.. I have the possbility to buy my friend's 'old' X1 for a cheap price.
However I'm unsure to do this or whether to just buy a whole new phone all together, and if so, what phone would be just as good as the X1?

I would buy X2 in that case,
I see nothing comparable.
If you have less money get X1, but it's better to buy a new one.
The only interesting choice for some reasons could be
HTC HD2....
Just my 2 cents.
mmm the HD2 is so sexy! or u could get the X3 if u can wait!
If you are italian, TIM sell X1 at 199€ only.
It's a great oppurtunity.
The question is not whether you should, but how much it costs.
...and next time get a security program such as GuardMobile. There would at least be a chance of you recovering your phone.

Sorry every1 i posted this in the general section , i had plenty of reads but no advice so im posting it here cos the auction im interested in ends very soon. 'just wanna buy a german kaiser and use it in the uk by flashing it with english rom and using in uk network' u don't have to read the rest just answer me this please. is it possible, thanks guys
hello everyone, im glad to be back! haven't used this forum in well over a year and ive missed it. ive decided to get another ppc. i'm looking at getting the tytn 2 off ebay. basically i want just the most powerful spec ppc. apart from the shift and advantage (cant afford them) this seems the best choice. also i would like a qwerty keyboard although b4 i got by with the spb full keyboard but now i want a qwerty one. if anyone can suggest any other ppc's with a high spec let me know plz. i didn't wanna spend more than a 200 quid but after watching ebay for 3 days it seems i have to.i've got 300 quid but for that i'd like a ppc a decent memory card and some bluetooth stereo headphones such as the sony ones. luckily ive got still got loads software (i.e. tomtom) from b4 but that's from older os'es. the one on ebay is 200 buy it now but its shipped from germany.the whole lisitng is in german but at the bottom is says 'attention int. buyers this phone has german software' surely i can just flash it with an english rom such as dutty's? is that correct?just as i was leaving the forums last time. xda-dev had 2 take all the roms down due to a copyright warning from ms. does this mean i have to cook my own? sounds daunting. basically i just wanna know if this german stellar is gonna b compatible on english nets? and if anyones got any suggestions for another ppc. sorry for posting in the general section, maybe this could have went in a different board but i've got 21 hours or so till the auction ends. thanks guys. glad 2 b bk, gareth
p.s. i've got an almost new orbit with a cracked screen. anyone good at fitting screens, or wanna buy it? or sell me a screen lol. ( i still want a newer ppc though) this is why i left the boards- cracked me screen didnt i lol.
Default cmon ppl
cmon guys sum1 must b able 2 spare me a minute. the auction ends soon. 'can i buy a german kaiser, flash it wiv english rom and use on uk network'
no man. most of the times the device ID does not match along with the carrier rom of other operators. so if your device is german operator specific, i dont think it will match along with ur desired rom updated. and since u r planning to buy from ebay, you only have a less chance of getting the full advantage of knowing you can rom update into english
German to English ROM change should be OK

I don't think you should have any trouble - people take devices that started out with WorldWideEnglish on them and flash to different language ROM's all the time. The hardware is the same, the keyboard layout may be slightly different. You will have to follow directions here and Hard-SPL unlock, and may need to do SIM-unlock, but I know it's all do-able.
thanx 4 the reply
thanks a lot guys,well.. what do i do here? 2 pieces of conflicting info from 2 experienced guys. shall i take this as it should be ok but theres a possibility of it going wrong? i called uk 02 tech support, they wouldn't tell me anything 'cant make any guarantees, we dont support this etc.etc.'the guy has posted it on uk ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=270225685569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017
is it not worth the risk then do you think
n e got 1 for sale? lol
i wouldnt listen to what ayyu3m said at all. true the ID will be different, but that is one of the reasons we use hardspl. we can bypass the CID and install rom from other kaisers. no problems whatsoever, expect maybe the keyboard layout
yea i agree, cid is counrty id isnt it? still not sure what 2 do. ill have to check the standard german keyboard layout. 200 quid is alot to waste but then again i could whack it back on ebay.has anyone actually tried this?cheers 4 ur reply m8, and the others all appreciated
CID=carrier ID

......error:553177900......cannot compute.....process invalid.......SCREEN
...Are you serious?
i am completely serious... i know that noone want to do this but i'll ask...
are you selling your tilt at all?..if so how much?
i want to swap my tilt with a kaiser but if noone comes out i'll sell it an buy a kaiser. i'll sell it for 420USD + shipping (420USD is likely 320Euros).
It has a black crystal cover, 3.5" headphone adapter with mic., it's in MINT condition and always had a screen protector on it.
errrr .... no
sorry!
edit: nm - I miss-read your post
Why sell it ?
if you need the second camera, there is a mod here on the forums will show you how to add it , and software wise there are so many roms here , that i am sure one of them will fit your needs,
BTW not to rain on your parade, the going price here in the states is about $300 more or less
i know what you ar sayin but i can't find a front camera nowhere in the forum nor in fleabay, i searched everywhere and offered a bounty if someone find it but noone answered, maybe u can tell me more, i'm very addicted to my kaiser i dont want to sell mine but i have to if i dont find a solution.
You must be proud of your tilt.
Here are some good links to read, but i have not found the thread that has step by step instructions for adding the camera....give me a bit to find it...

