News regarding the Qtek version of the Universal

[anicaus]

Got some news for those of you waiting for the Qtek version of HTC Universal:

-The Qtek version of the Universal will be 'Qtek 9000', not 'Qtek 4040'
-It will be realeased in the end of october
-It will have 128 mb RAM and 96mb ROM, not 128mb ROM and 64mb RAM as stated elsewhere.
-The price will be € 986 w/o VAT

Found all this info on Qtek's Switzerland pages. But guess it will be available to the rest of the world by then as well, since they ship it internationally.

Accurate to a point BUT I don't believe those memory figures are correct.

When HTC first released details of the Universal they gave information that it would have 128MB RAM and 96MB ROM. At first both Orange and T-mobile gave that info out as being accurate. Now both of them have changed their info to say 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM. As such I'm inclined to believe that Qtek simply haven't corrected themselves (see also the dimensions they give - which are again based on the original info released by HTC, and which Orange, O2 and T-mobile have all now corrected).

I see.. But it could be true considering that the prototypes got 2*32mb + room for two more.
Perhaps it even will be different from each distributor? (lets say Qtek will give the RAM priority - 128mb RAM and 96mb ROM, and I-mate will do the opposite - 64mb RAM and 128mb ROM or something)

The way Windows Mobile 5.0 works makes 96MB ROM and 128MB RAM a less efficient arrangement. No - I think the fact that their specs (including measurements) match inaccurate ones from a while ago makes it unlikely they are correct (not impossible - but very unlikely).

Warning: Do not rely on qtek.ch. They are NOT official Qtek Dealers, instead they import the devices through dubious channels. Plus, they are thieves, a statement I can prove.

Go instead to http://www.dangaard.ch if you want to get official news about Qtek in Switzerland.

it's unlikely that the 2 empty places for chips could
be used for both rom and ram
the memorymap would get pretty screw'd up if
you just put in rom chips even if you could find
leg compatible ones
