3G & Videocommunication missing :-(

Why arent these features implemented? This device is no reason for me to change, cause i´m an owner of a magician.
Only the keypad and wlan aren´t enough arguments to change.
Does anybody know an comparable device with 3G & video in this formfactor at the moment?

O2 XDA Exec
Yes the O2 XDA exec shortly to be released has 3G and videocommunications,

This is not in the same formfactor he asked for...

The CDMA version of the Wizard (the Apache) has 3G (EVDO). It doesn't have video conferencing though.

Didnt think this was a 3g phone any way... and tbh what exactly does 3g give us... high speed data... ok cool.... but WIFI will be quicker... oh and vid confrencing... wow.... when everybody has it on landlines - may be... until then I strugle to find a use for picture messaging let a lone video..
Even my 2G phone ( Motorola 720i ) does me for work... and I work from home.
Also has any one thought that there may be 'business reasons' not to have a camera... I know of a few - namly security in some situations.

( Sorry for the rant .... just sort of came out... my point was does it matter that you cant vid conf... if thats what you want get a Universal... this I think is aimed at the middle market the same as the Wizard and thats never IMHO been marketed as a top of the range phone - mearly one that does a lot ).

The upcoming HTC Hermes model will have a front-facing video camera and a rear-facing megapixel camera, plus 3G (non-USA-friendly UMTS again like the JASJAR, I'm assuming).
So, the JASJAR had the videoconferencing you wanted, but the size you wanted in the Wizard, hold out for the Hermes coming out the first half of 2006.

Check The Imate Site Out !!!

They 're all there listed in all their glory.

Cool....but I can't beleive that they only put a 200 mhz processor in the K-Jam :shock: .....What a waste....... :?

Would be good if people learned that its not possible to measure performance just based on megahertz.

Dual processing , greater battery performance . Benchmarked already to perform better than the Magician . WM2005 helps out a lot here too , it's a design thing and the developers have listened . Battery technology is not moving as fast as chipset technology so enhance the processor and the operating system to compensate. Makes sence to me .
If your not convinced, then wait , I'm sure there will be loads of reviews coming up soon.
Shallax , I'm sure you've seen this but this what the wizard will be put on Ebay for.
HTC Hermes [Pocket PC phone]
- should be 1st half of 2006
- like HTC Wizard with slide QWERTY Keyboard
- Size also about the same
- video call camera on the top right corner of the screen.
- it s 3G (UMTS)
- Wi-Fi, IR & Bluetooth
- 2.1 Mpixels Camera (Behind)
P.S can't believe you haven't had a phone for amonth :shock: Must be like giving up smoking :wink:

Yep, definitely sounds good... but I need a phone NOW! Maybe I'll upgrade later down the road ;p
And yes, being without a phone is pretty bad - having never smoked I can't really compare ;p

Hi everyone, since i not yet have any i-mate phone yet, i cannot be a member of the i-mate site, can anyone help me to login with i-mate 's support site and download the manual of the K-jam ? Thanks

Check this out from the i-mate site

I think that that means the Bluetooth 2.0 rumors were correct!! Yes!

Possibly - we'll see. Im not holding out too much hope for this.
*Edit* Woah, hangon: http://www.qtek.fi/qtek9100.htm - seems Qtek has revised this page "Bluetooth 2.0"!

I-Mate site
unfortunately the club I-Mate site won't let you download the manuals/view the faq unless you have a k-jam registered. So even the folks who have access to the site, but do not have a k-jam registered can't get to the information.

Possibly.....but it remains to be seen......from what you say, you should know that....

Wy should i buy a Mega??

Hello to all
I want to buy a new pda, cause my Diamond is getting slow, but i don't know witch one to buy.
I like Mega but i don't know if it's fast, or after buying i will regret it.
Please give me your feedback.
Thanks

MEGA
Hi, I also had diamond but its become slower and operating was boring.Then I bought MEGA and it´s fantastic!!!!Fast and nice.
but if you need something more from mobile, like vga graphic, auto focus etc then buy HD or something like this.

I was also thinking weather I should buy the Touch2 or not, so I went for it and am quite satisfied with it. The only bad thing about the phone is when you surf the internet the pages aren't displayed good until you zoom in, but overall it's a great phone with a long-lasting battery and a lot of capabilities

Wait until there HardSpl for the mega is released before you buy it. I do regret buying it atm. A WinMo Phone without custom rom support is not fun at all.

dont buy Mega yet... you will regret...

This phone is very fast, he has no unnecessary gadgets.
A lot of memory allows you to run multiple programs, this is very good.
I recommend this model.

hi
well budget is the limit this seems to be the only android phone which is in my budget thanks for ur kind reply

Tattoo is fine but...
Hey There,
This depends on whether you really need XDA support or not, I know we all here do to tweak our phones and get the most out of it!!
But if you are the types who does not play around much with the phone and wants an Android phone on a budged, I would recommend the Spica (has 3G but no GPS) and a larger screen, and is also way cheaper than the Tattoo.

Way cheaper than the Tattoo? It depends on where you are. My son paid <£110 for a Tattoo off eBay.
The Samsung is only cheaper if you pay full price.

Waiting for reply

sorry my frind ther is no link, i didnt saw on internet i saw it at dubai market wen i was shoping ther.

I have no idea what you are asking. Do you mean you saw a cheap copy of the Nexus One? And asking if there are roms for that cheap Chinese clone?

not likely... doubt any dev will do it either... but u cud do it urself considering the source code is online...

Did you mean you seen a fake copy version of Nexus One? All fake phone got look only and normally done in China. It is fake which means inside won't be Android.
It just a normal non-smartphone + less power spec, probably you won't get 1Ghz snap dragon on it. That all.

There are fake nexus one's all over ebay. I think the best way to mod them is for use as a bomb detonators.
Well no, not really.

I am in Shanghai, China right now and went to a place famous for knock off phones. I did not see any Nexus One's. I did however see an authentic HTC Desire they were trying to sell for $600USD.

The place i see it is UAE on Dubai market and the cost is around $50

don't expect the clone phone to have similar specs as original phone.
you can buy it for your 2 year old son though

You can buy it as a normal phone and have fun on it. Don't expect it load Android and have same performance and functionality as Original one.
Always remember "They is always no FREE meal in this world".

There *are* knockoff phones that run Android. But you won't get official Google Apps or Market access most likely. And even if it really is running Android, there won't be much of a developer community trying to make the software work well on that phone.
Other typical characteristics of many knockoff phones:
- Only 2G/EDGE, no 3G
- Only dual-band GSM, not quad-band
- Poor hardware quality
- Poor software quality
- Poor battery life
- A propensity to not receive your friends' text messages or phone calls all day, leading you to wonder why you haven't heard from them (this happened with me and a friend who got a fake Nokia)

You mostly get one extra features in all FAKE phone:
- DUAL sim.. haha
