Hi I'm thinking of getting a new pda/phone but I'm not wure which one to go for... the Universal is very tempting but it's size puts me off a bit... where as the wizard seems ideal in size but I have read several post about how multitasking is difficult because the unit is slow. Any thoughts?
then go with the new TyTn. Its the size of the Wizard with the power almost the same with the Universal. The only thing that is not there is the VGA screen. Other than that, the TyTN has it all, 3G tri-band, decent 2MP camera, etc. Just read about it to make sure its what you look for.
I'm from the UK, is it available here?

Absolutely. Its launched first in Europe, and ppl in the US asked the same question, is it available in the US? =)

Orange do it on their website for 149.99 in the UK, it is known as the SPV 3100.
I have both. For phoning, the Wizard is FAR better. The same stands for the battery life. If you plan to do a LOT of Web browsing (where VGA is important), then, go for the Universal. Otherwise, get the Wizard.
If I were you, I'd get the Hermes though.
OK, I saw information on the 7500 and I really thinking on getting one...
Then I heard more about WM6 and no upgrades to it for the 7500 and thought I'd rather not get the 7500 then... besides it wasn't available.
Now theres an official launch in the USA of the x7501 which is nothing but the 7500 with WM6... !!!!!!!!!!!! wtf !!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_x7501.htm
HTC, what are you guys doing? Why the heck do you spread there will be no upgrades to WM6 when you at the same time just change the model number and make it run WM6?
You are happy to make customers wait to buy something today that is alkready outdated before it's been released. That feels a bit like treating customers like idiots.
Maybe I'm best off to stick with my now pretty JASJAR running WM 5 our WM 6 ....

maybe you haven't been following my post, i have told you there will be an ungrade on WM6 quite a long time ago, HTC said it already in 3GSM.
Anyway, HTC X7501 won't be out until summer in USA. So if you want a Athena, you better buy it now, it can be then update to WM6 in summer
I can also confirm that an upgrade will be available. Although I don't know when.
Ameo Upgrade from Whom?
Re: ROM update with WM6
If we have the T-Mobile Ameo wouldn't we need a ROM update from T-Mobile to get exactly the same feature set? Has T-Mobile committed to releasing one? I guess in the worst case the HTC one will work on the Ameo?

not sure if T-mobile will release WM6 upgrade, but HTC will 100% release one, and we can then upgrade to that one
But can we update the T-Mobile Ameo with the HTC Advantage WM6 rom?

GREAT ! My worries are gone.
Anyone know if tomtom 6 or some other GPS software with USA maps will be provided with the 7501? I will be waiting for this one if so.

i am sure you can upgrade to WM6, either through the official update release , or though some hack (super cid). And the finial result is, you will be able to upgrade to WM6
Does anyone know if the 7501 will be offered unlocked and unbranded in the USA or if it will only be available through USA wireless carriers? HTC has not sold directly in the USA so this would be a first for this market.

They will...... don't know when exactly.
thats brilliant news about WM6!
I'd be quite hapy for the HTC ROM, not too fussed about the T-Mob update - wahat would we loose anyway if we used the HTC upgrade? The pink templates and web and wank?
Hi,
I look at the Specs on the x7501 in the HTC web site and there is now second camera.
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=752 there is a second camera, so how is wrong ?
Too bad the one coming out in america doesnt have a camera.

Good catch. The pictures and specifications both indicate the 7501 will NOT have a front camera, which sucks (even if I don't use it). Now it depends on pricing. If the 7500 and 7501 cost about the same I will go for the 7500.

i think there is a mistake, from you picture, you can see the second camera, basically, they are all the same, only difference is 7500 with WM5 and 7501 for wm6 (due in summer)

oh, i have just notice the it is true that 7501 don't have the front camera.
I will phone my HTC contact next week and try to confirm this.
1-) I've been using T-mobile MDA vario for 4 months. I love it. Now, I want to buy the same phone for my sister. However, I am not sure which one to buy. Cingular 8125 or T-Mobile Mda vario. As far as I know they are pretty much the same phones, however, there might be some littlie difference that I don't know. If anyone know what the differences are please help me to choose. (differences not including the appearences of the phones)
2-) I am also not sure why Mda costs a little bit more than the 8125.(compared prices at ebay) I would appreciate if someone could explain me this point too.
there are only one or two differences.
1 the rom (which you can change anyway)
2 the serial number, and g3 or g4. it seems that as htc were building the wizards, they changed bits as they went. for example, 4gb mini sd cards work only after the serial number ht605... and g4s are more difficult to flash a rom to.
So, does the Cingular always comes in G4 and the T-mobile MDA alway comes in G3?
no, sorry, I was very unclear, what I meant to say was that those are the only differences between any wizards. and it would just be random luck what you get, though if you assume that g4 are a later serial number, maybe they all are g4 by now.
the only difference you can know in advance is the rom.
you could try asking to boot up the phone before you buy it to check for g3/g4 if you're buying in a shop.
I would just buy the cheapest (or get a hermes)

Thank you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the G3
OK, I'm on the verge of getting an Advantage, but wondering whether to wait or not. The big differences seem to be:
1. The video cam (front-facing) supposed to be dropped from the 7501. Is this useful? Anyway to use this for teleconferencing, etc.?
2. WM6 upgrade is promised for the 7500, right?
3. Any other know differences? Any other thoughts? Any other possible hardware upgrades or fixes?
To me, it's looking like getting 7500 might be best, plus I'd have it sooner. Unless I'm missing something...
Thanks for all the help, people.
Your pretty much right on track. Though, some are still on the fence concerning the WM6 upgrade. It's only a matter of time before the U.S. cell companies get video conferencing infastructure in place, and then the front camera may be useful. Until then, however, its not really necessary. Not other differences that I know of.

Haven't tried it yet but in theory the latest version of MS Portrait should allow WLAN videoconferencing with a PC via webcam on PC and built in front facing cam on Advantage.
Whether thats actually useful or not is another matter..
yea dude...the X7500 WILL HAVE A WM6 Uprgrade... even im on the verge of gettin an x7500 although i received an EMAIL from amazon yesterday...and they're offering the x7501 for like $850.00 whereas the x7500 is a bit more...and i tell you it'll be worth it!!!

I am not surprise that X7501 is cheaper, after all, it's has lower spec compare to x7500 and later release date, these factor will make any product cheaper. And also x7501 is specially for US, as you might know, electronic are cheaper in US, all the x7500 are import from europe where the electronic is more expensive. So again, it make sense x7501 is cheaper.
Well after much swithering I've decided to replace my iPhone 3G with an HTC HD2, I've gone for it over a Nokia N900 or Google Nexus One as it to me seems the better device than the N900 and also has worked out much cheaper than importing the N1 from the United States.
Couple of queries, its brand new and sealed from someone who upgraded on T-Mobile, does anyone know if T Mobile UK include the pouch for the HD2 that comes with it elsewhere?
Also what should I do first when I get my device, I know there are a wide range of ROM's and cooked ROMs, etc what is the best one to use?

I read somewhere that T-Mobile data can be restrictive in what it will and won't let you use, like IM clients, etc is this the case?
i'm not on t-mobile, i tried to be of some help regarding your 2nd question
