hi all,
simple questions i know but i just wanted to make sure of a few things before i go ahead and purchase this!
is the SPV M500 basically the same as the imate jam and Qtek s100 etc??? because i hate all the orange branding crap they put on their phones so will be lookin to put the qtek or imate rom onto the phone asap! will this be possible? i also need to unlock it so i can use a dual sim adapter and use both my o2 and orange sims in it - will the unlock solution for the rest of the magician devices work for the spv m500? has anyone tried?
secondly have people used Tom Tom 5 with this phone? can you report if the devices worked well together and give a stable solution?
thanks and SORRY for the stupid questions!
Tom
svp 500 vs qtec s100
the svp 500 is similar to the qtec s100, but not the s100. The svp 500 is also known as the Qtec S110.
I might be talking under correction here, but I understand the S110 has a new ROM which is not the same as the latest S100.
I don't think there is much difference the 2 phones, other than that your memory is 128 instead of the 64 for std qtec s100s. The outside of the svp has also changed slightly, so has the colour.

This is not true! the Orange M500 is exactly the same as the MDA Compact, Qtek S100, VPA etc. The only thing that is different is the looks. The M500 is somthing less round and is in darkish gray. The Qtek S110 is a Qtek S100 with 128Mb Ram Thats it!
thanks for that rvbcrs,
I did mention the differences which were the same as yours.
For instance, you can not buy the mda compact / vpa compact / ijam or any of the other's stylusses, since they've changed the s110's stylus and it will not fit. I've also been told the the Rom is versioned otherwise, which may be so / not.
It is really the same thing, but what i tried to say is that it is definately improved (only a bit) and like the rom hacks might be different.. those type of things.. but hey, if you've got the same phone you probably know better.
thanks again for your input on this
The vpa compact/orange spv have much better sound quality than jam/mda etc!Also they are only 64mb just different housing!
The vpa compact/orange spv have much better sound quality than jam/mda etc!Also they are only 64mb just different housing!you'll be able to get rid of most of the orange "crap" once you get it.Just go to add/remover programs and remover the orange software that gets rid of the visible things + interface etc
thanks very much for the replies guys!
in general does anyone have any experience of Tom Tom navigator 5 and any of the magician devices? do they work well together? i have heard that tom tom 5 drains the full processor power for the entire time it is running which has led to critical overheating of some devices and the phone functions and for that matter any other functions cant run at the same time due to the work that tom tom 5 puts on the processor!!! is this true?!
thanks,
Tom
i'm running tt5 on my vpa.it works fine.lt does use a great deal of the cpu but you can't use other programs when the navigator is on anyway!no overheatirg problems.tt5 works better than tt3 for me when all patches are applied as l struggled to answer calls on tt3 as it ran so slow but tt5 is better!pm me for more
Apart from colours and keyboar shade, what r the key differences between the Imate and Qtek ?
Looking to possibly get one from www.expansys.com but curious which (Imate or Qtek) supplier to opt for?
Who provides best update and service/support?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I really want to know the differences between this devices and why Imate is more expensive than Qtek?
I have Qtek 2020i and Windows Mobile 2003 second edition. I will upgrade to Windows Mobile 2005 or WM 2006. It is possible... ?
there is no wm5 for that device
it is abit impossible as Himalaya and apline hardware are different. I used to owe this device and hope there is a WM5 or WM6. Advise is to change to a new device or trade in, top up.
Hi, first post, lamers question My i-mate jama 101 as the same "core" of Magician or not?
I want to upgrade the OS of the phone to Linux...is possible?
Thanks

welcome to the forums...
i don't think it's possible to run linux on the phone... but if you have an I-mate JAM / XDA II Mini / MDA Compact / Qtek S100, etc, it's all the same phone; the HTC Magician, just branded differently...
Ok, thank for yor reply!
I think the powerful of many pda phone (not too cheap like my!) is very interesting and more customizable and friendly on a shell like Unix, Linux...
Command line is powerful, now I continue my search...
