Tips for buying a Hermes based PDA-Phone - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I want to purchase a PDA-Phone based on the Hermes platform A.S.A.P.
I would like to hear the opinions of people that saw more than one version of these devices, in order to make an... "inspired" choice.
There is one limitation though: the PDA-Phone mustn't be one of the ones that were branded by carriers (e.g. I can't buy the Orange SPV M3100, the Vodafone one etc.). There is a good reason for this so there's nothing I can do about it.
One other thing: there's no issue about where to buy the phone. I can get it. Just recommend something nice!
Thank you in advance for all your posts !
Cheers,
Screech

Go to the HTC website, they have a list of suppliers of their phones without a simlock; http://www.htc.com

Can you be more specific as to the exact URL for this list. I looked around and didn't find a thing. Thank you again!

I think your choices are the HTC TyTN or a QTEK. Go to expansys to see the devices, and frankly if cost is no object, just buy from them too.

Yeah, probably you want to give him your bank account information and address so he can order the phone for you on your behalf. And possibly fetch the phone for you from your front door to your bedroom while you lie on your bed

Hi
I think we should have a differnet section on the forum index (main page) in the general section for sale and purchase on any Xda based device and this will avoid posts every few days saying
"O2 Exec for sale"
What do others think? Sorry not offending anyone but suggesting a good alternative

I think that would be a good idea too!
Just wonder why there are sooooo many ppl selling their devices off...kinda freaks me out! I'm here waiting for the device i ordered, and it would take me another 15 days to get it (sister to get it from USA to india)
hmmm!

No panic
Don't panic,
People like new gadgets and when they see newer ones they sell there old new ones!
I'm very happy with my MDA-pro it works like a charm.

@dreamtheater69,
here in the UK you can buy a new XDA Exec for less than UKP300 or if you have an existing contract it can be free to get an upgrade. These devices can be sold on ebay for over UKP400, so instant profit! O2 don't seem that bothered about the secondary market in their devices.

Hermes On T-Mobile... Maybe Not?

I have heard on the grapevine that T-Mobile will not be stocking the Hermes, the reason for this is the high cost price, it will be similair to what the MDA Pro costs and for that reason will just not sell enough.
Can't guarantee this though as the same was said about the Nokia 8800 and Samsung D500 when they were originally released but a back track was soon made!
T-Mobile Germany gave it a name already as the Vario II, and there is a flyer on their website. T-Mobile UK makes its own decisions - let's just hope they see the Hermes as a solution to the current shortage of Wizards...
whats a hermes and what will it do for me?
ok how is it going to be better than the wizard? just wondering expect i'll break my wizard about the same time this new one becomes affordable.
PS: some device that can run the day to day relationship with my girlfriend would be pretty useful. or even a text message auto reply option, sense the mood from the incoming text and reply appriately.

You could just have it display the word "APPROVED" but it only gives them warm fuzzys when they see it on the cash register display after using your card.
Just seen pics of the hermes thing and well i'll stick with the wizard unless i plan to build a small outhouse then a few hermes would be needed.
PS: the early stages of most relationships surely could benefit from an sms auto reply app.
1. scan msg
2. count instances of 'love you' etc... deduct instances of 'i hate you' etc.
3. use the score to judge the mood
4. probably apologise for conflict in the middle east
5. send reply
be funny if it could learn and have access to ur phone book. you could wake up one morning and its decided that girlfriend 1 is too much hassle so its dumped her and propositioned someone else for you. brilliant!
might be worth saying at this point before this thread get any dafter.
best keep PocketGirlFriend v0.1 top secret, as if PocketBoyFriend ever got written then things would get daft!!!
i dont see why they would. they have the MDA same thing... right?

