Raphael as shadow II???? - Shadow General

Look at this post:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/...rope-as-t-mobile-mda-vario-iv-specs/#comments
can't find the post, but someone on allshadow.com makes the comparison to the shadow II spy pic from a few weeks back:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/t-mobiles-shadow-ii-revealed-in-spy-pic/
What do you think?

pretty much look the same... i agree with the posters, i live in the LA area and we're getting 3g by q4 almost guaranteed (this time) and if it doesn't have it, that would suck major... but i work for t-mo and have a clue on what good 3g phones are comin out

Close, but not quite. The big difference being that the Shadow II has the Windows Mobile smart hardware keys and the Raphael does not. So no they aren't the same, Shadow II is still non-touch screen w/WM Standard, and the Raphael is a touch screen device w/WM Pro.

I see those differences, but still hope it will happen. Look at the T-Mobile Wing for example, it's exterior doesn't look a lot like the HTC Herald that it really is.\
Also, T-Mo said that "Shadow" would be a line of devices, much like the MDA line over in UK (which I'm pretty sure inlcude both smartphone and ppc phones)

the vario is the ppc line the shadow is the standard line.
the shadow 2 will more then likley be a 250 MHZ standard 6.1 smartphone.

Ok. So it isn't the raphael. However, look at this pic I saw on engadget. What is the the HTC CONV100????

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.

Competition for the Kaiser?

OK, it's not strictly Hermes related and so shouldn't necessarily be in this forum, but was the closest I could think of
Like many here I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Kaiser to replace my aging but trusty Hermes. It seems to fit the bill perfectly but that could be because it's the only device that has everything I want. Or is it? Are there other devices on the way that I don't know about with the following?
GPS
3G
Wifi
qwerty keyboard
wm6
Lee.
Scratch WM6 from the list then Nokia's E90 has the rest and some more!

Yes, but the HTC Haiser (HTC P4550) don't have infra-red connection. It is its only "defect".

Its about time they kill the IR... it doesnt have much use these days anyway, especially since HTC havent made them very powerful lately... but thats my opinion
google for the Imate ultimate 7150. No GPS, but the 3.5" VGA screen & 18mm thickness might make up for that.
I looked at the Ultimate 7150 but decided that it's too wide for me - I wanted something smaller than my old Motorola A925 in every dimension!
A colleague at work is deciding between the Ultimate 8150 and Kaiser - The Kaiser won out today and now he's just waiting for it to become available.
It was the keyboard that swayed him in the end.
Cheers, Oggy.

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.
this will be my next phone if htc release it in europe.

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
below all the pictures.
One big question remain, how much will this new model cost?
I wish 128 Mb RAM

Exactly.
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.
Edit: It does exist...

its 64RAM see here http://203.84.199.31/language/trans...cts/pda_CHT9110/pda_CHT9110_fea.html&lp=zt_en
it's still a preproducton.. maybe they will change 128 Mb
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!
Here is the preordering page at a shop here in town.
The price is $1099 AUD.

HTC P3600i in latest "3"cattledog!
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!
woja
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.

is the CHT a D810 w/ Touch interface?

Differences

So i have a big question! what is the difference between the htc herald and the wing? is that i had seen in some roms one file for the p3450 and one 4 the wing what is the difference? And another question! What i should upgrade 4 the wing or the cingular 8525 what do you reccomend me? Does the wing feel chunky like the cingular 8525? What do you reccomend for me to buy? I now have a htc s710 but i dnt like it anymore! Thanks and please help me!
Wing and Herald are the same phone, the Wing is just T-mobile branded.
i don't think the Wing is clunky, but then again i didn't think the Treo 700/700w was either and almost everyone complains about those being bulky.
if the cingular phone you mentioned is the Tilt, then get that, because it has more memory and a faster processor. also the screen tilts, which i've found a few occasions where that would be nice.
actually, i've read that the Tilt's processor, while higher in frequency, doesn't vary much from the Wing performance-wise
It's the extra ram in the tilt/kaiser that makes the difference
oh and i should mention that the herald is quite slim for a ppc. It was one of HTC's first "fashion phones", an effort to expand beyond the uber-business clientele
The keyboard arrangements for wing and herald are slightly different. You can use the roms for either device pretty much interchangeably except at the end you need to apply the keyboard fix by Duprade.

Recomendations for Uni Replacement

I really do like my Uni but it is just too big to use as a phone. At present I carry use the Uni purely as an organiser. Can any one recommend a phone that has the following.
Keyboard
2.8" screen or larger.
Windows Mobile OS (but willing to consider others)
Smaller than Universal
The difficult bit is it must have IRDA. So this seems to rules out all the new phones. Any suggestions would be great.
HTC TyTn (Hermes)

If $ is not a problem: HTC Rhodium
There isn´t really a "Replacement", Universal is considered a piece of art on Mobile World
For having another reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443421&page=3
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
The HTC TyTn (Hermes) would be perfect but they are very difficult to find in the UK. So may need to buy one from the USA.
HTC Rhodium unfortunately has no IRDA.
Totally agree that the universal is one of the best devices ever made. It replaced my aging Psion 5MX which in its day was the best organiser with a fantastic keyboard. It seems strange that such well loved devices are not replaced with newer versions. It has taken 10 years for a serious replacement for the Psion to be made but it costs £500.
Search over ebay.co.uk, theres a lot SPV M3100 devices
I have had a look on pdadb.net and notice that there was a HTC released in the USA by Verizon called the XV6800. It seems to be the same as a Hermes but with built in GPS. Doeas anyone know if this was ever realesed in the UK.

Only the Hermes 100 (i-mate JASJAM, Orange SPV M3100, Cingular 8525). The display on the Hermes 200 (TyTN) is garbage - it's a transmissive display and it turns completely black in sunlight. Hermes 100 had a high quality transflective screen.
