What is the BT stereo headset like? How is BT stereo quality like; I take it; it also has a Mic built in? How long do the batteries last?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Yes it is in chinese, however the new program you install will be in english, so for example, Pocket Informant, iLauncher, they will all be in english. So won't be a big problem for user who know every function of PDA by heart already
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Good news, you will get one as well since you order yours quite early. The quality is very good, these headset is for sell for £60 on HTC website. I won't open mine since i already have a BT Headset, but these gift one are black, and stand by time is 150 hours. and you can listen to music with it. and yes mic built in.

Long live the new King of PPC

Hail the new King X75!! :)

The I-mate Ultimate 7150 will be a pretty strong contender with superior O/S and higher TV out resolution, but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. Plus its screen is too small and CPU lacks the oommphh factor of its bigger brother found in the Ameo.

I for one can no longer consider any other device until I've had the Ameo. Once it gets WM6 with Video calling support, it will be the undisputed heavyweight of all PPC's.

Just my biased opinion though. :)

Having said that though....stick a high end Marvel 800Mhz CPU coupled with its Nvidia 5500 GPU and a 5 Megapixel camera and high res TV-Out with UMTS & HSDPA @ 7.1 Mbps in Japans Sharps new EM-One, and all my loyalty to the X75 will diminish in an instant! That device even has a high definition screen. :)

Check these out!!

For people who are waiting Advantage !! Read !!

Hi, i know i lot of you guys are waiting for Advantage to come out, i have a bad news, i just spoke to HTC engineer, they confirm they are delaying this item possible to end of April or beginning of May unless they can sort out their ROM problem magically. Basically, they have a big bug on their Rom which is to do with how they handle the Micro drive. The method they use makes the Micro Drive slow and unsafe and also Drain a lot of battery.

It's not a small issue so they need to re-write the Rom, they already ask for help from DOPOD, but i have been told even with the help they get, they still need to go through many testing before they can launch the device. So again, they have to delay the item until they can sort this out.

I also need to report this, DOPOD and Ameo don't have this problem, Ameo Rom was based on the DOPOD one, and DOPOD one is the correct and stable Rom, so these 2 machine are fine.

I will keep you guys updated if any good news ( or bad news) from HTC.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] P996:
I'm aware that you own a Dopod and therefore you seem to believe that the Dopod is "better" than the HTC X7500 but surprise, surprise...the Dopod ROM and hardware has been fully developped by HTC too, so there is no real difference comparing it to the Ameo or even the X7500. On the contrary, the X7500 will have a more stable ROM since it will have an advanced development number when it is introduced.

But of course you're free to believe what you want... ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] banyas:
order and shipping to israel

Hi

did someone get his dopod from you already???

can you ship to israel?

what is the final cost of the item?

thank you
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Hi there, i don't believe DOPOD is any different to HTC, I AM ONLY SAYING THEIR ROM IS BETTER. Just in case you don't know, Dopod is a sister company of HTC, HTC is in charge of the Hardware design and actual making of it, but the customized software part was done by individual provider, in this case, it's DOPOD. Did you realize HTC has never produce a ROM update ever for all their product out there? guess why? because they are not in charge of it, once they sell the machine, they are unlikely to change or do rom update. It's left for the provider to do, in this case will be DOPOD and T-mobile. They have their own engineer to work on issue and bugs, that explain why DOPOD & T-mobile first Rom is much stable at least now compare to HTC because they have more experience on making ROM. (I assume you know by now HTC is having problem with their ROM).

These 3 machine are exactly the same in turns of hardware, so no one is better than others, just the material is different, that depend on personal taste. Then it's the ROM, it's hard fact that at least now DOPOD & T-mobile one is more stable.

