Guys / Gals,
I have been trying to find in this forum a straight forward yes no type answer to the following question ( but have been unable too ) :
My wife has just bought a T-Mobile(UK) MDA Compact III (ARTE110), there seems to be some confusion (maybe it's just me ) as to wether it is possible to enable wi-fi on this device. Is this possible ?
And before someone try's to Flame me as a none searching n00b I have searched and the results are somewhat confusing.
Cheers
Dave
I don't see how it can be that confussing, everytime anyone asks they either get told to search, or they get told NO, THE UK T-MOBILE MDA COMPACT III HAS NO WI-FI HARDWARE IN IT.
The uk O2 XDA Orbit has, as does the HTC P3300, and funnily enough the Dutch T-mobile MDA Compact III.

OK maybe I should have said "Mixed" instead of confusing.
The o2 Orbit is a different spec than the MDA Compact III, it has less memory !
Anyway without wishing to get into symantics, thankyou for your answer.

I am planning to get a XDAIIs in a very short time coz I will be travelling overseas 1 week later.
Because of that I need to unlock my XDAIIs......anyone tried to approach O2 and get his IIs unlocked (for a fee or whatever)?

Seems XDA II can be "unblock", how about IIs?
Thanks everyone!
PS: I can't see MDA III from T-Mobile UK on its website, or in shop few days ago, is it really released in UK? If it is unlockable for 15pounds I am happy to pay for it, but I like the black colour of IIs more.
Thanks again!
Hi all, newbie to the forum here.
I too like the black casing of the XDA IIs as opposed to the MDA III, PDA2k, etc. and would like to know if it's possible to unlock this phone.
I'd also like to know if, once unlocked, it's possible to put a different ROM on the device, like the imate PDA2k ROM or the UK MDA III ROM.
In reading through the forum, it seems that there's not much information about the XDA IIs yet, but any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Has anyone got any news regarding the MDA III on T-Mobile.co.uk, ive tried looking and the only tmobile phone i can find is the SDA.
Does anyone know why or any info?
i think they were sent back for a software upgrade cos thier was a problem with them. not sure about the compact though.
Do any of the dutch viewers of this excelent forum by any chance know if the Dutch T-mobile MDA Compact III is equipped with the FM radio. The website of T-mobile doesn't mention this. Which seems a little odd to me. Quite an important aspect of the phone to leave out.
Can any of the dutch users help me?
Thanks

It seems not, i received an e-mail from (1 hour ago) T-mobile stating the MDA Compact III is sold without FM Radio Capability.
But if it is a matter of applying another ROM than it will have this capability?
If the T-mobile employee that send the mail is not mistaken offcourse.
Thanks
IT HAS

Thats not really the question is it
[SOLVED]
Finally an awnser to the question. Although no one knows at T-mobile. The dutch version does have a FM radio. T-mobile probably did'nt find it an important aspect of the phone. Well it is to me.
I picked up the phone yesterday, and am setting it up. so...topic closed i guess...
uncletaz, your reading sucks

As i stated in the beginning of my first post. WITH. I've motivated my statement with the argument that it was the same as the p3300! And as we all know the P3300 has radio as well as wlan.
Congratulations! You at least know what you are talking about, although T-mobile doesn't. You are right, i could have read it from your second post, i am sorry for the misunderstanding. It must have been the lack of subtlety in your second reply that made me overlook the importance of its contents.
Again thank you for the clarification and hopefully in the future i will bring my glasses
Sorry, maybe I am just stupid ... but ... there is no Wifi Hardware, or its just disabled?
Thank You...
After hoping and researching for a long time, a lot of people agreed, that the WiFi Hardware is not included in the device, at least noone managed to switch something on and get WiFi to work. They tried all WWE ROMs that come with WiFi Enabled, so it is not a Software thing
Realy BAD news But how its possible? I mean, is it not a same device with different names? I really dissopointed about it ...
The MDA III is the HTC Hero, which does not come with Wi-Fi hardware.
dutch mda compact III
actually the dutch mda compact III does have wifi
the sticker behind the battery also states that it is a Artemis.
WLAN
Please do not duplicate topics, utilize search engine of the forum before posting same questions.

The subject is however the MDA Compact III... that is not the same as the MDA III. My MDA Compact III does have wifi because I live in the Netherlands. Other countries may differ.
One colleague on polish forum pdaclub.pl told to HTC.
HTC said, thad they are making only one hardware for all recipients.
Ogre2000
I think also that is the same hardware only they Model no. is different my is ARTE110 from tmobileuk if we install from ARTE100 will be wifi working.
look this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Versions
Can I upgrade my T-Mobile MDA compact III to the WLan Version?
Thanks for your help!
why you dont use "search"?
Well this upgrade is possible, yes.
1. Send your MDA Compact III back to T-Mobile and ask for your money
2. Buy an XDA-Orbit or original HTC P3300
3. Done, enjoy WLAN
Sorry for sarcasm, but this has been discussed to the max, there is no way of getting WLAN to work on a MDA C III by any Software "Tricks".
This device is simply not equipped with propper Hardware.
...
Yes, I absolutely agree with Samson711. Still drag up this useless theme. There is lot of about MDACIII and WLAN and it's not definitely possible.
mobile2007 - If I am not mistaken, the German version does not come with WLAN, but other versions (Dutch, UK, etc...) may come with it.

I have the MDA III on T-mobile UK, it does not have wifi. I was offered the MDA Mail (HTC Excalibur) and once again T-mobile sell the device with wifi removed !!
I think only T-Mobile Netherlands sell their MDA Compact III With WIFI, therefor its an Artemis, whereas T-Mobile UK and Germany sells HTC Hero
