i have been using Xda IIi for a long time now, its exelant. i have been offered Jasjar known as XDA Exec, OR universal for a bout 500 us dollars. my question is: what can i do with it that i cant do in xdaIIi hence in my country 3G is not supported yet. so ist worth to buy. many thanks

and a vga screen
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Specs
and it does work on old 2g gsm networks too
but it's kinda huge
If you use keyboard a lot, get jasjar(or alike), otherwise get htc P6300(as you seem to like big screen devices(like me))

Hi All
A week back I sold of my XDA IIs and bought a XDA II i and honestly I am very happy with the purchase.
I was feeling bad of letting my Black Beauty go but if I look at it now I think it was a good decision.
I no more face BT connectivity issues.
A faster processor.
Stronger and bettwe WIFI.
No more a loose keyboard .
Things I miss.
The black color
The 4 star .....
I posetd close to 50 messages in 2 months and now I dont have even one to post for XDA 2i .
FOr all those who are not happy and feel they have spent 400 Pounds on something that doesnt work as promised..take my advise by a XDA II i .
I am not promoting XDA IIi and I am not getting any commision , I am just happy with the phone thats why I am posting my thougts.
C U in the Alpine World.
Regards
Dhruv
Well, we don't like devices that don't have WM5 :>
I have been looking at PDA/Phones and decided on the XDAIIs. I had previously seen it on the O2 web site but when I checked yesterday it has all the adds and specs but when you go to buy online it says" Sorry, this handset is no longer available; You may wish to make a selection from our current range, displayed below" Does anyone know if it has been discontied or if there is a new model in the pipline.
Well, you can still get it from other people! iMate, (expansys.com), etc.

Hi,
I work for a communications company and we've just sold 10 of these to a company, all on O2.
Any probs, let me know.
CHeers,
Bret
i work for o2 and they had to discon it due to system problems
if you want anything get the i or the exec both well better than the s
Thats interesting to know. We are an O2 dealer so shouldn't someone have told us before we bought 12 of them?
How long ago was it discontinued???
Not amused about that at all.

Can you name the exact problems?

Bluetooth is one! Terrible BT hardware. Half a meter away and the cracks make the headset unusable. 22003SE and BT patches / WM5 just equally crappy :evil:
Just waiting for the Atom/Athena :roll:
In the meantime, my 2020 with 2003SE / automated Sin Merge is the best combo I tried. Thinking about moving to WM5 but the issues I had on my BA with ActiveSync/Outlook/Exchange server are making me think twice...
BTW, any news on FCS for Athena?

It's about effing time!! The Blueangel was not ready for sale. Not everyone knows how to hack a ROM and most business users need it to work out of the box which it defo didn't.
I know the problem: 02 didn't release the 1.40 ROM.
AND as I mentioned in another thread I have just broken my handsfree socket by mistake. I could fix it but I don't wanna take it apart and ruin the warranty.
I also don't wanna pay to have it fixed as I don't have ANY money. The down key is getting dodgy as well. I think I will go for a new one on insurance. Do you think they will gimme an Exec no that the 2s has been discontinued?
I only got the 2s as an insurance job for the XDA2 about 5 months ago. Do you think that they will be funny about it in the shop or will they not bother?
the s.... is crap
Hi guys, i have 2 Blueangels, in fact orange M2000's.
Both work but the first one doesnt get a signal in the UK as it was blocked when i lost it.
The second one was the insurance replacement.
Both are good condition, by memory the newer one probly has WM6 or something installed on it, i think the older one has 2003 still. Cant remember. I can check.
I have 1 cradle between them, and 3 batteries.
I always planned on just holding on to them, but i never use them. I just cant find the time to keep up with all the individual forums for all my phones. I also have the following phones that i dont really use if anyone is interested
2 Blueangels (obviously)
1 Universal
2 Tytn
1 Trinity
1 Treo 750
1 Kaiser
1 I780
I am open to offers on all of these but the more recent ones i might not sell. Anyone wants any give me a shout.
Cheers
Rob
I'm from VietNam, How to buy ?
I will take in the usa. how much for shipping and phone ? are they unlocked? ill give 300
please email me at [email protected] if intrested.
Hi guys, thanks for the replies. The I780 and the Kaiser i may be holding on to for a bit. The others i will sell if people want them for the right money.
I would also prefer to sell the phones individually as well, sorry should have made that more clear. The blueangels could go together though as i only have one charger and such like.
Shipping abroad, hmm, that is a good question. I must confess i hadnt really thought this through. I could ship abroad but i would have thought by the time the shipping was added on then it might not be worth it.
Anyone want any of these as individual items ? especially the Blueangels, i may put some posts in the other device forums about the others as well.
I will look into shipping costs.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-Dash-3G
the only thing is it comes stock with wm 6.1 and we're on here with wm 6.5 already
yessssssssssss!
personally i think thats an awful price to launch at.
i mean look at the iphone 3g, i think its price right now is 99 with 2 years..
dont get me wrong im proqabably going to get the dash3g anyways but the price just sucks.
im just waiting till i actually have 3g at home which isnt looking good at the moment
Got mine yesterday
I finally got my snap yesterday (HTC branded) and yes it is shipping with 6.1 if one is interrested I can probably dump the language files and we could add those languages to the 6.1 ROM for the dash ??
Cheers
Stef
Got mine today... Do we have any idea how to make the up/down buttons on the side actually scroll as opposed to just controlling system volume?
would it be possible to dump the 3G junk from the new Excalibur and build it into the old Excalibur? cause that would be sweet.

