Diamond on Phones 4 U

If anyone is interested in getting the Diamond on Orange just thought I would post this link to a good deal they are doing at Phones 4 U, if you don't mind sending in your bills that is as it's a cashback by redemption offer.

Basically it's Orange Dolphin £35 on 18month contract with 11 months half price line rental via the cashback, so works out at £437.50 over the 18 months and you get unlimited internet :)

wifi is working

gps works got 4 satalite in my office

2 bars in hspda in my office

haven't check if it is sim locked,

msn isn;t there but i isntalled it from a old cab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
Mine arrived at 8AM. :) Very happy, although I think I will be flashing it as the pink ROM is hardcoded - no alternative.

Unlucky for those of you who didn't get the delivery, RM can be a pain. :(

No Windows Live as with all MDA's (and locked like every single T-Mob phone), WiFi is there which is nice although expected. The back could be prettier but I was pleasantly surprised - I thought it had some silver on the front but I was plain wrong, need an eye test I think. I couldn't get any GPS signal indoors at work or at home - not sure what's up there.

They were in stock at T-Mob until about 10AM, I'm told there's very limited stock until August. Hopefully will be proved wrong.

For those of you who have suffered from RM returning the phone to T-Mob, I'm pretty sure they won't be redelivering it to you after 2 days... It just goes back into the stockpile, I think you'll have to reorder. Again, hope I'm wrong on that one though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
disappointed that i'm gonna have to flash the rom to get rid of the t-mob pink and back to the original theme ... just downloading the files now

How comes lots of people claim to work for Tmobile (on this forum and other forums), yet they still give different infomation? IS there more than one "system" for different people?

I'm not doubting, just a little confused.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Devious:
Just been in my local t-mobile shop in Southend and the chap in there says the release is looking like the end of July.

He said its been pushed back due to software problems :(

Just the usual t-mobile excuse then!

Most people who work for t-mobile and give others a releasedate just work in a callcenter. In other words, they don't know anything at all.

Accessories?

Any GPS software bundled? Is the battery still ****?

MDA Compact IV SmartMania.cz results

The ROM version in my Compact IV is

1.28.110.2 WWE (from 9th of May 2008, old testing ROM)

Radio version is 0.93.25.05

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works fine. I hope, than GPS isn´t blocked, but now I don´t know, I will test it. I have only device, not box, not accessories :-( Btw, this unit has only 128 MB RAM chip, my Diamond has 192 MB RAM. After hard reset and TouchFLO 3D activation there is abou 48 MB of free RAM (not too much with compare of Diamond).

The cover of Compact IV is better than Diamond (back cover is lank, Diamond has "triangled" which is not stable on the desk :-( ), and the Compact is a little bit bigger than Diamond (+- few mm). Battery is same as in Diamond (on the battery is title "HTC innovation" :-) ).

I will bechmark both devices (Diamond vs Compact) and give feedback. Btw, speed of Compact IV is same as Diamond (I am using 1.35 ROM WWE in Diamond with registry tweaks (memory, glyph etc.).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] saquib:
Thanks for all that info.

Which country are you in, and how does reception compare between the 2 units?

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerrry:
I am from Czech republic (check my flag in my profile bruhaha). Btw, GPS in T-Mobile MDA Compact IV works fine, Iam trying TomTom 6.03 version and it is good, yepee ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_Ray:
Ugh. I was afraid of that. Too many places have reported it to have crippled RAM compared to the Diamond for it to just be poor journalism. WTH were they thinking???

The Compact IV looks so much better imo. Enough of an improvement to make me forget about the missing 64MB tho? Sadly not.

Sounds interesting. If you are able to (if it doesn't have to go back to them or something) it would be nice to see how they perform with the exact same ROM and tweaks, see if the missing 64MB hurts things under load as much as I suspect it will.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gazzrenn:

T-Mobile MDA Compact IV versus HTC Touch Diamond

Check this article, it is comparsion of MDA Compact IV with the HTC Touch Diamond. Article is in czech, but there is many photos, benchmarks and screenshots.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
Guys, i wouldn't take all this as certainty, this phone is a few months old now. When coolsmartphone were doing their week with the touch diamond theirs only had 128mb of ram and they had an old rom which wasn't as good as the current one. It was well know that the dev "not for sale" units only had 128mb of ram, this is not a sign that the sale versions will only have 128mb.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
Lets hope so, prefer the look of the MDA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jerrry:
Iam think too, than the final version of MDA Compact IV will have 196 MB of RAM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aiwama:
Nasty Magenta

I really love the shape of the MDA; it is rounder and nicer than the Diamond. The only problem I have with the MDA is the nasty magenta/pink/purple colour of its letters and numbers. Is there, in settings, a way of changing the colour to something nicer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Could someone answer this? This is very important to know.

