So i have a big question! what is the difference between the htc herald and the wing? is that i had seen in some roms one file for the p3450 and one 4 the wing what is the difference? And another question! What i should upgrade 4 the wing or the cingular 8525 what do you reccomend me? Does the wing feel chunky like the cingular 8525? What do you reccomend for me to buy? I now have a htc s710 but i dnt like it anymore! Thanks and please help me!
Wing and Herald are the same phone, the Wing is just T-mobile branded.
i don't think the Wing is clunky, but then again i didn't think the Treo 700/700w was either and almost everyone complains about those being bulky.
if the cingular phone you mentioned is the Tilt, then get that, because it has more memory and a faster processor. also the screen tilts, which i've found a few occasions where that would be nice.
actually, i've read that the Tilt's processor, while higher in frequency, doesn't vary much from the Wing performance-wise
It's the extra ram in the tilt/kaiser that makes the difference
oh and i should mention that the herald is quite slim for a ppc. It was one of HTC's first "fashion phones", an effort to expand beyond the uber-business clientele
The keyboard arrangements for wing and herald are slightly different. You can use the roms for either device pretty much interchangeably except at the end you need to apply the keyboard fix by Duprade.

hello, im researching to get a 8125 and ive come across two diffrent types of 8125s. i dont know the dif other than they have dif types of keyboards. i thought maybe it was the 8100 w/o camera, but then i saw both keyboards and both were discribed with cameras... so what is the dif? i would like to get the newest version. or is it just that maybe one is a tmobile style and the other is the cingular style? one keyboard has rounded keys, and the other has a keyboard that looks like the tytn. please help!
There are two different versions, the T-Mobile MDA and the Cingular 8125. The 8125 has the Hermes-style keyboard, and the MDA has the small round keys. Same crap, different package
I'm surprised more People don't ask that. it seems like a dumb question but it really isn't . it really makes no sense as to why there would be two of the same exact product that look very different.
preciate it... what about the i-jam version?
so is there any dif in performance or reliability or anything? other than the button layout... also, is the cingular version the same size as the 8525? cause i know thats one bulky mofo... thanks for the answer btw.
i know im asking alot, but its a bit of money. i didnt do much research before buying a bb 7290 and just went off of word of mouth and ive ended up with a phone i absolutely hate. i mean, in general im a happy person. i dont really hate something inanimate. but this phone pisses me off 10-30 times daily. i hate it! so thats why im trying to find out what i can bout the 8125 and make sure i get the best one for me. seems like a qual phone, just need to know which version i should get. i have a cingular chip, but if the cingular version is as big as the 8525 then ill get an unlocked tmobile or whatever... anyway, i appreciate the feedback.
You can see all the differences; looks, keyboard and all that. I've never had an 8125 and 8525 side by side but it looks like they're REALLY close as far as size. The MDA version is smaller (I held mine next to a 8525). Mine has been totally reliable and the reception is insane, I can talk in elevators and in some underground buildings.
the mda might be a little smaller, but it's only because of the rounded corners. Also i perfer the look of the 8125, it looks a little more clean compared to the mda. These phones won't disapoint shady, they are know to be the best on the market. I have the mda, and not only is it a really nice phone, it provides me with hours of entertainment with rom flashing and trying to find cool new programs. its just a nice experience
the differences are the keyboard layout and one edition does not have a camera.
versions are wiza 100, 110 and 200
go to start/settings/system/device information/identity to find out which yours is. most will be wiza 200
i never suggest to someone to buy/have it.
firstly i have/had a magician and i am/was good with it. then i decided to have a charmer because i have a magician and the charmer is successor of magician.
and charmer is nerve racking slow. i cannot believe my eyes .the successor charmer is slower than magician.
and now i own a htc hermes.
htc charmer was for me the wrong bad experience.
never buy it.
and what you say people
man, it's all about system aou are using.
if you use t-mobile bradned piece of ****, forget about speed. t-mobile will never produce fast roms. the main and only feature of their roms is that they are terribly filled with pink colour - nothing less, nothing more.
charmer could be fast also - if you talk about wm5, use "qtek stle debranded rom".
if you thing abut wm6 - try essentials 000.2 i'm making - fastest (working) rom seen on charmer...
