Im looking at getting a cradle for my XDA2 so that i can view it in the car. i would prefer one that i could attach an optional charge cable too but dont want to have it trailing around my car permanently. i was wondering what all you enlightened peeps would recommend for use. are there any to avoid?
Cheers
I have just got this week a perfect mount for the XDA II, but it is a mount only - you need to sort out your own cables..
It's a slightly modified magnetic mount: It has a goosneck , a sucker at one end and a magnet with soft bed a the other. You attach the sucker to your windscreen.
The idea is you attach a steel pad to the back of your unit, and then it will stick to the magnetic soft bed; but I didn't do this... I got a 50mm sqaure piece of thin magetic metal (0.5 mm). this fits snugly on the inside of the unit between the back case and the battery! It still sticks to the magnetic bed, but my unit looks the same as it always did! Looks really tidy in the car (no chunky levers and arms) My XDA- looks the same, it holds it very well. and it only cost me £15
The magnet nor the metal plate have any noticable effect on the XDA.
I bought the magnetic mount from eBay
the metal came from a friend, but there various sources...
I use a Brodit carholder for my XDA 2 (Qtek 2020). It works great!!!
http://www.brodit.com/
http://w3.easytrade.net/brodit_shop/product.dip?item=1216061&fid=1216452
They also have ProClip which is designed for each car model, where you mount the carholder.
I use a Carcomm XDAII holder, it also has RS232 Serial & PS/2 ports on the cradle, great for a GPS mouse, www.carcomm.nl .

I think the perfect for XDA is this
there are millons of good car mount solutions for PDAs, but for XDA in perticualr, i think this is the best, becuase it gives your the maximum view on xda's LCD, especailly when you use your XDA as in Car GPS navigator.
it's on SALE here at Ebay together with GPS Kit for all you need for a trable free in-Car Navigation system.

If you use the forum search feature with "car kits" you will find other options including photos of the unit I have as well as others.
I'd love to buy the Carcomm unit, but who sells it? Their site doesn't let you buy. Any ideas on a vendor in the US, or one that will ship here?
Also, does that unit have a speaker, or just power and GPS? What's the GPS interface (PS/2, DB9, etc)?
TotalPDA www.totalpda.co.uk sell them here in the UK, see here, and they do offer an international order facility. The unit doesn't have a built-in speaker but the interfaces are:
12vpower
1 x RS232 DB9
1 x PS/2
They also sell PS/2 adapter leads for the most popular GPS Mice such as Leadtek, Holux etc. I have a review of the iPAQ version on-line here. They're very high quality cradles, coupled with a Safety Clip you can mount the cradle in-car without needing to drill any holes.
I'm also a big fan of Brodit Cradles, they have an XDAII model and have ProClip mount solutions for most vehicles, the US Website is www.proclipusa.com and the EU one is www.brodit.com .
Very helpful, thanks! The Carcomm looks great, just wish it had audio. It's down to that or the "official" car kit, but... Anyone know if the i-mate Car Kit has provision for GPS? I called Expansys, and they said they *think* it does not, but weren't sure. Also, any provision for radio mute on any of these?
Also, are all the PS/2 style GPS connectors the same? I have a Deluo unit, which doesn't seem to be listed on any of the compatibility lists.
I can't answer the question re I-Mate Car-kits GPS connector but I believe they do offer a radio mute. However the audio output only works for the Phone Side so GPS Nav Instructions and other PDA audio is not sent through the audio output
AFAIK, PS/2 is a standard but you'd ned to confirm the Deluo's suitability with Carcomm.
bij brodit zijn er verschillende mogelijkheden
Belgen kunnen hiervoor altijd terecht op xanthes.com
The Brodit site doesn't seem to contain any info re prices, that I can see...
I want one for my Mini Cooper, and I presume that if you select the model number for the mini mount and then the xda2 cradle, you're away.
Does anyone have any price info?
Cheers
Anthony
I should charge Brodit commission , in the UK the appointed reseller is Handnav www.handnav.co.uk, theor website has pricing for the different types.
Thank you.
Very informative peeps. just need to make the decision on which one to get now .
My kingdom for a proper cradle...
I want GPS input, a speaker/mic, and drop-in simplicity. Too much to ask for, apparently. I can either wait for one of the upcoming models, or buy one now which is missing one of those features.
The best carkit for the QT2020 or MDAII is now being sold at Yeti; Site is in Dutch, but with pics.
Url:
http://www.yeti.nl/nieuws_040622_01carkit2020.htm
ALthough it is in The Netherlands it's worth a try to contact them if they ship to the UK.
€185 ex VAT.
Some features:
A total solution for the QTek 2020;
handsfree
Plays navigation intructions
Plays from the Windows Media Player
stereo line out
mute-signal for radio/cd-player
12 volts switches off after 1 hour; handy for GPS
one click to attach and de-attach
GPS connector
External antenna connector
Comes with a high quality speaker and mic
audio connector; plays telephonecalls, instructions and MP3 over your carspeakers (if radio has an audio in)
Sounds like exactly what I want! Now, does it really exist, and how the hell do you buy it? I didn't see a purchase button.
Look for the sentence: Klik hier om de carkit te bestellen. Just above the picture.
Translated: press here to order the carkit. And click on the word: "hier" in the sentence.
Hmm, it's a "contact" link, not actually a purchase button. Bet this thing doesn't actually exist... But I'm giving it a try, hopefully someone there speaks English.

