Comments on: Ohfish GSM Modem/Phone Available Now

Dear All,
OhFish will be exhibiting its tri-band unit during the period of June 26 till the 28th at the PC Expo in NYC. All that people had been waiting for. There are devies available for both the Vx as well as the m505. COme and check us out!!~~

If I could have a dime for every time I heard a Xtian telling people that followers of another religion are actually worshipping satan...
Try not to be so touchy about your myth figure, OK?

To the mother****er who is using that stupid username, please note that your mother****ing descendents and ancestors will be ****ed and killed by that Pig.

Hi, I have bought OhFish from an auction in Sydney Australia, I live here in Sydney. But the product did not come with the power adaptor. I cannot find what the voltage of the battery is in OhFish. Could you be so kind to let me know what the power adaptor voltage output is. I could find some other adaptor that can do the job as long as I find the right voltage. There is no OhFish representative in Sydney or in Australia.

Thank you,

Francis from Sydney

If you've waited this long before getting a Minstrel-V, then I'd wait a little longer for the tri-band OhFish. I heard that it might be as soon as two months from now for the tri-band. Up to you, though. ;-)

I am an Ohfish user myself as well. At first I was kind of disappointed with their simple phone software, however they have been e-mailing with an updated version which I thought it worked quite well. They have also mentioned that there will be another release on March 1st where it will cell phone like functions. i can't wait for that. I think overall, I am just very pleased with their constant updating.

From the picture on ad, I don't think it comes with a speaker phone. This means you need to pick up phones like normal cell phones, or by the handfree cable. Risks might happen when you hold it near your head because HongKong OFTA (Office of the Telecommunications Authority) just suspended its Type Approval license on 06 March. I would guess this product was not officially certified, but used certification of other product. Check it out by yourself.

Notice of Suspension of Type Approval
(Certificate No. RF201008)

Having a reasonable ground to believe that the conditions for granting the type approval have been breached, the Telecommunications Authority decides to suspend the type approval of the equipment below :-

Manufacturer : Ohfish Communications Inc.
Brand Name : Ohfish
Type Number : Ohfish I G900/1800
Equipment : Handheld Portable Transceiver
Category : Digital Public Mobile (Cellular) Radio Service

With immediate effect, further sale of the equipment may be liable to an offence under Section 8(1)(C) of the Telecommunications Ordinance, Cap. 106

Sorry, I can't tell you any more about the Ohfish phone but I can answer your last question.
Palm COO Alan Kessler's keynote at PalmSource Forum Europe 2001 included a demo of the forthcoming UbiNetics' GA100 GSM clip-on phone. The GA100's release date, which was originally scheduled for January 31, has slipped to March.

OhFish finally has its name for the device. I only realized it when I received the device through ordering, and I have been showing off with it among my collegues at work. Hoho!
Well Ohfish charges by using a charger that comes with it. I actually fin dit quite thoughtful of them since this is more of a device for people who travels a lot. I mean I do not bring my cradles around when I travel, why would i need it if I do not want to bring a computer while traveling. Well I guess it's different for everyone.
I think what i like about the product is that I originaly used the MIK by Palm through infrared. However with the infrared, it is not as convenient as it looks to be. Well my point is that I can use the MIK software along with the OhFish V51 by changing some of the simpe settings, so I get to keep my original information.

I am one of the user of the Ohfish V51. I bought it on 16-Jan-01, and I've been facing a problem with the device as well as the comapny.

I've been informed after purchasing that the first log of the shippment is so call the pilot run unit. They didn't explained the meaning of that phase. However, they advise that since it is the pilot run unit, there will be a problem on the unit.

Problem 1. Caller has a Echo problem when they call to the unit.
Problem 2. bad connecton on the built-in ear jack socket.

They promised that a replacement will be made upon inspeced. Soon after they received they replied that the warrently seal is broken in which I am 100% sure the seal is perfectly Ok, and I didn't open the unit in any aspect or reason to do so. Anyway, their main purpose is to refuse the replacement as they promised before I send out.

Right now, I am forced to do whatever they said so, as my device is in their hand. I have been told that the device will be repaired for me, and kind enough to waive the repair charge.

What's a nice company they are!!!!

Does anyone has the problem mentioned above, or I am the only un-lucky one.

You can place order for one at the Ohfish website.

I don't know who you are. But yes, I am Simon but not working for any Palm-related Industry.

This is the comment on what I've been experience, and I hope someone could share my experience. If you need any prove on this issue, I am happy to forward one of the dealer working with Ohfish, in fact, they know the problem on this device as well.

I wonder you are the staff from Ohfish. Please don't try to cover up the mess you'd been created.
This would make the thing ever bigger and bigger.

It is not available in Singapore yet. And since its license has been sespended in Hong Kong, I think you can only buy it in Taiwan. You may try to order from ohfish web.

OhFish have announced the m50x version (tri-band) - I actually saw it at CommunicAsia in Singapore a few weeks back. It will be shipping soon I believe. They are also soon to announce the GPRS version - available towards the end of the year...! :-)
