I picked up an Audiovox branded Blue Angel today for a whole $10. It was sold through Telus, the local CDMA cell provider here in Vancouver Canada. As such it has no SIM socket and no wifi. GetDeviceData tells me it's a PH20A2. Does this mean it's a Harrier? I probably shouldn't be trying to understand all of this when I'm so tired.

It's in pretty good shape, but a touch uninteresting as-is. So of course I want to try updating it.

Before I do, would there be any interest in the Telus provided files in the EXT ROM and such?
I copied the files out of the EXT ROM so I could restore it if I mess things up.

It contained:
AutoRun.exe
Config.txt
HTC_Album_WWE.CAB
HTC_Button9.sa.CAB
HTC_FixCamera_18157.sa.CAB
HTC_PhonePH_v2.4.0.CAB
HTC_Qwerty_Indicator.sa.CAB
HTC_rtp_harrier_qcp.cab
HTC_WLNP_Telus.sa.CAB
HTC_WModem.sa.CAB
Telus.sa_modtsk.CAB
telus_software_store_v12.cab
TPDisable.exe
TPEnable.exe
Version.sa.CAB

It's running Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and the about dialog says it's version 4.21.1088 build 14235.2.0.0

Now, after all that I'm a little confused about what will and won't run on here.
I haven't seen any updates for a Telus/audiovox phone, and I'm not sure how compatible the others are.
It sounds like WM5 and 6 are right out. Is that because this phone's CDMA instead of GSM?
What about versions of 2003SE? EXT ROM stuff?

I hope someone can clear this up for me so I can start having fun with this device.
Now I'm going to sleep.

What software that wll run on 2003 is what you are limited to. Currently, there isn't any WM5/6 ROMs available for CDMA devices.

You might want to check on the status of the WM5 for Harrier project (thread is in the forum) and see if they have gotten any further.
