Hello,
Could you post what ROM updates are available at that site? As my IMEI doesn't work there, i cannot log-in
Do you have an IMEI that belongs to them? Maybe post a list of whatever stuff they have there?
Or better yet PM me your IMEI
I needed an imei of qtek, too
RE
Not to disappoint you all but the site does NOT have a section for ROM updates
Keyed in my IMEI no. and was told to visit
http://www.teleservice.com/teleservice_start.php
for hardware service
:roll:
Same happened to me, i was directed to teleservice.
There's another site www.qtek9000.nl with a lot of posts and one section saying QTEK 9000 ROM but problem is it is not in English, anyone knows their language, maybe they have a beta rom or something
That site is run by an enthusiast, not an official QTek site. It's a Dutch site, so the language there is Dutch. Official Dutch QTek site (and arguably the one with the best support for QTek devices, as most of the official ones have none at all... makes me almost wish I'd gotten a K-Jam instead... hello ClubIMate!) is www.qtek.nl .
Anyway, there's nothing in the that ROM area that isn't on this site - actually, this site is one of the main places looked at for news and developments

If you think Imate's support is great, think again. Their website may provide you with decent support (although it's so slow, I can travel to London on a Concorde before I download one of their RMUs), but overall Imate support leaves A LOT to be desired. I have been fortunate with my Jam despite a million falls and mishaps, but most people who have required Imate support have not been very pleased. There are large threads on HoFo (and I think here) about it.
d'oh...
Well, I'm really not expecting any of the phone providers to be particularly excellent in the support arena. So I guess that leaves Dopod - how's their support? Other than it being the Asian market %)

haha - nothing offensive, I assure you
If they have a plain-English website, might be worth a peek... but overall, any Dopod owners with service&support experience from them?

I don't know about Dopod, but one of the reasons I have held off on the JasJar is because I intend on getting an Exec from the UK. OK, fine, the support outside the UK is sketchy, but at least IN their market, you have decent coverage. I travel frequently enough to make an exchange or repair if I have to. I suggest that if you live in Europe, you look at this option.

Does any of the two have anything more to offer or is the price the only difference?
Thanks
Hardware is the same, differences are only in the ROM and maybe the case (not sure about them, google images and see if they have the same colours!)
Hi,
You I've alreayd seen the cases and I like the qtek case more, the imate case looks abit cheap imho.
Since the difference is only the rom, what are the exact differences? Do you get any extras with either? Is one faster or has better power management?
Over here the imate kjam is a bit cheaper but I was planning on getting the qtek case the case looks better.
I dont have personal experience with either ROM, i'm using the O2 UK shipped ROM installed without any of the O2 extra's. Search the forums for ROM details, there are several posts i've scanned recently about what ROM has what extras

The i-mate extended rom contents are on the ftp server here, so you could install Backgammon, or even the virus scanner from the i-mate onto the qtek (if you felt the need ). Alternatively, you could reflash one with the complete rom image from the other... Apparently, the i-mate case is made from unobtanium (or some other rare, strong and light alloy) whereas the Qtek is made of plastic (it might be aircraft grade, radiation proof and glow in the dark, but it's still plastic). My XDA is similar to the i-mate being all silver, but sitting with one of each on my desk, neither is a bad choice. I-Mate do offer much better direct end user support, whereas Qtek seem to mostly hide behind distibuters.
Just my $0.02

I did say "better", not "good"
At least you lucky i-mate users have a customer service contact to ignore you, we poor Qtek users don't even have that (unless you're Dutch, Swedish or a couple of other nationalities). I can visit a couple of Qtek websites, but none of them accept my IMEI as valid, so I'm stuck several layers down through distributers and retailers... If it wasn't for this site, I could get very old and grey waiting for ROM updates from clubqtek.com (if there was one)
Before I hit "Submit", I did a quick Google and it seems there's now a QtekUK.com site with a forum and the promise of ROM updates. So far, it has a handful of posts, and an even smaller number of replies from Qtek people, and no ROM's, but it is a start... :|

I had a change to look at both the K-Jam and the 9100 before I bought my K-Jam.
I bought the K-Jam because the screen is much brighter than that of the 9100 with the brightness set at maximum.

