hi all,
simple questions i know but i just wanted to make sure of a few things before i go ahead and purchase this!
is the SPV M500 basically the same as the imate jam and Qtek s100 etc??? because i hate all the orange branding crap they put on their phones so will be lookin to put the qtek or imate rom onto the phone asap! will this be possible? i also need to unlock it so i can use a dual sim adapter and use both my o2 and orange sims in it - will the unlock solution for the rest of the magician devices work for the spv m500? has anyone tried?
secondly have people used Tom Tom 5 with this phone? can you report if the devices worked well together and give a stable solution?
thanks and SORRY for the stupid questions!

svp 500 vs qtec s100
the svp 500 is similar to the qtec s100, but not the s100. The svp 500 is also known as the Qtec S110.
I might be talking under correction here, but I understand the S110 has a new ROM which is not the same as the latest S100.
I don't think there is much difference the 2 phones, other than that your memory is 128 instead of the 64 for std qtec s100s. The outside of the svp has also changed slightly, so has the colour.

This is not true! the Orange M500 is exactly the same as the MDA Compact, Qtek S100, VPA etc. The only thing that is different is the looks. The M500 is somthing less round and is in darkish gray. The Qtek S110 is a Qtek S100 with 128Mb Ram Thats it!
thanks for that rvbcrs,
I did mention the differences which were the same as yours.
For instance, you can not buy the mda compact / vpa compact / ijam or any of the other's stylusses, since they've changed the s110's stylus and it will not fit. I've also been told the the Rom is versioned otherwise, which may be so / not.
It is really the same thing, but what i tried to say is that it is definately improved (only a bit) and like the rom hacks might be different.. those type of things.. but hey, if you've got the same phone you probably know better.
thanks again for your input on this
The vpa compact/orange spv have much better sound quality than jam/mda etc!Also they are only 64mb just different housing!
The vpa compact/orange spv have much better sound quality than jam/mda etc!Also they are only 64mb just different housing!you'll be able to get rid of most of the orange "crap" once you get it.Just go to add/remover programs and remover the orange software that gets rid of the visible things + interface etc
thanks very much for the replies guys!
in general does anyone have any experience of Tom Tom navigator 5 and any of the magician devices? do they work well together? i have heard that tom tom 5 drains the full processor power for the entire time it is running which has led to critical overheating of some devices and the phone functions and for that matter any other functions cant run at the same time due to the work that tom tom 5 puts on the processor!!! is this true?!
thanks,
Tom
i'm running tt5 on my vpa.it works fine.lt does use a great deal of the cpu but you can't use other programs when the navigator is on anyway!no overheatirg problems.tt5 works better than tt3 for me when all patches are applied as l struggled to answer calls on tt3 as it ran so slow but tt5 is better!pm me for more
Hi,
i'm planning to buy a new Qtek 2020i (PDA2) and I want to be sure that (when will be available) I can install windows mobile 2005.
And another little thing, the screen is more visible with the sun light compared to the S100 - Jam ???
Thanx to everybody !
Bye
No you can't, and it's the same screen technology as the Jam, but bigger.
Apart from colours and keyboar shade, what r the key differences between the Imate and Qtek ?
Looking to possibly get one from www.expansys.com but curious which (Imate or Qtek) supplier to opt for?
Who provides best update and service/support?
Thanks in advance.
Hi to all, I'm using T-Mobile MDA compat II (i-mate Jam 128mb WM5) and I'm thinking to upgrade to the new Prophet.
Does anyone knows all the upgrades between these two?
And another question- Will the new Prophet fit to the Jam cases and cradles?
Many thanks from London :lol:

I would like to know if it will work as well
Qtek 2020i = Dopod 699
Thanks clustered for the answer
What a bad news...
So Dpod 696i is not an HTC Alpine as mentionned in wiki.xda-developers.com
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=361
Obviously Dopod 699 (Alpine) = Qtek 2020i , they have the same specifications
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=359
696i is an HTC Himalaya
No more WM5 dream...
