Thought BA owners considering 'upgrading' to the Kaiser (TyTN II / MDA Vario III) may appreciate my experiences:
- No unlock generally available (yet) if you buy a branded version;
- No infrared port (well the OS has an option to "receive incoming beams", but I can't find one it);
- No dedicated earphone jack;
- Impossible to use dual-sim adapter (yet?);
- Need to upgrade to ActiveSync 4.5 and Lotus EasySync Pro 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 to sync WM6 Calendar / Contacts with Lotus Notes. IBM currently charging over £50 ukp for 4.2.5 if you don't have a corporate licence;
- A pain to sync with Vista; and
- Really fiddly set of key-presses to start composing an SMS.
Maybe I should have called this post "Things I miss about my BA"?
Back to the BA.
I know man I went from the BA/SX66 to the imate KJAM, to the TMo MDA, to the Cingular 8525. Then was considering the Universal. But when I just happened to cruise these BA forums and saw that the Helmi WM6 ROM was out. Loaded it to the SX66 and I was jakked! WM6 on the Large Screen. The other Devices were no longer a quantum leap ahead. My SX66 was worn out which is what started my search for a replacement. I've found it! The O2 XDA IIs with Helmi's WM6 and Xsplodes Touch cabs. A Masterpiece!

What a fantastic site. The pda is so incredibly clever and on the i-mate site I have recently upgraded the rom version which includes a radio upgrade.
Can anyone explain if it will be possible to upgrade the telephone to have the voice activated facility that allows you to speak in to a bluetooth handsfree kit and set up a unique number to get the telephone to dial automatically ?
I know that in Canada and the USA Microsoft have a new ?? [not really new now] product called Voice Command which I can't wait for which will allow you to do all kinds of amazing things with the telephone, the appointments and other parts of the pda which will make it much safer to use on the road.
The only poor part of the upgrade from i-mate [i-mate.com] is I am sure that the Bluetooth Navman 4100 GPS unit and the GPS TomTom3 software are 'hanging' more often which is annoying - any suggestions please ?
Than you for an excellent site.

I was using MS Voice Command on my iMate PPC Phone edition. It wasn't a very happy marriage. My iMate would hang to the point where it needed a hard reset about once every or every other week. After a call to iMate tech support and removing the MS Voice Command as suggested, my iMate is much much more stable. Prior to using MS Voice Command with the iMate, I was using it with a T-Mobile PPC Phone Edition. It worked flawlessly. So based on that and other similar experiences (SimCity2000 worked on the t-mo device but not on the iMate) I can't help but suspect the iMate for not being terribly compatible with several different software titles.
Thanks for your information about the voice command - really sad to hear the i-mate doesn't work with it - I won't buy it !
Kind regards
Vito
Why don't you try Vito Voice Dialer PE ?
Guys what are you talking about !! Can't you see that everyone of you is using different ROM!!! But the hardware is still the same !! HIMALAYA.
Imate,XDA2,T-Mobile MDA2,Qtek2020... has the same hardware!
Microsoft Voice Command works with WM2003. It is good as long as the quantity of contacts you have is limited. In larger quantities, confusion starts! (besides the fact that you have to pronounce the names in a typical american accent)
Vito Voice Dialer has 2 different phone edition versions (one for XDA and one for XDAII). Each number has to be trained, but then you can use nicknames and aliases, and it works.
Hi all,
I have blue&me in my car and hermes with WM6.
Everything works fine except sms reader. Simply when I receive an sms nothing happened. On display there is no information that new message arrive.
Can I install some software on my hermes to by ably use this functionality ??
M.Thanks.
blue&me + sms reader
i have to blue&me (fiat bravo), and sms reader doesn't work with Windows Mobile.
I try with HTC Wizard (WM5), now i'm using HTC Diamond (ERA (polish t-mobile) edition), and sms reader still not works. Jetwaremobile is not resolving problem.
All others function works fine with wizard and diamond.
XDA Diamond O2 Rom - No Messagereading function - its a Blame! Blue and Me Based on Windows CE
I'm guessing that they are using some sort of "standard" for the blue and me sms.
A couple of my really old nokia flip phones would pair with my Mac, and it would read and send sms messages just fine. But on a later Nokia, my Hermes, and even my Blackjack, it no longer works because the phones handle the messages in a different way.
As far as I know, there is no way to make it work.
Same was with m dear old Palm TT. SMSes works with the mervelous Nokia 6310i but with the newer phones they dont.

