Managed to get my M3100 today.
Found a store which had one in stock.
A guy was looking at it when I got there, but decided he didn't want to get it today - phew!!!
Anyway, well pleased so far, waiting for Orange to activate the SIM......

I HAVE JUST AQUIRED A SPV M1000 FRENCH WHICH IN REALITY IS QTEK 2020 MANUFACTURED BY HTC WHICH ALSO MANUFACTURES O XDA AND I MATE. BUT THE VERSION I GOT CAME WITH ORANGE BUNDLED PROGRAMS. THE PDA PHONE IS SIM LOCKED AND WORST, SOME OF THE NORMAL PPC PROGRAMS WHICH WORKED FINE WITH THE UNLOCKED VERSION JUST WON'T WORK WITH THIS ORANGE ONE. IS ANYBODY FAMILIER WITH THIS PROBLEM ( A FRENCH ONE). THANKS
If you want to unlock the M1000, do a search on this site for a piece of software called xda2unlock. That will unlock it hopefully. I have an M1000 myself and i have never had any problems with running any software, can you give more details?
NO LUCK SO FAR AND I TRIED SOME OXDA UNLOCK PROGRAM WHICH I FOUND ON THIS FORUM, BUT NO CHANCE.
TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY SPV M1000 HAS BEEN VERY UNSTABLE LATELY IE: EVERY 3 OR 4 DAYS THE UNIT WILL LOCK UP AND NEITHER THE POWER BUTTON OR SOFT RESET WILL WORK AND WHEN I REMOVE THE BATTERY, I LOSE ALL MY DATA AS IF I DID A HARD RESET.
ORANGE FRANCE HAS ALREADY REPLACE MY UNIT 3 TIMES.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON ??? :twisted:

Please stop shouting! .
Hi, i have just learned that the 3G SPV is goin gto be called the M5000, there is loads of info here http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4009.html there is also a podcast of one of the teck guys talking about it. Enjoy
About to buy a Universal .. currently with Orange ..but.. are there any strong reasons for moving to O2? Obviously hardware is the same, but is running the exec in corporate mode going to be significantly different to Orange?
Thanks!
just prefer the black xda exec, and i got a better free minutes deal with O2 (500mins free xnetwork)
In a post somewhere on this forum someone asked a question about the M5000 and installing software that suggested to me that Orange locks their machines to stop you installing unapproved (unsigned?) 3rd-party software.
I may have got the wrong end of the stick, of course :roll: but if it's true then that would be one major reason to steer clear of the M5000 IMHO. :shock: This user's post seemed to imply that Orange have sold other handsets with the same lock applied, so if you're already with Orange then you may know the answer to this question already.
my experience with orange is this....
been with them for a couple years, had a spv e200 then a m1000. i switched to o2 last week because :-
1) had terrible signal at home
2) the m5000 is bloody expensive on orange, paid 90 quid for the exec on o2 business tarrif, 35 quid pm
just my 2 cents
interesting about locking it from 3rd party software .. only ever had standard phones through orange so not come across this before .. currently got an ipaq and want the same freedom to install what I want!
The thing I do like about orange is their customer service .. has always impressed me, and they have always given me good tariffs to keep me with them..
O2 hands down. Orange even puts more crap software and all sort of locking into their phones than O2. I always avoid Vodafone and Orange like plague.
currently with am orange, upgraded from the m1000 to m5000
they give 1000mb data a month for the next tree months and 30 video calls
I paid nothing for my upgrade and am on a £25.00 amonth tariff.
I currently have tomtom 5.1, battary pack pro, pocketweather, tcpmp player
audio recorder, adobe reader, etc
all installed with no problems apart from tomtom 5.1 which involved some twicking.
i have installed all kinds of games for testing and %90 pesent of them worked ok.
i use my pda 80% of the time for Live emails, podcast stuff, downloaded tv episode watching and 20% making calls.
:wink:

What software does Orange put on? I thought it was just their wheat theme.
Has anyone managed to dump the M5000 rom?

I have the M5000 - I really want to upgrade my ROM, or at least do something that will speed up my Universal! It has dog-slow response rendering it useless for 50% of the time.
Surely there can't be any software that prevents ROM upgraded? The whole point of a ROM upgrade is that software is wiped. And unless there's any weird SIM interaction, this sounds impossible.
Anyway, I'm slightly worried about doing it, as it would void Orange warranty, and there's no Orange ROM available to put it back on if it goes wrong!
Anyone with more info on the M5000 - come forward, it would be great to hear from you!
TIA

Disable the orange plugin from the today screen, and also error reporting (if not already)
The orange plugin slows it down, and with it diabled, my m5000 is marvellous!
That sounds good - if Orange only use a plugin, is nice and easy to disable. Sounds better than having to install the O2 EXEC into corporate mode??
Thanks

Got a unit the other day that was used, so they sent me out a replacement, and it has WM6 installed - YAY!
Just waiting for my Micro SD card to arrive to see if I can load TT6 onto it (whihc could be a problem!)
I guess ROM updates must be due shortly for the rest?

ignore, its for the orbit not the hermes
tonyflow, that's interesting! I ordered an XDA Trion from O2 UK today. They were out of stock for a little while, so this must be a new batch. I wonder what OS they'll have installed...
Will report back!
The first unit I got (which was already used - which I was not happy about) was WM5, called their customer services, and they got a replacement out to me the next day - the box had a manual addition for WM6 - and when I powered the device on it was confirmed
I knew that O2 Germany had a ROM update for WM6, but wasnt aware of O2 UK having it! Saves me the hassle of upgrading and then trying to relicense tomtom in the future anyways
I got mine at the beginning of July and it has WM5 on it
I wonder if it would be easy to upgrade and if all the programs I have on it would still work.....
Anyway, I have sent them an email as to why the Trion is mot mentioned on the my-xda site (I became aware of it a while back when someone posted the seeo2.com for malaysian customers and I looked for the english version and re-visited it when it was mentioned on el-reg). Just hope a WM6 update is forthcoming....
Well, just called O2 as I saw the order had "Provisioning Failed" by it on their website. Turns out that they're out of stock - why they couldn't of told me this when I bought it I don't know - and it's contrary to what it says on their online store. So maybe, if I get a unit from yet another new batch, the chance of having WM6 increases?
