eBay Rom Upgrade

Well... as there is no legitimate way of upgrading an XDAIIs to WM2005 - it can't be legit.

He has probably downloaded the rom images from here..... what people will do for a quick buck!

I emailed a seller of a similar ebay item the following :-

Can you please verify that Bluetooth headsets do not disconnect when the device is in standby. I have tried other versions of WM5 and they all suffer this problem.

This was the response :-

well, we have not tested this particular problem, therefore not in better position to claim or answer your question.

Seems they know what they are doing :shock:

dammm... those who work hard for those Roms so that the BA can enjoy the WM5 OS but they don't charge a single penny for it, and here comes those who only have to download their HARD work and make money out of it... would really love to purchase that product but not continue with it so i can give him a negative feedback, but my ebay rep sure is not worth having to be tarnished bec of this selfish fool.

If you look at the screenshots, the phonedialer screen looks diffrent to what TuMa 1.3 does. Maybe it just uses a diffrent ROM to that?

You never know, these people might of genuinely never heard of this forum and used one of the more technical HTC/PDA sites out there to make there own ROM. There not charging very much at all for the ROM, which if they did make their own ROM proberly just covers the hours they put in developing the ROM and selling you the item. Don't forget Ebay charges fees for every item sold.
Of course, this site relys on donations to keep going, so theres not much diffrence is there?

The thing that does concern me more, is the fact that they havent a clue about the Bluetooth issue. If you get a ROM from this site you will be told exactly what it is and why it is happening, what's being done to fix it, and a free update when it is fixed - hows that for after-nosales?

The phone dialer skins that you see are the Eten dialer skins, they can be downloaded from PaulyA's site at http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm

The eBay offer is a fake, fraudulent at best, and not very respectful to those that actually do put in tons of work to get a decent WM5 version out.

Looks fake to me, they are even using screenshots from the Smartphone version of WM5. And if it was real it would cost more than $8, the WM5 upgrade from Dell cost more than that. Nothing but someone trying to make a buck from other's hard work and the ignorance of ebay shoppers.
