[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Paleaos:
OK, finally I managed to order 3 that are being delivered tomorrow.

Check out www.coolsmartphone.com They finally confirmed and gave the game away that these are in.

I called spoke to a guy and told him a friend had ordered his for delivery tomorrow. He went away for 5 minutes (probably checking with someone if it was ok to sell me 3) and then came back and said sorry they're still not available, so I asked for our PAC codes.

2 minutes later he called me back and said "oh sorry, they are not on the main system, but showing on a different part of the system and they have 171 in stock.

Funny that how when I threatened to leave they suddenly appeared!

And this is after, as a business customer, my T-Mobile Business Manager was still telling me August up until yesterday.

They really need to get their act togther and not treat us like mugs!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
Wooohooo nice catch

Have just ordered my upgrade and it will be here by 1pm tomorrow. Only 107 left in stock ... how nervous was i when he was taking his time going through the upgrade process

*under breath* come on ... come on

Phone for free, £27.50 per month including wnw, so £5 per month more than I'm on now, but it would cost £200 for phone if I stayed on that tariff.

How happy am I that I didn't switch to Orange when I was in phones4u earlier today :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
Is that with an 18 month contract?

PS you can change your signature now :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
Yes, I was on £15pm + £7.50 wnw but as that's discontinued I was told the phone would be £200.

For an extra £5pm (£90 over 18 months) I can have it for free so no brainer really

ps signature now updated :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:
got mine ordered and its arriving tomorrow.. along with my orange version aswell...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
Was just coming on to advise that it was in stock. 200 in total, the very first one was mine. ;) Not that it'll make much difference lol. Happy days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamski:
Mine is coming tomorrow too. I phoned TM 45 minutes ago to be told it wasn't in stock and the delivery date was still unconfirmed. Checked here, saw the story was slightly different, so called again and got my order in. The guy said there was around 90 units left and they were going VERY fast (probably to impatient Xda Devlopers........). Roll on tomorrow morning.......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bgood:
Just had a call from T-mobile to say Compact IV was in so it's being delivered to me tomorrow before 1pm - only trouble is I've been looking at the pictures of it today and a colleague has the Diamond from Orange so have had a play with it and I don't think the Compact IV looks anywhere near as nice :(

Oh well will wait and see what it's like when it gets here tomorrow, might not be as bad as the pictures make out, I certainly hope not cos T-mobile are offering the best package from my point of view. Free on Combi 15 with w n w = £22:50 on 18 month contract, so £405 all in :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mb4guns:
Well tmobile is very generous over here. I'm on a 1 year contract for the second year now. Last time i was able to extent another year against the lowest montly rate possible and get the compact III for 60 euro. Now I'm able to extend again same story, compact IV for only 60 euro against 10 euro a month yearly contract.

Case you are wondering why I got such a low price-plan. I can deside to change contract or take a new contract since it's only 10 euro a month. And the contract is flexible, meaning the more I call/sms the less I pay a minute/sms calculated from the beginning of the month. Awsome deal.

Still I'm in doubt:

- compact IV (diamond)

- Vario IV (diamond pro)

- iphone

sucks no one knows when the varioIV comes along, we do know it's comming and that the diamond pro is comming beginning of august.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:
its the same phone its only the home screen and some customisation. that will be different. you can prob stop this but pulling the bat as the customisation starts.

or give it a couple of days and the latest htc rom that is on the htc ftp will be realsed and they will then be exactly the same..

i would like to take some credit for this guys. as i said yesterday when i ordered the orange version yesterday that the t-mob version would be realsed today :)

same happen when i ordered the vario III and the m3100 a coupel of years back :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aidanbree:
Just ordered mine from upgrades.....tomorrow by 1pm!

I was in the Apple Store a few hours ago with a colleague as he was buying the iPhone 3G....just not sold on it!

Looking forward to it....

What do I need screen protector wise?

Cheers

Aidan
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:
if we are lucky a screen protector will come with it :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jones23:
a screen protector should be included in the package.

what is the difference between the mda compact 4 and the orange diamond?

just the Victor vs. Diamond thing ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:
i wasn't aware there was a difference. just the branding and customisation.

but as i am getting both tomorrow i will let ya know :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

I am also on the £15 + £7.50 wnw (Flext 20) and I got the phone for £120 and got to keep the same contract. Should get about £100 for my old Compact, so quite happy with that deal. I never go over my allowance so I am a low user.

