I've sold my Prophet and I'm thinking of buying a Wizard...but i'm not sure does it worth or not..Comparing with TYTN Personally i don't use 3G Network but i'm looking for a model with QWERTY keyboard...
I'm looking for some info:
1-Will the color of the body be removed because of sliding the phone in and out from your pocket?
2-Will the keyboard get loose after awhile(I have experienced it with PDA2K)
Nope.
I have had the T-Mobile MDA for several months now, and so far, it is still great. The keyboard still snaps in, slides out, no looseness to speak of. The finish on mine has only come off in one tiny spot, because I dropped it. [Hooray protection plan!] Other than that, no wear on the paint, or the screen.
I have the Cingular 8125 version and I love it. But I will get the tytn version when it comes out. Faster processor, and UMTS or 3g in it.
You may not think you want it now, but you will probably find that the 3g network is used for more than just your direct connection to the internet. I get email on mine. Sync over the air. etc.
And why would you want to have the previous generation rather than getting the current one, unless price is an issue.
Hi,
I agree with some here.
If price isn't that much of an issue, I would wait for the Hermes with 3g etc.
My i-Mate Kjam is just great though, but when I am up for an upgrade next year, I will get the JasJam (Hermes).
I have had my KJam for 6 months now and I have not had any cosmetic problems with it and the keyboard is still A+. I don't use it that much though.
Go for the HERMES!!!

I bought the I-Mate JAM for my wife a few months ago thinking I could teach her all the cool things it can do like my PDA2K but she still doesn't like it. I was thinking about posting it on ebay, but wanted to give everyone here a chance to make me an offer before I posted it. Is anyone willing to make a reasonable trade or offer for it? She really likes the new RAZR's so I am open for a few days then its off to ebay for it.
post an offer here or email me [email protected].
I will post pics later today as it does have one or two scratches.
Here is a pic
A scratch on the display is a no-go for me. If she doesnt even want it, why couldn't she use a screen protector the time being? I have one on it and are using it.
I sent it to here while I was away and she didn't know how to put it on. The scratch isn't that big either, the flash on the camera kind of makes it look alot bigger.
$200
I'd be interested to know what you get on ebay for it.
I'll be putting mine on there at some point soon With a 1gb SD card, Spectec WiFi card and DeskDock. Not sure how much to expect though. :S
My wife has a RAZR and aside from being thin an light she is quite disappointed with it. As always no other phone can beat the user-friendlyness and features of a Nokia.
I am sure my wife will be disappointed with it also. No offense to women, but with cell phones its always what's new and small.
The cons are as follows:
- wake up alarm wont work if the phone is off.
- fonts are too small (for bad eyes).
- though one could input various numbers for one contact, when viewing, it displays each number as one individual entry.
- the phone's battery can only be charged via the supplied adapter and/or the usb cable (but only when connected to a PC). it does not work with my universal usb charger which i use for my s100 and bt800.
- assigned sms tone does not work if an international sms is received.
i wonder how the motoQ will be like in practice.
How do you manage to scratch the screen like that?! I had my phone for 4 months before my screen protectors finally came in the mail (expansys.com.au being slow, long story). I used the phone all day every day, let my girlfriend at the time use it and my dad and it doesn't have a mark on the screen!
Did she accidentally use a pen instead of stylus or something?
As I said before its not as big as it looks, the flash made it look bigger. But the scratch was from her nail when she was getting them done and tried to click on something.
Fair enough. I could imagine if you're looking straight down at it you'd barely notice. Still, unlucky!
My guess at a value would be slightly over half the standard retail price. I reckon I'd pay that. In Australia Jams sell for AU$900 roughly, I'd give you $500 but I have no money!
Ebay Australia has some in "as new" condition going for AU$600.
Hi , I will buy it for 200 USD. Agreed ?
rexxxx,
Common man Jimmy-Bish just offered me 377.191......
I was really hoping to get a trade w/some $$ becuase I will have to replace the phone as soon as I sell/trade this one.
Alfred, what's my new price (AU$900) compared to the US price? I put in that theoretical offer based on the Australian market at the moment.
(Oh, and it wasn't a rock solid offer. like I said, I have no money... sorry!).
Jimmy-Bish I was comparing it to the 500 you said, I know your not interested but that is a more reasonable offer.
ILL TAKE IT????
IF you'd sell it for AUD$400 including post ill take it it dose come with all chargers and stylus and box and wat-not dosent it?

are you still interested? sorry i haven't checked this post in a while and i never posted the jam on ebay either. i got caught up in the BlueAngel release of WM5.0 I personally have the PDA2K.
T-Mobile - MDA Vario II (7 days old)
Hi all,
As I have read so many times on this forum, and have dreaded it so much - my stylus, and its holder have come foul of the sticking in / out, then not holding in at all.
I have a couple of questions.
Replacement: Will T-Mobile be able to offer a replacement at my local shop (considering I purchased it online)? If not, do I have to return it and be without a mobile while they get a replacement – if so, how long? Or will someone pick mine up and drop off a replacement?
Also, how many people have had further problems (my faith is rapidly dropping on this unit), and are there actually people here how have had their MDA II some time without ANY problems at all?
