Hi there all, this is my first post and after a quick search (and please be aware that I suck at the search) I couldnt find any thoughts regarding if one version is better than the other... I am in china at the moment and my l7 is going tits up so I will be replacing it in about 12 hours and I want to get the TYTN II and have been offered the tmobile vario III as well... is there any major difference here or is one version as good as the other? thanks in advance for any help...
It's the same phone.. one just branded by t-mobile.
ok thats cool thanks for the heads up...
Only differnce is the casing is slightly different, the tmobile one looks slightly better
No it doesn't

Well at least the Vario III isn't half pink like my Vario I was! (which is also the reason I got a HTC version this time around )
Thanks for all the replies... Glad to know its just cosmetic and the functionality is still the same... I also prefer the HTC looks to the Tmobile... many thanks to all and off I got to get a new phone... woo hooooo....

Haha I can understand that I've been a very long time customer with T-Mobile and the store I got it both, so I got a really sweet deal, and in such a way it is complete tax-deductable so in the end I really didn't pay anything at all.
For once, I have been able to do something like that If the difference was $400 I am sure I would've gotten a branded one as well! Though do note that at the time I got it, the T-Mobile branded version wasn't out yet, so I didn't yet know if was half pink or not - which it is now clear it isn't.

Exactly, difference is just the price and for the tilt the front cam.
I ended up choosing between €229 for vario 3 of €549 for a unbranded HTC.
And the sneaky part was, the HTC had to be ordered, and the vario 3 was on stock in the store easy choice.. it isn't to bad after sugarcubing the T-Mobile logo.
Ok I have now just picked up my tmobile tytn/vario III/kaiser (depending on who you talk to)... they didnt have any HTC style phones at all where I am at and I went to a few mobile markets to look... so far really really really happy with my new toy... dammit I mean important piece of learning equipment (which is what I tell the wife )... I have just started playing with it and will now change the language to english before attempting any thing else... cheers all for the help...

You'll get used to things here pretty quickly. When I first registered, I was kinda overwhelmed as well but the people here at XDA are awesome and majority of the time they kindly help.
I got to the point where when I wake up, I check the Kaiser forum and the Kaiser Upgrading forum. A couple hours later I check again. Before I knew it, I was addicted to this site!
LOL... yeah I can see how that happens... I have been on here for about 7 hours so far just reading and trying to figure it all out... just did the hardspl thing and now to figure out how to get it to display english as well as Chinese which I gather cant be done unless you use some third party programs like CE Star or Monster Chinese etc... well getting english would be good for now...
just in case this hasnt been mentioned - i got rid of the tmobile branding on my uk mda vario III with a coin. very very simple, 2 mins work, just rubs off and hasnt left a single mark at all.
makes the phone look a million times nicer
dont be worried to do it uk users!
I am pretty ok with the tmobile branding... especially now that I have used it for a bit and seen what it can do... can you marry a phone...?
Hi,

I WORK. for the money
Sorry your phone will be of no use all they did is flash your ROM with the Factory Stock. Or they may have even replaced your entire motherboard if your sister ran over it.
Yeah, thats sounds about right for a mobo replacement and htc does not flash the phone at service, the firmware is already flashed to the motherboard, or so I read.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Are 15 year old kids suddenly not allowed to have a good phone? Who cares how he paid for it?
That said - thanks OP for thinking of the community, but I don't think there is anything anyone can do to extract that.
Not gonna lie.. you kinda got my hopes up.. my nexus has been freezing up on me a little often now.. and i was going to send it in for warranty but I read ur warranty is voided if u unlock the boot loader so now im stuck..

He sent it in rooted and they sorted it though. Ive heard quite a few stories now though of rooted phones with blatantly not software/rooted related problems and HTC being the honourable Taiwanese they are happily repairing the phone anyway [tbh it probably costs more of them to flag the phone, invoice for return carriage, store separately etc etc than just effing fixing the thing.]

Thanks man. thats why i'm on XDA to benefit myself with knowledge and others with my knowledge . but i really need to help who needs their warranty back.i will do my best if there is any possible way.
Age
I'm 15 too and I have a nexus
I think Android at a young age can only benefit the future!
I mean, especially being within this XDA rooted community, a kid can learn.
besides that,
I'm also pretty sure this stupid boot loader nonsense will someday solve itself, thanks for the honest effort in trying to help out the community.

I put a whole year's worth of money into mine.
I'm only 14.
I've dealt with HTC customer service a few times, and it's 100% true they don't care if the phone bootloader is unlocked or not. If you do an exchange they specifically told me that all they do is check the phone for physical and water damage and that's it. They honored my warranty, at least
Seriously guys chill. I'm 15 and I have a Nexus, a Droid (thanks to Google's device seeding), and an ADP1. The Nexus & ADP1 I bought with my own money I had saved up from mowing yards. What does it matter how old the owner is?
Im only 14 and i bought my nexus when i was 13. i worked my butt of to get this phone. just because your young does not mean you cant buy an expensive phone. I mowed lawns, you went to your everyday work. why does it matter how old you are, or how you got the money to buy it?

