Hello
I am thinking of upgrading from my Orange SPVM5000 and just wondered if anyone had got TomTom 3 running on the Universal - as I know it is older software - but it does the job and I don't really want to have to upgrade AND buy new software if possible.
I did a search but could not see if anyone had asked this question before.
Thanks

OK, so I am looking to buy a Jam. I am in the UK and currently carry around an IPAQ with TOMTOM on for the car, a Nokia mobile phone and a Blackberry for my work email.
I've been reading these threads for some time and see there are some problems and no one can get the Blackberry client to work. But it could still save me two of the devices I currently have (phone / tomtom).
Which GPS devices are you using with the Jam and TomTom, are you happy with them and how much were they (in UK)?
Can I use bluetooth headset and bluetooth GPS with TOMTOM at the same time? e.g. if I am driving and tomtom is nagivating me, can I make and receive calls still?
How good is it as a phone? Is sound quality ok? I will be using it for work so can't afford to have something that isn't reliable and will annoy my customers!
Is there anything else coming along in the short term I should wait for instead of getting the Jam?
From your wealth of experience, do you recommend I get one or wait?
Will is work in America? My company is based in Boston and I travel there sometimes so it would need to work out there too.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
I would wait for a similar device that ships with the new Windows Mobile 5. As it stands, there will be no official release of the OS for the Magician :-(
When released in September, the ETEN M600 will be a very good alternative.
(Hope HTC, imate, etc. read these forums!!!)
Just found this: http://www.mobile-review.com/exhibition/computex-2005-smarts-en.shtml
Looks like the R-Ten M600 might be the one I wait for as it has WM 5.0 and WiFi. Unless HTC release a new Magician.
You guys mean ETEN M600 ? But in another thread here they were saying Eten M500 is good enough... ?

I’ve been using the HOLUX gr 230 for more than a year in my XDA II using Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 with Destinator 3.075.
I never had any problems using it.
Last month I bought an i-mate JasJar that comes with original Mobile 5.0.
The Bluetooth seems to work fine because I’m using a Jabra 250V and if I turn it off and turn it on again, Windows recognize that the Jabra is on and work fine.
As you see in “display_2.bmp”, HOLUX work fine in the JasJar, with Destinator 3.075 see on “display_5.bmp”.
But, if I turn off and on again, It appears a message on the display: Cannot open the COMPORT as you can see on “display_1.bmp”.
Why it appears a “?” on the left side of HOLUX? (as you can see on “display_3.bmp”).
It the “display_4.bmp” you can see the HOLUX is working in COM 4.
Have somebody already tested HOLUX GR 230 on a i-Mate JasJar, or similar product using Windows Mobile 5.0?
Best regards,
Jose
This might be a slightly 'dumb' question, but - how did u manage to work fine with WM5 for a year, when it only came out officially just a few weeks back?
IF u did actually use WM5, and not something else branded as such (and I am giving u the benefit of my doubts here) - then MAYBE it was an unofficial and/or unfinished product/version, which might explain your current problems.
I have just bought the Holux 236 which I assume uses the same drivers as the 230, and also had some troubles, but haven't really manged to find time to deal with it yet - If I have any solutions in the near future I will let you know.
Good Luck!

hi guys, i asked a question regarding tomtom, a couple of poeple advised me but i could not sort it. the question now is i down graded my roms from 2005 back to the one from the o2 xda site does any one know if this is 2003se or 2003 or what? the file name is Xda_II_172181_Final.
thanks for you help.
ps 2005 is bloody cool, but i like tomtom to much.
It's WM2003 with service pack 2.
I'm running the same, but I've cooked my extended rom, TT5 works cool for me, but my GPS receiver is bluetooth, and bluetooth loves to eat power
thank
for your help.

As my old trusty XDA11 has packed up, I now have a new o2 XDA mini 's' (Wizard). Trouble is, Tomtom Navigator 3 (as worked ok on the XDA11), won't install. Tomtom tell me it's incompatible, but the guy in the o2 shop assured me that I would find a work-around on here. Well I've looked, and I can't find any.
Can anyone help please?
The Guys at the phone-shops are total n00bs... They even don't know what a PocketPC is. TomTom 3 isn't working on WM5. Even TomTom 5 need a installer modification to work.
Yeah I know, but this guy completely bullshitted me that he knew all about XDA's! Guess I'll have to fork out again for 5.21
Hello...
I am not a new memeber, just new to the Wizard forum... I have a 8925 (Tilt) and love it.. use the GPS almost daily and love all the software for it... I have the oppertunity to pick up a used 8125 (Wizard) for $50 in full working order... I think picking it up is a no-brainer... Here are my questions...
GPS : I did a search in the forum and can find nothing stating whether this unit does or does not have a built in GPS chip like my 8925 (or my friends Titan)... I am assuming that it does not... but I would love to be plesantly suprised... SO, does it have a built in GPS chip?
Rom Update : I know it comes with WM 5.0 on it.. but my 8925 has the WM 6.1 on there, so I wanted something closer... With this upgrade, will the 8125 be able to use the SDHC SD cards ? What is the size limit? I downloaded the SNN Diamond WM 6.1 rom from the Wizard Forums.. and feedback on that rom?
Advice : I will most likely be giving this phone to a friend of mine who is envious of my tilt, as it does most everything my tilt can do (keeping my fingers crossed on the gps thing)... Any tips/advice from someone who has used both devices? Any tricks or anything I should be aware of? (I will most likely be their only form of tech support for the phone as they will be using it on Einstein PCS, not tmobile or at&t)
Thank you so much in advance for your help! I will greatly appreciate it!
Sorry, no gps. I use the SNN rom and I love it.
Thanks for the reply!
I assume this will stil lbe able to work with a bluetooth GPS puck, right?
Ya, I use a Telelogic Bluetooth GPS "puck" receiver with my 8125 since there is no GPS builtin. Also, the 8125 has a slower processor, most things seem to work fine for me.
I haven't heard if WM6.1 enables SDHC on Wizard. Regular SD is 2GB max I think. I still use stock ROM.
Thanks so much for everyones help... This afternoon I picked up the stock rom and locked Cingular 8125 for $50.. I have it CID and Sim Unlocked thanks to software found here in the forum.... And I upgraded it to the SNN WM 6.1 Diamond rom... Working great... I got the internet and such set up for Einstein Wireless as my friend who will be getting it from me will be using them for service...
SDHC will not work, the hardware does not support it. The Wizard's CPU functions at 180mhz stock but it can (and should IMHO!) be over-clocked to 240mhz.
I'm running WM 6.1 with Manila and it's really only lacking GPS.
Having said that, I wish I had the money for a Fuze!
