Hi guys! All this while I have been wanting O2 Mini since I saw it at one of the shops in KLCC. However coming out with RM2688 at one go seemed like a burden. Coming into this forum by accident is really a blessing, as reading fein's post on PB Visa Card promotion gave me a new light in finally owning that piece of cool gadget. Thanks fein cos if I never read your post, I will still be ignorant about PB's promotion. I have applied for the card and now waiting for the approval before proceeding to get O2 mini.

Anyway, currently I am using Ipaq 4150. I wonder if I get my O2 mini, can I just synched it straightaway with the ActiveSync that I installed for my Ipaq?

LoL fishman, same case man... without his notice... i wouldn't bother to check the promotion too.... Waiting for O2 Mini too....

Eh? What happened to new theme every wekk

Okay guys, at last I'm getting my O2 mini on the coming week.... Phew, wait till my neck also few feet long liao...

All right, I was surveying around MV & LYP and I was qouted a price from PDA Expert from MV for RM 2600 (full package + screen protector<crystal view> + lifetime software support) or RM 2620 with the same package above PLUS a car charger adapter.

So is this deal consider a good one? Kindly advice or recommend me a place if there is a better place with a better deal and also a better software support/knowledge.

Kindly provide more info for the below :-

1. What does the original full package included in the box?
2. Is the Crystal View screen protector good/almost same with Martin Field? What is the price for the both SC?
3. What is the normal market price for the car charger adapter if bought seperately?
4. Please recommend a list of MUST HAVE softwares for this cool device so that it can be cOOler....
5. Does this smartphone origanally has the following function for the Phone function like Caller Group, Caller Picture? If not, please recommend softwares for the above functions.
6. Since this Mini is using WM 2003 SE, can it be upgradable to the newer version in the future?
7. I'm planning to pair this Mini with the Logitech Freedom Bluetooth Earpiece, any comment on this?

Well, I guess these are what I need to know for the moment.

Experts please help me out on this issue cause I don't want to waste my hard-earn $$$ which cause about RM2k++.

how much is mini O2 in the market? so tempting to get one.. but i just brought motorola E680...

to compare mini O2 and motorola E680. which one nicer ah? just want to get opioion before i change it .
heheh

1. What does the original full package included in the box?

- Dunno..Not a PPC Guy

2. Is the Crystal View screen protector good/almost same with Martin Field? What is the price for the both SC?

- I heard so..its kinda good one

3. What is the normal market price for the car charger adapter if bought seperately?

- Depends ..Some say around RM 100-RM 200 (depends..around that range)

4. Please recommend a list of MUST HAVE softwares for this cool device so that it can be cOOler....

- Hmm..not Treo..I dunno...check out www.pocketgear.com , you might find some cool software

5. Does this smartphone origanally has the following function for the Phone function like Caller Group, Caller Picture? If not, please recommend softwares for the above functions.

- I think it comes with it

6. Since this Mini is using WM 2003 SE, can it be upgradable to the newer version in the future?

- I hate to say..I hate pocket pc upgrades..sometimes they don't even provide it...Again . you could upgrade it or not..It depends..In theory , is it upgradable..Yes , it has a FLASH ROM..


7. I'm planning to pair this Mini with the Logitech Freedom Bluetooth Earpiece, any comment on this?

Should work...The device supports BT Headset profiles !

1x Handset
1x Battery
2x Stylus
1x Pouch
1x Travel Charger
1x 2 sided earphone
1x 256MB SD card
1x Activesync CD

Manuals and leaflets

Crystal View is pretty OK. But MF is just a notch above it. You can see and feel the difference. CV - RM 30-RM 40. MF RM 50.

Not sure. Some say < RM 100. But I saw one for sale at Low Yat for RM 150.

This is a very subjective matter. One good software might be useful for one but might not be useful for another. Browse through the various online softwares stores and see what you need.

OR, ask the shop to recommend you some softwares.

Caller Group, no. But you can assign individual ring tones to each caller, using Ring Tone X. Caller Picture is supported by default.

It depends on the manufacturer, in this case O2. So we cannot say for now.

Shouldn't be a problem.

1. Package comes with pouch, earpiece, 256mb sd card, 2xstylus, usb cable, cd and power cord.

2.I would recommend martin fields as it feels more quality, u can really feel the diff between both of them.

3.Original adapter is quoted at RM120 if i am not mistaken, but the el cheapos (pirated) is at RM20++

4.Cant help u there, gotta do research, and there is too many.

5. Yes, there are software bundled for this thing already not to worry.

6.Erm i am new to this, upgradable thingy, i am not sure.

7. Should be able kua? i do not own a bluetooth headset sorry.

lifetime software support? what kind of software?

haha...lifetime?? apa la..
get the mini! u wont regret..
join the group

RM2600? MINI

i got mine already since few months ago la..

sonyclie77 & hangy2k....

My friend (firewire) told me that you both are expert with this MINI.... So please do look after me when I bought one too....


I just got my Logitech Freedom Bluetooth today at LYP, for RM 270. Good deal or not?

So if anyone is interested with my Motorola HS-810 (Earpiece, charger, original pouch), I'm letting it go at RM100. Please contact me anytime as I don't need 2 bluetooth.

Hey guys, seems like no one say anything about the Mini deal that PDA expert offer to me....

Lifetime software support, from what I understand from them is, I can go back to them as long as I'm still using the Mini for free software installation...

The car charger adapter they bundled is those compatible one, not ORIGINAL... So, is it advisable to use those compatible one or get an additional battery? Btw, how much is an ORIGINAL battery cost?

Don't worry, I will definately join the Mini club as I've been planning to get one a month ago....

So guys, please reserve a seat for me and be kind enough to guide me.....

Till then, I'm still a guy who is using a SE K700i.

Sayonara....

I was offer by PDA Expert at MV, RM2600 for standard package + Screen Protector or RM 2620 with the above package + a car charger adapter....

Is this consider a good deal? Or could be better?

hehe, i still newbie in Windows Mobile or PDA phone la..

From the sound of it, it's a pretty good deal I should say.

And depending on your usage, you might want to consider the package with the car charger.

Still learning. Not expert at all.

Not sure about headsets. But from Graffika's list dated 5/4/05, it's RM 360. So RM 270 should be a fair deal. I tried on the headset at the road show some time back. And I must say that it's one of the most comfortable headset I've worn.

Your deal sounds OK. No worries.

It's up to you. I'd rather get an extra Ori battery. But I am to understand it costs around RM 100 or so.
