Guys,
I need your expert advise on this. I'm a newbie for XDA products, all of 'em. Previously I used two gadgets, mobile phone & PDA. Seeing the new magician form factor really encourage me to buy one of this beside, I think this magician will help me in saving more pockets by combining those 2 gadgets. However, I don't want to take wrong action when buying this product. I need all guidance I can get on this.
Currently, in my country, its more easy to find O2 XDA II Mini. I guess T mobile, i-Mate, and Q-Tek will not be here for the time being, so please XDA Mini users, help me. Here are my questions:
1. What is the ideal ROM versions when I'm about to test the product, I mean all ROMS include the ROM Radio, Ext ROM, etc?
2. Beside package content, what else should I need to check from the product?
3. What kind of programs that suits best with XDA II mini? I'm not really into game. Music & movies are more preferable and also some Personal Management apps (this one is the most essential) - Currently I used Pocket Informant to manage my Tasks & Schedules.
4. I saw a topics mentioning about audio probs, Is it hardware or software issues? Do you think I should ask the seller to open some package and test each of them?....Forget it, they won't let me anyway :lol: !
What else guys? help me please? Oh and don't forget to reccomend best apps and its version that getting along very well with XDA mini OS
Thanks
PS: Pardon me if my english is very unstructured.
Anyone? Please help?
I guess no one want to help me anyway....
Oh well.... anyway thanks for reading this thread guys
If it is easier to get local support for one of the devices where you live - I would suggest you go for that one.

I don't understand question 1.
2. Check that it's working.
3. You can download lots of free programs.
If you don't want audio issues, buy the MDA Compact from T-Mobile Germany. It's unlocked unlike T-Mobile Netherlands.
Thanks Guys for replying
Now I know why no one replies, my english is really bad huh?
Question no. 1, I mean you guys know much about ROM version, I want to know the best version, does anyone can share their XDA mini ROM version?
Question No 2, :lol: I know I should check is it working or not, but I mean should I do specific checking apart than try the phone, check the ROM, check the sound, camera, what else. If that's all I need to do than that will be fine.
Question No. 3, I heard that windows 2003 SE don't have high compatibility with regular windows mobile 2003, Could someone shares their experience what will work on XDA and what not? Or is there some apps that I should avoid in installing to a PDA? I'm a newbie, if anything happened to my XDA, I'dont know what to do except send it to service centre
Question No.4, My country only have XDA Mini right now and it comes unlock ( most phones in Indonesia are unlocked) Is the audio issue only happened with MDA or almost all magician?
Thanks for those who want to reply. Also thanks for those who opened this thread, sorry if I'm bothering you guys, I'm just a newbie who seeks for enlightment from experts
Thanks

As far as I know, there's no sound problem with the MDA Compact.
Also, I think the best ROM is the T-Mobile ROM.
If anything goes wrong after installing a program, do a soft reset.
If it's still bad, uninstall the program and do a soft reset.
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any other great sites or forums that are Magician specific (or good PPC sites for that matter) that I can check out.
Thanks in advance.
Todd
There was the other Magician site, compactjam.co. But noone seems to have used it recently. This is the best there is. Of course there are lots of pocketpc sites.
Try www.buzzdev.net - it's run by one of the moderators of this site.
A handy site for programs is
http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCat...88E4E1312C6A7X4B12AB7B8&osId=737&N=4294966998
Just change the "sort by" to what you'r after. I use "price low to high" if I'm looking for free software :lol:

2 more forums....
http://www,imate-user.com
I'm a mod at this one, very handy for user-end problems rather than the real advanced stuff. That's what this site's for!
http://www.mtekk.com.au
Australian Pocket PC site. There's a dedicated Windows Smart phone section that has many Jam and Mini users there. Similar sort of content to the one mentioned above.
Between those 2 and this site, I know everything I could possibly need to know about my phone!
Thanks everyone for your replys, I will check them out.
Hi folks,
I've been looking all night for some info 'bout my Herald (Windows Mobile 5).
I've bought it second hand, but I see now I can't update it to Windows Mobile 6 from the HTC website (because it's from Vodafone).
I've read the wiki, but I didn't find anything about this. (maybe because I'm fairly new in this, but willing to learn ).
Edit: Maybe I can try this out:

hey all i know this is an x1 forum, i have an x1 and use this forum all the time, it's just that there isn't a forum for the phone my g/f has bought. so if you could point me in the right direction :s... basically the lg arena has a crap rom loaded onto it, with loads of t-mobile things, and some display restrictions. i know there is a service for SE phones called EMMA. I've tried using lg's software update tool, which says that there is an open rom available, but it checks my gf's imei and then automatically chooses the t-mobile rom. is there anyway i can get around this? or is there any chance i will be able to change the rom in the near future? sorry for posting on here, it's just i know that there are some really helpful people on this forum
regards,
Joel

Hi folks
I've trawled this site, and trawled the web, with no joy so far
I have 2x Hermes' - 1 with WM6.1, and 1 with WM6.5, both on Voda UK
I'm looking into subscribing to the Mobile TV package that Sky does, but firstly Vodas site is horrendous, and sends me around in circles, and secondly, they dont even list the Hermes ("Vodafone v1605") in the list of phones that apps are available for
SO..... Any one have the cab handy, so I can then simply subscribe, without fighting Voda over the phone (getting the "sorry, your device is not supported")?
Cheers in advance
BUMP! I cant believe nobody has it...!