Not that I don't trust you matey, but has anyone else got something similar and does it work well? Seems a bit cheap considering.
Also, would such a setup constitute a cradle and therefore deemed safe and legal under UK law. I heard somewhere that if the phone is not in what is designated a cradle then it's not classed as a hands free unit??
Thoughts? Ideas?

I've seen a number of threads that seem to deal with the subject of "headphones" and "headsets" and finding an all-in-one solution, but I couldn't seem to find one where the solution allowed a user to use any 3rd party stereo headphones and answer the phone without switching to a mic enabled headset (like using this adapter with two sets plugged in, one headset and one stereo headphone: http://www.expansys-usa.com/zoompic.asp?type=item&code=104840

Or does anyone know of a stereo headset that is of decent quality for listening to hi-fidelity music (I don't own a pair of the default but I can only presume the quality is adequate but not great, and the buds don't look that comfortable for long term music listening):
http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=108738
the best option is to take the standard xdaII headset and about 4cm after the mic/control bit between it and the headphones , cut and fit a a normal headphone socket, this allows you to use any headphones and still have full headset functions ,
thanks
ian
Well that's definitely an option... (sure wouldn't want to do that to an expense pair of headphones, but it is an option).
It's hard to believe that in this age of convergence there isn't a decent headset that's designed for audio playback too.
Thanks for the idea, indeed I think I saw a number of "slice and splice" comments in some of the other threads, I just wouldn't want to find myself ruining a good pair of headphones trying to expose the thin wires and join them back up. I guess I'll need to stop thinking of it as an MP3 player and wait until I get the Archos AV420! ;-)
You're quite right with regard to the headphones not being very comfortable and I too was searching for a solution to this very problem until I turned the problem on it's head and came up with another solution...
I popped into my local Maplin's shop and bought a pair of foam earphone pads, put them over the supplied earphones and they are infinitely more comfortable and also stay in place. The audio reproduction on them is actually quite good.
Give that a try.
I decided to replace the ear phones and connect my Sonys to the stock switch/mic dongle.
Having removed the old ones successfuly and cut up my fantastic Sony ear buds I can't get it to solder as the wires are varnished. I have tried all sorts of ways to remove the varnish without success - including nail varnish remover.
Any ideas anyone?
Fire!!!
I was able to remove the varnish by briefly putting a flame to it. Then gently scraping the filamints with my finger nails.
Good luck.
Josh
Thanks, I tried that with limited success.
I'll give it another go.
hmm, maybe I've been overlooking an obvious solution (or am I missing something?), but wouldn't a headphone/mic combo like this: http://www.cooltechzone.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=574&Itemid=0
..in conjunction with the adapter I listed earlier ( http://www.expansys-usa.com/zoompic.asp?type=item&code=104840),
..do what I'm looking for? It sure seems like it is the answer, and I now realize there are a LOT of these headphone/mic combos out there at all different price levels! I'm going to order the adapter and maybe one of the Altec Lansing sets, I'll let you all know how it goes.
hi all, I use these
Bluetooth headset their true stereo and can play many types of music formats + voice commands for dialling + i can stream music to them + use them to chat while using Microsoft portrait, But they are not cheap, i first bought them to use with my spv c200 did a good job on them having same good luck on my M1000. here,s a link to the site where i got them
http://www.sonorix.com/~tven/eng/product/product_bap.php
Do these work with xda 2 for mp3 and voice dialling?
yes they do m8 i use them myself, on my M1000 ( which is the same as the xda2) mp3 sound brill on them I have a Bang&Olufsen 5.1 surround system ( which cost me £2.799 ) in my home here, and these headset come very close to completing with them. these headset are the creame da la creame of all headsets. Highly recomended worth every penny i paid for them which was about $263.00 dollors + import taxes which was £57 bucks
Here's a thread that has some additional info and reviews regarding adapters and the like, perhaps this info could be placed elsewhere in the forum, but this seemed relevant to this thread:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5690
I notice a lot of you seem to have GPS up and running on jasjar.
I had tottom running on my xda2 with backpack and CF GPS receiver, but as I could not use the CF GPS with JJ, I sold it with my xda along with my car cradle which was a window mount and I am hoping to find/install something a little sturdier (worried about the weight).
So please give me some ideas on a GPS receiver working with JJ and any thoughts on car cradles.
Cheers, Numb
Your best bet would be to purchase a Bluetooth GPS receiver. There are plenty of them going around but the best one imo is the HOLUX GPSlim-236. It is based on the SIRFstar III chip which means it picks up more satellites and has a better connectivity. There are other SIRFstar III compliant BT GPS like Globalsat and the likes but the GPSlim-236 is the smallest and the lightest.
Regarding cradles for the JJ, there are many options again, but since it is rather "weighty", i suggest you buy a cradle that can be stuck or screwed onto your dashboard. I have seen the Dicota cradle which has this option and is pretty cheap too, about 15 quid if i am not mistaken.
Have fun searching!

