I'm with T-Mobile and am thinking of upgrading from my MDA Compact lll to the MDA Compact lV. On youtube, someone is demonstrating a Sprint version of the diamond which doesn't have the bevelled back to it, it has a smooth back and is thicker than the diamond.

The pictures on the T-Mobile site show the same back as the sprint so it's obviously the sprint they're selling.
What are the functional differences between the two, and how much better is the MDA compact 4 from the MDA compact 3?
Has more RAM/ROM, Touch Flo works much more smoothly, no front vga camera, has bigger battery. I think that is it.

Thanks. It would help if you told me which has these things, the sprint or the non sprint?
The sprint version has those things
BUT the sprint is CDMA, and no locale of T-mobile is CDMA.

Thanks for the clarification, so the sprint is generally better than the slimmer HTC diamond is that right?
Not sure exactly what CDMA is but is this referring to 3G?
You're saying T-Mobile doesn't do 3G?
Almost all cellphone carriers are 3G. CDMA is the standard used by Sprint and Verizon (and some others), GSM is the standard used by AT&T and T-Mobile (and some others including most of the world lol).
Yes. Most of the world still uses GSM, but that doesn't make it better. GSM still uses TDMA-like technology, which severely limits it's capability. That's why you get such slow data-rates and low capacity. In fact, the newer "GSM" standards are migrating to CDMA technology (although that doesn't make it compatible with CDMA networks). I know, it's confusing.

Exactly, hopefully the rest of the world adapts to CDMA sooner rather than later. A global standard of CDMA would be nice for them and for me ;-)
Thanks. Btw, apparently the MDA Compact lV is not the sprint after all. Someone informed me that most of the carriers for some reason seem to replace the back with a smooth one. That's a pity, considering the sprint has a bigger battery life.
Does anyone know if my Artemis battery would fit into the compact lV? It's an ARTE160, 1200mAh made by Sanyo. It gives me great battery life.
Tmobile isnt selling the "sprint". T-Mobile sell the Compact IV, it is different from the Diamond by having a smooth back, different styling and is slightly lighter. There are no other differences.
T-Mobile Mda compact IV
As far as I know MDA Compact IV is exactly the same thing as HTC Diamond in terms of hardware. MDA compact IV is actually HTC Victor. (Different countries different names)
The battery is the same also, 900mAh.
The only thing people say is that there are not 192 megs of ram but 128 accessible to the system.
Actually, T-Mobile sell the HTC Victor, which is essentially the Diamond in a different case. I believe this can be purchased in Asian markets but not European ones.
I believe only O2 (in the UK) sell the Diamond (and it is the Diamond, not the Victor!) with a flat back. I know Orange sell it with the bevelled back and I 'think' Vodafone do too.

Now I'm confused, but only a bit
If the O2 Diamond has a flat back case, and the T-Mobile Victor is 'essentially' the Diamond with a flatback case, these are exactly the same phone just different names or there is some other minor differences apart from the cases? I'd not heard of the HTC Victor and cannot find anything mentioned about it on the xda-developers page which shows names and pictures of all their models.

I wonder if you managed to get it from him ... as auction was closing the next day ... ? Which one were you after? The Kaiser or the iphone? I have a kaiser - mint condition and am thinking of upgrading to the Iphone - haven't found a decent iphone discussion forum yet - but will definitely be selling my TYTN II as soon as I do ..
iphone sold.

How different could the international build be from the usa version?
For some reason this mugen case doesn't support the usa version. I want to get the extended battery 2600mah and this is the only decent case for the phone.

I would like to buy powermat for HD2.
I do not know, if the USA Powermat for USA HD2 is compatible with my HD2, which I bought in EU...
Can someone please advise me about that?
What do I need to check before buying it?
Thanks for answers
I can order the HTC Rapid Charger 2.0 from their website, but have you seen any stores selling it yet?
No sites that I know of. I really want to find another site because HTC.com is $35 and I want one cheaper.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
I don't mind the $35. I want it. I just don't feel like ordering on the web and waiting to get it if I can get it today.
Best Buy doesn't even sell HTC branded stuff in their stores.. I'm going to try a Verizon or Sprint store today.
yes i found it here in egypt in un official stores , and a store called zain , and i think virgin too but i am not so sure about virgin , but it's damn too expensive

Missed it yesterday, they were selling it on HTC.com for 50% off. Tuesdays they've been doing these hot deals. Most of the time it was 50% off accessories.
I've bought it on HTC UKs website, 15W.

Cant seem to find them on HTC´s Portuguese website. WE have a different power connecter than USA or UK.
Anyone knows where I can find one?
Cheers
