hmm.. no front LED's.. are they not on the Diamond 2?

What tmobile priceplans do you think this phone will be on?

It's ugly. I like the original more.

Dude - that is NOT T-Mobile's website, and those are NOT high-res pics of the MDA anything. They are wishful thinking - and while they are great looking renders, no one on here should believe they are anything otherwise.

A case of Humble Pie me thinks!!

I stand corrected.

Phoned yesterday to T-Mobile Germany. Release should "KW 21".
Costs should be around ~150EUR with "Max Relax M Friends".
Just some infos from the guy on Hotline, nothing official.

Got mine today in the Netherlands.
Pictures are correct.
Coming from a HTC P3300 (Artemis) it is a lot faster
And the place for the micro-sd card is a lot better. Don't have to remove the battery and SIM anymore

I've got mine now for 2 weeks already and I must say: "Perfect Phone"
Only major differance is the T-Mobile TF3D home screen.
From the outside I think the T-Mobile version is way better than the standard HTC version. But hey, everybody has a differant tast, luckelly

Got my MDA compact V (NLD) yesterday.
Really disliked the logo beneath the screen, so I removed the plastic part, sanded the clearcoat and logo from the part (900 grain sandpaper) and airbrushed it again with clearcoat, much better!
(BTW there are 2 screws beneath the logo-part in case you want to dismantle yours, the logo-part is only stuck with double sided tape).
Also the T-Mobile branded ROM is quite ugly, luckily I could use a goldcard* to flash it to 1.40.707.1 WWE, much and much better!!
No more pink splash-screens, and no skinny click.
(*goldcard was generated with QMAT)

Just got a call from T-Mobile UK asking me to upgrade - basically wanting to keep my custom. They offered me a new phone or a tariff reduction by £15.
I enquired about the MDA Compact V and they said it had just come in last night but they only had 100 and all of those had sold out already. They are getting another shipment tomorrow so I should have it by Saturday or Monday.
I am hanging on to my 12 month contract for dear life. A new phone every 12 months for free on a £35 contract. Not to shabby I guess. Hopefully my next upgrade should coincide with tegra/snapdragon phones with windows mobile 7. Please MS don't delay any further.

I almost soiled my underoos when I saw this phone. Looks a lot nicer than the original htc version. too bad for the t-mobile logo splattered on it.

Hello,
I got the T-Mobile MDA Compact V (Dutch) for a week now. Can anybody tell me how to activate the Transcriber-software?
Or do I have to do edit the registry for this to show this option?

New Member here, From edinburgh :D

Hello there guys, I searched the forum and can't find any section/topic/stickie for new members to introduce themselves so I thought I'd start a topic here saying hello.
Deed-elvis here, (AKA Laurence in Real life ), I currently possess an HTC kaiser, Which I've owned for 2 Years after buying brand new, As well as a recently acquired, second hand, Sony Experia X1. And what Started me rolling is a now defunct Imate Jam which kept ended up constantly Hard resetting itself. Currently I'm in between The X1 and the kaiser as my main phone of choice and The reasons for this will be made clear in the not to distant future on these boards
I've searched XDA Devs every so often for Little titbits here and there before, Like the slide2unlock app, And I also had the kaiser in bits not just once, but twice in order to replace the touchscreen. What Had happened was that I bought the device when it came out in 2007, however after flying back from Amsterdam to Scotland not long after I bought it, The Screen cracked & Expansys Weren't willing to replace under warranty . SO I kept the device as something of a Dust gathering paperweight whilst I reverted back to my Imate Jam. it wasn't until 4 months later I found that they were retailing appropriate screens on Ebay. Once i had the screen, I googled around Like crazy for methods of stripping down the kaiser. I found one and got to work:

The second time (around the end of last year) I slipped on a small rocky outcrop and my kaiser took a dent to it's front casing, afterwards, the Kaiser screen that I had replaced lost a bit of touch calibration as stylus taps were being recognised totally out of position. so I replaced it again.
Also the confidence from doing this has led me to "attack" other broken electronics. For Example, i had a Canon SD600 Point and shoot digital camera that I took on a ski holiday and cracked when I fell on my arse trying to look graceful on 2 planks ( it was in my back pocket), so without even a manual or even googling. I ordered the appropriate LCD screen and Went about replacing that as well:
And that now works too the experience with both of these has taught me a great deal about how modern Electronics are designed and put together
Also I realise that the Kaiser Has it's its issues with Image processing (AKA redundant graphics processor ) through HTCclassaction.org. but It was through there (and loads of movie format experimentation) that I managed to get wind of corecodec's coreplayer and turn it into a movie and podcast playing powerhouse with the added benefit of a 16GB microSDHC memory card (as well as an Audio adapter that can only be found on the far echelons of Amazon and Ebay, and not locally in the UK ) :
The Kaiser was, and still is, very good to me for reasons that I will go into in future postings where I will compare and contrast with the X1. I also intend to take the Kaiser on installing custom roms so I'm still doing a lot of reading on SPL's and hard resetting, I'm not gonna dive in and ask questions willy nilly without looking at or searching out stuff that's already been posted.
But currently, the Kaiser is in "rude" health

let me be the 1st
welcome

second! welcome nice post lol, ive changed my e65 (nokia) case.. you can find good videos about how to do it, its a really nice experience (if everything works offcourse XD)