They did try to offer me a Flext 40 with wnw for £37pm and the phone for £60! I said no!

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
The Vario IV is due September, at least on TMUK. I have another upgrade due then so I'll probably pick one up and sell on the Compact. I have to admit I really like the front of the Compact IV, with the silver trim, but not the back! It looks pretty dull like all of their MDA offerings. The proof is in the pudding!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
To people who have just ordered the Compact IV as an upgrade:

Did you have to pay delivery?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AhNe:
I just realized, that the tmo diamond was not available everywhere (where everywhere means uk) until today.

If someone got any questions left: I already have the TMO version, mda compact iv that is, from TMO Germany. Mine was Sim-unlocked already and I also flashed another ROM, so I'm not able to answer anything regarding the fugly magenta tmo-rom. But anything else. Just FYI.

I also already sent an Email to Brodit, because they only have a holder for the original HTC version. They couldn't tell me if this holder also fits the MDAcIV, though. Maybe this is interesting for some of you guys...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] coolbeans252:
I had to yes, but you do get a 14 day cooling off period, if you change your mind
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattfn:
Just bought mine on Flext 30 with WNW. Phone was free and negotiated 25% loyalty discount on the monthly cost. So £28.13pm. Did have to pay £6.99 for delivery tomorrow morning but thats ok with me.

Girl said they had about 85 unit left when I called.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattfn:
Let us know when you hear back from Brodit, I'm very interested to know if it is compatable. Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
Does is have 192mb of ram?

Do you know anything about compatiblity with the upcoming Dock and expanded battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
No, free next day delivery and a cooling off period in case i don't like it ... :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
Was told there is a 7 day cool off period. Though I think there is actually an automatic 14 day period for all remote purchases in the UK.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
agh ive been on hold for 10 minutes.... im going to kick off if they have sold out!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] creeky:
Confused

Hi Guys,

Have be following this thread & waiting for the Comact 4. Something strange is going on, If I log on to T Mobile UK via my Ipod Touch the compact 4 is for sale on the web site, But if I log on to T Mobile UK via my Laptop the phone is not there!

Can anyone else try this?

Example of tariff:

Combi 30, 18 months 700 mins & unlimited texts = 89.99
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
phew that was hard work.

Conversation went as follows:

me: hi, i'd like to order the MDA compact IV

her: sorry its not out yet

me: well my 'mate' just rang and got one

her: are you sure it was with t-mobile?

me: yes, i used to work there so i know what im talking about

her: ok, i'll check again... nope sorry we dont have it

me: OK - orange are doing it, so i will just go with them

her: um, hold on a second, let me check with my manager...

her: ok - we do have it, would you like to order now?

wtf? so i have managed to get one, delivered before 1 tomorrow... i wont beleive it until it is in my hand though!!

Flext 50, W&W - free upgrade. no postage charge as they had annoyed me and i have threatened to leave

Creeky - not on the website as far as i can see
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattfn:
Comes up on my laptop just fine, it's the third item after Compact III and Compact III with Co-pilot

Creeky try this link: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/t-mobile/mda-compact-iv/overview/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] creeky:
Thanks mattfn,

Tried your link, still doesnt work, same as the links on 'Coolsamartphone' just get the 'Opps we can not find this page'.

Will keep trying though.

Creeky
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OK!:
I had to pay for postage. Thought it was pretty standard. :(

They didn't annoy me though, got through fast and the girl was very helpful, sorted in no time.

I see it on the website via the provided link That's a pretty shoddy photo on the website. Looks like they Google imaged it or something! Weird because on the press release website they have some real nice shots.

The cooling off period is 14 days I'm sure; it's 7 working days legally.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

Just ordered a

Rubber Case Cover (basically a rubber version of crystal case)

Exim Screen protector

Desktop Cradle Charger with spare battery

Will post some photos of the cradle and cover when they arrive.

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] finesse:
ordered mine as well, what ROM's are you fella looking to flash?

