I got one on launch day. In short, by far the best WM phone ive ever owned... very nicely built, stable, lots of memory, bonus GPS (seems as good a SIRF3 chipset to me...), good reception. TMob obviously give the best tarifs for data, and their customer services are lovely and helpful.
Not sure if the TomTom demo came on the CD or on the rom - i suspect the CD, so im guessing no to the tomtom question
Go for it - you wont be disapointed

You don't get the full TomTom with the HTC version anyway - it's just a "tryout" I believe.
I love my Vario 3 - best WM phone I've owned. Enough memory to not have to worry about closing things down, (mostly) quick. Lovely bit of kit.

I have the T-Mobile Vario III and I flashed HTC rom. T Mobile rom doesn't have TomTom 6. Flashing back to HTC rom will not help since it's (TomTom 6) not a part of the official rom.
Search and Read the wiki for more details. Also Pof has given a very good step by step method to HardSPL your device. See his post and if possible read all before you flash new rom.
Good Luck

I believe the Tomtom App is full it is just the map that you will need to purchase as they only give you a demo of a map that you have to download when registering.

thanks
Thanks for the speedy reply guys.Will have the Vario III in the morning.
Will make sure i get the insurance just the case the cooking goes wrong.

You need to do a bit more looking on their home page.. "Can I get Go on my phone?"
"Yahoo! Go now runs on over 270 phones worldwide, including many Windows Mobile Devices. Check to see if your current phone works with Go."

Are you sure?
When I go to download it, it just says Yahoo Go 3.0 is not yet available for my phone. Did you do something to get it?

working fine for mine. sorry if it was old news.

I was looking last night and all the HTC devices were still on 2.
If you have 3 handy or a link to it that would be great.
Being in the UK often delays things too as I get redirected there rather than any US sites.
It came out for Symbian on the 7th I think.

HTC is under the "Yahoo Go! 2.0" column on the page you are refering to (http://mobile.yahoo.com/go/phones;_ylt=ArcrSOd9h7FpdTdqNX5znv5ltQcJ) not the new version 3.0 Beta column that this thread is referring to.

i apologize, for my quick jump. Unfortunately its still not for our phones yet. damn those yahoo slackers. they make it for the nokia n95 piece of crap my wife has but not for the kaiser yet. that was intelligent.
oh well, sorry for my premature e-post-ification.

to bad the 3.0 for HTC is not out, I want to get the ebay widget.

O2 XDA Diamond sighted

Hi!
Just found it on the website of O2 germany.
I apologize, if this had been posted before. Couldnt find it.
http://shop2.o2online.de/nw/produkt...lesChannel=SHOP&articleId=617&categoryId=1120

Hmmm. I wonder if that will come out in the UK. I'd like it to, but O2 might not because they have the iPhone...

I would probably get a HTC branded device anyway. I am wondering if the O2 version maybe lacks that ugly triangle shaped backside...we'll see soon, I guess.

Yes it will come out in the UK. All five mobile operators will have it including voda and 3.

but are there any dates???????

AFAIK July for all of them in the UK

It says June 2008 on the O2 germany site.

I hope it's June. I may well save myself some money by getting an O2 XDA Diamond.

BTW it says TomTom 7 is included with map of a german city of your choice.

How does it do with these o2 brandings on the xda diamond (or more to say, generally the xda from o2) ?
Is there only an o2 theme inside the touchflo3D (like the shot in the 1. post), or anything else ?
Did anybody knows that maybe ?

orange uk say june/july

The O2 version has a flat non-slip surface on the back. Classier looking than the diamonds, imho.

I prefer the other, 'diamond-like', back. Well now I'm definitely not getting an O2 XDA Diamond...

uk orange diamond....i am suprised

got the phone yesterday
had spvs from orange from day one
and orange always messed with the phone with all there added crap...but
with the diamond, they have a little logo on the back.....and thats it
orange...thank you for not buggering up the U.K diamond!

Yes True No Orange related stuff in OS. It is direct from HTC.

Got mine also yesterday and very pleased they have not screwed anything up.
Like the case they have thrown in also.
Hey guy's have you had any probs with 3g or hsdpa with orange.
The fastest internet connection i get is only around 22kps ?

