Hi,
Just wondering, is there any news as to whether o2 uk will be bringing the xda atom to the uk? If so, when?
Thanks in advance.
I was in an 02 store and in the brochure they have somethign that seemed to be it was in the back on their model list. I think scheduled for release on late Nov or Dec.
Gosh, it makes the Magician look bloated!

OMG... This thing is really small :shock:
I hope Qtek or i-mate take into consideration releasing this device too.. it looks very nice 8)
I'll be getting one to replace my Qtek S100 on Orange providing the first review doesn't proclaim them to be terrible.
Looks good shame I can't fit my 4GB card in it unless I snip it in half :-(
More and more devices going MiniSD....
For looks I still prefer the Orange M500/Dopod 828/VPA Compact style.
That O2 mini lookes like it's in a skin which further bulks it up, making the atom look smaller than it really is.
Anyone knows a store where they will ship it worldwide - or at least in Italy - once it is released? Beside expansys, I mean.
That's really a small beauty. Love at first sight for me. Still, the Wifi in combination with Mini SD makes it not enough for me to update. Waiting for a Hermes, maybe with a Atom design, which is really great.
Did anyone realize the screen being smaller than the one of the Magician? I think that's the only part we don't want to be smaller, do we?
Yes the screen is 2.7" as opposed to the Magician's 2.8".
o2 xda atom
this o2 xda atom does have usb host ?
O2 XDA Atom
I know that the Atom will be released officially in Asia (while O2 XDA Exec is not sure to be released in Asia because from the grapevine, DOPOD has the license to distribute the Universal in Asia) .. if you guys want to check it, go to www.seeo2.com the Atom is there ...
fyi

O2 Asia and HTC are no longer friends because of the Atom - HTC are now scared!
So Dopod has entered the O2 market's directly in competition. So no more HTC products from O2 in asia, only dopod!

Is this really possible? Irregardless of who is actually assembling the Atom, it is clearly based on the same technology as the previous HTC products - which implies that HTC licenced that stuff to whomever is fabricatin the Atom for O2. In other words, HTC had to agree to this and is making a profit off of every Atom sold.
I fail to see the "competition" there. Maybe in the eyes of the consumer who doesn't know better, sure. As far as I can see, its still one product source with many retail brand names...
I don't see too much HTC in the Atom. E.g. why would they change the display size (2.8" to 2.7")?
There have been many announcements on this topic, but I think the latest was that Atom is made by Quanta, and not HTC. Indeed, HTC will produce Prophet (aka Athena), which is the real competitor to the Atom.

That doesn't meam anything. HTC would not be the maker of those screens, they are buying them just like everybody else. Also with all these digital cameras coming out with big screens now, maybe there is a demand spike.
In any case its an OEM camera for a mobile phone company's own brad - they are going to cut costs (maybe corners too) wherever they can. So a smaller screen is no surprise to me - its not like users are asking for a small screen!
To be honest I don't see why Qunata would want HTC's help? Quanta is to laptops what HTC is to pda phones. They just found it appropriate to enter this market segment I think.
And it doesn't really make sense for a company to invest in two competing products! Just because the ATOM slightly resembles the Athena and the Magician does not confirm HTC's involvement in the product.
has anyone actually asked o2 uk if they are bringing the atom out here?

Exactly
Quanta is the 800pd gorilla here, and no doubt HTC are scared.
If O2 Europe or Orange brings out a quanta device in these markets - then HTC will cut them off at the knees and sell direct.
Oh wait, that's why they've set up a european Sales & Marketing org!
I still think the decision to put a miniSD slot and a 2.5 mm audio jack on it is stupid.
I would've preffered it slightly bigger WITH these features then, small and without....
They wanted this device media centered, and they failed IMHO.
But i don't want to sound like a hater, it still looks very good .

Don't know if this old news for some ...

An identical device to the Magican with WM5, WiFI, 128MB and 2 replaced buttons!
I spoke to our logistics manager today (TMUK) and he confirmed that the Compact II looks the same as the original with Windows 5 OS. Didn't have anymore tech specs to hand although don't be surprised if some more case colours appear. If I get anymore info I'll update.
BulletTime,
many thanks for your reply. Looks like we might get the long awaited WM5 through "official" channels then!
Hence my excitement!
Athena anyone?
I'm not entirely sure if this is the Athena or not. I heard rumours that this could be the athena but I also heard rumours of an athena that has a different shape than the Magician altogether. I think we'll have to wait and see ...
Could be the HTC Prophet
German tmobile also claims a new release of our mdacompact should appear before christmas. And "yes" they say its planned to be equipped with WM2005 wlan and 128mb.
Greetings
T-mobile compact II (HTC - ???)

