strange, as there is at least one member with an MDA V, he posted photo to prove it (look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517114 ). So it seems the MDA V is available right now, at least in some countries...

Can confirm for germany. Available since two days.
Yes I think the MDA version has only been released in Germany so far.
When I spoke to T-Mobile UK they also said it will be released for Business customers before it is available for personal users.
Hey, bought it from T-Mobile (Germany) on Wednesday (20.05.2009) and today I received a small package from T-Mobile
I didn't think I would get it so fast, but I hold my brand new MDA Compact V in my hands right now I'm VERY and ABSOLUTELY satisfied!
Thanks T-Mobile!!

The T-Mobile overseas always seems so much better to me than the UK counterpart. You guys seem to have a faster and more organised release dates of new handsets.
No MDA Compact V available (to me anyways) here in the Netherlands, still waiting for mine.
It does not always work so good
The Diamond was available 1 month after their official release date and they always told me: "The device should be available in some days"... so I had to wait a long time.. as u guys now!

Here the same.
Ordered May, 20th at 16:41 Hrs, arrived May, 22th, 15:20 Hrs via normal DHL-serice.
Very nice deliverytime.
Yes, no hassle in Germany. Ordered mine two weeks ago to make sure I'm in the delivery cue. Received it Monday May 18th by DHL. First I was pretty shocked about the size of the device. Compared to the Diamond 1 (aka MDA Compact IV) it is HUGE.... Not so much length and width, but that thing is one hell of a thick sucka... reminds me alot of the Touch Pro sizewise, just without the sliding keyboard. My beloved Diamond 1 feels almost tiny compared to it. But anyway, feelings do grow slowly I guess, once that ugly magenta branding will be gone Hard SPL rulez!!!!!!!

I had 1 in my hands last week in the T-mobile shop in Eindhoven, but the original TD2 looks so much better, so i chose for the original one instead of the MDA V. At first i thought i want the MDA V badly because it looks good on the photo's, but it isnt true when you see it in real life.
I called T mobile (upgrades department, UK). They said it will be available from 1st week of June and will give me a call when it is out.

Found this post on CoolSmartPhone.com from funkstar(uk)
I had a phone call this morning from T-Mobiles upgrade team and he said the Compact V wasn't due for four or five months!
Got a £15 a month discount on my old Flex25 (£60 or credit a month) tariff instead of an upgrade. Might need to call them back once this has been confirmed as being available.
Either that or I just buy a handset from DeviceWire.

Called T-Mobile service, they told there was a mistake with the order and I should receive it within 5 working days.
Lets see what happens..
T-Mobile
I bought my Diamond2 on the day it was released from mobile phones direct on a T-Mobile combi 30 tariff with web bolt on for £35/month, free phone, 18 month contract.
Very impressed as it arrived Saturday morning.
Less impressed with the rigmarole you have to go through to try and transfer number from T-Mobile to T-Mobile... ended up just telling everyone my new number.
Cheers, Rob.

A pal at T-mobile uk cs says September release on their network. And a likely £120 supplement (with severe haggling in-store). This could all change though - it depends how much HTC want to charge for them.
p.s. is the screen still QVGA? not keen to go back to that....however if the camera is as good as on my Ameo then I'll be rather happy
I should Wiki that really shouldn't I...
I do doubt that it will release 'on time.' The 8525 was rumored to have a release date of August 2006, but didn't release until mid November. The 8125 and Treo 750 both slipped many months. WM devices just don't get approved that easily on AT&T/Cingular.
I wouldn't be surprised it the 9825 slips until at least Oct. IF August was the initial target date. This is just my speculation and assumptions.
I see that the T-Mobile UK website now as a "coming soon - expected September" entry for the Kaiser, but when I emailed customer services about when we could expect it, all I got was a "when you can buy it on the web site, then its available, but not until then" type response.
Does anybody know when T-Mobile UK will be releasing this puppy? I want one
Are you on T-Mobile already? They're selling them through the upgrade department now (I ordered one yesterday). Can't say what their plans are otherwise though.

