Does anybody know which device this phone is?
http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/eyes-on-with-t-mobiles-mda-compact-iv/
Most likely its an HTC, but it looks like the polaris but its even better.
Why would they release two similar phones so soon after each other?
T-Mobile Shadow. Cheers!
It could be HTC Pharos I think....
but 4 GB storage? Hm....
actually it is the htc touch diamond but it's the germany tmobile version known as the MDA compact 4. T-mobile and HTC are now working together to make great mda's. And if you don't know htc was making the diamond but with a full qwerty keyboard and they were going to call it the raphael but t-mobile is going to call it the Vario 4. The Compact 4 is coming out in "Germany" Next month(July) for a not yet determined price and the vario 4 will be released in autumn for Germany. Well i hope this helps and i hope Europe releases those phones to US soon or i'll be very upset. lol

That's a "Victor" rather than a "Diamond". Same device, just different casing design!
I checked T-Mobile UK customer services and they say that T-Mobile UK is expecting MDA compact 4 in July 2008! So we may get this device in UK soon!

Awesome! Now all we need is the MDA Vario 4!
I went into a T-Mobile shop to ask about any release date and the sales staff just looked at me blankly and shrugged their shoulders!!

I hope they sort out the aledged 'laggy' response on the screen graphics of the HTC Diamond I have read about in some reviews...my advice is a 'hands on' test of a real retail version of the device in the store before handing over your cash
the compact 4 is being relesed in uk sometime before september (my tmob contracts due for upgrade then so i got the details of new phones outta their upgrades team earlier this week. - and it IS a diamond with tmob badges

Diamonds (HTC Touch Diamond that is... not the compact 4) are available in the UK as of now, i dont get why it takes tmobile so long to simply rebadge the diamond (its quite minimal from what ive seen).
I am on a tmobile contract with my HTC TyTN, but i plan on using the upgrade for a handset for the Mrs, i like the look of the Raphael anyway (HTC Touch Pro..........Vario IV).

I think the Compact IV is a Victor (no Diamond effect stuff) rather than a Diamond (P3702 rather than P3700).
I guess operators want to try and get the most money from the current devices before making money from the new ones...
The T-Mo phones do have a redecorated TF3D though...
This is MDA compact 4

Fellows,
Good news!!! HTC Europe website has posted/announced the 3G WM5 handsets - HTC TyTN (a.k.a. HTC Hermes/XDA Trion/MDA Vario II/iMate JasJam/Qtek 9600) and HTC MTeoR (a.k.a. HTC Breeze/Qtek 8600). For details, please visit the HTC Europe website:
http://europe.htc.com/
Cheers!
Of course the Europeans get this before the States, so ridiculous, so usual... :roll:
So for those who really understand these things... once it is unlocked, this will work in the US on Cingular right? Because this looks like it is going to make my 8125 look like a horse drawn buggy...

Its only because we (Europeans) are not out looking for weapons of mass disstraction and thus have more time to play with our new toys.

I am not agree this . HTC was made all PPC in Taiwan , and Dopod sell HTC PPC in Asia , now HTC own Dopod , HTC had own company in European that's why you had new PPC early than others , we will see in the future is Asia or European get faster, :lol:
The states always got later than European because US carriers ony two carriers had some of HTC PDA and in states we dont 3G ,why we can get 3G phone early than European or Asia ? :?
WM5 3G
[/b]Seems Asia and Europe will get the new 3G at the same time. Financial news in Taiwan this morning reported 2 models from HTC which looks the same as those being circulated in Europe. To0 bad the US is somewhat lagging in releases like this. Maybe madmonkey can get some imports once it's out
think eu is a bit more mobil crazed then us are
at least last year (or was it the year before)
more sms's was sendt in my country then in us
not talking pr. person or anything.
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.
Question for t-mobile UK customers, does anyone know if or when t-mobile is going to release a new version on the MDA Compact III ?
I went in and asked just before xmas and the shop assistant said they were but I think she was getting confused with the touch dual. I've since gone in to another shop and they said they have absolutely no information on it. So at the moment the answer is they're not getting it.
Why don't you upgrade to a N95/Kaiser and sell it on ebay, then use the funds the buy a touch cruise? That's what I'm doing (although I've bought a TC before I can upgrade )
Sounds like a plan!!
Touch cruise killer

Not exactly, but please see this

I'm planning on ditching Sprint for ATT or T-Mobile because I cant get any international texts. Sprint claims its an issue with the international carriers. However, I was with T-Mob for years with the same number and I got tects from, England, Ireland, Germany, Nigeria etc.
Anyway, does anyone know of a good unlocked HTC PDA phone that will work with ATTs HSDPA(yeah I know about the tilt but it sucks). Any ideas please?
if ur willing to suffer for another month or two, the new Diamond is coming out for tmobile, which (except for battery time) is gonna be a whole new breed of ppc. if ur willing to switch to tmobile then yay for u, especially since tmobile is coming out with new 3G thats faster than ATT. if not im sure that there'll be a way to unlock it within 2 weeks of release. anyway good luck.
I've been eyeing the HTC Cruise(Polaris) lately. Actually I've spent the last 3 hours researching it and i think I'll make the jump. It's gonna force me to go to ATT since it will only work on their 3G spectrum.
It might just be me but I'm not intrigued by the diamond. The only upside is has above the Cruise is the today UI, which I'm sure wil be ported over as a cab once the diamond is released.

Well the diamond also has a faster processor and 4x the resolution screen as well as more ram compared to the Cruise.
www.expansys.com sell unlock phones in many countries
and diamond dont have 4X resolution it got 2X
if it had 4X it would be a 1280x960 device
Tragedy has struck! The Touch Pro I bought overseas has died on me : (
Since this was an overseas purchase there isn't a warranty and I've already had a local shop look at repairing it (they can't).
So, I'm in the market for a replacement.
I'm now living in San Jose, CA and have given some serious thought to:
a. an HTC TP 2
b. an HTC HD T8285 (get the 3G to work in the US).
I absolutely love having a keyboard ... but maybe I could do without. Since I've had neither of these phones in my hand, I'm not sure what direction to go.
Any advice on the technical side ?
---Rob
tp2 is ok, it's a slightly better tp. Not 100% worth the upgrade.
If you like the hardware keyboard, don't change. you'll be very unhappy when u go software. go for the tp again.. Atlest I would.

HTC Touch Pro2 is much better. Touch HD just had 3G and headphone jack.
Touch Pro2 for alot of productivity - keyboard
Touch HD for alot of fun - headphones, 3G
worth the wait?
I 'seems' like a US version of the TP will be available in August some time ... I could probably borrow a phone from somebody for the next few weeks. Would it be worth the wait for a US version vs. the International version? I have never used 3G so I guess I won't miss what I've never had .?.?.?
well since you are in the US, you might as well get the US version. the international one works just as well since there isn't any serious changes to it. And 3g works on both. Once you try out 3g's speed, you'll be surprised
