XDA or HP 928?

I'm going to buy a pda phone, but I have not yet dediced between the XDA and the HP Jornada 928.
What do you suggest me?
I live in Italy and both phones are not sold here, so I have to buy it by Internet (expansys or ebay, etc...) SIM unlocked or SIM locked. If SIM locked I'll then have to unlock it for my dual band Italy operator (WIND).
For example, can I buy a O2 XDA in Germany and then unlock it and upgrade it to english language (or, in the future, in Italian)?
Many PDA (without phone) have pocket pc Italian OS. Why is not possible to upgrade a XDA to that OS?
I have downloaded from Microsoft the suite to build windows CE. NET platforms, including phone capabilities. Is it possible to create my own platform and download it in the XDA?
Thanks to everyone.

HP Jornada 928?????
HP Jornada 928 :shock: ? Wasn't the HP Jornada 928 discontinued? Where can you still buy a HP Jornada 928?

I can't get a 928 to use in the US, but from everything I have seen that is the far better device of the two. I had a 568 which was the best PPC I've ever used. The 928 is pretty much a 568 with a phone added.

on ebay
you can find it on ebay. They are still selling it.
Any idea about the dutch XDA and the other questions I posted?
Do you know anything about a "manipulator" for the hp 928?

anon
xda - it has it's niggles, but at least it flippin' works!
The end user support from O2 ain't all that bad, either. Yes yes yes, I know what you're thinking, but actually they're pretty darn good.

pratically!
Yes, but have somebody here tried the hp 928? Have somebody tried to unlock it or to upgrade it?
And again, is it simple (or at least possible) to upgrade to an english language a O2 XDA bought from Germany?

Language can be changed...
I have never heard of 928 (?), maybe they never sold it here, but I would choose XDA definitely... What if you break your display? What if something corrodes? Something breaks? Nobody will be able to repair it, no warranties, no spare parts

sim free vs. unlocked xda ii

hi,
im new here and don't own an xda ii yet. a friend of mine will purchase one for me from O2 UK and have it unlocked so that i can use it at home (philippines). the question is - will there be any problems with this in terms of OS/ROM, software or usage.
what will be the advantages if i'll purchase one which is sim-free - say from singapore.
thanks

No, there will be no problem at all with upgrades.
Just buy the cheapest you can find.
All the other info you need to unlock, do ROM upgrades etc, you can find on this forum.
Grtz,
Jos

thanks jos.
i guess i'll post some more questions once i got the unit.
Thanks

My Wizard is for sale

Hi
yes, my Wizard (T-Mobile Vario) is for sale on ebay. Unlocked and upgraded to WM6, it is in excellent condition - great pda phone.
If you don't want to splash out on a WM6 device (Touch / TyTN II), this could be the answer: a great price and all WM6 features..!
check it out here on ebay

Um...congrats? Wrong forum

wrong forum... why?

This is the WM6 section, a mod can probaly move it to the regular Wizard or the general section.

Moving to wizard general.

thanks, and sorry.

About to buy a Dopod D810

G'Day fellas,
I'm about to buy a Dopod D810 over ebay(never owned a PDA phone in my life, total noob). The unit that I'm about to purchase is locked to Vodafone.
First question, is the HTC p3600i much better/faster than the D810 in terms of performance and multitasking? I know they both use the same processors with different clocks and that the p3600i has double the ROM...any other differences?
Now, I know there is an unlocker for the D810 on here but just to confirm, it can be unlocked from the vodafone network, right?
Also, once I unlock it using pof's unlock tool, I heard I have to upgrade the radio ROM in order for the GPS to work? Any guide to how to upgrade the radio ROM?
I intend on upgrading the dopod to akeo's WM6.1 ROM....is this rom any good? Any precautions I should take?
I think that's it for now...
Cheers fellas,
NM
ps. Am I buying a good phone or should I fork out more money for the TyTn II?? I'm really fussy with lag and generally slow menus, I don't require that much multitasking...
