Does anyone find it odd that the S730 is still not listed on HTC's website under Support? The Touch Cruise, which has not been released yet, is supported.

LOL. You have the Orbit 2, right? Different software than the HTC Touch Cruise, I believe.?
It is in Europe
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/htcs730/support/
So S730 is available in the US?
Must be only in Europe. On HTC.com, it is listed, but not supported. HTC also has a separate website for the US...HTCAmerica I believe. But that is only for US mobile company branded phone support.

I have one in Boston. I bought it from Mobile Planet, which is the U.S. branch/affiliate of Expansys. HTC sells it for a bit more through www.htcphonestore.com.

What will be the price of new kaiser 4550 in india
India it will not b released as there is no word on 3g networks..in case if it is released, then it will be quite highly priced say around 35k..but as far asI know, no plans for this phone for next 6 months in India, you will need to get them from USA, singapore or HK probably..

Thanks for the info buddy
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Hello people.
First of all is it available in the States?
Second, if it is, will a Kaiser bought from the States work ok here in Europe and with my provider? (or if not, is there an unlock for this yet?)
A friend is going to the States so if #1 and #2 above are ok, I might try to take advantage of the currency rates.
Thanks.
i might be wrong, but i thought that the kaisers in the states are imported from europe anyways

This is correct. All U.S. Kaisers are European imports at the moment.
Good Place to pick one up.
Try MobileCityOnline.com they have nothing but European Kaisers that include TomTom and have no issues registering on the HTC site for future support! I highly recommend them!
ok people, thanks, I'll look into it
Does this make sense to anyone?
and do you think its more of a 3g lock vs actual hardware difference?

Indiaplaza.in has it listed here:
http://www.indiaplaza.in/mobiles/ph...nufacturer-warranty-laptop-usb-light-free.htm
for Rs36,499 with Airtel lock (whatever that means). The specification looks like a copy paste from the htc website and has 3G specs.Not sure whether both will be available for different price ranges- they are claiming delivery in 15 days.Anyone here from Mumbai or Delhi- Can you check Heera Panna/Palika Bazar ? In Bangalore -dealers are telling 15 days -1 month.Airtel call center does not have a clue about what HTC diamond is.....

38k. wtf! i dont think so!!!!! i think someone is playing the price there. dont buy until u have some other confirmation. btw ur right abt the last part. keke. i went to global access arnd commercial street and also national market near majestic, and guess what.....these guys dont even know what htc touch diamond is....i was like.....kekekeke...cos global access is listed as an official retailer for htc in india
any luck
Anyone ?? Any luck with locating the Touch Diamond in India?
The elusive diamond
On the HTC India site, it says that "The HTC Touch™ (sic) will be available through Airtel in top 25 cities across the country at a maximum retail price of Rs. 27,500.00 (inclusive of all taxes) and all authorized HTC resellers.
http://www.htc.com/in/press.aspx?id=49180&lang=1033
I tried calling some of these authorized retailers in Mumbai and none of them had a clue when it was going to be released nor could they even confirm the 27,500 price. Didn't bother calling up Airtel customer care as I'm sure they would be even more clueless.
A salesman at Alfa, probably Mumbai's most popular mobile phone retailer, expected the handset to retail at 40k. Indiaplaza.in is also listing it at a list price of Rs. 40995. Although I wonder if they really have it in stock.
So has anyone in India got hold of the diamond and/or is able to confirm the 27,50 price?? Please let us know!

wooooohoooooooo. something i can happily afford. those retailers are trying to get the advantage of the initial release. but d*** them i wont pay an extra cent more. keke. and probably after 2-3 weeks the price will get arnd to 28k most probably. 40k??? wtf!
btw been to garuda mall @ bangalore today and Global Access here is an authorised retailer of HTC products. and damn!!! they had no clue. muahahahahaha! abt whats diamond???!!!!

no dude, i tried commercial also @ global access. same no info. and abt a week ago i tried national market. dudes there didnt know even. keke. same thing happened while touch was released. keke. u live near where dudes?!
I am in Bangalore . Talked with all the folks you did and national market. Only national market guy told 1 month. All others dont have a clue including Sangeetha. Tried RT Outsouricing also who are the local distributors for HTC , they told they will get back to me. This was on last Firday- no news since.Let me know if you can find out anything better-
Friends who have bought an Official Diamond from HTC outlets, please let me know which ROM version is being sold, as worry is the UK stock was supposedly witheld for a ROM update.. Are we getting updated ROM or not??
Also mention the RAM and ROM reads from Indian versions..
look at the diamond rom section here. There are 1.34 and 1.35 rom updates posted. The latest rom anyone has seems to be 1.37 - i expect it will be posted soon.
Thanks someone1234, but i raised the question because the Indian Version is going to be different - Non 3G version, hence the ROM versions may be different...
Hey does it mean no one's as yet bought a diamond in India???
Is official sale in India started or not???
safe to say that...
ppl that claim they have bought have yet to respond and claim from where and source...
so probably no one has it yet
Diamond In India ! Yipee !
I got the diamond yesterday in India for 35k that is about 900USD. It is not official, does not come with a warranty. Seems like a HK version piece to me. The ROM version is 1.35 WWE, Date 05/28/08 - Since I got it I have run advanced config on it and tweaked it by increasing cache size. It is noticably faster now.

from where? and what city are you in ?
The Indian Diamond is supposed to launch on the 27th of June afaik.
Its different from the EU versions, uses the MSM7206A processor with no 3G radio
HTC India
the processor on my instrument is Qualcomm 7201A and I have upgraded to ROM version 1.37 WWE. This device also has 3G, I am guessing the official indian version might not. I am located in Delhi and bought it from a dealer here.
Thats not the offical version then.
id rather have the one with 3g than without
I bought my 3G Diamond here in Delhi for 35 Grand its HK version i think and paying 25000/- for non 3g one ...i think 35000 is a good deal.
same here soulpilot, good to have 3G should be getting launched in India in the next9-12 months anyway
Guys, any other difference (other than 3G) between the processors MSM7201A (Worldwide) & MSM7206A (Indian) ??
Not as far as I know. Only difference in the Radio implementation.
One major negative in buying the 3G in India is most HTC service centers will refuse to even touch your phone if theres any problem with it due to the incompatible processors. Some might oblige but most wont. Taken my singapore HTC to the service center the other day for a panel switch and was talking to the service guys about it. He said most of the service centers wont touch any of the 3G diamonds.
i hope the cooked roms work equally well for the indian version as well.

Ok in that case then any european country will have them ie UK i know definitely has Diamonds now with the newest rom unless you want to try ebay but im sure most of the Diamonds on there are the grey imports ie older roms with plenty of problems.

thank you, Mr. Spawn
Its probably cheaper for you to buy one from HK. You can upgrade the rom anyway.
Look on ebay, or just google!
