Dear PDA2k owners,
December 13 has arrived and Carrier Devices is yet to do anything that addresses our frustration. Thus, as we agreed, we will take this campaign into phase II in which we will voice our complaints to individuals working for Carrier Devices through every mean possible. Here are the email addresses:
[email protected] ;

Please note that the first three email addresses belong to senior managers at Carrier Devices.
For those users who are willing to go the extra mile you can also fax your complaint to the following fax number:
+97143904428
And for those who are willing to go all the way you can SMS the mobile numbers of the three senior managers I mentioned earlier:
Ann Degnan +971505508863
Shadi Zaytoon +971506583993
Ahmad Aldulemi +971505508864
Personally, I will send my complaint through all three methods.
I understand that many members are too busy to sit down and compose the complaint itself, so I wrote the following template for them to copy and send. NONETHELESS, please try your best to write a complaint in your own words instead. If CD receives the same complaint from all users then they will most probably come up with a template answer just as well that doesn't really say anything. Here is the template text:
Dear Carrier Devices employee,
I write you today to express my frustration at the delay in resolving the Bluetooth shortcomings in the PDA2k. Having Bluetooth functionality played a major role in making my decision to buy the PDA2k, which might explain the magnitude of my disappointment when I realized that the PDA2k did not have a functional Bluetooth feature.
At first Carrier Devices told us, PDA2k users, that the upgrade will be available very soon. That was back in early October, but nothing happened hitherto. A patch was released, but the patch did not fix anything. For a while it even seemed that CD is incapable of turning this situation around.
But what is more infuriating is the lack of communication by CD. And I am not talking about the template emails that you send out to your customers telling them that CD is working on an update. I believe that $900+ paying customers deserve more than that.
I need to know when will the update be available so that I can make a decision as whether to keep my PDA2k or return it to the supplier. I need to know if you are really addressing all the faults of the device or if you will release a patch that causes more problems than it fixes.
PDA2k users have been complaining on your forum to no end, and yet no CD employee bothered to address any of our concerns. Some of us decided to reach you in person, and this is why you are receiving my email.
We will be awaiting your reply. If CD decides not to respond however, which is not very unlikely, then we will not have any choice but to express our frustration to other interested parties. A couple of IT magazines already showed some interest in this topic, and I guess that getting hundreds of emails would cultivate that interest even more.
Thank you for reading my email, and I apologize for infringing on your inbox.
Finally, I would like to thank all the members who are participating in applying pressure on CD to come up with a quick and final solution to this outragous situation. I would like to thank especially Outz, jandrsn, alashram, and Mohammad the owner of www.pocketpcdubai.com for their help on this.
Thank you, and let's hope for a satisfactory outcome this time.
Is the BlueTooth issue only with the i-mate brand of the device, or with all of the similiar devices made by HTC (O2, T-Mobile, etc)
Hi,
I've come across individuals who are selling the xda-unlock software on eBay, for personal profit I assume.
I think this is ethically wrong.
Is anyone on the xda-developers forum aware of this?
I am posting this message in the hope that those who agree that this activity of stealing from those developing the software, will e-mail the person (see below) to tell him that what he is doing is wrong and should stop immediately.
Noteyou may have to copy and paste the following hyper-links into your browser's address field for them to work)
See;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=69929&item=5206235467
I tracked the perpetuator down and confronted him with this breach. His response was pretty much "Go away! I can do what I want" The sad thing is, the person has no idea about the software he's selling and is misleading people by telling them that one version (which he has) is suitable for all PDA's.
Here's his e-mail address.
[email protected] , with which he accpets Paypal payments on-line.
And this is his profile on eBay:
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=mrtrader888&iid=5206235467&frm=284
The odd, brave, eBay traders are complaining about this in the Feedback facility but the feedback system isn't perfect.
See:-
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...val=&page=2&frompage=-1&iid=5206235467&de=off
I hope everyone who appreciates xda-developers.com 's efforts will help stop this person from making money out of their efforts by telling them by e-mail how they feel about it.
technologyfusion.
The only way to deal with this kind of issue is to post an ad every day offering the software for free and directing the people to this site, that way nobody buys from the seller and there is a chance that those directed to the site may donate once they unlock and or upgrade their phone.
The other option is to email every bidder with the details.
I am not a vindictive person, generally, but that email is just begging for about 10,000 newsletters per day. I always believed that educating people is far more effective than punishing them. I think Daily Dumb Question will be a good start for him to explore.
I don't mind people reselling free tools. at the moment they take advantage of poor advertising of our tool.
I now created a wiki page for it, so it will become easier to find for people.
when it rises in google's index, it should become easier to find.

