I am going on a holiday to Indonesia and that is why I was wondering if it may be interesting to shop a new phone in Jakarta.
Any experiences with buying a cellphone in Jakarta?
- Where do I have to go
- Are the prices lower?
- Are HTC mobiles widely available
Any information is welcome. Curious what you all have to say
It depends on what device are you looking at? if you're looking such as HTC Tytn II Brand New thatn it's less cheaper than those in the UK.
The TyTN II is on my list
But the prices are the same as here??
I also consider an older model like the Trinity...
Does anybody know which device this phone is?

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
I am getting rid of my HTC inventory, need the cash. I dont develop (but do play with your lovely software and roms) so only need one phone at a time. I just bought the diamond so dont need the...
*all unlocked, boxed with original accessories. No sims.
-Hermes, UK Tmobile branded
-Touch, UK Orange
-Touch Dual, UK Orange
-XDA Orbit (Artemis with extras), UK O2
-XDA IIs with extra cradles and WM5, UK O2
I also have a few dud XDA IIs, a sony erricson k810i, LG Viewty, Nokia 6500slide and Nokia 7600 (leaf phone).
Please make offers. Most of these are rarely used and look new.
I hope I am not breaking forum rules by posting this :S
I take paypal, collection or cheque/cash in post (your risk).
Dear all,
I bought HTC Touch 3G from Singapore based Ebay seller. Now the handset is connected to Australian mobile network. In the left lower corner of 'Today' screen - there is 'StarHub TV' button. Probably the phone was originally ment to be on this Singapore network.
DOES anybody know how to get rid of this to make sure button 'phone' appears instead of 'StarHub TV'.
Thank you!
Ivan
probably software SOFTKEY MANAGER.
I Would think you can probably get an original HTC unbranded ROM for it & Flash it..
This is a real bonus for me, On Orange the Desire S has UMA, I don't see it advertised on other non Orange handsets, so is this feature excluse to Orange, and if I debranded the phone I take it I would loose UMA?
I read on Tmobile forum that Orange is the only operator to support this at the moment.