Is there a SIM unlocker avaliable?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] viperone88:
I called earlier and got the a Compact IV for free, but they wouldn't give me the deal you have? I asked him about the loyalty and getting 25% off, he said there is no such thing! I was on a Flext35 with no w&w and paying £35/month. I have gone way pass my original 12month contract.

After some haggling they gave me the Flext30 £30/month with 6 months free w&w on a 18month deal, with a free phone. After 6months i need to pay the £7.50 for the w&w. Even as i asked for my PAC code they wouldn't budge and told me i've got the best deal.

I will be using the web quite a bit, I think the Orange deal with 500Mb may not be enough for me.

Hopefully tommorow before 1PM!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leaskovski:
Well, i got mine ordered just before 8pm. They originally wanted £50 from me for it (Im on Flext 30 + WnW - 25% discount) = £30 Inc Vat a month, but i got them to £20 plus delivery. Maybe I could have got more off of them!?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bgood:
I was referring to the way they have changed the casing, when I originally saw the Diamond months back I loved the sleek black looks and the facetted back and from the pics I've seen of the Compact IV they have ignored all HTC's hard work in styling their phone and turned it into a bland silver grey rounded blob! :(

Like I say I hope I'm wrong when it gets here and it actually looks smooth and sleek instead but it looks doubtful from what I've seen :(

If I do keep it I will of course be flashing it with a different ROM at the first available opportunity to rid it of that garish white and pink T-mobile branding :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
You wont be getting a Diamond, its an MDA Compact IV and it has none of the Diamond styling, see pic above. You could also call the diamond a blank black rounded blob, you could also call it a useless almagamation of atoms, that's opinion though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bgood:
Either you're missing the point or I haven't made myself clear, I will be getting a Diamond it will just be dressed up in a different casing which T-mobile have come up with in an effort to rebrand something to make it look like one of their own, underneath however it is a Diamond.

As you say it is opinion and my opinion is T-mobile have made a great looking product look ordinary, I was under the impression I was entitled to my opinion :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
Its not a Diamond though, its a Victor, it's not like with other phones where it's the original phone which just a little branding. This time they actually designed the phone with HTC, the casings totally different and its 12g lighter IIRC
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bgood:
Ah OK, in that case I stand corrected I didn't realised there had been such close collaboration between HTC and T-mobile.

I still think the Diamond looks better though :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Grrr,

Just my luck I noticed that T-mobile were selling the MDA Compact IV at 9:55 pm! They closed before I got the chance to speak to them.

Anyway I am on the Flext 25 (12 Month) +WnW this adds up to £32.50. On top of this I receive a 50% FnF discount on my line rental so I actually only pay £16.25.

I’m going to be calling tomorrow morning, what sort of deal do you think I can expect to get?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] saquib:
For the people who get their T-mobile Compact IV today, could you please post the ROM and Radio version. I have a HTC Diamond on T-mobile in the UK, and radio reception is really poor, compared to my previous phone, the HTC Kaiser.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fe600:
Hi,

I bought one in Germany

ROM: 1.37.111.3 GER

From: 06/20/08

Radio: 1.00.25.03

And I don't think it's ugly.:)

It's a MDA, not a diamond!

The MDA Compact has no Low Battery Alert, is it normal?

I already added it with SKTools.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
any uk people got theirs yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
still waiting looking at window for postman
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
tell me about it!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schmeichler:
mine does - have the exact same german CompactIV
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I’m looking on T-Mobiles website and cannot see WiFi listed as a feature.

Could anyone that receives their phone today confirm that is does indeed have WiFi.

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/t-mobile/mda-compact-iv/overview/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] saquib:
Really interested in UK version, hopefully may have a new radio!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Erm.. it IS listed..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
Third bullet point down
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
Me too and i live on a new estate where there's still building work going on so i'm looking out of the window everytime i hear anything louder than a car :rolleyes:

oh, you didn't actually mean "tell you about it" :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
no no, that was very interesting!

im just downloading loads of stuff for it, not sure whether i will flash it today - might see how their ROM is first...

anyone know the best picture size for the contact photos? yes, i am busy at work. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
Am i wrong in assuming that the garish t-mob branding will be just one of the themes and that i'll be able to select another theme from the settings?

i've always gone directly for original HTC builds, rather than operator clones before
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
LOL,

I missed that and went straight to the phone features drop down list.