HELLO!!! I'm about to buy a new PPC so I need an advice! Which one? Is the winner T-mobile MDA or T-mobile Wing? Some say Wing is too slow? Is that truth because they have almost the same hardware (OMAP850...)? Please HELP!!!
I had an MDA before and I prefer my Herald over it any day. The specifications might be the same but there are many small differences that make the Herald the favourable device.. If the Herald and Wing are the same then things such as the Wing being SDHC compatible, spring keyboard, stylus actually stays in the phone (one thing that pissed me off the most about the MDA, stylus got so loose after a while) are a few reasons why I prefer it. Thats just to name a few, also difference in size, Herald is much slimmer.
As for the speed, in my opinion modifying the page pool takes care of that.
Hope that helps in your decision.
I too had the MDA before the wing. I like the full length styls, spring keyboard, smaller size, and actual windows/ok keys/
get the wing, forget the mda, wing is better in every way, after you apply the 6mb pagepool patch and install battery status the wing will FLY !!!!! i love my wing... now if only they can fix the battery drain when radio off glitch...
Gotta agree with these guys. I went from an MDA, to a Pearl, to a Wing. And with the new RUU floating around for the wing, we're bound to see as much customization as we have with the wizard. I mean, take a look at viet's roms for example. And those are even without the ruu.
I went from an MDA to a Wing. It was an excellent upgrade. I love the MDA but the Wing is better in some aspects. Like Mi|enko said, customizations are bound to make an appearance. The wizard has more hacks and cracks than any other phone I've ever seen. The Wing will get it's time soon.
I just got my Wing from having a MDA. And I am very please with it. Even though the initial internal memory is lower, overall the pro's of the Wing win BIG TIME!!! Plus, native WM6.
I had the mda vario (wizard) and made some benchmark tests - and the XDA terra is even faster without overclocking than the mda.
AND it is much thinner - better for your pocket. and with the change of pagepool it is really a good device.
I love it.
Something else to consider
I got my wing in the U.S.
It has no IR!!!
And I am in serious need of hacks. T-Mobile has customized their version of WM6 so much that memory is at a real premium.
Except for WM6, I prefer my Wizard.
I like my Kaiser but its a brick as far as size/weight.
Can someone who has used both tell me how they compare as far as speed, functionality, etc.?
What's the consensus on whether the Nike is a good device.
So you think the Kaiser is a brick! You want to try the Universal, now thats a brick!!!!
I like my Niki. It's small so doesn't trash my trouser or shirt pockets and it's functional (although I do miss not having a keyboard). If you are looking for a compact device this is a good one to go for, having said that, I'd probably wait for the Diamond 2
I have had windows mobiles since they first came out, through the original SPV, XDA, Universal and Vario II and others.
I got my nike as an upgrade from my vario II and I would give my left nut to go back.
It's crap - avoid like the plague.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
I really do like my Uni but it is just too big to use as a phone. At present I carry use the Uni purely as an organiser. Can any one recommend a phone that has the following.
Keyboard
2.8" screen or larger.
Windows Mobile OS (but willing to consider others)
Smaller than Universal
The difficult bit is it must have IRDA. So this seems to rules out all the new phones. Any suggestions would be great.
HTC TyTn (Hermes)

If $ is not a problem: HTC Rhodium
There isn´t really a "Replacement", Universal is considered a piece of art on Mobile World
For having another reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443421&page=3
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
The HTC TyTn (Hermes) would be perfect but they are very difficult to find in the UK. So may need to buy one from the USA.
HTC Rhodium unfortunately has no IRDA.
Totally agree that the universal is one of the best devices ever made. It replaced my aging Psion 5MX which in its day was the best organiser with a fantastic keyboard. It seems strange that such well loved devices are not replaced with newer versions. It has taken 10 years for a serious replacement for the Psion to be made but it costs £500.
Search over ebay.co.uk, theres a lot SPV M3100 devices
I have had a look on pdadb.net and notice that there was a HTC released in the USA by Verizon called the XV6800. It seems to be the same as a Hermes but with built in GPS. Doeas anyone know if this was ever realesed in the UK.

Only the Hermes 100 (i-mate JASJAM, Orange SPV M3100, Cingular 8525). The display on the Hermes 200 (TyTN) is garbage - it's a transmissive display and it turns completely black in sunlight. Hermes 100 had a high quality transflective screen.
