Well at last, looks like the makers of all previous incarnations of the XDA (XDA1 to XDA2i an 2s as marketed in the UK) are ready to release this to the world later this year, so I reckon this is the proof that many of us suspected anyway, this will be the XDA3! I guess this also means that we are never gonna get upgraded officially to WM2005 on the 2i or 2s.........hey ho....2003se seems ok so far.
http://www.htc.com.tw/news/index.html
Already announced as the MDA IV too - so the question is, will O2 call it the XDA IV or confuse the easily confused by having a IIi and a III?
I think O2 deliberately held off using the '3' so that they could use it on the first 3g device.
It would make a good name - XDA 3G
looks good..but
the only problem i think i will have is the thickness of it as it has a keyboard and prom the pix it looks pretty fat to be honest. also any1 no exactly when it comes out?..thinking of getting one
tried one of them 2 weeks ago - and it is really big!
bigger than the Blue Angel - and for me as a MDA Compact fan, just not the right device.
I don't want to have a small laptop with build in UMTS.
I want to have a mobile device like the Compact, with a video cam and build in UMTS.
The keyborad and additional space is just grap.
Just take a look at the number of sold Blue Angels vs Compacts/minis - the rate at T-Mobile is 1:4
1:4 it's just the ratio of people that need wifi on their usual day of work vs the ones who don't need it and are happy with something sticking out of their magicians...
XDA3 - MDA4 Unversal etc
Spoke to a contact at at o2 in the UK, and he reckons they aint gonna get the universal...............no idea why as they carry the X phone which is 3G, maybe a licensing issue in the UK, now that Vodaphone - Orange etc have jumped on the bandwagon and stolen o2's thunder in the last year or so....Its a great shame as without the foresight of o2, many XDA users wouldnt have been able to get one in the UK............................Come on o2, sort it, I hate orange and vodafone!
the whole reason O2 messed with the XDA II IIi IIs names is so the XDA4 would be called the XDA3 here, for 3G.
they WILL release it.
Just reallllllly laaaaaate.

no it won't. if me sources are correct, they will imate to market.
if o2 dont carry it then cant people just buy the imate or qtek versions they are as a rule not locked at least my qteks never were then people can put in their o2 sim and all will be well
well I am delighted to have been mis informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like the xda3 (named EXEC) will happen in the uk from o2! sometime in September
PS Thanks to pjcltd and his info!

Surely not in stock, anyone here from France willing to give htem a call to see if its legit?
or even anyone in Belgium since that's where they are based. Someone should give them a call to find out if it's legit because if they have stock it means everywhere else will have stock soonish too...
The only place I've seen with any indication of stock is Play.com who say they'll have it on August 29th...
That comes out at £546 plus shipping, and play.com say £549.99 with shipping...
Apparently expected in around 4th August! (we shall see)

Expansys are also confirming this to be the device aimed at the EU market not a grey import.

Not in stock yet, they have it in stock from 11 august. Expansys looks to be the first on the 4th of august.
Sooner than expected!
Damnit! I need some money now!

Thought it was too good to be true, looks like the 4th Aug is probably an error. Most retailers seem to be expecting it around the end of august.
Hi there, form what I can see, I can't use a cover for the Diamond - it must be an XDA Ignito cover, is that correct?
I've just spent a couple of hours on the phone to O2 and surfing the web but can't find one (I've seen the one from Hong Kong on Ebay, so that's a last resort). Does anyone know where i can get one from?
Many thanks.
I own both Ignito and HTC's version of Diamond and I can confirm that Diamond's cover cannot be used for Ignito. I did a search for you on ebay UK and found this.

Good luck!
Hi there, many thanks kdskamal, I found that cover as well and so far it's the only one I've found. It is very expensive for what it is and so for now it's my last resort only.
Still looking...........
I've been looking too. It has a crappy cover by the way.

Hi there, do you mean the original one is crappy or the one kdskamal refers to is crappy?
there are XDA Diamond/Ignito Covers on Ebay for 9€.
I ordered on, will see whether it fits.. the pictures are very promising, as it is the O2 version and not the shiny HTC Diamond oem cover

I'll be having a look, there weren't any a few days ago, or I couldn't find any anyway. Can you post a link?
seems they are only on ebay.de (Germany)
but they are shipped from HK, thus there shouldn't be any problem
http://cgi.ebay.de/R898-Gehaeuse-Ba...temQQptZDE_PDA_Zubehör_KM?hash=item25572dcbcf
mine shipped today.. but it will take 1-2 weeks until it arrives via HK Post.
Thank you very much indeed for that, gonna get one of those.

The Sims 3 game was specifically made for the Vibrant. Go to the market and see if you can buy it.
hey, I really like Chromatics skin Carbon Fiber one
do you know where it is possible to buy it in London, just in the shop, but not with ebay or something like that?

it's just a matter of time, before some one dissects it, and makes it available to the entire world

hey guys...
just wondering, is the HD3 out yet?
cuz I saw a store selling some cases for it in my local shopping mall and it looks pretty sweet...
and I don't remember it being released so just wanna ask
p.s. yes I know whats the HD7 and HD2 is and Im sure it wasnt any of those... looks like its got a bar of hardware buttons like the HD2, cept running WP7 (so 3 buttons)
cheers
Well I think the news related to HD3 were fake. I do not think its released as of yet!
thats strange... how'd they managed to get moulds for the cases if the phone aint even released yet?
I'll see if i can grab hold of some of those cases...

it is likely that a tipster within the company is where said 'cases' originated
HD3
If it look like hd2 with Windows Mobile 7 maybe its just a hd2 with a ported WP7? sorry if i had misread your post. But i'm pretty sure there is no hd3 (cause hd7 is suppose to be the predecessor already?) defective cases trying to pass but i dont see making sells there...
a picture tells a thousand words......
i'll see if i can take a pic in the upcoming few days or weeks
The HD3 is actually the HD7. HTC had intended to call the current HD7 the HD3 but was pressured by MS to call it the HD7 in reference to WP7. That's why you see all of the current WP7 phones having a "7" in there name or model number.
yess I know what the HD7 is and Ive heard all the rumors about and seen it in action personally...
but the main point I started the thread is that Im not believing what I saw the other day on the store shelf, selling HD3 cases placed right between the HD2 section and the HD7 section....
could be my mistake though, dont get your hopes high yet, and hopefully they are still there
