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

No, in the original o2 rom its not possible to change the colour.

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

Hi all
I bought my phone yesterday and it arrived at 8:50am this morning!
very happy with it so far (although having problems with wifi internet access) :evil:
Anyhow, I don't want to break any forum rules (so if you're an admin and this IS breaking the rules, please remove it and I'll find out that way).
I looked around for a good deal and the above was VERY good compared to everywhere else.
Not sure if this is old news to everyone on here but if it's not and you want the details (and it's not againt forum rules) let me know and I'll post the details of where I got it from.
Please note that I am a CUSTOMER and am in now way affiliated with the company from whome I bought the phone...or the network either!
Cheers
Wayne
That sounds like buymobilephones.net to me. They've go the same good offer too.
Although if your a very light user this is tosh at GBP439.99 a year inc phone.
Where as O2's O2 leisure time plus with 100 texts + Promo 12mths for GBP20 a month and GBP99.99 for the phone is alot cheaper option for GBP339.99
Guess what i went for and I'm still using my old Genie SIM.
yep, that's where I got it.
Not sure where u got ya figures from though...as I'll be downgrading my tarriff asap - and I didn't have to shell out £99 for the handset
Each to their own though
Cheers
Wayne
If you look on their site you'll see other tarriff's where the cost of the phone increases when your monthly bill decreases.
35(line rental) x 12(months) = 420 + 19.99(phone) = 439.99(TOTAL)
or
20(line rental) x 12(months) = 240 + 99.99(phone) = 339.99(TOTAL)
You have to be careful as some tarriff's can not be downgraded no matter how much pleading you do.
Not this tarriff.
Take a read on the FAQ section followed by the TnC's for both BuyMobilePhones.net and O2
Cheers
Wayne
This may sound like a stupid question but is there any diff between QTEC 2020i and XDA IIi? Spec wise they look identical is it just branding?
Also the Himalaya forum description suggests that the O2 XDA IIi is an updated Himalya called Andes however the Alpine forum description also suggests the XDA IIi is an alpine. Which is accurate and is the XDA IIi seen as an improved Himalya? If so is it a matter of time before the Alpine will have WM 2005?
Sorry to bombard you with questions I am just in the middle of deciding what to buy and the QTEC is favourite if the spec is the same as O2 XDA IIi.
TIA,
JamieT
The QTEK 2020i is the XDA IIi, the only different being the firmware, which you can change to the XDA IIi or I-mate PDA2 versions.
If you get the Qtek 2020i I do recommend you to upgrade it ASAP.
Other than that the only noticeable difference is the writing on the unit and the leather pouch.
Hope that helps you JamieT.

Why upgrade it?
I've been running on the standard firmware since I got the phone a week ago and I've had no noticeable problems with calls, general functions or BT (using Sony Ericsson HTH-600 headset).
Apart from that, I would know where to start with upgrading...roms, radios...it's all gobble-di-gook to me
Cheers
Wayne
I found mine to be unstable, but then again mine is a month and a half or so older than yours so they may have updated yours at production.
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll be ordering a QTEC. WRT upgrading I noticed that buymobilephones.net had posted some qtec rom upgrades as free to all, do you mean that typw of flash upgrade?
Just another quick question? Is the QTEC / XDA IIi seen as an upgrade to the Himalaya (XDA II) as the sales guy (and O2 website) says it is better spec. But when asking about upgrading an XDA IIi to WM2005 using th Himalaya instructions one reply back implied the XDA IIi is inferior (the comment went along the lines of putting a Lambourghini engine - WM 2005 into a Jaguar).
Does anyone know if someone is working on a WM 2005 rom upgrade for the XDA IIi QTEC 2020i. I guess I should wait until it is out of warranty before I attempt this anyway so I can probably wait a while.
TIA,
JamieT
As far as I know WM'05 is not possible yet for XDAIIi/2020i/PDA2

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

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 ?

Hi, My device is HTC Victor P3702. I think P3702 model is different than P3700 model. Like design and ROM version? Anyone has P3702 model stock Rom. Please share us all things about P3702 model. Code name is DIAM200.
Not yet,Victor aka 3702 and Diamond aka 3700,are total same, just different design.You can easily flash Victor rom to Diamond and Diamond to Victor and all will fine

Yes soft touch much better than plastic and it looks better
Does the Victor has Accelerometer? It is supposed to have less memory than Diamond is it true? Do TF3D Works well?
It does have the accelerometer and it does have the same amount of memory as the Diamond.
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH. This has been answered already.
Its the same phone under the cosmetically different skin.

Did they ask you to return the phone and are they replacing with new one ? . Is this official news ?
They haven't asked for mine back.
I received mine on the first day of launch and I was pleased it didn't have any orange crap on it. If they are recalling then it must be to flash em with the late arriving orange ROM.
(UK)
I've had mine a few weeks now (having got it through Phones4U rather than direct from Orange) but haven't heard anything from either company regarding a recall.
Something to look forward to!

They are probably trying to trick people in to sending them back so that they can put the Orange Bastardware ROM on them...
Maybe its to fix the crappy 3g reception
This news is rubbish ill be happy to let you know.
Its more likely someone misinurperting what happened at our warehouses.
We tried to load Orange software on them, they failed quality checks and we reloaded generic software on them so they could be released for sale.
There is deffo no recall!

About as good as the T-Mobile software maybe. Orange send thier Diamonds out without the value-added crapware. Have T-Mobile put thier crapware on thier Diamonds? I would be well p*ssed of if I got an MDA Compact IV to find out that they had replaced the cool-looking black 3DTF interface from HTC and replaced it with a corporate in-yer-face pink and white one.
Edit: Just watched a YouTube of a Pink and White themed MDA Compact IV - nasty
A friend last night told me about the recall, as he works for an indpendant phone store. They have had the unbranded diamond recalled because they are over heating and going pop.
Im just waiting for orange to call up now and ask for it back.

Hi all,
Please excuse my ignorance, I have searched this site for this question, but not found it... Sorry if it has been posted previously.
I am looking to buy a HTC Touch Diamond, but am I worth getting the Orange version (original?) or the O2 version (XDA Ignito)? The only difference I can see is the back cover and some additional software which the great people on here have far superior anyway ... Am I missing something?
Also, are the older versions (see site at bottom) still available? - the ones that have 128MB RAM instead of the advertised 192MB?
I'm looking to get this handset from a cash-back site so expect that they may be using old stocks... Is there any way to tell without opening the box (so it can be returned without question under the distance selling regulations)?
Thanks for any help.

I work for O2 and i've used our demo version of the diamond quite a lot and I also own the Orange one.
I bought the Orange one off ebay instead of waiting for the O2 branded one and I have to say the build quality on the O2 seems far more solid. The buttons feel sort of.. firmer.. and the back is much nicer than the faceted one.
I wish i'd waited for the XDA version to be honest =']
Hi Sherby,
Thanks for your comment I can't see how there could be a difference with the buttons or build quality, I thought that would have been something HTC created not modified by O2... I appreciate the back cover as it just slides off... Will have to pay Orange and O2 another visit Thanks!
Aubs
Also.. the O2 version is slightly more glossy around the edges than the Orange one which is just matte.

Ahh ok. Don't think I'm that bothered about the glossy or matte though, could put up with either
Any idea about finding the hardware version?
Thanks again

I have the o2 version, simply because I didn't favour the original diamond shaped back. Device information page attached...
Thanks for that GanjaBlood - I was considering the same, but if you can just remove and replace the back facia then it isn't really an issue... They'll be on fleebay soon!
The Ignito battery cover won't fit the Diamond. The corners are different for starters.
