new to Forums (new to O2, new to PDA)

Hi All,
I have been a blackberry user for years and love its simplicity but was given an O2 XDA II Mini but its in Chinese - would like to ask what my options are - can I flash it to be in English? My blackberry is Tmobile so I can grab a SIM card from there to test.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Confused i am

hi all
I am a bit confused ( dont take much these days) is the HTC TYTN II the Kaiser, as they look very similar and when i google it thats what i find..
also as anyone got one recently from t-mobile as i am due a upgrade and how much did they pay for it.
Cheers for the help
Neel

Yes the Kaiser was renamed the TyTN II. Not sure about your second question.

HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTn II / T-Mobile Vario III = all the same thing
(except the Vario looks cheap and nasty)

T-Mobile is a worldwide company and people from across that world read this forum. Which T-mobile are you talking about?

I'm referring to the UK variant.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but at the OP.

i am in the UK

As far as I know Kaiser is/was the name given by HTC during the development of the device. It is now sold as the HTC Tytn II. TMobile UK are selling/will be selling this as the MDAvario III. Vodaphone UK will also carry this device as V165 or something similar.All of these devices are manufactured by HTC. Most providers will have their own customised ROM installed. Currently we are unable to CID unlock these devices and so we are stuck with default provider ROMs. Eventually I am sure Pof or some other genius on here will work out how to CID unlock them and then the fun begins with our own customised ROMs.

Yep they are all Kaisers = generic name for all of them
TyTn II is the one sold under the HTC name and then as said above you have all the other variants as well.

Model name question...

Hi
Before I start posting for real I just want to double check that this is the correct section for my device. I bought it as a HTC TyTN II on the Orange network in the UK. I'm really confused by all the names these can be called by so if someone can confirm I'm in the right place that would be great...someone said I have a Hermes but the picture doesn't look quite right! Would it be a good idea to include as many of the various names on the forum index as poss?
Thanks

A TyTN II is a kaiser one, not a hermes. Hermes is the first TyTN

Look at the pictures

Great thanks for that - I tried a search on the general site for 'model list' but didn't find that page,
Thanks again - now all is clearer...

The Kaiser comes under a plethora of different names:
HTC TyTn II
T-Mobile MDA Vario III
AT&T Tilt (Pretty much the same without the front camera)
Vodafone v1615
O2 XDA Stellar (There are rumours that this has an FM radio built in but the O2 UK stores and website deny this)

Diamond and Touch Pro out on O2 UK when?

I have called them a few times and they have nothing on their product sheet for either of them. Does anyone have any other info to hand?

Can't tell you for the UK, but today the "O2 XDA Diamond" and the "O2 XDA Diamond Pro" variant was announced in Germany.
The "XDA Diamond" is already in stock, the "XDA Diamond Pro" is announced for late summer 2008 in Germany.
I guess the release date in the UK should not differ that much.

I am waiting for the O2 variant as well.
So far as I can tell it does not have the "diamond" back, which I think looks a bit rubbish!
Also, O2 have bundled Co-pilot SatNav with the O2 Orbits i and ii so I hope they will do similar with the XDA Diamond

I have ordered an unbranded one to replace my Tytn II. Don't wanna wait for O2 UK to release it, I did that with my Tytn II and they were far to slow. It was months after they released it in Germany. By the time I got it I felt like it wasn't new anymore. I'll get the Touch Pro as soon at it is released now, which will be middle of August - start of September.

don't know about O2, but the HTC branded Pro should be out sometime next month.
UK, Italy and Netherlands are supposed to get it first according to HTC helpline.

I know this iss an old thead but its out now on on my desk.

(and remember it's a one way upgrade, no turning back... I wished that i didn't upgrade my phone because it is much slower)

But T-mobile site no more provide support to this model!
