Howdy you all,
Not sure what a good price is but if interested pop here if you like.
One only for quick sale (upgrading). Used and loved for 8 months .
It is running the Telstra WM6 official upgrade, but happy to throw anyone else's good cooked ROM on it before I send it.

I bought my Magician on eBay and it is the best phone I have ever had. The phone is amazing. But of course 2 months have passed and I am dying to improve the phone. The Brand is a DOPOD 818, which is the HTC magician or Imate JAM.
I see everyone here has the ROM 1.06, mine is 1.01.00WWE with a ROM Date of 10/21/04/ I am sure I should be upgrading my ROM for the enhancements but I am not sure how or where to go.
Everyone says to go to Club Imate but unfortunately my IMEI is registered through DOPOD and not Imate. The DOPOD site does not look like it has an updated ROM.
Can I use a generic ROM? Where can I get one? I am in the USA using T-Mobile, if that helps.
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks,
John
Hi
I'm a newbie, have checked but can't see anyone has asked this specific question before:
I'd like an xda trion but I've been told by O2 it won't be coming to the uk.
So my question is, if I got hold of an unlocked HTC Hermes or one of it's equivalents and put in my o2 3g sim - could I use all of it's features?
i.e. would this be like using a Trion but without all the O2 software etc..
Also is there a recommended model to buy? - i.e. HTC or imate etc
Thanks
Do you really need to stay with O2 ? Because the T-Mobile and other operator deals can give you a 12/18 month contract + Hermes for the same price as a device without contract.

I bought an unlocked TyTN from mobilefun.co.uk aswell as a 1GB microSD (the UltraII one). Works a charm, no rpobelsm(LOL leaving that for irony) whatsoever (apart from ones ive made hehe). Its the HTC branded TyTN but ive flashed it with the imate JASJAM ROM and used the HTC ext rom to get the standard green content etc.... (having tried the updated unnofficial HTC rom, aswell as the dopod rom). 3G works a treat and im still on my O2 online contract (sim only.....1 month rolling contract...£25 line rental...1000 txts and 1000 off-peak minutes)
O2 is pretty good for me and im ok with not having the full speed internet and settling for (around) 1mbps on 3G.
kevino - I wish I could, my current contract doesn't finish until April though.... there's no way out is there?
mrvanx - thanks for the info that's great. Think I'll look for second hand though, it's expensive isn't it.
Also I'll have to look in to all this rom update stuff to get it all sorted.
Thanks guys - very helpful.
Kenny
Kenny,
April is a long way off. I just moved to T-Mobile because of W'n'W. Depending on your usage it may be worth your while to just get a new contract anyway. You can, I believe, buy out your contract if you want to keep your number. Anyway I'm sure you'll know what's best for yourself.
Hi Hermes Owners!
--
Just wanted to know what variants of the Hermes are available in HKG. I'm on my way to HKG in 2 weeks and am looking to purchase a second PocketPC Phone.
--
I really fancy the HTC TyTn or dopod CHT 9000 but I like the HTC TyTn more because the CHT 9000 has Chinese characters on the thumb board which is a bit confusing if I'm going to use the device in English.
--
The dopod 838 pro is nice and all, but I like the look of the TyTn more.
--
So this is the question... are the TyTn and/or CHT 9000 available anywhere in HKG? If yes where can I get it and how much would it be? If they are not available is the 838pro already available, how much is it going for? Of course I'm asking about English OS devices please. Thanks in advanced for any info.