BTW, i have played with HTC Advantage for testing, and i can tell you the speed is noticeable different (at testing stage). Didn't realize the HDD is not correctly implemented at that time. Anyway, i am sure when it comes out, all issue will be solve, but eventually, HTC Advantage user will upgrade their ROM to either DOPOD one or T-mobile one, because HTC lacks of Update support.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] P996:
I give it up, honestly. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
some of the buyer will get their dopod u1000 this week. I can ship to israel no problem
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ahmadfarid:
To bad for EM-ONe still use the old PXA270 520mhz and surprisingly only 1.3 MP camera...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
There will never be a perfect machine, we always wanted more function or smaller size. So choose the best device which suites you (not necessary the most expensive one). In this case, i am very happy with my DOPOD U1000. It's exactly what i need.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] banyas:

what is the final cost to the item

Ameo don't have GPS

I have been told Ameo don't have GPS, can someone confirm this by testing it out? I am talking about UK version.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] faisal.husain:
Wu... Need some help, every time I put any UK sim in to the dopod, It pops up with network wizard to select Network provider etc (I think). any way if i push what i think is cancel, it disappears, i then get service, however if i try and make a call the telephone signal displays ! and i lose reception. can you help? By the way i try it with Vodaphone and T-mobile UK. Also do have an english skin for the Inteli dialer? or is there a way to copy one over so the buttons are in english? Thanks in advance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
right, i can not remember the setting, i think when it pops up, you should choose the second option from the menu

also, did you restore anything in any kind? like did you copy the old PIM file to your new device?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] faisal.husain:
yes i did, but it is originally from wm5. Trouble is i need my contacts, and all texts etc. I used SBP backup.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
that's exactlt what happen to mine, after you copy the PIM, the phone won't work, and the device become laggy, i think it's to due with different version of Windows Mobile. You can have all your contact and appointment back if you sync to your pc and sync back. But please don't use the PIM copy method, it doens't work anymore for new machine
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] faisal.husain:
Thanks M8, does anyone know of other software to port over PIM info that works on our devices? More interested getting my texts over cant afford to lose them. Also Wu, is there any third party software or other way of changing the phone buttons from chinese to english?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
no , i can't think of any third part, you might can change it through registry, but i don't know the key. Anyway, hehe, don't install too many software, English ROM is comming soon :)

Anyway, just to let anyone who is interesting buying the DOPOD U1000, the stock availability in Taiwan is still very good, so once you place your order, you will get it under a week.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] faisal.husain:

HTC Advantage coming!

Hi guys, just to let you know i have just spoke to HTC, they are releasing the Advantage in a month or two ( well, they can't give me anything better, like weeks or something). But as you might know already, a website is already offer pre-order of Advantage and it says it's available from 9th.

So i guess that answer our question, Advantage is coming soon.

Also want to share this with you guys, i have also spoke to the engineer, they confirm the Micro Drive issue is fix (using the DOPOD way). So this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ahmadfarid:
i just can`t wait for the english rom...somehow i have difficulties on playing this item with chinese language...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
don't forget every third part software you install will be in english, and keep this in mind, english ROM is comming really soon. Actually we could get it anytime now, just need someone who has a Ameo UK version to dump the ROM for us.

p.s. don't ask me how, i am not expert on this.

Maybe Athena is the King of PPC today. However, one basic feature for King of Mobility should be being able to do various things while on the move.

One issues for all PPC including Athena is how do they handle online financial transactions i.e. internet banking which requires java applets for signing in? Most of Internet Banking site use java applets for security log in.

Even Athena cannot open these java applets required to do internet banking.

Anybody knows how to enable a PPC for transactions using these type of java applets?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i haven't try Internet banking, but i have try login to Paypal, which is also financial transaction system as well. And it works! BTW, i use Opera, and also, there is a function in Opera, that will make the internet think you are using a PC, instead of PPC.

Just my curiosity if there is no english rom..how could there be english version ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
ok, let me say this clear, do not talk to DOPOD or T-mobile asking them whether you can flash english ROM or whether they will provide english update, they will say no!

The way it work is someone dump their english either here or post a link on the internet, then we can flash it. It has always been working like this, so i assume you guys know already

Spot on! Anyone knows any "add on" for WM5 to enable it to run java applets? Most internet sites send java applets. Not just internet banking. Website like www.pandora.com which is a cool personalized internet radio site also does not work in Athena (IE or Opera). I think the site also send java applets which is not working at Athena or WM5.

This java capabilities is so basic. Too bad SUN does not want to develop a version for Windows Mobile.
