I have a new PDA2K from imate (also known as the XDAIIs MDA III, QTEK 9090 amongst others). On a recent trip to Toronto I could not resist picking up an HX4700 on my credit card.
I've been using both now for about 2 weeks, but I need to make a decision. My wife says one has to go on eBay. I agree I can't keep 2 devices on the go.
I'm looking for some thoughts from you Blue Angel users to help me make my decision.
a) HX4700 + Orange SPV C500
For: The gorgeous screen, wifi, bluetooth
Against: No phone functionality built in
b) Imate PDA2K
For: Phone functionality
Against: poorer screen, phone and bluetooth issues
I really like the idea of 1 device solution, but the beauty of both the HX4700 and the C500 phone are sawying me.
The Bluetooth issues are not a big factor in my decision as a ROM update shoul address them.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards,
Mike
The C500 is a Smartphone, why use a Smartphone with the 4700?
I've been looking around some forums and I came across that some people mensioned a new version of the BT stack version 3500 from I-mate. Is is supposedly from december 23rd. Does anyone know what is new, what the difference to the 3100 version or to the old 3500 version is? Can someone with a clubimate account downlaod and post the cab file?
for you
regards
it has not allowed me to go up it
Greetings
Can you just PM it then? although others would appreciate the upload, too
to see now
regards
I have finally appended the two patch that has launched imate
greetings
not enaugh
not enaugh to resolve the bad sound in headset. Already scrashessssss when you are more than 1 meter from the device
Has anyone heard anything from Imate on where the AKU 2.0/MSFP upgrades are for the Jasjar? I am hoping early next month for a new ROM upgrade.
seems that it is delayd because of the current lawsuits that is Microsoft into con Visto.
I don't think there are any delays with the AKU 2.0/MSFP. Visto just filed a lawsuit, that does not mean anything has to stop until a judgement is made, just like with RIM/Blackberry which likely years in courts before anything is done.
Gigabyte (a Taiwan based company) has just released the first Windows Mobile device with AKu 2.0 built in: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4701.html
I am hoping that IMate and Qtek are going to be quick to follow since Microsoft has stated that AKU 2.0/MSFP shipped to carriers and OEMs nearly 1.5 months ago.
What are the chances someone can get ahold of a device to check to see if there is a MSFP.cab or something in the extended_rom?
Been trying to get my hands on the MSFP for ages with absolutely no luck. Been pleading with various Microsofties and they all tow the company line.
Should have tried to join the beta programme at the beginning.
It'll be out in a few weeks though.... I suppose....!
All,
Just a quick note ... thought you'd be interested.
I contacted Dopod here in Australia, trying to find out when the official Australian D810 (with GPS) ROM would be available. I have also been requesting any details of whether or not Dopod would release WM6 for the D810.
The response on my query for the GPS ROM resulted in the following:
It looks like it is 4 weeks away.
We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810.

How's that for good news!!
yeah!!
what a great news!!! althought I don't have a D810...
Great news....
Any one else can ask Dopod for confirmation about the wm6???
I'm not Dopod costumer...
Thank's...
You got this information directly from Dopod? Hmmmm, for some reason I just don't believe you.
Super, thanks for the good news
It looks like it is 4 weeks away"
We will also bring WM6 with GPS in another 2-3 months time for the D810"
thats was official reply or chat ! ! !
WHOA!!!! GREAT NEWS if confirmed!!!!
cool great news we will be waiting
Sounds like a duck to me, not very plausible.
But then again if true, then very very cool!
awesome news if true
Importer for Spain and Portugal convinced HTC will officialy release WM6 for Trinity in few months. No data on timespan known at the moment. Same source says immediate release of WM5 GPS enabled ROM (next week).
This was already said. Hope true.
this is good news
What did I say in the donation thread? If we pay a bunch of money (and I did, don't get me wrong), an official release will happen.
You know if we hadn't, they wouldn't have bothered... :$
Hope its true!
But in Portugal the importer its NovaBase, and when the dopod gps version cames out, i've contacted NovaBase to know if HTC was going to release a gps rom, and the tell that it would be released during the February month!....
So, las week i've mailed them again and said that February has passed, and no rom released.... than I ask if they have a prevision to release that and ask too if they will release this quipment with wm6..... they answerd that gps will be released but no time prevision and tell that dont have plans to release wm6!
It is not worry, if dopod releases it! I am using the gps rom for dopod d810 in my p3600 and it is great!
Attachment:
Exmo. Sr. Não temos uma data certa para existir a actualização de ROM. Deverá consultar o site da HTC Europa (www.europe.htc.com). Não existem planos para haver um upgrade de sistema operativo Windows Mobile 6. Cumprimentos, Equipa do Mobility Support

Hope dopod releases it! (as soooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn as possible!)
Suspicious bunch arent you?
To put further context around the information I received:
The reply was from Dopod Support
I have been communicating with Dopod Support on a range of queries. In Australia, they were going to release an RSS Reader (which they haven't yet, but I was lucky enough to get a Test Version - it is just rebranding an existing RSS Reader available), and while I was asking I queried about:
GPS Australian ROM
Official RSS Reader Release
Availaibility of the Blackberry Client in Australia (which they have made available in other markets)
Whether or not WM6 would be made available, even for a small fee
I have now got confirmation from Dopod that the official Australian GPS ROM will be available in around 4 weeks
No confirmation as to the final release of the RSS Reader
No confirmation when the Blackberry Client will be available in the Australian market
Confirmation that Dopod will release WM6 for the D810 (Trinity) in 2 to 3 months
From my discussions with Dopod, it appeared that with there discussions with M$, M$ was apparently going to offer an upgrade installer for WM5 devices. My guess is that they have not provided it as Dopod wanted to provide WM6 via this channel, but as it is no longer happening I see this as the catalyst for providing it.
Take from this what you will, but I am very excited about this news from Dopod.
Nice!!!!
So..... lets wait!
It was nice too if HTC makes da same, But if doesn't make, we have de dopod rom!
Tks!
basically
dopod = HTC, cuz HTC bought dopod already.

Man thank you for this news, it seems that P3600 will be in my posession more than I previously thought an year for sure but as you may see there was MANY speculations about release versions of GPS and WM6 ROM's and none of them happens to be true, at least not for HTC branded devices and it is 6 (six!) months since original HTC ROM present in my P3600
BTW, I see you have some F1 action in couple of hours in your town, man I would give my Trinity to be there now
That's wonderful news assuming it's true.
However, I guess I'm going to be switching to the upcoming E-Ten X800 since it comes with WM6, VGA and (presumably a better than Qualcomm) GPS unit at launch.

Hey that x800 phone looks pretty cool.
I think you've convinced me to switch to that phone when it's released...

So who received these car mounts for a review? Someone can put a review online with pictures? Cause on the site of the vendor, I only see a small picture of the mount with the device in it. I would love to see pics from this with device, and also hear from other users what they think of this car mount. Cause I'm looking for a car mount for the Orbit. And right now, I'm thinking to get myself a Brodit mount, except someone can tell me this new one is better...
Many thanks
