Howdy, long time reader, first time poster...
I totally fell in love with the HTC series of Pocket PC's after my mate got himself a Himalayan, it's everything i neeed (read: want).
Ive spent the past few days reading through these forums and a few others on the merits of the magician. I like it.. i was totally convinced i was gonna get one.. then i stopped, Win Mobile 2003! :|
So then i saw the prophet and i've noticed there was quite a bit of talk over the previous weeks about it coming to australia soon.. Does anyone have any when? and under what name?
I'm planning on switching providers when i get my JAM or JAMin.. so one last question, does anyone know if any of the major telcos in Australia are bringing it soon?
I hope i dont have to settle for a Magician thats going to be totally out dated by the time im upgrading my phone again.
Thanks in advance..

It's gonna be called I-Mate Jamin' expect around mid-Feb in Australia. Telstra usually deals with I-Mateso you can buy through them on a plan but if you want to buy outright...try calculatorking.com.au which bundles i-mate GOLD warranty (2 years + emergency phone in case your set goes for repair, 24 hour support)
So i did some research today and last night, spoke to many people about the prophet and alot of them have no idea it exists
Seems like O2 have no intention of doing a Prophet based device.
iMate customer service had no idea, so they put me onto CellNet (the australian iMate distributor) and they say march/april
Expansys says it'll be out in 4-6 weeks.
Everyone i spoke to at telstra/vodafone/optus had no idea it existed.. telstra say however, they wont launch the fone for a month after it comes out as they test all their fones for a month before selling them.
Spose i'll be waiting a few weeks or getting a K-Jam
HTC prophet
Order from Expansys HK...they appear available within 3-7 days..

That is definitely true. In fact, I don't expect O2 to come out with any more HTC-based devices.

Just a guess, at least for our Asia-Pacific region - since Dopod & O2 are both targeting the same countries and markets, there would be a clash of interest if O2 marketed the same Dopod-branded HTC devices.
Since Dopod is with HTC, O2 has selected (or had no choice but to select) Quanta.

The "definitely true" was in response to to Ruxton's comment that "there are no O2 devices based on the HTC prophet". It's definitely true... because it is. There *ARE* no O2 devices based on the HTC Prophet.
My next sentence, the "guess" as you put it (and yes, it is a guess), was my "expecation" that O2 will not come out with anymore HTC devices.
Makes sense as Quantum are not new to the PC Market at all. You have to admit the Atom is a pretty good first start with a Pocket PC of this size, ok so there are a few niggles but nothing an update can't sort
There was a ROM update for the Atom already and that didn't solve much. It just made the device usable from what I've read. What is this then, a BUY IT NOW, USE IT 3 MONTHS LATER offer from o2?
I was WRONG! O2 Germany (at least) is doing the HTC Prophet as "O2 Neo"
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2868
Available sometime in Spring at an unknown price is O2 Germany's version of the HTC Prophet known as the Xda Neo (who comes up with these names?). Perhaps the most noteworthy bit of the announcement is the fact that the Xda Neo will include AKU 2.0 - effectively adding some long-awaited features such as stereo support over Bluetooth (A2DP) and the MSFP (the final piece of the puzzle in Microsoft's push-email solution).
Don't think this will be available in Asia
Hey There Guys,
i'm sliding off topic - Sorry.
my g/f is currently in New York and i would like her to get me a device (Neo/Jamin/Prophet).
do you know which operator sells it there or where can she get it? (do they sell Sim Free devices?)
what is the ~price?
Thanks ahead and Sorry for my bad English,
Lior.