Oi welcome here laddie!!! You certainly sem to kow your way around electronics. I too, am a huge Kaiser (TyTN II) fan. I have had mine for almost 2 years now. I still have my imate K-Jam (hence my nick) and my Nokia 3650. All three are in almost pristine condition because I am a stickler for looking after my thinng. I have always carried my phones in their cases etc.
Anyway, welcome again. This is an amazing forum full of very useful and interesting stuff. Some people here are geniuses and very helpful, and some, alas, are not so helpful. Some are downright rude, so just ignore those. There are enough of us here that are willing to help anyone without being nasty.
On a separate note, you are indeed very fortunate to live in Edinburgh. It is my dream to go to the Edinburgh Tattoo one day!!!
Regards,
MAC

Thanks for the welcome folks , here's to many more contributions between myself and these forums from now on

Back into the IT thing
Hi all,
Welcome Elvis! I just started today, after getting a tytn ii phone. I studied IT and worked with various computer businesses, way back in the day, about 9 years ago and made a career change... be a mum... so when I got this phone, it was... whoa, I have to remember all the programming, gadgetry, etc which I faintly remember from before. I use to program in C, but man, I need a revamp! This site is awesome, and I am just buzzing that there is such a community out there, supporting each other without any expectations (however, donations are a kind offer of your appreciation, and I support this whole heartedly, so when I get some money, I will donate as much as I can! for reals!!). Now thats cool! Once I get my game plan on, hopefully I can add something useful to this site.
Just wana say cheers to the xda team here, and all the contributors, its an ingenious and helpful site.
Bring down all the monopoly hoggers out there...
And to all the noobs in here (me included), dont give up.. its not rocket science, seek and you will find!
Take care and God bless yall.

Welcome
Awesome not replaced screen yet and am dreading it lol, mines got red specs where crack in screen but keeps soldiering on

Worst phone you've ever used?

Doesn't matter how old. What was the worst, and why?
For me:

The Ericsson A1018s.
Why?
For one simple reason - the keypad. Holy mother of all that is holy, the keypad on this phone SUCKED. It was virtually unusable, typing a message would take an eternity because the keypad felt cheap and awful and the input was SO SLOW it was unbearable. It'd take forever for characters to appear on the screen and half the time it wouldn't even recognize your touches. It was one of those scenarios where you would press the button harder and harder til your fingers bled even though it made no difference.
Thank god I don't think I actually owned this phone myself, believe it was my dads for a time who only used it for calls.
The aerial was probably the biggest I'd ever seen on a phone pre-2000, but was kinda cool. It had a sharp point at the bottom of the aerial if you removed it which you'd never get through airport customs in 2010.
This would have been a cool little mobile if it wasn't for the keypad. They even gave you 3 coloured clip-on fronts.
This phone was also called the 'coca cola' phone to some people as I believe Coke had a competition to win this phone on collecting a million ringpulls or something.
A girl I quite fancied bought one after her Motorola got stolen too, it took her years to reply to my texts which made it frustrating to flirt with her even though I had a usable handset myself! Very unfair!
So f**k this phone! What's your worst?

SmS2 ... coincidentally i happen to have used exactly this one...and it was also my Dads passed on to me when i came at the age of using mobile which was 18 yrs at that time ....
but considering the time it was launched..it was a nice phone... with some cool features..
One thing i still remember is that it had the option of switching to line 1 and line 2 even when their was one SIM slot...may be operators that time thought later on thay would provide this option on a single sim
Even the antenna used to work when we removed the extension and i the add on tacky Vibrator had to be purchased separately
Why i liked it...i cud be used as a brick at the time of emergencies

LOL - I kind of have a soft spot for it too. I like all of the oldskool GSM phones really, very durable and, well, phonelike! Motorola M3788 was my first, probably the easiest 0-9 keypad style phone for texting I ever had. Could never see myself going back to one of those though now I'm spoiled by Qwerty, Swype and the like.
Simpler times when the only worry you had was how the HELL you'd afford to keep the thing topped up. No worrying about compatibility, roms, OS's and all of the other stuff we've become accustomed to needing!
Wait a minute, I bought an HD2 for an easier life. BRB - checking my attic.

All my cellies b4 da G1 sucked lool. Specially maa Razr.

Luckyly I did not buyed and sold after 2 days usage

Really can't put into words how bad it was.....

iPhone or more like iPhail.....

for me - iphone

it was also the iphonie for me.

Reception was awful and it weighed a tonne!!

We still have one of those Ericsson A- series same one as the picture! All boxed with everything. Branded: BT CELLNET. But it doesnt work

Looks pretty cool. I would get one if i had the £445 for it
Maybe in the near future aayyyyyyyyyy

fancy. where can i get one?

