Hey everyone, ashasaur here from over at the Wizard forums! I have finally got another WM device to play around with after months of having a broken Wizard, and I decided on a Herald! Specifically the T-Mobile Wing variant of it. So far I am impressed with it, nothin to complain about really. Let me know if you guys need anything!

Is this considered a HTC Wizard as well? Just wondering, purchased mine and waiting for it to get here. Id love to hack anything I can on this thing and make it fully to my likings. Does that mean whatever you guys talk about in HTC Wizard will work on my device?
Sorry, made a mistake... I was supposed to post this in the Wizard forum, can someone move it? Thanks!
Hi everyone!
Well after 4 years i have finally bought a new phone and im shockingly impressed by it. its a HTC P4000. First time ever owning anything like it.. my old phone could hardly handle txt messaging, and now i can actually ditch my planner!
Im still very new to windows mobile but i come from a linux background and use linux everyday. Im still getting over the initial "i cant believe i bought a windows device" but so far i havent found anything wrong.
I am wondering about the status of the linux kernel... I read somewhere (but now lost page) that it doesnt quite boot up yet for this device?
Anyways just wanted to introduce myself and let the word know ive finally caught up to times... for now lol

Hallo and welcome , although much of what's on this forum will apply to you, you have in fact got a Titan (P4000) not a TyTn (Hermes)

and it is not stolen came directly from att a month ago let me know
I'm thinking of selling mine. I'm on Tmobile and I miss my Sidekick... Message me
youve got a message!
come on all you people who have upgraded to the kaiser!
there are a lot on ebay, if you want in person that is a diff thing.
But even i found a lot of buyers in person
i would have jumped on the kaiser as well if tmobile had there 3g act together, but im going to be skiping it i guess, until 3g is set in stone and something like the kaiser comes out with vga, reason for vga is that its really great for browsering from what i saw qvga vs vga... it does likee pretty damn cool, i also want some more beef on the cpu and esp gpu, i feel that kaiser is just a little bit of a step up and not worth the upgrade, for that price tag, if doing a contract and getting a great deal then yes or if having a lot of money burning in your pocket that or if your job req the use of pocketPC/pda heavily then ya of course you want the latest and greatest
Also interested
Also interested , even more if it already has Elf's Crackberry. New employer insists on BES .

An easy capability to take the box vanilla would also be useful.
Best regards,
i also used craigslist.org great site for local buy/sell etc... you can also use some other forums... im not sure if were allowed to post other PPC/PDA forums here? but there is a big popular one as well that has a buy/sell forum... which i think is a must... because you get to know ppl here and would trust a times them more so then a random person on ebay or so.
How do all. just wondered if anyone would like to swop there universal for my Hermes? the hermes is in very good condition and is branded under the T-Mobile Vario II and is unlocked to any network. I really like this PPC but would just like a new toy really. The universal would have to be unlocked and in good condition. PM me if anyone is intrested and i will send you more info and pics etc.
i have ended up setting up a swop for my kaiser and 150 quid. am very happy
kaiser..
isnt the kaiser worth more than the uni?..
Are you in the US
The Kaiser is worth a lot more thats why hes also gave me 150 quid. i sent the phone today so i should be getting mine later in the week. i cant wait!
aah!, i mustve read it wrong lol.. wonderes when o2 will sell the xda star in uk.. =(.. they sell the kaiser tho..

That may change now that HTC has announced that they are planning to solve multimedia performance problems only in future devices and no fix is planned for the Kaiser...
I traded my TyTN II for an i-mate JASJAR, just a one-for-one swap with no cash in between. And I don't regret that for a second! I hated the TyTN II and was ready to use it as a skeet shooting target!
Then I traded the JASJAR for a JASJAM (Hermes) with a miminal amount of cash. This is something I am beginning to regret. Although the JASJAM is faster and has a slightly better camera, the lack of VGA display and bigger keyboard is starting to bug me!
so u basically swapped a kaiser for a hermes and a bit of cash, aint that like a big downgrade?...
No. What's the difference between the Hermes and the Kaiser? The Kaiser has a tilting keyboard and built-in GPS. What else do you get with the Kaiser? How about poor multimedia usability? Stuttering videos and touchscreen that needs a few extra taps to notice you. Not to mention the sluggish camera that's totally unusable indoors.
I just got the Universal today. i really do like it Ialso really did like the Kaiser mind. The only reason why i didnt use it as much was because it was locked to t-mobile and i now have a sim card for my mates work sim(free internet,free calls, free texts etc) Thats why i used the hermes and am really pleased i still got it. The hermes is by far the best pocket pc device out there. Its had more people cooking roms then the kaiser so we know how to play with it and get more out of it etc. its not bad sized(althought many people do take the mick out of me for having a brick as a phone. wait till they see the universal!) and also the hermes is just such a good alround brilliant phone. i am getting a artemis up and running soon mind so will have a good play with that and find out if i like WM devies without keyboards any good. will keep you posted!

What lower spec? If you take away the built-in GPS and the tilting keyboard, what else is still better on the Kaiser?
I have been trying to find a wing and just cant, i stumbled upon a v1605 hermes for 95$ and was curious if that would be a good price for this phone, its unlocked also. currently i have a htc excalibur, but my kid decided it needed a bath so tossed it in the toilet, ive actually got the phone working but it keeps having minor problems. using a cooked rom, know about customizing and all the various crap and wanting an upgrade and just curious if anyone could give me advice on the price and would love to hear if anyone is a past/current dash owner w/ a hermes also.
just unsure if i should bide my time and wait it out with a gimp excalibur until i can pickup a wing or if i should just grab a hermes.
dash i have overclocked and what not, i know the cpu is bigger on the hermes and it looks to have a lot more to play with overall.... but will i be getting my money worth at 95$?
the wing has a 220mhz prossessor, while the 8525 has 400mhz.
The HERMES FTW!!
My english teacher had a Wing, he asked me to do some moddification, if you know what i mean.. And i got to say, the keyboard is a little better, but the phone is really slow trust me. The Hermes is twise as fast. I have the hermes curently, its great, and for the price of 95$ you should get it. I got mine for 200$ and i think that THAt was a good deal. But yeah. Get the Hermes.
Not the leader of the pack anymore but still a solid little device. For the price, WHERE CAN I GET ONE TOO????
