Can I used ROM's from this topic (Polaris upgrading) for flashing O2 XDA Orbit 2?
orbit 2 == polaris
but flashing other roms then official ones from the operator one gets the device
will void the warrenty

I live in Russian, buy Orbit in Germany. Warranty don't worried me.
difference
at first i thought there is SAR difference somewhere was said that Cruise has 0.8 and O2 has 1.7 but thats not correct.
i bought Cruise and on the box its said:
HEAD SAR 0.888
BODY SAR 1.81
difference: design and ROM, HW is the same

Since HTC manufactures the Tytn and it is a company based in Taiwan, would anybody know if it is available there?
How about the rest of Asia? any idea if it will be sold here? Thanks
You can buy it under the name "Dopod 838 Pro" from www.dopodasia.com, a HTC company
PS: I am always frustrated with the dutyfree prices in Asia, FYI and compare I paid 567 euros for mine, with 16% VAT and without contract (from www.gethandy.de ). Was recently at Taipei airport, forget about finding any Taiwanese electronic products there...
Thanks, for the information. Went to www.dopodasia.com/dopod and it is only available in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Unfortunately, no Philippines.
Would you know what ROM they use?

They use the dopod rom, it's available on the wiki:

Buy the Dopod CHT 9000 (From Taiwan or other import sources) and flash it to the English ROM. Mine is working perfectly so far.

Can you give me the website for the CHT 9000? Is it available in store in Taiwan? Thanks
Im sure you can find stores in Phil importing the TyTn. If not you can easily get a dopod asia from an online store from Singapore. Im in Hong Kong and i got mine that way.
For the record
CHT9000 is the Chunghwa Telecom branded version of the Dopod 838 Pro for Taiwan only.
Just browsing the net comparing the Trion and the Tytn (Dopod CHT 9000). Wow! There is a lot of difference in terms of design. The trion is much sleeker.

sir musta po?
it was actually the trion that lured me into the hermes craze but it's only been available in Germany and nowhere else apart from a few importers. i've got the m3100 instead.
in case you're not aware yet, there are 3 versions of the hermes, which all seem to be very identical apart from few visual differences and key layout
Hermes100 - SPV M3100, XDA Trion, Dopod 838pro, Imate Jasjam, Qtek9600
Hermes200 - HTC Tytn, Vodafone v1605, CHT 9000
Hermes300 - MDA Vario II
i'm not sure if its available in Phils yet (incl the grey markets) so best way to get one buy abroad. where are you based anyway? Canada?
i hope i got it right with the versions above, and hope this helps you.

http://www.ixbt.com/pda/qtek9600.shtml - the content is in Russian, but you can look at photos
Buying the i-mate version of the MTeoR would be attactive for me, as it includes Videotelephony contrary to the HTC version (though WLAN is not built-in, which is the main reason, why I did not exchange my Qtek 8300 against the follower model - the MTeor isn't that cheap and one could expect WLAN - and also a much better cam, not just 1.3mpx).
However how to REALLY cheaply get hands on the i-mate make - SP JAS or how they call it ?
I simply do not know.
Though boasting on their homepage that they are somewhat a leader in smartphones you can only find their address in Dubai and not even other distributing partners or retailers.
I wouldn't go to Dubai just to buy an i-mate...
I know that dealers on Tottenham Ct. Rd. also have i-mate devices on stock, but England isn't really a cheap place to buy.
So only possibility would be to import one either from outside Europe (disadvantage: high import tax into the EU, relatively long handling period, problems with RMP) or the UK (disadvantage: no low retail proce).
None of these options is a good choice for me.

