To my surprised. Diamond has a twin brother, and his name is Victor.

No word yet if Victor comes with Micro SD card.

They are the same apart from the casing, just different ODM/OEM version for different markets

The Victor looks like the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV varient

Indeed but they have different structure of hardware keys (between HTC & T-Mobile).

[imranbashir_uk]

Yes, that are swapped! i wonder why?

I guess we shall never know...

Well, in the demos I've seen, people have smashed it against things, and it hasn't shown any signs of damage. I think it's designed for rough use - it has toughened glass protecting the screen, for example...

The bit that will scratch is the back as there are only a few points it rests on, when it vibrates it will move along the desk / counter / surface it’s on, and therefore scratch the back.

That problem shouldn’t be as bad on the T-mobile variant. Also the T-Mobile variant is a lot more understated. Think Dell XPS vs Dell Precision laptops. Same innards but ones for the gaming market with flashing LEDs the other for business.

At the end of the day though no point in arguing, as everyone has a choice just go for what you prefer the most.

The victor is the cdma diamond afaik.

EDIT: yep i was right. pic attached.

Wouldn't that just wear down the few points that it rests on though? That would reduce scratching, as most of the surface is not in contact with anything. My Touch rests on just two small lumps near the bottom of the back and a single point further up the back (I suspect it's some part of the camera) and it has no scratches.

Here is a video showing how durable Diamond really is. It is one tough cookie.
