This are realy briliant news!
Im 100% sure now, that we will have Wm 6.1 for our x7500´s.
That also excited me .. although I'm a little in the dark about what the advantages of 6.1 are? Is it just an update, or does it have a any new features/things to actually get excited about?
Please do away with those magnets and addin a microphone. Also, I want them to use the flash disk instead of HDD
I have no doubt that will be WM7 for Athena)

When the infos i heard about Wm7 are trough, then we wont be able to use Mulit-Touch, Shake-feature and more :-(
All this functions is based on built-in camera

But not multi-touch...or am i wrong?
Hope here are some german devs, who will share a german WM6.1 and then a german WM7
OOO man i hope that the 16gb version will be flash or something solidstate and that it will be a drop in replacement so that we will be able to get in on that sweet action.

No,sorry.
Its HDD again:
T-Mobile Germany today unveiled the T-Mobile MDA Ameo 16 GB, the follower of the earlier released MDA Ameo, T-Mobile's version of the HTC Athena.
While the device design stays the same - more or less (except some keyboard rearrangements as T-Mobile Germany said in its press release) - the Ameo 16 GB gets a doubled hard disk drive, featuring 16 GB, compared to the original MDA Ameo/HTC Athena and T-Mobile Germany accidentally confirmed that the new Ameo will run with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional:
I have red the offical prerelease of the news and I have found intresting sentence:
das Betriebssystem Office Mobile 6.1, das Office 2007-Dateiformate unterstützt. Nutzer können Word- und Excel-Dateien aus Office 2007 am Ameo 16 GB betrachten und bearbeiten. Weitere Merkmale von Office Mobile 6.1 sind die Möglichkeit, Dateien aus ZIP-Ordnern zu öffnen und anzuzeigen, und die verbesserte Darstellung von Diagrammen in Excel Mobile.

First TM say: OS Office Mobile 6.1
Then only Office 6.1
Does TMob maybe mean the 16gb Ameo will have WM6 with Office 6.1?
http://www.t-mobile.de/unternehmen/presse/pressemitteilungen/1,12219,19839-_,00.html
bye
Nice to know we'll have the 6.1 rom to play with soon enough. (Or rather .. I'll let others play with it and add all the goodies into some custom ROM - rom cooking is well beyond me, I wouldn't know where to start, despite an interest to )
An updated version of the keyboard was mentioned too - that isthe key layout is redesigned, but still nothing of it being backlit or anything else terribly fancy
The hard drive upgrade sounds nice, but a bit o a bugger for those of use with the current model, as far as I'm aware, it's not the easiest thing to get ahold of the current hitachi drives, let alone a 16gb version. Plus, even with the service manual, the athena is a b*tch to open
Just my 2 cents
I realy think, its not WM6.1 its WM6.0
you can read here (german):
http://www.golem.de/0801/57109.html
Im Ameo 16 GB kommt nun Windows Mobile 6.0 zum Einsatz. Neben den üblichen PIM-Applikationen zur Adress-, Termin- und Aufgabenverwaltung gibt es die Mobile-Varianten von Word, Excel und PowerPoint in den aktuellen Versionen. Dadurch lassen sich auch Dateien aus Office 2007 damit bearbeiten. Zudem liegen ein E-Mail-Client, der Internet Explorer Mobile und der Windows Media Player Mobile bei.

Oh snap!
Perhaps the linked article was confusing it with Office 6.1?
Maybe we wont get WM6.1 for our Athena

No!
I heared its for Toch and non Toch pdas. But there will no be a non-phone version. Thats my info
WM6.1 and WM7 will be released in the same 3 versions as WM6.
Standard: Smartphones (Without Touchscreens)
Professional: Pocket PC's with Phone and Touchscreens
Classic: Pocket PC's / PDA (No Phone, With Touchscreen)
WM6.1 and WM7 will be released in the same 3 versions as WM6.

