mda compact iv
had me mda compact iv for 1 week! ordered from tmob and got delivered on monday 14th july
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 ...
Ordered Diamond2 today £6.99 on a £30 X 18Month T-mobile 400min + 400txt + H Unlimited Data)=£547 ish will add another £5 for webNWalk Max about 320kbs in my area
Been sent a order dispatch date of 10th April so it looks like we a week early start

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?

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.

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.
How lucky am I today? I'm going to pick up a brand new HTC Diamond (T-Mobile Compact 4) for free.
Back in january I was told my upgrade for the Diamond would be £175.
I currently have the MDA Compact 3 (HTC P3300) which I still kinda favour over the diamond or any new phone mainly because of the roller ball and wheel which I've gotten used to. My P3300 has a rebooting problem during calls so I rang HTC support today and they said it could be serviced if it's still under the 2 year warranty. I found out my warranty expires on the 15th so that's lucky! So I needed a phone to use while it'll be at HTC in milton keynes and was just gonna go and buy some cheapo phone from argos. I rang T-Mobile and enquired on the current price of the Compact 4 (HTC Diamond) thinking it would still be about £175. They tell me it's discontinued and they're awaiting the diamond 2 (MDA compact 5). That would cost me about £80 but the compact 4 would be free but none in stock. So I rang a couple of T-Mobile shops and one shop has 1 in stock! So I'm going to pick it up now and it's free. \o/ Then I'll send my Compact 3 to HTC, and that will be free service too.
So, drinks are on the house. Order anything you like
Good stuff mate.
Just remember that you are entering into a new contract, most likely 18 months. Do try and negotiate a discount on your line rental, mobile companies are desperate for custom with the credit crunch!
Also, get them to chuck in web n walk for free if you can.
Actually, my nephew works for T-Mobile and I've had an employee call half price discount for years. So I pay £15 a month for web 'n walk and flex 25 package which is 5 hours free talk time (or £60 allowance). I never make enough calls to go over my 5 hours, or very very rarely. I told you I was lucky, lol.
Yep, I've always had an 18 month contract. I rang HTC again and they said if there are scratches or dents on the old phone they may not honour the warranty and mine has small dents in each corner. Actually, T mobile told me my warranty is 24 months, till 15th june, but HTC just told me that the manufacturers warranty is 27 months, giving me till 14th august. Anyway, I think a new battery from amazon.co.uk may solve my P3300 problems.
Ahhhhh yes. The old, and the new.

Hello guys.
This is a complaint against the fraudulent Chinese shop www.pandawill.com
I am posting this because I am fed up with these guys.
This is the video I uploaded regarding the matter.
A warning to all - Stay away from the fraudulent www.Pandawill.com Chinese shop
It is somewhat long and am not expecting you to watch it, but some hits wouldn't hurt.
To give everyone a more condensed idea of what's going on...
- August 12th I ordered the Pipo S1 Pro tablet for my niece, with specs, RK3188 (Quad Core @1.8Ghz), 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, 7inch IPS screen
- We received it about a month later
- It worked fine for a very short period of time
- I sent it back on October 4th
- This is the video I made after their request
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xqaHwveyE
- It arrived to them on October 23rd as you can see in the first video and they said it needs 3-5 weeks for repair
- November 16th I send them an email asking for an update of the situation
- December 5th they offered to send me a USED ****ty DUAL CORE @1.3Ghz tablet as a replacement
- December 12th they told me that MY repaired tablet arrived but it's still broken and that it is going AGAIN for repair (another 3-5 weeks)
- December 19th they told me that they are willing to send me a repaired Pipo M9 Pro with BETTER specs that they one I bought. Thought they just were coming clean finally.
- December 22nd they say they will send it in 2-3 days
- December 29th they say that there was some job "mistake" and they will send it in another 2-3 days
- December 30th they say that the tablet is broken and ask if I wanted another one
- December 31st they offer to send me a DUAL CORE tablet AGAIN after I specifically told them what I wanted
- January 5th they offer to send me a RK3188 with 16GBs storage, that is a little better than the one I bought
- January 9th (the day I made this video), they told me that this tablet is ALSO BROKEN.
Hence I held my promise to God, that I will expose them.
And that is the CONDENSED version.
So what do you guys think? Seriously. Are these guys for real?
As I say in the video, the worst part is that this tablet was not mine. I got if for my niece and my cousin (her father) paid for it. As you can understand I am deeply ashamed with all this situation.

Honestly I don't blame you but seriously who buys directly from Chinese merchants? I would put some barrier like buying from Amazon. At least there you get some assurance you will get your money back. And I am wondering how much you spent? For $99 you can get a quality Kindle Fire 6
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
You buy Chinese, you buy problems.
Wow, i understand your anger.
Let's complain against Peyvandha.ir!
no warranty
i buy waterproof phone doogee dg700 titns2 . dont pull in water . after 30 days phone dead (memory\motherboard). dont load after logo . but screen is good i send it to china pandawil (shipping 30$!!) after 40 days panda say - you use phone on rain - no warranty . you must pay 80$ for new SCREEN and motherboard!!! amazing! hate this shop !
just share or post your you tube video on their twitter or Facebook fan page, they will respond you soon. xD
Tell them what you think
I'm having the same experience with Pandawill, your story is similiar to mine!
I've ordered Nubia Z7 mini at November 2014.
on February 2015, the phone was broken and sent to repair.
on April 2015 they had told me they giving it to the factory for repair.
on May they told that it's back but it's still broken so they're sending it back to factory.
an June they told me they will send me Lenovo Vibe x2 instead. I agreed.
on July they told me the Lenovo is broken and offered to send me some very old phone (Star S1) !!
I really don't know what to do...there's no one to speak or complain... I swear one day I'll travel to Shenzhen and knock the heads of all those companies - Pandawill, Ali Express, coolicool and more...
one day!!
Not sure why this thread was revived but....
Lets keep the company bashing for Google reviews and not XDA please
