I am a newbie to the forum, so please forgive me if I screw up (at least once!) I just purchased the Seimanns (sp) SX-66, carrier is Cingular, and it should be here next week. My son has a Black O2 with the camera. He says he cannot get his Jabra 250 to connect up, and I am fearing the same problem. Any suggestions from anyone?
Many thanks and hope all of you have a great Holiday Season (for those of you who DON'T celebrate any holidays this time of year, have a great month!!)

What these companies are doing is DIRTY.
They clearly have the potential to release the new OS for almost ALL modern pocket PCs, but since they don't see any profit in it, they will never release it.
I could accept this, IF they stopped dangling the OS on Blue Angels for all of us to see.
wm5
after you make us so hungry for this wm5 on ba could you help us to get it
why all the secret
What about a petition that we ARE even willing to pay for an BA WM5 upgrade?...
They can't charge enough for a WM2005 upgrade that would be better for them than forcing us to buy new phones.
They won't do it.
id be willing to pay 100 us dollars for an upgrade to each of my BA and Alpine..
So would I actually, but it doesn't compare to the $1000 dollars they will likely get from us all techno-nuts who very well may indeed upgrade.
im emaling him for the rom
He obviously won't give it out readily. Microsoft entrusted it to him. Anyone on their A-list would be stupid to do anything to break that trust.
im desperate
maybe someone can dump the rom without his knowledge using the sd card rom dumper... that wod be cool..and he wont be breaking any VOWS to microsoft either....
Maybe he could "accedentally" get hacked. :twisted:
Hope for the best, expect the worse

I have an Ipaq 5550. The same happened with HP when wm2k3SE came out. Petitions, news coverage and all. HP prefered the short term view of selling more devices rather than cultivating customer loyalty.
That was my first and last Ipaq. I have Himalaya and BA now...
Just think of the risk/benefit ratio for MS...
We know that ASA official wm2k5 would be released for BA & Himalaya , it would be made largely available by third party means...
I'm not bringing "morality" issues in the plate here. I just say that business-wise, the effort to put that in place compared to the benefits is pretty low... Especially if you compare that to the benefits of a "no-release" scenario: you will ALWAYS end-up paying for the license when you feel BA/Himalaya and all the rest becomes obsolete and you will replace your HW. 3G is not so far away, is it? 3G + BT + 802.11A/G is not so far away either...
Nobody likes it. I don't like it. But in the end, that's the most likely.
As they say: hope for the best, expect the worse!
My 2 "unfortunate" cents,
Hal.
PS: That's why Buzz, toenailed, TheLastOne, XDAjojo, MDAIIIUser and all others efforts as so invaluable!!! Keep the good work: you know how much it is being appreciated by the rest of us.

[quote="joey jojo.......... i would never pay for WM2005, as good as it looks, if/when it comes out, ill just get it for free @ XDAdevelopers, lol[/quote]
how would you do that?? unless its released for BA and jam and xda2i ..you cant just make it work on other devices.. take example from the himalaya rom we have unless you have himalaya you cant use it..
thus.. if its never ever released for other htc models you can NEVER EVER get it for other devices... reason being a simple one.. different hardware,different memory allocation and management and different bootloaders etc..
if you dont believe me just try flashing your device with the win2k5 rom and end up with a very expensive paperweight ...
Honestly, I have no problem supporting and paying for proper service and upgrades. As well as the work Microsoft put into the development of the new OS, which from what I've heard, is a significant positive step.
I guess part of the reason that they aren't releasing it, even at cost, is exactly in response to people like you, joey jojo, who would just pirate it instead of paying. The way I figure it, alot of people with these expensive fancy devices know their way around technology, and a significant part will know how to get WM2005 for free, avoiding the costs.
Providing an OS upgrade for these devices at a cost would never work. These companies aren't exactly stupid.
I think it isn't meant to be released at all yet, really.
I think the "release" was to developers first, and soon enough you will see a hoarde of new devices, as well as a new ROM for ours.
Here's another proof, by the way:
http://blogs.technet.com/exchange/archive/2005/06/06/405993.aspx
The head of the MS Exchange team uses a Blue Angel...with Exchange SP2. To get full functionality, I guarantee he is running SP2.
They aren't using the BA as a development platform only to dump it. They are just waiting til key things (like Exchange SP2) come into place.