Actually, there are probably less than one might think. The HTC Universal has it's USB/Power connector on it's SIDE, which is where the left "arm" of most cradles grip onto it. This means you're going to have issues powering the device from the car cigarette ligher socket. I'm looking for a cradle at the moment with "arms" that are quite high up...
Oh right! I completely forgot about that. My bad! I guess we will just haveta wait and see. Maybe you can email Arkon or Dicota and see if they can come up with something.

I emailed Brodit (www.brodit.com) a few days ago and got a reply saying the will have powered mounts available at the end of the month
TT BT GPS works fine
You can use it with Arkon support, I did, you just have to put the power cord side up.

But if you rotated the JJ 90degrees so the usb connector is at the bottom that orientation would be nice to drop/slot into a dash mounted, basestation, that above the steeringwheel would be below my windscreen and be quite tasty for TT5, only issue then would be landscape map, which imo is slightly less revealing for the road ahead.
It could simply be velcro attached onto the dash reducing mounting issues, and you can easily make it cableless by making a hole in the dash underneath for the cable to pass through before arriving at the ciggly socket.
The destinator 3 with Globalsat BT 338 bluetooth gps receiver works well with the jasjar.....as for the cradle i bought mine from ebay and modified the two arms that olds the jasjar in place so it sits in place safely without falling off just incase i hit a big bump on the road and suddenly jumps out....i'll post a pic soon...its also a suction type holder and does not vibrate like the other pda holders.....it works well on portrait and also when the pda is on the landscape mode as the holder is adjustable.....as for the usb port, this is exactly placed under the arms of the holder so its not obstructing at all...
ok here are the pics for my jasjar cradle....

I too have a Holux Slim 236 and it is very good. I would definitely recommend it.
I have not yet bought a car mount cradle for my JasJar. Until now I've been using a powered mount with built in amplified speaker for my BlueAngel from Silver Shield. I am that they will produce a similar one for the JasJar.
I think it would be brilliant if they came up with a cradle that can hold the JasJar with the flip open so you can actually use the keyboard on it with TomTom if you want to.
Hi irv777
Could you specify what is the make of the holder you used and maybe also where on ebay you bought it ??
Cheers
i had to modify part of the arms to hold the jasjar in place as per shown in the above pics..... but u can get them on ebay or on the website www.online-electronics.com.au also try looking at this other holder i came accross as it might be a little bit better..... http://www.thepocketsolution.com/Me...egory_Code=jasjar_accessories&Product_Count=7
The holder from pocketpcsolutions.com looks like side arms will cover usb socket & therefor you wont be able to charge it.
Regards
Colin Bate
I use an Arkon powered mount, its really good because it uses stanadard USB ports to power everything, so all you need is the standard USB cable, it also has an additional output for charging almost any BT GPS adaptor.
PS it also has a built in amp and speaker
and it fits perfectly
http://www.arkon.com/imgs_site/thumb_cm720.jpg
ice_coffee,
Are you using HTC Universal with that Arcon holder? Because if I ook at the pic it looks like the side grips will cover the USB port since it is on the side of the HTC Universal
irv777,
Thanx for the links looks good, I think it is going to be one of those two.
Although on the site of Arkon http://www.arkon.com/
Look at the Car holder for PSP it is horisontal and looks pretty steady, Question is if the Universal will fit in it ?
Yes I have a universal, these pics I have uploaded should answer all your questions, I originally bought mine for my HP2110 but it fits perfectly. However if you do get one you will have to get your own standard USB sync and charge cable or wait for arcon to officially release it.
PS I forgot to mention I have a window sucker but its fine (ie it does not fall off ~ especially if the sucker is a bit wet)
Thanx mate...
I have just realised that I can also use the Landskape Left Hnaded and then all is good with my existing holder.
You just saved me aroung 25-30 Euros
Cheers
OK had the Universal for a year now....
Only just started using true VGA so really didn't get much advantage from that VGA screen.
Love the fact that the Universal protects the screen but still like the idea of a smaller device with keyboard and lovely scroll wheel (slurp).
So has anyone gone from a Universal to a Vario II????
Is it an upgrade/better/what's your feeling on the change?
Mmmmm shiny new toy's
I'm toying with the same idea. The only advantage I can see is HSDPA.
I can't help, but some of our users over at www.4winmobile.com have owned both. you might get an answer from there?
Yeah...I sold an exec to buy an hermes! I'm very very happy! However, It has some problems...wich? voicemail notification, screen alignment, keyboard, a2dp and notification. Somebody has camera problems too...so I can say that this unit is a great unit but it still has some bugs.
Re: Upgrade from Universal to Vario II???? I did..and happy!

