i think purely down to personal opinion
the specs are all the same...........some different carrier features and software the m2000 is silver like the pda2k...........and looks nice! the xda2s............simply gorgeous !!! graphite colour, just superb! there are also the call plans and bundles to think of from each carrier |

Aesthetics are in O2 favour but I got great deal from Orange on M2000. Problem being that Orange have not bundled fax software and there is none available which works! O2 win out on functionality as well.

73bugcab, have you tried KSE Truefax 2004 (v.3.0). Not used it on my M2000 but it's just won an award. May be worth a look: -

id go for m2000 - which i have... why? simple
high usage gprs on o2=£45 for 125 meg high usage gprs on orange=£45 for UNLIMITED. and considering i did between 300 and 600 meg a month on my e200, it was silly ending the contract. that and the o2 sales staff were so retarded they were nearly dribbling. -------------------- dyslexia is a four letter word

They are both the same, just different operators.
In my opinion the M2000 wins hands down. It looks proffesional and stylish, whereas the XDAIIs looks cheap and plastic in the flesh. If your going to buy on photo appearance only tho the XDAIIs looks great.............unfortunately it show wear and tear much much more But then that is only my opinion -------------------- Current Phone Orange SPV M5000

Farhad: I've just spoke to Orange and they are resusing to enable the fax number as they say the phone does not support it! Is it working without problesm on your M2000? -Anthony |

Hi there, I have an SPV M2000 (HTC Blue Angel), and I installed TrueFax 2.08. I can send faxes with it just fine. However, receiving faxes does not seem to work. If I try to receive on my fax number, it goes directly to the answer fax service. If I try to receive on my normal mobile number, it answers the call then says "modem reported an error" and hangs up. Any idea how to get it to receive faxes? Can you confirm that you have actually received faxes on Orange using an SPV M2000? Thanks, -simon |

Any idea how to get it to receive faxes? Can you confirm that you have actually received faxes on Orange using an SPV M2000? Ok, so I played around with it a bit, and figured I'd share what I have learned so far. Most importantly, Orange support are useless when it comes to "non standard" functions (and apparently using the fax directly is "non standard"). You cannot control the answer-fax diverting via built-in phone functions (like you could on the 6210i), you need to use GSM codes from http://www.mobileshop.org/usertech/gsmcodes.htm To disable answerfax and accept faxes on the M2000 directly: ##21*13# To enable answerfax again: **21*07973100623*13# Type the codes into the phone application, press Talk after entering them. Once answerfax is disabled, you can run Truefax (2.09, not 3.x) and have it accept a fax. The call must be made to your FAX number at orange. I've accepted faxes this way, it works. Problems: 1) There is no ring tone for incoming fax calls on the M2000 - in fact no knowledge of it at all unless the Truefax software is running! 2) There is no way to "answer" an incoming fax call by starting up Truefax - you must have it running before the call comes in. 3) While your phone is waiting to answer faxes with Truefax, the voice line is deactivated (it is in "flight mode" and incoming voice calls are redirected to voicemail). 4) You cannot pick up messages from other GSM faxes - unfortunately this also includes the Fax Mailbox from Orange. So even if you manage to print the fax from Orange voicemail to your fax number, disconnect and start up the Truefax software in time, it won't work (from my testing). What I would really like to be able to do is set it up so that the answerfax service picks up a fax that I'm not expecting and am not ready to pick up. You can in fact do **61*07973100623*13*5# to have it redirect unanswered fax calls to answerfax after 5 seconds, however this does not work - it redirects it to a busy signal (which is the same as you get if you dial the answerfax number directly). I am assuming this is because it's being treated as an ongoing diverted call rather than one that was sent to the fax mailbox. Oh well, maybe Orange will fix it one day. Anyway, it "sort of" works - enough for me to do what I really need to. Not decided yet whether to buy the software or not, we'll see. Hope that's been of use to someone  -simon |
