Guest billinvegas Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Hi... does anyone know for certain that the "XDA" that Orange offers is the same as the "Pocket PC Phone Edition" that T-Mobile offers in the USA? (just that the company brands it to suit their needs) http://www.t-mobile.com/products/images.as...?phoneid=166765 according to the pictures, they do appear to be alike.... If so...tell me if my logic is faulty here... I see on Ebay US and Ebay UK, that people are selling car power adaptors, spare travel chargers, etc for the XDA AND the SPV. So I assume that they use the same chargers, connectors, etc... Therefore, if the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone, is indeed the same as the XDA, then the power accesories for the T-mobile phone available in the US, should work on the SPV...correct? I'd like to know for certain, before I buy one, and give it a go on my new SPV! thanks! Bill
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Looks like the XDA to me :) Any XDA accessories you buy should work fine with the SPV (both HTC products), bear in mind that the connector is reversed on the SPV compared to XDA products though (before you buy a cheap xda keyboard...).
Guest billinvegas Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Mono, thanks for the info... when you say the SPV's connector is "reversed" you mean 180 degrees, right? i.e. a keyboard for the Pocket PC Phone would work, but the SPV would be facing backwards (screen away from you)?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Yes about the 180 deg and be careful as the question of will other types of keyboards etc work has not really been addressed. Another question is will the keyboard drivers work with other makes? Also (I have not looked into it) it has been suggested that some pinouts on the connector has also been swapped.

When you say the pinouts may have been swapped, are you referring to the keyboard? All i really want to do is get a second charger for work, and a car charger. Postage/shipping/duties on shipping from England makes these rather expensive... If I can just pop into a T-Mobile store here and buy the chargers off the shelf, it would make life so much easier... Can anyone definitively say that the SX56/T-Mobile PPC chargers WILL WORK and are SAFE to use on the SPV? thanks! Bill
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Pin out keyboard etc yes but the XDA car chargers do work from what other people have posted so that part of the connector is the same.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted May 14, 2003 Report Posted May 14, 2003 Just to confirm as a T-Mobile PPC User....they are identical except for the body color and branding.
