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:

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.
Well, I bought an O2 XDA Exec. After some issues I'm up and running. I've upgraded to WM6 and loving it. Now, I really don't want to read through million pages of the recommended software thread. Can you guys recommend the best of the best? I'm mainly looking for freeware games and stuff.
I recently got my self a second hand XDA IIi, and I found in this forum that It can not be upgraded in to WM 5.
But when identifiying this XDA IIi, I notice in forum header say :
"The Andes is the updated version that has a 1.3 megapixel camera, sold (among other names) as the XDA IIi."
AND
"The Alpine is sold as XDA IIi, Qtek 2020i, PDA2 and many other names."
So, which one is mine ? Andes or Alpine ?
Sorry for the stupid question.
Thank you
Hi, I was suprised that Alpine forum doesn't contain any ROM upgrades. Is Himalaya WM5 ROM works for Alpine ? As the desriptions stated that they are also known as O2 XDA IIi.
Does such upgrade works ?

Different Devices?
Himalaya & Andes (5 Viewing)
The Himalaya phone is sold as XDA II, MDA II, Qtek 2020 and many other names. The Andes is the updated version that has a 1.3 megapixel camera, sold (among other names) as the XDA IIi.
This is wriiten at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/
So somebody did something wrong.
no andes seem to have been a bastard son of himalaya which was not around for long at all dont recall seing any owner of andes in the forums
it was suppstly sold as IIi for a short while before the alpine took over
andes is suppose to be able to use himalaya roms but alpine is not!
