Guest chickyd Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Alright, I've read the review on geek.com and i now want an opinion - it doesn't give me one! I know the Imate comes with more bundled software - which apprently can slow it donw a bit. Phone phones2u today and they're saying the Qtek'll be free but i'll have to wait 7-10days. I can have the Imate tomorrow for £50. Anyone know the answer to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are almost certainly ways round the device id but they're not always easy and not always safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flashed it with the iMate one and the Qtek one and then back to TMobile. All worked fine. Edited November 17, 2005 by Pondrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yep, and I'm runing the I-Mate 1.40 rom on my T-Mobile Blue Angel. But flashing other roms onto a device is not as straight forward as sticking to your own updates. Besides which I wouldn't want to be the first to test how the new WM5 devices respond to such attempts. Oh, I've had to edit your post to remove a link.
