T-Mobile sells it as MDA-Pro
Er... yes. Since the MDA Pro has been sold for many weeks now - and that the MDA IV name was dropped months ago - how could you possibly think this is news worth telling? :roll:
I think he was refering to the forum subtitle: "the Universal will be sold as the qtek 4040, xda-IV, SPV M5000, mda-IV, imate 2005, and others."
The only one that is correct is the SPV M5000
exactly, I was referring the subtitle of this forum. I know it was meant to be called mda pro by t-mobile, but this name was dropped ages ago. when i got my device in july 2005 it was already called mda-pro.

Im currently on O2 at the mo (XDA IIi) with about 6 months of my current contract left.
Anyway when the time comes to upgrade, i quite fancy a Wizard ....
BUT i cant seem to find the device listed for any company (Tmobile, Vodaphone, O2, Orange) am i missing something?
Will it be available when i need to upgrade ?
Sorry if this has been asked before, i couldnt see any threads that jumped out at me.
I believe that O2 will have it soon, branded as the Mini Exec..
Expansys
Expansys (UK) have them in on T-mobile (as a vario) for £23.95 on web and walk 100

A few mobile sites have them in Qtek/Imate guises or branded to O2, but stocks seem to be minimal if non-existant. I rang t-mobile yesterday and upgraded for £40 to web and walk 100 for 18 months and the Vario. Recieved this morning and v. happy with it. My MDA compact is now being replaced (though it will be missed).

Anyone use these guys? I am trying to decide which version o2, imate, qtek, or t-mobile to buy of this phone. so far it seems as though imate would offer the best warranty. i take it that is why people buy from them. qtek seems to be junk for warranty service (please correct me if i am wrong). t-mobile does not seem to have an english rom - causes me work.
back a few years ago i got an XDA II from o2 to get a cheaper deal than existed on the i-mate version. never had any problems and i think i sold it at a markup from what i got it from direct from britain. now i'm back to purchase a new htc device and am wondering: what more do you get for buying from i-mate really???
hi guys regarding Importgsm they were pretty good on expiditing my order which was a tmobile mda with a qtek rom wwe, which they actually got of this website.
I bought mine for 589 + shiping. they offered one year warranty directly thru them
From what I've read here so far, it seems like the US T-Mobile MDA is pretty much the same as the German T-Mobile MDA Vario??
I will be looking at different websites to find reasonable priced MDA... my question is, if I ended up buying a german MDA Vario, will it work here in the USA (GPRS, EDGE, etc etc) with the american T-Mobile SIM Card? Reason I asked is because I had learned my lesson from the previous purchasing of a german Sidekick 2 which did not work for the GPRS (Data-wise), only the phone/SMS portion worked on the US T-Mobile.
mmm 26 views and no comments or ideas? Will I habe to be the one to go out on limb, try and see what happens?? :lol:
If the same phone is available locally to you, why would you buy one from Germany ?!
He is right why would you buy the phone oversees when you can get it here and probably cheaper...

Hi Hermes Owners!
--
Just wanted to know what variants of the Hermes are available in HKG. I'm on my way to HKG in 2 weeks and am looking to purchase a second PocketPC Phone.
--
I really fancy the HTC TyTn or dopod CHT 9000 but I like the HTC TyTn more because the CHT 9000 has Chinese characters on the thumb board which is a bit confusing if I'm going to use the device in English.
--
The dopod 838 pro is nice and all, but I like the look of the TyTn more.
--
So this is the question... are the TyTn and/or CHT 9000 available anywhere in HKG? If yes where can I get it and how much would it be? If they are not available is the 838pro already available, how much is it going for? Of course I'm asking about English OS devices please. Thanks in advanced for any info.

Regards from Manila
Pards,
Dopod838Pro, CHT9000 and O2 Trion are available in HK. Only the first is the official one (with local warranty) and widespread. All of them are available in English.
I like the O2 trion design, but I dumped mine since it has alignmnet issue and bought Dopod instead, whihc has the almost same design and with local warranty since I live in HK. But the Trion is cheaper...I dont like the HTC and CHT 9000 design...
Bummer no HTC TyTn... so you would suggest the 838pro over the other variants cause it has warranty. However I live in Manila so the Hong Kong warranty wouldn't really do me any good do you think I should wait for the 838pro to get to Manila it would probably take ages and be much too overpriced... We don't even have the 838 here yet officially [they are a lot in the tiangges of V-Mall, I even saw Cingular branded ones but brand new ones are so few]. How much did you get the 838pro there in Hong Kong?
I got the O2 a month ago for 5.2K and the dopod is now 6.1K (on 24 months installment) with 1GB uSD.
I heard that dopod838pro will be released in Manila this month..
Well I don't think they'd accept int'l cards for those installment deals [tried to purchase a notebook on installment last January at FORTRESS and I was told they don't accept int'l credit cards] so I'd have to pay cash I guess. Hmmm 6K for the Hermes... is it AKU3.0 already? I have AKU3.0 [by Ivan] on my Exec and am loving it... I just need a spare phone really but the HTC s620 still hasn't been announced and SAMSUNGs SGH-i607 is slated for an end of the year [possibly early next year release] so I was thinking why not get the Hermes first but 6K HKD is kinda steep for a spare phone, I tried using a v3i as a spare phone but missed the full sync that outlook and windows mobile does... if the 838pro will be out in Manila this month then I might see it here before I go to HKG on the 20th... hopefully they price it competitively. I hear the CHT 9000 is around 36,000 PhP in Taiwan but then again the chinese strokes on the keyboard are very confusing... oh my now I don't know if I should wait for the HTC s620, Samsung SGH-i607 or just get the Dopod 838pro. Also there has still been no additional leaks about the Universal successor [HTC Omni] which was mentioned a few weeks back, I was hoping to see even mock ups or planned specs atleast about that... anyway sectorlord thanks for all the great info really appreciate it.
I just saw the MDA T-Mobile Variants in Mongkok... sells for 4.8K ..
Wow, looks so sexy and the front keys layout and shape is the BEST of all the variants..
In very short supply in the UK, but I've just taken out a new contract that I wanted to use a Qtek 8500 with, so as a result I've got a totally unused, boxed T Mobile MDA Vario II available...
Was bought on Saturday (will provide receipt...)
Any takers? Looking to recoup the cost of the Qtek 8500 plus the cost of buying the Vario II on the tariff I went for...
Well, I want a german keyboard... so no deal poss. unfort.
how much are you asking for?