So Compact II will be a S110 with windows mobile 5.0? Nothing more, nothing less? Well, at least i think we'll be able to install its rom in our magician in short times!!!
Oh Prophet, we are u???
Bye
Could you please scan page 12 and link it for us?
Or at least tell us what further information about the MDAcII is given on page 12?
Edit:
It seems that the missing page/information is given here.
That's great, because we could use the firmware and have wm5 on our magican i suppose... If anyone have the solution for that please provide us with it.thx
Done for prophet

I don't see the relationship of this post with respect to the main topic.
Atom Life is in the market now! It is really attractive to me. However I heard ppl said that O2 wont do much about the ROM update and less ppl willing to custom make some ROMs for it too. That makes me thinking...is it worth to buy Atom Life? Should I wait for other brands release some devices with similar spec?
Sigh...maybe I should stick with my HP rw6828 and wait...
I have the same thoughts. I want the XDA Atom Life but I really want WM6, as far as I know the Atom Life isn't even realeased in Australia yet but it is very soon, around the 19/3/07 so it hasn't even been released and it has an old operating system, that would be like ordering a brand new computer and getting windows XP, it's that stupid and I really don't think O2 like to do any upgrades.
Does anyone think WM6 will be avaliable for this phone or even made for it by developers on this site??? I have an i-mate Jasjam and Jasjar and the differences between the amount of activity on those forum compared to the atom forum is massive, does anyone really buy the XDA Atoms, they say it was a big seller but the forums show differently.
seal,
Too late, i am already in the hole.
I have sold out my HP RW6828 and gotten the Atom Life last week. I am in HK and Atom Life was released in HK on Feb 28.
So far it is great! I am satisfied it more than my old RW6828.
Hello,
is the Phonepad for Atom (that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=262768) compatible with Atom Life? thanks!
I am not sure. I didn't install that program.
Would you mind trying to install it please?
I just got my atom life too, and i wasn't too worried about not being able to upgrade to WM6. New OS's take notoriously long before the majority of software become compatible. Just look at the time taken for most software to convert from 2003 to wm5. I am sure by that time most users would've changed a phone, or someone would've figured out how to install wm6 in atom life.
I just heard back from O2 and here's what they said.
"Dear Greg,
Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
With reference to the issue that you have raised below, as you have noted, currently released O2 devices run on Windows Mobile 5 operating system. Please be informed that O2 Asia is currently looking into the possibility of Windows Mobile 6.0 devices (no further news as of this moment).
We do value the feedback you have provided with us. We will attempt to relay it to the relevant department for review and future possible action. We thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Once again no commitment. I tend to agree now with the above post, so many things still don't work with WM6 so I will stick to WM5 and skin it to look like Wm6.
Basically they say "we won't ever give you WM6 on already excisting devices, but in a while, when WM6 is starting to get stable, we may develop something that runs it". Atom Mark 4, I guess. And I totally agree, WM6 at the moment is far from leading edge. It's not even bleeding edge. It's moronic edge. Like WM5 when it came it's really only an Alpha system from what I have read in different tests. Like the original Atom. It took more than half a year from it came until it was truly a release version, not Alpha or Beta.
i allso don't think O2 will do it.. this is what i got from them.
Dear Ali,
Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
With regards to your query below, O2 Asia latest products (Xda Atom, Xda Zinc and Xda Stealth) are running on Windows Mobile 5, O2 Asia has not release any plans with regard to upgrading the Operating System of these product.
Should you require any further assistant, kindly reply to this email. Thank you.

Interesting with technical support personell who writes worse english than most Norwegian 16 year olds... Don't they have Word to spell and grammar check their mesages?
Couple of things I have yet to installed into my Atom Life.
1. Phone pad.
2. Portrait/Landscape view icon. I believe some PDAs have this feature for easy conversion of screen display by just tapping on the icon.
Actually, I installed Phone pad but apparently, it didn't seemed compatible as I believe it's for Atom Exec. Is it due to version difference? As for the Portrait/Landscape icon, is there a link here for the upload? Thanks!
Hi Folks,
I need a bit of help choosing my next PDA, I've had loads of pocketPC, windows mobile devices inc. HP Jornada 548, Tosh 540, Dell X5, iPAQ hx4700 but this will be my first forage into "convergance" devices.
I was originaly tempted to upgrade my phone to the Orange UK version of the HTC TyTN but i'm now getting cold feed with all this talk of new devices due out, I know there are always newer and better just around the corner but I don't want to jump into a 12 month contract just to find a newer and better unit being available next week.
My dilema is this.....after seeing the specs for the O2 Zinc with the Xscale 520Mhz processor and seeing the benchmarks against the TyTN I'm now more inclinded to wait the for the release of this Zinc (26th March 07), however on my travels through the tinternet I have stumbled upon what I would consider my ideal device...the HTC Kaiser, does anybody have any ideas which network will be carring this device and when it will be released????
I'm fairly sure the overwelling opinion on the site will be for the TyTN but I just need to know what makes this device a "No Brainer" compaired to the O2 Zinc.
Cheers Jim

