Orange SPV M500 - novice questions!!!

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!
Tom

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

QTEK 2020i vs S200 vs G200

Hi,
I'm planning to buy the G200 (out this summer normally? - anyone know exactly when + startprice?).
Now i'm having the 2020i, very satisfied, but G200 has integrated GPS.
Maybe i'll buy the S200 before (if it takes too long for G200).
Anyone knows a site where you can see a comparison in size from the S200 & 2020i next to each other? Heard it's quit smaller.
Thanks,

Qtek 2020i = Dpod 696i ?

Hi everybody,
I woud like to know whether Qtek 2020i is the same as Dpod 696i?
I've read some sites and seen that there're many differents chinese WM5 installed on 696/696i !!

So if 2020i=696i than I'm going to flash mine! Can someone confirm this??
Thanks!

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

696i is an HTC Himalaya
No more WM5 dream...

Broken display :-(

Hi,
Yesterday my Qtek 2020i's display broke.
Repairing will cost 200 EUR, this is too much if you can get one new for 350 EUR.
However, I found this display:
http://cgi.ebay.at/orginal-Display-...QQihZ012QQcategoryZ123195QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It says, that it's also compatible with XDA 2i and MDA 2i but Qtek 2020i is not listed (only 2020).
Can I make sure that Qtek 2020i is the same as XDA 2i?
And, more important, the model number for the selled display is: 60H00022-00
I opened my Qtek but my model number is 60H00022-03 :-(
Does anybody know if that display will also work?
If not, I've a big problem!
Are there other solutions then?
Thank you very much in advance!
Niki

Qtek 2020i is the XDAIIi, yes.

If you are competent in DIY repair, try E-Bay for parts.
Keywords: Dopod 696 screen
The screen component is made up of 2 essential parts, the touch screen digitizer and the LCD screen.
Let hope not all of your two components are broken.
If the digitizer is cracked, the cost is rather low.

Xdai Mda2 display differences

Hi i'm new to this post so sorry if i ask a question wich was answered often. (yes i allready used the search engine) I'm also not an naturally english speaker (i'mgerman) so also sorry for my bad english.........
so after all these my question
i have several spare parts for an mda2 laying around here. And i now found a really good looking XDA 2i on ebay with a broken display. Does anybody know if the mda 2 and the xda2i have the same display connector.So i could take my tft from a mda2 and replace the broken one on the xda2i .i think i heard something that some types of this Pda have different ones. But i was not sure if it concerns the xda 2i.
thx for answering

hi, take care with that
sorry , but the XDA IIi connector is different from the mda 2
compatibility is : qtek 2020/ o2 xda II / Tmobile MDA II/HTC himalaya/orange spv m1000
Qtek 2020i / Dopod 699 / O2 Xda IIi / i-mate PDA2 / Orange SPV M1500 / Orange SPV M2500/HTC ALPiNE or Andes
take care. i may have a screen for sale, i m french, mail me on [email protected]

So display from Qtek 2020 and the o2 xdaII have the same display connector ?

Recently my QTek 2020 connector broke, and I bought a T-Mobile MDA II , but the motherboard and the screens where different