If you're an eBay user, you can send private email to the bidders, warning them that what they are bidding on is available for free. They might not like finding it out after they've already bid, but they will probably appreciate knowing that they shouldn't pay any more for it, and that they can get it right away off the internet. (And if they don't mind a stain on their eBay record for 6 months, they can cancel their bid if it's not too late.)
But surely before bidding on eBay, they should have done their homework. A simple Google search would have found it.
Technically eBay could get you for "bid interference" or some such thing if you emailed users like that, but that won't happen unless they turn around and report you. Be careful, though: in several cases before, when I've given advice to bidders about a bad or misleading piece of merchandise, they've mistaken me for the seller and chewed me out!!! So I don't generally do this unless I'm prepared for an angry response. And I won't go out of my way to do it -- I'll just do it if, say, I was searching for something similar on eBay, and I stumbled across someone's unfortunate bid. ("Think I should warn them? Nah. No good deed goes unpunished.")
Speaking of theft of donations.... Has anyone noticed [deleted]

For sure ... Big Thanks to them !!
...oh well...I wouldn't want it anyway! I will stick with one of the great ones the cookers produce and distribute here!
Long live the cookers and more choice!!
It's political. HTC want that their customer buy the new p3600i with WM6 + 500Mhz + 256Mb Ram..
One more thanks to all the "cookers" that provide us certainly better ROM than the original can be
i'm sad i bought my p3600 1 month ago .............
Well the cooked version of WM6 are out and are off a good quality so sod HTC,
we still have WM6 through the back door!
Didn´t they also said that didnt had any knowledge about P3600 having GPS, when in fact same model was being sold at asia and australia with GPS activated? I remeber that P3600 was brand new and they wanted to sell P3300 as fast as possible, because they knew that if GPS was activated no one would buy P3300 that hasn´t. Few months later, they release ROM´s with GPS active.
In resume, HTC always lie to their customers and always try some delays to sell worst units they got in stock.
I believe, they will release WM6, but not now... not as long they have worst models on sale.
in asia is available!?
hi guys...but is this p3600 update!?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/register.php?a=act&u=605414&i=19752714
why in asia is available and in europe never will be?
p.s.
sorry for bad english
Hi,For me it's finish for this Brand,an new pocket life with the best: Eten.X800 is coming soon in Europe.Bye HTC.
Hi
I sold a Tytn II to an eBay user. I also advised this person to come to XDA for an Italian ROM.
Now the phone is stolen (or actually undelivered according to the buyer).
If I provide you (XDA ADMIN) with the email address of the buyer would you be able to check if he has been downloading Italian ROMS for a Tytn 2 ?
Many thanks from a happy Touch Pro user,
Dave.
I'm afraid that most of the ROMs here are hosted on outside fileservers, like RapidShare or Megaupload, so admins can't provide you such informations...
Did you insure it on the way out?
Also, you should check the tracking with the company you sent it with. If it says delivered, then he could be lying.
I really did not know where to post this, but seeing as 90% of the traffic from the area is from people here in the roms section. As much as I enjoy hosting for people. This is over and done for me. I'm pulling the roms directory off of my server and shutting down the ftp access permanently.

Wow dude! i'm sorry I should have known better... everyone loves ftp speed
Well Josh, your gonna have to change the links in your sig LOL. I really had to cring as I held my finger of the "delete" key on the entire "Roms" dir. For the record, the link to your folder had been passed around to at least a dozen PPC sites. Your single folder was pulling 3 to 4 times the traffic as even CRC's device update which was mirrored on my server. Trust me you were pretty popular. I hope you find another place to host your most excellent Roms. I'll catch ya on the flip side.
They really want to stop the betas from leaking.
I had a copy of my kitchen on filedropper, and it disappeared.
Microsoft seems unfair
YEah it is sad that Microsoft is doing this to us after buying the product and have no support whatsoever after selling the product ( try going to their site and they will give you agents that would probably sell items first before giving their ears for us to tell a problem)
this is sad really ... but it is a good choice to do this step

Sad Day
I understand the concern from MS, but...
Don't want to speak for others, but I've been waiting for something (anything) different from MS on my mobile phones/pdas for over 5 years now and they still offer me that same "today" screen.
This site & the chefs who generously give so much of their time have been able to give me so much more from my phone than MS has, and 6.5 was turning out to be a great follow up.
So now we just wait for MS to actually deliver something.
Not sure I can wait. I'll probably break down and buy an iPhone.

