OK,
i know this forum is all about the Himalaya etc,
and i am probably very out if line, but......
does anyone know if there is a WM2005 version for the
HP2210?
I'm asking this for my brother.
He's very disapointed he didn't found a version......
TIA
sorry dodger h2210 didn't even get wm2003se i have one and was dissapointed. however h2210 is a very good machine check out www.ipaqhq.com for software and advice on how to get the best from it, also linux may work on that ipaq.

First of all let me say what a site. Ive been reading through a few posts and the level of knowledge here is unsurpassed :!:
I have a Microsoft E200 mobile, some of you may also own one, but really I was wondering whether or not I actually need to get an XDAII :?: I like the idea of having a PocketPC but for those of you who know, is it really worth having an E200 aswell as an XDAII :?: Obviously I'd be able to sync between the two which is a nice thought but really, what are the advantages of having one of these in comparison to just a Smartphone :?:
If anyone can direct me to the cheapest place for one, I'd be grateful. Orange will be releasing the M1000 soon (XDAII) but Im not keen in staying with them.
Thanks again,

OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?
I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?
Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?
Here!
Many thanks, getting it now
Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle
Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.
Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM
True
Sorry, blonde moment there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801
I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.
Hey all,
I just got myself a second hand SPV M1000 with Windows Mobile 2003SE.
This forum seems to have such a massive range of knowledgable people!
I have a few basic questions I hope someone can answer...
I would like to find a WIFI card that will work if possible? SANDISK? Which part number?
Will Windows Mobile 2005 work on the M1000? Is it worth the upgrade?
How does one go about upgrading? Im a computer geek, but dont have much experience when it comes to PDAs....
Sorry for the noobie questions, but searching for this just seems to bring up heaps and its impossible to find the answers I'm looking for.
MAny thanks, and I'm sure I'll be a frequent visitor to these forums!
David
wifi sdio cards from sandisk and socket works if they dont have onboard memory

if it's worth it guess you can check ppls posts in the 2005 forum and in buzz's
how to do it should be describet in the zip from with 2005
WM2005 is too slow and buggy for my liking, is there a way to get WM2003 on the MDA pro?
I can live with it if not, but WM2005 is horribly slow in comparison to 2003.
You read my mind
I was wondering the same thing just ealier today. I miss my Blue Angels performance. It never locked up and was plenty fast enough. It would be great to hae this performance and reliability on the Universal.
I have both the devices... BA with 1.42 ROM
BA feels faster only when there are very few apps running. However there are too many bugs and memory errors even when I am not running any app. Talk about closing WMP while it is playing and your loose the sound and have to reboot
WM5 is a bit slower but is much more usable IMO.
STILL... is there any chance of downgrading to 2003se??? no doubt its a universal truth that 2003se is much more stable and user-friendly than wm5, and is compatible with a lot more programs.
99.999999% sure there's no way you'll ever see WM2K3SE on a Universal.
Simply because there hasn't been any commercial need for it.
It was probably developed after MS had made WM5 betas for the Himalaya and Blue Angel.
And when they know that the Universal will be using WM5 in the end; why use resources on making a WM2K3SE ROM for it??
Sorry to dissapoint you..
aaah.. well that's ok, I just installed the latest o2 rom 1.30.107 wwe, and thats much much better than the previous one. I won't miss 2003se. 8)
Where can I get that O2 rom above and how would I install it? Thanks.

you can find it here,

althought I downloaded 1.30.162, but after installation in device information it says 1.30.107..!!
YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE Jasjar to 2003SE, because Jasjar and WM5 have totally new memory handling algorythms. This hardware incompatible with the previous operation system.

no no i totally disagree. WM5 is much more stable and user friendly than wm2003se. wm2003se would crash for no real obvious reason sometimes, WM5 never froze on me (except if a program was crazy, using iGO & minimizing it, that causes a freeze). you can run 5-10 apps on WM5 without ANY slowdown i'd notice. WM2003SE, not bad but you can notice the slow down. and the softkeys, well i hated them for the first time but then realized how useful they are when you don't want to use the stylus... absolutely cool. now regarding usability without stylus, we're finally getting closer to the ideal, the handheld pc. now why can't i have a ctrl key on the universal's keyboard??
In just 4 days, after installing the latest O2 rom I had to change my opinion, WM5 Proved itself to be the best mobile os yet, and its working too fine now , no hangs at all.. i wonder why:!: I'm kind of in love with the Jasjar, but I fear that the screen will get loose after sometime at the both pivoting points ,
you are right about the stylus-less use, not touching the screen too often does give you a satisfying feeling. :wink:

Actually If Im not mistaken the T-Mobile MDA IV shipped with wm2003se. I saw on ebay a few days ago an auction for a universal (I can't remember which it was, I feel like It was an imate jasjar) that was clearly running wm2003. There were pictures of the device and its screen with the new menu at the base. Its possible it could have been the new menu hack for wm2005, but there wasn't a second menu item on the right, and while it could also have been a hoax, it seems pretty unlikely. The point is Im sure that a rom for the universal with wm2003se DOES exist, the question is where to get it. I certainly would like to trade in this useless M$ BT stack for a more functional widcomm/broadcomm stack, or even bluesolei.

I want WM6 (Crossbow) for my Alpine too but I don't know why pof linked to the Linux thread? :?
Bug or feature?
Even WM5 not available for Alpine, how could WM6 will be available? Think about it!
Okay, you're right! A short but cool dream! :'(
how about wm6?..maybe it is easier to get it!!!
ok ok...I don't understand the real problem of our alpine, I had a 2020 in the past and I decide to change with the alpine thinking it was better (and it really is), but no one want to focuse the attention to wm5 or wm6 even if there is wm5 for the 2020...why??
we have more power, more memory, wifi ....what's the problem!!!
I am not an expert in this field,but a good informatic engineer could change wm5 for 2020 to one for alpine.
I am very upset beacuse a lot of programs are just for wm5...
when is WM6 or WM5 coming for Alpine as there is alot program that uses Wm5 nowsaday.
Really Wishes Alpine will resurrect from the day, as it became popular with it high specification and WM2003SE to present WM5 or WM6
Go Alpine...
Think it over,HTC shows no mercy to us who baught 699,Then we shall **** it up!
Why don't you do it