Not really the answer you want, but my philosophy on life is, get the best you can today and not worry about what's out tomorrow... otherwise you'll never get anything because you'll always find that a month or so down the line something better will come out... so to say!
Otherwise, the Zinc does seem impressive... but O2 have already delayed the release once, so who's to say it will actually be out at the end of march anyway
True....Very True. The exception to that case was the iPAQ hx4700. which in my opinion is still one of the very best PDAs out there and its now 2 years old ???
I decided to hang back for the release of the Zinc hoping WM6 will be on it. have you tried flashing your rom to wm6??? if so did you have any problems setting the phone back up for T-Mobile??

I'll agree with you on that... I used to have a hx4700 myself... it was the VGA aspect that appealed to me, but I felt it was before its time... oh, and slightly big!
I think the Zinc will have v5.2 on it???
I've flashed my MDA several times and can almost memorise the internet/mms settings that takes approx. 2 mins to put back in... its all good fun
You may never flash WM6 on a Zinc...

Yeah - similar case here. I flash frequently and I could probably set it all back up again the way I like it with my eyes closed Top tip: get CAB files for all your favourite apps (and any relevant serial numbers) and keep them in a folder on your storage card. That way you can even get all set up from a full reset with nothing but your phone.

Absolutly agree.... I kept all my CAB files on my SD card..Just incase.. but that was WM03se. Is there a HTC "official" rom update available for wm6...where did the wm6 roms come from?? oh and whats the best...
back to the original question,
I own a TYTN and ive had good test run with the Zinc, even though the Zinc has a faster OS the tytn feels faster and reacts better. The finish of the Zinc is a big cheap looking too.
If i was to buy a new phone today it would be the Tytn again, if i was to wait then it would be kaiser or even one of the new samsungs.
Cheers lads.....Just bought a TYTN - Orange SPV M3100 to be more precise.
Now whats the score with all these ROM upgrades.
and is there a today plugin simliar to the Orange today screen
Problem with O2 is the data charges. They're probably the worst out of all the UK networks!
I'd hate to get a phone like the Zinc or Kaiser and have to constantly monitor my data useage.

That's far too big a question. You've got some reading to do - see the wiki
for the mods.. you can delete this message if you want...
i just want people warned specially in asia region that o2 zinc is not that good ..
although better processor ( but you will not see the difference compare to HTC hermes ),camera and o2 integrated software..
THere are many other choices on O2 products... Atom exec, atom life..etc..
Just not this is O2 Zinc is not worth recommending....
or im strongly recommending HTC HERMES (Dopod 838 pro, Softbank, or the HTC Tytn if available) if your fun of slide keyboard...
I promised you this will be a great help on you...
Trust me...
I just want you to be happy like me now..
Hi guys, as you probably know by now, i have close relation with HTC, on the recent phone call with their senior engineer, i have been giving the first hand information about the first UMPC device of HTC !!!
It's call the HTC Shift, is uses the similar design as HTC Kaiser (i assume you guys have seen this device).
Here is the confirm spec:
7-inch touchscreen, 30GB hard drive, Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, and Windows Vista.
I haven't got the chance to play with it yet, but my friend has and he says the key is very comfortable, fairly light weight. Built quality is very good, screen is amazing.
So when will be see this device? Well at the moment plan is for Q3, about the same time with Omni. So it's still quite a wait.
Below is a picture.
p.s. While i was posting this thread, i found out HTC has already post the info on their web! http://www.htc.com/
well, at least my post is still first hand in turns of spec

if so what about dopod u1000?

do you think that the u1000 will ship with the WM6

X7501 will have WM6 in built! So it means official WM6 ROM will be available around Summer.
Please also note the European HTC Advantage will only have WM5 for now.

yes, it runs Vista, this thread got a bit off topic because people are more excited about the WM6 upgrade rather then the new HTC Shift
anyway, i agree the size is quite big, my friend has already test it, and he say basically UMPC and PPC are two completely different product,which i totally agree.
got so tired of people trying to compare Athena with UMPC, i don't care that Athena cost like a UMPC, it has it's own advantage. And i will never want to run XP or Vista on my Athena as well.

Are you sure wu?
Now DOPOD is joint with HTC, so no more DOPOD brand even on asia... you can check at their web: www.dopodasia.com now they become www.asia.htc.com
Even HTC touch avaiable in asia with HTC brand...
Can you confirm or correct me?

