Hi folks,
due to my athena (which I use for business purposes) beeing soooo big, I look forward to buy a new 8500 as a second device for weekends ...
At the moment, I found an I-mate Smartflip for 80 € and a Qtek 8500 for about 150 €, both at expansys.
Can anybody explain me the differences? As far as i found out, there's no german rom available for the smartflip, what i could ignore if it is possible to flash another (maybe orig. 8500 Rom from htc) on it.
Are there any other differences from smartflip to 8500 ?
Please help ....
Best regards and many thanks,
tsfnet
No other differences: only sw installed in the ROM (in I-Mate version for example the ClearVue suite is present) and logos change.
I have a SmartFlip ^^

PS: Do not mind your english, trying and doing deserves respect Nobody's born perfect and multilingual ... there are a lot of countries (e.g. france) where you better talk bad french than good english ...
the pdadb site says that i-mate has the irda port - is this true?
No. No recent HTC devices have IrDA. All Startrek models are identical except for the AT&T 3185, which has 128MB ROM instead of 64MB, and comes with the extended battery standard. You can flash any StarTrek model to have the software of any other (although putting AT&T roms on 64MB devices leaves you with little free space).
The other variant with 128Mb ROM is the Dopod S301. It was an update to the S300 which only had 64Mb. Flashing WM6 to it has given mine a new lease of life!

A lot of people on these forums have 64MB versions. Unless a ROM specifically says it DOESN'T work on 64MB versions, it probably installs just fine. The 64MB space difference isn't very much. You might find it is better to spend your money on the cheaper one, then use the money you saved to buy a 1 or 2GB MicroSD card, which will offer much more than 64MB of extra space.

prefer to sale unit only (32MB RAM model), if the price is right might consider adding :
- not original AC/DC
- 64MB SD sandisk card
- original box, manual, software - Outlook 2000 for PPC 2002
if so's interested pls write me with your best offer :wink:
regards, monika
ok, willing to buy..my price is $150 for everything the manuals,software, SD card..etc. + the Beer is on you this time
oooooooooooooops I missed that it has a broken screen. Thought that it is a fully functional unit. My offer is $100. Can you please explain if it is the LCD or the digitizer that is broken?
sorry for this.
well, currently I have USD 200 equivalent locally for the unit only but looking for a better offer ...
I presume anything less of that does not make me any good
regards,
monika
Hi monika , Sold the unit yet???
hello,
just sold one, but apparently have another one with broken screen so the offer is still on :wink:
are you interested with more reasonable price offering ?? (BTW I have an idea - elaborate on that more via private message shortly)

192 mb is not really useful as the memory card is not expensive now
and we can overclock it to 520 mhz easily...
i love my atom too...
I have made a pre-order of CHT version.
Well for other users
www.anythingonline.com.au have the Exec release date as 4th July and retailing for a price of $1130 with bonus bluetooth headset and IR keyboard.
I am using this model. It is really fast and great (compare to my old mini). I am waiting for the CHT rom, now it cannot show the Chinese. mad... :evil:
I was a O2 XDA Blue Angel User. Bought the original Atom right after it came out and it was CRAP! Slow, buggy and many unacceptable problems so I've sold it 3 days after.
After more than half a year I see the Atom Exec and decided to give it a try. Seems like that the developers have spent time on tweaking the OS and it is REALLY FAST now. The mp3 ringtone even lagged on the original item. This device is alot better.
The only problems I am facing is:
Shaking screen occasionally (not shaking physically but the LCD lines)
Some crashes
Some incompatibility with some softwares.
Other than that everything is fine!
:idea:
I'm currently the owner of the MDA Pro and my contract is due for renewal, and as it's that wonderful time of the year I shall be happily looking to upgrade to the Ameo if it's truly worth it.
1) the MDA Pro is slow, running the same software on it that I have on the Vario (1) the Vario seems to beat it performance wise - perhaps the VGA screen takes it's toll, but compared to the 240mhz the 520mhz of the Pro should beat it hands down - it doesn't! Is the Ameo a speedy device, does it have a beater processor (XScale or similar would be nice).
2) I'm not so bothered about size more the stability of the design, as I said above I've had three MDA Pro's and each one has broken in exactly the same place - the screen. The flimsy plastic backing of the screen doesn't take to impact all too well and I've had to have it replaced twice because the screen cracked. A bug bearance of the MDA Pro, yet the MDA II; III and the Vario have all been fine.
3) Memory - for some reason my Pro doesn't handle memory too well, programmes that I've closed reside in the memory and it's not long that I get the 'not enough memory' error.
4) Backwards compatibility - I was pee'd when I got my Pro and Strange Adventures in an Infinite Space didn't work, that and a few other programmes. I have some guitar software that refuses to run at all yet works perfectly on the Vario. Ideally I could replace the Vario and the Pro in one go.
If anyone can help me on these points that would be fantastic.
Cheers
3)
I moved form Exec (UNI) to Dopod. What i can say is that i`m very satisfied. Speed, more functionality and performance.
cheers

