Hi,

I think these are probably often asked questions, but the 'search' function wasn't being too helpful, so apologies if they are duplicates. I have the following questions:

1. I have just been in an O2 shop and the guy in there suggested that the maximum memory you should put in an XDA IIs is 512MB as anything over this slows it down. However, I have seen on the xda mini site that they specify that they have tested with 1GB of memory. Ideally, I would like to put a 5GB card in it. What is the maximum amount of memory I could put in and what would be the performance implications?

2. Will the XDA IIs support the upgrade to Windows Mobile 2005?

3. Is there going to be an XDA III released in the UK soon? Should I wait for that?

Many thanks.

Frank

2 that depend on if anybody will release a 2005 rom for it
htc or tmobile or o2 or somebody like that is needed to release a rom or leak it because the 2005 rom for xda2 cant be used

1 havent heard about issues with SD cards which i'm asuming you talk about when you talk about addin memory
would suppose a 5GB sd card would be VERY expensive though

1) The biggest cards available now are 2gb
2) The hardware is easily capable of running it, but there is on word on if it will ever be made available
3) The XDA IIs is called the XDA III elsewhere - they are the exact same device.

Hi Dabs,

thanks for the response.

1). Oh ok, so how about the exaxt same question for a a 5GB CF card instead?
2). Ah, so theres a possible problem then.
3). Oh ok, cool, thanks for clearing that up.

many thanks

dumb question? I was told by one of the advisors on the Leeds O2 Business Centre that the XDA IIs could take an SD or a CF memory card. Who am I not to beleive him?

GIGO my friend.
