I brought a nokia 6670 for approx. 320 US$ in may 2005. activated gprs from mobilink pakistan in august (i got that phone so i could surf internet and chat!)...and it's 500 pak.rupees per month for UNLIMITED gprs usage. 500rs. is about 8.5 US$.... yes... LESS THAN 10 US$ per month.
I wonder why that is so. btw, i use yahoo and msn messenger on the nokia6670. ;thinking of buying an i--mate but all confused. JAM here is for 33,000 pak rs. that's....560US$... with 128mb upgrade its about 593US$ but the guy at the shop said I can go aal the way upto 1GB which would cost 38,000 pak rs. (644US$)...
IS IT possible to use msn and yahoo messenger both on the i-mate or just msn?
also....i knw size matters and all. I like the big screen of the PDA2k but slide out keyboard seems risky... the PDA2 is available here too for 42,000 pak.rs. (711US$).. and K-JAM for about same price (711US$)....
I want something big screen and for large internet browsing so i enjoy watching pics, seeings movies, reading e-books etc. would need to stop wearing small pocket jeans though if i get the PDA2... so maybe K-JAM.
Also, whch out of these is most reliable as far as memory not getting lost and stability of system goes? no hanging/freezing etc.
Also, I use 2 SD cards with my cannon digital camera, one is 128mb and other is 256mb and i plan to use those with whichever IMATE i get. I have a 256 miniSD card with the nokia 6670. I wanna ask can I clip on the mini-sd card to it's holder and use that as a regular SD card on the Imate? I use the camera a lot for work so would love to be able to do that
Thinking of selling off the 6670 for about 200US$ and getting an i-mate in Jan.2006.. i look forward to being more active at this forum (great work admin after i do get an i-mate....JAM or K-JAM or what... :S Any advice and answers to questons above I'd be most thankful for.
sorry , one more question i forgot to ask!
Is EDGE technology dependent on the DEVICE or the service provider. I called my provider and the lady said it's regular gprs....
i'm asking coz the K-JAM has EDGE in it and the JAM doesn't...so...getting a K-JAM would mean faster browsing? not that i have a problem with the current gprs on the nokia... i even hook up the cellphone to my PC via USB when my regular cable isn't working and use the gprs... i mean, heck it's less tha 10US$ per month so it's my "backup"..
as u can see i've been doing research on all these imate models kind of stuff this last week on the internet before selling off the nokia6670 and buyng one of these

T-mobile Artemis in the Netherlands

As of yesterday the Artemis is on the T-mobile site in Holland. I called customer service and they told me they have them in stock. I will order it next week!
The Dutch T-mobile version differs from the German, it will be released with:
WIFI, UMTS and HSPDA according to the internetsite and they even talk about infrared. But without TomTom (6) They could not tell me wether a FM radio is integrated.
Just wanted you all to know. Here is the link
h**ps://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/page/shopping/product/productdetails.aspx?vid=ResidentialProductSmartphoneDetails&ProductId=2677&tab=1

Forgive my lameness but I do not see mentionned anywhere the device supports hspda nor UMTS (it shall be supporting EDGE though even it is not mentionned on your link).
https://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk...ProductSmartphoneDetails&ProductId=2677&tab=1
Greets

As stated from the site:
Afmetingen: 113 x 58 x 22 mm
Gewicht: 176 gram
Sorry i do not understand dutch, but I think the correct dimensions are as follows:
108 x 58 x 16.8
128g
Those using it now.. pls confirm. Thanks!

When I visited the site last Sunday HSPDA and UMTS was mentioned. They probably updated the specs.

Is it a new contract or a renewal?
Also, how did you place your order? Website/callcenter..
I am also in the Netherlands, and interested in this phone..
But, prices on the t-mobile website seem to be higher than yours..
Thanks..