Pards,
Dopod838Pro, CHT9000 and O2 Trion are available in HK. Only the first is the official one (with local warranty) and widespread. All of them are available in English.
I like the O2 trion design, but I dumped mine since it has alignmnet issue and bought Dopod instead, whihc has the almost same design and with local warranty since I live in HK. But the Trion is cheaper...I dont like the HTC and CHT 9000 design...
Bummer no HTC TyTn... so you would suggest the 838pro over the other variants cause it has warranty. However I live in Manila so the Hong Kong warranty wouldn't really do me any good do you think I should wait for the 838pro to get to Manila it would probably take ages and be much too overpriced... We don't even have the 838 here yet officially [they are a lot in the tiangges of V-Mall, I even saw Cingular branded ones but brand new ones are so few]. How much did you get the 838pro there in Hong Kong?
I got the O2 a month ago for 5.2K and the dopod is now 6.1K (on 24 months installment) with 1GB uSD.
I heard that dopod838pro will be released in Manila this month..
Well I don't think they'd accept int'l cards for those installment deals [tried to purchase a notebook on installment last January at FORTRESS and I was told they don't accept int'l credit cards] so I'd have to pay cash I guess. Hmmm 6K for the Hermes... is it AKU3.0 already? I have AKU3.0 [by Ivan] on my Exec and am loving it... I just need a spare phone really but the HTC s620 still hasn't been announced and SAMSUNGs SGH-i607 is slated for an end of the year [possibly early next year release] so I was thinking why not get the Hermes first but 6K HKD is kinda steep for a spare phone, I tried using a v3i as a spare phone but missed the full sync that outlook and windows mobile does... if the 838pro will be out in Manila this month then I might see it here before I go to HKG on the 20th... hopefully they price it competitively. I hear the CHT 9000 is around 36,000 PhP in Taiwan but then again the chinese strokes on the keyboard are very confusing... oh my now I don't know if I should wait for the HTC s620, Samsung SGH-i607 or just get the Dopod 838pro. Also there has still been no additional leaks about the Universal successor [HTC Omni] which was mentioned a few weeks back, I was hoping to see even mock ups or planned specs atleast about that... anyway sectorlord thanks for all the great info really appreciate it.
I just saw the MDA T-Mobile Variants in Mongkok... sells for 4.8K ..
Wow, looks so sexy and the front keys layout and shape is the BEST of all the variants..
hi everyone...
well, the time has come to say goodbye to my trusty old workhorse (i'm upgrading to a TyTn II).
it has served me really well and has been looked after!
a t-mobile MDA Pro (unlocked of course!), with a 4GB SD card.
I can install whatever ROM you want on her.
i have the original packing etc. so it would arrive in good condition.
i was looking for approx. 300 euros.
(of course....please feel free to make me an offer!)
any other questions? fire away!
ah yes, I'm near to munich, Germany...
regards, francis
p.s. should anyone be interested, I might sell my HTC Hermes (Orange SPV M3100, unlocked), too...
I have just bought a HTC Kaiser on flebay and even though I will miss my Wizard(s..) I think it is getting a bit long in the tooth and I fancied a change
Anyway I was wondering what a Wizard is now worth? I think I paid roughly UK £150 about 18-months ago. It is a G3 & SIM/CID Unlocked and is 'as new' (i.e. box & all original bits) however it is showing signs of wear and tear as it's been in and out of pockets, the screen is perfect however. It is currently running a customised WM 6.0 ROM, though this would be changed before selling.
Any ideas what I should be expecting on eBay?
Cheers
Andy
I was wondering the same thing as I've been toying with selling mine. I think as long as the screen and slider are good and the device is working 100% then I don't see why you shouldn't get at least £100 for it and maybe more. Have you looked on fleabay to see what others are going for?
It's still a capable device so still has value in my opinion. Just depends on how tatty or not it is as to whether you'll get a premium for it.
EUR100
A friend of mine would not bid further than EUR100 for one and after only a few auctions he got one.
My Wizard is worth a LOT!!
I've been with it for more than two years now (longest i have been with a phone) and it's still running WM6.1 without any hassle (who would have thought) and has also allowed me to write WST for it.
Man, even if i get a new PPC i don't think i'll ever let go of this baby.
just my 2 cents
cheers
It's hard letting go....
I have two Wizards, I bought one about two years ago because I was after a new Windows Mobile Phone that ran WM5.0 (I had a HP iPAQ 6300 previously that I couldn't upgrade). After I received it I immediately unlocked it and started to experiment with ROMs, so much so that I managed to get another one off fleabay quite cheap and used it as a 'test' Wizard so I didn't screw up the one I use for work - a 'guinea pig' to test my customised ROMs on before flashing them to my 'work' phone.
It has been excellent and I am sad to see it come to an end, however I think the Kaiser is an obvious evolution. For the last few months I have been constantly hacking OEM & SYS packages to try and make them fit in the Wizards ROM and with the latest Diamond 5.2.19588 port I simply couldn't get everything in there that I wanted.
Anyway the Kaiser has turned up, its been SIM & CID Unlocked, HardSPL'd and is running a customised WM6.1 ROM and I'm now back in business
I will be selling both my Wizards (probably on eBay as there isn't a for sale forum on here is there?) and I'll offer to install whatever ROM the buyer requests - as long as it's a Wizard ROM
Thanks for the help I have received & the effort from everyone involved in getting WM6 ROMs ported to the Wizard.
I'll be haunting the Kaiser forums from now on but will pop back if I can offer any help to anyone.
Cheers
Andy
