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.
I've looked all over the web and in here, but I cannot see anything related to it...
does anyone know of a solution to the problem of Money 2002 not having a WM2003 compatible port?
Basically it would seem only Money 2004 has a version that will work with WM...surely there is a patch or something out?
Cheers
Anthony
I have heard that O2 will be releasing their version of the Windows Mobile 2003 upgrade for XDA.Anyone having extra information please let me know!im dying to get the new upgrade!
Thanks
Does anyone have any idea when we may be able to use Blackberry connect on the IIi. I bought this particular model because of the performance benefits and with the knowledge that in 'Spring' O2 would release a ROM for blackberry connect. Well spring has come and gone and in typical fashion, UK service providers continue to let down their customers with empty promised of further rom updates. If any O2 person reads this forum, all I'm asking for is some information about the release date. My O2 corporate account manager told me yesterday that O2 have no immediate plans for a ROM update so whats going on? If you're saying your going to release an update and then miss the date, please have the curtesy yo let your customers know. :x
How funny! I was just about to ask a simillar question.
I've been (trying to) using an XDA2 with a BES4 server & the BB update. It is not good & flaky. At the moment it won't stay working for very long. I've tried several XDA2's & none better than others.
I was going to try an XD2i & wanted to come on here to ask experiences.
I was under the impression that the BB client currently out worked as is on the XDA2i ??
It's not included on the O2 ROM, though if you know of a separate client I can install - let me know...
There *used* to be one on the O2.co.uk site under upgrades. It was a 250K file that you ran & installed itself onto the 1.72 ROM.
Its not on the website now
I was hoping I'd d/loaded & saved it but I can't find it at the moment. It was an .exe
Anyone help?

That ROM is meant for XDAII.
I am disappointed as well that O2 did not materialize their promise to release Blackberry for XDAIIi. I have made the switch from XDAII (blackberry on 1.72) to XDAIIi and suffered without Blackberry.
I know that ROM is meant for XDA2 but there was (at some point) a file that you could run that installed BB onto it without running a full ROM update.
Now the added file here from the Extended ROM adds BB functionality to an XDA2. I'm guessing that this is what that d/load was. Anyone want to test it on an 2i ?
I was brave enough to try. The software installs successfully but thats all. It doesn't appear to connect with the desktop client and the desktop client is telling me that the software is not installed on the XDA. Hum-ho!

You can install both the desktop config and blackberry client on your XDAIIi but RIM won't connect for you. There seems to be a check for authorised version.
In the past, I have tried on different ROM version on XDAII e.g. WM2003SE 2.06 but failed. It worked only after I change my XDAII to official UK O2 ver 1.72. Therefore I concluded that unless the ROM you use is official ROM version meant for blackberry, all other version will fail.
I'm confused, some people here seem to be talking about BES, others I think maybe talking about internet mail which works differently.
What versions are everyone trying to connect to, I might be able to help??

There *IS* a client for IIs and IIi, but there are problems with ActiveSync that are holding back it's release (RIM/Microsoft problem).
What do you want? software with a bug in it that will cause you to complain even more?
:roll:
I have been told it is coming out 17th Oct from O2.
Encouraging, the 17th Oct is exactly the same date that o2 have given me on Wednesday, I was told that the o2 site would be updated and the new ROM would be available and includes BB Connect...
These updates used to be available from the developer site prior to release, where has the developer site disappeared to, I can no longer find this any more
Lets wait and see....

Hi Southern Man
Looks like we are nearly there then! :wink: Can you tell me if the version you have been trialing has the "delivered" and "read" functionality similar to the RIM pagers?

Hi,
Does anyone already have a solution? This is the only, but big drawback that I have with my Qtek 9000.
Thanks,

Does that allow you to receive faxes to your device?
It doesn't work
Hi,
I tried that software, but it's only to view fax files, it does not allow to send or receive faxes.
i'll keep looking for a working alternative.
Thanks,

Hi
I found this one on a Yahoo Group:
http://www.samtechnc.com/eng/introduction/mfax_intro.htm
It should work on my Qtek 9000, but i was not able to try, because i don't have enough skills for that.
Maybe someone here can try and post their experiences
Mfax is for PocketPC 2003. I asked them when they may make it available for WM5 and got the following reply;
"Right now we do not know if and when we will be able to support Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phones with our software.
The problem is that the modem i.e. network manufacturer (Qualcomm with their CDMA network) is not supporting fax class 1 or 2 in their system. Therefore we are not able to support the WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones (or the CDMA based WM 2003 Pocket PC Phones). Furthermore HTC is - due to the lack of support from Qualcomm - not able to support us either.
So we are stuck in the middle. As long as Qualcomm doesn't set a higher
priority to the fax class support within their network (modem) we can do
nothing about this issue.
As soon as they would change this issue we would immediately be able to
support WM 5.0 Pocket PC Phones as well as CDMA phones using their network.
Frankly, I do not think that this issue will be solved soon. Faxing is still
seen as not important by the big companies (which I certainly do not agree, but we do not have a lobby or a direct contact person at Qualcomm, who has the power to change this)."
Maybe we should start lobbying Qualcomm.
We are MFaxCE's developer
We are the developer of MFaxCE. Actually, we have already ported our MFaxCE to WM5.0 successfully, but we found that HTC have changed a lot or haven't open the port for fax on WM5.0 device, we still fail to send/receive fax on WM5.0 right now.
However we are working with some manufacturer who is willing to modify their driver to make our MFaxCE capable of fax on their WM5.0 device. And we are also looking forward that HTC can do some modification or disclose some information to us, so that we can make MFaxCE compatiable with all the HTC WM5 device.
We will keep you posted about any news in the future!
