Don't know if this old news for some ...

An identical device to the Magican with WM5, WiFI, 128MB and 2 replaced buttons!
I spoke to our logistics manager today (TMUK) and he confirmed that the Compact II looks the same as the original with Windows 5 OS. Didn't have anymore tech specs to hand although don't be surprised if some more case colours appear. If I get anymore info I'll update.
BulletTime,
many thanks for your reply. Looks like we might get the long awaited WM5 through "official" channels then!
Hence my excitement!
Athena anyone?
I'm not entirely sure if this is the Athena or not. I heard rumours that this could be the athena but I also heard rumours of an athena that has a different shape than the Magician altogether. I think we'll have to wait and see ...
Could be the HTC Prophet
German tmobile also claims a new release of our mdacompact should appear before christmas. And "yes" they say its planned to be equipped with WM2005 wlan and 128mb.
Greetings

Are u sure the photo is not a fake? Compact II should have Start and OK hardware buttons instead of contacts and agenda. See

So Compact II will be a S110 with windows mobile 5.0? Nothing more, nothing less? Well, at least i think we'll be able to install its rom in our magician in short times!!!
Oh Prophet, we are u???
Bye
Could you please scan page 12 and link it for us?
Or at least tell us what further information about the MDAcII is given on page 12?
Edit:
It seems that the missing page/information is given here.
That's great, because we could use the firmware and have wm5 on our magican i suppose... If anyone have the solution for that please provide us with it.thx
Done for prophet

Hey all
Wasn't sure where would be best to post this so thought id post it in the most likely one!
I'm close to buying a 'pda-phone' and i have a choice between the XDA II or the XDA IIi,
i know (from the forums) that the XDA II can be upgraded to WM5, and that development is pretty much 'current' (i.e there are AKU3 roms available) so would it be best for me to go with one of these?
I currently have a Qtek 8310 and an I-Mate SP3i (which is of course running a WM5 rom!)
could users of either of these PDA's please advise me which is better.
I'd be using the PDA-phone mainly for calling (have sim with free minutes! ), reading E-Books (do a LOT of this, so quality of the screen is important) and watching movies if the device is fast enough!
could anybody who has/or does do any of the above please tell me of your experiences with this device.
THANK YOU!
Hi, I was suprised that Alpine forum doesn't contain any ROM upgrades. Is Himalaya WM5 ROM works for Alpine ? As the desriptions stated that they are also known as O2 XDA IIi.
Does such upgrade works ?

This it first time I've hread. Could you tell more about it!
no ... alpine & himalaya is different devices ...
Different Devices?
Himalaya & Andes (5 Viewing)
The Himalaya phone is sold as XDA II, MDA II, Qtek 2020 and many other names. The Andes is the updated version that has a 1.3 megapixel camera, sold (among other names) as the XDA IIi.
This is wriiten at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/
So somebody did something wrong.
no andes seem to have been a bastard son of himalaya which was not around for long at all dont recall seing any owner of andes in the forums
it was suppstly sold as IIi for a short while before the alpine took over
andes is suppose to be able to use himalaya roms but alpine is not!
i am quite confuse about this:-
