I'm looking to move to one of these as my 8125 has died, what should I know? Also I have a few questions...
- What's video dialing? Is this a video conference feature?
- ATT says they will offer an upgrade to WM6 in Q3, anyone know if you will have to pay for it?
- How many of you have upgraded your phones to WM6? Was it hard? Worth it?
- Is it available in silver and black? I seem to see different descriptions of the phone.
8125 has died, what should I know? Also I have a few questions...
- What's video dialing? Is this a video conference feature?
Yes, not quite useful so far in my opinion
- ATT says they will offer an upgrade to WM6 in Q3, anyone know if you will have to pay for it?
Nobody really knows what is officialy going on with WM6, there are allready great cooked roms available that may be far better than the official one
- How many of you have upgraded your phones to WM6? Was it hard? Worth it?
I did, toyed with allmost all roms available for my hermes, and I was pretty happy with most of those
- Is it available in silver and black? I seem to see different descriptions of the phone.
No idea, as I have an Orange branded one
Thanks for the quick response What was your favorite ROM out of all of them? The newest "Black" one? Also where could I find a guide on how to upgrade the ROM for it?
You can find all the information you in the WIKI .. go figure...
Really? He can find out which ROM was fun_key's favorite in the Wiki? Care to provide the link?

Are there any plans from distrubutors of the Magician to release WM2005?
Or is will be there any unofficial release like on the Himalaya?
As it was written probably A MILLION TIMES in this forum:
NO, there are no plans to offer WM2005 officially on Magician.
NO, currently there are no known plans of some unofficial source to offer WM2005 on Magician.
HOWEVER: When WM2005 comes for Magician, you could easily find the information using the SEARCH function of this board.
BTW: What do you need WM2005 for? Is it so much better? Has it less bugs than mature WM2003SE?
Didnt mean to hit a nerve there, was just a simple question...
Even if we found a way it would be a pain in the *ss cos it wouldn't fit in the amount of ROM. Face it: the Magician is too small! :wink:
The Qtek S110 is a different story tho... :idea:
it will fit, as W2005 will be released for Dells and HPs with same ROM size(64MB)
Hoping somebody will cook it for magician

I hope you made same brilliant remark to all the HTC Typhoon users?? who will never ever recieve a official w2k5 rom! but are all playing with w2k5 now. It is very well possible that HTC has already made a rom available with w2k5 we don't know it's up to the providers to release it for the magician, but I guess your right they never will. Maybe next time it's more helpfull to say nothing then to point someone out the search function, because this i a forum for a bunch of wackos who try to do the impossible with their phones hehe
I'm waiting for the next Magician sized device with WM5.0, so far the only thing I've heard about is the ETEN m600 (or was it 700).
It will happen soon enough when the next devices become available. I don't see them releasing it on this one though. There is already a 128MB one on its way and the spec for that still says WM2003.
Hey guys, this is my first post, so please excuse my ignorance regarding windows mobile phones. I'm currently using a Sony Ericsson M600i, and I want to make the switch to Windows Mobile. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on ordering a Softbank X01HT. I'm just wondering if there is something newer and better than the Hermes that is coming out soon that I should wait for instead of purchasing the softbank now. I do have some questions regarding flashing the ROM on the softbank to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM, but I think it's best to start another thread regarding that specific question. Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thanks.
PDAdb.net is a good place for learning about coming models.
If I were to replace my JASJAM I would probably pick this one. Not HTC though, but with my experience with their hardware so far I'd say that that doesn't matter much.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=733 HTC kaiser i will be waiting for this one
Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the link. Very cool site. The one you linked to looks nice. In terms of specs, the one replacing the Hermes has USB 2.0 and a built in GPS. That's about all that I can see in terms of differences. Well besides the cooler way the qwerty keyboard comes out of course.
I think I might go ahead and put the order in for the Softbank.

