Victor Availability

[ThinkTankInk]

Hello,

I put this in this forum because the Victor is basically the same as the Diamond and if anyone knows I figured it would be you guys.

Basically, does anyone have any information on where/if the Victor is available at this time? Or if there's any information as to whether it will be released in Europe (UK preferably)?

I think this one is nicer looking than the Diamond which I've had a play with an like the functionality of.

It's basically so I can whittle down my choices between a Victor, Touch Pro or Samsung i900.

Victor=Diamond!

Ermmm thats because the Victor is the Diamond:D..it just a codename for the device unless im mistaken. The Victor is exactly the same as the Diamond but with a different back...it doesnt have the diamond back like the Diamonds come with.

CDMA hint. hint...

The Victor looks different to the Diamond. I prefer its looks.
Different shape, no diamond design on the back. Smooth.

If we're stuck with just the Diamond, then I'm a bit turned off it, to be honest.
It's functionality is okay. And I can buy one from work for less than £400. But I... just don't like the look of it.

Hmmm it does look quite nice, more smoother than the diamond. If im not mistaken i think Tmobiles offering of the Diamond might be similar to the Victor but im not 110% sure about that though.

Plus as Gsmsecure said above, its probably a CDMA device which wouldnt be any good for the UK...it might be destined for the American market though...

I don't understand the CDMA. Is that something which can be bypassed with a flashed ROM?

[tomchap]

Yeah the Victor looks like its the tmobile variant of the diamond, see here

I thought about it and it does look nicer, but i was too impatient so went for the diamond instead.

Looks like its being released as the MDA Compact IV and only a few more days to go!

** EDIT more likely a few weeks, it was 30/06/08 but looks like its been put back a bit to the 07/07/08

My birthday. Bjork tickets and a 'Hail' Victor? Sounds like a winner!

It looks the same buth it has a different scroll wheel or d pad. I like that because i'm not comfortable with the one on the diamond. when I want to scroll right or left it allways stops a program or starts a phonecall.

So I would like to get a VICTOR buth I am not sure. Will it work in Europe?
Does anyone knows where to get one?

CDMA is a way of radio signaling for shared use of airwaves. GSM is the another method used in most of the world, but the USA and a few other countries use CDMA (actually, Verizon & Sprint in US use CDMA, while AT&T and TMobile use GSM). In any case, it requires different radio hardware (and no SIM chip), so a CDMA device can not be made to work on a GSM network and vice-versa.

[Telvin_3d]

Actually, there are a couple big differences between the Diamond currently released and the one due in North America. Telus (Canada) has released the specs (http://wmexperts.com/articles/htc_diamond_cdma_specs_reveale.html) for their verion of the Diamond. It includes an extended battery (1340 mAh) and 256 RAM instead of 192 as well as being CDMA.

Actually Victor is the GSM version but it has only 128Kb RAM vs. 192Kb in Diamond.

See http://www.slashphone.com/htc-p3702-victor-unboxing-photo-gallery-13880 for details.

And you didnt read the link you gave properly, some one had made a comment with this link http://www.htc.com/tw/product.aspx?id=46930 Victor and Diamond have 192ram because the devices are the same..and notice that when we speak about 192ram the video chip in Diamond use 64ram so then you have 128ram left

[dtosun]

I have Victor which model name is P3702. Everything is same with diamond. Main differences are design size and weight. Victor is low weigh than diamond. Victor is 98g.