of course, the Qtek9600
thanks for the heads-up
you probably want to buy it in Taiwan from Chunghwa telecom. Just go to a local Chunghwa Telecom Location and they will likely have it.
I actually have an xda mini s and thinking of upgrading to a trion. Since I couldn't find it in Asia, where I'm based, I sought out the best alternative.
Right now, seems like the Dopod 838Pro (same as the CHT 9000). But still prefer the sleeker design of the Trion.
Both phones have the same features and functions, right?
HTC is making all of them, so the only difference is the cases of the different brands the Hermes/Tytn is sold under. An exception is the Cingular 8525 in the US, where Cingular requested from HTC to omit the videocam. And the voice command button on the left side is replaced by a PTT button (for Push to talk, not standard on WM5).
Anyone have any ida if the O2 Xa Trion will ever be sld in Asia?
I just bought an T-Mobile MDA Pro (universal) in China. It says For Test only and Not for sale on the boot screen. True, I bought it for a cheaper price than usual. Is it safe? Secondly, I want to change to an English ROM. Maybe O2 or Jasjar, or whatever. Can I do that without getting the "cannot be run on this device problem?" Please help. Thank you very much.
buying a t-mobile unit in china

I have get an Orange SPV M5000,and changed to Jasjar by myself,No problem!
Sorry to read this post only after SOSOSOSO long...
anyway, I have just upgraded my ROM to the Helmi Rom, with Dopod Asia's Radio and Extended ROM. Still, I am now trying to revive the Chinese input. I tried Maction Chinese SIP but not as good as the originial one included when I bought th eunit.
BTW, I bought it in a mall across from the SHanghai Train Station (The main train interchange in Shanghai). I paid 4500 RMB for it that time. I don't think is a very safe idea to buy from the net in CHina.
你好！我也在北京买过这种手机。问题是手机是修改过的。Roms可以随便刷。我刷成English O2 and Taiwan Dopod 900 Version,It's ok!
And If you want use China Mobile Sim V2.0 Like M-Zone.You need Upgrage radio mode software to V1.13 or v1.14.10
!
the China Shenzhen edit radio is V 1.04
BUY OR NOT? I can save about 150$ but i see that ppl have many problems with it. so i don't know buy or not. I would like to see your opinion/
I'm using it, have no problem at all.
in someplace here i readed that it not fully unlocked or something and that i have much more problems that TYTN ... but still it's 150$ difference

I'm a junior, I do my best to answer urs question.
1) both X01HT and Tytn are using the same platform-Hermes. they pretty muc the same. Just X01HT is Japan version that out with their carrier "softbank", so it come with a Japaness rom. Tytn is europe version.
2) u can put tytn rom on x01ht, but need to be unlocked
3) cheaper when the time I bought it.
4) G900.. you won't get the support from XDA, you can see pretty much all the discussion are HTC platform pda. if you want better one you should just go for HTC Kaiser.
5) really don't, it depends on you carrier. check to see if they carrier similar product.http://pdadb.net

G'Day fellas,
I'm about to buy a Dopod D810 over ebay(never owned a PDA phone in my life, total noob). The unit that I'm about to purchase is locked to Vodafone.
First question, is the HTC p3600i much better/faster than the D810 in terms of performance and multitasking? I know they both use the same processors with different clocks and that the p3600i has double the ROM...any other differences?
Now, I know there is an unlocker for the D810 on here but just to confirm, it can be unlocked from the vodafone network, right?
Also, once I unlock it using pof's unlock tool, I heard I have to upgrade the radio ROM in order for the GPS to work? Any guide to how to upgrade the radio ROM?
I intend on upgrading the dopod to akeo's WM6.1 ROM....is this rom any good? Any precautions I should take?
I think that's it for now...
Cheers fellas,
NM
ps. Am I buying a good phone or should I fork out more money for the TyTn II?? I'm really fussy with lag and generally slow menus, I don't require that much multitasking...

Already did it.
Bought a Tilt 8925 for US$380 today, brand new.
Hi all,
According to what I have understood, P3300 hardware is almost the same,
the only difference between O2 XDA Orbit and T-Mobile MDA COMPACT III is that T-Mobile Version have the WI-Fi disabled.
Does this mean that if I buy a new O2 XDA ORBIT cover for a T-Mobile, this will fit it?
Did anyone experimented that before?
...
simple answer.. yes!
you may need 2 extra screws for it though..
i cant remember whether its the o2 or tmobile cover that has the extra 2 screws..
thank you!
I'll have a try with a new orbit case..
