hey guys,
i m planning to get a HTC universal. well i m not too sure where to get it from,i.e, to get a xda exec or spv m5000. a friend of mine has a spv m1500 and sugessted to go for the spv version since for some reason it is more stable (crashes less). does it really depend on the network? also is there any place i can get it cheap besides ebay...i really dont trust it that much and also o2, orange dont sell it as 'mobile with out contract' devices. would really appreciate some help on it.
cheers
Okay guys, heres one for you...
as some of you may know, i currently have a wizard, well an o2 mini-s to be exact, and am due to upgrade, change soon.....
I've have a number of smartphone/pda's in the past starting with the SPV E200, then the E500 then the SPV M1000 (Xda II) then jumped to the XDA Exec, which i sold and got a XDA Mini s.
I don't really want to go to anything bigger than the mini-s and like the slide out keyboard, kinda rules out the xda atom, SPV M600 etc etc
My question is, what is the main difference (apart from colour) of the 3 main hermes devices marketed at the minute.
Is anyone better than the other or is it all just down to bundled software and case colour......
I'm thinking of the SPVm3100 as i like the colour but dunno wheather to wait for o2 to launch the Trion in this country ???
any advice would be helpful.
It is very unlikely that O2 will ever release the Trion in this country, despite what others might say. Do you honestly think that O2 would wait so long?
The Hermes you have in this country are pretty much it, it really depends on what services you want. If you want a locked down device then go for Orange, an unlocked device with very little extra stuff loaded go for the v1605/TyTYN or if you want a device with bugundy go for the Vario II.

Thanks for the reply... locked down can be fixed surely... it hasn't been an issue in any other xda's so far.....
I do know the orange is a good looking device especially in the black... might have to bite the bullet and go back to orange...
I've had the chance to really put the M3100 and Vario II through its paces.
I found the M3100 to be faster and also damn good looking compared to the ugly duckling the Vario.
Almost everything else is the same.
Hope that helps.

Not yet, other than by convincing your operator to do it (unlikely), or by paying £20 to an online unlocking service.

Thanks for that... I had the SPV E200, C500 and M1000 through orange and had no problem apart from i found that the signal strength where i lived wasn't up to much.
BTW Does the SPV M3100 take mini sd or the new stupid sized micro sd..
hope it's mini as i've just had to buy one recently for my mini s.... i've now got a 1gb sd card which is no good, i don't want a 1gb mini sd that won't be any use either
Sorry to say its Micro SD on the Hermes.
Hi,
here in germany the best choice is the MDA Vario II from t-mobile.
The reason is, that t-mobile is the only provider that supports HSDPA (1,8 mbit i think).
Hope it helps,
Thomas

Hi
I'm about to sell my o2 mini and I just can't decide on my next phone. Should it be an Atom Exec or Stealth ?
Any comments or feedback is very much appreciated
Cheers
Rolf
A bit off topic, but where can one buy a new Atom Exec?
Can someone tell me if the screen connector is the same for both SPV m1000 and XDA II. I have a damaged XDA (screen) but can get hold of a non-working but OK screen m1000
Wot no experts !!!
OK so no answers yet. I now have SPV m1000 and XDA II. I thought these are both supposed to be himalaya yet the screen connector to SPV is very different from XDA. If I look at the detailed pics of the XDA II on the Wiki-XDA it's obvious that my XDA is "normal" and has the regular connector. It is possible that my SPV does not have the regular connector cos it's one of these earlier alpine machines, or is it just that the SPV has a different connector anyway?
Failing an answer to the above anyone out there know where to buy a used (pref pretty cheap) SPV m1000 mainboard??? Ha ha ha you're thinking but any help much appreciated
Hi all,
According to what I have understood, P3300 hardware is almost the same,
the only difference between O2 XDA Orbit and T-Mobile MDA COMPACT III is that T-Mobile Version have the WI-Fi disabled.
Does this mean that if I buy a new O2 XDA ORBIT cover for a T-Mobile, this will fit it?
Did anyone experimented that before?
...
simple answer.. yes!
you may need 2 extra screws for it though..
i cant remember whether its the o2 or tmobile cover that has the extra 2 screws..
thank you!
I'll have a try with a new orbit case..
