Will HTC be releasing a version of the Touch Pro for the United States, or will I have to go get the Xperia X-1 to have the nice, VGA HTC goodness over here?
Well first you search...but sure go ahead and buy the Xperia X-1 they will both probably be coming to U.S. around the same time...of course the Touch Pro will more then likely be released on Sprint so CDMA only at first.

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

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
my 8525 broke a few months ago and i reverted to my crappy old nokia e61...the treo pro is coming out in a couple of weeks should I get it or do u guys think i should hold on until the at&t version of the touch pro comes out as I need US 3g.
The Fuze! See this thread for the latest pro's why: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417844
Xperia X1i hands down..
I am thinking of ordering AT&T unlocked version of htc touch pro. I am little confused. There are so many version of htc touch pro? I am looking for cheapest version and I think it's unlocked HTC fuze. Now, is there a way to remove all those AT&T shortcuts and get a normal(original) HTC touch pro phone?
The ATT version has a slightly different keyboard on it to the other varients (numbers along the top are removed and are accessed by a FN key - replaced by symbols)
I'm looking at doing a similar thing to get a Touch Pro, ATT seems the cheapest way of getting one but from memory it's about $50 more with other carriers that use the normal keyboard.
Yes, that is the case with keyboard but I don't mind really. I've found that I can latter install other rom and get original HTC touch pro, something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444784
@hidden_hunter, is there any other version that will work with GSM providers worldwide and has original HTC touch pro keyboard?
You will want to get the HTC Touch Pro T7272 (European Version) over the AT&T Fuze because there is a descrepency inbetween the US (Fuze) 3G Bands and the European (Touch Pro T7272) 3G Bands.
I am thinking about selling mt Touch Pro as mentioned in these thread replies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466685
If you're in Australia I think ATT's 3G bands are the same as Telstra's so it should work no issues, others might know more (I'm with Virgin mobile who since being totally bought out by optus seem to be becoming worse and worse value) So you would need to check if the frequencies are compatabile (make sure you don't buy a CDMA version for instance)
I live in Bosnia. Would Fuze work here?
Check your PM. I sent you details.
Hmmm so I called O2 today because I wanted the above phone, but been told they have been discontinued :-(
Anyone know of a good phone that is a good replacement? I really like the features of that one with the slide out Qwerty keyboard and such. I currently have the XDA Stellar/HTC Kaiser.
Appreciate any advice!
Thanks very much
Touch Pro 2 would be the equivalent device as slide out keyboard and the next model up.
They don't have that model :-( any others come to mind?
It looks like the only windows mobile phone o2 are currently offering is the xda zest (Asus Galaxy 7).
The HTC Leo is rumoured to be coming soon, but it may be a bit of a wait for one with a keyboard. You might want to consider a sim only deal and look to purchase your phone from elsewhere.
-edit-
T-mobile have the Touch Pro (named MDA Vario IV), and offer very good unlimited internet.
