I had a reply from Carrier Devices, The manufacture of the QTEK1010 (XDA).
I sent the following email:
I am interested in obtaining an upgrade for my QTEK1010 PDA. I'm after Windows Mobile 2003. Is this obtainable or is it going to be. According to Microsoft's web site, you the OEM are the people to talk to about this. Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Jason Moodie
I recieved the following email:
Dear Jason,
Microsoft Mobile 2003 represents several major feature enhancements to Pocket PC 2002, especially in the connectivity and mobility aspects where the Qtek 1010 is very strong. As Microsoft has just released the new upgrade there will be a short delay for us to finalise the other elements we need to add to the operating system in order to complete our devices. We will be providing an upgrade at an additional cost once our integration is complete and we have checked the compatibility of existing applications with Microsoft Mobile 2003.
Best regards,
John Williamson
I am requesting a ETA on this upgrade. I will keep you informed.
Has anybody heard something about the upcoming RIM Client for PPC - so that i can use my qtek 2020 with "BLACKBERRY"-Funktions

Its good & bad news. There IS a PPC client but it will not be sold separately... Seems like it will be sold bundled with certain phone edition devices through certain carriers... D'Oh!

RIM to turn Windows phones into virtual Blackberries
Software in development
By INQUIRER newsdesk: Monday 23 April 2007, 12:18
RESEARCH IN MOTION (RIM) said it is making a software app that will turn Windows Mobile devices into virtual Blackberries.
The Canadian firm says the software will run on devices running Windows Mobile 6.0 and offer Blackberry functions.
Devices running the BlackBerry application suite will be able to connect to BlackBerry services via BlackBerry Enterprise Server as well as BlackBerry Internet Service.
Mike Lazaridis, president and co-CEO at Research In Motion said the software, "will provide a range of important benefits, including easier support of Windows Mobile-based devices within BlackBerry Enterprise Server environments, a consistent user interface for BlackBerry applications across various devices, and the ability to run third-party applications developed for the BlackBerry platform."
The software should ship this autumn. µ
Long time lurker, first-time poster.
I'm after some advice concerning using Windows Mobile in a corporate environment. My company is currently dishing out Blackberry RIM devices to anyone who needs email on the go, but we've got a really stable and secure AD infrastructure, and are going to go with WM ASAP for email, contacts, web etc etc etc.
Anyway, I've been tasked to bring these devices into the company properly; making sure the devices are fit for purpose, making sure that there's hardware support, and...making sure that they can be managed from our Service Desk, which is where I need some input.
I've used SOTI's Pocket Controller in the past and immediately had this in mind to deal with remote management. MobiControl takes this several steps forward and really does tick every box. I've scoured the 'net for other remote management/administration apps, but have more or less hit a blank. The only one that can be considered close is IntelliSync, but seems to fall over in several areas. Does anyone know of any other remote admin apps out there that can operate over wireless/cellular data connections? At the very least, I cannot deliver a choice of one to choose from, although I can't imagine anything else coming close to MobiControl.
Thanks, and well done everyone - top top site!

Do you use Exchange 2003? Either standalone or as part of SBS2003?? If so, Exchange 2003 SP2 has the MSFP (Messaging and Security Feature Pack) included, which allows remote administration - and remote wipe - of Windows Mobile devices (especially if they run Windows Mobile 6.0!!).
Another product from MS is the new System Center Configuration Manager (replacement for SMS) - this includes mobile device provisioning. There's a 120-day trial available, but I'm not sure when/if the product has been released yet. See this link for more details.
My company will be looking into SCCM in the new year as, at last, some of our senior execs are just getting wise to the possiblility of getting their email on the move (We won't be touching those "dark coloured fruit" devices with a long stick!!).
Cheers,
Mark.
Thanks Mark,
Yep - we're running Exchange 2K3 but I'm not sure what service pack we're on. I think our Exchange team are in the process of upgrading to 2007 - hopefully, this will also include some Windows Mobile goodies.
Most of our devices are WM5; I'm the only one running WM6, but most of the devices we're looking at are WM6.
One of my colleagues were talking to our Orange account manager a couple of days ago, and they mentioned Mobile Device Manager 2008. I will check out System Centre - thank you for the pointer.
Just out of interest, what line of business is your company in? From my converations with the other Groups within my company, the scope of this "investigation" has become rather large! Initially, it was going to be a straight swap for the PIM functions of the Blackberry, but I'm also now looking at GPS navigation via longitude and latitude co-ordinates, barcode scanning, printing via Bluetooth AND across the cellular data link, and a few other small (but useful) functions.
Can of worms...pop!