Hi,
I'm using O2 Atom Life. It has 64mb of RAM (I can't belief O2 is so short sighted by putting in only 64mb of RAM for such a great device).
Just wondering whether anyone would pay for a memory upgrade (say... to 128mb?) if O2 made it available...
Actually I would love to have more memory on the O2 ATOM. Plus if O2 can speed up this PDA, that would be just what I need!
just that you would know. o2 is doing a balancing act with regard to ram. more ram would mean shorter battery life. but I still go for more ram 96mb is sufficient.
It is not just a balancing act. I believe that they will find it hard for people to buy a newer model if they start giving out upgrades or selling high memory ppc's. This is especially true if people fail to feel or see that the newer model do not have that much of a difference in performance than what they currently have. As of now, not everyone will not feel the difference between a 128mb, 256 mb and a 512mb RAM except maybe for the battery life. So if people are given the option to choose between a 128mb, 256mb or 512 mb RAM, they will most likely choose the first one because of the price. Only serious users will most likely choose the bigger RAM capacity.
Lol, you got it right, yetdy. Btw, I do agree with tjlabais... 96mb should be sufficient but 64mb is way too low for such a powerful device. It's like driving a F1 car in the traffic jammed city road.
I agree with yetdy too. It is a bad design that there is only 64M ram in atom life, I think they are not short sighted, just for "atom life exec".
Do you mean, they are short sighted? Not being able to see what is going to happen clearly in the future?
I think o2 is money hungry and poor support
i mailed them many time but no answer, so i will prefer jiggs rom even if i have to buy it. o2 support is very poor, just to support atom life they are not giving wm6 upgrade. my next phone will not be o2

You can try emailing to [email protected], the CEO. Normally they tell you that they have already responded to your email, but it might be because of your email server reject them (especially hotmail). I've checked the JUNK folder but they are no where to be found.
What for? Are you representing O2 to ask this?

What do you mean by 'What for?'. I'm not representing O2. I'm representing the public trying to convince O2 that their support is suck and they should do something about it.
O2 just moved out of Asia. <_<

Ultimate is right. O2 asia is now being handled by another company. Just read it early this week. I forgot if it was from pocketpc thoughts or msmobile or something through RSS(egress 3.02).
Bad marketing strategy for O2 Asia. They thought selling good PPCs will gain them the support of people. They forgot about market preference in size and market support all because they wanted to increase their volume. They were able to sell well when they launched the small PPC line like mini, atom etc. However, people literally dropped them when they started releasing variants like atom-black, exec, pure and life. They should have been more creative like changing the name and casing for the variants and marketing them for a different market niche. Unfortunately, they never wanted to incur the expenses associated in the creation of the market niches for their PPCs.
I heard the last straw was O2 Flame which was one of the biggest flops of all time. Tsk.. tsk.. tsk... They should have followed what people have been posting on forums...
It's here. http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,62034059,00.htm
Anyway, Mark Billington is still the CEO of the new company. The new site is at http://www.mwg.com/
wwoow....i thinks its great if o2 hv to do that....
As described in the title,I plan to buy a new pda,how about HTC P3300,there are many ROMs for ARTEMIS in our XDA forum......anyway I want to hear about ARTEMIS phones from all experienced friends here
Many many thanks everyone here in XDA from JeffreyLI
I have a P800w aka Artemis aka P3300 but I still keep the Prophet and let my daughter played with it. So far I've got no problems with it and yet to flash a new rom in. (wish cloudyfa and vince has artemis..... needed them there.... ) Mine is pretty fast with 8mb pp; low space but with 4gb micro sd mem... okay. GPS is fast with my mapking and google. OOps ... I sound like a salesman here.
OKA,Artemis seems not bad.