PS, I understand the phone is now out of stock via T-Mobile!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Reports are in..

Comes with pouch, Messenger is missing..

Will report more..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
How gutted am i ... a courier van just pulled up outside and i got all excited only to watch the driver walk passed my house to my neighbour and deliver something to them :(

does anyone know what company t-mob uses for their deliveries?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Devious:
Just delivered...one UK MDA Compact IV!

Battery in..turned on..and it's stuck on the Windows Mobile 6.1 loading screen. Damn!

Just plugged it into the mains but nothings happening so far :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] saquib:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Towserspvm2000:
Yep - see your other thread! ;) or rather :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Devious:

How does phone reception feel? how manybbars on signal?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
still waiting for mine as well. in office
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamski:
Mine arrived at home in South West London at 0900 this morning, exactly 10 minutes after I left for work. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... Going to be a long day waiting to get home and play. Guess it gives me a chance to clear out my Vario III.

Those that have theirs already, early impessions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aidanbree:
Mine arrived an hour ago....Very nice....Just playing now...Not much work going to get done today I fear..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
can you tell us if it is easy enough to get rid of the pink? is it just a .tsk file?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Is the first batch SIM locked?

Is the call and end buttons at the top when compared with the diamond?

What do you think of the back, is it rubbery, does it sit flat on a table, or is part of it raised (camer lens)?

Can you check the battery, what’s the capacity?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
nearly 12 still no phone yet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
i have decided i am not going to get it today.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
still hoping to get it i will ring t-mobile to find out if i not get it untill 13:00
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
can some one confirm its Special delivery via royal mail or some other postal service
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sunr!der:
Got mine since 1 Week.

Its easy:

Hardwarereset,

sofwarereset

install black manila, opera from windows folder , and black htc tsk

-> Black mda
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] :
Special delivery via royal mail before 1pm service. If it doesnt arrive today you should deffinitely get your delivery refuneded as Royal mail will refund it to them. If its because they havent sent it you should get your delivery charge back anyway.

It's still only 12, don't decide you wont get it today thats silly. Normal RM parcels can come uptill 5pm
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Semantic:
Can anyone confirm that the compact IV weighs less than the htc diamond?

Upgrade team say they're not in stock any more :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
12:25 still no delivery :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tildesley:
is there a step-by-step guide to that anywhere at all? sorry i appear stupid :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] selspiero:
so on one has recieved theirs in the last hour?

Think i will be phoning T-mobile in a bit... spoke to our guy on reception and our royal mail special delivery has already be delivered....

grr.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leaskovski:
What?! I never heard of such tosh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
LOL

Can you guys stop playing with your shiny new MDA Compact IV’s and answer a few questions...

I know I know I’m impatient. But hey at least I resisted the temptation to go out and buy the diamond directly from HTC. That was hard work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
ring t-mobile about my phone, he is going to get tracking number for me to find out where my order is.

just spoken to t-mob, they tracked it, and it is not being delivered until tomorrow.

JOKE of a company!!

oh well - its only tomorrow i suppose, been waiting months anyway - so 24 hours wont matter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
- wifi is working fine and connected first time

- seems to be a trial version of Co-Pilot live (I have TomTom on my Trinity so will be using that instead)

- I have 2 bars at the moment which is a little lower than usual, but expect it will pick up once finished charging etc.

- don't know about simlock, assuming it would be

- can't see messenger, but haven't looked in depth

- 3g signal strong

- touch-flo is v cool

- menu look isn't great so will see if it can be changed through settings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
@ idonxda,

Calm down give people a chance to respond, lots of people work and are probably on lunch break. Also you don’t need to ask every individual person. We all get the hint you’d like to know, I’m sure someone will respond just give it some time!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] viperone88:
CANT BELIVE IT!

Just called T-mobile, asked them to check on the delivery status. She told me for some reason it has not gone through and will get it sent tomorrow. After setting up the deal again, guess what OUT OF STOCK!

No idea when will get some more in, no idea when when the shops will have stock.

Really tempted to get my PAC code and off to Orange, the renew deal then gave me wasn;t great anyway!

What shall i do?????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cherryred:
if you use plenty of data then i'm not sure orange is the way to go
