Does anyone have any idea when the Exec is being released in Ireland? I was in an O2 store but they had never heard of the thing-very enlightening... So far I've heard nothing in relation to princing here either if anyone happens to feel like sharing.
Yes, a friend of mine, after seeing my iMate Jasjar, rang his account manager in O2 and was told before Christmas
will be available after xmas..latest information!, as i asked everywhwre and eventually got from uk.

First time I have posted although I have done quite a lot of reading today ............
I have just purchased a new i-mate. Previously I have owned iPAQ 2650 and 5555. I find the i-mate to be a very promising device.
One problem has manifested itself though. My cell supplier provided me an i-mate, not an O2 XDA II, but on the O2 network. When attempting to set up the GPRS I found it a bit tough going and called O2 support which informed me that the O2 XDA II had an essintial piece of software that enabled the owner to easily configure WAP and GPRS setting. Obviously my i-mate does not have that software and we proceded to configure manually. The O2 tech said that in the future I was likely to experience trouble with GPRS as a result of not having the configuration software.
I am having trouble already today by virtue of connection trouble and a reluctance to load web pages and my AOL.
I notice that O2 has a ROM upgrade on their site. Does anyone know what the result of me upgrading my i-mate with this software will be?
Has anyone else had any similar problems?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Wes
I have an XDAII which I have set up GPRS on both Vodafone and o2 in the UK. I have also set up an imate in the UK for Vodafone. I assume you should have no problem setting up a GPRS connection for o2. Check the forum for the GPRS settings for o2, and set up in Connections. The imate manual has instructions on how to do this. If you get stuck send a post.
Hi,
I've ordered an O2 Exec and have an O2 account but the account is managed by Vodafone since they purchased Singlepoint (or SingleIQpoint, as I preferred to call them).
When I called Vodafone to ask whether I could upgrade my account to a 3G one I was told that my existing SIM card in the Exec would allow me to use 3G data speeds (no indication of exact speed) but that video calling would be impossible unless I shifted my account to a full Vodafone one.
Has anyone got any insights as to whether this is accurate or not?
Many thanks!
Case of SingleIQpoint again I fear! Call O2 and get the real story!
Although this may not be of any use, I had a similar experience with a vodafone reseller (who went t#ts up) a few years ago, I think it was with GPRS, I had to get a new SIM from Voda direct.
And as for singlepoint 4u /cauldwell grp, the least said the better!
I'm now stuck in one of those infernal loops where I call 02 who tell me to call Vodafone who tell me to call O2 who... :shock:
I'm now desperately trying to think up some scheme to sort this out.
I've had my Vodafone/SingleIQpoint/O2 account for about 2 years now. If I get the PAC number from another account, can my Vodafone/SingleIQpoint/O2 number be changed to it?
Please help me before my brain escapes through my ear...
@The Doctor, just use the O2 SIM you have and if you can't make video calls complain to O2 and SingleIQpoint. They will have to give you a new O2 SIM if you complain hard enough.
Also threaten to report Singlepoint to OfCom!
Other than just buying the Prophet and configuring the operator settings, does anyone know if, and when T-Mobile are going to release this PDA Phone officially.. specifically, here in the UK? I have just phoned their Customer Service, and as per usual did not have a clue what I was on about!
Thanks guys.
I've searched this can can't find anything...I was wondering if i could use the Exec on my cingular plan without having to change anything. I'd like to be able to use my existing SIM card with it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can , but you need had unlock O2 Exec , I used Cingular in my Exec work fine.
I got the same problem with you, I cant get it work with Cingular service and I cant get any solutions from searching net. I have tried to talk with them, go to their stores and do whatever I can. The result still the same, it really make me headache....I have already paid for 2 months fee in "NO SERVICE" condition and they cannot do anything!
O2 XDA Exec issue with cingular ....
O2 XDA Execs come unlocked from O2. When i received mine when it came first out in early october 2005, i just plugged in my Cingular SIM and there wasn't any problems. Though note that the SIM location is a little iffy at times, you shouldn't have a lot of problems.
You would also need to configure the GPRS settings on the Exec.
BTW, noticing you're from MO, which phone were you using prior to the Exec? it might give me more of an idea of your situation ...I've been using GSM phone for a while and i know that Cingular didn't have a full GSM network until a couple of months ago ... and if you came from AT&T then that's another ballgame as well ... AT&T used a mix of different standards as well ...

I was using MDA II before EXEC. Start from May, I can't get the signal anymore, at first I thought it was my MDA problem, so I changed it to EXEC. But, who knows? The same problem still there. Cingular just blame O2 that the EXEC has problem, and they do nothing.
Are you using EXEC now? How to change the GPRS setting?
In addition, I was Cingular customer about 1.5 year already. This problem happen since May. I really have no idea how to solve it.
Got a unit the other day that was used, so they sent me out a replacement, and it has WM6 installed - YAY!
Just waiting for my Micro SD card to arrive to see if I can load TT6 onto it (whihc could be a problem!)
I guess ROM updates must be due shortly for the rest?

tonyflow, that's interesting! I ordered an XDA Trion from O2 UK today. They were out of stock for a little while, so this must be a new batch. I wonder what OS they'll have installed...
Will report back!
The first unit I got (which was already used - which I was not happy about) was WM5, called their customer services, and they got a replacement out to me the next day - the box had a manual addition for WM6 - and when I powered the device on it was confirmed
I knew that O2 Germany had a ROM update for WM6, but wasnt aware of O2 UK having it! Saves me the hassle of upgrading and then trying to relicense tomtom in the future anyways
I got mine at the beginning of July and it has WM5 on it
I wonder if it would be easy to upgrade and if all the programs I have on it would still work.....
Anyway, I have sent them an email as to why the Trion is mot mentioned on the my-xda site (I became aware of it a while back when someone posted the seeo2.com for malaysian customers and I looked for the english version and re-visited it when it was mentioned on el-reg). Just hope a WM6 update is forthcoming....
Well, just called O2 as I saw the order had "Provisioning Failed" by it on their website. Turns out that they're out of stock - why they couldn't of told me this when I bought it I don't know - and it's contrary to what it says on their online store. So maybe, if I get a unit from yet another new batch, the chance of having WM6 increases?
