qtek 9600

Looks sweet to me =)
http://mobilforum.se/articles/20060218/1995.html
the news are in swedish but you can figure out the specs from reading the text...
I like the Samsung S3C2442 300 MHz part and 2,1 megapixels =)

It's really quite scary how fast these things are being pumped out... I honestly fear that official support for a device bought a mere 6 months ago will be non-existant. Oh wait, I suppose we don't get much in the way of official support -now-, huh? :>
Anyway.. looks like a nice device - I still love the button layout and design of the 9100.. looks like they fell back to their 'old' design for this one. Still no ctrl/alt on the slide-out keyboard, that's kinda silly.
I hope Qtek fixed the typo on the front camera, though :> ( Note: it reads "Vedio" in the official HTC Hermes press images. oops. )

Can anybody tell me the performance differences between SAMSUNG and INTEL CPU?

Looks good apart from inclusion of MICROSD slot. Why oh why another format - just invested in 2GB minisd. Please HTC change your mind then i will be interested otherwise stick with my wizard.
I know the above referred article says minisd but most of the other articles on the hermes say microsd - see coolsmartphone
and engadget

MicroSD because it's even smaller - means they have more space for other hardware / they can make the device smaller. Not that they have to be particularly smaller for me.. a bit thinner would be nice

Seem's like they have putted on a jogDial(SE P910) on the side instad of volume control Very very nice!!
The new design was however a bit boring.
Jack

I am excited to see how this device performs, may even have to pick one up if I have the extra cash. I also just read that on the horizon is the HTC Herald which has a similar form factor as the Wizard but at 18mm thick it is 21% slimmer. Can't wait to see the stats on that one....maybe a microminiSD.

More pics of the hermes!
:lol: 8)

More extensive review of the hermes here - looks good. Will be the wizard replacement i think. I want one!
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5011.html

Supposedly the UMTS is not compatible with US 3G networks.
Next.

A comparison of the wizard and hermes here.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/03/11/live-from-cebit-htc-wizard-vs-htc-hermes/
Note the hermes does not have stereo speakers like the wizard and the hermes has the microsd slot which currently microsd cards have a max capacity of 512 mb. Most of the new
models by htc have microsd slots - this is worrying concerning future upgrades with low capacity memory capability.
Long live the wizard! :wink:

A new review of the probable successor/upgrade to the wizard here - htc hermes (sorry its in french)
http://www.mobinaute.com/mobinaute/article.php?id=20060317145418
Looks like final version may have samsung or intel 400mhz processor - looks promising

microSD and UMTS that isn't supported in the US, i'll pass

Maybe darkjedi will prefer the HTC trinity - seems your style rather cool and dark
HTC Trinity is following the idea of a non-keyboard HTC Magician, it will have Intel processor and support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A-GPS and HSDPA standard

but does it support US UMTS?

Question is will this replace the wizard? Or I had heard rumors of another replacement - keep you posted.

I don't know, I might skip this round and wait on some more detials about the Herald which is supposed to be thinner than the Wizard or Hermes and same slide out keyboard.
A

Cingular's plans are to skip UMTS and roll out HSPDA. I believe the Hermes supports this as well.

thats hsdpa :lol:

though meschle's device is overclocked, so he does have a HSPDA

Performance gains with TyTn

The HTC TyTn (Orange M3100) will have a 400 Mhz processor. Does this mean that the whole system will operate considerably faster than the Wizard / Prophet, or is the 200 Mhz leap not as massive as it appears (different processor manufacturers)?
I love my Wizard, but it is quite sluggish sometimes and that really is my only criticism. (When sliding the keyboard, the rotating of the screen is really lethargic.)
Cheers

It all depends. I'm not sure on the processor in the Hermes, but it will make a major difference if its a dual-core design like the Wizard running at 400 Mhz versus a single core.
I trust HTC, and its definitely a worthy successor to the Wizard.
Hopefully there will be a way to overclock the Hermes, if it does run a bit poky.

Got my Tytn!
Hey Folks!
On the last weekend, I 've got my Tytn! In Germany it's the O2 Trion. My father has the Wizard and I have to say, that the Tytn is up to 4 times faster then the Wizard.
The 400 Mhz Samsung Prozessor is the fastest Prozessor I 've ever seen on a Windows Mobile Phone!

Bring on the M3100
Well, come on Orange, launch the M3100!!

the M3100 seems to be a different beast http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=138474&tab=1
different keyboard
processor
miniSD??
AND PALM OS :roll:

@MrMarioG:
I have a few questions please
Do you have a feel for battery life yet?
Are you using Direct push?

