I spent ages trying to upgrade my Alpine with an Andes/Himalaya ROM before I realised I had an Alpine!
It was a new phone and on the main XDA forum page it lists the XDA IIi as both:
Himalaya & Andes (6 Viewing)
The Himalaya phone is sold as XDA II, MDA II, Qtek 2020 and many other names. The Andes is the updated version that has a 1.3 megapixel camera, sold (among other names) as the XDA IIi.
and
Alpine (2 Viewing)
The Alpine is sold as XDA IIi, Qtek 2020i, PDA2 and many other names.
I tried google searching but found no answer... feel free to shoot me down if the answer is out there somewhere!
Two ways to check:
1 - does it have WiFi - if YES its an Alpine
2 - from device info - identity what does it say:
PH10A, PH10B - Himalaya
PH10C - Alpine
Thanks DeeDee
It has Wifi so it must be an Alpine... shame it can't be updated to WM 6.1!
But I also have just got hold of an XDA II which is a Himalaya for sure and have updated that to WM 6.1 - didn't notice the lack of WiFi though - can't have looked for it yet!
tak!

I am confused.
O2 XDA IIi is Andes or Alpine?
From this forum "The Andes is the updated version [of Himalaya] that has a 1.3 megapixel camera, sold (among other names) as the XDA IIi."
And rom Wiki "HTC devices: ... # Alpine xda-IIi / QTEK 2020i / dopod 699"
And here is nothing abount Andes.
Can some one clear it up?
as far as i know it's the same thing
not sure why there are two names
Hi,
1. Just received an O2 XDA II, however:
a) "XDA II" is what is printed on the phone (Silver) case but when I
turned it on "XDA IIs" is shows up during the phone start up.
For info,
O/S is WinMobile 2003 2nd Ed., Ver. 4.21.1088.
Processor is Intel PXA263
ROM Version / Date is 2.06.00WWE / 06-14-04
Radio Version: 1.18.00
So what does this make my phone, an XDA II or XDA IIs?
b) In the [Programs] menu window, there is a folder:
"Communications/WiFi Tools/WLAN Tools (Mobile Edition)"
The WLAN program is from "www.socketcom.com" - (Utility Version
2.0 and a Build Date of Jan 20, 2005)
Does this mean I can WIFi? And do I still need to get a WiFi Card or
the phone itself is already WiFi capable?
2. I also have an O2 XDA II Mini which I have been using for the past year. So far I have already sync the "Contacts" and the other files from my Mini to the XDA II.
However, is there a way to copy/sync its "Messages" folders to my O2 XDA II? I have saved a lot of important texts and made numerous subfolders, and thus really need to duplicate the existing format to my other unit. So far using Active Sync and Microsoft Outlook has not worked for me.
Appreciate any advise you can give.
Thanks, Pogi
Does it have a slide out keyboard at the bottom ?
the XDA IIs is supposed to !
Nope. The unit itself is XDA II. However, when I trun on the phone, the start up displays "XDA IIs". Plus there is a WLAN program (XDA II does not usually have this). Tx

The XDA 2i looks like and XDA 2 and has built-in WiFi. Does yours actually have WiFi, or just a program (which doesn't actually do anything)?
Mine has the WLAN program and just needs a Wi-Fi Card to run.
Thanks
Pare, what you have over there is an XDAII but with software upgraded to WM2003 Second Edition giving it the same software as the XDAIIs so the only difference that I know of between the XDAII (upgraded) and the XDAIIs is the keyboard (XDAIIs has a builtin one), WLAN (XDAIIs has it builtin) and the larger memory and faster chip on the XDAIIs.

Maraming salamat for the info. So does this mean ... all I need is to buy a Wi-Fi card? What brand to you suggest besides Sundisk?

