This only say O2 Asia is not going to release a update. Maybe UK, GErmany or Netherlands will do it....

...doubt it. O2 will probably use PPC 2003 as part of the 'selling' packaged used to shift the newer XDA ][ :roll:

Yeh I did think that at first, but then I thought, why the heck would they be posting that on a non - asia related site?
As I believe myxda.com is UK based isn't it :?:
I still can't decide if its worth the risk of putting WM2003 on my XDA or not :?
I don't think they will put that effort in the 'old' XDA. As we all read allong these forums there are to many problems stabilizing 2003 for the XDA. Toooooo much of a hassle customerwise.
Although I am very satisfied with 4.00.10 Works like a charm for me. :lol:

Hi !
Has somebody made an Memory-Upgrade for the XDA ??
I've found this: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=XDA-032-128RAM
But I think for me it's to expencive to send the xda to america and return to germany.
May be did somebody knows how to update the xda to 64 or to 128 MB by self?
Thankx
Stevie
Try Expansys
I know that Expansys offer this as a service, but it is UK based. This is still the same PPCTechs upgrade, I assume they either have the knowledge and do it here or they ship it over and absorb the cost. Seeing as the turnaround is four days, I think the 'do it here' option is most likely.
Check out these urls...
for 64mb upgrade
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=XDA-032-064RAM
for 128 mb upgrade
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=XDA-032-128RAM
There is a link at the top of the pages to Expansys France, maybe this is closer to you?
Otherwise, you can pay me to courier it for you, I quite fancy a trip abroad.
rgds,
Alex.
First: Thanx 4 your offer to handle it in the UK!!!
Hi!
It's interessting, but too expencive.
My interrest is, how they do it and what kind of changes u must do with the xda? second the typ of memory u need and where to buy it.
The reason of self upgrading is second, that O2 germany says: there's no more garanty on your PDA, when somebody opened it... :evil:
by the way: on the france side they carry the xda's to the UK :shock:
Stevie
I'm just thinking I have seen some in depth pictures about the memory upgrade (they're probably on this site!! :lol: ) but it's going-home time now.
I'll have a surf tomorrow and see if I can find it. Pocket PC Passion springs to mind if you can't wait.
rgds,

Memory upgrade
I was able to upgrade an iPaq 3635 using the directions at http://www.kensteele.org/ipaq/memory-upgrade.html . I imagine the upgrade only requires the memory chips be swapped, similar to the iPaq upgrade, assuming you find pin compatible chips.
Good luck, and post results here. I'll be attempting it myself, but I want to wait till my 12 month warrantee expires.
There is a memory upgradeservice in the netherlands. A upgaid costs €99,= for a 64 MB upgraide.

Thanks 4 this links...
I've found a german side who's update the xda for 119 Euro and takes
the warranty up to 24 Month's!!!
I think I try this...

Actually, I had mine done by this firm, took only 3 working days sending/receiving. Works like a charm! Really recommended!
Anyone had any luck with Expansys?
I've placed an order twice now with expansys, but have still not received any info about my order. Does anyone know what is going on there?
wow you all do some really great work! I've been reading all the fixes for country ID etc.,... mucho respect to everyone for the research involved in getting the upgrades working.
I have an O2 XDA II uk. The SMS bug is really annoying me and since O2 haven't come out with a new rom yet, I'm tempted to try one of the others.
I guess there's tmobile 1.60? imate... and now a new qtek one as well?
What's the most recent/best rom to go for? Ideally I'd like to KEEP the gprs ALWAYS ON even when turned off/suspend... I believe the tmobile one changes this to disconnect *yuck*.
Any advice welcome.. ps. do we think we've learned enough so that I'll be able to apply an o2 official upgrade over the top of a qtek/tmobile etc? It looks like with the info on changing the ID of the files we have?
best upgrade for 02 xda
I also have an 02 xda II but it was purchased from Asia. Rom version 1.03.00 USA. I would also like to know what is the best upgrade. Thanks, A.
Hi everyone,
Here is the email I have received from the O2 Pacific Asia in relation to the WM2003SE upgrade for XDA II:
Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, O2 XDAII is using Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, & the latest rom version available for upgrade is 1.60.00WWE. Currently, there is still no news the next coming upgrade.
*Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC is the Only licensed copy which O2 XDAII will have, O2 will not support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition in XDAII.
The latest rom upgrade for O2 XDAII, you could login at www.myxda.com with your username & password & click on 'Get the latest software for your device.'
In any case where the XDAII was upgraded to other 'rom' versions. The warranty of the phone will be void.
All future release of new models of O2 phones' details will be made available for viewing on the main page of www.myxda.com , please kindly refer to it for future updates. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Willy Ho (Mr)