Please tell me I haven’t brought a dream, only to find out it’s a nightmare!
Thanks
Ratzz
TYTN Hardware Issues
1. My 2 day old Voda 1605's stylus got stuck today so i had to pull it really hard to get it back out, i then put it back in and it was really stiff and hard to get back out.. but when it did come back out, it also pulled out some piece of rubber now the stylus is really lose.
2. Also, compared to my previous HT628, the slideout keyboard is really loose.
So yes, this phone for me also seems to be a nightmare too than a dream.
Somehow (and it wasn't dropped) the LCD has developed a "break" across it, all the way along a diagonal, rendering the touch screen virtually useless (although the phone itself is still usable).
I'd like to know how the screen could just crack like this, and whether it is possibly a manufacturing problem (which I could get repaired or replaced for free) or if not, where can I go to have the screen replaced and is it economically worth while?
Not due an upgrade for another few months, so wanted to eke out the life of this phone for a bit longer, but without being able to use TomTom etc, its currently very tricky to get use out of it!
I'm in the UK, btw...
If you feel up to it you can replace the screen yourself, search ebay for HTC wizard LCD its around £50 for a new one, please note there are 2 different types so you will need to look at the old one first before buying your new one.
Riptos
i got quoted about 120quid for a new screen from comedy repair outfit SBE.
Ouch... even at £50 its probably not worth it. Can stick the SIM in an E200 or summat until into the New Year then upgrade. If it were a new Vario II or something, it'd be worth it, but a knackered old Vario? Nah...
little history.. My buddy has had this for a few months at his house. One of his cousins purchased it and he had to leave to vietnam before he got the device in the mail. So basically he inherited a new toy. he took it out of the box and had tried to set it up but was stuck on the touch screen alignment screen for about half and hour. He tried a few weeks later and was still stuck and decieded to put it away. Few months later I picked up my htc sprint touch phone, showed it off to him and he brings me the x7501 and tells me its junk. I could try to unlock it or he would split the money to sell it if it was junk. I plugged it in let it fully charge and to my surprise I was past the alignment screen and it was running normal.
Now my problem is I would like to keep it but my touch does everything that I need. The screen is nice but too big for me too carry and enjoy. I would love it just as a unit to keep in my car for gps but I dont know if I can unlock it and use it on a sprint network? Anyone know this or not?
Only used for a few hour works great, pratically brand new box is a little beat up from him storing it in his closet. Has a 4gb minicard that I will include. hit me up at soal79(at)hotmail.com if interested or have questions. From what I see brand new they go for 900 so i think this is a fair price. I wish i could keep it but money is tight and my wife already thinks in spend too much time playing with my touch. thanks.
can not use on the sprint network, the x7501 is GSM phone, sprint is CDMA.
Post pics please.
Got one three weeks ago, new, for 700
Sold it yet?
Maybe try ebay? They seem to be going for around 690 reliably. You might be better off selling the sdhc in a seperate sale. ??? Or maybe bill it in the title of the listing.
I agree with the last post, if there's visible damage, you'll want to post actual pics or you'll get pestered for them.
Even if you don't use it as a phone, it is more of a WM6 UMPC/PDA. The GPS is great with software that doesn't need an "always on" connection, like iGuidance. Surfing is great. I haven't used my (admittedly rather old) laptop since I got mine.
I am curious if you sold it. I am trying to get friends interested in the model.
Makes a HD2 be a T9193 and not a T8585????
The reason I'm asking is because I disemboweled my T9193 and I cannot find another one at a decent price, but I might be able to buy a T8585 for a reasonable price and if the key part it still in one piece may be a repair shop can swap them around.
Or that does not makes any sense?
Thanks,
Should be the mainboard and possibly the lcd and outer housing. The 8585 is the 1024 Mb TMOUS right?
If so, then definitely the board would be different, and I think the Euro HD2's have a different lcd display than the TMOUS's.
What piece do you need to replace anyway?
I don't really know to be honest...
It started with the usb port problem but after several disasembling combined with my lack of experience and use of wrong tools I don't know how far the damage is, especially because after I screwed a couple of things up I kind of gave for granted that the phone was not salvagable and started "peeling" things off just to see. That's why I thought of using this one as a donor but I'm not sure it would work if there are several pieces needed.
It was after that when I started looking for a new one that I realised that there are none T9193's on the market any more (not even in Australia where these were used mostly by Telstra)
The thing is that I need a phone with wi fi hotspot to use in February in a job out where I need to connect to internet on my laptop but I'm not sure what to buy. I wanted to give a try to the HTC Edge once it came out but if I spend $500+ now on a phone I won't be able to buy the Edge in few more months.
At the moment the only candidates I see are either the galaxy S2 Skyrocket or the HTC vivid.
And to be honest even though the Galaxy seems to be a better option I'm a HTC fan and after having the HD2 for almost 2 years I'm not sure I'll like Android.
Yes, I know it sounds stupid but I got used to WM 6.5 my girlfried has an Android phone an I played with it a bit but I'm totally lost with it.
So I either find a cheap unlocked 3G (with AT&T bands) and wifi hotspot to last until the Edge comes out, or ditch out now for either the Galaxy or vivid and forget about the Edge later