Also, is there a way I can copy the messages (especially those in my folders) from my XDA II Mini to my XDA II?
Thanks again, pre
to be honest, I haven't really tried the wifi on the XDAII at all though the specs on the official website says it'll work.
Ok, thanks again sa tulong

Hi all,
Been searching the site for the last 30mins to o avail.
I have an XDAIIi
How can I tell if its an Alpine or an Andes?
The Forum index says they are both sold as an XDAIIi.
If it is an Andes will the Himilaya version of WM5 work on it?
Thanks
Wavey
XDA IIi is HTC Alpine device.
Hi Y´all!
As I understand it the HTC Wizard came in two different forms; Wizard & Prodigy (or Wizard 100 and Wizard 110 as I´ve read they are sometimes called), with the groups being as follows:
Wizard:
i-Mate K-Jam
O2 XDA Mini
Orange SPV M3000
Qtek 9100
T-Mobile MDA Vario
Prodigy:
Dopod 838
Cingular 8125
Vodafone VPA Compact II
What is really the difference between the two of these groups (besides the slight difference in shape), are there any at all?

As far as I can see, they are actually the same (including the shape). HTC Prodigy was the original Code Name which was then changed to Wizard on its release (like Hermes is TyTn). Certain vendors may have the case recoloured (QTek) or have it slightly changed (O2 has the O2 logo embossed on it), but they are essentially the same.
ok so I accidentily mixed up the names of the two groups, according to geekzone (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/smartdevices.asp?phonemodelid=17 && http://www.geekzone.co.nz/smartdevices.asp?phonemodelid=156) the prodigy are the five devices in the top list and the wizard are the other three.
Plus they do look a bit different as seen in these pics:
cingular 8125:

qtek 9100:

The thing is that we develop an application running on these devices and now my development crew tell me that our application is handled differently by these two groups...

From what I have read, the K-Jam and the XDA Mini S ARE both Wizards. Of this I am fairly certain. (They look like the one you posted from joncollins.net)
The HTC Prodigy in most pictures looks like the Wizard and in the Specs sounds like the wizard. In one set (on www.phones2udirect.co.uk) it says the Wizard has Windows PPC 2005 while the Prodigy has WM5 (and I know my "Wizard" has WM5).
The images of those with a different case seem to be few and far between (inlcuding the ones on the geekzone.co.nz pages you posted which have a different shell, but otherwise the specs are the same). Try Google images for more, but they all seem to look like my phone (XDA Mini S) too.
I'd recommend getting it to work on a standard Wizard (which seems the most prevalent design) and if someone can say that there is a problem with Phone X, get one in as there seems to be confusion over which is which (and there is also the HTC Prophet, just to try and confuse people more....).
{Edit} Maybe this will help -
European products - http://www.europe.htc.com/products/
Japanes product - http://www.japan.htc.com/product.htm
American Products - http://www.america.htc.com/products/default.html
The american one seems to have the phone you are on about and the T-Mobile MDA then everything else below that is something else I have not seen before.... but they are actually a different machine.{/edit}
thanks for the answer, very descriptive
Hi i'm new to this post so sorry if i ask a question wich was answered often. (yes i allready used the search engine) I'm also not an naturally english speaker (i'mgerman) so also sorry for my bad english.........
so after all these my question
i have several spare parts for an mda2 laying around here. And i now found a really good looking XDA 2i on ebay with a broken display. Does anybody know if the mda 2 and the xda2i have the same display connector.So i could take my tft from a mda2 and replace the broken one on the xda2i .i think i heard something that some types of this Pda have different ones. But i was not sure if it concerns the xda 2i.
thx for answering
hi, take care with that
sorry , but the XDA IIi connector is different from the mda 2
compatibility is : qtek 2020/ o2 xda II / Tmobile MDA II/HTC himalaya/orange spv m1000
Qtek 2020i / Dopod 699 / O2 Xda IIi / i-mate PDA2 / Orange SPV M1500 / Orange SPV M2500/HTC ALPiNE or Andes
take care. i may have a screen for sale, i m french, mail me on [email protected]
So display from Qtek 2020 and the o2 xdaII have the same display connector ?
Recently my QTek 2020 connector broke, and I bought a T-Mobile MDA II , but the motherboard and the screens where different
