Blue Angel Versions

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Can someone explain if there is any real difference between the Blue Angel versions? i-mate PDA2K, MDA III, QTEK 9090, IIs and so on...

I am talking about a real difference for example the amount of ROM memory (which in some places I see 64mb and some places 96mb, which is correct?) operating system version and so on...

If there is a difference, which should I buy?

Thanks.

no difference

There are differences actually. Depending on model you might not get WiFi built in or a camera built in.

TMobile which is to release the MDA III might not have a camera

Sprint is releasing 2 versions with and without the camera, but both will be without WiFi

To my knowledge only WiFi and the camera are the missing parts from some models

Great, thanks.

And does it have 64mb ROM or 96mb ?

Ed,

What links do you have to support this?

All phone that are out today are the same. In the future there will be some without Camera's for the corporate users. The only thing that I have seen without WiFi will be the i-mate JAM but that looks completely different.

Sprint - Comes in the 6600/6601 (AudioVox) models. Both models are without Wifi support. The 6600 is the one that comes with the Camera.

This link just shows that the 6600 model comes with a camera

Verizon - Should be the same AudioVox models that Sprint uses

The whole reason for the lack of WiFi support is rumored to be a conflict with the EV-DO signal used by CDMA. You can look in many different forums for a discussion on this. I personally think the lack of WiFi support is just to save on support costs.


Cingular and ATT are supposed to be getting the Siemens SX66. It is supposed to be the full HTC Blue Angel specs. Nothing missing

http://www.engadget.com/entry/6548012790166434/

T-Mobile is calling it the MDA III which is already being sold in Germany. The US model may or may not come with a camera.

SX66 May not have a camera. I think they will do what they are with the sprint version. one with and without the camera... It's not actually out yet and "no one" officially knows yet.