The Dash1 is not 3g compatable if thats what your suggesting. You just have to upgrade to the snap!

That's hardware, not firmware xD
I thought Dash 3G is the Maple (HTC Snap) ? not Excalibur, if it is, why discuss in here ?

Because a lot of Dash (excal) users want it, so its a good place to post updates since the Maple forum here on xda deals with the UK version not the T-Mobile version, which will change as more people get the T-Mo version.

snap(usa) is a different version phone it looks like the excalbur but when you look at it the excalibur has the ball to scroll as the snap(usa) has the d pad, the snap(usa) in comparison to the dash is smaller and is the keypad is kind of close to each other. the buttons on the snap(usa) is blue to which as the button on the excalibur is red. the snap(usa) has a button on it to open inner circle the excalibur doesnt come with inner circle the snap is from a differnent wireles company i think at&t i cant remember but the excalibur is for tmobile so in a way they are kind of the same but they are on different cell phone companies....with that being said it still comes with the same wm6.1 on both phones but i think in europe and asia it has the rolling ball as the scroller so that what makes them very similar but in the us its going to be different from each other
How could I make my phone like that.
5 hours talk time, 9 days stand by.
Is it Wi-Fi Certified ?
Doesn't look like it has GPS? My work just got me this cheap sanyo phone for 50 bucks and it has gps on it, and now I don't think I'd ever by a phone without it.
Dash 3g does have GPS
Hey guys,
Anyone have this device? Can a subforum be opened?
It's excellent - I just got it and there's a lot of work to do
I added info at the XDA Wiki...

it has been out for a loooong time, there is another device similar to the Beam was on July, the other one was on March
both are for Europe market
they don't seem to be very popular
they are from the 8000 family, although the spec are very close to the Galaxy S 9000 family

Few weeks back I came across a review of this phone on youtube. Even though it was announced early this year (and GSM arena says its already available), I didn't find any information indicating that this phone is actually available on the market. I was looking for it's price.

good idea
Just bought mine a week ago from StarHub (the official retailer for galaxy beam).
I second the subforum idea. How about starting a google group as well since the community is so small.
For those who wish to purchase the phone:
You need to place a reservation at StarHub Center before making the purchase. It takes about a week before your phone is ready for collection.
I was lucky enough to get it immediately because someone cancelled his reservation.
waiting for mine, deseperatly ....
i'll check with Admins and Sr Mods to see if they want to create a new forum for it
That's great! Thanks man.
nocomp: you may try bugging their hq at cuppage road. They might just have an extra handset lying around like mine. Haha
i ve bought it from a local shop in singapore, they were agree to send it to me to france.
still waiting for the delivery...... the singapore post tracking service, isn t much alive since 2 days......
i guess that ll be a change from my nexus, what i am pissed of, is that you can t use an app that use camera and projector in the same time
it seems that what has to be done, (part of find a way to upgrade it to froyo):
get gps working when projector is on
get projector working when camera is on
can you tell me if the galaxy beam has also the tv out like galaxy s?
best regards
herve
I have some bad news for you. Samsung has officially stopped software support for that device last month and said there's no plans for official froyo for it as there's just not enough beams out there to warrent the support as it was only sold in Singapore and very small numbers. They now have all development on tablet and galaxy s models. Google for more info. I read that last month someplace

hi
thxx a lot, that news has been goin on here and there fr a while, surely some ppl can adapt 2.2 to the beam model.
i finally received mine )))
bad news, impossible to install an application from android market :'(
never happend before with the nexus, i get the message "unable to download" either i am in wifi or 3g
any idea why?
herve
Hmm never had a problem with market. Have you tried replacing the stock market app with a generic one from ipmart? Perhaps it's locked down to Singapore or something.
Topic moved to General until and if a new proper forum comes into place for this device.
hi,
well i ve took sim card off n sdcard off, and then it was working over wifi.
put the simcard back again and market was working.
no idea wtf happend.
hi,
how can i know what software update is current?
my version is 2.1 update 1
I8520DXJ11
kernel 2.6.29-zeus1
can t find in the setting menu the update section
thx for your help
btw i ve found this, anybody tried it?
http://shomblingteam.blogspot.com/2010/08/samsung-i8520-galaxy-beam.html
My phone is running the same firmware version as yours. It's released on 1 Sept which is more recent than the July version on that blog.
hi,
thx for the news, so if there is an update it ll appear in the "about" section right?
do you know any trick/tweak for allow to run gps when using projector?
herve
Probably, but I doubt there will be any more updates since the beam is not getting froyo. Hopefully I'm wrong...
I'm not aware of any tricks but if you have the time and expertise try editing the source code? Haha I'm no expert either.
