I'll hopefully have an MDA Compact tomorrow and I'm wondering if changing the ROM to the i-mate sim free one will be worthwhile\necessary?
I'm going to be using it on o2 UK and would like to be able to set things like GPRS up easily etc.
I've searched on here for a specific post about swapping roms but there's too many and I can't find one that gives a simple step-by-step guide... is there a way of doing it with just a few clicks... like an upgrade would be?
Good luck in finding the right Rom. BTW, doesn't the phone already come unlocked in the UK. I bought my MDA compact in Germany and flashed it to English and haven't had any problems.
I take it the ROMs aren't so easy to come across then?
To be honest, I now have it and it's fine... pretty much sim free anyhow.
Can somebody please tell me if they have bought one of these phones in ENGLAND (ONLY INTERESTED IN ENGLAND). A simple answer of Yes, contact details of where the phone was bought and the cost of the phone AND/OR contract details.
HTC TYTN
QTEK 9600
IMATE JASJAM
ORANGE SPV M3100
XDA TRION
T MOBILE MDA VARIO II
DOPOD CHT 9000
XDA XION
VODAFONE V1605
HERM 200
I think that these are all the same phone. (correct me if I am wrong)
Kind Regards

Yes.
Several people have bought the Voda version (from the Voda shop in Watford) I believe.
Personally, I will wait for either the Orange or T-Mobile version (they will look different - better IMO - to the Voda version and will also have a better data package).

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?

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 friend broke his O2 XDA Orbit ][ screen and need to replace it.
But everywhere sold only original Polaris screen.
And we too far from Germany, where this O2 was bought to find nearest O2 service.
Question: is there any _hardware_ difference between O2 and polaris screens? can my friend order original polaris screen and install it to O2?
Thx in advance!