Thanks for the info, but I'm currently with O2 for my phone. I have a 3G card from TM, but its not due for upgrade yet. I guess I'll just have to be patient (or else fork out £450 for a SIM free one.).

Check my thread here for all the info!
If it helps I spoke to Craig in their upgrades dept. I just asked him about the phone and he said it's already out. He checked his sheet of available phones and confirmed it was there, then said he'd double check with another department and would call me back. 10 minutes later he called back and said yes, they're available now and I'd get mine sometime next week.
Now I'm all excited and can't wait for it to arrive!

But i've just come of the phone from the TM upgrades dept, spoke to a nice lass and she said it hasn't been released yet, she said to call back in a weeks time as she said they may be released then. She made no attemped to offer me another phone so I kinda believed her and we ended the call there.

Negative Not Phone yet
The phone have not been release yet, they don't even have a release date i believe the Upgrade Dep. because their objective is keep clients, so we have to wait.
Hmmm, I guess we'll see what happens next week then. I'll let you know as soon as mine arrives, and there's nothing by Wednesday I'll give them another call.
Just got off the phone to "T" the chap I talked to seemed very nervous and when I asked about an upgrade he was all "mmm oh, I might not be the best person to help you but I'll see what I can do, but if i can't I'll find someone who can", seemed a good bloke, but it must have been his first day or something, anyway, playing on his naivety, I coxed him through the system and he confirmed that there is no date or price on the system for the VarioIII yet.
Having dealt with call centre people for many many years I have no reason to doubt this fella, but come on T-Mobile, it cant be far off now!

They'd better not be, as that's what I ordered first. My phone conversation went pretty much like this:
Me: Hi, I spoke to you about half an hour ago and ordered a Vario II upgrade?
Him: Yes, I remember...
Me: Well, I was just looking on your website and I notice the Vario III is due out this month.
Him: It's already out!
Me: Really?
Him: Yeah. Just let me check my sheet here... Yes, it's here, it'll cost you an extra £30 over the Vario II.
Me: Awesome, I'll do that then please.
Him: OK. *pauses* Just let me double check it's definitely available. I'll call you back in about 10 minutes?
Me: OK, thanks.
10 minutes later my phone rings...
Him: Hello, just letting you know that phone is available and I've ordered it for you. It'll be there next week.
Me: Fantastic. Thanks a lot.
And that's it! Unless the guy was lying to me, it seems like I'll be getting it next week, although why he'd feel the need to lie I really don't know. If I end up with the Vario II, I'll be calling him straight back and sorting it out.
Like I said though, I'll keep you posted as to what happens.
Edit: I just thought I'd point something out... This guy originally phoned me about upgrading (he knew all of my details, including my last bill value, so was definitely from T). I can only assume that the upgrade dept that calls out is different to the one customers call themselves. Either that or I've become the victim of a pretty elaborate scam!

vario iii won't be out until late october or later down this year thats what I have been told by t-mobile so I end up getting a simfree kaiser. It could be hoax call or someone from different phone organisation tricking you to get an upggrade but will end up been a new contract to them.
If it is a hoax or a different company then I'll find out soon enough. I've only told you exactly what they told me. It seems everyone that asks is getting a different answer at the moment, so maybe I just got lucky. I don't know what else to tell you other than watch this space!
Any joy on this yet?
I know 3 people waiting to get their hands on the Vario III.
They should have just bought a SIM free one like I did
Scratch that.
I just called T-Mobile business in the UK and the guy said that they will release the MDA Vario III hopefully this week!!
Mine hasn't arrived yet, although the guy quoted Tuesday at the earliest so it's no biggie.
Called CS again this morning, and was told, could well be first week in october. At that point i said i may as well get my code and leave tmob. to which i was then told actually should be this week .... Hmmmmmm...
I was quoted "Coming in October" when I spoke to the upgrades dept.
Hi, Do any one knows when it will be launching on t-mobile uk. Any idea my upgrade is due, but t-mobile UK do not have any clue about this mobile and some of them do even know about it.

