According to a guy here, it comes in English and is branded HTC rather than MDA.

If you go through that thread, a guy in Greece says he cannelled his order on Expansys and ordered from those German guys.
He says he should hav it by tomorrow (tuesday 23 November).
He also said that it was in English and branded as HTC although the picture says T-Mobile.
1) Yes, they have it in stock.
2) No it's a T-mobile branded
3) No the OS is in german and they are waiting for a good flash to flash it in english. They will probably have this flash this week
Yes exactly, the update arrives thursday for english language.
Whats more interesting: The upgrade will (as stated on the expansys forum) be published as download (so you will have to do the "upgrade" yourself.
If anyone gets his/her handon this, please remember to at least post the IntelliPad (aka T9) and Intellidialer CAB files from the ExtROM . . . . .
To get acces to the ExtROM: After a hard reset after doing the initial settings (like calibrating), do a soft-reset (so the customisations wont be run. Voila: Its open. The copy the needed cab's off . . .and post them here
To continue working with the device do another hard-reset and then follow the normal procedure.
Lots of Himalaya users will be very thankful!

I spoke to a guy on their phone lines.
He says they've been expecting them since last week but it hasn't come yet.
Apparently, it's due to shipping issues as the goods have been despatched from Taiwan.
Gotcha. I just ordered one from nowicom.com (MDA Compact in German) and will receive Friday (hopefully). :lol:
I'll let you know when it comes about flashing to English. 8)

This is me. I wasn't logged in.
Hi guys,
First post on this forum but likely not the last one, given that I'm planning to buy a MDA compact asap.
With that in mind, I've a couple of hours to spare in Frankfort airport on Monday:
- Any chance I find a SIM-unlocked version?
- Any chance I find the same with a EN ROM?
- Will the nowicom EN ROM be downloadable by everyone (or will a code be required)?
Belgo
T-Mobile sells them in Netherlands with WWE (English) ROM.
Locked though. Big chance all MDA Compacts are sim-locked as they are subsidised by T-Mobile with a subscritpion (not sold without one)
Edsub,
thanks for the answer but assuming you are right, where are the versions from nowicom coming from then? I thought they were selling Sim-unlocked (but still T-mobile branded).

Hi All,
I found this link on the Expansys forum http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/Products/type/phones/ProductID/5654/NetworkID//I-Mate_JAM.asp
I don't know if it is really in stock but for those that want an iMate on cotract, it might be a good deal.

I'd phone them and make sure it's in stock if I was thinking of buying from them.
Just phoned them.
The guy I spoke with said they had them in stock but that batch has already gone out.
They should have some more by Wednesday.
Not in stock then.
Those guys (phones2udirect) seem a bit slippery to me. Their web site says "in stock" for that item. I called and asked a sales guy about it. He said that they dont have any right now but they hope to get some by the middle or end of this week.
The I asked him why, if that is correct, they show it as "in stock"? After all there must be people who are putting their credit card info on line and being charged, for an item these guys do not have! He then said, "well we are taking orders and then we'll get them an ship them out" SO I said "we'll that's no IN_STOCK, thats ON ORDER", isn't it? He really didn't have much to say after that.
So be careful. They are not honest at all. If you have problems with the phone, it would probably be even worse.
Yeah, I thought it was too good to be true. I am actually waiting for a Jam from Expansys. I don't live in the UK so I have to buy one without contract in my country anyway. I guess the guys that bought from Newcom in Germany still don't have their English language ROMs yet. I think I'll stick with an English imate Jam.
Matt
OK, for those interested in how many units Expansys is receiving, I was told by French Expansys that in total they would be getting 1,000 iMate Jams (for all countries) and the backorder is only 300. It looks like all orders will get filled when the shipment arrives

