Hi Hermes users,
my XDA trion is nominated as a HERM100 device. From the wiki I have seen that there are also HERM200 devices. So I was wondering, if there are any hardware differences between the two devices?
From my first analysis it's not a difference in CPU nor RAM/Flash-RAM.
So what's the difference or does HTC label it different just by fun???
Anybody knows, please? :lol:
That's a good question.
the Wiki has some details, although they are not exhaustive. From what i can, the design of the buttons and wheel differs across the two versions.
The web does not have much details, so we may have to wait until more of us have these handsets to get the answer...
I think it was the early development and field test device with 300Mhz CPU which didn't have the final button layout, but the finally released XDA trion has the same layout as other HERM200 devices.
This link has photos of 300MHz (development) and 400MHz (final version) Xda trion devices, both are HERM100:

I still don't know the differences betwen HERM100 and HERM200, if there are any.

Don't know if this old news for some ...

An identical device to the Magican with WM5, WiFI, 128MB and 2 replaced buttons!
I spoke to our logistics manager today (TMUK) and he confirmed that the Compact II looks the same as the original with Windows 5 OS. Didn't have anymore tech specs to hand although don't be surprised if some more case colours appear. If I get anymore info I'll update.
BulletTime,
many thanks for your reply. Looks like we might get the long awaited WM5 through "official" channels then!
Hence my excitement!
Athena anyone?
I'm not entirely sure if this is the Athena or not. I heard rumours that this could be the athena but I also heard rumours of an athena that has a different shape than the Magician altogether. I think we'll have to wait and see ...
Could be the HTC Prophet
German tmobile also claims a new release of our mdacompact should appear before christmas. And "yes" they say its planned to be equipped with WM2005 wlan and 128mb.
Greetings
T-mobile compact II (HTC - ???)

So Compact II will be a S110 with windows mobile 5.0? Nothing more, nothing less? Well, at least i think we'll be able to install its rom in our magician in short times!!!
Oh Prophet, we are u???
Bye
Could you please scan page 12 and link it for us?
Or at least tell us what further information about the MDAcII is given on page 12?
Edit:
It seems that the missing page/information is given here.
That's great, because we could use the firmware and have wm5 on our magican i suppose... If anyone have the solution for that please provide us with it.thx
Done for prophet

I don't see the relationship of this post with respect to the main topic.
I came across this website checking for christmas goodies and to my suprise!! they are selling the MDA Compact II http://www.clselectronicstore.co.uk/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=663. Their description states that it has wifi and WM5, is this for real? If it is I would really like to buy this device
Seen at Scancom also
Noticed on the Scancom website these devices were imminent.
I purchased my original MDA from them.
That MDA Compact II is called the HTC Charmer. It's basically the same device that we have but with a TI OMAP processor 200Mhz, WM5, 128MB and WiFi.
If you're willing to wait a bit more, there will soon be the HTC Prophet that has all these upgrades PLUS a 2 MP Camera with camera, Bluetooth ver 2.0, EDGE support, and is also Quad Band.
The HTC Prophet is already available on request here:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=128025
As far as I am aware, the MDA compact II is wifi compatible (SDIO chip as does its predecessor), but does not have built in wifi, I could be wrong, anyway ordered one from t-mobile yesterday and should be getting delivery on monday when I will be able to confirm this issue.

Confused?
Hi there,
Just checked the clselectronicstore website and it claims the charmer has 128Mb ram and built in WIFI... This conflicts some other claims that it doesnt....
Which is true????
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II and can confirm that is does not have built in wifi.
Hope this helps
Performance MDA compact II versus HTC Magican
Can anyone report how the performance of this two compare.
Because the new one has only 200MHz CPU but it should work
more efficient
Thanks in advance

By looking at the review of Wizard and others using the same 200mhz CPU. It proves it is not a good CPU choice. (Just look at how many complaint from Skype user and U will know what I mean)
This looks much like Magician to me, apart from the processor.
Wondering if the Charmer's 5.0 rom works on plain Magician??
Watch out!

