Hi, I am a newby.
I have a Qtek 9100 device (it says model:WIZA200) with a chipflash: M-Systems G3 [so, as far as I understand (very little), I have a G3 device].

At boot it says:
IPL 1.03
SPL 1.06
GSM 1.04.10
OS 1.3.7.16

and in the info:
ROM vers.: 1.3.7.16 ITA
ROM Date: 10/24/05
Radio vers.: 01.04.10
Protocol vers.: 4.0.13.17
ExtROM vers.: 1.3.7.107

as you can see everything is pretty outdated.

I have read many of the sticky threads available here but still have a lot of confusion, especillay because I know very little about the hardware side of my device. Hence, let me ask the following questions:

1) I understand that the G3/G4 is related to the chipset. If you have G3, like me, you can't change, you have to stick to it. Right?
2) I understand that IPL/SPL, the bootloaders, allow you to upload only some updated versions of the ROMs, etc. Right?
3) What is this AKU2, AKU3, WM6 thing? I don't understand how these relates to the above....
4) How can I determine if my device is equipped with a T-Mobile, cingular, etc. thing?

What is the best updated configuration for an initial basic use + TOM TOM 5 software in your opinion? Where can I find the updated soft versions?

In this excellent forum and thread (many congratulations, really excellent) you still take so many things for granted for a newcomer like me that it is almost unavoidable for me to ask what might be judged to be silly questions - sorry for that.

Thanks to anyone answering (I hope not to be too much offtopic).
