hey guys,
I just upgraded from a Prophet to a MDA compact III and was just wondering where to look for upgraded T-Mobile UK ROMs. I mainly ask this out of curiosity, not because theres a problem, it's just upgrades for my previous Pociet PC devices which I had through orange (SPV m2000, M5000, M600) were always on one of the orange sites but t-mobile seem to be quite eluseive as far as handset upgrades are concerned.
Help would be appreciated.

It has been a while since I have read the boards and so I am having a problem finding any information on whether or not I can purchase a MDA II and use it with my T-Mobile service in the USA. I currently have the older version of the T-Mobile Pocket PC phone and would like to upgrade to a new phone. Can anyone help me with my question about the MDA II in the USA or is there another PocketPC phone you would recommend?
I think the MDA II/XDA II only works on 900MHz which is used on European networks. I'm not sure if it works in America or if it works well in America.
Actually, T-Mobile USA does 900MHz don't they?
T-mobile in the USA use 1900.
As far as I know the MDA II is triband so it will work with T-Mobile USA
It will NOT work with cingular

Any phone that uses 1900MHz will be fine for you then.
I have an O2 Xda II bought in Singapore last Summer and I use it in NY on T-Mobile. It works great.
I have just upgraded my ROM using the latest UK patch 1.72.187 (radio 1.17.00) and it works fine.
just got one off ebay and wont be using it on orange so will be unlocking it using the software from buzzdev. next, will I need to get rid of the orange branding and whats the best firmware to use - I will be using o2, 3UK and possibly T Mobile.
I am a moderator on the 3G forum but this pda/xda stuff is new to me but willing to learn.
Hi Cyberkid,
I am no expert on these things myself but I have found the general consensus for O2/Orange/T mobile owners wanting to get rid of the operator branding is to upgrade the ROM to the Qtek or Imate roms as these are operator neutral.
I have a T Mobile MDA Vario which I have upgraded to the latest Qtek ROM. Got a much faster more stable rom and lost the pink t mobile branding!
Hope this helps.
Hello everybody out there,
I have recently purchased a T-mobile bundled MDA Compact III (3) alias O2 Orbit, HTC P3300, and Artetimes. I have been going through this forum to see how I can unlock the simlock: However, I did not find a specific answer. Some people have luck using xdadev_all_unlock-v1[1].6_138.exe but it seems like these people are living life dangerously – I.e. I can’t see if the developers behind the tool says that it supports the P3300. What are your suggestions for having this cell phone simunlocked freely?
Another question: Is there any difference at all between the MDA Compact III and the HTC P3300 at all? Some say the T-mobile unit does not have WiFi, is this true?
Sincerely,

Hi,
I just recently moved from Orange to Three. However, my beloved unlocked Wizard does work with the Three network.
So, can anyone provide me with a list of Windows Mobile smartphones that work on the Three network? I'm confused at the moment..
What about the TYTN or unlocked versions from T-mobile and Vodaphone?
An unlocked version of the XDA orbit?
Please share your experiences of which smartphones work best for you on 3!
Cheers
I have an XDA Mini s, i have noticed that one of the guys in the office has an orange SPV which is exactly the same, his has 3G however. Is this a hardware difference or software (eg ROM) upgrade, and if its either , how do i do it.
The guy is mostly likely to have a Orange SPV M3100 (a.k.a htc Hermes), which is a 3G phone. The whole hardware is different.

Hermes/TyTn is very similar, though not 'exactly the same'. Hermes is 3G. May be your colleague has a Hermes...

Thanks starkwong,
Just new to this so wasn't sure. Iv'e managed to unlock the phone today and install a new radio ROM and WM6, thought if i could upgrade to 3G that would be the icing on the cake.
Out of interest if i was to but a M3100, could i flash it to use my T-Mobile card etc
