anyone really got the device?
waiting for T-mobile to call to get mine....
Hi!
I have already ordered the MDA compact at the local T-online Shop in Weil am Rhein (D) 'caus I live nearby in Basle (CH). Although online it seems available, they are still awaiting delivery :?.
Anynone knows when they actually get to the stores? The shop is getting crazy with me I think, I call almost every 2-3 days to know some news when its coming, he he he. :lol:
Cheers

hi,
I just received mine from t-mobile Germany yesterday.
It looks great. It's very stylish and superbly manufactured. I was looking for a small pda-phone I can carry around in my pocket and my Qtek 2020 was a little bit to bulky.
This machine is great. Not much bigger then my Siemens S65.
So far it runs every program I had on my Qtek.
GPS is fine via BT and TomTom 3 is running well.
The SD-card-slot works with my 1 GB Transcend SD-Card and my SAN-DISK WLAN Card.
Windows Mobile SE is a big step forward concerning the display settings supporting different font sizes and landscape setting.
The included mini-usb cable is capable of charging and syncing the device simultanously.
Included software is also nice. Truefax, GPRS Monitor, Clearview, voice dialing software.
Didn't have a change to check the battery.
by the way. is there a solution to show the contact info of sent sms?
hi andilein, would you mind to post some photo for us ?

Post some photos please.
What difference does the 64MB of RAM make as against 128MB?
What's Clearview?

Is the version you ordered English?? Sim unlocked?? What website did you order from?? Thanks
I want to buy new PPC, what would you choose, Wizard or Ipaq 6515?
Also, I have an offer to change my 2-years old Qtek 2020 for Ipaq 6515 and to add 300EUR. Is that good offer?
Well I'd say your going to get some biased opinions because you posted in the Wizard forum, but heres my opinion.
I was considering the 6515 before the K-JAM came out, but decided against it (also before the release of the K-JAM) because of two things:
* No WiFi
* Square 240x240 screen
One of the benefits of the thumboard (apart from being faster and easier to type on) is that there is no input panel taking up a 1/3 of the screen.
I am very happy with my K-JAM, and have no doubt that I made the right decision.
Well, I like the size of the K-jam and also bigger screen.
Yep, the K-JAM is a good size, particularly considering it combines the keyboard, wifi, phone and full size screen into it.
I had a 6515, and liked it well enough. I now have a K-JAM. No comparison. I like the K-JAM much better. Small form factor, better keyboard (IMHO), "full" screen, more memory, WM5.
Unless you have a burning need for built-in GPS, go with the K-JAM.

Well, I have ordered 9100 afterall Coming on friday. Costs me a lot more than I expected but what a hell
Dopod 838 is the chinese version of the HTC wizard, it looks very nice to me compare with the Qtek/imate HTC wizard. Nevertheless, it's only available in chinese ROM....
Dopod 388 links
http://www.dopod.hk/product/pro.aspx?Product_Class_id=4&Product_id=18
http://www.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=2347
The one thing I really like about it is the fact that the soft keys are placed further away from the call & end-call keys. I keep pressing the soft key accidently when I try to end a call - it's pretty annoying!
Rajesh
ouch that dopod was really ugly =) love my qtek 9100 =D
Isn't this just the HTC WIZA100 series design? Same internally as the WIZA200, but in a different plastic case, as used in the cheap Cingular version?
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000217064619/
Actually, the Dopod 838 is available in both Traditonal Chinese and English ROMs. I live in HK (Australian) and have played with an English version Dopod 838.
Hope this helps. I personally prefer the look of the I-Mate/QTEK version.

so is the Qtek 9100 has a plastic case or metal one ????
Both (the front bezel is alloy). But if the WZA100/Cingular 8125 is $100 cheaper, who cares?
1st impression of Dopod - Sony P900(i) & Urgly...
That's why I bought a K-JAM via eXpansys even no official support center in HK & no interest free installment. :twisted: :twisted:
Want to clarify: Dopod 838 is Wizard, and K-JAM, Qtek 9100, etc - are Prodigy. Dopod keyboard is much like Universal keyboard, IMHO better then Prodigy.