I'm wondering if it is possible in the near future to held a grand eyeball for all xda-dev members? lol Now we get to see in person those who cooked ROMs for us, those senior members who bully us when we used to be a noob, those sarcastic members, those kind ones..hehe...and our French guys will be our host and it will be in France and it will flood with wine..beers..pasta..american dishes, asian dishes, all the dishes there is...and I get to see xplode, sun_dream, helmi_c, greatbal, egzthunder1, oldsap, and all my idols here and we get to show off our HTC phones..wehehehe hahaha lol...hmmmmm I will definitely attend that party no matter what. Before I get old and forget about everything I want to meet you guys..heheh..lol..oh man!
This actually would be a great great idea!
hard to acomplish because distances, work, and money issues
But that would be AN UNPRECEDENT EVENT IN THE WHOLE WWW!!!
First point to discuss:
1.- Where?
I have some miles acumulated on my JAL account and willing to use them for this cause!
If ever gets real...
Yep, this might be hard to accomplish and might take years before it happens. But you'll never know. I want to see xplode in person before he explodes!!! LOL I want to see sun_dream before M$ put him behind bars (LOL sun, just jokin, peace bro! You know I luv ya...) And this would be one of a heck grand as in GRAND eyeball! Some from US, some from UK, some from Philippines, from Bulgaria, from mexico from Australia, from China, from Malaysia, from India, from Japan (hey bring some sushi..) from Italy, from Germany, from around the world in one place.

I think with those atractives nobody will refuse to go Amsterdam! (Never been there)
An oh..of course that was the creation place, so now number 2 on the list:
2. When?
When? That my friend we don't know...
Hello all,
I am in the hospitality business and organise events for a number of blue chips – in short my company is the best in the business.
I get good rates on hotels, restaurants and have excellent connections for all things conference throughout Europe. So if Italy, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Uk or Ireland is a possible venue for the proposed event, I will be happy to get involved. I am a big fan of XDA.
Work is on going on our website just now so I am aware that a number of pages need updating... its in the hands of the HTML engineer... link in my signature if ya wanna have a look at what we do.
Best,
J
This would be pretty cool however i've never seen it work out in any other forum. I think the best thing to do would be to create a poll and see where most people are located. Say there's a bundle in California, then we could have one in LA or some place close to all Californians. Same thing for other states, countries, even cities, etc. We could then all share our experiences. As for me, i'm in Southern California, hence the reason i used it
More or less this event might take place in the US or somewhere in Europe...only few asian are here...
It is a nice idea. Make it a convention and invite some guest speakers to show off the future of mobile devices, have reps from HTC and others perhaps like Sony, Motorola, Nokia, Jabra, etc... showing off newest gadgets and gear - Workshop seminars and stuff like that. It could be a fun time to meet some of our members in person, talk, show off our devices and envy the other person's device and a good learning opportunity as well.

it won't be an eyeball anymore. It will look like a convention, a meeting, etc. And that will be boring because everyone should be formal. Just an "ORDINARY' but "GRANDacious" eyeball.. exclusively fro XDA-DEV members and if you like we can invite M$ as our guest speaker..LOL
Just a regular GRAND EYEBALL, just to meet each and everyone here at XDA-DEV. No paper works, no signing up just beer and phones and girls too...

Agree with the poll
Starting form there we can see how many would like to attend and where most people is located
But I must say that I agree with Daveshaw that the best place should be where all this started: Amsterdam!
So who is going to create the poll?
Yeah, Amsterdam would be great! And there will be raffle promos and HTC Devices giveaways courtesy of all xda-dev's moderators and admins... Come one let's make this happen.
Great poll!
LOL
Last option looks pretty cool!
hehehe if that last option wins...you got to pay my expenses going to your place!

just a cent from a newbee, i hope this great idea will happen sooner...
i agree however that safety, next of course to resources, is definitely the issue needed to be considered by anyone else. but who's safe nowadays? i dont think there's a better place than our own abode (just be sure our better half is out.. lol)..
a little clarification though about Philippines vis a vis Abu Sayaff (ASG). ASG concentrates mostly in northern part of Mindanao and now being relentlessly pursued. on the otherhand, there are great places in the Philippines particularly in Luzon & Visayas, although as i've said cant be considered safer that our homes. But on the brighter side, your 1$ to Php47.++ is quite noteworthy of consideration.... more than double the fun i guess
Btw, considering the "safety" issue as quoted, i voted for the last option (peace orb...)
cheers...

