Hello! Alice was actually their internet-email-ADSL client, made by Tim. So the phone or "MID" is branded with the carrier TIM. The "i." on the wallpaper basically stands for "i.tim" which was a WAP service "kinda like" the old Samsung Fun Club or "i-mode". This went on from the early 2000's to 2011-2012.
MID? I'd say due to it's architecture, (x86-based) It's more of a UMPC. MIDs typically used some sort of ARM-based SoC or something else. I do wish we could see Modern UMPCs in a slim , pocket size shell like that.
Yeah, the only thing that makes it a MID is the limiting OS. But I fixed that! So now it's an awesome little UMPC ruclips.net/video/SZd8zUSiddg/видео.html
Hey dude. I'm working on a compaq jax10, which is a clone. Do you happen to have the stock IDOL OS? I've had luck with building a few custom Linux installs on this device - let's collab!!
Hi! Sorry I missed this, I've been a bit busy, trying to get back to doing RUclips, I don't want to give up on this channel but life haha. If you still want some help with this please reach out to me on Twitter(I mean X) x.com/techshow19
I got one myself, probably from the same place you did, because it did not seem anyone else is selling them, but the battery seems to not take any charge. Strangely, it had charge even though it's a 15 years old device, but I cannot seem to charge it any more. Did you change the battery or have any issues with out the box battery?
@@techshowyt Yep. Same charger, same battery. Also bought another charger and same thing. I returned and took a second one and still the same. Probably dead battery from never being charged. Still, was curious when I saw your IDOL's charger work correctly.
Hey! a bunch of people in a Tech discord that im in bought this device too, assuming you got it from the same ebay seller, im curious if i can contact you and show you the info we have found out so far? :)
Hi! Thanks for commenting! I believe we did, indeed, all get it from the same seller, these aren't too common lol. You can reach me over on Twitter to share more info twitter.com/TECHSHOW19?t=HqzB_OnqE9z-wJ_EYpnbwg&s=09

I didn't have any issues with the battery in mine. Are you using the charger included in the box?
@@techshowyt Yep. Same charger, same battery. Also bought another charger and same thing. I returned and took a second one and still the same. Probably dead battery from never being charged. Still, was curious when I saw your IDOL's charger work correctly.
@@bleonproko760 Yeah that is strange, mine worked right out of the box. Maybe I just got lucky