Hi everyone
Any news on the UK release? Any insiders know when O2, T-mobile, orange might be releasing it?
Thanks!
The only thing I know about is that HTC have given a "worst case scenario" date (and everything generally is a worst case scenario with them) of the 23rd of June for the unbranded (HTC branded, to be specific) version. I don't actually know whether or not the delay that has affected the unbranded versions will affect the branded versions (i.e. O2 XDA Diamond, T-Mobile whatever).
First stock was delivered on Friday but I missed that order so my order is being delivered on Thursday. Getting really excited now. Wondered whatg i should do with my aging tytn?

Hope you havent ordered with TotalPDA. They're TotalLYERS
Fortunately not. I am (hopefully) getting mine from insight. Getting worried now though due to so many people getting stuffed by other suppliers.
I pop into an Orange shop yesterday and the fella there said that it popped up on they're intra net as a 'coming soon' last week. And that it usually means its out within 6 weeks, fingers crossed we've only got 5 more weeks!
im waiting for orange too
i just check the site and there is nothing on the comming soon for the diamond
i hope i get mine before i go to hong kong for a holiday (sept)
not to say that ill also be looking at what phones they have to offer there too
ARGH! SOB. Just spoke to my supplier and he told me the uk dist has pushed the delivery date back to July! B*ll*x. Might cancel the order now and just wait for the Touch Pro

July is pretty bad - especially considering the fact that the orignal release was planned for early June. I'm getting quite worried now that I won't get my Diamond for ages...
But I won't consider the Touch Pro unless the Diamond's release date is pushed all the way back to within a week or two of the Toch Pro's release date...
I read on a blog that orange will have it June 22nd.
I personally prefer the O2 design, with the rear panel that won't catch finger prints and the blue touch flo style.
I spoke to 5 O2 stores in and around glasgow, and not one of them agreed with any other about the release of diamond, ive had everything from "never heard of it" to "christmas, cuz we don lese ones ight new" (translated for normal folk, he said they dont release phones at ths time of year and it'll be more like christmas)
in short, no one has the first foggiest when O2 will release
Got mine...
Got mine from expansys. It looks like they are the only site with actual stock. Arrived yesterday and even came with a free DECT/VOIP phone - which I will probably never use!
Its a very nice device, although Opera takes a little getting used to. Was a bit concerned about battery life, but second overnight charge seems to have sorted it out.
Horse
Insight is my supplier. Looks like even Expansys have changed it to 25June this a 13 day delivery time. Why do they do this to us?
This is exactly what happened with the Cruise and one of the reasons I decided to bite the bullet and pay the extortionate Expansys prices.
All you guys still waiting have my sympathies, I know what it's like.
On the bright side of things though I can assure you all it's worth waiting for. Once you've tweaked it that is
Be Carefull

