OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?
I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?
Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?
Here!
Many thanks, getting it now
Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle
Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.
Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM
True
Sorry, blonde moment there.

I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.
Just upgraded the bosses MDA with the latest i-mate rom, and, although everything's working great, I hadn't noticed that the special characters on the keyboard were in different places on these phones!
Is there a way to replace the keyboard definition with the proper one, so she doesn't have to keep guessing?
ive jus upgraded my vario n just checked mines fine! :roll:
I am in the market and looking at the Jamin, I have the Imate Kjam and the biggest issues was that the Stylus would fall out, are there any reports with the Jamin having the same issue?
Also does the Jamin support push email as the latest ROM for the Wizard?
Thank you!
My stylus is fine... no issues. Only had the device 2 weeks though.... I too came from a Wizard and love the JAMin! I rarely used the keyboard so this is a much slimmer unit to carry for me... plus the longer metal stylus is a plus for screen tappers like me.
Latest ROM updates have AKU2 push email... imate's will be out soon. I am using the Qtek OS on my imate right now with good success...
Thank you that is exactly the comments I was looking for, my wife wants my Kjam but like you I rarely use the KB so was thinking of ordering the Jamin and handing the Kjam over to her.

Is this ROM out?
Is A2DP supported?
Hi, just a quick question.
My Qtek s100 has died(repaired) for the 3d time, and that means that i can have a replacement phone. they asked me if i wanted my money back or a s200 instead(as the s100 is no longer available).
is the s200 as bad/slow as some say?. will i be dissapointed?
i want to be able to run tomtom5 on the s200. :?:
is there some other phone/pda that you recommend instead?
i need to send in the s100 tomorrow or tonight.
edit. i also have the qtek 8310(tornado) and that can be slow sometimes :?
Changen my s100(drowned ) on s200 about 2 weeks ago. No regrets at all. I love my Prophet

ok that sounds good, you are not feeling that its slow or something like that?. have you tried tomtom or overclock on it?
thanx!
I didn't try tomtom.
When overclock it works like... ferrari or smt I got latest ROM now and do not feel like i need to overclock it at all.
good morning! yesterday i did an upgrade to my MDA Pro to WM 6.1 but i noticed that the WM6 recognize the keyboard input as QWERTY and the MDA PRO keyboard is QWERTZ! Is there any patch to fix that problem? Thanks!
Never heard of that issue, try flashing another ROM
ok, i will try later thanks!
