To cut a long story short, i dropped my xda2 in the toilet at work!
so went home and claimed it on my house insurance and i now own a lovely spvm2000 but im left with this xda2 thats been down the pan, the thing switches on and it all appears to work fine except its black listed, obviously coz i claimed on insurance so i will open it up and sling the pcb in the bin, unless anyone wants some componets from that, but i shall not be selling the phone complete or the pcb seperate. so for sale i have everything else here is a list of what i can think of
fully working screen with no scratches
houseing(scratched but back cover is fine)
4 styli (3 in original o2 retail pckaging)
all the box with instruction and sw cd
leather case
aluminium case (scratched)
Genuine Battery
Cradle
thats all i can think of atm, if u want any of it just make me and offer, dont want much for the stuff as its just sitting there redundant now and not being used!
if u can think of anything else that came with the phone that ive not listed let me know and ill let u know if i got it!

Before you throw the board away it will work in other countires, maybe somebody has a knackered motherboard in usa and could use a replacement.
well its still a blacklisted phone, i know it will work in america or other countries but its still illegal, i know it was my pohone that i flushed down the toilet but still illegal to sell it coz it blacklisted so ill just sling it and sell the other parts of the phone
slung it yet?
Hello, I'm interested in your tft display. mine got cracked, and I'm not about to pay the outrageous replacement pricing that the German T-mobile wants...
you'd save the day (month, etc.) if it's still around. By the way, I'd also be interested in the accessories like cradle, pouch belt clip, sync cable, etc. they seem to be designed to last 6 months, and if your belt clip croaks over here (Germany) the telekom suggest that you buy a new leather pouch, "which comes with a new belt clip" (***holes):evil:
all the best

Hello NeCrOpHiLiCaT
I see your post is some time ago but maybe I have some luck.
I need complete housing for xdaII,but maybe for precautions I'll buy some other parts or maybe all your xda2.just tell if is still available.
Still got the cradle?
Hi,
I am also interested in the cradle, do you still have it? Thank you.

Hi I'm interested in you mainboard with speaker . Do you still have them?
First of all HTC backtrack as they are now too stingy to include the pouch for the diamond with the phone itself.
Then nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE has any of the damn cases in stock. I placed an order with Expansys and now it says 25 days estimated wait for delivery. No other mobile vendor has any in stock and are only taking preorders with no ETA.
Just what the hell is going on? Who is going to put a touch diamond in their pocket with no protection? Why were HTC not prepared for this?
Anyone know of any place that has one in stock? Im based in the UK. I dont want the one with a belt clip.
my diamond has no scratches and is always in my pocket.
maybe coz im careful not to put anything else in the pocket i ahve my touch diamond in
get a rubber case of ebay
i have had one on my trinity for 2 years now
the phone still looks like new
or you can get something like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Krusell-Orbit...hash=item370066715175&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318
Well I rang Expansys, and just as I thought - they have over 600 backorders for this. Which leads me to ask again.. were HTC not prepared for this??!
I can understand your complaints..but..
have you considered sth like that? That's what I got:
http://wmexperts.com/reviews/cases/review_golla_parrot_case.html
It's fantastic + can be used as a wallet too
I got the green camo one for 15 euros.
probably O2 Germany bought all of the first production. They sold much over 1000 diamonds, all WITH the HTC case.
The case is very nice and worth waiting for.
not before 22 days at expansys for me
Do they have the right to delay like that?? How can I cancel my order, I can't find the option on their website?
Ordered this on Monday. Arrived this morning.

A bit expensive, compared to the HTC case, but I'm happy with it so far. Very nice construction and materials.

Looks really great!!! It's a pity the black version is currently not available :-( I have to wait. I think those cases are better than the original pouch
The are indeed very nice (beyza case). It is lined with a velvet type material which helps clean the screen. I have no idea if cleans better than the OEM case, but its better than nothing.
Also...it is a pretty tight fit, so I don't know if a extended battery would fit. If anyone has any questions they want to ask me about the case, shoot me a PM.

My Orange UK diamond came with the official case/wallet for the handset
I bought me again a pytom leather case. Swiss top quality. I had them already for the Tytn2 and liked them very much.
Go and check them out: I got mine within 2 days. But I live in Switzerland. They use very fine leather and inside it has a material that cleans it.
I got myself the Cosa Nostra, nice one!

I purchased this one from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-LEATHER-H...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
But I am only using it temporarily until the Krusell case comes to expansys.
BTW have you taken a look at the "Bloody Mary" case! LoL
https://pytom.ch/de_CH/f/htc-touch-diamond/mobile/simple/bloody-mary/
I ordered a pdair case as it looks gorgeous and there's not too much of a 'lip' near the control panel. It's also got a removable belt clip. The free pouch is pretty useless anyway unless you want to have to keep pulling out and putting back your phone every time you want to use it. I went for a flippy cover as they're more practical (hence not 'free').
The only truly decent 'free' case I've ever seen with an HTC device is the one with the Advantage.