I've had the Universal, Wizard & Prophet. It's down to personal preferance, but I for one prefer this device over the others. If size wasn't an issue I'd say stick with the Universal for that raw 520Mhz CPU and VGA screen and very user friendly keyboard. But as size is an issue, the Hermes does have a couple of added benefits i.e. superb 2MP Camera and Camcorder and pretty good one-handed device which with its many buttons and AE button (3rd party appl) is extremely customisable. Additionally, for a QVGA screen, the display is pretty damn good, but not comparable to a VGA screen.
Finally, you won't be getting much bang for your buck in switching, it's just down to preferance. Good luck.
I have gone from O2 Exec (Universal) to HTC TyTN (Hermes / Vario II).
The Universal has the faster CPU as mentioned elsewhere but the internal memory of the TyTN is faster. I did some rough tests which I have posted below for info.

Over all the TyTN looks faster but its worth noting it has an easier job to do graphics-wise with a 320x240 screen instead of the Universal's 640x480 to render all the time.
That said - none of this is as important as which device best suits you. I love my TyTN for it's (much) smaller size, 802.11g wi-fi and fast browsing. Your needs / preferences are bound to be different.
Codeus
@supermoocow
I have both and I would recommend the TyTN because of its portability. The keyboard and screen of the TyTN obviosuly are not as good as the Universal but the TyTN is faster in everyday usage and there is no delay when there is an incoming call and the device aletering you. Also I am sure the TyTN has a lot more free RAM for user apps (will need to check when I'm home tonight); the TyTN has at least 32mb free.
Yes - I've got both, and find the Hermes is far better as a 'phone' - not only is it smaller and more portable, but little things like successfully answering or placing a call just work, which is nice.
It's not just HSDPA; I find the radio is much more stable; I used to be frustrated by the Universal not having signal in many areas, whilst now I rarely lose UMTS connection, nevermind having no connection at all.
There are compromises, but ultimately it feels like a true upgrade to me. Maybe with future ROM's, the Universal will achieve parity on some areas, but it will never feel comfortable in my jeans pocket...
Hi guys,
yep got a vario II just over a month ago
Yep its one sweet device. Had to change first one due to screen alignment however second one seems fine (although seems slower at picking up 3G areas than 1st one for some reason...).
Vario
Nice comfortable size to take to work/client sites etc.
Actually works as a phone (i.e. picks up calls before they hangup...etc...)
3.5g is cool
tmobile web n walk is sooo much sweeter than o2 data plans
Universal
wifi seems better....I know is only b but gets signals better & doesn't drop so much
keyboard a lot better
VGA screen
So I use vario II day to day and still use the universal in the house for internet browsing (yep have a tablet pc but its just so cool using the universal ).
I bought the Vario II on T-mobile contract mainly to get the web'n walk feature and my contract with O2 was running out. I didn't see myself as being able to fully give up the VGA screen (indispensable for Tom Tom) as well as the speed of the Exec (only on paper, never found it stunningly fast)but was thinking maybe I can use the Vario II every now and then. Well as it turned out, my Exec's now sitting around gathering dust with the Vario being with me everywhere.
Apart from the size factor which turned out to be a massive factor, one major point that the VarioII has which Exec doesn't is full compatibility with the 3G networks in Japan; apparently with the Exec, it only supports one particular 3G frequency or something but Japan's Docomo uses another band which the Exec doesn't support. Given teh Vario's operation in Japan, it makes it (personally) the clear winner; anyone want to buy an Exec?
Hermes is very nice.
Fast, good form factor, usable keyboard.
