9100 is great, little big to carry around, but nice with w-lan and everything else. WM2005, didn´t like it in the beginning but now after 1 week I like it.. as all the other windows-based things u can do whatever u want
But now it´s confirmed, S200 is coming to sweden in the beginning of 2006. The size is like s100, s110 unbeatable......

i want one. is this thing just a prototype or htc for sure is gonna make it? and i read it has wifi 802.11g could this be true?
The English version is also available:
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-prophet-en.shtml
Compare with Magician, the camera of Prophet has improved a lot. Added Wifi and EDGE but the CPU is changed to slower OMAP... :!:
I donno why HTC want to change CPU type. But this totally prevent existing Magician users from directly upgrade the ROM from WM2003SE to WM5 without buying new device... :roll:

yes. Built-in module Wi- fie of version g;
T Mobile
This device is already available with another name from T Mobile :lol:
But as said, OMAP OMAP OMAP
I will wait until next year for the new devices
How does this thing compare to the HTC Charmer aka T-Mobile MDA Compact II, which is supposed to be the WM2005 successor to Magician?
And Charmer should be available already from T-Mobile ;-)
As far as I know, the Charmer has no Wifi and no 2 MPix camera.
@ all
Don't forget: The Hermes is going to come out pretty soon (first half of next year they said).
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.
Hi guys, as you probably know by now, i have close relation with HTC, on the recent phone call with their senior engineer, i have been giving the first hand information about the first UMPC device of HTC !!!
It's call the HTC Shift, is uses the similar design as HTC Kaiser (i assume you guys have seen this device).
Here is the confirm spec:
7-inch touchscreen, 30GB hard drive, Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, and Windows Vista.
I haven't got the chance to play with it yet, but my friend has and he says the key is very comfortable, fairly light weight. Built quality is very good, screen is amazing.
So when will be see this device? Well at the moment plan is for Q3, about the same time with Omni. So it's still quite a wait.
Below is a picture.
p.s. While i was posting this thread, i found out HTC has already post the info on their web! http://www.htc.com/
well, at least my post is still first hand in turns of spec

Sorry, quite confused..
Do you mean, the brand name HTC Shift will not be available in Asia but it will be marketed under the Dopod branding?
What's the project code name? (e.g HTC Athena aka HTC Advantage)

Yes, it won't be available in Asia as HTC Shift, i will be DOPOD (something).
They might even not sell it in Asia at all for this device by the way.
The code name of HTC Shift is Shangri-La.
BTW a important message here for all you USA buyer. The HTC Advantage won't be available in USA until Summer, but when it's available, i will be call HTC X7501, so is there any different between x7501 and Advantage, yes!
X7501 will have WM6 in built! So it means official WM6 ROM will be available around Summer.
Please also note the European HTC Advantage will only have WM5 for now.
Wow interesting!!! thanks for info...

According to the register, it will run vista, not windows mobile
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/27/htc_unveils_windows_vista_shift/
Excellent specifications but too big for me ! (19 x 13 x 3 cm) which makes it more than twice the size of my Alpine !

yes, it runs Vista, this thread got a bit off topic because people are more excited about the WM6 upgrade rather then the new HTC Shift
anyway, i agree the size is quite big, my friend has already test it, and he say basically UMPC and PPC are two completely different product,which i totally agree.
got so tired of people trying to compare Athena with UMPC, i don't care that Athena cost like a UMPC, it has it's own advantage. And i will never want to run XP or Vista on my Athena as well.
A video of it on youtube:

Does anyone have any informations as to when the HTC SHift may be available in the UK??
Many thanks

Are you sure wu?
Now DOPOD is joint with HTC, so no more DOPOD brand even on asia... you can check at their web: www.dopodasia.com now they become www.asia.htc.com
Even HTC touch avaiable in asia with HTC brand...
Can you confirm or correct me?
phone calls
was drooling over this and watching a few reviews on line reading up is it true it has no microphone? does that mean i need a bt headset to make calls or as suggested cant make calls at all. as why bother with both O/S's if you cant make calls????????????????