You cannot find any diamond cases in the UK because HTC decided to screw over offline buyers and give all the cases away to Orange customers.
I finally managed to buy one of those HTC diamond cases. It is pretty nice but don't confuse it with the one on youtube with the release mechanism (pressing the two edges and the diamond pops out). The HTC case doesn't have that. In addition you can you can insert the device in the case only from one side. The other one is blocked by a something like a cloth rubber stripe (not the best explanation).
Even though I had some concerns regarding how steady the device would be in it, the case actually holds it really firmly.
No, it's not my Polaris, christ no.
Anyway, I've got one up for offer; no box but it does come with screen-protector already applied, plus car holder, felt case, stylus, battery.
Condition is mint, it's unused, no scratches, scuffs or damage of any kind.
SIM unlocked and running stock WM 6.1 (yes, I have Hard-SPL'd it)
check PM

i am interested
how much

Well, I wanted a case for my N1... and found the Amzer-Rubberized-Black-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case... it looked good and so I ordered it from the amzer website... hxxp://amzer.com/Amzer-Rubberized-Black-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P86573.htm
my biggest mistake... recd. it 16 days after I placed the order... after constantly nagging their customer support... and the product is miserable... poor quality... does not snap together properly (very tight fit... too tight!!!)... the inside is very rough...
should I get a replacement... well, I'm thinking not... I'll land up wasting more time and money... and get one more unit which will be just as bad...
My advice... stay away from this... get something decent even if you have to pay more... something which is good quality and fits properly!
Amzer and Fommy.com are joke retailers in my opinion. I ordered a case from them, a hard case, which in the pictures on their site showed that it covered the front bottom portion of the phone completely around the trackball. It looked great in the pic as it showed it protected every exposed area of the phone except the screen and trackball. They charged $17 + 5 shipping which I though was a bit high for a hard case but since it covered the whole phone I thought it was worth it. After waiting 2 weeks for delivery what I got was totally different than what was pictured. It's a hard case that covers only the outer front edge of the phone like a crystal case. Not worth more than five dollars on eBay. I went back on there site and noticed that the small image of the case still looks like what i thought I was ordering but if you hover your mouse over the image a larger image appears that is totally different than the smaller. This image was changed after the day I ordered at some point. I talked to a CSR (Fommy.com) and they had no idea what i was talking about and said they would need to look into it and get back to me, that was a week ago. I e mailed Amzer about it and they never responded back (Partner site). The customer service rep did say i could ship it back at my expense. WTF. Theives and con-artists. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them. Pass it along.
Terrible product...don't even deal with them again!
I just got a similar product from bargaincell via amazon and it does not fit. Granted, I only paid $6 (including shipping) I expected the case to at least fit. It looks like a bad mold. The cover for the face of the N1 does not totally match cover for the back of the device. Four of the five snap on clasp(I hope thats the right term) on the inside of the top cover match the bottom cover. It just one thats out of place therefore its keep the the top cover from snapping completely shut. Bargaincell's invoice states they have a no-hassle return policy.....I will find out if it holds true on Monday.
Well, I decided to contact Amzer regarding the crappy case... got an e-mail back from them after 2 days... they told me to mail it back to them along with a $5 re-shipping fee... WTF!!! I pay to send it to them and I pay the shipping fee for the new one as well... absolute rip-off!!!
STAY AWAY FROM AMZER AND IT'S PRODUCTS!!!!!
I got stinged by them too. They even had the guts to charge me a 15% restocking fee, and I had to call them up 2 weeks later to get my refund because they "forgot" about it...
Amzer and Fommy, avoid like the plaque.
ordered this on friday and got today .. nice case over all better than other cheap cases on ebay. am sick of ebay sellers for cheap cases of no use. finally this is better than other cases that I saw
I've been looking around for a replacement housing for my G2, it's pretty knocked up (bought it 2nd hand), had a look at faulty used phones and official replacement housing, but both are surprisingly expensive (you wouldn't believe how much people pay for an old waterdamaged phone with an unrepairable screen and dents left right and centre.
Anyway, I've seen a full housing (minus screen/ glass) by Ecell which is (quote) "New Genuine ... For HTC Desire Z", previously it was £300ish on eBay, I've now seen it for under a tenner (still direct from Ecell).
Thing is it's black, so the use of the word "genuine" is questionable (do they mean "genuine" Ecell, or "genuine" HTC?), although in the description they say "Official HTC product". Also I've never bought anything Ecell before.
I just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought one of these replacement housings, or anything from Ecell before? Feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Best I have found is about 40$ for a full housing replacement OEM, if considered it the past but haven't been able to justify that just for aesthetics. I recently stopped using my dock and just use one of the original T-Mobile cases I fond for a few bucks (thick rubber, bulky but real nice) since then I gave up on pretty.
Never bought from ecell before so I couldn't attest to their reputation
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've seen the E-CELL product on eBay for about 10 pounds and it seems a good price for it.
However, while I'm not sure of its' quality, for that value I'd be willing to take a risk and see what's it about.
@demkantor Thanks, according to Google $40 = £25, and official HTC housing goes for around £30, which is absurd 'cause that's well over half of what I paid for my G2. I don't fancy a case, the Vision is already thick and heavy without one (can you even use the keyboard with a case on? )
@geojoking Yep, that's the one I found, previously £300 (wtf?!). Unless anyone highly cautions against Ecell I might go for it, besides as you say it is less than £10 so probably worth the risk. Anyway, if I do get it I can post a review here !
you can slide it fine, i would prefer not to use one but im running low on spare phones at the moment and i dont mind the bulk, but yes definitely bulkier!
i believe the original leaked photos of the g2/dz were of a black model or at least real dark grey. supposedly there is some mystic black version that is near impossible to get a hold of with a different bootloader then all the others, it had a different name but fell under the vision still i believe... cant remember much about it
so that would mean its possible these are genuine and being they were once 300 that may mean that ecell had them since the very beginning as when phones first come out parts like this tend to cost more than a new phone! they could have gotten the original casting and colors prerelease to the public... just a thought
either way for that price go for it, if it turns out not to fit not a huge loss, if it works great then you have one of the few(if any) black visions!
i would suggest getting some 3m adhesive tape (2mm?) as moving the digitizer will require this as well as holding down the flex. let me know how it turns out! maybe ill try it myself
I saw these a while back, almost bought it but was sceptical of the quality. Really wish I did now..
