HTC Real UMPC (HTC Shift) first hand picture !! - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Hi guys, as you probably know by now, i have close relation with HTC, on the recent phone call with their senior engineer, i have been giving the first hand information about the first UMPC device of HTC !!!
It's call the HTC Shift, is uses the similar design as HTC Kaiser (i assume you guys have seen this device).
Here is the confirm spec:
7-inch touchscreen, 30GB hard drive, Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, and Windows Vista.
I haven't got the chance to play with it yet, but my friend has and he says the key is very comfortable, fairly light weight. Built quality is very good, screen is amazing.
So when will be see this device? Well at the moment plan is for Q3, about the same time with Omni. So it's still quite a wait.
Below is a picture.
p.s. While i was posting this thread, i found out HTC has already post the info on their web! http://www.htc.com/
well, at least my post is still first hand in turns of spec

btw that info is quite right, that is basically HTC X7500 with WM6. It's not available right now, but yes, Advantage will eventually be upgradeable to WM6.
I though that is not new to all you you. I have told you this quite a while ago

if so what about dopod u1000?
i put my order in expansys in hong-kong
and i am waiting for it.
do you think that the u1000 will ship with the WM6
already???

none of the device is shipping use WM6 right now, the X7501 is just an announcement, it's not available now, but one thing you guys can be sure is once the WM6 rom is available, we can all flash it then

Sorry, quite confused..
Do you mean, the brand name HTC Shift will not be available in Asia but it will be marketed under the Dopod branding?
What's the project code name? (e.g HTC Athena aka HTC Advantage)

Yes, it won't be available in Asia as HTC Shift, i will be DOPOD (something).
They might even not sell it in Asia at all for this device by the way.
The code name of HTC Shift is Shangri-La.
BTW a important message here for all you USA buyer. The HTC Advantage won't be available in USA until Summer, but when it's available, i will be call HTC X7501, so is there any different between x7501 and Advantage, yes!
X7501 will have WM6 in built! So it means official WM6 ROM will be available around Summer.
Please also note the European HTC Advantage will only have WM5 for now.

Wow interesting!!! thanks for info...

According to the register, it will run vista, not windows mobile
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/27/htc_unveils_windows_vista_shift/

Excellent specifications but too big for me ! (19 x 13 x 3 cm) which makes it more than twice the size of my Alpine !

yes, it runs Vista, this thread got a bit off topic because people are more excited about the WM6 upgrade rather then the new HTC Shift
anyway, i agree the size is quite big, my friend has already test it, and he say basically UMPC and PPC are two completely different product,which i totally agree.
got so tired of people trying to compare Athena with UMPC, i don't care that Athena cost like a UMPC, it has it's own advantage. And i will never want to run XP or Vista on my Athena as well.

A video of it on youtube:

Does anyone have any informations as to when the HTC SHift may be available in the UK??
Many thanks

Are you sure wu?
Now DOPOD is joint with HTC, so no more DOPOD brand even on asia... you can check at their web: www.dopodasia.com now they become www.asia.htc.com
Even HTC touch avaiable in asia with HTC brand...
Can you confirm or correct me?

phone calls
was drooling over this and watching a few reviews on line reading up is it true it has no microphone? does that mean i need a bt headset to make calls or as suggested cant make calls at all. as why bother with both O/S's if you cant make calls????????????????

From what I have been able to find out, it does not have a microphone, and you DO need a bt headset to use the phone functions.
I believe that the dual o/s is stupid tho! It is only due to the fact that m$ has not figured out how to make Vista work right yet as a stand-alone o/s, much less add telephony to an already EXREMELY buggy o/s!!
Hope this helps........Later

Crossbow will become available?

...the topic says it all. (talking for trinity of course)
MS announced it officially.
Anybody heard anything?
That is a question for some old HTC/QTEK users, if they managed to install newer OS on some older devices than maybe there is a hope for Trinity also in future.

Best thing that could happen to a Trinity user: HTC releasing ROM to include WM6, GPS Functionality, FM Radio Enabled (if the H/W exists) all before the end of the month.
After moving from XP to Vista, using WM5 just doesn't feel right anymore.
I would be very surprised if HTC would give away a brand new OS for free. Expect to pay for it, if it is released at all.

