The guys over at Pocketpctechs have done it again/ already.
They're offering a replacement of 128mb for the current 64mb in our jams. 199.00 (not too bad) So for those of us who feel a little constrained by stepping down from a 128mb pocketpc phone or xda II. This might be the fastest most reasonable option.
Just when I thought Christmas was over :shock:

For those of us in the US here is a link to Expansys in the good old USA. They have them unlocked for $782.44. I think I will be ordering one tonite.
http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=106055&sbadd=106055
How do you know this is unlocked? The Expansys page doesn't say that... just that it is the phone only. So it could be for existing O2 customers that don't want to sign a new contract.
The uk site states:
"Handset Only Price: £572.81 (487.50 exc.)
With O2 Connection: £337.81 (287.50 exc.)
Note: This phone is available handset only (SIM free) and unlocked, you can use your existing SIM from Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone or O2. If you require a connection with this phone, add the phone and one of the Enliven Connections below to the shopping basket."
Whilst the US site states:
"Handset Only Price: $782.44
Initially this device will be available on contract to O2 only."
OK, so I'm still confused. I've sent them an email asking for a straight answer. It is possible to be off contact, but still locked.
I just called Expansys and cancelled my order for the O2 XDA 2. The one they are selling right now IS SIM LOCKED. Meaning you can only use it with an O2 SIM card.
And since it doesn't appear that anyone knows how to unlock them right now, I cancelled.
They did say that they hope to be able to offer a SIM Free version within a month or two.
If its a month or 2 why not just get the qtek 2020 which is cheaper and bound to be unlocked
If that's a different branding name of the XDA 2, MDA 2, HTC Himalaya Pocket PC Phone Edition...
then show me where to order one and have it delivered to the US!
http://www.expansys.us/product.asp?code=108269&asource=
There we go
Ah! Nice!
That's probably the one they were referring to as hopefully having them in stock within a month... as it says there:
Availability: Estimated 21 Days
I can't wait that long.
Eh, I'll order it anyway.
Edit: Oh wait, that one only has 64MB RAM... no wonder it's cheaper.
You can buy the UN-LOCKED version which is completely sealed from here:

PayPal is excepted as a method of payment - you can also read the feedback from people who have already purchased the unit from me.

Sold!
Am I going to need a USA style AC adapter? I wonder if the one for the iPAQs will work.
i thought all XDA 2s have 64mb ram :| even though they say 128.
32mb is for the CPU
32mb ROM
64MB RAM
work it out peeps lol.
gaz
The device has 128MByte RAM, 32 MB flash ROM (internal to the Xscale CPU...) for the Operating System, and 32 MB on a "disk-on-chip". 14.5 MB out of these 32MB are available to the user as non-volatile '\Storage'.
...In other words 32Mb ROM + 32Mb ROM + 128Mb RAM
oh ok then lol my bad :S
please any news regarding this
when can buy it ?
thanks
You don't have to wait: you can have an S100 / JAM / XDA Mini upgraded with a 128MB upgrade from PocketPCTechs.com today.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~Qtek_S100-291~area~upgrades-ram~item~JAM-064-128RAM.htm
My S100 was upgraded this week (took 1 day: one day to ship it to them, one day for the upgrade, and one more to return it to me) and I received it back this morning via FedEx, I now have 121.39MB total available main memory showing (60.79MB of Storage & 60.69MB of Program) and it doesn't require any special software or drivers to access the additional memory. My S100 runs really nicely now that it has a minimum of 40+MB of program memory available at all times, and with a slightly faster CPU (416mHz) than my XDA II (400mHz) its kinda peppy
Just one thing - price difference between S100 and S110 is about 30-50 $
S110 will be available at www.expansys.com from 31-st of july. IMHO - if You don't have device at all - it worth to wait for S110.
Hi guys,
about to be eligable for my upgrade to an Orange M500 (hopefully free!!), and was just having a look around and saw on a website a Qtek s110 on an O2 contract for £29 (£30 month tariff). I am not to bothered about moving phone companies, only that I know it is a bit of a hassle.
is it MUCH better having the 128mb of onboard ram, compared to 64?
thanks all
nickb
If the price difference is negligible, go for the 110. 128mb is better than 64mb, of course (more space for games, dictionaries etc), so your consideration is what it'll cost you.