Hott-Ice Boy is the owner of the www.clselectronicstore.com and www.clselectronicstore.co.uk sites and is a scammer.
DONT BUY FROM THIS SITE!
See http://www.who.is/whois-com/ip-address/clselectronicstore.com/ to confirm this guy is Calferni Simpson of 3 Windley Close, Forest Hill London.
Then look at http://www.vibesconnect.com/KaLz and http://www.face-pic.com/pages/view_profile.php?user=hottice_boy&1=1210926
And you'll see "Kalz", "Hott-Ice Boy" and Calferni Simpson are one and the same.
If you look at http://www.busytrade.com/company/companyInfo.php?memberid=hotticeboy&cTYPE you'll see he also called himself "Simpsons Entertainment" in 2004 (also posted under the hotticeboy alias.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
moved to charmer section.
This forum is great for those with the xda exec. Just wondering are there a similar forums for the orange spv m5000 or t-mobile mda pro? ...or are the tips n tricks/software/firmware updates in this forum also apply to spv m5000/mda pro? . Thank you.
All the different HTC Universal devices are identical except for colour. You can change from one to the other by just flashing the ROM. So yes, the tips for universal phones apply to all universal phones.

thanks RyanZa.
So i guess this is probably the best forum for the Universal?
....so if i have an spv m5000 or mda pro.....is it wise for me to flash the ROM to an Xda rom so i can take advantage of this forum's (xda) resources? ...i guess doing this would void the warranty on the original machine?!?!
curiousmurf: the hardware is pretty much the same, so you shouldn't need to flash roms etc to use the vast majority of the info on these devices.
The underlying OS, (Windows Mobile or whatever it's called these days) is also quite liberally implemented, so most hacks you see for one device will typically work or have an equivalent on another device, unless specifically indicated to the contrary.

This just adds salts to my open wounds:
http://www.gigabytecm.com/egbc_smart.aspx
similar specs - with WM5 grrrrrr
hmm,
not bad. Any pricings yet?
Hardware is similar but..
Not the same !!.
Processor main and sub arictecture might be different so I guess that ripping the ROM might not work for us.
Furthermore, after reading some posts about people upgrading thier existing Win2003SE to Win2005 (Ipaq & Dell only), I've noticed that most of them is not satisfied with the new os. Thier problems varies from hardware compability, AS problems and more.
So basically I think that Win2003SE is still the best for Jam owners so far.

Look at the data-sheet, they have different hardware inside.
Greetings
The XDA Orbit 2 is the equivalent to HTC Polaris / Touch Cruise on this forum not the Iolite / Touch Cruise 2.
Differences
The 2 models are quite different
The XDA Guide or as this forum calls it, the iolite has twice as much memory and a faster processor, 528 Meg
Also Called
O2 XDA Orbit 3
HTC Touch Cruise 2
HTC Touch Cruise 09
HTC Polaris 200
The O2 XDA Orbit 2 has only a 400 Meg processor
Also Called
HTC Touch Cruise
Dopod P860
Some of these alternately named phones have slightly different shells, but are basically the same internals
EDIT: (To clarify here, the 2 phones are definately 2 different phones, but the different styles of each of the phones, eg, HTC Touch Cruise and O2 XDA Orbit 2, which are the same phone, have slightly different shells )
I have an O2 XDA Guide and an O2 XDA Orbit 2
The guide is slightly smaller and faster with the software better put together
Both are VERY good phones
Differences
Here are the pics of the phones,
O2 XDA Orbit 2 is the larger one,
The Iolite or O2 XDA Guide is the smaller one
No chance, we cannot make, that these phones will be twince
I say it again:
different hardware = different phone
Maybe the same color, but devinitivly different phones.
Different phones = different OS
Maybe some apps are the same, but devinitivly different OS
Greetings
100% yes, after using the guide now for 24 hours,
There are many differences in the OS, the guide is far better even to a slider to answer calls, one way to answer, the other to ignore, well thought out.
The guide is also a lot faster, leaves the Orbit 2 for dead,
Really impressed with the guide and well worth the money