As the MDA is releaseing this tuesday, I need to make a quick decision.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
I couldn't get mine to Sync with my laptop, only my PC, not sure why. I think once the CoPilot trial runs out you just won't be able to load the app at all.

Noticed the YouTube app has been stripped out. On the WNW service though, you can choose YouTube videos and they load in what seems to be a lite version of it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kalross:
RAM? 128MB or 196MB.

Ta.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TDO:
As all diamond devices only have real 128 MB RAM the Compact IV will make no difference.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
All done last night. black theme looks so much better and seems less laggy, although i might just be happy to be rid of the pink

i can't remember what programs were already pre-loaded on the program screen, so not sure what i may need to load back on, but i've now got the diamond versions instead, so you tube app etc.

Also, the internet browser defaults to a htc search screen rather than the t-mob favourites so that's better too imho.

Just watch out for the internet settings in the rom as the t-mob ones don't quite work. just need to make minor changes (user name, password and proxy). did that and it worked fine. got all the instructions, files and answers by searching within the forum so another success for xda-dev :D

on a side note, i get the feeling the battery will be an issue in the longer term. it seems to get rather hot when used for any length of time and i'm noticing the power meter drop under use. then again, the battery is half the physical size of my trinity so hardly surprising.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:

MDA Compact IV is in guys

Hi Guys,

I went today to the T-mobile HQ store in The Hague (Netherlands) and they just got the MDA Compact IV in.

I am currently upgrading from MDA Compact III (P3300) to the MDA Compact IV (P3700)

All I can say is WOW.

T-mobile hasn't slimmed down on anything. You get the following thing in the box:

1x Bluetooth headset for free

1x MDA Compact IV

extra stylus

Battery (900 mAH, 3.7 volts)

Carrying pouch (in grey)

Earphone that also works as FM-radio antenna.

1x CD with both Activesync 4.5 for XP and Vista. It also contains Spritebackup software. I dont know of it is a demo of the full version of it. I have to find out first.

Anyways, tonight after my social life duties, I will post some pics.

I'm happy..... Now it's time to unlock the baby and install some custom roms on it (It's on my own risk).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
i don't have co-pilot after flashing with diamond rom as i think the tie up is a t-mob thing rather than htc. that said, i expect before long someone will pull apart the various roms so you can pick and choose whichever program cabs you want to install from htc and the various operators.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tildesley:
thanks for replying

would co-pilot 6; the old version work on diamond? i have a full version of that already so was thinking just using that instead.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
sorry, i don't know. i've never used co-pilot as i'm a tomtom user and am transferring that over from my trinity

hopefully a co-pilot user can confirm?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mean-machine:
Does it come with Opera 9.5 as the original HTC Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
Didn't get a bluetooth headset with mine. :(

Ah, thanks for the info. Strangely, I can sync my Vario III with both my laptop and PC - I did need to edit some settings on the laptop to get it going though.

Plus I tried to sync Diamond with laptop first, which didn't work, and then moved to PC. Might be another issue?

My TouchFLO does seem quite smooth, not sure why others are not happy? I may try a HTC ROM, but I've never done it before. Battery also gets VERY hot, quite disappointed with that. Battery runs down pretty fast also, HSDPA seems to be the main drain. I quite like the pink though!

It is under 100g also!

T-Mob had 150 more of these today. And will have more in tomorrow. I believe they have ordered extra to try and meet the demand.

With my Vario III sat next to mine on the table, it looks like my HD TV next to my old tube set! Crazy how in an instant I see my (previously) beloved phone in a whole new way!

Oh and yes, Opera is present. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
good morning guys.

Thought i'd just write up what i have done on my MDA, as this thread has been very useful to me (i wouldnt have even known it was out unless i had looked here!)

Ihave flashed the ROM on mine to the Diamond project rom. It was very siomple to do, just make sure you use the Hard SPL from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408621

(I used the 1.23 version)

Don't use the HARD-SPL OLIN, as it doesnt work. (well it didnt for me, just sat at the 0% then timed out)

I then was able to flash the project ROM, took me about 15 minutes to complete

The difference is AMAZING. The speed of the phone is increased 100%, looks much better (no pink :rolleyes: ) and it includes the youtube and MSN applications. Also gets rid of the Opera branding.

I found that just installing the manilla.cab made it even slower.

I really recomend everyone does this, in its original state, the MDA is far to slow, and you wont get the most out of it

RE: the position of the buttons, this ROM doesnt seem to care.

Any questions about flashing the ROM, please let me know
