hello everyone. i hope my question isn't 'off-topic'.can somebody please tell me when there will be an english rom that could substitute the german one provided with the mda vario that comes from t-mobile?the reason is that i would like to change the german rom with the english one,because i do not speak german but i bought the phone from germany where i was the past weekend.thank you all in advance!
German ROM in Vario
I am not sure, but the Qtek 9100 or I-Mate K-Jam ROMs should be pretty much useful for U, if you can get them.
Wher the hell did you buy the MDA vario in Germany? I am living here and I can not get it. When I was trying to order it from T-mobile I was told on the phone, that the units will be available on January 18, 2006 ! C R A Z Y ! !
to all of you asking from where i got it let me tell you that i bought from dusseldorf from a cousin of mine.but from what i know many people got through the net from well known german sites! but what i am asking is if there is an english rom to change the german one?please if someone knows...

Officially no "cousins" :shock: and no well known german sites do sell the Vario in Germany, yet. If you really have it - U R LUCKY!
@ fut. problem: You could also try the US ROM form the US-version of the Vario. Maybe using the miniSD card and the backup software /w "backup/restore All data".
I just bought MDA Vario and have the same problem(((( everything is in dutch PLUS it's sim-locked. ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Okay guys, heres one for you...
as some of you may know, i currently have a wizard, well an o2 mini-s to be exact, and am due to upgrade, change soon.....
I've have a number of smartphone/pda's in the past starting with the SPV E200, then the E500 then the SPV M1000 (Xda II) then jumped to the XDA Exec, which i sold and got a XDA Mini s.
I don't really want to go to anything bigger than the mini-s and like the slide out keyboard, kinda rules out the xda atom, SPV M600 etc etc
My question is, what is the main difference (apart from colour) of the 3 main hermes devices marketed at the minute.
Is anyone better than the other or is it all just down to bundled software and case colour......
I'm thinking of the SPVm3100 as i like the colour but dunno wheather to wait for o2 to launch the Trion in this country ???
any advice would be helpful.
It is very unlikely that O2 will ever release the Trion in this country, despite what others might say. Do you honestly think that O2 would wait so long?
The Hermes you have in this country are pretty much it, it really depends on what services you want. If you want a locked down device then go for Orange, an unlocked device with very little extra stuff loaded go for the v1605/TyTYN or if you want a device with bugundy go for the Vario II.

Thanks for the reply... locked down can be fixed surely... it hasn't been an issue in any other xda's so far.....
I do know the orange is a good looking device especially in the black... might have to bite the bullet and go back to orange...
I've had the chance to really put the M3100 and Vario II through its paces.
I found the M3100 to be faster and also damn good looking compared to the ugly duckling the Vario.
Almost everything else is the same.
Hope that helps.

Not yet, other than by convincing your operator to do it (unlikely), or by paying £20 to an online unlocking service.

Thanks for that... I had the SPV E200, C500 and M1000 through orange and had no problem apart from i found that the signal strength where i lived wasn't up to much.
BTW Does the SPV M3100 take mini sd or the new stupid sized micro sd..
hope it's mini as i've just had to buy one recently for my mini s.... i've now got a 1gb sd card which is no good, i don't want a 1gb mini sd that won't be any use either
Sorry to say its Micro SD on the Hermes.
Hi,
here in germany the best choice is the MDA Vario II from t-mobile.
The reason is, that t-mobile is the only provider that supports HSDPA (1,8 mbit i think).
Hope it helps,
Thomas

HELLO!!! I'm about to buy a new PPC so I need an advice! Which one? Is the winner T-mobile MDA or T-mobile Wing? Some say Wing is too slow? Is that truth because they have almost the same hardware (OMAP850...)? Please HELP!!!
ANYONE?
well...it has a 2 mp camera so that'd be better than the wizard.
ask around in the herald forum, might be more answers in there.
i like blue
Maybe this is the wrong forum too post it but since i have a mda pro it shouldn't matter.
In a few months i can renew my phone contract. Now i want too know which phone i should go for too replace my old mda pro. I live in the netherlands and i think that would limit my choice some what. I really like the tytn 2 only the driver problem is a big isssue don;t know if that will be resaolved or not.
But what phone/ppc would you guys recommend and pls tell me why i should.
greetings dadio22
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..
