Windows Mobile 2003 SECOND EDITION available for HTC Himalaya Pocket PC phones
December 06, 2004 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Instead of upgrading hardware, if you already own HTC Himalaya (that has been branded as Xda II, MDA II, Qtek 8020, etc) maybe you could consider upgrading software and burn latest version of operating system into ROM?

Pocket PC Phone Edition
(on picture above to the left: HTC Himalaya - the "old" generation with Bluetooth and camera, and to the right the "new" generation - HTC Blue Angel with Qwerty keyboard and Wi-fi)

Windows Mobile 2003 SECOND EDITION brings improvements in Internet browsing in Internet Explorer and most importantly adds native support for orientation switching (horizontal, vertical).

memory image of an English version of WM2003 SE which is an earlier version than the recent Chinese release, but it is genuine English. I managed to create an installable NK.nbf file from this. Also, mamaich has provided the version 1.18 Radio upgrade included here. Many thanks to mamaich for that and also for some advice when I was building the OS nbf file. Also, mamaich has provided some CAB files for Extended ROM which I have also attached here separately.

Attached is an upgrade for Himalaya devices to WM2003 SE WWE, Radio 1.18. Unzip the attachment into a folder of your choice. The nbf files are configured for operator ID O2 and language ID WWE. If you need to change these, carry out all the steps below.


To learn more or to download this ROM upgrade for your HTC Himalaya click here - it is not some unknown website but the very renowned and excellent xda-developer.com portal for all things related to HTC-made Pocket PC phones!