I only get 3G and with two bars . Looks like this needs Radio Upgrade or is it Orange Network Issue.

guys, i too got my phone yesterday and no branding, but this is only temporary; to only beat the iPhone to market. Give it a few weeks and the phone will have Orange branding.
Oh and i've also been told that Orange are now out of stock, so if you have ordered your going to get it, but new peeps, you have to wait for the next 'batch'; (possibly from Orange)

This is very interesting as my phone had no orange customization on either. BUT!
If you look through the handbook ( ON the CD )
Check out the themes and wallpaper shown there?
Also look through the programs that are listed there..
ORANGE downloads
ORANGE tv
ORANGE music.
None of these are on your phone.
Now i`ve spoken to orange on 4 occasions about this. I thought i was a one of and some how they had managed to forget to install said items. But like the man at orange said there should be at least an orange logo when starting up.
So now i`m confused. i`ve just got back from the post office as i`ve sent mine back.
Please can any body tell me if they have an orange diamond with the above items on.

How is it going to get Orange Branding later ?

Mmm spoke to Orange again after seeing the comments on here. Now they are telling me its a generic phone and comes with no orange customization on it. The lady said that the missing stuff could be activated with a pin number from the data and fax team!! This i doubt but who knows?

welcome to Orange!
Their HSDPA network is vastly inferior to the likes of, say T Mobile.
Just a shortcoming you are going to haveto live with until they improve things..

I Thought I Was Blind....
yes i was looking for orange tv...and nothing
can't belive they left MSN messenger on

you can access there tv and video section and others by going to http://orangeworld.co.uk from your mobile
Scroll down the page.

Hi all, i too got my Diamond yesterday. What ROM are you running ? I'm finding mine quite sluggish at the moment.
My ROM is 1.37.405.1 WWE ROM date 06/12/08
I tried to register the device on the HTC club but doesn't recognise the serial number. Anyone updated the ROM on an Orange Diamond yet ?

Mine was a little sluggish until I updated it to the TLR 2 rom and not flies!

yeah the standard rom was slow but TLR is amazing!
but after reading this thread you'd think some of you guys actually wanted the Orange ROM!?

Yep, now I have the TLR ROM the performance is great. The phone now does everything I want it to and all without lag. Very happy.

What is TLR rom ?

One of many

i am still running the default rom and after doing the tweaks and installing the various config files all is running smooth, can you say if the difference in performance with the TLR rom is far superior?

Confused - TyTN version

After months I decided again to go with a Windows Mobile based PDA as a primary phone. The N95 just did not do the job, so, I thought the TyTN II still might be the best choice for me. The old Hermes was the last PDA I owned.
I bought mine directly from NewEgg here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502007
Surprisingly, I already had seen on the pictures that the item does not have a front camera for video phones. Well, this service is not yet supported in the US, so, it just was not important to me.
Now, after I received the item today, another strange thing:
The keyboard does not look like on the real TyTN II but it matches the keyboard of the AT&T Tilt.
The box and all accessoirs match the HTC version rather than the AT&T Tilt version. IMEI and Serial# of the device match the label on the box. It further says on the box HTC TyTN II P4551. ROM version is WM 6.1.
So, my question:
What version do I really have? What do I have to care about in case I want to flash it? Would I have to go with AT&T flashing guides rather than with guides for the Kaiser?
Just trying to sort out the differences - sorry in case this has been asked already before.

Enter your bootloader and read the top line "KAISXXX" (where XXX is 100,110,120 or 130), then look under "Specs of some Kaiser variants" on the HTC Kaiser wiki page.

Well,
I guess this is the AT&T variant then. It says clearly KAIS100 and the keyboard is definitely from an AT&T Tilt (blue FN key and silver number block).
I just wonder why HTC would change the front plate (AT&T Logo) back to HTC, then flashes it wit the generic HTC software and packs everything nicely in a HTC box?

see if you can register it at the htc e-club because the At&t branded device's can't.

Yeah,
I was thinking of that but I am planing to return / exchange for the MWg Zinc II. The lack of video drivers for the TyTN II is quite annoying already by just surfing the web! I am not sure if a downgrade to WM 6.0 would fix that?
However,
attached 2 pictures of my TyTN II Hybrid. Sorry for the bad quality but it is still clear enough. Strangely, even the box shows this device with the AT&T Keypad! It almost looks to me as if HTC had an over-production of AT&T Tilts and now they throw the left-overs on the market as P4551 (which really seems to be the AT&T with HTC Logo and box).

I just now checked and found that you can register for At&t tilt also in HTC club.

The tytyn has a slower processor and uses an inferior gps chipset.
It does have a little more memory but to date I have not had a prob with my 256/64 config. For some reason the data on my zinc is innacurate (pdadb). It says the zinc has a 2.5 mm audio jack (proprietary it is).
Video is easy with core player 1.2.5 b 4506.
