Hello,
I am trying to decide what model to buy again, I used to have a PDA2K and ended up getting rid of it due to a bunch of Bluetooth issues, like crashing when trying to answer a call via the headset.
So I am giving my Treo 650 to my fiancée' and going back to the Pocket PC platform, I miss all the capabilities that I don't have with the Treo.
So, are most of the stability issues fixed with either the PDA2K and the O2 XDA IIs?
I really prefer the Black O2, but I want a stable platform, have there been any hardware revisions? will one be better than the other?
Thanks

Hi All
I've been looking at getting a Qtek 9090 for a while now and I have seen lots of postings talking about the t-mobile mda iii supporting blackberry etc and maybe the odd posting where someone in the UK has got a xda2s or 9090 to do it using a particular rom.
Can anyone say that they have witnessed a 9090 with ANY rom on it that supports blackberry in the UK with Vodafone?
I'm really keen to get this going as it should be my ultimate device!
Thanks
Will.
Blackberry support has to be implemented at the provider end, as well as with the client software. Does Vodafone have Blackberrys?

Vodafone UK supports both Blackberry Internet Service (formerly Blackberry Web Client) and Blackberry Entreprise Server.
For BIS pricing Check Vodafone Blackberry Price Plan
As for the Blue Angel software, T-Mobile's Germany ROM supports the Blackberry Connect. Confirmation can be found here.
For a list of supported devices check Blackberry Connect. Scroll down to the paragraph that says Available Operating Systems and Devices.
Hope this helps.
I'm using Blackberry from T-Mobile UK. Using the ROM supplied by T-Mo UK Customer Services. It only works with their radio ROM, which means no radio upgrades possible. Push emails are great, but this version doesn't seem to be able to handle attachments (larger than a few kb).
Ok, thats all fine - we already have a vodafone BES server etc using standard blackberry handhelds and also nokia 6810 mobiles.
The real question though is - although t-mobile have got the MDA iii working with blackberry abroad (and with their radio rom) - is it possible to install their radio/roms etc onto the 9090 successfully?
I need to get the device (whatever I get) sim-free, and I am having trouble finding an mda iii sim-free in the uk...
Thanks
Will.
The T-Mobile ROM is available on this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The BlueAngel is available SIM free from eXpansys.com and I got mine considerably cheaper from justtelecoms.com and it comes with the BB ROM already installed.
JT also do it on 1 year and 2 year contracts
Ok, thanks for that.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=QTEK_9090 is what I've been looking at getting
Can I presume that it is perfectly possible to install the t-mobile roms onto a qtek 9090 and then unlock to any network (as I'd need to use my voda sim)
Thanks
Will.
I beleive the Q9090 from expansys is already unlocked and yes, you can install any rom.
The JustTelecomms option comes with the correct rom already installed and they will sell it sim free for £330 and unlock it for only £15 or you can use the free unlock tool available here on xda-developers.
Can we all assume it will work? Yes.
Can we guarantee it will work? No.
I have bought the XDA IIs on this assumption. Due to lack of time the device is still in its box.
In the meantime I am still using my Blackberry 7230 but soon I will get my hands dirty and start playing with the XDA. If you're willing to wait a week or two then I'll let you know of the results.
I called justmobile and they don't take credit cards!!
Any other suggestions?
Having owned an XDA2s in the early days I couldn't get rid of it quick enough. Reasonable PDA but unusable as a phone. My current need was for a PDA to run Tom Tom SatNav & collect e-mail via GPRS (no other phone functions). I had an old Orange SIM lying around so I've bought an M2000.
The XDA2s was slated for it's O2 software & the recommendation was to hard reset & perform a corporate install. Does the same hold true for the current M2000 (1.40 ROM) or have Orange done a beter job?
Nobody got an opinion on this?
Just installed TTN5.2 & it's running like a dog. Same version flies on my iPaq 4150 with the same same SD card/maps. Seems to really struggle starting & stopping bluetooth.
Hi guys, great forum. I have a v1605 on contract with Vodafone UK and I am told that it belongs to Hermes / TyTn family from HTC.
I wanted to know if there was a WM6 upgrade for this model as the guys at HTC Europe were not ready to talk about any network centric phones though their own upgrade is coming around end-July.
Actually I wanted to upgrade my handset to the successor of TyTn which I believe is Kaiser, but nobody at Vodafone is ready to talk about it.
Any help in this area will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi by any chance did you manage to local and install WM6 on your V1605 as I'm trying to find a ROM upgrade of WM6 but no luck. Can any help me with this...?
I just bought a refurb'd, locked 8525 today via the world's largest garage sale...eBay. After rightfully flashing my faithful MDA countless times I'm curious to know if my new 8525 can use the same ROMs as my MDA. I've been using several iterations of mfrazzz's WM6; most recently version 5.
I would think fundamentally given the specs, it would be safe. Does anyone have an expert opinion?
no, your MDA device is different than a 8525. It is also known as a hermes 8525 or Tytn. But you do have any option of installing wm5 rom or wm6 rom.
