What is the difference between these two variants?
I get the impression that the HERM100's are made into the carrier devices like Orange M3100's, VarioII's, Dopod 838's etc...
And the HERM200's are made into TyTN's
Does anyone know for sure what the score is with the two types is though?

Hi,
As long as I've read on the forum, the main differences between HERM100 and HERM200 are the processor clock speed 300Mhz on HERM100 and 400Mhz on HERM200 and the keyboard layout. It seems that HERM100 was used on some early development divices. You can find a lot more information here:

Regards.
No, the 300Mhz was an early development version. Both HERM100 and HERM200 have a 400Mhz processor.
We still don't really know the differences.

My guess is just like the Wizards the 100 and 200 will dictate the base form factor before operator customisations go on (silk screen, plastics etc.).
For example the Vodafone branded Hermes is an HERM200 and I would suspect the Dopad 838 for example would be a HERM100 as it uses the other main button layout.
Like the Wizard I doubt there are any noteworthy differences in the hardware and in due time I would suspect the ROM's will be interchangeable.
Really enjoying the few Vodafone branded Hermes I have to test on but I do find I am missing one or 2 features from the Wizards that I came to love. The wheel is a nice but not quite as nice as say the 4 way jog on SE P910 I had many moons ago.

That is essentially what I was trying to say in my original post. I figured as much. Thanks for clearing it up.
Agreed, that a 4 way jog/wheel would have been a nice extra touch.
I like the layout or HERM100 devices in respect to the D-pad and surrounding keys...

Really a good guess! I believe, your right! I posted it to the Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes).

My Orange SPV M3100 HERM100 device came shipped with a battery model number HERM160 with 1300mAh capacity.
My HERM200 HTC Tytn branded device came with a HERM161 batterywith 1350mAh capacity.......
Make sure you get the HERM200 if you want those crucial extra 50mAh! :lol:

After some research I found they are the same with little finishing differences.
This great review will explain much better.

on the official i-mate website the specs read 1300 mah battery. is that a typo ?
which vendor makes the better version of the Hermes. i live in the US and i would not want to get an american version of this phone since american vendors usually butcher the crisp european phones that come in (god knows why)
what do we know about HERM300 and in the TyTN version (herm200) it comes with 2 different ext-roms 106 and 105 , anyones take on that ?

imate JasJam is HERM100 device, so it comes with HERM160 battery which is 1300 mAh.

You can read the differences between HERM100/200/300 in the wiki and have an overview of all models:

Do not worry about the extrom, you can change it to your liking without having to reflash.

which one in your opinion is better ? (100/200/300)
does the 300 come with 1350mah ?
and another stupid question (its my first pocketpc so pardon me) whats "rom" exactly and what do you mean by it being interchangeable ?

I don't really care... differences are minor and hardware it's the same... only buttons and color changes, and 50mAh difference in battery is not too much noticeable.
does the 300 come with 1350mah ?
I don't know, sorry.
