What is the difference between the XDA II and the i-mate ?

I have an XDA and was looking at purchasing the new model XDA II or i-mate.
Does anybody know if there is any difference between the two ?

not hardwarewise

So does that mean that there is a difference in the software ?

yeah xda2 is the name of the Himalaya device sold by the phonecompany o2 so the rom include special o2 software and preset o2 settings most likely

Xda III ?

Is there any news whether Xda III has been released on the market ? 'coz as i know, it would be released this month.
Need suggestion here...should i change my Xda II to Xda III ? Although there are not many differences, but additional QWERTY keypad and built-in WiFi might be considered. Or...should i wait for Xda IV which rumours say will be released on the first half of 2005 ? Suggestions would be very appreciated

If you need WIFI, change it.
If you need keyboard, change it.
If you don't need them, why waste the money for a device has the same fuction?
BTW, the new Black XDAIIs looks cool , maybe it's the point to change my XDAII -> XDAIIs.

Was just thinking the same thing...plus if u sell your II then it'll cost less to get a IIs and when you come to sell the IIs (eventually) you'll have a newer unit to play with to upgrade to the theoretical IV!

Is XDA IIs the same with XDA III ?? How about XDA IIi ?? I seem lost with these two.

there is no device called xdaIII
the xdaIIi is what is also called mda3
xda1 mda1, qtek1010.... are Wallaby devices
xda2, mda2 qtek2020.... are Himalaya devices
xdaIIi, mda3 and ,...... are blue angel devices
all made by htc and oem'd by different other companies calling them what ever they feel like

O2 announces two new xda devices!
Check this out!
The official announcement of O2!
They also claim to release a new model at the start of 2005 called xda IIi that would have :
- 520MHz Intel PXA270 processor
- 1.3 megapixel camera
That's sounds interesting .Maybe i will upgrade my new xda2 (just bought 2 weeks ago) when they release that one....

Qtek s110 or MDA compact

I coming neer to renewing my subscribtion and whas looking for a new phone.
The MDA compact looked real nice, but now that the qtek s110 is almost here.
This does not make the chioce that easy as the s110 is 155 euro and the MDA compact is for free.
Also the MDA compact comes with 256MB sd card, but it is white en the s110 just looks beter :wink: .
Also I have read that the MDA has a dutch t9, which I can probably download of the ftp.xda-developers.com :lol:.
But which one, does the 128MB realy make life easyer ?
Can you give me some pointer on which one to get.

sold my S100 last week for a S110, see no difference
So no need to worried and spend more money. Same things juste nicer color and bigger memory 128MB instead of 64MB
:twisted:

TUX2K - someone's already posted exactly the same topic elsewhere, which has been responded to... S110 if you can afford it.

The MDA Compact isn't white but silver.
The T9 is not really needed, but another fact is that the MDA Compact hasnt got it.
The extra memory is ok, but I wouldn't pay so much for just that.

Well, if I buy the MDA t-mobile will pay for it. Of course when I buy the Qtek s110, which also has 24 month garanty, I will not get the T-mobile discount.
So the S110 seems like a smart choice, longer support (which I can also get for the MDA at 160 euro), more main memory.
I owned a XDA, which was always runnig out of memory, so that why I asked if the 128MB makes that much af a diverance.
Also Qtek does release update for it's devices, which T-Moblie does not

New trinity with 500MHz?

Not sure if this is true but i have read it on an aussie board where apparently someone has spoken to Dopod Australia (also read it somewhere else too):
"I have confirmed with Dopod Australia that they are in the testing phase of the new Dopod D810x which will have a 500Mhz processor and increased RAM. They are looking at releasing the unit in a couple of months time."
Strange they would be doing this, why not go to a whole new model?
can anyone confirm this?
I still wont swap mine until i can get one with an fm radio...... unless i can suck someone into buying this one for the same price i can get the new one for!! haha

Confirmed
Dopod D810X (Dopod D810 eXtreme)
CPU Samsung 500 MHz , Rom 256 MB , Ram 64 MB , GPS Qualcomm , WM6 Pro
(Launch by Dopod Asia in this June)

Is this the Kaiser, maybe?

If this is true then it explains why Dopod doesn't want to release a WM6 upgrade for the D810 until after the new D810X model is released.

T-Mobile MDA Compact III into an XDA Orbit 1 Case, possible?

Hi all,
According to what I have understood, P3300 hardware is almost the same,
the only difference between O2 XDA Orbit and T-Mobile MDA COMPACT III is that T-Mobile Version have the WI-Fi disabled.
Does this mean that if I buy a new O2 XDA ORBIT cover for a T-Mobile, this will fit it?
Did anyone experimented that before?

...
simple answer.. yes!
you may need 2 extra screws for it though..
i cant remember whether its the o2 or tmobile cover that has the extra 2 screws..

thank you!
I'll have a try with a new orbit case..
