I just purchased an SPV M1500. Is this the same as the XDA IIi? I bought it already unlocked. Are there any differences in the ROM besides splash screens / logos? Is there a way to put the O2 XDA IIi ROM on this device?
Last question... I bought it from someone in the UK, and I live in the US, I currently subscribe to Cingular Wireless. Has anyone had issues with this?
Any reply would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brock
Same device, slightly different looks.
All Alpine ROMs will work and the splash images etc can all be changed, at ROM upgrade or later. Find a ROM you want and follow instructions.
The device is tri-band so long as you live in an area where you don't need quad band you'll be OK.
Any more questions, there are plenty of people here to ask, just don't ask the dreaded WM5 question, the answer will be NO.
Good luck.
LOL!! I got that loud and clear. I thought people were supposed to be reading through the forum for their answer before posting stupid/redundant questions??? NO WM5, at least yet. I don't have a desire for that right now anyways. What would be the benefit?
The earth is so small. You know what, you have bought the phone from me on ebay, Brock Miller. Have you received the phone yet? I could give you help on upgrading the phone, if you needed it. At the moment, if you wanted the latest rom, then it is imate PDA2 ROM.
Nam? Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe you frequent this site as well? Wow... Thats cool. It is indeed a small world. No I haven't received the SPV-1500 yet, I was just asking a few questions about it before hand. I can't wait to get it though. I'll drop you an e-mail when it comes in. Have a good one!
It's nice to meet you here as well. The phone will arrive very soon. Keep the eyes on your work place, you will need to sign for it. Give me a sound when you need helps and have fun with the phone.
Yes! It was.
Will I personally have to sign for it? Or can my shipping department sign for it?
Also, what phone do you have now?
as long as you could arrange someone to sign for it, then that's fine. I think I just buy a cheap phone for now, untill the new HTC Muse comes out. This would be the best phone ever.
Except for the 4GB of storage, and the camera it looks like the HTC Universal has better specs. Why the muse? I really would have liked to have bought an HTC Universal, but I couldn't find any that were reasonably priced, .
Simply, because it is very compact, has everything that I wanted. I originally had the VPA compact which is HTC Magician, but it doesn't have wifi built in that why I sold it. I also did have HTC Universal ( SPV M5000 ) once and I do not advice you to get one. No only because of the price ( I got it for £250 ), it is also very very slow ( before buy it, I thought it would be very fast, but it's not, even slower than HTC wizard ) and bloody massive. I had it for one day and sold it the next day, you can imagine how dissapointed I was.
The only good thing about the HTC Universal is the infrared transfer speed ( 4mb/s ) and range ( 7 metres ) which is good for TV remote control softwares. However, that is not good enough for the price.
Wow, that would be very diappointing. What did you not like about the HTC Alpine? Too bulky also?
The HTC Alpine is not as big as the HTC Universal and HTC Blue Angle ( actually it is quite compact for such a powerful device ), has wifi built in, powerful processor ( don't be confused with the Intel PXA 270 520MHZ of HTC Universal, it is Intel PXA 272 520MHZ ) and better bluetooth than other HTC device ( support file transfer service and more ). The only thing that I do not like about it is that the infared range is too short ( 70 cm ) for Remote control programs which is the same on other HTC devices, except for the HTC Universal ( 7 metres ) and HTC magian ( 3 metres ) ( that's why I sold it ). But if you can live with it, then the HTC Alpine is the best Mobile Phone/Pocket PC to have at the moment in term of features and price.
I just received the SPV M1500!! Even though you tried, the power adapters that you sent were the wrong kind. The U.S. uses 110 V. Also, all looks ok, but it showed more wear than I thought it would. There was a scratch on the screen, a tiny crack just above the "joystick" hole, and the external antenna port hole cap is missing (not a huge deal, just doesn't look as good with out it). Do you know if TomTom has a US map available to buy?
As my description the phone is used. I am so sorry, if it dissapointed you. TOMTOM and USA map are already included on the DVD, just follow the installation guide that is also in the in the box. Let me know anything that I could help you with. I will try to find the cover at the back for you, if I could not find it, then I would refund you some money, so you could get a new silicon case for it. Really sorry.
No way!! No this is fine. Its still a very nice phone. If you can find the cover, that would be nice, but I don't expect a refund by any means. I still got a good price. I need to find an AC adapter for this cradle though. I imagine that won't be too hard to come by, I just hope it doesn't cost too terribly much. Thanks again for the phone. I am overall pleased. It is so much better than my Wallaby. Also, I can charge it in the wallaby cradle for now. I was lucky, it fits, not quite right, but good enough. Thanks again. Also, I see where there is indeed USA maps with TomTom included. Sorry about that.
Brock
Or can I just send you some softwares in return? Just name the softwares, I will find them for you. I am now selling some softwares for pocket pc on ebay, just take a look, if you like them, let me know I will send them to you. Also I just find out that if you installed Imate PDA2 ROM UPDATE, the infrared range will be incresed to about 3 metres. If you was not so sure how to install ROM UPDATE, let me know, I will give you the web link with installation guide.
Hello Coldwave

All HTC Alpine devices have the same hardwares. Therefore, it is possible to change ROM between different made like Imate, Qtek, Orange, etc. However, you must follow some steps to avoid Country ID error.
Today I picked up a brand new MDA Vario III as the one I had became water damaged. This phone is brand new and has not even be switched on. I don't want the MDA Vario III anymore as I've decided that Pocket PC's are not my thing.