MDA PRO = NOKIA 6630 (Unlockble). do not buy MDA pro specialy from Ebay as its impossible to Unlock (Sim)
What are you referring to? The MDA Pro and the Nokia 6630 are not even remotely the same. The difference also begins with the phone OS.
MDA pro = Nokia 6630 & GERMANS TO BE BLAMED
:lol: You know wot ***** boy, 6630 and mda pro are both same as they cant use on anyother networks except the one they've agreed to rob the customers. and you germans make things more complicated by making these dodgy phones and taking the piss on innocent consumers. isnt it dude 8) 8) GERMANS TO BE BLAMED FOR MY BLOODY 450 POUNDS MDA PRO (they are clever little *@#&*$)

If you think I'll stoop down to your level, then you're sorrowly mistaken. Secondly, get your sorry facts right. Nokia is a Finnish company and PocketPCs are manufactured by HTC from Taiwan for the most part. And last but not least, I was born and raised in the States so keep your narrow minded and misplaced statements to yourself if you have nothing useful to contribute.

obviously a no brainer this guy, i bet he's about 12yrs old throwing toys out of his ill-educated pram
obviously he dosent actually read correctly either,
MDA pro isnt German!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bloody Korean
oh i forgot, your nickname dosent really go with Korean insults only German
Ohh and a bit of news for you, if you read it, or even remember it, at some point in 2006 mobile providors will not be allowed to lock devices to their networks..voiding your arguement.

Hey all sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum to post this , i have the htc magic unlocked rooted etc but i cant get on with not having a keyboard , so i thought i would ask if anyone wants to swap their dream for my sapphire ? my email is [email protected] uk number is 447533363873 i will need the dream to be unlocked , i have box etc phone is 2 months old mint mint mint condition not 1 scratch anywere . many thanks and sorry again if this is the wrong place to post ,
is it the vodaphone or the htc branded magic
In other words, 256/192 (i.e. identical to dream but no keyboard) or 512/288 (which at least trades the keyboard for more flash/ram).
Hi sorry I should have said its Vodafone HTC
Theres a rather large problem with your plan here..
Your sapphire is locked to vodafone, our dreams are locked to tmobile. Unless you're going to pay to get both unlocked, I doubt you'll find anyone to trade.
I have an android Dev phone. I would consider trading, if for no other reason, because I can sell yours for a bit more.
To be honest though, I probably wouldn't want an even trade. I have 2 skins, a hard cover, and a 2 week old 2600 innocell battery, a bodyguardz screen cover installed (and an extra BG screen cover). I would also want you to get yours unlocked.
I was planning on selling my g1 soon anyway, because to be honest, I am thinking about buying a Toshiba TG01.

I think most of you guys don't use your herald anymore and I've recently started to get tired of mine(due to i fail at flashing through sd card) so I'm in the market for a new phone. Just wondering if you guys can give some feedback on phones you may recently have bought. I'm on the tmobile network so i was thinking of getting the g1 or new mytouch phone. If you guys have any suggestions or feedback on those phones or any other ones i would appreciate it. I love my wing but I think its time to upgrade.

That's the problem, it is an if at this point. The Touch Pro 2 is already confirmed on the big 4 in the US, it's already released on half of them, and releasing on the other half in the next 60 days. It's the "it" phone this year, and probably well into next year as well. It's definitely my next phone.
IMHO "upgrading" to a new Android device is in all reality "downgrading". What makes WinMo great, the customizations...the programs...the hackability, it hardly exists on Android. Yes yes I know before someone comes in here and goes all custom ROM on me, you can do stuff with it. But Android to me is just another pretty dumbphone OS, *cough* iPhone *cough*.
You took the words right out of my mouth dude.
I've had my Wing for more than 2 years and it's done good for me even though, spec wise, it is a crappy phone lol.
The phone I'm getting next is the Touch Pro 2.
I have both the TP2 and the G1, now, in defense of android, it can be a fun system, but I have several issue with it, speed being the main one. Using a custom rom, and actually installing apps slows the phone to a crawl.. the tp2 is awesome.
I cant wait until i get my Tmobile Touch Pro2. At least my wings will go down using the newest Windows Mobile,lol. Even though i plan to keep mine.
TP2 looks amazing, and I might spring for it when it comes out. Right now I use a G1 with a custom ROM and no complaints about the speed
Uhm, you do know that the TP2 is already out right?
