dear all,

i am new to htc machines and pdas. i bought a used alpine (imate pda2) recently. it has an arabic enabled wm3 se
rom version: 1.111.00 wwe
rom date: 01/27/05
radio version: 1.03.00
protocol version 1337.42
ext rom version: 1.11.153

i have the folowing querries:
1. would changing the rom to wwe, non arabic, speed up the machine?
2. is a newer version of the rom available?
3. how do i install a backup os, like linnux on this machine?
4. should i stick to wm3 se, or is wm5 a better os? if so, will it work on this amchine and where can i get it?
5. after a long pause, say overnight, the machine takes a good about a minute to boot up, is that normal?
6. specs of the pda say that the battery has a standby time of 172 hrs, whereas the pda shows 182 min of time, adjusted, why the discrepancy?
7. lastly, the call duration shown on the machine is 28 min calls received, and 165433 min call outs. what is that?

if can get answers to these questions i will be grateful.

1. maybe a bit as i believe that the arabic is a 3th party software running ontop of wm it use mem it would also use a bit of cpu power
if it would matter much i dont know

3 http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux

4. no wm5 out for alpine

5. sounds like it had a hardreset

6. batt time is by no means a exact science nor is measuring it
or displaying it

7 sounds like a bug i would use search for "clear AND calllog" or something to see if there is a way to clear it
