Hi, just a quick question.
My Qtek s100 has died(repaired) for the 3d time, and that means that i can have a replacement phone. they asked me if i wanted my money back or a s200 instead(as the s100 is no longer available).
is the s200 as bad/slow as some say?. will i be dissapointed?
i want to be able to run tomtom5 on the s200. :?:
is there some other phone/pda that you recommend instead?
i need to send in the s100 tomorrow or tonight.
edit. i also have the qtek 8310(tornado) and that can be slow sometimes :?
Changen my s100(drowned ) on s200 about 2 weeks ago. No regrets at all. I love my Prophet

ok that sounds good, you are not feeling that its slow or something like that?. have you tried tomtom or overclock on it?
thanx!
I didn't try tomtom.
When overclock it works like... ferrari or smt I got latest ROM now and do not feel like i need to overclock it at all.

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
I am in the market and looking at the Jamin, I have the Imate Kjam and the biggest issues was that the Stylus would fall out, are there any reports with the Jamin having the same issue?
Also does the Jamin support push email as the latest ROM for the Wizard?
Thank you!
My stylus is fine... no issues. Only had the device 2 weeks though.... I too came from a Wizard and love the JAMin! I rarely used the keyboard so this is a much slimmer unit to carry for me... plus the longer metal stylus is a plus for screen tappers like me.
Latest ROM updates have AKU2 push email... imate's will be out soon. I am using the Qtek OS on my imate right now with good success...
Thank you that is exactly the comments I was looking for, my wife wants my Kjam but like you I rarely use the KB so was thinking of ordering the Jamin and handing the Kjam over to her.

Is this ROM out?
Is A2DP supported?
Hi All,
I appreciate all your help with this. I currently own a Magician and love the size factor of the Atom. Is everyone happy with their Atom and would you recommend getting one. I know the new ROM upgrade makes a huge difference in performance speed and such. Also, I read somewhere that the Atom does not have a button lock so you can only have the power on button work(have it in your pocket and not accidentally dial out, that sort of thing) Is this so, and if so has the new Rom upgrades added this feature or is there a way around it.
Thanks so much in advance.
Todd
I also forgot to ask: I have just downloaded the new Windows Vista and there is no longer activesync but a new program. Has anyone had any experience with Vista and will their Atom still sync?
Update the Vista using windows update and you will get the mobile sync function. Does not use activesync anymore. Read this info somewhere here :roll:
You might want to reconsider the Atom. Consider a Prophet or Wizard

Hmm...Why?!Are you used all this devices?I sure that you does not... :wink: Atom better,faster and more usefull (but also more expensive) than both Prophet and wizard.
If you like atom go and get one (or HP 6828 if you like it more),one device that may be better (if you realy need keyboard) and can also be considered its new 9600 (Hermes) - also great device,by far better than 9100 (wizard)
Well the Atom Exec release date is 4th July and it will be retailing for a price of $1130 and that include Bluetooth headset and IR keyboard. so your problem might well be solved, if you dont mind a matte grey case and dont mind paying an extra $280 over the HP then the Exec could be your bet.