I'm probably going to wander off to the Eten corner if HTC do this to us.
Someone have actually mailed to Dopod(owned by HTC) and they replied that they will not offer WM6 upgrade to any of the existing WM5 models. They only said that new WM6 model will be out soon. So...

TyTN vs Zinc - help me choose??

Hi Folks,
I need a bit of help choosing my next PDA, I've had loads of pocketPC, windows mobile devices inc. HP Jornada 548, Tosh 540, Dell X5, iPAQ hx4700 but this will be my first forage into "convergance" devices.
I was originaly tempted to upgrade my phone to the Orange UK version of the HTC TyTN but i'm now getting cold feed with all this talk of new devices due out, I know there are always newer and better just around the corner but I don't want to jump into a 12 month contract just to find a newer and better unit being available next week.
My dilema is this.....after seeing the specs for the O2 Zinc with the Xscale 520Mhz processor and seeing the benchmarks against the TyTN I'm now more inclinded to wait the for the release of this Zinc (26th March 07), however on my travels through the tinternet I have stumbled upon what I would consider my ideal device...the HTC Kaiser, does anybody have any ideas which network will be carring this device and when it will be released????
I'm fairly sure the overwelling opinion on the site will be for the TyTN but I just need to know what makes this device a "No Brainer" compaired to the O2 Zinc.
Cheers Jim

Not really the answer you want, but my philosophy on life is, get the best you can today and not worry about what's out tomorrow... otherwise you'll never get anything because you'll always find that a month or so down the line something better will come out... so to say!
Otherwise, the Zinc does seem impressive... but O2 have already delayed the release once, so who's to say it will actually be out at the end of march anyway
True....Very True. The exception to that case was the iPAQ hx4700. which in my opinion is still one of the very best PDAs out there and its now 2 years old ???
I decided to hang back for the release of the Zinc hoping WM6 will be on it. have you tried flashing your rom to wm6??? if so did you have any problems setting the phone back up for T-Mobile??

I'll agree with you on that... I used to have a hx4700 myself... it was the VGA aspect that appealed to me, but I felt it was before its time... oh, and slightly big!
I think the Zinc will have v5.2 on it???
I've flashed my MDA several times and can almost memorise the internet/mms settings that takes approx. 2 mins to put back in... its all good fun
You may never flash WM6 on a Zinc...

Yeah - similar case here. I flash frequently and I could probably set it all back up again the way I like it with my eyes closed Top tip: get CAB files for all your favourite apps (and any relevant serial numbers) and keep them in a folder on your storage card. That way you can even get all set up from a full reset with nothing but your phone.

Absolutly agree.... I kept all my CAB files on my SD card..Just incase.. but that was WM03se. Is there a HTC "official" rom update available for wm6...where did the wm6 roms come from?? oh and whats the best...
back to the original question,
I own a TYTN and ive had good test run with the Zinc, even though the Zinc has a faster OS the tytn feels faster and reacts better. The finish of the Zinc is a big cheap looking too.
If i was to buy a new phone today it would be the Tytn again, if i was to wait then it would be kaiser or even one of the new samsungs.
Cheers lads.....Just bought a TYTN - Orange SPV M3100 to be more precise.
Now whats the score with all these ROM upgrades.
and is there a today plugin simliar to the Orange today screen
Problem with O2 is the data charges. They're probably the worst out of all the UK networks!
I'd hate to get a phone like the Zinc or Kaiser and have to constantly monitor my data useage.

That's far too big a question. You've got some reading to do - see the wiki
for the mods.. you can delete this message if you want...
i just want people warned specially in asia region that o2 zinc is not that good ..
although better processor ( but you will not see the difference compare to HTC hermes ),camera and o2 integrated software..
THere are many other choices on O2 products... Atom exec, atom life..etc..
Just not this is O2 Zinc is not worth recommending....
or im strongly recommending HTC HERMES (Dopod 838 pro, Softbank, or the HTC Tytn if available) if your fun of slide keyboard...
I promised you this will be a great help on you...
Trust me...
I just want you to be happy like me now..

