HUllo Guys,
This is opened only for the accessories which can fit o MDA Compact IV (P3702).As all the threads here alk about HTC diamond but no body talks about DA Compact IV acessories.
As evry one know and who don't know that there is big difference in the shape of these phone,so one's accessories can't fit to other.
Diamond has diamond type back and Compact have plane sexy back.
Has anyone found invisibleshield,silicon rubber case and 1800mAh battery then please list here.
May thanks

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:
http://www.expansys.ch/p.aspx?i=166204
that cover wount fit on your xda diamond!
check this post to compare the backsides: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2605740&postcount=19
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........
I've looked everywhere, but can't find a decent carkit/active-holder for my MDA Compact IV.
I've tried the 'Brodit Active Holder for the Touch Diamond', but it doesn't fit due to the rounded corners.
Is there an active-holder for the MDA Compact IV?
Hope so...

That's interesting and helpful. www.brodit.com certainly reckon they have an active kit for T-Mobile Compact IV, but after your post I checked to see if this was a different part No from HTC Diamond, and sadly it was not.
I was just about to order one too. Does it just not fit well, or not at all?
EDIT
Hang on a minute, what exactly are you saying.
On inspection of the part number 968843 or 971843 I can't for the life of me understand how the rounded corners would make any difference.
From their website
Item no. 968843 fits:
HTC P3700 For all countries
HTC Touch Diamond For all countries
O2 XDA Diamond For all countries
O2 XDA Ignito For all countries
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV For Europe
Some more feedback from you would be really helpful

Not at all! The salesman (at the pdashop.nl in The Netherlands) tried to place my MDA Compact IV into the Brodit active holder, but it wouldn't fit at all...
I hope there are other active holders for the MDA Compact IV...
Maybe CARCOMM or ADAPT active holders

I'm not looking for an argument here, and I fully understand that you went to pdashop.nl and the salesman could not get the Compact IV to fit, but is there the slightest chance that the salesman did not have the diamond/compact IV active holder (in other words the htc diamond would not have fitted either.).
I understand that the compact iv has rounded edges, but I believe the USB terminal is in the same place. I also believe that they are the same thickness and width. The design of the Brodit (of course I'm just looking at a web picture) does not indicate that rounded corners could cause the problem.
I have not compared diamond to compact iv side by side, but in your opinion where was the problem. I can only think it must be the side holders.

On the box, I saw that the brodit holder was for the Touch Diamond, there was also a dummy of the Touch Diamond in that store, and I held my MDA Compact IV next to it. The back is so much different. Everything on the Compact IV is rounded and maybe just a little thicker...
From the specs
TM Compact IV 101 x 52 x 12
HTC Diamond 102 x 51 x 11
I have spoken to the following company in the UK
http://www.dsldevelopments.com
They assure me that the HTC Diamond brodit kit is fine for the TMobile Compact IV. They actually fit a comparable phones into the cradle prior to offering the unit on their website.
I mentioned your issue and they said that normally when this kind of thing happens, one would find that the unit itself was faulty. Apparently the cradle itself is hand finished [his words not mine] and sometimes a rogue unit can be manufactured. So his belief is that the diamond would also not fit into that actual unit.
From the specs on the previous post I would be almost certain that a tolerance of 1mm would not be the issue.
Anyway, the company above do export,and the cost of a telephone conversation should not be too expensive. Call and speak with a guy called Dave or Alan (sorry I can't remember).
However I suggest you go back to pdashop.nl and try another unit.
Hope this matter will be resolved. I can't quite make up my mind which fixture to choose yet, so I am not in a position to order.
However if mine does not fit, I have been promised full refund.

THANKS a lot!
I will go back to the pdashop.nl to try other active Brodit holders and let you all know the results!
anyone know a cheap site to get these from? i priced it up and it's gonna be like £45 with the car mount also, and this was from http://www.dsldevelopments.com
I ordered the Brodit proclip from Morpethmobiles for £14.95 delivered and the Brodit passive holder from www.qfonic.com for £16.95, both prices included delivery
The holder is for the Diamond as I couldn't find a dedicated mdac4 one, but reading around the consesus is that it they are the same
I'm just waiting delivery. Morpethmobiles has taken a while, but then again they have probably been under water for a week!
just ordered this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Dia...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
I've got a Carcomm CMPC-129 MOBILE SMARTPHONE CRADLE HTC TOUCH DIAMOND P3700. It fits perfectly for my MDA Compact IV.
http://www.carcomm.nl/carcomm/websh...ProductId=57F3F689-5056-8659-086FE80C261B4BB7
hey there, any chance of a pic of your compact iv in the cradle?
I'm not doubting you at all its just i'd like to see how it fits in and relate that back to the promo pic you posted with the diamond in to see the difference.
Thanks
Damian
I bought a Brodit car cradle with 3 in one adapter that fits my O2 Ignito perfectly. Got mine from Expansys UK but there are a number of websites that sell it, just google it for the best price.
On the Brodit.se website there is 2 different versions of the passive holder:
848843 - this looks like the standard 'Diamond' holder
848862 - this looks similar to the 'MDA compact IV' as its also got rounded corners on the phone!
I recommend car holders from German company Herbert Richter. Everything is made in Germany si you can expect quality to be great. There's a wide selection of suck mounts with replaceable dedicated mounts. This way I've had the same holder since vario II. plus Touch Diamond dedicated holder is a good fit for compact IV. You can get them on eBay or from expansys.
a nice one if you want your MDA compact IV in landscape mode.
from Ebay
I have used HR-parts on my previous PDAs as well. While HR does not provide holders for every device on the market, what they offer is of good build quality and works just fine.
They have been a long-time OEM-supplier for HP/Navigon-bundles.
Have fun!

Maybe this will do? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463753 bought is for 25€ ok its a lot of money and to start sawing in such a item isn't something what makes it better but whit a smal multitool you can make it fit as you can see in the obove mentioned link I made it fit a 2000MAh battery and that need much more space as a MDA Compact (never thought I should help someone with a %$%&*^%#$#@@$%^^ T Mobile account)

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