I have used the K-Jam and the JAmin (Prophet and wizard) and currently having the Atom, can not compare, it is a lot better, faster, and more stable and has got more features. I rarly soft reset it.
I will hold on to it for a while
Atom
Thanks all for your advice,
I did buy the Atom and love it. Far superior to my old Magaician. Its love again!
Todd
Like Todd, I'm looking to upgrade my magician, I was looking at the Hermes, but I don't really want a real keyboard, but the Hermes looked to have all the right functions. Having look around, and getting confused by other brand names this is what I have concluded.
The prophet is the same as the wizard but without a keyboard, so hopefully the Atom is the same as the Hermes but also without a keyboard. I can't find any reviews to confirm my hunch so I hope someone can answer my question or tell me where I can look.
All I want is WM5, built in wifi, and fast (400 Mhz +) processor.
Does Atom have a jog dial like the Hermes?
What type of memory card.
Thanks in advance
fingers88,
the atom is its own brand (not htc) I have had it for over a month now and it rocks. kicks butt on the magician. it
is mini sd and no jog but it is not missed, buy it, you will be glad you did.
Todd
Iam an atom user... have been for 1 month...
and I have fallen in love with it...
it's my mobile buddy... a welcome upgrade from my xda2 since I divorced the love relationship, because it was too damn huge!
I recently dropped it from 5 ft to a stone tiled hotel bathroom and it survived 100%... just like my xda2 has done...
also a great thing about the atom is it hasa notch/hook on the top left corner for a lanyard... it is an ideal size for a lanyard too.
i've some major scratchesonthe plastic... but idont care about them... the screen is finewith a protector.

I want WM6 (Crossbow) for my Alpine too but I don't know why pof linked to the Linux thread? :?
Bug or feature?
Even WM5 not available for Alpine, how could WM6 will be available? Think about it!
Okay, you're right! A short but cool dream! :'(
how about wm6?..maybe it is easier to get it!!!
ok ok...I don't understand the real problem of our alpine, I had a 2020 in the past and I decide to change with the alpine thinking it was better (and it really is), but no one want to focuse the attention to wm5 or wm6 even if there is wm5 for the 2020...why??
we have more power, more memory, wifi ....what's the problem!!!
I am not an expert in this field,but a good informatic engineer could change wm5 for 2020 to one for alpine.
I am very upset beacuse a lot of programs are just for wm5...
when is WM6 or WM5 coming for Alpine as there is alot program that uses Wm5 nowsaday.
Really Wishes Alpine will resurrect from the day, as it became popular with it high specification and WM2003SE to present WM5 or WM6
Go Alpine...
Think it over,HTC shows no mercy to us who baught 699,Then we shall **** it up!
Why don't you do it

Hey everyone,
I'm considering upgrading from an E61 to a Hermes and wanted to get some specific info before I splurge I don't want to void my warranty so I would not be using any cooked/non-HTC roms on my phone.
Currently I like my E61 but I prefer WM to Symbian. Also, I find my e61 a little sluggish at times and hope the Tytn is faster.
Q1: Does Windows Messenger work perfectly fine in WM5 using Wifi? (Symbian lost Agile and now I don't have Messenger)
Q2: Is it possible to be happy with WM5 at this point or will I always want WM6 (ie; wait for Kaiser) (what are the KEY benefits of WM6 that i'll miss out on?) -- with my axim I preferred WM2003SE to WM5
Q3: Anyone else move to WM from Symbian? What did you like/dislike?
Thanks a lot!
Yes
Yes and
Yes!
WM5 is fine (although 6 is even better)... Messenger works fine over Wifi.
As with Symbian, the only problem you have is if you install buggy third party apps!
newbie to WM5
hello
I had a P910i before my Vario II, i waited for the P990 and decided it wasn't worth the wait
since i've got my new phone over two weeks ago, i've become a geek at trying to add new programs, change my today screens etc......
you can spend literally hours doing this and I never bother with my P910 its such fun
and then there is this forum which is brill
you can always 'cook' your hermes to a WM6, but if you can afford it wait for the Kaiser

Same situation here my friend!! I upgraded from a P900 (old faithfull) I was planning on the p990 aswell but the various delaysreally ticked me off. I ehard about the TyTN on esato forums and I never looked back! SOOOO glad i bought it too.
I was a bit unstisfied with my tytn and the original rom, reasons were random lookup/freeze and general slowness compared to the cpu clock of the device (actually same performance of the wizards with half mhz).
After the upgrade to WM6 with an unoffical rom both problems disappeared! the device is not really really fast and responsive (and I have already installed all my usual apps).
Well.... I took the plunge
The device should be here within a few days. I can't wait to try it out!