Hello,
The same with my HTC Diamond2... its a shame...
And i'm nuts not to find a solution for that...
Im sure that its easy to find an answer but the big boss here arent interested for that..
So pity
Anyone found a solution?
It would be great..
Yes I'd like to know why it doesn't work too. Over on the Alfa and Fiat forums the only phones that seem to work with the message reader are sony ericson... Oh and I also found the SMS reader worked with an old Motorola V3X. I was hoping it might work with WM 6.5 but no go
Hi there,
this is my first post on this wonderful forum.
I am new in windows mobile PdaPhone, I bought a P3600 2 weeks ago an I immediately upgraded to Udk 4 WM6 cooked rom.
Before, I've always had Nokia Smartphone devices, my last was Nokia E61.
I am almost sure (even if it is too early to be convinced) that Nokia serie E devices (E61, E60, E90, and N95, too) are better than Windows Mobile PdaPhone . They can be used with ease, are faster, more resistant (nokia e61 has a nice and resistant silver alluminium case) and are ready to surf the web with an integrated Nokia WebBrowser that allows users to go to web pages better than with Pocket IE,Opera,Netfront,Minimo.
But the most important feature I miss, is Nokia Serie E Integrated Voip. In fact, I could Voip Call anyone (with operators I chose) simply clicking "Internet call".
Voip quality was great, and even if I had Fring installed, I've never used it, because of the better quality of Nokia Voip.
I can't have, in my new HTC P3600 a full working Voip module, and also Fring hasn't the quality it had in my Nokia.
Has anyone got any suggestions to solve my Voip problems with Trinity?
I wait for a hint...
I am sorry for my English, I am Italian, and I haven't been writing in English for years..
Good Bye

Still nothing
I followed the instructions, and I can see neither the shadow of Voip in mine HTC Trinity.
Voip is a too big word for Windows Mobile Devices, yet.
I want my E61 back...
Thanks to this excellent forum I have managed to improve my Orbit / HTC 3300 and
Upgrade to WM6 (using O2's ROM image)
Enable/Install Dial Up Networking through Bluetooth
What I would like to do now is fully connect to my shiny new TomTom 720. I can get the Handsfree and Wireless data working, but it won't recognise my SMS inbox nor allow me to access the messages.
TomTom has hopeless documentation and M$ aren't much better.
Is it possible?
How can I do it?
I'm sure someone out there can help (and I'd be very grateful!)
Cheers,

I just bought my htc p3600i preloaded with WM6 yesterday. I intent to use this device as my pda and data device only, while I am having another phone, i.e nokia 8800 black as my talking phone (1st phone).
Well, probably i am not quite 'alone' using 2 phones together with me all the time, but I feel that it is so convenient that way, talking only using my 1st phone (nokia 8800) while the pda (htc p3600i) was used only to take notes, appointments, accessing the web, downloading my e-mail and I am enjoyed using my 3rd party sms software (Simple SMS v5) which was installed in the pda to send and receive sms via my 1st phone, nokia 8800 through bluetooth connection. I usually left my pda togeher with my working headache on sunday, and just bring my handphone, which makes me happier having it that way.
My problem is, since i bought the htc p3600i yesterday, I couldn't use my pda to send and receive sms via bluetooth through my 1st phone anymore, just like using my previous Asus P535 running WM5. I realise that there is not much 'Bluetooth Serial Port' services shown in any of its communication port anymore, not like the previous Asus P535 having WM5, while connecting and pairing it to my nokia phone. The only bluetooth service available on my new pda was 'Serial Port' and 'Dialup Networking', compare to 'Com 1' on my previous WM5 device.
Could somebody help me on my silly problem that I have, before I drop a bricks on my new pda, and start telling me what to do next. I got a feeling that the WM6 doesn't allow the connection anymore, rather than the device is not compatible due to some reason. Or, shall I downgrade my device back to WM5, but how?
I feel that the technology is changing TOO fast, without letting me make any savings to purchase another new device.
Thank you fella.
Hmmm..very sad that nobody have answered my question..
Until I finally found myself the answer, HTC Trinity Plus (p3600i) is using 'Microsoft Bluetooth Stack', comparing to my previous device using 'Widcomm Bluetooth Stack'..
But where can I found Widcomm Bluetooth Stack which is compatible with HTC Trinity Plus (HTC P3600i) running WM6 to hack MS Bluetooth Stack?