What is the cheapest Advantage found in the market?

what is the cheapest one? in Dubai, it has been introduced for 1350 USD which is too much. anything closer to 1100 USD from any markets?
P.S. i saw the black one yesterday, for the first time, and the baby is gorgeous. the pictures you see and videos of the devicde dont do it justice IMO. it looks smaller than i thought and it looked sleek and beautiful!
thanks!
The device you saw in Dubai.....was the ROM arabic enbaled? Or it was only english?
Keyboard was also having arabic letters?
Thanks in advance.
it was english. the arabic version will not be introduced until the end of this month.
the upgrade will be offered for free. im not sure how they will approach the keyboard issue though!
me in Saudia....I purchased here for SR-5000 or USD-1300.
It is in english....I tried the arabitizer software (imignet) of universal and P3600 to alteast make it recongnize arabic and have a arabic virtual keyboard on screen....But unfortunately it didnot work....I think it is not compatible with the Advantage's ROM.
hmmm..
perhaps htc will release some updated roms soon. the guy told me it is going to be available on their website and on a CD!!
not sure but how often do you use the physical keyboard? isnt the virtual one more usable in general?
it looked sweet though. bu ttoo expensive. perhaps the price will drop a bit once the nokia E90 is released (end of this month from what i have been hearing).
for me its a choice of of the following:
-advantage
-E90
-E61i
E61i has a very favorable price tag which i may got for eventually. but the black advantage looked really sweet!
yes, virtual key board is awesome....and arabic on it would be just perfect....I do not carry keyboard...only advantage...
Well I also thought about E90...but I was unable to make comparison....because one is symbain and another runs windows-5...there are thousand things that we can run on WM OS....that we can not on symbian....E-90 will only play movies in MP-4 and rm version (this sucks).
It is having the same GPS chip and software that N95 is having and tell you what, GPS on N95 is hopeless and a major disappointment.
I heard the way we play on multiple programs on Advantge, it is not possible very effectiely on E-90 because of low speed process and RAM. There is no TV output as well....and Mirco soft office compability and syncronization with E-90 is horrible as well.
So for me....HTC Advantage was the only choice and I am happy with it I just miss arabic on it though

I ordered three units from this site and they have great service.
It's $1190.00 here and in stock for same day shipping. You can ask the vendor about the keyboard and see what they say.

WoW, that's a very good price. Did you receive it already?
Yes I got all three units in already. That vendor is great. No complaints at all and explained everything when I had questions. I would recommend them to everyone.
i have not yet made the plunge for the advantage but have purchased phones and accessories from dave (mad monkey boys gadgets) with excellent service in the past!!

If you were to purchase one.I would say get it from David.As of right now this is the lowest price found :http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=147445
Total is :$1,050.00.David will match the price of the cheapest like i stated before.And if you need accessories for the X7500 ,if it is on mobile planet he will sell the merchandise to you cheaper(alot cheaper!!)Than what you find on their site.So make that plunge!!!

I actually was going to purchase from them,because they state on their website that if you find merchandise cheaper somewhere else,they will match the price.The only thing is that i could not locate a phone number,address etc. anywhere on the website.Only an email address.When you are transferring that kind of money,you would like to speak to someone on the phone or have your nerves be at ease by knowing for a fact that it is not a scam.Same complications arose when the outbreak of the JASJAR arose.There were several people making ficticious websites scamming people.They also were price gouging people(charging 70.00 for shipping).So for me i like to speak to someone on the phone as well as be able to know that they are well established.No offense my friend.

Agreed. That's why I emailed them asking for the number and got a prompt reply with it. I wouldnt have ordered if I didn't have a number. I think the guys name Stan. Hope this helps.
even though it's still expensive
do u think The price will drop down a bit?
I got my JasJar when it was released about 1150$ and to be honest I don't want to pay this price on a Pocket PC again

Do I dare ask what happened to the one that was on your phone!?
When my Tytn fall down, i lost him, that is all, all other function are ok for more than a 1 year, but now i want to find and put him.
i'm actually in the same boat as you!
dropped my jasjam and the wheel itself snapped off its base.
think i'm going to try some glue work before buying a new one though.
just need to think of something suitable to act as a little base for it...
I believe someone ordered one from here:
http://www.gsm4world.us/shop/htc-c-210.html
You won't necessarily see the part listed on their website, but you can contact them or indeed any other PDA parts companies listed at my site below.
It's HTC part No 51H00350-00M It's actually referred to as the Flash Light Module because it has the flash on that daughter board as well as the scroll wheel.

I feel it is a bit pricey at $26 since I can get a new phone with incentives for $100... I'm trying to see if they will lower the price.

Try an E90 out, best piece of hardware i've ever owned! It's a little large, but the keyboard is brilliant and the build quality is top-notch!
I'm sad to see it go, but it was never my phone to begin with