Are you sure? I have got an info, that Micr. plans to have only 2 version for Wm7: "Smarthone" - without touchscreen and "Smartphone Pocket Pc" with touchscreens. But no WM7 for non-phone-pda´s. This is a strategy from Micr. for get the marked back against the iPhone.
Thats the info i have.
I will upgrade when they put in a 64GB SSD, and do away with the stupid magnet keyboard (stick with the graffiti text input, or copy the Apple phone keyboard).
One other thing, video drivers to take advantage of the screen real estate!!!

I don't know about this one. HTC Should be able to get a new PocketPC Phone Edition device for 2005. However, I wonder if we'd ever be able to get our hands on this device...
Quand band is a must for NA.
VGA should have been included with te Himalaya.
Anyway, let's hope that HTC will get this device on the market in time, at a reasonnable price.
Talking about the price I think it could be embarrassing to see the XDA IV on the market only few month after you bought version III...! :?
Rumors said that XDA IV should have UMTS capabilities, and this skill could be interesting in Italy. At present we have one phone company offering this kind of service, but in a short time they should become three.
I think the XDA 4 is for "3" and the XDA 2 is not! I dont realy want a "3" phone, so I look at them as two different products.

Yeah, but it also says it's going to be quad band GSM, which is pretty relevant these days for international travellers.
It is real
MDA4 is real, because announced MDA3 is not made by HTC (as MDA1 and MDA2). T-Mobile ordered this piece of hardware somewhere in China and labelled it as MDA3, but it has nothing in common with maker of MDA1 and MDA2. T-Mobile did it just because he needed a response to Motorola MPx (WindowsMobile Communicator with the keyboard and WiFi). It't just a temporary solution - the real successor of MDA2 will be the MDA4 made by HTC again.
That makes more sence!
would be too much to ask them to include a built-in IR beamer for virtual keyboard ?? :wink:
The idea of having many built-ins looks apealing, but I personally prefer many interfaces (SDIO, CF, ... etc) for accessories that should allow you to get the latest models without the need to get a new device.
I'm confident as well that the day will come when we can replace the CPU and add RAM as we do with the current PCs

The word is out!!! :
German tmobile is offering the mdacompact 2 around middle of november 2005.
Specs:
128mb
Windows mobile 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seemingly NO wlan!!!!
See photo from official catalogue:
thats a joke... isn't it
no wlan... than i see no serious reason to buy an mdac2 instead an mdac1... only because of 128mb an wm05...

No, its not a joke!!!
The employees couldnt tell me a price yet, and the catalogue definately does not show specifications with wlan!!!!

You should be able to pick up the catalogue yourself at your favourite tmobile store within the next few days.

No wifi for any new PPC phone is a joke, saying that, no EDGE is aswell!
I wonder, would the MDA2 rom work on the normal magician.... cause if it has no wifi module wouldnt it be just ur run-of-the-mill Qtek S110 / upgraded magician?
If this is the real deal, there wouldn't be much reason for current Magician owners to update. But at least they could keep on selling this very popular phone for some time yet, provided they dump the price.
And why shouldn't they? Surely they have made enough money already on the Magician, so whatever they can get in on v2, is just an welcome bonus.
If the WM5 rom can be installed on the current Magicians, they would even get a very happy userbase, which most likely would choose the same brand again
Btw, have you noticed the lower two buttons are the same as on the current Magician? Oh well, guess we shouldn't read too much into this early picture...
This product is similar to the i-mate New Jam with 128mb ram and WM2003SE, I have this device and it is very nice,very stable and i love it.
The only difference is WM5 and if they do release it then we all can have WM5 on our devices.
It's coming out in the UK too, but in a different colour.....
I wouldn't presume you'll be able to upgrade a Magician with a Magician2 ROM. After all you can't upgrade a Himilaya with an Alpine ROM.
Unless of course it really is exactly the same device - with WM5?
Well, it LOOKS to be the exact same device. If they did any upgrades, wouldn't they advertise it?
After the Raptor hoax I guess most people don't wanna get their hopes up again, but I find this thing very interesting
For all disbelievers
@all,
stop doubting!
here you see main cataloge page and specs page:
note: specs page does not state wlan, while other machine specs does!!!
just changed specs page to full page

Yes they do,
extensible memory = sd-io/mmc slot.
But SD is not usual memory, it is storage.
But I wouldn't be surprised it marketing is mixing it "accidentally" up... :roll:
We're in November today ... can't wait to see how this develops!!!
shafez - does it have built in wifi?

