This is where it all began, a rumour.

No more than 5 years back...
and now..We are running Windows Mobile 6.1
for a device for which WM2003SE wasent even officially released
Salute to Himalaya's ( i mean the deice )
Not only 6.1 but with a choice of touch and cube interfaces and programs.
I'm sorry for all those people who just buy an expensive WM6.x device, who simply use it with the standard software, who still constantly need their stylus and who will never find out what they really bought.
I pitty those who still run WM2003 much more...
well....i still got two himalaya
hmmm 2 Hima..thanks to that theif i havent a single
Ather, watch your language in the presence of a lady and a moderator! Please replace that word? BTW I don't know what happened to your Hima?
lol im sorry....edited my post me lady
to me an xda 2 is very cool.
it's my first touchscreen based windows mobile phone.
my first windows mobile phone was a samsung sgh-i300 (I still own it but I don't know where it is, I think on my desktop somewhere)
I came from my first mobile phone for about 10 years to my second one, 4 years later, a sharp... and 2 years later it was a nokia n-gage qd. then half a year later a nokia 9300.. then a nokia n90. then my windows mobile based samsung, half a year later my Sony Ericsson W 810i (don't know why SOny, it was very important to get a new handy soon, because my Samsung was broken at the Samsung Service). Then, just before 2 months, I got my XDA II !!!
I love it. Of course, no hardware-keyboard, no good sound, giant and fat (thats kinda good for me with my big hands )... The screen isn't very bright , but its big. Is it 3 or 3.5" ? Dont know, but it's enough
Thats my story how I came to this xda2. And to me it's like a new device (I mean those Omap CPUs are just the half of this cpu, ram and rom are just okay... sd slot is very good because cheap) so I think it is one of the oldest BUT BEST handhelds ...
hmm if i stated my device history here..i think 2 posts would be enuf
any way yes the xda2 has 3.5" screen..as for the keyboard try using resco full screen kyboard, Touchpal..
u also forgot the camera quality
long live himalaya
ive been using my himalaya for over 2 yrs now, ive seen lot of new pda coming in and coming out, but the style and the functionality of hima can never be beaten, 400 mhz, upgradeable up to 6.5? who knows, by the end of the year, its gonna be upgradeable to windows 7? hahahaha we wish!
unbeatable himalaya
i've bought this at august 2k8.
very satisfied...i choose himalaya based to advice from little brother of XOJ(indonesian ppc community) moderator, he used BA(the legend coz it's the first BA which used 1st HELMI_C wm6(HELMI cooked on that device))&MPX200, and that made me unpatience to have ppc, coz my budget is too low so i decide to bought himalaya for my first ppc and i've never dissapointed.
old hardware but newest software
thanx to all himalaya master who keep himalaya updated
有り難うございます.
(mean thank you in japanese)
happy with himalaya

he athar you must live in the netherlands there are anough hima's.
but go one whit the job and make the hima life for ever.
regards,
Chris
Indeed, Himalaya is now limited edition. Take care your Hima well cuz there is not going to be a new one for a replacement. I'm finding good condition Hima with all equipments and box as well; I only found good condition BA.
Anyway, cheers Himalaya users.
Himalaya is great device have ever built from HTC and only could compare with his successor Blue Angel as well which running smoothly from WM2003 until WM6.5, perhaps MS or HTC also never imagine that this device still exist even they always create their new OS or device. Easy come but difficult to let it go...that's Himalaya.