Besides that its going to have a 3.0 camera and 256mb of ram.
Can anyone tell me if this device is truly capable of displaying the alleged 262144 colours/scales?
My understanding is that WM6 only supports 65536.

how about htc advantage with built in gps 8gig hd,5"inch screen available in uk tmobile ameo

Firstly, a big thank you to all those members of this forum that post usefull infomation, whilst I don't post, I do find most of the posted info very useful.
A couple of questions:
1) Are T-Mobile going to offer a WM 6 Upgrade in the UK (I assume the O2 UK upgrade is official ?)
2) Have the issues with WM 6 and the Blackberry Rim software been resolved ?
Many thanks in advance
Retronana
Last I heard T-Mobile had said NO, they weren't going to give us an official upgrade.
Not that it's a problem, Network's own releases are always notoriously bad, look at the reviews of O2's offering for example, much better off with the software direct from HTC or a cooked ROM like one of Tom's B&B.
Sorry don't use Blackberry software here.
Thanks for the info with regards to the ROM's, I'm prepared to install HTC ROM although don't want to stuff my Blackberry Connect software at the same time.
Can anyone recommend an actual ROM that they have used on a T-Mobile UK device that retains the original features? Or at least list what is missing?
Cheers, J.
As a newby, I have upgraded my Orbit to WM6, but looking on the forums I see many people have upgraded to new/different roms? Are these roms just different skins or is there more to them than that? Also, can anybody recommend a good one to upgrade to? Does Touchflo make the Orbit work a bit like the iphone? Thanks.
Hey folks,
I've tried searching and there's no forthcoming result on this (despite that I suspect it *must* have been covered somewhere) - perhaps it's my dyslexia?
Anyway:
I'm now ready to install a WM6 ROM on my currently WM5 hermes from Tmobile.
I'm looking for people's opinions as to whether it's worth my while and what the performance differences are? (obviously it's a lot of work getting things set up again so I want to be sure it's worthwhile).
Is WM6 running slower on hermes that WM5? or faster?
Has anyone a ROM they would reccomend? Else I'll go with the Tmobile standard.
So opinions please!
Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it!
cmon!!! you cant be serious!!!!
ppl are looking to upgrade their devices to wm6.1 and you want us to compare wm5 to wm6? i mean seriously......look at every device thread, even the older devices, you can practically see wm6/6.1 for almost every single devices, even devices which are waaaay older than wm6. and you probaby wont find anyone getting excited over any wm5 releases anywhere.......doesnt that tell you something?/
if you searched hard enough, you could probably find someone who compared the performance of wm5 to wm6 but those will probably be with older builds of wm6, and those just dont compare with the current builds. your best bet i would say is to try it out urself, its not that hard.
I know it's not that hard to test it - I'm already running it on my blue-angel.
And it's running well.
But comparing hermes to blue angel is comparing apples to oranges.
It's a *huge* amount of work doing the upgrade. Not the actual upgrade. That's, as you say, rediculously easy. But installing 20/30 medical textbooks? dozens of other programs, fixing out my network setup on it....
these take hours, and in a casual not setting hours aside for it fashion a couple of weeks.
So I'm understandibly not wanting to take the risk and plung in until I'm sure it'll be worthwhile.
Anyone got any experience? Has WM6 upgraded the speed? or is the slight graphical revamp a strain on the processor?
Also should I go with tmobile's own ROMs for WM6 or a community alternative?
Opinions pretty pretty please to save me hours of work!
2 words.......user customization
there truly is a HUGE diffrence between wm5 and wm6/6.1. i would recomend going with a WM6.1 build from the get go considering all the programs you say you load on your hermes.
I am currently using the DVH Rom build 19400(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387516 ). I find it to be the fastest, loaded but not bloated, and honestly is the best i've used in quit some time. He has apparently released a new rom (build 19701) but i have yet to try it out. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388747)
best of luck
molesaied88, TRY 19701, ITS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!Quick and VERY stable... I love it.
Thanks folks.
Sorry I took ages to reply i had exams! Right so you guys are advocating using a custom home cooked WM6 Rom rather than an original one?
(I'm assuming these are faster? Are they fully featured though?)
Now I'll need to decide whether to go with Ultra or molesaid's suggestion. Anyone know which is currently running more spritely?
Again thanks again! I know the forum must be deluged with this kind of stuff
I have found WM6 to be much, much more stable than when I had WM5. Not as many lock ups of freezing as before. I used to have to soft reset my phone all the time because of lock ups, but with WM6 I rarely reset my phone anymore.
I would say that stability and the larger pool of programs for it made WM6 the choice for me.
