A real Charmer or not? - MDA Compact II General

Hi all, I'll be getting a black O2 XDA II Mini tomorrow However the curret owner is unsure whether if the housing on it is the original or not, just that it's a matte textured black housing. Is there anyway I can distinguish for certain whether if it is a a Magician with a black housing or a Charmer via the software/firmware means?
Thanks in advance

well it'll run windows mobile 2003 if its a magician and wm5 if its charmer. just check the about page

i-mate vs. qtek

hi,
i am looking into purchasing a htc prohpet ppc phone. expansys has the i-mate jamin and the qtek s200. i realize that, at least on the inside, the devices are identical.
i would like to know if anyone has had the chance to compare them. are they exactly the same except the logo or are there some differences. for example, i noticed that qtek mentions their scratch resistant surface, is i-mat ethe same ?
thanks for any comments on these two devices,
scott
The hardware will be identical apart from the logo. Even the scratch resistant surface. Where there may differ is how each will add value by adding useful applications like SPB GPRS Monitor and other such things.

Wizard LCD replacement

Hi All,
I need to change the lcd and the housing on my wizard I have an lcd from a magician (imate jam) would that work with the Wizard (imate K-jam).
Also I can't find the service manual for the wizard in the ftp server can somebody help me find it.
Thanks
Serkan
well I ended up opening it up by myself it was straight forward but now I need to know if the LCD's are the same between Wizard and magician.
The magician is a end edition one...
I think they are diferent. But not sure.
Anyway. I need a wizard keyborad ribon for my faulty one. Have you this part?
Thank you
it turned out both LCD's are the same. But there are 2 kinds of LCD's for both the magician and the wizard (gen1 and gen2) in my case I was lucky that they were both the same gen.
And for your question, I am sorry but I don't have any spare parts.

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?

JAMin / SVP M600 / S200 ... identical?

Hi,
Firstly, I'm new to this forum, so hello to everyone! It looks like a place I'll visit often
I recently bought a 2nd hand i-mate JAMin. I'd never used a PDA/mobile combo before and now I have one I love it! But I've only had it a week and yesterday the screen broke!
I was looking for replacement screens on ebay - I found a company that sold many types of replacement lcd but I couldn't see i-mate JAMin in their list - I emailed them to ask if they stock any and they simply replied "no, we don't". Then I learned that the JAMin is an HTC Prophet and that this is also sold as the "Orange SVP M600" and the "Qtek S200". This very same ebay seller *does* sell replacement screens for the Orange SVP M600!!! - they currently have 10 in stock!
If I buy an Orange SVP M600 screen will it fit my i-mate JAMin, or not?
Same goes for the Qtek S200 ... can I use the screen (or case / battery etc.) from a Qtek S200 in my i-mate?
Finally - yesterday I saw some step-by-step photo instructions on how to disassemble the JAMin and replace the screen. It looks a bit tricky but I reckon I can manage it. However, the written instructions were in a foreign language... does anyone have a link to a good quality disassembly guide? (and can anyone let me know what type of screwdriver I need to undo those little hexagonal screws?)
EDIT: I found this link elsewhere on this site http://www.modaco.com/content/prophet-prophet-modaco-com/240109/changing-you-prophet-case/
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
I emailed that ebay shop again asking if they are sure that their Orange SVP M600 replacement LCDs would not be compatible with my i-mate JAMin since both PDAs are an HTC Prophet inside. This is the reply I got ...
The ribbon colours can be different, so these LCD are not the same.
But we just got in stock lcd for Jamin, so you can order this Orange SPV M600 replacement LCD display screen and make note that this should be for JAMIN and we will pick correct ribbon colour

Does this "ribbon colour" thing fit with anyone else's experiences?
It seems a bit odd that the day I ask if JAMin and SVP M600 screens are the same they suddenly get stock of JAMin screens and they want me to order a JAMin screen by buying a SVP M600 screen and telling them it's for JAMin!
Either way, I'm currently bidding on a different 'spare-screen' auction... if I don't win that I guess I'll order from these guys in the way they've described.

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.........
so after all these my question
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 ?
Recently my QTek 2020 connector broke, and I bought a T-Mobile MDA II , but the motherboard and the screens where different
