to follow up on chris c. who states "the picture shows the keyboard missing the letters "Y" and "Z" - the reason - the model show is the "german" version. And the German alphabet doesn't contain the letters Y or Z." ... i'm german and believe me, the german alphabet has the letters "y" and "z". i use them regularly. ;-) if you look closely at the picture of the keyboard you will see them ... they've just been swapped around as usual on german keyboards. :-)

Shiftly : - dont install to many 3rd party programs..keep it simple..have u checked http://www.howardforums.com where u can do registry hacks to make it run faster. my qtek 9100 runs amazingly and i dont get ne freezes or ne thing...as far as Navigation systems, u can get them running on the Qtek 9100 but u need to tweak with the registry to get the gPS icon to show on the connections. I have TomTom 5 running on it even thou its not officially compatabile on the Windows Mobile 5.0...using forums like the one i mentioned above have guides to teach you. hope this helps
peace

TERRIBLE. I took delivery of this apparently capable gadget and I have rarely been so disappointed. Screen freezing, phone not working, menu lag, umpteen resets. It just isnt up to the job. This thing is over rated without sufficient memory and the phone lacks functionality and personalisation. For example. you cannot change the text message notification or indeed the volume of the message tone. The PDA switches itself off to save power which is great as you will still receive phonecalls. However, you do not get any notification when you recieve a text message. My XDA Mini has been put staright back into the box. I have a 3 year old PDA which is far superior and which I will start using again. PDA and phone in my eyes !!! never the twain should meet.

I just bought this phone in Hong Kong. I have the qwertz (german) version. I am using the phone in Canada and it works great. Can somebody please direct me to a website that would have the documentation and software (IN ENGLISH) for this phone?

Thanks.

the picture shows the keyboard missing the letters "Y" and "Z" - the reason - the model show is the "german" version. And the German alphabet doesn't contain the letters Y or Z.

Just thought you'd like to know!

Received by XDA mini S yesterday. All I can say is . . . WOW this phone really is something. Mine definitely has the QWERTY keyboard. The only slight criticism I have is that they don't supply a memory card with the XDA - no problem though, a 2gb card is only 50 pounds on ebay. Not bad as the handset was a free upgrade. I'd recommend this to anybody

Is this phone really has QWERTY keyboard...? I think it's QWERTZ. What's wrong with the 'Y' and 'Z' button?

Anyone know what the connection at the bottom of this devise is called, i know its usb but its not the standard usb cable you pug into your PC, its like a digital camera. Can i get a GPS receiver which will plug in the bottom, instead of using bluetooth and will it still need to charge from a cigaret lighter.

USB Sync problems ?

download the latests activesync 4.1 en it will most likely solve your problem ...

Hi,

I had the same problem with the XDA mini S you need the latest activesync 4.1 software, from then on everything went smoothly, have fun. :-)
