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
my 5 hima's working well with thestuf i get here.
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.

Considering a jade, where is the user base and custom roms?

I really like the specs on this phone but without a Hard-SPL and selection of custom ROMS, I don't know if I can justify spending such a large amount of money for something that cannot be fine tuned to my liking with a custom ROM.
Is there really that large of a user base for this device?

Is a very new model. It does fault a bit of time so that there are a lot of users, but sure that early will have them

I think, Jade is still under the shadow of the Diamond, but for me, it is the best PDA from HTC, lightweight, nice and with long battery life... Not only theoreticaly, i've got Cruise, Diamond and Jade now.

Totally in agreement. It is a question of time. I have had Artemis, then Cruise and now Jade. For me, of the three, the Jade is the most complete. But lik it does not commercialize any company of telephony, since it, is late more in are many users...
Yeah, my english is too bad.... sorry

help

Please tell me where i can find htc jade, english rom? or can somebody make it for me?please give me replay!!!

You are right, so far it is the best. I had Universal, Athena, Elfin, Touch Cruise, Opal but it has all i need: Small, Light, Powerful and overall best looking of them all

I am looking at buying either an Elfin or a Jade for Christmas. I really would like the Jade for the faster processer and the higher RAM, but the Elf/Elfin has so much more customizing available. There are a dozen or more custom roms available for the Elfin. How long befoe the cooked roms start coming in for the Jade?

Go get a Viva, its specs is lot lower than Jade. But it runs fast practically with only 210Mhz processor. It is much faster than my Jade, my Cruise, my Trinity, my Elf, my Prophet and .....
I can't give the explanation. My coworker bought a Viva because Jade was almost twice the price. I helped her to install games, utilities and other application programs. It also has 256M ROM/RAM but it ran so much faster than my Jade which has a 528Meg processor. I use SKtools to do all the optimizations and read these forums back and forth to see if I could find anything wrong with any setup with my Jade, my Polaris but no avail. My Trinity ran faster than Cruise and Jade that really puzzled me.

Does anybody know if WM 6.5 and 7 will be available for the Diamond?

Not officially...
If there's an official release I'll eat my device! It's been confirmed Diamond 2 will have an upgrade when 6.5 becomes available, but they're not going to release for our original Diamonds... they want you to buy a nice new device. Ha - fat chance; have they not heard of XDA!!

Yeah, our ROM Cookers will port them when they got hands on a ROM dump! No one can stop them!!!

And the hardware aint that different from the original diamond is it? i mean the proccesors are almost equal. diamond 2 have quite a bit more of ram of course but when you are comparing the overall hardware the diffence isnt that big is it? or am i just misremembering?

[Q] 6.1 apps workin on 6.5 [/Q]

So i love tweaking my xperia. tryng new apps. looking for the best look and feel. as well as having functionality!!

BUT aLas... SE decided that after i payed to have my screen fixed.. (minor burn mark after first week) that my one year parts and labor suddenly is only 3 months.. from time of payment... well my warranty's up... and i couldn't find anyone who would insure my phone...
I'M READY TO FLASH!
and a few questions i thought of...

SPB Mobile Shell 3 & almost WM6.1 apps are working fine on WM6.5

Getting New Xperia Today, need advice.

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?
