O2 did a better job this time by annoucing the XDA IIs with a higher CPU speed using X-scale 512 MHz ... the rest of specs are the same of original HTS Blueangel H/W

P.S: I personally love the code IIs and IIi than III ... I believe the new devices is not up to the III wish list yet

Well, I was searching for good prices for the XDA II in the UK and then I discovered that the XDA IIi and IIs will be released soon-the IIs being released on the 1st of November which is exactly a month from today.

This led me to beleive that there would be a price drop for the XDA II so I chose to wait the month.

Then I stumbled upon this MDA compact.

Now this device comes with a 1.3 Megapixel camera(was never impressed by the XDA II camera), 416Mhz processor and should be released in Germany by Mid-November.

So my new intention is to get this when it's released (it shoukd cost 200 euros with a contract).

Can I unlock it for my UK 02 sim card?
Can I change the language from German to English?

Is anyone going to answer my questions?

Maybe nobody is able to answer your questions....
Until now there isn´t an device available, so nobody knows the details....
I think you have to wait a few days, weeks, .....

Hi Lumpi ! how are U ? Long time I don't came here!
can i have some information (in pvt) on how to cook the roms in local ?? (so I can add my favorite apps)

Anyway ... i passed 2 days ago from ppc2002 to wm2003... and can say that is very better !!

anyway..

the new MDa-compact isn't bad... but it will cost 700€ !! For that price is far better spend 150€ more and have the MDA3... i love that phone... maybe it should be my next one (when the price get down 8) ), or i can think on a used MD2 + a fordable keyboard (or the laser one, it cost only 60$ !!) and save about 300-350€ !!

Apart from the fact I'll buy the Magician anyway as it perfectly fits all my needs, observing its PCB image I noticed that it hasn't the ATI Imageon chip.
Carrier Devices however defines also this PDAPhone as a "Gaming Console". Someone knows what's Magician video adapter and if it'll be able to run the last PocketPC Games smoothly?

I believe this chip doesn't help much for the game speed, since XDA1 run most PocketPC games in an acceptable speed already.

What I really concern is the ram size.. I want 128M ram.