Even this would be what I excepted, I still feel a bit sad about what O2 decided to do. Hopefully they will change their mind later!
I think it's kinda template answer for anyone who asks for 2K3SE.
Let's wait and see i guess, Asia Pacific normally don't have more details then the one elsewhere.
I agree that this is just a "standard" answer from O2. However, it may be true as well. As I said, hopefully they will change their mind later. By the way, I spoke to imate customer service and they said that the WM2003 SE upgrade should be avaliable by the end of the year. Hopefully they will do it coz upgrading from XDA II to XDA IIi/s....to me it doesn't worth to do it.
Tekguru has alreday hinted strongly that WM2003SE will indeed be released for current owners. An updated ROM is also around the corner.

Hopefully T-Mobile will also have a WM6 upgrade for the Ameo at some point in the future.
Well... HTC is releasing WM6 for the Advantage, so I'm guessing it's comming...
Update WM6 for Ameo
T-Mobile Germany unofficially said that they were working on an WM6 version for the Ameo. So wait a bit and we will see.

Where was this from? Was this a conversation with customer services, or something a bit more substantial?
Cheers
Well this is the response I got from T-Mobile UK yesterday so im not holding my breath.
Hello,
Thank you for your email about windows mobile 6.
At present we have no plans to offer an upgrade to WM6 on any of our MDA phone. This is something we are looking onto however so this may change in the future.
I'm sorry I did not have better news for you on this occasion, if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us again.
Kind regards
RossT-Mobile
That is just about MDA devices, Ameo is new device
I'd be surprised if they did release an OS upgrade... T-Mobile don't tend to do something if there's nothing in it for them, like most big businesses....
The phone is designed for their point of view for the top exec for company phones, most companies of which wouldn't care what it's got on it as long as it does the job for their employee at the cheapest contract price.
:-(

I know it's not in the title, but I'm pretty sure T-Mobile classify the Ameo within the MDA range, their WM.PPC wing
WM6 update
It was a conversation with the competence center of multimedia and technology from T-Mobile in Germany, I think it was Berlin. They assured that development of the WM6 update of the Ameo was on schedule, it would take at least another 4 weeks until it was complete. It was said that only the MDA Compact III (Artimis) and Ameo (Athena) would get a WM6 update. As I said its nothing official. We also now the Dash got an update, perhaps more devices will get one.

X7501 has WM6?
http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_x7501.htm
Is the X7501 actually available? Would the ROM work on an X7500 or, more importantly an Ameo....
I am getting my Ameo soon and not looking forward to going back to WM5....

i don't think the x7501 ROM will work on X7500 or Ameo, x7501 don't have the video call function. If you want wm6 on your Athena, you can install DOPOD's ROM

the reason why your WM6 Universal don't have video call function is because the ROM is not official, the official ROM will have the video function. And yes DOPOD will have WM6 for DOPOD U1000, but is not out yet, it will be available next month but at this moment you can't flash it, you need a CID unlock tool first.

I was talking to the people that I buy my phones from, and he was told by his supplier that they were told by HTC that the X7500 would NOT be getting an upgrade to WM6! He was told that the X7501 would be on wm6, and the X7500 would only have WM5.
Thank god that we have XDA for the wm6 roms.........donate folks!!!
Later..........