Microsoft Impersonator Sends Fraudulent Letters, Disrupts Community
Posted by Chuong Nguyen
March 13th, 2009 at 02:53 PM
It turns out that there may be an impersonator lurking around disrupting Windows Mobile communities. In response to an article that was posted this morning about Microsoft demanding that Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM images that were cooked unofficially be taken down, our own Microsoft MVP Adam Z. Lein spotted that the guy responsible for the letter to XDA-Developers may be a fraud, as was posted on PPCGeeks.
A similar hoax had occurred before at msmobiles in regards to Windows Mobile 6.5 screenshots. In the cease and desist letter to msmobiles, the gentleman claiming to be with Microsoft's legal department asked the site to remove screenshots of the forthcoming operating system. The letter was sent after Microsoft had publicly announced and shown the very screenshots at Mobile World Congress 2009. According to msmobiles: "In any case, if it is genuine action on behalf of Microsoft, it is a case of extreme incompetence that this guy is showing because he is requesting removal of pictures of something that has been officially announced few days earlier." It should also be noted that pocketnow.com had posted screenshots and news of Windows Mobile 6.5 before, during, and after Microsoft's Mobile World Congress announcement and we did not receive a cease and desist letter.
The community over at msmobiles performed some additional investigations and found that the gentlemam, James Young, sent emails originating from IP addresses in London and not from Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington, leading many to believe that he is not connected with the software giant. Additionally, emails were sent from [email protected], and not at a "@microsoft.com" email address.
Whatever the case may be, other forum members in our original post here at pocketnow.com made mention that only the Windows Mobile 6.5 cooked ROM made by ROM chef Da_G was affected and 6.5 ROMs for other HTC-made devices were seemingly okay.

More info..
tsowen's
Admins: Just talked with Microsoft being my profession and this was not sitting good with me since it was missing A. a contact phone number and for these cases it must also contain a Digital Signature with that being said they said it is fraud, I gave them the link here and they verified that they do not have a James Young employ and that the email extension [email protected] is not valid furthermore they said on there notices they will also have a phone number for the person(s) to call and correspondence is done through written. I will be receiving an email with the case number and contact information for the antipiracy case manager who verified the information and will forward it to the Admins here and at PPCGeeks as well. If one one the Admins here can PM there email addy so I can send the email to them for future verification on these types of notices.

Un-delete the folder, capt!
Is there a back up of it?
I dumped the entire 4.5gig to a local drive here before I deleted it.
However here is why I am hesitant to put it back up. The email that I got came from 1and1 which hosts my server. 1and1 is taking this fairly seriously. Now it is entirely possible that this guy emailed 1and1 claiming to be from MS and got the warning sent out to me. I know the email from 1and1 was legit as it included my personal account number that is only on file with my account and not part of the registrar or whois info. I'm going to call 1and1 and speak to someone verbally on the phone regarding this. If its all green. I'll start uploading the data.
Capt I understand where you are coming from, the problem is going to be convincing them that this was faked, I suggest getting as much info you can find on this hoax and forwarding it to them, also the mods and admin are looking very closely at this whole thing....so keep an eye out for info from as well
Check out the link in my sig and also look at this site for more ammo
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7041
alot of damage has been done by hoaxer,
Noob here
What a load of BS! I've had my Hermes (Cingular 8525) for a while and was about ready to give it up for something new. Then a co-worker with a similiar phone directed me to this site and I new for sure I had to keep it. I had no idea about any of this until recently. I don't even know how many times I had to update my contacts and emails after I found this site There is so much info on this site, all you have to do is look or do a little search.
Now some [email protected]@$$ is trying to ruin it for a whole bunch of people. It's a shame, hope this doesn't affect the XDA world too much. I'm still trying new Rom's to see which one works for me. It's endless!
Hey Guys, I have some server space, I might be able to host it if you'd like? If you can setup a SFTP between my server and your server I might be able to have a mirror?
let me know