Well, expansys is wrong again....

Well, it's kind a hard to explain. Because you know, the first days you will use the device a little bit more as usual. The Battery has lost 45 % of Power after 3 days with factory charge. And I don't have a Storagecard yet. I don't use Direct Push, but use the WLAN module with full power. I also took some pictures with 2 MPixel. HTC has still not the quality of Nokia Phone Cameras but a Macro function integrated.
I only have one Problem so far. The Tytn loses the display calibration 3 times a day.

expansys has a completely different unit! I like the unwired picture best cosmetics of the Tytn so far me thinks....[/quote]

xdaer/Facedanzr: I was at the Modaco meeting. I have to say, the Hermes (or "Herpes" as it was lovingly called by everyone) is a great device - better build quality and feels more compact then the Wizard, but great spec, nice keyboard, wifi etc, 3G - squeeze in a VGA screen and it'd be pretty much perfect. It felt "adequately" fast to me; faster then the Wizard certainly, but I use a Mio A701 and Magician, so I'm used to fast.
A nice device, it'll do very well I'm sure.
However, I have to say, the Samsung was an amazing beast

@MrMarioG:
That's good news on the battery... sounds like it may be close to if not better than a wizard. Keep us posted plz as you get a better feel for it!
That's bad news about your digitizer tho.... hopefully its just a bad TyTN and not an indication of some inherent pblm...

MrMarioG, post some pictures of your O2 Trion! It looks lovely in the factory shots, I would love to see some personal shots. You'd be the 1st with some personal shots of the O2 Trion.

Well I took some pictures! I hope I could help so far!

Dood I'm jealous, really nice looking phone with a lot of features too! Thank you for taking your time to post up pictures of the phone!

As these babies starts arriving at the post office I suggest that someone creates a own TyTn Forum.

fyi.. this is NOT the TyTN.. this is the O2 Xion XDA.
Same stuff under the hood yes.. but different casing and the keyboard is german, not english style.

Mario could you tell us how low UMTS signal is?

hmmm... at least AKU2.2. Note the clock in the title bar (its not AKU1 btw because this phone is advertised as being Direct Push capable). Could you give us a quick screenshot of the version tab in settings/about please? Also, what are your IPL/SPL revision numbers?

I bored of taking some pictures again!
But I can say, that I have the Aku 2.3 on my device. So says the Device Info in the Settings Menu!
@El_Mar1ach1
What do you meen with "how low UMTS signal is"? It depends on the location. Sometimes I have 3 bars and sometimes I don't have any UMTS Signal!
Maybe I can tell you on September what signal strength I have in Italy on Vodaphone, when I visit my italian aunt!

I'm jealous too... i'm gonna grab one probably in mid august. i like the HERM200 more than the HERM100(pictured in previous) and of what i know so far cingulars gonna be carrying the HERM100 so that means i have to start getting ready to fork over $900 for this beast!

Given M3100 to Someone , Will i buy Again or Wait for Kaiser ?

Hi guys , What you recommend , any release date from htc for kaiser yet ? or i buy the hermes again ...please throw your valuable feedback .

I am also awaiting the Kaiser...the date was set at June 2007 from http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=733 but about a week ago they changed it to July 2007. at this rate I just might buy an iPhone

Mr Sensible says wait until the Kaiser comes out, Mr More Sensible says wait a good six months after release so initial problems are ironed out. Mr Exceedingly sensible says wait at least a year so the price has dropped considerably. Mr Ultimately Sensible says just give it ten years and there'll be even better ones out by then. How sensible are you??
By the way next time you are giving one of these away:

Mike

lol, I should wait for it's launch , can't wait any further lol

I feel your pain
To tide me over I bought a M3100 off ebay so I can 'keep my hand in' so to speak until the kaiser is released
Anyone have any further info on release dates in the UK ?

Personally I don't see enough of a change for me to rush out and get one to replace my M3100. There isn't really a killer feature that I must have... the extra ROM memory is nice but I don't run that low at the moment. I don't need the built in GPS as my SirfStarIII is excellent. Don't need the extra 3meg camera over the 2meg. The screen tilt is nice but never felt the need for it. OK, it's a little bit thinner and slightly lighter but once again not enough to change.
Now if I was looking for a new phone or coming from say a Wizard then I would jump on it first chance.

Anybody got Kaiser release date for t-mobile ,Will it be called Vario III ?

