Hi guys, i am from Canada and wanna buy a ppc phone with BT, wifi, camera and faster CPU. is qtek 2020i a good choice? does it often freeze if many softwares are installed on it? is Expansys a reliable online shop? would you guys please give me some suggestion, thx alot.
...
Hmmm...Why not? 2020i is already a little bit outdated and therefore should be the price not so high. I have 2020(without I-MDA II)since May 2004 and I am still satisfied even is the concept already 2 years old. Yes maybe is it a little bit slow while running too many apps in multitasking,but 400MHz processor is working very well. The stability doesn't deppend on the number of installed applications,but on what kind of applications(unstable,crashing,conflicting,etc.). And what about the stability... Put there a Magneto and enjoy the rock-hard system kernel. The 2003se is also not bad. 2003 is outdated and non-friendly for many new applications(couldn't run on 2003). If you have a chance to buy it from a second hand(the price could be less than 500$!),then buy it!. It is not like a car(that you need be focused for a technicat state and for miles droven as well ). The electronics can working many years...with no problem. The software can be upgraded. My suggestion: TAKE THAT.
s Expansys a reliable online shop?

You've been trying to sell this for the last for months it seems - stick it in the m.e.n or the loot! Or stick it on ebay - asking the same things in different threads won't necessarily get you different answers....perhaps if you posted a price that you wanted rather than asking for offers. As I guide I sold a mint one on ebay last week for £300. The sooner you sell it, the more it'll sell for - the price of new technology goes down, not up, with age.

Mine is worth more than a refurb one because I have:
iPaq HX4700 (as new boxed) With WM5 installed
Original cradle, instructions, cables, disks and box etc
3 stylus including 1 with built in pen
Spare Battery 2000mAh x 2
Spare Battery 3600mAh x 1
External standalone charger for spare batteries
Additional power/sync cable
HP emergency charger (works off 9v battery)
Clip-on Thumbpad (part no 375265-001)
GPS - Rikaline X6 High Sensitivity CF Receiver (brand new still in box unused except for testing)
I agree , E-bay is crap ! I have just tried to sell my Exec and ended up in a tricky situation with a buyer with no feedback trying to get me to send to and unverified address - Paypal state that I'll only be covered by the seller protection policy if I send to a verified address , But I mailed e-bay about the matter and they suggested I go ahead and sell to the guy anyway ! talk about contradiction !
This is the third succesive time I have tried to sell an item on ebay and had the auction end with some idiot trying to rip me off
E-bay only seem to be interested in collecting their fee
Fortunately , I found a buyer oustside of ebay , and should I be looking to sell anything in the future , I'll be doing the same
Ebay just seems to be a big headache where higher value items are concerned these days :?

Hp's have *warranty* as well, and the 'refurb' classification is a generalisation, I have it on good authority the ebay items are brand new end of line with a full 2 yr warranty. They're even selling them from hp's www.ipaqchoice.co.uk site for £250! All the accesories are cheap too....
Richard
I can't help myself...
Ipaq choice are not cheap for accessories. If you purchase the accessories from Ipaq Choice you would pay £519.48 The following prices are cut and paste directly from the Ipaq Choice website
(they exclude VAT),
Screen Protectors Covertec £9.36
Battery 1,800 mAh (hx4700 series) HP £48.51
Extended Battery 3,600mAh (hx4700) HP £82.55

HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC HP £295.74
You are welcome to think that the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a HTC Universal, however I personally think both PDAs have pros and cons. The biggest con for the HX4700 is the lack of built in phone and 3G (although it wasn't orginally purchased as that type of device). While the HTC Universal is relatively big and heavy, and as good as the screen is, it's still not as good or big as the HX4700. Not everyone wants their phone built in to a PDA.
I've made a choice that I need my phone built into my PDA, and I need 3G speed so I have a HTC Universal, however it took me many months to finally accept that I could not keep using 2 PDAs. I've lived with both devices for a long time and it's not as clear cut as "the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a universal".

If we're going brand new, full price, then a Universal / jasjar is £644.95 :shock:

I didn't say the accesories were cheap from ipaqchoice, I said ipaqchoice sell the refurb units, and that the accesories were cheap - the batteries are on ebay.

I've still got them both, and I've also run the wm2005 update for the hx4700 ( did you? It's only just out - the official version I mean :wink: )
and do not rate it in comparison for the Universal. There is a lag opening menus despite the fast processor, and the display on the ipaq doesn't compare with my toshiba e800 or the jasjar in VGA.
Richard
I obvioulsy misunderstood about your mention of cheap accessories :wink:
There are some good registry tweaks for getting the HX4700 running smoothly, they are different to the HTC Universal ones. In my opinion I got the HX4700 running faster. I use a USA ROM and yes I've only had it installed for 3 weeks but that was long enough to get to know the performance.
My wife has my old Toshiba e800 and again in my opinion the screen is not as good as the iPaq. I'm sorry if you don't like me having a different opinion to you.
I have already said how good I think the HTC Universal is - I already own one!
I respect your opinions and I also like other PDA's!
Be happy

Just won an auction for a qtek 9000 with tomtom 5.21 and a tomtom BT antenna..
Paid the ridiculous sum of 265 $ for it all with posting..
did i get ripped of ?
It is to serve purely as a navigation in my car, as i have a hermes as primary phone.
And hence comes my question.
Will there be any need for me to update to WM6 ?
and if not which Wm5 rom is the most stable ?
Hope this is ok to ask and hope i dont start a flame war (distinct possibility in the hermes forum if u aint careful)
Charon
No upgrade needed...
As said above if you're just using the device for navigating in your car you probably don't need to upgrade - it might be a bit slow though... As for the price they regularly go for about $280 here in the UK so I think the price you paid is about average. Oh and I think once you see that 640x480 screen you might just change your mind about using it as just a navigation aid! I think most people here are using Helmi 3.5.1 if I'm not mistaken - don't use it myself as I've got WM6 installed on mine.
You Paid How Much?!
YOU PAID HOW MUCH?!
To my knowledge you got a really really really good deal. I've never paid less than $650 (USD) for any version of the Universal. Where did you auction, Ebay? If anyone has these device for: x< $650 I strongly advise you to sell it on Ebay where I constantly see these things top out at $800.
To answer your origionaly question you got a really good deal and no need to upgrade to WM6. I agree with the previous post that after using the Uni you might find your hermes to be inadequate. If you were to upgrade to WM6 the most stable ROM that I've tested would have to be the Latest Darkforce ROM (the bug for me was with playing Mpeg-4 encoded video files). Ivan's new ROM and Midget's is pretty stable I only have a few issues with email accounts that I posted about. Let me know how it goes with your new endeavor.
Very Happy to know that i got myself a good deal (I love good deals)
I bought it on a danish auction site called mobilauction.dk
it had been on for 10 days with no bidders and 5 min before auction ended i bid the minimum bid 1500 dkr = 265,5$
Normally they sell for 3-4000 Dkr here in denmark used 530-710$
That is what i have seen after digging around since i won the auction.
The main reason i got the hermes as primary is because i use it as modem for my laptop with hsdpa.
Thinking of selling it and getting a Moto Z8 when it arrives.
Have already ordered a Brodit carholder for my universal so i can sit nicely in my car.
If the quality of the calls is good i might use it as primary.
Getting a pioneer 9800BT installed on friday so it might be a nice carphone
And if i decide to use it as primary then i for sure must start flashing, will get serious withdrawel symptome if i dont flash weekly, bad habit from the hermes forum....
So for now i got a new toy to play with until the athena's come down in human prices :8
Just thought I'd offer it to anyone here first before putting it on ebay.
