Does anyone know where I can buy a Diamond chassis / original (diamond-shaped) battery cover? This is for the original/unbranded & Europe version of the HTC Diamond, if it makes a difference.

i have purchased quite some stuff there, they're quick and reliable

Hey folks, i just received a email that expansis has shipped out my 1340 mAh battery incl a new cover. This could mean that the battery is finally availiable in germany! looking forward to test it!
is this battery shipped with the backside cover? If yes, is this cover fitting on a O2 XDA diamond?
Hi! I own a o2 XDA Diamond, and yes it is shipping with a fitting backside cover! Here is the link to expansis, remember this is no ad:

Sad to hear this man... has anyone a link to a product 1340mAh or 1700 mAh with a cover that fits my GERMAN VERSION of the XDA Diamond from o2?
I will receive my battery incl. cover the next days, email's out for me as well. I am curious to see, what is different. I just hope, that one can still use it...
Anyone already tried?
Also got an email from Expansys today, should receive mine on Monday .
have been using the offical 1340mAh battery for 2 weeks now.
it gives new life to my Diamond, I bought a Samsung Omnia because of its big battery and were going to sell my Diamond. But then I found Omnia is not as easy to use (only its camera is better than Diamond). I bought the battery before I sold my phone, and I end up sell the Omnia.
How much thicker does the Diamond get with the 1340mAh battery?
I wonder it is same as Touch Pro since they share the same battery. Why not trying Mugen 1000 mAh standard size battery? It really improves and worth trying if you still prefer slim size of Diamond.
if i remember correctly, the extended battery is +3mm and the original size is 11mm so that makes it 14mm. while the Touch pro is 18mm.
hey. received my ext. battery today.
german o2 xda owners: hands off! it doesn't work in our phone. i mean, it works, but you won't be able to put your cover on. it doesn't fit.
anyone in germany with original diamond in need for ext. battery? 40€ incl shipping to germany
and yes, it makes the "original" diamond around 3mm thicker!
I thought O2 Germany was going to release an expanded battery itself....what happened to that project ? They said "end of August"

yes, the new 1340mAh battery is indeed the same one used by the Touch Pro.
How much help would the extra 100mAh do? not much I guess.
I also have the o2 XDA Diamond (should be with me this week) and was looking for another battery - found a few for the for the HTC but now I know the backs are different this will be hard - I originally thought of ebay - but having second thoughts now
Has anyone got a link for the extended battery and back for the O2 version of this phone please
In Germany I found some threads before the following link for the extended battery for the XDA Diamond:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=173907
But for me it's too expensive, too.
and that is not the original extended battery. it's thicker than the 3mm people talked about. the phone looks hideous with those inofficial extended batteries.
Hi guys, just wonder does raphael extended battery fit htc diamond?
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172018
Anyone know?
it would seem reasonable that it might - it depends on whether the fixing for the back cover is different on the Touch Pro. One could reasonably expect it to be - might have provision for difference in case caused by things like mem card slot etc.
Saying that though, that pic on the website is actually of the Diamond extended battery, so it might look nothing like that and be obviously different!
Yes it does. I did a comparison with my battery and the diamond extended battery kit, and it's the same size.
They are the same battery E270, but need to buy alongwith the battery cover in order to fit the battery onto Touch Diamond.
The point is not about the battery fitting - thats certain as the 1340Mah battery for the Diamond is basically the standard battery in the Raphael. The question is, does the back cover fit? Easy way to answer this is if someone has access to both can see if the back covers are interchangeable (would need to be done without the battery in the phone!).
I would say that the 1800MAh battery for the Pro fits the extended battery cover BP270 (sold with the 1340 MAh battery) for the Diamond. There will be no extra cover for the 1800MAh battery for the Diamond and the cover for the Pro doesn't fit the Diamond.
So you are saying that the 1800mAh battery of the HTC Diamond Pro can be putted in the HTC Diamond with the cover of BP E270 ?
If it is true, that will be so nice !
any news ?

don be happy too fast... there used to be report of 1800mAh (compatible battery) blocking the GPS antenna Signal causing no GPS signal... does the 1800mAh extended battery of Pro have the same effect for Diamond as well?
It is not the battery which block the GPS signal but the battery cover.
I think we can´t use the extended battery from the raphael....
Because on the HTC webshop http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172018&p=tech
They sell the HTC Touch Pro Extended Battery incl Cover BP E272 (1800 mAh, Black/Blister)!!
I think its still bigger then the 1340mAh Battery because that new cover (BPE272) for the Touch Pro!!
And the guys here said that the Battery Cover from the Touch Pro don´t fit on the Diamond
==> that mean we can´t use it on the Diamond (maybe without back cover but not a slution for me )
Bad........
Hi all
I'm just in the middle of a talk with a supplier to get a HTC Touch pro into my hands and i was looking for a bit of advice from some of the early adopters
the hermes was found to develop a few common issues with the first few batches, does this seem to be the case with the raphael too?
also,
If i was to purchase the touch pro today, could i go and swap the back cover of the touch pro with that of the vario 4? (i.e. the 'smooth' cover) i dont really like the whole multi faceted business going on
many thanks
I know the flat back from the O2 variant does not fit on an unbranded device..
Besides - the Vario IV is a different shape from the unbranded no?
So there are 2 versions of the Touch Diamond as for as I know.
The original GSM phone, and the smaller rounder CDMA version.
I want to buy this cradle for the phone,
http://www.smartphonecentral.ca/htc-touch-diamond-desktop-charging-cradle-cr-g300.html
But not sure if it will fit with my CDMA version phone?
Anyone know?
the cdma touch diamond that sprint/telus/alltell has actually has an extended 1350mah battery and battery cover that is about 3-4 mm wider than the standard gsm touch diamond (900 mah) so tread carefully. You may want to look at expansys canada i found this:
http://www.expansys.ca/p.aspx?i=169488
http://www.expansys.ca/s.aspx?update=true&sid=18903305
the charger their is designed for the touch pro so it should fit your cdma touch diamond with room to spare. im actually going thru similar crap, i have a tmobile mda compact IV which is their version of the touch diamond with the slimmer 900mah battery but the look of the curvy rounded cdma TD. i wish htc had just made the curvy cdma touch diamond and square gsm touch diamond with same battery and same back its a pain looking for accessories for the diffrent phones because the back of this one is thicker and the back of that one is slim but faceted, ARRRRGGGGGHHHH. Anyways good luck hope that helped
As per subject, just wondering if all these extended batteries actually fit all the different variants of the Diamond, e.g the HTC Diamond itself, MDA Compact IV etc. I know the covers are different.
Just that the only flat back extended battery I've seen for the MDA C IV is about £40-50. Would be good if someone sold just a extended cover for the MDA and to purchase the battery itself from somewhere else.
Answering my own question (sort of)
Quite a few views on this post...
Just got hold of a Touch Pro and it's 1340 maH fits perfectly in my MDA Compact 4 (not with the original cover of course).