If that's the new MDA Compact II, why is the spec on the below different?

It claims to have Wifi and the two buttons seem to have different functions than this German one.

Your Topaz was delivered with WM 6.5?
What language, where did you get it from?
i belive he mean that Windows mobile 6.1 is windows mobile too
From what I can make out they are rebranding WM 6.5 to "Windows Phone" and this will become an inferior 'poor man's' OS alongside WM7.
Any phone running 'Windows Phone' will be a cheaper model, with WM7 reserved for 'premium' phones.
An interesting marketing strategy, considering that WM6.5 is only now starting to appear as an upgrade promise on the top end flagship devices coming out of HTC...
i hope we will be able to get WM7 on our phones, having "windows phone" will annoy me.
also [email protected] microsoft windows tag, why not just use QR codes like everyone else. if they really expect people to take up windows tags, they are kidding themselfs.

I don't know why they aren't being released.
Those games were already out for Android. All that had to be done was to release them with Xperia Play controls.
They launched a trailer first, then they took it off. Then displayed their icons in XP launcher, then took them off. Dunno what they are planning :S
Hi,
I'm one of the lucky guys which had ordered during the first day so maybe they will really deliver at 25. September...
Because of the new unrootable '51.1.2.0_user_512073320' FW I hope they will deliver it with an older preinstalled FW.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/ota-update-51-1-2-0-t2847751)

I ordered mine on Saturday Evening and it was stating before January 1st 2015 already. What I am wondering is does the menu offer language change as I dont really understand German....
I ordered mine 1 day after the presentation. I hope it will be here on 25th this month.
And it would be so nice if I could root this box to watch movies from my HDD or USB stick with MX movie player.

Hopefully there will be a way to root the new firmware or downgrade etc.

Ordered mine on the 5th of September and didn´t get any info about shipping dates. Only "when its available". Well at least there will be time to see if its rootable until then.

I ordered mine on the Sunday with prime promo, shipment should have occurred on 25. This month, I think.
But anyway...
After reading about the disadvantages of the box (especially the unsure rootability and no way of mounting a hdd without root) I have cancelled my order.
Now I am waiting for a Android TV box from China. There is a really good competition out there.
But the hot price of 49€ won't be touched by them...
Also some boxes are still more expensive than 99€...
But I will have no problems with rooting etc. since they are often rooted from factory (some factory's even searching guys to create custom roms for it, for example the tbr box tronsmart orion r28, or the openhour).
I think I will live with the higher price and freedom of doing whatever I want with that box. Since I am not want to use prime more than the free month.
(Hoping xda will adopt these on their "family")

Just pick one of the supported boxes from Freaktab.com.
Like the Beelink R89. They have a great support Community and are more Powerfull then the Fire TV (40.000 Antutu Points vs. 25.000).

While the Amlogic S802 is awesome the RK3288 beats it (Not so much by Antutu 30.000 vs. 40.000) but the GPU the S802 uses is still the Mali 400 (The 8-Core Variant). This leads to higher power consumption and the S802 is allways pretty warm/hot. The RK3288 has the new Mali which is great for future games ect. and runs cooler.
You can also see this by looking at the power supply...most of the S802 Boxes have a 3A or 3.5A Power supply while the RK3288 ones have 2A or 2.5A.

Oh, looks like I misread your post. Yes, if you buy the German one new and it comes with 51.1.3.0 then you'll be screwed. If you already have one or buy a US one with an earlier version and then update with a prerooted 51.1.3.0, then you'd be fine.
I ordered my German Fire TV on just the 2nd day in the morning. I've got an Email with delivery notice of the 8th of October. So I guess it's not that bad like it was told from Amazon.
But I'm a bit unsure now, because I need some kind of Vpn for it (at least for YouTube and sometimes for Netflix) and if I would change in the Rooter my other devices won't work.
It is official.
I will get my fire tv from amazon germany on 25.09.
I talked with amazon:
Vielen Dank für das freundliche Gespräch.