yup you got that right, they are very limited these days ;/
Unfortunately our hima is showing its age. More and more are getting broken everyday and difficult to find parts. I gave up the ghost on mine (which is actually my wife's who got a newer pda with WM6) about 3 years ago because of a broken charging/usb slot. Can't find anyone who can fix it since the official support shop closed down before it broke. Was just playing with it with its old WM2003 until I found a group of hima users here and I was directed to someone who has the parts and skills to repair it. After that i read through xda-developers and now I have a WM6.5 powered device! How cool is that? Better than my wife's WM6! My only regret is that back then It was easy to find 2nd hand units at low price but never paid attention to it. now I'm trying to find them and they're all gone. Pity.
What I like most about it? The size of the screen. My eyesight is not exactly what it used to be and having that large screen really helps!
Hei..I think it's a good news...
there are a lot of 2nd himalaya @Indonesia,,
and there is 1 shop i've found who claimed can fix the broken usb/pin from himalaya and they said it'll change with the original part of himalaya.
himalaya
hi
Indeed it's impressive to see WM6.5 run smooth on this device, but I wonder what is the advantage of the himalaya over the alpine, on the paper alpine is more powerfull not ? (or I've missed something). and not WM5 or 6 capable ?
Recently i've tryied a game (krally) on the diamond !!! and the speed difference is incredible the same game on himalaya (sun_dream 6.5) is a LOT smoother and faster (I think a vga screen for this size is very useless)
So I am very happy with himalaya thanks to the comunity to keep it alive !!!
i thought i would give up my himalaya, after all, its heavy, its big, the camera is no good, plus my usb connector pins are broken. luckily i was able to upgrade to wm 6.1 before the pins broke.
just before i was gonna give up my old himalaya, i found something that made me keep it. opera mini. although we could have our choice of browsers for this device, opera mini allowed me to use my hima large screen, touch pad to the fullest, i need not say that im experiencing unlimited internet on less than 10pesos prepaid load. thats 25c US cents for limitless surfing.
i may edit this post later but even though i had to buy a separate batt charger for me hima and 2 extra batts, i still love my hima.
Hey guys. I bought a branded Touch Diamond (branded by Vodafone). The graphics on my phone sucked. I already installed a new version of Touchflo3D and so the main screens do already look as great as they should, but Windows is still using the Vodafone-Design and obviously I cannot choose the original HTC design from the list. So could someone upload the original design and tell me what exactly I have to do to get it running (especially where to put it)? I'm quite new to windows mobile devices and I don't want to frag my phone - so I would be grateful for accurate instructions.
And I hope that I'm not posting the same question as billions of others before me. If that's the case: sorry.
Hi,
I had an HTC Hermes/T-Mobile Vario II for a few years and was quite happy with it as a handset.
Then came upgrade time from T-Mobile and I decided to go for a non Windows Mobile based handset. I went for an LG Renoir which is "ok" and has a fantastic 8.0mp camera on it but I have now realised I miss my WM based phone.
I'm looking at getting rid of the Renoir + buying either an HTC Diamond/MDA Compact IV or an HTC Raphael/MDA Vario IV.
Can someone outline the differences between these two handsets please?. I know the Diamond has no expandable memory in the form of SD cards and no slide out QWERTY keyboard but aside from that is there any other difference between it and the Raphael?. Is the Touch Flo interface the same on both handsets?.
In short, aside from the SD card and keyboard, are they essentially the same phones?.
Many thanks for any advice.
Probably best to look at the specs sheets for hardware differences...

http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/specification.html
Don't think there's any other difference in tf3d interface other than the Action Menu (when you slide out the keyboard in tf3d)
Personal opinion: I'm a Diamond user and I can't help but wish that we also got the the extra 96 MB of RAM that TouchPro users enjoy. Glad that Diamond2 users don't have to worry about that versus TouchPro2.
Hi,
Thanks for the info. I've now taken delivery of a Touch Pro and have started playing around with it. My old Vario II was running WM 6 so I'm reasonably familiar with that but I haven't really got much of a clue where to start as far as modding the handset goes. Would like to flash it to the latest ROM for a start I think and go from there.
So thank you for the info and I will now toddle off to the Raphael section of the forums and take it from there!!.
hi guys, im getting a brand new X1 today, and i need some sugestions i have been looking the forums and i have some questions:
i used and iphone for 2 years(i have xperience unlocking and jailbreaking the iphone), then an e71 and a blackberry 8310. this is my first winmo device and im clueless ( i saw a hardslp video).
- manila and tf3d is the same thing?
- what is exactly a hardslp? i understand that before flashing it i need to do that first.
- in order to have TF3D i need to do a full flash? or is just an addon?
- i have seen the winmo 6.5 roms should i upgrade?
- i need pptp suport,RDP client, navite Voip and internet tethering, all this solutions are included?
thx for any help in advance.
Don't get the X1... the X2 and the HTC Touch Pro2 is out.... what are you smoking?
i live in mexico, and i cannot get those phones!
You can get the Touch Pro 2 in Mercado Libre.. I'm from Mexico, and if you can live without D-Pad... Touch Pro 2 is the one for you. (that's the one I will replace my X1 with.. but I love the D-Pad Functionality)
Get the X1, it's a great phone.
And has hardware controls, TP 2 doesn't and it sucks.
As for your questions, what I know:
To have WM 6.5 you need to use custom ROM.
Mind it's unofficial so you know - there can be some bugs and things
nobody knows about...
TF3d is probably an add on.
Me personally - I tried it and for me it's more of a gimmick,
not really functional.
I prefer SE panels.....
But it's personal.
TP2 sucks. TF3D is ugly as hell. WinMo 6.5 is buggy and unofficial.
Get the X1. Install the official R3A ROM, if you are not happy, you can always try a custom ROM. After you are happy with that, you can start hunting for apps.
Don't forget - iPhail is a feature phone at best, but the X1 is a pocket computer.
For the first three question you should read the info in the ROM section of the forum. You have to do some reading and understand it all, before trying to flash. Second hand knowlwdge is as bas as no knowledge.
You can get EVERYTHING you might need with apps, if it is not supported from the box.
lol why do you guys say the TP2 suck?