Don't be sucked in by all that [email protected]! i work on aircraft and know that anything - especially aluminium cases - which are aircraft grade (normally aren't a/c grade by the way) are pointless! Aircraft grade materials are useless for 99% of aplications (strangely phones fall in the 99%) unless you expect you phone to be flying at 30,000 feet!
Give me cheap but stronger materials anyday!

qtekuk.com is just a front end website for smartdevicesdirect, so it's unclear how closely they are linked to qtek themselves.
I want to purchase a PDA-Phone based on the Hermes platform A.S.A.P.
I would like to hear the opinions of people that saw more than one version of these devices, in order to make an... "inspired" choice.
There is one limitation though: the PDA-Phone mustn't be one of the ones that were branded by carriers (e.g. I can't buy the Orange SPV M3100, the Vodafone one etc.). There is a good reason for this so there's nothing I can do about it.
One other thing: there's no issue about where to buy the phone. I can get it. Just recommend something nice!
Thank you in advance for all your posts !

I think your choices are the HTC TyTN or a QTEK. Go to expansys to see the devices, and frankly if cost is no object, just buy from them too.

Yeah, probably you want to give him your bank account information and address so he can order the phone for you on your behalf. And possibly fetch the phone for you from your front door to your bedroom while you lie on your bed

what is the cheapest one? in Dubai, it has been introduced for 1350 USD which is too much. anything closer to 1100 USD from any markets?
P.S. i saw the black one yesterday, for the first time, and the baby is gorgeous. the pictures you see and videos of the devicde dont do it justice IMO. it looks smaller than i thought and it looked sleek and beautiful!
thanks!
The device you saw in Dubai.....was the ROM arabic enbaled? Or it was only english?
Keyboard was also having arabic letters?
Thanks in advance.
it was english. the arabic version will not be introduced until the end of this month.
the upgrade will be offered for free. im not sure how they will approach the keyboard issue though!
me in Saudia....I purchased here for SR-5000 or USD-1300.
It is in english....I tried the arabitizer software (imignet) of universal and P3600 to alteast make it recongnize arabic and have a arabic virtual keyboard on screen....But unfortunately it didnot work....I think it is not compatible with the Advantage's ROM.
hmmm..
perhaps htc will release some updated roms soon. the guy told me it is going to be available on their website and on a CD!!
not sure but how often do you use the physical keyboard? isnt the virtual one more usable in general?
it looked sweet though. bu ttoo expensive. perhaps the price will drop a bit once the nokia E90 is released (end of this month from what i have been hearing).
for me its a choice of of the following:
-advantage
-E90
-E61i
E61i has a very favorable price tag which i may got for eventually. but the black advantage looked really sweet!
yes, virtual key board is awesome....and arabic on it would be just perfect....I do not carry keyboard...only advantage...
Well I also thought about E90...but I was unable to make comparison....because one is symbain and another runs windows-5...there are thousand things that we can run on WM OS....that we can not on symbian....E-90 will only play movies in MP-4 and rm version (this sucks).
It is having the same GPS chip and software that N95 is having and tell you what, GPS on N95 is hopeless and a major disappointment.
I heard the way we play on multiple programs on Advantge, it is not possible very effectiely on E-90 because of low speed process and RAM. There is no TV output as well....and Mirco soft office compability and syncronization with E-90 is horrible as well.
So for me....HTC Advantage was the only choice and I am happy with it I just miss arabic on it though

I actually was going to purchase from them,because they state on their website that if you find merchandise cheaper somewhere else,they will match the price.The only thing is that i could not locate a phone number,address etc. anywhere on the website.Only an email address.When you are transferring that kind of money,you would like to speak to someone on the phone or have your nerves be at ease by knowing for a fact that it is not a scam.Same complications arose when the outbreak of the JASJAR arose.There were several people making ficticious websites scamming people.They also were price gouging people(charging 70.00 for shipping).So for me i like to speak to someone on the phone as well as be able to know that they are well established.No offense my friend.