Thank you Jimmy.
I am aware about the Cuboosh scandal that occured not too long ago. I however, am not like him but am a genuine owner of a MDA Vario 3 which I want to get rid of as I can't cope with a Windows mobile device.
As mentioned, if anyone is willing to purchase it and lives in the UK (preferably London) then I'm willing to meet face to face which is what I prefer.
Just to add, the price is pretty good considering the numerous accesories that come with it- no cases or headphones need to be purchased. Moreover, the phone is literally untouched as I've recently claimed from Fonsesafe insurance as my old MDA Vario III became water damaged.
Oh, and moderators- sorry for hogging the boards with my ad but I really want to sell this phone

Personally, I have no issue with this. However, that being said, I think you might be better off with the likes of ebay. I think members here are now a little on the shy side now thanks to the fiasco that you mentioned. Good Luck.
BTW, thank you Jimmy for the disclaimer.

I'll be setting up ebay shortly so I'll have a crack at that as well! But the offer still stands!
Thanks for the good luck!
The price has now been reduced to £290!

So recently (as detailed in another post) my Tilt's USB port died, so I did a warranty swap and just got a new one.
However, I'm soon moving to an area without 3G and so the device has become significantly less appealing. So I figured before listing it on eBay, I'd offer it up here.
The details, it's an AT&T Tilt 8925 (the model WITH camera). It has the new style USB port (the one that doesn't break ) and is a refurbished unit from AT&T, but is in like-new condition. (There are no blemishes/scratches/anything to be seen).
The battery cover is mine (AT&T doesn't replace that with warranty swaps) and does have a crack in the plastic camera protector, but it is not in the camera's vision, so it's purely a cosmetic thing. I'm sure you can easily find new backplates if it bothers you.
I also have all the original accessories/manual which have never been touched (the charger/USB cable are still in their plastic pouches in the original box) as well as a 3rd-party car charger. There is also an unused screen protector that AT&T includes with every unit.
As far as payment goes, it's going to have to be through PayPal since it is (sadly) the only (moderately) reputable method of managing payments. I'll ship it anywhere, but you'll have to pay for the shipping (coming from Dallas, TX, USA).
If anyone wants pictures (it looks like like any other Tilt though...) or any info ask.
Mods: I checked the rules displayed when signing up and it says nothing against listing items FS, nor does the rules thread in the general forum, and I did a search and found several other people selling items with no complaints, so I'm assuming it's okay. Also, I'm posting it here since there isn't a marketplace forum. I figured someone has to have broken their Kaiser and is in need of a new one
Oh, and I haven't so much as powered the device on, so it's still running the AT&T firmware with AT&T SPL.
And my battery is in good condition, I regularly get 2 days of light usage out of it (and it could go further, but I generally charge it so that it doesn't...ya know...randomly die on me)
And how much are you asking for this Tilt..?
yeah im curious about your asking price too

Wait? What!?!?!?! There is a tilt with 2 cameras?!?!?! Or are you just referring to the normal AT&T Tilt. The no camera is only available to businesses.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the fact that it's an 8925, not the 8900. That's the AT&T model without any camera at all. No front camera on either model.
Sorry, been neglecting my own thread
I was referring to the fact that it has the standard 3MP camera on the back. I was just trying to clarify that because I've seen a lot of scams involving the swapping of the two models.
Oh, I have a 2GB microSD card that you can have because I don't have any other devices that use microSD. (It has one of those little microSD-->SD adapters and a plastic case that holds both)
Also, yeah, I'm an idiot and forgot to give a price. For the phone, original wall charger, original sync cable, OEM car charger, and 2GB microSD I think $300 is fair.
PM me if you're interested.
Hey, my eternal search for a new phone has finally brought me here. Anyway, i've got an offer of a (used, unlocked) HTC Diamond for £115 delivered. Should i go for it? Seems in reasonably good nick:
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1089.jpg
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1092.jpg
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/v88p/DSCF1094.jpg
and it comes with Tomtom Europe. Although a new T-Mobile Pulse (3.5" Android phone, a few 'corners cut' if you know what i mean) is only £150 and a TG01 (4.1" WinMo Snapdragon device) is £160. Then you start getting onto stuff like a used Magic or a new HTC Tattoo or Touch2 but they're not really the best value for money.
So what do you think, Diamond or other? Cheers.
help
there are a few things to be careful of with the diamond problems that you may not notice until you have used it for a while
1. camera often breaks just don't load sometimes
2. they develop battery problems drains way to fast
3. wifi connection problems
if you can use the phone for a day or 2 before buying it would help
ps. has it got the original charger???????
It's on Amazon marketplace so i can't really use it before hand... the actual product description is:
Unlocked, boxed, general wear and tear, phone in good working order. Comes with tomtom europe pre-installed, original charger, in car charger, car windscreen mount, 3.5 headphones adaptor, usb battery charger.

Hey all.
I've gone to WP7 (Focus, really liking it) and I'll be departing with my two Tilts.
Both unlocked
Heavily used (most soft keys have the icons gone, banged up, nothing missing). One has a cracked screen but is still usable)
Both running WM 6.5 OS from XDA (cracked screen one running Phoenix 3.1, other running KaiserTouch; both WWE)
Accessories include :
Charging cradle
Four batteries - 2 1350, 2 1600mAh
USB/mini USB cable
3 AC chargers, 1 car charger
2 microUSB/headphone adapters
1 3-in-one adapter (pretty cool item)
Extra back plate (not the best, but ya get an extra one...)
If anyone's interested, send me a PM.
SBJ
you should try posting this in the marketplace for better results as asking someone here would already own one....