On Orange UK, the button layout is perverse, bags of free space on the front, but they squeeze the buttons into 0.8cmx1.5cm of almost unsuable space. I don't use any of the front buttons now - product testing must have been done by Kylie Minogue or someone similarly digitally challenged.
However, it's very nice, slightly chunky but worth it.
Use VJLumos and get a very bright screen as well.
I don't use 3G, but would certainly have bought it if I had access to web n walk - it's getting to the point where there's no point having these phones without an unlimited data contract.
Design is generally ok, although Vario II does come in menstrual colours.
Audio+mini usb is bad and unjustified.
I sorely miss VGA, and can't understand why they don't accelerate introduction of VGA screens across the line.
But generally, fast, good form, loud, bad buttons (on Orange 3100), does the job, best thing available right now from HTC that isn't Artemis or Trinity.
V
Its been a month using Vario II and I am completely satisified...had some emotional attachments with Jasjar but..then I had to go away with it..
bought Vario II from Uni...got SA after a week but wesbar trick fixed it..
The best cosmetic of all the hermes...Everythimng nows is prefect !!
Ordered my X1i from Clove UK last Fri. Good and fast service.
So far, I am impressed. Speedwise, it could be one of my fastest PDA phone (slower than x51v of course, and on par w/ Asus P525). Despite some thread complaint USB charging is not working, my Thinkpad T60 can charge w/o problem (w/ +200mA rate reported by battery status).
The good:
1. Very good screen resolution w/ such an small size (I am surprise it's even smaller than my ATT Tilt)
2. Overall speed is good
3. Good A2DP sound
The Bad:
1. Reset button is covered by the battery cover...
2. The battery cover is quite easy to fall off
3. A2DP drops after phone call (like any HTC phone I got)
4. Doesn't comes w/ any voicecommand program. Need to patch the dll w/ HD one in order for Cyberon VC to work
5. The plastic part of the case is flimsy, mine crack too in 3 months and have to ship to SE to fix it.
Working Software Compatibility:
1. IGuidance 2009. - Work w/ VGA version w/ acceptable minor glitch.
2. TomTom7 (7.450 (9028) w/ 725.1905 USA and Canada) runs perfectly
3. Igo8 works (and never be so smooth before)
4. Garmin mobile xt (and never be so smooth before as well)
5. TCPMP recompiled version somewhere in XDA
6. Core player 1.24 (1.25 or above has issue like another other Qualcomm WVGA device)
7. PhoneAlarm
8. Softmaker office suite
9. Isilo
10. Spb backup
11. Resco photo viewer
12. CE Star R3c w/ handwritting input method
13. SPB Wallet
14. Memmaid (empty space outside the VGA area, not a big deal)
15. Magicall
16. Resco explorer
17. AE Button Plus
18. Skype
19. World Card Mobile (minor display glitch)
20. Resco Audio recorder
.... (more to come)
Non-working:
1.
Headset & A2DP (AVRC):
Both Sony HBH DS-205 & JVC BT-1 (Car unit) - A2DP got dropped after phone call. Seen on my AT&T Tilt as well, but not on Asus P525 and Eten M600. Probably something have to do w/ HTC's bluetooth.
3G w/ AT&T:
San Jose: 760k - 1.5mb on various test w/ DSLreport 1M file.

Battery cover.
Can´t confirm, the cover on my black X1 ist even hard to take off.
Overall build quality top notch (at least till now)
Can somebody please confirm if PhoneAlarm works on the X1
Rather worried about the battery cover looseness. Would like to hear more on this if it is a problem with one device or a general problem
Thanks

Hi Mimi, I got it from UK clove for ~$750 (include shipped no tax). Depends on where you live, you can get it from UK or Hong Kong. (opps U got the same last name as mine)
Srmz,
Phonealarm does work so far (BT/wifi switch, screen rotate etc)
The cover is not that bad. But compare to other phones I had, x1 is quite easy to comes off
It was my understanding the X1i did not handle US 3G bands. Is this not true?

For the US the X1i only handles 1900 MHz UMTS. Some US networks provide this in some areas.

there is a review on youtube showing that the x1i can connect to ATT 3G network automatically
I am in San Bernardino Area and Los Angeles area and I still got 3G (1900mzh) too. So far, only in some Milpitas area (but so do my ATT Tilt) got Edge.
