I have the unbranded one but I'm selling it on adverts.ie because I have a work phone now so don't really use it. I had an I-Mate Jam for a year or so before it and decided to upgrade for the wifi and the keyboard. It a big improvement on the Jam. The keyboard is brilliant - when you slide it out the screen automatically rotates and it's really handy to type out the texts instead of using the stylus. The screen is nice and clear and transferring stuff is fast - I found the Jam to be a bit slow when copying photos etc K-Jam is grand. Size wise it's a little thicker than your average phone because of the keyboard but its still nice and neat compared to its bigger brother xdas.

Work gave me one on Friday, seems very neat compared to the older, larger ones. I'm only just setting it up now, so haven't spent a lot of time with it just yet, I like the ability to rdesktop from anywhere, the screen scales very well.

Is there a thread/sticky with free useful apps for XDA's somewhere around here?

<edit> Ah, I see there's a sticky, n1 ***** </edit>

It's not worth the money it costs in Ireland, I paid £50 for mine, and it's broken 4 times since I bought it, luckily O2 replaced it everytime. It's good, but not €300 good.

Hey, I'm having huge trouble with receiving MMSs on my XDA / HTC Wizard... I know this is off-topic, but would anyone here who has this XDA Mini and if having no hassle with MMSs be so kind as to PM me their MMS Settings?

Right, now to avoid thread hijacking I say this: I really like this handset. With the small exception of the number keypad (it's a touchscreen) and the very occasional reset required, I'm very happy with it. I have it set up with the Blackberry service, so I get my Exchange, Hotmail and Gmail messages pushed to me.

Oh, and perhaps that mini-review should be taken with a grain of salt, because it's a work phone It is pretty expensive to get started with, admittedly!

The Real A2DP is on the AKU 3.2 to AKU 3.5 Rom's and the New Crossbow Rom's the above is a patch but does not fully support AVCRP.

The XDA Mini S or HTC Wizard is by far on of the best phones I have had, the keyboard is totally usuable and it is very very expandable in every form or manner.

The XDA Developers Website is the Job, remember if your going to change rom's etc,alway make sure it is CID unlocked.

Please! I've had no luck with 02's support at all. They sent me some settings, but to no avail. GPRS is working no hassle, so I figure it's just the server settings for MMS...

I had this for a few weeks, it was a terrible phone.

It was unresponsive, sluggish, constantly froze, the screen was constantly becoming misaligned, call quality was awful & I was constantly dropping calls.

Changed to a Nokia E61, its a world apart.