I'd love to get one of these true mini-computers (I like to think of my Rhodium as a mini-computer but until it runs regular desktop Windows it will always be somewhat limited).
However, I absolutely hate the way the mouse is setup on most of these kits. Usually there seems to be some kind of minuscule trackpad on one side of the screen and mouse buttons on the other side. I see the mouse buttons on this one, but where's the track pad? Is it that diamond shaped thing on the top left? If so I cannot imagine that the mouse on this thing would be even close to usable.
What I really want is a trackpoint/nipple mouse like the ones on Lenovo Thinkpads. I think Sony produced something like this, but it was absurdly expensive (~$800).

You are referring to the UX series UMPC. Beautiful device (when you install XP on it). My only complain is the keyboard has recessed keys (think of the Motorola Razr), so typing is difficult as hell.
I very much like the one that the OP has posted though. It does look somewhat like the Rhodium

Actually this is what I was thinking of:
Sony Vaio P
Both nice looking kits

The middle one kinda looks like the Uni

Don't get that sharp one, whatever you do. It's a nice machine, but I sold mine after a month because you get about an hour of use out of it(of battery), now I have a viliv s5 and love it. Sony ux was good, never had one, but loved playing with one at the stores

I ended up getting an Acer Aspire One A150.
Got it off a friend who has no idea on the price of electronics...
as a result, i got it for £20
Still might get one of these ULTRA portable netbooks sometime in the future though

£20?!!? niiiiiiice!

Viliv S5
Any other Viliv users here? I want to ask about GPS navigation software for the S5.

Ordering one next month! ..

Yuck... although I like the concept of small portable computers... the reality is usually too much eye strain and inability to do perform "normal" computing tasks.
The smallest I want my computer to be is my netbook... which usually sits collecting dust on my night stand.

Wow people these are so cool! I haven't even heard of antly of these. So awesome. I have to have one now.

Nice had one myself last year. Sold it again after using it a year for $200
If you tweak it a little you'll be able to play GTA Vice City on it San Andreas will also run, but you won't get 60 FPS.

My desire of Android...T-Shirts

I want to start up an Android Themed T-Shirt printing company. I could use some support from our community. I have written an "About me" so check me out! Its not finished but will be fully completed with a picture timeline in the near future.
Mod edit: Info removed.
About Me...Take a seat
Im all about android, since you are reading this I’m willing to bet you are too. From a Motorola Brick to a Samsung Galaxy Gear, I’ll show you how I fell in love with android. Sit back and relax as I lead you on my journey…. I recently searched for T-Shirts, hoodies, jackets, anything that I can wear with an Android based design. My results netted almost none at all. I found maybe one or two t-shirts. I was pretty disappointed that I could not walk to classes at The University of Kansas wearing something I supported so much. Here is my story.
My first phone was a brick from Motorola at the age 14. My mom placed my first phone on my birthday cake so I immediately thought it was fake. I remember thinking it couldn't be merely anything but a hollow dummy phone. To my surprise it was heavier than what I had expected. That birthday marked the long nights of playing snake.
At 15 my second phone came into my life. It couldn't just be any phone though. It had to have a color front LCD screen and play polyphonic ringtones. My mom and I settled on Kyocera. A flip phone on virgin-mobile. This phone served all a teenager's needs at the time. With this phone I was introduced to Java given the web browser. At the time there was absolutely no development from a 15 year-old’s standpoint. I was simply happy could browse Myspace on my phone.
When I was 16 everyone in high school had the Motorola Razr (today's IPhone) but I wanted something different. I wanted something just as good and just as slim. I could afford it since I started work at a Sonic nearby.... Making $5.15/hr plus tips I was basically rolling in money. 220 dollars later I ordered the Samsung A900 aka "The Blade" from eBay. It was dope at the time. It had front facing speakers, music control buttons, and a rotating camera. I’m just realizing it now but was the first selfie phone. :cyclops: To stand out I wrapped the phone in a money skin from ebay. I was pretty much the cool kid on campus.
While I was around 17 years old I bought my first smartphone. This also might be my first time finding xda, I joined in 2008. It was the HTC Vogue aka The Touch. It was my first ever touch screen phone and it had windows! I was amazed I could simply copy and paste files just like my computer and it only had 3 buttons. With unlimited texting/data and my Acura Integra I was living the life of a teenager.
18 years old I was still working at Sonic but now as a shift manager. The pay was great for my age while still living with my parents. Once my upgrade came along I decided to get another HTC. The Touch Diamond. All I ever wanted. It was a windows phone, it has a pretty good camera, AND it had a gyroscope built in! Now I can brag to my friends about this awesome game where you can tilt the phone in order to roll a ball through a maze.
Onward came the Motorola Droid. At this point I was 19 and recently accepted into the University of Kansas studying Mechanical Engineering. I remember sitting in English 101 discussing a topic about how technology has shaped us. The guy sitting next to me noticed my Droid on the desk and brought it up to the class. He said “His phone is basically a computer. He has a keyboard, he can send and receive email, and use the internet. The best thing about it is he can fit it in his pocket.”