From what I have been able to find out, it does not have a microphone, and you DO need a bt headset to use the phone functions.
I believe that the dual o/s is stupid tho! It is only due to the fact that m$ has not figured out how to make Vista work right yet as a stand-alone o/s, much less add telephony to an already EXREMELY buggy o/s!!
Hope this helps........Later

Hello!
I will buy one Meizu MX4 and I would like to know if there is anyone who has already one to know his impresions.
I have to say that I will buy it on Aliexpress ( china Price) and not in the Meizu Mart that is $150 more expensive
Thanks
I don't own a MX4 yet but I'm following it closely.
Today I read a very positive review made by HDblog.it, an important Italian website.
They say this device has good display, loud speaker and take great pictures.
They experienced some minor software glitches, but nothing major and we know that software issues can be corrected easily.
meizu mx4
I am also interested in Meizu MX4. But I am not sure about some points.
I can buy from China, but it will be Chinese model not global market model. Global market model is much more expensive.
So what are the differences beween these 2 models? I will use it in Europe, hence can I use both models or I do have to buy the global version.
There is also a watch accesorry for MX4, do you have any details for the watch?
Do anybody know how to get this dark theme and these quick toggles, that have no text label below?

I'm interested in the phone as well. There is review on http://chinese-smartphones.com which is pretty positive about the phone. They say the display is awesome and also very positive about the camera (which is Sony). Doubting if I will order one or stay with my Xperia Z1 compact

I'm waiting for a MX4
I have received my Meizu MX4 yesterday!
It's very good, it works fine and today i have installed via OTA the Flyme 4.0.3I.
I use it with Nova Launcher, because i don't like very much the original launcher and i was using it in my old S3.
The camera is superlative!!!!!! I shoot a photo of my keyboard, and i see each dust element between the keys! It's awesome!
Bye
TheJackall
you got a i version with bootloader unlocked .... with intl firmware
I just receive yesterday my mx4
Ist a m460 china with C at end of the firmware, the second chinese mx4 is with U at end of firmware from china unicom m461
Both chinese phone are same hardware and band
Finally my M460 work great in france all wcdma 3G and 4g band too fdd-lte
My guess they are all the same hardware
The only different is..
Both chinese are locked bootloader.. so can flash only chinese rom (C, U or A non branded rom)
And intk version is bootloader unlocked so you can flash all firmware
Engineer mode (for checking band)

custom rom
any mx4 owner here that knows any custom rom for this phone?
I hate flyme. I like the knock to wake, but this is laggy. And I can't change my default messaging app.
Thanks!
No custom room....
No custom rom yet.
But in meizu official forum, the adm agree with cyanogen developer to give the things to develop the custom rom.
So, I hope soon we wiil get a good custom rom for this lovely device

Are there different roms? The provider claims norwegian language, but not on my phone?

Not yet. At the moment we have only flyme OS 4.0, by Meizu, based on Android 4.4. Soon we will have Cyanogem rom and ubuntu phone.
About norwegian language, I can't help you
Ok.. Well- i guess we need a custom rom for this phone- even a "standard" android would do.. i dont think flyme is any good at all- and their "back button" functions doesnt work.. even on google play when you watch screenshots, you cant get out of it..
Are there 100% sure that cyanogenmod will come?
For me Flyme Is bugged and lagging the phone
Anyone know the best deal for the mx4 at the moment?

I really doubt that you will get a huge amount on custom Roms for this phone, maybe CM, but when? This phone is designed for enjoying fast interaction, for taking nice photos, for playing in high resolution... but not for flashing Roms... Blame mediatek for not releasing the source code. I really like this phone, but the unavailability of Roms is a no go for me...
"Droidfish test" on Meizu MX4
@TheJackall @supercowz @Hwoarang04 ...everyone
Could someone 'benchmark' MX4 with Droidfish?
It could be 'top' with its MTK6595...
1) Install Droidfish on play. google:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.petero.droidfish
2) Clear all apps in background (hold home and swipe them away) and then run droidfish.
3) Press the menu button, invoke "Settings", choose "Threads" and select "Automatic", and then press back button to get back to chess board.
4) There is button with label "M" below chess board. Press it and choose "Analysis Mode". Analysis will start. Keep it running for about 1 minute.
5) After 1 minute passed, read and record the "knps": number at bottom of the screen. This is the measurement I'm interested in. This value is a number of positions searched per second (in thousands). The higher the better.
6) IMPORTANT: To force program to STOP thinking, press "M" button again, choose "Two players" so that analysis will stop. Post the results here with rom information (optional). Stock rom is preferable but other roms are welcomed.
Thank you!

Yes, you're right, but will the Exynos of MX4 PRO release the source?
And why mediatek or any other cpu/soc producer for smartphones will not release the source code?I mean if they release the code there will be more custom stuff and it will be a good point for a smartphone android.