True, the Dopod/Cingular is the "original" Wizard design. Not convinced on the keyboard though. It might look nicer, but the photos show that, unlike the Universal, the keys are totally flat. To me that suggests zero tactile feedback, and so a high risk of pressing adjacent keys,
a) because there is no space between them, and
b) because of the lack of a "dome", no way of feeling that your finger is central on the key.
i like the cingular/dopod one more but i have a couple of questions. anyone know of the cingular release date for it? cuz i know it was supposed to be mid november then they kept delaying it now some one said feb 1. also why is the dopod $950 on ebay and the k-jam around 700$? also is the dopod 838 802.11b or g like the k-jam. one last thing anyone have a pic with the dopod/cingular model next to the k-jam? because it looks like the dopod is smaller.[/quote][/code][/list]
Was reading through another forum today and someone was asking about the O2 Atom and I-Mate JAMin. I knew about the atom but hadn't heard anything about the JAMin :shock:
Thought I'd do a search on the trusty xda-developers forum and found it actually comes under the Prophet group :? why??? isn't it just the replacement of the Jam as the Atom is to the mini??
Anyway looks like some research ahead me!
marto
No....the Atom is not even made by HTC.
Strictly speaking, the Charmer replaces the Magician, the Prophet is something else. Various providers seem to have done different things though. T-Mobile brought out the Comact-II which is a Charmer. O2 brough out the Atom, I-Mate brought out the Jamin (Prophet) Orange have brought out the M600 (also a Prophet) etc etc etc.
Each has replaced their variations on the Magician in thier own way.
WOW thats certainly a handfull, thanks TheBrit
Explains why I haven't seen any comparisions as there in two different threads areas. :?
Although I haven't had a chance to fully read up on both it appears the Atom has major phone issues like echo, etc. and the JAMin has had multi ROM updates suggesting there are ongoing issues they are concerned about.... :shock:
Anyone got any -/+ feedback on these puppies?

I checked out the Atom in a store recently and did not like it. The very shiny case was literally covered in fingerprints, and the screen image seemed washed out (contrast too high) and the image did not use up all of the space. In short, I was disappointed.
I'm hoping to check out the JAMin tomorrow (in a store in Sydney), and have heard that the latest ROM really brings the device up to speed at last. Note that the Atom has an Intel processor and the JAMin a TI OMAP processor, so they really are different gadgets.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for that The info I'm finding on the 2 units certainly supports your comments.
I look forward to hearing how your adventures go with the JAMin, I haven't found any stockests in Perth yet (like there's a surprise ).

JAMin the Atom
In short, bought an Atom, great speakers, A2DP, and that is about it. Bluetooth weak, no voice dial through headset, no external aerial (the latter killed it for me as I am often in weak radio areas). Shiny case looks good, but don't pick it up without gloves. Now on third ROM. It is stable however, but camera is crap!
Bought JAMin. Even though JAMin is 195Mhz and Atom is 416MHz, hardly any difference. JAMin has great Bluetooth (no A2DP though Grrr), Voice dials, and soft keys make 1 handed operation possible. Screens about the same, Camera slightly better.
If you can live without FM radio and dual speakers, go JAMin and pocket $200.
Cheers.
Are you happy with the switch?
Is it really too large to place by the ear?
I was thinking of getting a Universal early next year.
How is the speed of the unit, e.g. reading large PDFs, or opening big DOC files in Word?
How is quality of the LCD screen, speakers, keyboard vs Blueangel?
BA v Uni
Definitely a better system than the Blue Angel. The OS is much better, the screen larger, the processor better, a thumb keyboard you can actually use. My old Blue Angel is now my TomTom GPS.
The Universal's replacement will be out early (Possibly Q1) next year. Might be better to wait for that.
Back on topic. I sometimes get a little peed at having to flip the screen to see who's calling, but on the whole I'm glad I upgraded.
dont bother mate,just look on the baord at the amount of issues
overall, universal is more than ok!
i still have my BA and use it as a backup, i use my o2 xda exec for everything else like my gps and etc.
have you tried wm5 on BA ?
try the Helmi aku3.2 wm5 Rom with (i think it was) 16mb page file
BA then really flies (20x faster than universal)
I was really amazed !!
currently I now have jasjar with IvanRom 1.14 and BA with "helmi aku3.2 wm5 rom
but BA is still a lot faster
(for me the keyboard is the only reason why I use universal daily)
greetz,