huge problem? or the problem is that its an import?
Its conclusive now that expansys are selling the grey imports - its not just a theory - i thought everyone knew already!
Anyway you can return (distance selling regulations) and avoid any restocking fee because its not as advertised - they 'suggest' its a UK model.
Guys, how can I tell if it's a HK import? What to look for on packaging and/or device? I heard it finally came to Bulgaria and gonna go check it out someday next week. How to make sure it's the EU model?
register it with HTC club ... look for EU plug charge ... maybe ROM difference - not an WWE but customized for Bulgaria ?
I mean before I buy it...
Well just as an opening thread for now... ordered the HTC Diamond 2...should be with me next thursday all being well
Release date is 8/3 from memory so if they ship out on the same day...
Have explained about the returns etc and that I would want to turn it on/mess about to test out before formally excepting it... the company are fine with this as long as its in re-sellable condition along with packaging etc.
Things I will test that my current Diamond (first edition) has really annoyed me:
1. Both ear and loud speaker volume (and I know about the hack that in the end simply distorts the speaker)
2. Touch screen - how much does it compare to the iphone...iphone nipped it in the bud with their screen in how good it is in responsivness...you can literally touchtype on it...the Diamond even with the hack is still not as good and sometimes annoying if its too sensitive.
3. Battery life
4. Quite important, it's compatibility with my Audi bluetooth kit - current one displays missed calls/dialled calls/entire phonebook etc on my Audi screen.
5. Any sort or genuine windows slide to answer/slide to unlock? S2U2 is great but still has a few annoyances which is perfectly acceptable given that its free, someones spent a lot of hard time on it etc
I think thats my top 5 really - my threshold is if 2 of the 5 fail, its going back.
One of the items that must pass is point 4.
Will report back when I get it!
I just ordered mine yesterday too. Can't wait to get it...
And about Battery life and answer/slide unlock you don't need to bother, it's fine and in the Diamond2 it's a better battery!
The only thing that bothers me is.. that there's no D-PAD. I hope we're going to get used to it...
Orderd mine today too. Now the waiting begins...
Curious about life without dpad too....

Where did you ordered yours? Cause I live in Belgium but I am not sure what site to order, I think pdashop.be or something like that. I am born in Holland so I got relatives that live there,so maybe it could be easier to order it and send it to their adres? The release date was the 14the of April right? Can`t wait I already sold my Diamond and are currently using an old Samsung D900
I'm from belgium aswell, been looking into it, i think our cheapest (doesnt say much for how early u get it, but cheap is what counts for me!) option is http://www.belzaak.nl/preorder/HTC/6972/HTC_Touch_Diamond_II_NL/
delivery to belgium is like 13€, making it a whopping 41€ cheaper than pdashop ...

You guys are all lucky bastards , haha just messing with you guys, I am trying to sell my Fuze right now so I can buy a Diamond 2, anyone interested
I am curious to see if Diamond 2's speakers are going to be better than my current Diamond. If it's as good as Touch HD's, then it'll be great. Also, will it come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, cos lots of new apps require that. Will be checking this thread on and off before the set becomes available in Malaysia. Last question - price - cheaper than Touch HD?

Also, will it come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, cos lots of new apps require that. Will be checking this thread on and off before the set becomes available in Malaysia. Last question - price - cheaper than Touch HD?

The Diamond 2 will most likely come with Net Compact Framework 3.5, as for the price... yes it will be cheaper than the HD, according to Expansys - the Diamond 2 will be $125 usd cheaper.
I just ordered mine as well. My supplier said it was supposed to arrive yesterday, but its stuck with customs. Im anxiously waiting for his call today, if not tomorrow. I wonder if i will be the first in the world to own it (that is IF it isnt an april fool's joke!)

I ordered mine at pdashop.nl, it's expected to arrive on april 10th. I ordered other things from them before and never had any complaint. They also do very well consistently in the tweakers.net shop review. They do indeed have a belgian equivalent: pdashop.be.
For me, service is important. I have owned both an E-ten PDA and an HTC PDA. Both have had problems and have been sent RMA once. If a repair is needed, I want that to happen quickly and without trouble. I would never buy any grey device. But that's just MHO.
At a Webshop here in Switzerland it says "will be available approx. early April".. I guess it's coming on the 10th of April aswell.
Can't wait to replace my HTC TyTN II with a Diamond2...
I ordered mine from here http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1868/ I can't wait for it to arrive, life without a D-Pad is gonna suck but it still beats the hell outta having an Elf-in !!
india
i frm india any idea which site to get it frm and tell can i get any version or all are the same pls help im a noooooooob
thanks guys
I don't know where to buy in India. However, devices sold in different countries have different ROM's. If you buy a device with a language different from your own you would have to hard splash it and upload a custom ROM from XDA or an official HTC ROM in another language. You'd be screwed if it would break and you would need to have it repaired under warranty. Then it has to have the original ROM it came with on it.
