Hi all, not that I usually post but I thought id just let you know some info 'hot off the press' as my friend works for HTC... HTC are now going to sell there own devices web site :
http://europe.htc.com/
You will also see a new 3g device : http://europe.htc.com/products/tytn.php
The HTC TyTN AKA Hermes.... my mates had this on test for quite a few months, apparently Voadfone will be having this device soon as there new 3g one...
Anyhow... lots of new info to keep you lot happy.....
happy world cup!
I only hope this won't be the end of i-Mate.
Qtek and i-Mate were the only manufactures to deliver these devices besides telco providers.
Now that HTC takes over Qtek, they can rule the market, and push i-Mate in a corner.
I'm afraid that it won't be a fair competition.
i've been told the hermes (v1605) will be shipped by Vodafone UK from 10th July.

HTC didn't take over Qtek; Qtek has always been HTC's own brand! Same with Dopod which HTC has aquired recently.
Wish us ATT users can know if it's going to be picked up or the x1 :\.
north american version has passed your ffc fcc? federal communication ...

99% sure this device will be on AT&T. Some prominent member informed me that they have a AT&T touch pro ROM

Well I don't know whether to be happy or said :S and i hope the X1 wont outperform it.
I can only assume, AT&T will need to have their own "uniquely named" device and not the vanilla Touch Pro the rest of the world will enjoy. This in itself will add 6 months to any official release date of the Raphael in North America. I hope I'm wrong.
I will snoop around on my side and report anything to this thread with any positive news.
Lol, I would say they're that bad , however i can imagine them releasing it sometimes in Q4 (October-ish?) or early Q1 of next year.
I thought CDMA version is coming out first for Verizon. or was it for Sprint... I read it somewhere in Engadget or BGR.
this will be called tilt II for at&t. this is a rumor i heard from a friend from at&t wireless side.
Why does the US seem to get this stuff last? I blame it on the carrier cartel that refuses to adopt the mobile phone industry models the rest of the world has.
If the only experience with HTC i had was my wizard, I'd be all over the Raphael. I paid 588USD for the tilt (off-contract) and get the shaft from them. Now, I'm up for a phone upgrade, and I'd really, really like to get my hands on this device, but I don't know if I trust them anymore.
Still LOOKS kickass, though.

tmobile ftw along with the diamond
Isn't the Raphael/ Touch Pro missing the GSM 850 freq? I thought AT&T uses GSM 850/1900.
Seems like it's made to be a T-mo device. (GSM 900/1800)

That hos nothing to do with it. Verizon, Tmobile, and all the US carriers can pick up the phone. Whether another carrier decides to pick it up or not doesn't mean that ATT wont.

I will prove you wrong in a couple of days.
By your analysis that means the T-Mobile in the USA would have the MDA Vario III which they don't.

there is a rumor that the missing band can be enabled by a radio firmware upgrade!

I would be VERY surprised if the Raph couldnt be sorted out like this, remember the Hermes didnt have necessary bands for telstra in AU which was eventually sorted with a hack to allow the necessary frequency to be used.
Details details people, if AT&T were going to use it i imagine the bands situation would be trivial, im sure they are going to carry it.

Why would they call it a "Tilt"? The Touch Pro's screen doesn't tilt like the Kaiser does it?

You and I can hope but I'm 98% sure you're right. Trends point to AT&T releasing this sometime next year, as to not disturb the X1 and without the front facing cam. Right now it seems like Sprint is going to get this first as they're getting the Diamond sometime in September.
OK well lets just say in a matter of days we shall see if AT&T WILL be carrying the Raphael..............or not.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows whether HTC offers non-camera variants of its [newer] cellphones. As usual, not much turns up on google as companies don't usually advertise (or even list!) such variants. Currently I own an Elfin running Onyx 2.2 firmware obtained from this forum, but soon I'll be starting work in an organization which prohibits all forms of cameras. It's a shame to have to ditch the HTC in favor of those cheap $60 trash-phones which do nothing save transceive calls and SMSes. (...and not to mention a significant inconvenience as I'll have to buy a separate pda/laptop etc.)
take it out yourself?
i saw someone asking the same thing in the raphael forums, because he has the same dilemma. said he took the camera out of his tytn ii
Cingular 3100 WM5(6.1) smartphone doesn't have a camera, instead of Cingular 3125 (the same but with camera)
Is there a forum for the HTC (AT&T) Fuse or P4600? I looked down the list and didn't see one. Looks like the Raphael is the same but it is a CDMA phone on a different carriers.

AFAIK, XDA doesn't usually separate models with different radio chips. There will probably be lots of information about the Fuse in the Raphael section, so that is your best bet.
at&t fuze(aka p4600) is the samething as raphael
head over theere and have fun
Hello everyone,
I am new to the phone tweaking world while I am an IT technician, I going to visit friends in the U.S and I am planning to buy an AT&T HTC FUZE.
As some of you probably know the prices in Europe are kind of outrageous so I want to buy it from there.
My question to anyone who can help is whether I can flash the AT&T software and put the native HTC on, or at least do something for the software that can make it fully function with my network (Cosmote) in Greece.
Thank you in advance for the help,
Yes assuming ur willing to buy the phone full price and then have a friend with ATT get the unlock code for you, or buy an unlock code. You do not need to reflash the radio because the Fuze has quadband EDGE and triband HSDPA unlike the European Touch Pro. You can however flash a custom ROM which will work with your carrier. (The stock ROM will work too but in my opinion, the ATT one is slow)
The fuze is the htc touch pro aka diamond which is what you will find it under in the forum
here is a link to the rom section if you are interested in flashing a new rom

but before flashing you may want to check here ...it a guide to flashing your first rom

EDIT- you may also want to sim unlock if you are going on a different network.....