Pls don't flame me for this thread, it's just that I have noticed that not many people are visiting the Topaz forums on this site (especially compared to the diamond) I am wondering whether this is because there is low interest in the device. Views?
Perhaps it's because it's only just come out and not many people have one yet?

yepp
for example, in romania, it just arrived yesterday
It would be a shame if this phone doesn't get a lot of attention.
It's a great device ... i love it !
I would like to see a weekly calendar in touchflo though.
guys, with christonge, pietrucci, l3v5y, udk and many other on the board already, while the device is not released everywhere, we allready have a good population down here. No only the SPl tweakers, and then we're ready to go en **** up our devices...
Dont worry, we'll have a cool community here soon!
This device has great potential, and everybody i spoke, finds this device better than the original diamond.
Gr. Bram
Interesting comments, I also think the TD2 is a very worthy successor to the TD1, hopefully more devs will det interested soon and we can start to fully exploit this thing!

Sold out in several big online smartphone retailers, price raise recently (guess it's supply and demand)...
Also, the diamond has been available from the networks for ages, and the TD2 isn't yet (around here anyway) so cost's £400 or you can wait and get it for much less on your phone network.
HardSPL isn't out yet, meaning people can't flash custom roms yet..
Trust me, this will be at least as popular as the diamond, just wait a few months.

Pshh this phone is nearly sold out everywhere online. I'm Glad Clove got some more in and mine should be here in 2 days time. Next delivey they receive is May10th this would be second time they ran out. I'm sure the TD1 had a slow start as well till more people got their hands on it. Also remember the TD1 is 1 year old and established on many networks around the world.
Also take a look at the TP2 section. There is nealy nothing going on there yet as the phone hasn't been released. Not sure about everywhere else in the world but here in the US the TP2 is all the rave. That's all the reviews keep mentioning and the phone they hope carriers here get. I pesonally think the TD2 is a lot nicer than the P2. Here people don't know how to use a Soft keyboard and would rather have a thicker phone and have a hard keyboard.
It has barely just come out, and it hasn't come out at all in the US. If it is released in the States, this place will be full.
I just got mine. Trust me, it will be popular.
With over 526 visits to this thread already . No don't think so
touch pro 2 will be more popular. Mark my words
well, a month ago I bought Blackstone, and I feel good )
and as thankful user I would like to donate my Himalaya to somebody of developers on this site. I hope it will help to build more good and stable roms.
Himalaya (originally it's I-mate / Qteck) fully working, it comes with additional battery, earphones, cradle and leathercase. maybe something more, I don't remember already.
touch screen of the device is burst in several places, but is still working. for development use you don't have to replace it.
that's all about it.
now how to get? I live in Israel, so you pay only shipping or in a month I'm gonna visit Germany(Nurnberg) and I can take it with me.
btw: I do not speak english very well, so sorry
Yes i have to new Hima
My suggestion is to send Master Ather90 the Hima. He's a little older than 18 and his last Hima is broken. So he left our forum and switched to another. He was one of our most activ developers and reacht moderator status. The problem for you might be his place, as he lives in Bahrain, but fro Germany it is no problem to send via DHL as a gift, with custom declaration. As the device is worth aproximately 50€, it is possible that he has to pay a small amont of tax.
I think, a lot of people miss him and his work, so you would do us a big favoir.
Very good Idea.....

I havent gone anywhere, im still here its just that i have my Final Exams this month, i'll be finished on 23rd and then im on the heat
also, on 10th June i celebrate my 19th Birthday and i would love to have the Himalaya
yeah, the truth is that I would like to give it to ather90. I used one of his rom and liked it.
so be it.
shipping may be the problem for me. so I can take it to germany, I will stay there for a couple of weeks (17-30 june) and everyone is welcome to come and to transfer it to ather90.
That is great, you're the man of the day, Kap60HaT!
I wanted to send my own secundary Xda to ather but then I got in trouble with the Qtek I used the other day. So I have got the information to send a gift from Germany to Bahrain via DHL. I can send you the customs declaration too. It's some where around here . I will ask for the shipping asap, maybe you can send it from Nürnberg to ather90. If it is a prob for an israelian guy to send to the middle east, you have to post it to me if noone else could visit you, because I live ca. 500km to the north west.
We will get this job done, I'm sure.
great, really appreiciated Kap6oHaT
tell me once you are there and i'll let you know my address
from Israel there's no post service to Bahrain. and on Deutsche Post site, I saw it's about 14-15 euro, so there will be no problem.
I will need an exact address. you may pm me.
good news all, im back
just got the news from home that my device is there, soon i'll start cooking (once im dont with my eye opt.)
Cool, Kap6oHaT +1 !
Ather
Congr8z brother and gud heart that person have who sent it to you. looking forward for good cooked roms for himalaya by you.
