Will i buy a Locked vario 2 ? Though don't have a t-mob sim :( - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hello guy's newbie here , u guys are very helpful & very nice site ,
i'm getting a t-mob vario 2 locked for 320 pounds so it's worth it to buy now & unlock it later with the help of your free solution ? suggest
1question does vario 2 have stereo speakers ?

I believe the Vario II (TyTN) has a mono single speaker, it does output stereo through its USB Mini port though.
The Vario II has known to come locked, and it says on the wiki page (Different Variations of HTC TyTN), that the HERM300 (Vario II) is locked to the network. Chances are, it might be unlocked.
Read the wiki about unlocking your Vario II.

Careful not to use any odd software you find on the net... It might screw up the Radio part of the device.

Damned glad to be here!
HOHOHOHO ... TyTN Forum .. Great ...
hellooooooo everyone! finally the mods/admins got down to work and we've got this forum. Now we can continue discussing all the problems and sleepless nights this handset is causing us.
All thats needed now is a nice pic to be out on the main index page.
Where is the Sprint PPC 6800?
I talked to a Sprint rep on Monday and he stated that on Friday the PPC 6800 along with the released Treo 755P was on some list of upcoming handsets and that on Monday it was gone but the 755 came out as expected. Apparently they get some renewed list every Friday. I also asked if the 755 was going to come out in a windows version but he stated that a WX version was not listed.
I gave up and kept my Cingular account, also gave up my 8125 and got an 8525(GSM TyTN Hermes) instead.
It came Tuesday with very old software and a radio package that really sucked! The stereo headset is a modified USB not a 2.5 and the mic is absolutely in the wrong place . . . So much for my expensive Shure headset . . .
Anyway, the HTC/Cingular upgrade works great and the phone's use experience is a tremendous improvement from the 8125. Thumbwheel with OK and Menu buttons are a very big help. There appears to be some adapter cables for the mic and there are several rumors about a factory upgrade to Mobile 6 upgrade. There is already one expected on the Europe HTC site and now on XDA-developers.com.
So for additional upgrades besides the phone:
No case
Need 2.5 or 3.5 headset adapter for Mp3 or wired voice ($15 ish)
New micro SD (only goes to 2 mg) ($35 ish)
No built in GPS unlike Sprint
No cradle like in Sprint and Canada pic’s ($50 ish)

Difference Wizard vs. Prodigy

Hi Y´all!
As I understand it the HTC Wizard came in two different forms; Wizard & Prodigy (or Wizard 100 and Wizard 110 as I´ve read they are sometimes called), with the groups being as follows:
Wizard:
i-Mate K-Jam
O2 XDA Mini
Orange SPV M3000
Qtek 9100
T-Mobile MDA Vario
Prodigy:
Dopod 838
Cingular 8125
Vodafone VPA Compact II
What is really the difference between the two of these groups (besides the slight difference in shape), are there any at all?

As far as I can see, they are actually the same (including the shape). HTC Prodigy was the original Code Name which was then changed to Wizard on its release (like Hermes is TyTn). Certain vendors may have the case recoloured (QTek) or have it slightly changed (O2 has the O2 logo embossed on it), but they are essentially the same.
ok so I accidentily mixed up the names of the two groups, according to geekzone (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/smartdevices.asp?phonemodelid=17 && http://www.geekzone.co.nz/smartdevices.asp?phonemodelid=156) the prodigy are the five devices in the top list and the wizard are the other three.
Plus they do look a bit different as seen in these pics:
cingular 8125:

qtek 9100:

The thing is that we develop an application running on these devices and now my development crew tell me that our application is handled differently by these two groups...

From what I have read, the K-Jam and the XDA Mini S ARE both Wizards. Of this I am fairly certain. (They look like the one you posted from joncollins.net)
The HTC Prodigy in most pictures looks like the Wizard and in the Specs sounds like the wizard. In one set (on www.phones2udirect.co.uk) it says the Wizard has Windows PPC 2005 while the Prodigy has WM5 (and I know my "Wizard" has WM5).
The images of those with a different case seem to be few and far between (inlcuding the ones on the geekzone.co.nz pages you posted which have a different shell, but otherwise the specs are the same). Try Google images for more, but they all seem to look like my phone (XDA Mini S) too.
I'd recommend getting it to work on a standard Wizard (which seems the most prevalent design) and if someone can say that there is a problem with Phone X, get one in as there seems to be confusion over which is which (and there is also the HTC Prophet, just to try and confuse people more....).
{Edit} Maybe this will help -
European products - http://www.europe.htc.com/products/
Japanes product - http://www.japan.htc.com/product.htm
American Products - http://www.america.htc.com/products/default.html
The american one seems to have the phone you are on about and the T-Mobile MDA then everything else below that is something else I have not seen before.... but they are actually a different machine.{/edit}
thanks for the answer, very descriptive

Mda Vario - Wiza100

could it be possible that a T-mobile MDA VArio is a wiza100?
i am looking for a defective unit since i need it for parts for my dopod 838(wiza100) and could the hardware or main board parts be used from the MDA Vario to the dopod 838?
any reply would mean great help. thanks.
On the home page of xda-devs forum it lists all the other names that devices may be known as. According to the front page of this forum, yes the dopod 838 is also known as the MDA Vario. As far as I know parts are interchangable regardless of what branding they may have.

Software wise they are 100% the same..hardware wise there are minor differences between some of the models..for instance the stylus on cingular 8125 and tmobile MDA (vario) is not the same..the keyboard is slightly different...you may have problems using some of the parts..outer casing etc.
I am concerned if the parts of the board is the same for both the mda vario and cingular 8125/dopod 838. I need an IC component for the USB module and i found a vario that has a broken LCD, i was wondering if the electronic components of a wiza100 and the wiza200 would be the same or compatible?

Xdai Mda2 display differences

Hi i'm new to this post so sorry if i ask a question wich was answered often. (yes i allready used the search engine) I'm also not an naturally english speaker (i'mgerman) so also sorry for my bad english.........

i have several spare parts for an mda2 laying around here. And i now found a really good looking XDA 2i on ebay with a broken display. Does anybody know if the mda 2 and the xda2i have the same display connector.So i could take my tft from a mda2 and replace the broken one on the xda2i .i think i heard something that some types of this Pda have different ones. But i was not sure if it concerns the xda 2i.
thx for answering
hi, take care with that
sorry , but the XDA IIi connector is different from the mda 2
compatibility is : qtek 2020/ o2 xda II / Tmobile MDA II/HTC himalaya/orange spv m1000
Qtek 2020i / Dopod 699 / O2 Xda IIi / i-mate PDA2 / Orange SPV M1500 / Orange SPV M2500/HTC ALPiNE or Andes
take care. i may have a screen for sale, i m french, mail me on [email protected]
So display from Qtek 2020 and the o2 xdaII have the same display connector ?