I think it's out in October OEM, dunno about branded colaunches. I'll certainly be hassling T-Mobile in October as that's when my birthday is (and it'll be just over a year from the start of my contract with them).
Can't waiiiitttttttttttttt for the Kaiser Even though it's a little bit biger than the Hermes. Yummy yumyumyumyum.

Actually, I think they are just sticking price up to catch the idiots with more money than sense and who must be first with the latest gadget. In fact the sites may not even know their pricing levels yet until HTC release info.

HTC confirm UK release is expected in Nov 07, in time for the xmas purchase rush!

I had a touch pro 2 for a short amount of time i would say that it is really not like the universal. too bad the omni never came out

I agree Omni could have been a Univeral replacement but it never made it...

Yeah, too bad
But now hope HTC will do something!
If not I am seriously thinking on move to Tsosh K02....

There is no real device to upgrade. I have tried three devices, XDA Flame - very good, but without keyboard, Touch HD - nice display, but no power (Qualcomm), hard to control (no buttons, no dpad), no qwerty, Xperia X1 - nice, but to small and no power (Qualcomm).
Touch Pro 2 has not jack 3.5, has not flashlight for camera, has not so big display as Uni and has not so big keyboard as Uni . And yes, there is gps.
I think HTC Leo with hw qwerty could be a solution .

Yeah, perhaps the touch pro 3 that is a line with keyboard can be a good succesor (if HTC launches...)
If not tosh k02 looks promising

Please vote!
a friendly bump!

It has to be the nokia N900 for me - I use my uni as a portable Linux box with UMTS/GPRS always on internet access and i've been waiting 4 years for a another phone with good linux support, display res >= 640x480, qwerty keyboard and 3G/HSPA that still fits in my pocket (so no netbooks)

Ya i also thought but then will there be great rom cookers like we got here for HTC... probably not... so best option stick to HTC or lear how to cook yourself
and here is what could be another successor...
looks better than tosh KO2

Yes it looks much better, but what is it?
Brand?, mockup?
It´s not a question of learning to cook ROM´s, it´s the limitations of hardware on our beloved Uni´s
We have great Chefs here and I´m quite happy with their ROM´s

Well it's intel's first shot at the phone market ... finally intel comes into phone market... the specs hasn't been confirmed it says intel atom processor, sd slot along with 2 usb host. 47 buttoned keyboard, with tracker ball... well it's most likely be Rodhium 3 than uni-2...

18 cm * 5cm * 2 cm... mobile phone?

HTC HD2 !
Guys !
I am mesmerised by HTC HD2. I am finding it very difficult to resist. What is your advice ? How long should i wait before i get one ? Any changes expected in firmwares after 1rst release ?
Uni will continue to remain with me.

Leo is great but if no hardware keyboard is not an option for me
I would wait 6 months and sure HTC will launch Touch Pro 3!!
By now I can happily wait with a Touch Pro 2

Replacement for QTek 9000 - Nexus One or Motorola Milestone?

Hello,
I'd like to replace my QTek 9000. Which of these two phones would you choose?
- Nexus One
. Motorola Milestone
Also, what are the advantages and disadvantages to buy them through a contract, rather than unlocked?
Thank you

Go for device with qwerty keyboard, from this two this is Motorola Milestone

I decided to stay with trusty HTC and got Rhodium, I´m quite happy with it

..
i wouldnt upgrade! =D!
however, id say a HD2 is nicer than both of them. Android is all web-based ****, it's horrible without data. and i believe an OS should be self contained, not dependant on the internet for every function. even calendar doesnt work without data on android.

I could think on this as a better candidate to replace Uni than milestone

Think we have the same tastes Orb ......

I went to the dark side* (well, no, I am lying, it's not really) and.... got Xperia X1.... IN ADDITION to my Uni and LG Prada. Must say, I am quite pleased. With my choice.
Played with X10 today - lovely, but just not lovely enough to make me WANT! madly.
* I bet you all thought I got an Iphone! Hahaha

My chain of collected and kept WM devices: O2 XPHONE IIm, Imate Jam (Magician), K-Jam (Wizard), SP Jas (Breeze), JasJar (Universal), Touch (Elf - still think it was the cutest little phone I ever had), LG KS20 (got TF3D ported and thought I can die a happy girl) and SE Xperia X1
All others I fixed for other people, played with and gave them back in exchange for money I also have TYTNII waiting for holidays when I will finally get to fixing it.