Agreed. That's why I emailed them asking for the number and got a prompt reply with it. I wouldnt have ordered if I didn't have a number. I think the guys name Stan. Hope this helps.
even though it's still expensive
do u think The price will drop down a bit?
I got my JasJar when it was released about 1150$ and to be honest I don't want to pay this price on a Pocket PC again
Apparently due to the number of reported problems, vodafone are looking to stop selling the Xperia.
If this was story was fed by sales assistants from any high street shops i would not count on it at all.
Vodafone have not been known to pull back devices very easily, i mean look at the Blackberry Bold, a barely functional firmware when they released it and yet it is still on the shelves.
the only reason why this might be true is because they are releasing their own HTC android phone.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, they're taking on the Palm Pre GSM, which, in my opinion, is a fantastic device.

xperia is the worst phone i've ever had.
can't wait to sell it off!
Whilst not sure of the motive, it does seem true that the X1 is to be discontinued by Vodafone (UK).
What does that mean for those of us that just took out a contract with them under a month ago supposing we do have problems from here on out?
Stop supplying doesn't mean Vodafone stops supporting the X1

I have just got off the phone with a very nice gentlemen from HTC customer services.
He informed me that Vodafone are at current flatly refusing to support the HTC HD2 handset. They have NO plans to release a firmware update for the HD2.
He has had this confirmed by his management team as he gets a number of calls on a daily basis regarding the issue.
I opened a thread on the Vodafone forums informing their customers and am doing the same here on XDA: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49175
Feel free to comment in either thread.

That's pretty shocking really. I wonder if this constitutes some sort of breach of contract that you could use to get out of your contract without having to pay it out? If not then it should.

The issue lies with warranty and insurance! Quite a large issue if you are a Vodafone customer.
It shouldnt matter whether or not they are actually stocking the device any longer. After having the HD2 on their books for only two months and it being a new device to market, they must continue to support any firmware updates/fixes for the duration of the contracts of all their customers that have an HD2. This is surely a given?!
If they supply you with hardware that is necessary to use the services they also provide to you then it must be legally binding that they support any fixes (ie firmware updates) for the hardware supplied to ensure that it functions as the manufacturer intended.

How? You can always revert to the 'original version' and if device is so badly broken that you can't revert, HTC staff wouldn't be able to check ROM version as well.
Besides, if there is some clear hardware problem with your device (like broken button or speaker, screen not responding etc) I don't think HTC service is going to complain about ROM version, this would be just idiotic.. Has anyone any experience with HTC service and non-official ROMS? Frankly I don't think HTC cares, software modding is the whole point of getting HTC device in the first place for many, many people. I am also sure they are aware that many operators provide atrocious support for new ROMs and customers don't have any options.

Vodafone has nothing do to with this, it is HTC who services/fixes these devices. Vodafone may say many things, but ultimately phone goes to HTC service for repair and this whole 'custom ROM voids warranty' babbling is completely up to them.
Again - it would be just idiotic if HTC refused to fix obvious hardware problem because of 'custom ROM'.
It is like getting PC from DELL with Win XP preinstalled, then installing Linux on it and when i.e motherboard of disk fails, claiming warranty from Dell - nothing wrong with it.

This is true... the phone WILL go to HTC for repair. But that is not the issue. It is an entirely seperate issue that is somehow intertwined. Its all a bit of a mess really.

When you take out a contract with Vodafone they supply you with a phone that has a vodafone ROM on it. That's basically a stock ROM with some changes, either cosmetic, programmatic, or both. They are then perfectly within their rights to tell you that you will void the warrantly if you modify that ROM or replace it with someone else's. It's like getting a car under warranty and expecting to get it fixed for free, even though you've put a new engine in it.
It has NOTHING to do with HTC. This is part of your agreement with Vodafone.

Correct, one size does not fit all. All opperators customise the ROM to suit their needs. Installing a generic ROM from HTC on Vodafone or any other operator for that matter would not only void the warranty but would cause all manner of problems for the support department of each operator. Can you imagine how many customers would brick their device trying to upgrade? Even the most simple of instructions are not often followed correctly.
The Vodafone forum moderators now review all my posts before they display them!! All cus i posted a watchdog link!!