i think i might then......
Nickb
where abouts are you thinking of getting the s110 for the best price in uk?
Did anyone notice this updated jam coming out at the end of September? The specs says it has 128mb of RAM and ROM. This one could definitely support WM5. Why else would they release this thing if not to offer an upgrade? I have been reading this forum all week and I have been trying to decide what variation of the Magician I want to get. I think I may just hold out for this one.

thx for link dublin
but not integrated Wi-Fi again
Already available here in Dubai. The color is a dark shade instead of the normal white one. Looks good. I am still happy with my Big Storage Hack. Wonder if it will work there as well?
it is the same (i think) as th QTEK S110, which I got this week in the UK. Really good, though havig a little problem with charging.....

The S110 only has 64mb of Rom. It does have the 128mb of Ram, but that's not good enough for an upgrade to WM5. You have to have the larger Rom for that. The S110 is no different from a regular S100 that has had a memory upgrade. It's the Rom that makes this one unique.
You can get a normal I-Mate Jam through expansys (UK) which has been modded by PPCTECHs and has 128MB of RAM. Only £524 without contract
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119052
Is this for real or are expansys just testing the water? It says 128Mb in a few places but also 64Mb in the detailed text.
Looks like they cut and pasted some text from the original Jam advert
On the expansys Hong Kong website, it says "64MB ROM and 128MB RAM".
I believe it was a typo on the UK web.

That's perfectly true. Since Windows Mobile now resists in the persistent storage, more RAM is of no benefit. Quite the contrary, more RAM is of benefit more for Windows 2003 SE than for Windows Mobile 5.
I started looking around myself and found some of their sites say 128 rom and some say 64. Makes you wonder which one is true. It's probably the 64 rom, 128 ram. I got all excited there for a few minutes, but I would guess this is more likely the actual config. Oh well, I'll just keep dreaming.
Got some news for those of you waiting for the Qtek version of HTC Universal:
-The Qtek version of the Universal will be 'Qtek 9000', not 'Qtek 4040'
-It will be realeased in the end of october
-It will have 128 mb RAM and 96mb ROM, not 128mb ROM and 64mb RAM as stated elsewhere.
-The price will be € 986 w/o VAT
Found all this info on Qtek's Switzerland pages. But guess it will be available to the rest of the world by then as well, since they ship it internationally.

Enjoy!
Accurate to a point BUT I don't believe those memory figures are correct.
When HTC first released details of the Universal they gave information that it would have 128MB RAM and 96MB ROM. At first both Orange and T-mobile gave that info out as being accurate. Now both of them have changed their info to say 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM. As such I'm inclined to believe that Qtek simply haven't corrected themselves (see also the dimensions they give - which are again based on the original info released by HTC, and which Orange, O2 and T-mobile have all now corrected).
I see.. But it could be true considering that the prototypes got 2*32mb + room for two more.
Perhaps it even will be different from each distributor? (lets say Qtek will give the RAM priority - 128mb RAM and 96mb ROM, and I-mate will do the opposite - 64mb RAM and 128mb ROM or something)

The way Windows Mobile 5.0 works makes 96MB ROM and 128MB RAM a less efficient arrangement. No - I think the fact that their specs (including measurements) match inaccurate ones from a while ago makes it unlikely they are correct (not impossible - but very unlikely).

Warning: Do not rely on qtek.ch. They are NOT official Qtek Dealers, instead they import the devices through dubious channels. Plus, they are thieves, a statement I can prove.
Go instead to http://www.dangaard.ch if you want to get official news about Qtek in Switzerland.
it's unlikely that the 2 empty places for chips could
be used for both rom and ram
the memorymap would get pretty screw'd up if
you just put in rom chips even if you could find
leg compatible ones
For size, see here.