Doesnt really say much hey!!!
:roll:
mm Like lot of people I was expecting this price http://x.msmobiles.com/portal/images/o2/xda-exec-4-big.jpg ( £229 max ) and not £399 (I even have the catalogue in front of me it's not a fake.. and asked several without answer during the chat
Second things that I tried to get the price spec through o2.co.uk/xda has advertised ( redirection to http://www.my-xda.com/ ) and no trace of the exec and http://shop.o2.co.uk/cgi-bin/o2uk/j...set.do?pageMode=null&manufacturer=o2&x=13&y=2 doesn't have any trace of the exec too.
I participate to the chat ( and been logout during the chat by the flash application - irc would have been better for that but it worked otherwise so.. ) ;
The software should have a signature but could be installed if forced. I guess that orange UK will give the price of the same device before 3rd of October.
And TG has well played the game because he got a HTC for free lucky you
And why did you tell that USB HOST was working the 02 guy has by several times said that it wasn't active and didn't even know from where the rumor is from ...
Few questions has been asked without answer like the quality of the graphic card and such.
I think the XDA exec seems to be really good but was expecting it cheaper ( wasn't expected to have a £35-40/months contract for 12 months too ) I might wait december to get an upgraded pack or similar + cheaper (hope soo)
Any news?
Although the XDA mini PRO is listed by HTC as on O2 product, I have not heard anything at all about this product and feel they are most likely to bypass it for the ATOM (not an HTC product)
O2 UK are calling it Xda Mini S and releasing Nov/Dec.
hmmm, thats strange, According to this PDF chart from HTC O2 are calling the wizard the XDA mini PRO. I haven't seen the name XDA mini S anywhere ?
Its on the o2 in store systems as the "XDA Mini S" as yet there no release date or price. If you go to an o2 shop they will show the details they have.
Also Ornage have confirmed that they will release this as the SPV M600

Its probably referring to O2 Asia not O2 UK. I see they list the Xda II mini which never released by O2 UK. It also lists XphoneII which O2 UK released as Xda sp.
If Atom isn't a HTC device why is it listed?
I rarely bother myself with branded devices as I despise them and only buy unbranded devices so it snot surprising I haven't heard of thsi different name.
But for interest, do you have a link for reference please? even on the O2 coming soon page I don't see it.

The "Road Map" PDF doc was produced by MS-Mobiles I think.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2436.html
Coolsmartphone reports that the Qtek 9000 will be on 3 over the next comming months (probably never or in Autumn :shock: )
Thats good news for you lot looking for operator settings :wink:
Coolsmartphone is surprised at them picking Qtek over making its own brand. Probably because operators want to move out since HTC is releasing its own brand and because Qtek are the only manufacturer to give A2DP.
Off topic... what do you think is going to happen to i-mate now HTC is merging Qtek and Dopod into the HTC brand? I read on MSMobiles that i-mate plans to release over manufacturers devices and not the O2 Atom!!! It becomes more interesting now and lets hope that operators keep on selling HTC handsets.
Hiya
So it looks like there is a 'new' Xda out called the 'Trion' - I have a fave site and was checking out the new Sony UX when I saw this listed.
http://dynamism.com/xda-trion/main.shtml
Sorry if everyone else knows of it, I certainly didn't!
It looks very nicely specced indeed! I think the only thing missing is a built in GPS receiver (for my requirements anyway!)
It even says the 'predecessor' was the Vario et al
The screenshot shows it as an 'Xda' with an O2 splash image on it...
I'm about to check out the O2 website and see if its there !!
Anyone know where to get one? $999 USD is the site price, add on $40-50 USD for shipping to the UK, then add on VAT etc I don't want to buy from Dynamism - ordinarily I might have if I'd been visiting the USA sometime soon!
If I cant get one - then I'm just going to get a Xda Mini S...
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!
Thanks dennis - as far as i am aware nobody has picked up that link - the uk link is here http://uk.dynamism.com/xda-trion/main.shtml
I prefer the trion to the tytn which i think is a bit ugly.
It is available in Taiwan and the name is Dopod CHT9000 and it is pretty ugly too ..looking forward to XDA Trion :lol:
