Dear All,
My contract with O2 is due to end soon and was wondering what would be a suitabe upgrade. I am looking for a PDA that will have wifi and bluetooth (A2DP would be nice), phone and email capability and ideally GPS. Also I need it to run all the programs on my current XDA. Does Windows Mobile 5 run pocket PC 2003 programs??
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
S
some choices:
Mio a701
Mio a700
E-Ten G550 (or is it G500?)
Advance TC MAGIC
HP hw69xx series
XDAIIi upgrade
Thanks, which of those would you choose?
Personally, considering I'm a big-time hardcore gadgeteer, I would choose the Advance TC MAGIC. But then again, that's my choice. Yours might just be different.

Thank you in advance for any information.

It's not made for PPC, only SmartPhones
Perhaps you can try Minimo: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/dougt/archives/008595.html

And please provide the cab file you used to install.
This should in no way be possible as SmartPhone and PocketPc are two wery different platforms.
Mninimo don't run, searching for other solution...
Unfortunately, Mininmo doesn't run on PDA2K. Does anybody here don't interesting in working Opera on our devices?
opera for smartphone works on my xda2 with wm5.0 due to the fact that ms is joining requirements of wm for smartphones and wm for ppc's (in order to express it in very simple words). under wm5.0 smartphone and ppc edition all programs should work on both platforms. usually the installer of a program detects the os where it is installed and obviously the smartphone installer accepts wm5.0

peter
ps: btw, it does not only accept the installation, it even works perfectly (of course without touch screen support, because smartphones do not have one).
You're right. It doesn't work...
Hmmm....doesnt Nokia9500 run Opera?
Hi everyone,
I have just recently switched from Qtek 9100(identical to I-mate K-JAM, 02 mini S and MDA Vario) to Qtek 8310 (identical to I-mate SP5 and O2 Orion). None of the programs I used to work with can install on my new phone. I have heard that maybe you have to emulate touchscreen in order for them to work.
Can somebody help with thi problem?
Thank you
Smartphone OS lacks lots of functions/features that are present on a PocketPC. Not only the touchscreen is missing, search microsoft.com for the complete list of differences. Generally it is impossible to force any complex PocketPC app to work on smartphone. But the reverse process is not difficult - most of smartphone apps can be patched to run on a PocketPC.
recall something about wm2005 being able to run smartphone applications
not sure if wm2005 for smartP's can also do pda applications
there is also the issue of smartphones being much less powerfull then pda's to think about
Maybe there is an option, or.... ?
Thanks guys, as for the hardware specs of the phone they are the same as my previous PDA - CPU is TI OMAP 200Mhz, 64ROM, 128 RAM, I have also inserted 1GB mini SD card and the OS is Windows Mobile 5.0.
If anyone can help with this I am still hoping to find a solution
Hi everyone,
I wish to know if i can upgrade my XDA2S with pocketpc 2003 SE like OS to Windows mobile 5
Thanks a lot
Hi,
According Microsoft you cannot upgrade since devices that work on 2003 are not compatible with 5, see:

No, you cant upgrade your smartphone to windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc edition, or to windows mobile 6.0.
But you can install windows mobile pocket pc application on windows mobile smartphone edition.

Somebody give me link too..
Please guys give me some information or useful links about DESAY m9!
Don't ever ask again.
You know your device is strange, so nobody can help you.
If you insist to use WM instead of SP, go port the ROM yourself (and figure out how to flash the image yourself).
hello
starkwong what do you mean by sp?
thanks