Pocket-lint Reporting that WM6 for Ameo is Coming

Quote from http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/reviews/review.phtml/2350/3374/t-mobile-htc-ameo-smart-phone.phtml
"The Ameo still disappointingly runs Windows Mobile 5 rather than 6, but this shouldn't put you off all together, and although T-Mobile hasn't set a date, it has confirmed to Pocket-lint that customers will get a free upgrade to version 6 when it happens."
Article is dated today (21 May 2007).
-Krip
Good news, but expected. As HTC is giving us WM6 for the Advantage, it would be stupid not to release it to the "other models"...
Pocket-Lint...that's funny..
I never heard of it..Guess you learn new things each day
The funny thing is the review seems so un-professional with lots of mistake. Could this just be a rumor or they are really sure the WM6 update is coming? Anyway, check out these mistake they made:
1. They say HTC Ameo Smartphone----well it's not really smart phone isn't it, smart phone is without touch screen..
2. Exclusive to T-Mobile-------well it's not true, it's also available on HTC and DOPOD
3. Athena and now called the HTC Ameo---------what? it's T-mobile Ameo not HTC Ameo
4. ATU Graphic Chip W2284------I believe is ATI Graphic chip not ATU
It's not normal that a review got so many mistake, but really, personally i think the review is quite useless, it doesn't tell us much, most of the review done here in this forum has a higher standard than this.
And looks like they have confuse them self with HTC and T-mobile, so when they say WM6 Update is coming, do they really mean it's the T-mobile? or they think it's the HTC....I guess time will tell
Thanks for the info. We'll see how soon they come out with it.

New Trinity/HTC p3600i

Yep, everyone here in oz is talking about this- no places are stocking the Dopod D810 anymore as they cant get it.....
apparently within the next few weeks a new HTC P3600i will be released with more memory and a faster processor......
not sure if this is fiction or not but sounds good- strange though that they would release it here before anywhere else... we always seem to get technology like this about 6-12months after everywhere else (we only got electricity last week! )...... no iphone until late this year.... etc....
personally i think that it is just a rebranding of the current Dopod D810? Anyone from here who has good sources can confirm this?
look at the post halfway down the page here- one guy buying a heap from 3 has been told of the P3600i....:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=658349&p=-1#bottom
Personally I think it's just a rebranding ... cause the latest official Dopod WM6 ROM (we all jumped on ) states "HTC_P3600i" in the 'About' screen...
Or....in the case of a real P3600i, this would explain why there are some issues with this Dopod ROM on a regular P3600...
Hmz..
It's true
HTC is updating the Trinity with a 500MHz processor and larger memory. Also known as CHT9110 (our P3600 is CHT9100) in Taiwan and offered for about 20% price increase.
Why would they do this when HTC is unveiling a few new phones in a few months? To me the Polaris is the phone to get.....

I don't see a 3G small (i.e. without keyboard) phone with GPS in the HTC roadmap so maybe there's room for an improved P3600.

Huh? The Polaris is the same exact phone as the 3300 but with 3G. It has a 2.8" screen, not a 3.5" screen, that was a typo. I have spec screen shots of the Polaris and it looks great.
Look at my ActiveSync, one of the choices is HTC P3600i
after flashing my trinity w/ Dopod's official WM6 ROM, activesync detects it as a P3600i already
it seem soo pc'ish to be willing to replace a device to get 100Mhz more
battery life is more importent
more so if one like to be online with messenger with 3g while on the move
i dont see much real world change in that
polaris seems like a pretty cool device imho
Yep it may be rebranded as HTC P3600i or Dopod810x anyway from what I have seen so far in some Asian websites (HTC P3600 = CHT9100 and the HTC P3600i = CHT9110)
the new specifications may be:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
Samsung 500Mhz CPU
256MB ROM/64MB RAM
All the rest should remain the same as the previous model.
I can't say that it is 100% sure but you can still have a look at:
http://mobile.163.com/07/0718/10/3JM8DP840011179O.html

One big question remain, how much will this new model cost?
I wish 128 Mb RAM

You would think if there really was an upgrade you would have heard about it. I mean the Artemis is getting an upgrade and we are hearing an official announcement and they gave it 128mb of RAM.

128M of RAM would definitely cause battery to drainer much quicker - unless they upgrade the battery too.
P3600i available in Australia in one week.
It really does exist!

