I would like to know and I am sure others would like to know if there are any accessories For Wizard from Magician or Other compatible phones that work on both.
Coz its a new phone Usually accessories from other older phones in the same range or older models work, like those of Nokia compatibles.
Chargers, headsets, USB cables, Cases ( probly not coz of the size differance), Car kits or any thing that will connect and is usable.
Some of the items i have come across that work with other items but just coz it is branded to work on the Model makes you think only that is branded for that product, therfore will work but not other's thats why started this !!
p.s I cant wait for my i-mate K-Jam to arrive !!
Software
For the hardware it will take sometime yet for feedback.
But as for software here is a lick to software that is compatible with Windows mobile 5 . ( on wizard forum as software compatible with windows mibile 5 ! )

USB cable (I think any usb mini cable will do)
Typhoon --> Magician --> Wizard works fine
Headsets (modded with sony headphones)
Typhoon --> Magician --> Wizard works fine
Generic car charger
Typhoon --> Magician --> Wizard works fine
Well all styli would work

On a more serious note:
boxwave's miniBuds 2.5mm jack [no mic] work with the Wizard.
boxwave's miniSync for the Magician [aka imate JAM] charges but does not sync the Wizard [they have a new one for the Wizard]
boxwave's VersaCharger is not compatible with the Wizard [according to boxwave] I did not test this personally cause I didn't want to risk shorting out the device.
--
although all styluses would work, you can't stick a BA/Magician/Universal stylus in the Wizard stylus holder So I wouldn't quite claim them as being 'compatible' :>
First to report a battery that has a larger charge than 1250mAh but still fits with the Wizard gets a cookie, though
quite right ZeBoxx hehe

Ive read many post on here and others. I must say Im confused.
Is the new Blue Angel connector physically the same as the previous XDAII connector?
Are the pin outs the same?
Some people say no problem, some are filing theirs down??? Some are "forcing it in" - YIKES
i would love to know as well
The pin outs are the same - the connector is physically the same size, but there is one minor change - there is a little 'step' on one edge of the connector.
XDAII accessories, such as chargers, usb and gps do fit but you need to be careful when you insert them.
Forget my stupidity. I used to own the Siemens SX56 and had hotsync and car charger cables.
The question is now I have the Siemens SX66, is it safe to use the same cables from the SX56? I haven't tried it since I don't want to kill my new toy!
If anyone knows or can verify that it's safe it would be really appreciated.
I am using car charger, usb sync cable and wired gps that were originally bought for my XDA1, then used on XDAII and now work fine on MDAIII.
Do any of the serial keyboards work with XDA IIs?
I tried to connect the stowaway keyboard I used with my XDA II but it does not seem to work with my QTEK 9090.
I'm only guessing, but I would think that the drivers weren't written for wm2003SE.
I have the darfon fold out keyboard that I bought for my sx56, and last night I got it working just fine with my new sx66, so yes, they work. I needed to go to darfon.com and download the newest version of the driver.
I have one of the IR keyboards and the supplied driver works fine, but I have to balance the MDAIII on something to make it high enough for the IR receiver on the keyboard because the MDAIII IR is on the side.
The pin outs are the same

They are not!!!!!
There is a voltage output from an XDAII when in a call, but the XDA IIs doesn't give the voltage!
Can't remember which pin off the top of my head but I have been testing this and found this to be a major problem when designing a proper car kit for both items!
..Spence
Bit worried about using my incar chrger from my xdaII for my IIs. Does anyone know where I can get a charger or usb sync cheaply for the IIs/pd2k? Expansys are charging £20! There's one here:
http://www.firstphoneshop.co.uk/o2-phone-accessories/o2-imate-pda2k.shtml
But i'm not sure its not just the old II charger...
Hi all,
I see birdog has put piccies up at:

(and thanks btw) but can anyone confirm this pinout?
Cheers!
Hi
Can anyone give me a link to a site which supplies working USB SYNC AND DATA CABLE for XDA IIs.
>Regards

Hi! I bougt a sync/data cable for my qtek 9090 (XDA IIs, XDAIII, PDA2K.....) on ebay from a ebayshop in the UK, worked fine with everything, shipped to Sweden in 3days. Hava a look at http://stores.ebay.com/Morpeth-Mobiles
hy....
i've buyed this:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/minisync/minisync-retractable-cable-qtek-9090_441.htm
and this:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/carcharger/index.htm
and i dont be satisfied because the minisinc starts to get bad contact, sure to caused by using this on my pocket almoust every days.... but could be my fault.... the car charger drops from the lightning hole charger (i dont know how it wrottes in english)..... but it could be my fault again because i'm a owner of o old car.......
I have two.
One branded brando - this is a very small retractable mini-sync. It works fine with my O2 XDA IIs
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwretractablesynccharger.php
I also bought another one from expansys I believe, which was listed as working with the i-mate PDA2K. AFAIK a PDA2K is a BA same as the O2 XDA IIs.
This unit is slightly bigger than the brando one, and it DOES NOT WORK. It will not charge or sync, although it does fit in the connector.
The brando one is great though.
If you have a car, get a USB to cigarette lighter adapter and leave it in the car, keep the brando mini sync on you. That way on foot or in car a charge is never far away.
I have both for XDA mini, XDA II and XDA IIs
700pesos each only
but I am in the Philippines
I'm looking for a serial cable for my Cingular 8125. I'd like to be able to connect to network equipment via a console cable and not have to drag out my laptop.
If this won't work ahs anyone tried this with a BT serial adapter for the network equipment.
I know I'm not the only network tech around on these forums.
J-Man5
Bump.
This would be a fantasic enhancement. It would save me a small fortune if I could connect the device to other hardware.
Just made a cable for my MDA but need info on com port setup
Hey J-Man5, I have been looking everywhere for such a cable to no avail. So I decided to put one together myself. Just finished it today, but I have not tested it on any network routers yet. It is made for Cisco console ports. My problem though is that I so far haven't truly figured out how to get the MDA to use com-port 1 mode on the mini-USB connector. Again I have searched everywhere for any info on this but it must be a secret. I am planning on using a terminal program called PowerTerm Mobile which looks great, but again, I haven't tested it. Were you ever able to get anything to work for you? And does anyone know how to get MDA into Comm-port mode?
Thanks
Any updates on this? I'm interested in using a Wizard with the AutoEnginuity OBD-II scanner, and that needs a serial interface (don't want to fork out for the less optimal BT interface).
I found this:

...anybody tried it?

That cable posted above won't work beause it's not compatible with the wizard aka T-Mobile MDA III. They started using the mini usb at that point.
CompUSA is selling the Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Transceiver for $39.99. It shows up as a COM port in its bluetooth settings.
The problem with this, though, is it still connects with a mini 5-pin USB cable (not included).
Not quite sure how to map this into your application, but at about retail for a cable/pigtail, might be worth checking into.
p.s. Sound quality resembles that described by many HT820 owners, with pops, skips, random dropouts, and excessive noise. (At least with the MS Bluetooth stack) So a data application would (hopefully) be its forte....

Yeah, now that I have a Wizard (yay!) I realised that the port was different. Too bad. I guess the nearest thing would be a Bluetooth-Serial adapter like one of these:

Spendy, though. :-(

why not go for an OBD product with bluetooth built in? like OBDKey (www.obdkey.com)
For sale:
T-Mobile MDA branded Blue Angel. Very good condition, but...
1. Bluetooth does not work at all. I tried.
2. Updating to WM 6 / 6.1 will make it very difficult to reboot correctly. This is a known problem, and not just my own unit (threads about it here).
3. Previous owner wiped the IMEI #, so it only has a fake number on it. (I wasn't told when I bought it so I had no idea).
4. Previous owner removed the label, so I had no idea what the original IMEI / SN could be (yea bummer, could be hot stuff for all I know!).
Now for the better stuff:
Everything else works fine. I flashed to latest WM 2003 SE version and it is very stable, no problem.
Battery life is good (but battery is not original, it is third party brand).
Has a case w/ it, which actually is for an HP iPAQ 38xx/39xx series (it came w/ it).
Has a double USB / serial cable (this is the main reason I bought it: I need a PDA w/ serial port and cable, to use for amateur radio packet and APRS functionality!!! but now I have no time to do this project).
Has a car charger (third party) for it.
No AC charger (none came w/ it), but it can charge via the USB cable, or the car charger cable.
I flashed to WM 6.1 from some of the ROMs here, and it worked well, only until it hangs for some reason. So flashing part itself was successful as I have done many times.
WiFi works well, phone works well, GPRS works well, LCD good no bad pixels etc.
Now the offer:
$150. for everything except shipping (depending where and I will get you a price on that, basically what I'll pay for the shipping).
I am in Vancouver, Canada, so if you are local you can do a pick up.
I accept PayPal or direct electronic bank transfer.
P.S. Also for sale:
Toshiba e830 (rare).
Isn't the T-mobile MDA a HTC Wizard, not BA?
Mine is branded as such, AFAIK, MDA is branded for more than 1 hardware.
The unit has been sold to a friend of mine, so no longer available.
Thank you for all the support I've had while trying to play w/ this machine in the past.
Does anyone know where I can get a retractable USB cable which works fully with the Touch HD? I have bought a couple from ebay but they only charge the phone but won't let me synch ("USB device not recognised")
Have to admit that I,m in the same boat....have purchased 2 of these, and neither worked for sync...only charging.....very strange....
Same problem, don't understand why !
Try Amazon, there'a a range of ones there of differing qualities. I bought the cheap and nasty ones which still worked fine.
Does anyone know why certain USB cables do not work with the Blackstone?

Do you know which retractable USB cable you bought exactly from amazon? Maybe a link to site or seller's page would be great. I've tried different ones from ebay and they don't work so if I can get the same as yours then hopefully it should work
Thanks
Do not use
Dear all,
Search this forum for battery issues and you will see some postings there. You will see that these cheap chinese cables don't do the job.
I can vouch for this as I used to use retractable usb cables for all of my devices (phones, cameras, etc.). I used one for the htc which works fine (cheap chinese from ebay) but I stopped using.
For charging, it will definitely cause battery problems (ie battery empties quite fast). For syncing I have not come up with problems most of the times.
Although it seems very convenient the cable usually gives problems. There may be a lot of reasons, eg it is not properly shielded.
A solution that works for me now is to buy proper usb cables but 10-15 cm length. This way I avoid cable clutter...
i got my one from mobile fun
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/retractable-sync-charge-cable-htc-devices-p5650.htm
for me it work for charging and sync iv hoocked it up to my desktop and laptop worked fine on both.
Hi,i use only this cable , for my car too . No problem for charging my pda .
There do seem to be different cables - I had to try a couple before I found one that worked. The brand I have is 'Newlink'. Purchased at http://www.fommy.com
If you had searched this forum by going just one page back you would have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507265

Original ziplink working hard
I've got the original Ziplink usb cable that works for years with all my HTC from S200 to Blackstone, Raphael, Kaiser... Even archos