These conditions are for a renewal. I placed the order at the call-center. They told me they have better offers then the ones on the website and in the shops, because they have less overheadcosts etc.
When I ordered the free BT-headset was mentioned on the website as well, but couldn't find it anymore today. It seems they change there offers daily.
In other forums poeple today are talking about 29,95 for the device with a 2 year contract, no matter wich contract (but no TT6 with maps of Benelux and no BT headset)
So call the klantenservice
(btw I'm still waiting for a written confirmation)

Thanks. I'll give a call and try to get a good deal..

u have such cheap n affordable handsets price in your country, totally different from my country, even with plan it can/might cost around euro600

Today I've got the written acknowledgement from T-mobile.
Surprisingly it didn't say anything about TomTom6. I called them and they told met they made a mistake, altough they confirmed it to me sevral times by phone. TT6 is being sold with the MDA vario only and not with the Compact III.
I wrote them an e-mail where a stated they have to deliver what was agreed.
Let me know when you are interested in the outcom (probably dome where next week)

Well, paid a visit to a Tmob shop yesterday.
Price for Flex30-1 year is 209 Euros, same as their web shop and not very cheap.
So, I decided to wait for a week or two to see if Trinity indeed comes out with an integtared GPS as speculated in various forums..
So, at stand by for now...
BTW, are you happy with your unit? Any problems so far?
And how is the internet connection speed if you've got web n' walk?
Thanks..

Are T-Mobile lying to me?

I am about to purchase the XDA Orbit or Orange M700 or the T-Mobile MDA Compact iii. I am trying to get the best deal...Is there anyway to switch on the MDA'S WLAN?
Orange- Phone FREE. £35/[email protected] months. 200 Mins & 300 txts PLUS unlimited weekend texts. No satnav software and the WLAN is there!!
02- (Who I am with now tried to better orange's offer) Phone FREE. £30/[email protected] 18 months!! 400 mins & 750 texta. No satnav software and the wireless lans there.
T-Mobile - (They know both Orange's & 02's offer but didnt make an offer) Web and walk flext. £37.50/[email protected] 18 months (With the option to cancel the web and walk at anytime as well as downgrade to a cheaper contract after 6 months) £180 allowence on my account per a month, plus 1GB of internet access (They say unlimited but thats a lie due to fair use policy etc etc) No satnav software or Wireless Lan (The guy said a firmware update is comming which will switch it on!??)
HELP ME PLEASSEE!

Why you're boring us with questions to WLAN on MDAcIII?
There are thousends and thousands of threads concerning this question.

For what its worth, from a MDA III owner go with the XDA Orbit.
The spv m700 is HTC Trinity. Orange sell the Artemis as spv m650 but is it available in the UK?
As for the wifi on the MDA III.....do not think it will take a simple update to switch it on. I believe the hardware is simply not there to begin with. Why would T-mobile say an update is coming which will activate the wifi ?! Looks like they are offering flext 35 + web n walk. Personally, hate to be locked in an 18 month contract with any provider. I am on flext 35 with a 12 month plan, my monthly allowance is only £120.
The lack of wifi is not too bad if you have web n walk. Yes there is a fair usage policy, it is still best gprs tariff in the UK. They don't like you using msn, skype etc.
You will have it all with the Orbit. Gps, Wifi, bluetooth and phone!

The T-Mobile devise does not contain the WiFi hardware so if T-Mobile told you a firmware update will switch it on he is lying - there is NOTHING THERE to be switched on!
I have the T-Mob unit and with the Web-n-Walk I can use the internet without a problem, you would have to be online nearly 24/7 to use up your 1GB per month (and there is another tarrif for 3GB per month IIRC).
I also have the HTC P3300 Artemis which does have WiFi, but unless the connection is free I tend to use the T-Mob unit. If WiFi is so important to you get the O2 Orbit or buy a P3300 unit, they are available from some suppliers tied to contracts which is a cheaper way to purchase it.
For me the clincher for the HTC P3300 Artemis was the abscence of the crappy O2 Active Interface software that can mess up otherwise perfectly usable good hardware, the HTC unit is to all intents and purposes the same as the Orbit, minus the XDA logo and its a nicer colour IMHO - Mike

You can always get the HTC P3300 and then go with any provider you want so you are not stuck with their built in bs.

One thing to watch out for is the possible difference in screens between the orange and o2 versions? I had the Orange M600 and was very happy with it unitl I put it beside an iMate Jamin - the Jamin's screen was much whiter and brighter even at lower backlight settings.
I now have the Orbit and the screen is also very bright white. However, I have not compared it to the Orange version but it may be worth doing so...