I'm also 14 and own a Nexus One. It's ignorant to say "your ____ years old you don't deserve this phone". Not everybody was gifted the phone.
Damn when I was 14 I don't think I would have had the will power to save $600, would have kept spending it halfway through lol. Props to all you young guns!
I cant even remember when my kids were 14 years old let alone when I was. Seems like forever ago. Still, I like to see kids earn their toys, makes em respect the investment. Good work young fellars.

+1. I like to see kids work and save to get something they really don't need, but want. It's okay, as long as they don't use them some way that's going to get them into trouble.
But still, I am curious - who gets to pay for those data plans? Buying the phone is only the beginning of the expense.
I was searching on ebay for a 32A and they are too expensive, I'm trying to get an used one, hoped somebody from here would sell me one in good conditions.
Post in XDA Marketplace.. There would also be an assumption that most people here are still using theirs.. That's why they're here.
Post like this in the wrong section clutter our already cluttered work area.

now just have to wait for it to come to canada
I am willing to let go of my Black 32a (TIM HTC 288mb) for $2100 HKD if you are interested. 90% new. Full set. PM me or email.
i have a 32A, cover has some slight cracks in it. but i was going to buy an OEM case off ebay for $30AU to restore it to new. phone was originally black, changed the cover to white. lcd is in immaculate condition, always have a screen protector on.
i live in melbourne australia. the phone is rooted and is running android 2.1 through htcclay's SuperBad ROM.
i'm looking to buy a desire as a replacement
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to accessories
feedback seems ok, if you want I can still move to marketplace
I just ordered my Nexus One at its exorbitant price of $529 and almost chose the engrave my phone feature but didnt really want to wait extra time and it won't be seen anyhow.... I was going to put 'iPhone Killa' and maybe 'F$%k Apple!'.....
Anyways, just wondering if you engraved your phone and what did you put?
i was going to put "touch me...thats what she said" (corny i kno) but reading through the disclaimers on the site, i decided not to
I was going to engrave it as well, but decided not to because of the non-refundable part.
Nope. I was thinking about selling my N1 in a year or so, and I didnt think the buyer would appreciate the engrave.
I almost did, but I bought mine on launch day and feared the engraving would delay my overnight shipment.
Come to find out, it's not an engraving, but a silk-screen type process... also doesn't delay the shipping of your phone.
Now that I have it, I'm glad I didn't do it.
I went for it. *shrug* It was free.
All that is gold does not glitter;

You think that there would actually be someone looking for a second hand year-or-two old phone that would actually pay more than the cost of SHIPPING for it? Not worth selling!
I purchased my N1 on Craigslist for $325.00 about a month ago. The reason it was so cheap? "Michael & Sasha - Always" was engraved on the back.
I personally don't care what the phone says on the back but I'm sure w few people will which means the phone will be harder to sell in the long run.

Or atleast take the phone back
anyways: i hear that the most didn't engrave it at the last minute. Is it because all of you plan to sell your nexus?
I got zKiLLA put on mine
There was a long ass thread dedicated to this back in early January when the phone was released... You're exactly 5 months late to the day.
well im sorry for the useless thread then, but I didn't buy my nexus one in january, i bought it in june
did not engrave incase i decided to re sell.. the nice thing about a no contract plan
wish i had gotten "not the droid you are looking for"
i think that wouldn't have hurt the resale

You could try a Sprint Touch Pro (you can get one for $100-$150 in either Market Place or eBay). Plus, there is work in progress for an Android port for it. I would suggest the TP2 but it goes into the $200-300 range.

what do you mean bed esn and 'fix it'
i found one on ebay for 150 witch is pretty resonable im still looking tho it says for parts only due to bad esn but it says it works 100 percent but cant be activated with sprint what exactly does this mean
or a perfectly fine one just outta the repair center for one sixty i only have twenty soo i guess i need to keep savin
ok i found out what esn is and it apperntly very hard to fix and sometimes cant be fixed darn ohh well i just save for one with a good esn
Check craigslist and get an Vogue/ppc6900.
Whatever you get, make sure it runs android from NAND.
I had a TP2 and mogul and ran android from SD
and it kills the battery to make it not worthwhile.
The ppc6900 I have though, runs android from nand and
it's like having a baby EVO. (i haven't had any other android phone
such as the moment or hero to compare).
I got my vogue from craigslisth for $50 with charger, manuals, data cable,
and extended battery+cover. I'm glad I did.
having a keyboard is useless if you don't have battery life.
I'm looking to get an evo with bad esn, even if it can't be repaired yet.

alot of people have been returning the evo mainly because of the size. plus 4G isn't all that great right now. if your going to get a 4G phone then wait till 4G is everywhere like 3G. i got the hero for 79.99 with new contract and i couldnt be happier! rooted with a custom rom and overclocked to 728... this thing is badass!