Lets us know if you find it.....
FYI I know there was a thread for doing this, but search is not bring it up
I will sell you my TYTN II for 200 euros. Ita in mint condition with a lot of added applications (tom tom 7 with maps, skyfire, memmaid etc. Also I have the desktop charger and case.
@ F2504x4: the thread on howardforums is what i saw for making an idea on what i have to do. if you take apart your tilt you will find a chip where the front cam have to go inserted, and then you have to buy a new front face cover with the cam cover. the mobo already has the connector for the front cam it's a plug'n'play thing. but i cant find the cam nowhere in the wole internet!!!
@leon sprouse: i know you want to sell me your tytnII the price is so good but i have to sell my tilt first because i have no money to afford yours
anyways thank you for the advice and for the time giving to me

@chumley EX: i am very proud and satysfied of my tilt but i live in Italy and my girlfriend whant to videocall me because i work far away from home
Does it transform or something different than the other Tilts or is the proudness you have for the phone the reasoning behind the jacked up price?

are you A Professional thread crapper?
I don't think he is, but $450 for a Tilt... I bought my Tytn 2 with 2 extra batteries and an additional pouch for $430 6 months ago. Tilts were already going for $350 at that time
@chumley EX: why don't you chill out boy? i'm just tryin to sell my tilt!
Maybe the price is too high, maybe i can sell it for lower but if i sell my tilt for lower i can't buy a tytnII because it is more expensive
i can sell it for no less than 250€
I have a quick question, if I am about to buy a Kaiser in Spanish all that I have to do is flash the phone with an English ROM and I'll have a regular Kaiser correct? Please help quickly because I don't have much time to buy this phone.

yes .......................
I also have one more question, the phone that I am looking to purchase has a Z key missing, is there any way (and if so how or where and how much) to get a new Z key for the phone?
Thank you so much for all of the help.

ebay is your friend my friend ... search for replacement keypads for kaiser. And secondly why don't you buy from someone here??? alot of kaiser users are selling their kaisers as they are switching to the fuze or someother new phone for htc.
hell I would love to buy from someone here but the thing is people are looking for a lot more here then on EBay right? Like I mean I am looking at them on Ebay for like $200? If some one can offer a deal around there I would much rather buy from here.
parts replacement
It seems to me the two best sites I have found for Kaiser parts, are CNN.CN and cellulardr - both sell the keypad
Hi guys.
I'm interested in buying a Kaiser.
I'd flash the rom with Tir v10k, seems working good.
What do you think of this smartphone?
I usually use Nokia with Symbian, just wanted that for trying it.
Is it the same if I get a V1615, Mda Vario III, P4550, Htc Tytn II, Xda Stellar? Or not?
I'm trying to buy it on Ebay, sometimes you can get a good price, I don't want to pay it more than 200€.
I found the utility for unlocking it, in case of device locked to some operator: it's not difficult the operation, right?
Tell me what you think.
Thanks
I also used to use nokia symbian phones but beleive me bro once i got a tytn2 and started flashing roms and "buying" programs for it i wil NEVER go back to a symbian phone the wm phone are so much more versatile than symbian.
The unlocking process is very simple its just like installing a game to you pc as long as you follow the instructions you cant go wrong (well most cant).
Would highly recommend a kaiser/tynt2 also opposed to buying one off e-bay there is a site selling them brand new for around £260 maybe £240 cant remember have a google,would be better if you cant get it new for warranty purposes.
Enjoy your phone when you get it,i am due an upgrade now but regardless of getting a new phone i am not going to sell my tytn 2.
Also i have just posted about anyone who has bricked there kaiser/tytn2 because i didnt take very good care of my housing and am looking to buy a second hand good condition housing,so USE the pouch it comes with because it will chip easily if you drop it, i just paid £25.88 just for a battery cover for it so be warned.
Thanks so much for fast reply.
Can you give some examples of useful sofwares for Windows Mobile?
I cannot find the site you're talking about for taking a new one. Do you think they have many problems that I should need warranty? I don't want a phone for bringing it to assistance every month. Is warranty European on these products?
Thanks

The softwares that are usefull all depend on what you are going to be using the phone for...there are many different UI (User Interfaces) available to download like htc home,manilla 2d/3d, spb mobile shell just to mention a few it all depends on what you want on your home screen.
The warranty is the manafacturers warranty which means that if theres is a manafacturers fault with the device you can send it back for upto one year,some phones will allways be sent out with a fault that got past the manafacturers tests but not very often but it does sometimes happen and if your the unlucky person that gets that one in ten thousand phone you will want to send it back.
I personally have had no problem with my tytn2,there is so much software out there for all walks of life.
I wil try and find that site for you...
Heres one...

Hi there,
Well I have had my wizard for a while now and the screen has managed to aqiure some scratches over the years and I found out that on ebay you can get a new screen for like £8 with tools and instructions, so this got me thinking, as I really like this phone even though it is old and outdated it still manages to keep up in some areas and thanks to you guys it keeps getting new software and os's so I thought well instead of spending £400 on a new phone why not spend like £50 on a new screen and then possibly fix the biggest problem i have with this phone, the RAM.... its really not enough and i was wondering if it was possible to get a new upgraded RAM chip and just get someone experienced in soldering and stuff to take out the old one and put in a new one. Now I know this really sounds far fetched and even if it is possible it may end up way to expensive, and alot easier to get a new phone but if anyone has any ideas if it is possible id love to know.
PS sorry if this is a seriously dumb question but I like my massive outdated smart phone I just wish it had more ram.
Thanks
Well to all those interested, i have found out that it is possible to get it to 128 MB but it will cost around £70 and i can get a secondhand HTC TYTN II for £100 so I think ill go for that instead.
That's cool
Is it available freely or did you have to do a lot of digging?
And any ideas how to install the new memory?
Well from what i found out in another thread on this site is that a company called retronix will take your phone in and change the ram chips for you. Here is the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359590
I have sent them an email asking about it but have not recieved a reply.
I hope this will be helpfull for you, I have decided against it as you can buy a second hand tytn II for almost the same price and also as I will start uni in september I will be getting a contract that comes with the Touch Pro 2 cant wait it looks like an awsome phone.
