T-Mobile MDA II - Changing from German to UK format

[Biddu]

:?:

I have bought a T-Mobile MDA II from Germany, does anyone know how I go about changing it so that all screen text/prompts etc are in English?

Ask T-Mobile for an English ROM update. I expect that T-Mobile will be doing an English version eventually for selling the MDA in US, but it almost certainly isn't ready yet.

Languages on PPC's aren't user configurable. If you do find some way to change the language yourself be aware that this will void your warranty. And changing the ROM will put the MDA back to fresh from the factory state, all your data and installed programs will be wiped.

If you want English, you would have been better advised to start with an XDA from UK. Consider returning the MDA for a refund if you can and buy an XDA instead.

You can download the English update from:

You can get english manuals at:

I have an MDA II and the ROM upgrade changes EVERYTHING to English, including the camera. I've had no problems, except for battery life that is (Thinkit's a function of Bluetooth and not the ROM upgrade)

Good luck.