I don't regret the MDA CIII one bit, my previous Universal had wi-fi and in my usage habits, I never got to turn it on once, I wasn't hunting out hotspots, I wanted data on demand, and via O2 that was quite pricey.
So T-Mobile does not have wi-fi on their Artemis based device, instead they have GPRS bundles that can't even be closely matched by the other networks.
When making the choice, you need to ask yourself how you will use it. Sure if most of your data use is around Wi-Fi hotspots, then the MDA compact III is not for you, but if like me and you need data in a clients house, at a meeting or in the middle of a field then Web and Walk is your friend.
If only it was at 3.5g speeds!!!

All I wanted was a T-Mobile sim for cheaper GPRS when I switched provider (O2 really need to sort out their prices). In the shop I was offered the C-III for free so I took it!
Put the T-Mob sim in the Universal and enjoy the 3G speed (if you still have the device) - it simply flys along well worth trying, but my Uni is a brick in comparison to the Artemis devices - Mike

New Xda Orbit 2 handset - any more info yet?!

Hi all,
I've recently been looking favourably at the TyTN2 handset - I like how it's a HSDPA capable handset with all the bells and whistles like GPS etc.
Now I read of the new Xda Orbit 2 handset!
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/11/09/o2_xda_orbit_2/
And I'm liking this even more in that it'll 'Probably' be cheaper SIM free and that I think it's going to be pretty much the fantastic size of the current Orbit and crams in 3G and HSDPA !
Anyone know more of it's availability in the UK? the article does say 1st QTR 08 and that it's available in Germany now - but I see nothing on ebay or other online stores as yet.
I think I'm going to wait till it's available rather than getting the TyTN2 which I was very nearly going to do about now ! I'm glad I came across that article!
Cheers all!
Dennis, West London UK!

i think it's based on this http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=159608 which is available from 18th Jan.

From the article:
and the device can now accept Micro SD cards of up to 1GB in size.

Erm... I'm using a 2GB MicroSD in my Orbit now?

Got a 2Gb microSD card in my T-Mobile MDA Compact III

For now Im holding on to my Artemis until HTC upgrades it with a keyboard (thumb board rather).
Or a TREO 750 with GPS reciever.
But id HTC doesnt, well Ive got something else in mind:

O2 Orbit 2
January 2008
The upcoming O2 Xda, the Orbit 2, is the new PDA on the O2 block. Running on the Windows Mobile 6 Professional platform this mobile device has a lot going for it. This includes a 3 Megapixel camera, built-in GPS, a MicroSD memory card slot that takes up to 2GB and mini-USB connectivity. The Orbit 2 also comes with TouchFLO technology, which allows complete touchscreen accessibility along with Bluetooth v2 and WLAN. All of this in a great looking piece of kit!

Did you try the o2 website ? http://shop.o2.co.uk/ComingSoon
You don't have long left to wait my friend.
I got the Orbit 1 in April and love it, but everything in the new one is twice the amount. Twice the CPU power, RAM, ROM.
Says in the quote 2GB, I hope they make this bigger as it would appeal as an MP3 player also, but 2GB is enough.
Only 10 months left until my contract runs out and I can get one of these W00t lol

XDA orbit 2 availability
Saw this and looks like a bargain
Phone cost £60.95

Verizon Rhodium Release (6.1 vs. 6.5)

Verizon has released the Touch Pro 2--which rocks. The device is not crippled by the carrier and if you're in the US and in the North East in partiicular (NY) there's no other network to be using.
With the every two promotion you can get the handset for $149. Really.
It ships with WinMobile 6.1 and is upgradable to 6.5 (means a ROM flash) but the 6.5 version (according to Verizon rep.) is slated to ship second week of November.
Questions I have revolve around:
1. Jetware mobile (I got the source code for this application for the forum); it's usually required for auto discovery and blue tooth stereo on Pioneer AVIC products. Anyone loaded the app on the TP2 yet?
2. SPJ Battery Performance Enhancement; anyone loaded this yet to see if it works?
3. Pocketnow.com Enable In-Call Recording
NCH Swift Sound Pocket TRx
Anyone tried in call recroding apps with this device yet?
4. Does the GPS sensor unlock cab that worked on the TP work on the TP2?
Thanks.
I intend to get the 6.5 device shipped rather than reflash (hey, it's only 6-8 weeks) but am wondering if others have vetted these apps and cabs.
Thanks.