Yep guyz and guyesses. The latest 3 Three cattledog inside back cover shows and lists the HTC P3600i available on a $49 plan for $32 per month. Now that's $4 less than the Dopod D810 albeit on a $29 plan.
Organizer world have it listed also at $1099 due in about 10 days or so.
Extra ram and 500 processor and my favorite a built in GPS receiver.
Just tought you would like to know that it really is happening!

The Kaiser will be king again!
Actually I reckon that the HTC Kaiser will be the one to wait for coz it's got lots of goodies incuding a keyboard which sits at an angle, has a great and worthwhile camera etc but I don't think it has GPS. There are reviws on the web.

This is your opinion. I have used the Kaiser and as great of a phone it is, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.
I dislike slide out keyboards as I have had 2 phones like this and got rid of them both. I also dislike heavy phones and this phone is one of the heaviest phones I have held in a while.
Anyway, why would you post about the Kaiser in this thread? If anything, I would be waiting for the Polaris personally, not the Kaiser.

It´s a cool toy,really pricey and expensive but nice.More processor,more rom memory and WM6,I´m sure it´ll work "beautiful",but I see it really,really expensive.
And now is when I think....no Htc WM6 for our Trinities,which is something that I don´t even care,I´d rather pay our cooks.
My next toy will be E-TEN.
$1100 my god!
i personally think HTC should give it for free to existing 3600 owners... it is just a processor upgrade... how much is that for a hardware manufacturer, $0.5? ok .. a little bit memory... $1?
I bet the screen is the same ultrareflective thing... what about the paint? looks like the same thing.... then why is it soooo much expensive??

You talk about AU$1100.-- this is 655.- eu I think normal price here in europe and if you can deliver for this price 0.50 this processor you can deliver 1000 pieces to me with 100% margin for you, Keep on Dreaming.
I received mine yesterday from 3 in Australia. Its exactly the same as the D810 except for 500mhz cpu and 256mb flash. The ROM version, Radio version and protocol version are the same as in the official WM6 D810 ROM (at least in Australia). Needless to say, the application mix is identical to the D810 WM6 load.
The only external difference is that the case has the htc logo on the front top left and rear bottom centre instead of the dopod logo. The colouring of the buttons etc is exactly the same as the d810.
The box it comes in is new, Black and Green vs the Red that the Dopod came in.
OW has dropped price to AU$995, but release date back to 7th September. Does anybody know if three will sell these outright? Never mind... found it on their site $1,049
In the calculatorking link, what gps software is that displayed on the screen?

Hmmm, so if this HTC P3600i is about $1000 AUS that is about $822 USD. I have seen the Kaiser offered for pre-order at about the same amount here in the US.
I imagine the price will settle a little lower once they are rolling them out.
I would really prefer to see a little bit more of jump in features before I will be yearning to spring this kind of cash though...
Both the Kaiser and the P3600i seem like relatively small upgrades, but not a leap. That is a quite a lot of memory though!
Maybe I'll buy one if a drop my Trinity down a well or something!
The thing that is really lagging behind here in the US is the 3G Networks themselves. T-Mobile hasn't rolled theirs out yet and att still isn't fullly National. Plus we still can't use the live Video Telephony feature fully on our existing phones.
just picked one up, on side of box says "Flash ROM 256MB / SDRAM 64MB. So no ram upgrade to 128 in Aus.
Can't say much more as it is on the charger... and its my first PDA/Phone so not much to compare against. No doubt I'll be getting flack for asking n00b questions soon.
For those interested, be aware that the new HTC P3600i can not be upgraded or flashed currently.
SSPL, HardSPL, Des SPL, splExploit all do not work at all on it. So far, i can't find a way to actually flash anything other than the official WM6 ANZ rom thats available.

HTC is playing cat and mouse with the ROM bakers. Someone will probably eventually figure out how to do it...but you never know, one day they might succeed in making them "cook" proof .
P3600i rom on P3600...
As far as I could see and also stated before the biggest difference is the CPU.
Would it be possible to upgrade a P3600 with the P3600i WM6 rom?
Its CPU and storage space.
The ROM on the P3600i, is the official WM6 ANZ rom for the P3600/Dopod D810 that was released a couple weeks back, nothing else to it, same protocol, radion, rom and IPL/SPL.
Except this bugger thing won't update no matter what i do so far, and can't get any help on it either.