From what I have been able to find out, it does not have a microphone, and you DO need a bt headset to use the phone functions.
I believe that the dual o/s is stupid tho! It is only due to the fact that m$ has not figured out how to make Vista work right yet as a stand-alone o/s, much less add telephony to an already EXREMELY buggy o/s!!
Hope this helps........Later

Many people are reporting that the shift does not have voice telephony capability only data gsm/utms/3g...Unless using voip?
Man that would suck
Yep, everyone here in oz is talking about this- no places are stocking the Dopod D810 anymore as they cant get it.....
apparently within the next few weeks a new HTC P3600i will be released with more memory and a faster processor......
not sure if this is fiction or not but sounds good- strange though that they would release it here before anywhere else... we always seem to get technology like this about 6-12months after everywhere else (we only got electricity last week! )...... no iphone until late this year.... etc....
personally i think that it is just a rebranding of the current Dopod D810? Anyone from here who has good sources can confirm this?
look at the post halfway down the page here- one guy buying a heap from 3 has been told of the P3600i....:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=658349&p=-1#bottom
Personally I think it's just a rebranding ... cause the latest official Dopod WM6 ROM (we all jumped on ) states "HTC_P3600i" in the 'About' screen...
Or....in the case of a real P3600i, this would explain why there are some issues with this Dopod ROM on a regular P3600...
Hmz..
It's true
HTC is updating the Trinity with a 500MHz processor and larger memory. Also known as CHT9110 (our P3600 is CHT9100) in Taiwan and offered for about 20% price increase.
Why would they do this when HTC is unveiling a few new phones in a few months? To me the Polaris is the phone to get.....

I don't see a 3G small (i.e. without keyboard) phone with GPS in the HTC roadmap so maybe there's room for an improved P3600.
this will be my next phone if htc release it in europe.

Huh? The Polaris is the same exact phone as the 3300 but with 3G. It has a 2.8" screen, not a 3.5" screen, that was a typo. I have spec screen shots of the Polaris and it looks great.
Look at my ActiveSync, one of the choices is HTC P3600i
after flashing my trinity w/ Dopod's official WM6 ROM, activesync detects it as a P3600i already
it seem soo pc'ish to be willing to replace a device to get 100Mhz more
battery life is more importent
more so if one like to be online with messenger with 3g while on the move
i dont see much real world change in that
polaris seems like a pretty cool device imho
Yep it may be rebranded as HTC P3600i or Dopod810x anyway from what I have seen so far in some Asian websites (HTC P3600 = CHT9100 and the HTC P3600i = CHT9110)
the new specifications may be:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
Samsung 500Mhz CPU
256MB ROM/64MB RAM
All the rest should remain the same as the previous model.
I can't say that it is 100% sure but you can still have a look at:
http://mobile.163.com/07/0718/10/3JM8DP840011179O.html
below all the pictures.
One big question remain, how much will this new model cost?
I wish 128 Mb RAM

Exactly.
You would think if there really was an upgrade you would have heard about it. I mean the Artemis is getting an upgrade and we are hearing an official announcement and they gave it 128mb of RAM.
Edit: It does exist...

its 64RAM see here http://203.84.199.31/language/trans...cts/pda_CHT9110/pda_CHT9110_fea.html&lp=zt_en
it's still a preproducton.. maybe they will change 128 Mb
128M of RAM would definitely cause battery to drainer much quicker - unless they upgrade the battery too.
P3600i available in Australia in one week.
It really does exist!
Here is the preordering page at a shop here in town.
The price is $1099 AUD.
http://www.ow.com.au/Customer-Assistance/HTC-P3600i-3G-GPS-Pocket-PC
HTC P3600i in latest "3"cattledog!
Yep guyz and guyesses. The latest 3 Three cattledog inside back cover shows and lists the HTC P3600i available on a $49 plan for $32 per month. Now that's $4 less than the Dopod D810 albeit on a $29 plan.
Organizer world have it listed also at $1099 due in about 10 days or so.
Extra ram and 500 processor and my favorite a built in GPS receiver.
Just tought you would like to know that it really is happening!

The Kaiser will be king again!
Actually I reckon that the HTC Kaiser will be the one to wait for coz it's got lots of goodies incuding a keyboard which sits at an angle, has a great and worthwhile camera etc but I don't think it has GPS. There are reviws on the web.

This is your opinion. I have used the Kaiser and as great of a phone it is, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.
I dislike slide out keyboards as I have had 2 phones like this and got rid of them both. I also dislike heavy phones and this phone is one of the heaviest phones I have held in a while.
Anyway, why would you post about the Kaiser in this thread? If anything, I would be waiting for the Polaris personally, not the Kaiser.

Hi all,
Has anyone heard of any successors to the 69X5 series yet?
Really could do with WM6 and HSDPA
Thanks.
yup
Just google for iPaq 914c
Thanks!
Just checked and this (or possibly the 614C) is exactly what I want!
Thats if the screen is transflective unlike the Kaiser or the G900.
Any idea on the ETA date? Google doesn't seem to know.
Thanks.
HP 914 will be out at the end of the year, that will be a wm6, and all the other features, also 320x240 screen
