for it, but I like the black colour of IIs more.
Thanks again!
Hi all, newbie to the forum here.
I too like the black casing of the XDA IIs as opposed to the MDA III, PDA2k, etc. and would like to know if it's possible to unlock this phone.
I'd also like to know if, once unlocked, it's possible to put a different ROM on the device, like the imate PDA2k ROM or the UK MDA III ROM.
In reading through the forum, it seems that there's not much information about the XDA IIs yet, but any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Sorry for the n00b question - I couldn't find the proper search terms to answer my question.
I'm currently checkin' out the XDA IIs, MDA III, SX66, etc on eBay, and the prices vary pretty widely. You can pick up a SX66 for ~$600, but an XDA IIs is around ~$800, as is the MDA III.
My question is, how different are they? I'm in the US, so I think the SX66 is the most easily obtainable, but how restrictive/overbearing is the Cingular firmware? I'd unlock the device, of course. I'd like to use T-Mobile service (since I'm already on a family plan), so I could get the MDA III, but I'd end up paying ~$200 more for the phone itself. If I were to get the SX66 (or the XDA IIs if I could find it cheaper), could I flash in a T-Mobile firmware and/or any newer international stuff and maintain all functionality? Or is there any benefit at all to use a firmware that's associated with your provider?
I did read that the Siemens version is PH20B1, versus the PH20B of the other iterations of the device. Any problems that I may need to overcome? Also, what's the definition of a "cooked" firmware (as I see in many people's signatures)?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all....
Magician user stepping up to the universal, so been reading through all the info on updates.
I'm buying a 2nd hand o2 exec, that currently has UK orange rom, and is unlocked for all networks.
I'm putting a t-mobile sim into it....
What rom would you recommend? Any reason to stick with the M5000 rom? Should I go t-mobile (recent new one I note) for ease of setup with t-mob sim, or I note the Qtek is bare and fast?
I guess all I want that might be unusual is the A2DP stereo bluetooth and AVRCP bluetooth WM controls.
Opinions welcome.. "what would you do?"
Thanks in advance,
Qtek seems to be the most popular ROM for AUK2 support (as in with A2DP and AVRCP control). It works for most people, but some of us are having problems with getting the Qtek ROM to work perfectly with the Jabra HT620s. Good luck anyway.
Cheers Richard.
Hello,
i was contemplating buying an artemis.
i was wondering what the difference between the T-Mobile MDA Compact III and the O2 XDA Orbit is?
i hav read that t-mobile does not support wifi on its model, in addition to that, are there any other differences.
i read that there is an SD card issue with the O2 orbit, i guess that applies to the compact III too?
any idea when WM6 for artemis will be out, will t-mobile,o2 provide it as a flash update? or will we have to get it from HTC.
i saw WM6 for hermes on this site, i guess that cant be used on the artemis?
Apart from the T-Mobile not having the WiFi hardware within the unit the other differences are minimal, the O2 offering has a darker coloured outer shell and has more rounded corners - otherwise its the same. To be honest I do not miss the WiFi on the T-Mobile unit due to the GPRS internet access with the web-n-walk package.
I have had no issues mith scrambled memory cards on either my HTC P3300 or T-Mobile unit, so I cannot comment on this.
Don't ever try putting any ROM on a device that it wasn't intended for, if you do this your nice new phone will turn instantly into a very costly wedge to keep your door open - a brick - Wait unit the official ROM becomes available before trying WM6 on the unit - Mike
thanks for the reply,
so there is no EDGE or 3G on the Cmpact III
you think there is going to be an official WM6 from t-mobile?
Edge Yes, 3G no, WM6 from T-Mobile who knows - it might happen but don't hold your breath - Mike
thanks for the response dude
seen screen shots of WM6, that would be real cool.
I use WM6 on the Exec and the Mini-S (thanks to this forum), its great but not that different to be honest compared to WM2005, when/ if WM6 becomes available I will switch the newer units to the newer OS but I certainly won't loose sleep over the issue - Mike

Here in the Netherlands WM6 for T-Mobile users will be availible at the end of july.
Btw, the Dutch version of the MDA Compact III does have Wifi. Guess we Dutch are just lucky.
Check the serveral Topics about WM& on this Forum, different Carriers have announced the possibility of them publishing official ROM Upgrades to WM6, including t-mobile and O2.
thanks for the replies dudes
G'Day have been using a Blackberry for the past 2 years but in changing jobs I have handed back the BB and just bought myself a DOPOD P800W off eBay. Prior to the BB I was using an i-Mate PDA2k EVDO and before that an O2 XDAII.
As I wait patiently for delivery of the DOPOD unit I wanted to confirm a few things.
1. Am I correct in assuming it is the same unit as the Artemis?
2. It is running WM6.0. Will I need to run a patch to access >2gb memory cards?
3. As my purchased applications are for WM3 I presume I'll need to upgrade them for them to run on WM6.0?
4. Anything else I need to be aware off in regard to this PPC/Phone?
Thanks.
Ed
Thanks for your help.
