Will there be such a thing as Harrier Support Forum here. In Canada Telus and various others are now selling this device on CDMA network, not perfect but nonetheless it is here. Officially known as Audiovox 6600 here in Canada. http://www.telusmobility.com/ab/pcs/handset_audiovox_ppc6600.shtml
Thanks
The harrier is a blueangel and thus we have a forum for it.
But is Blue Angel not a GSM device and the other a CDMA device. So none of the upgrades we talk about would actually work?
The radio is different, the Ce rom could be different, i dont know.
The issue is the forum, this is what you asked about.
do a search for harrier in the BA section, check wiki we have the roms and a ext rom unlocktool which works for that device.
will do thanks a lot.

I don't get it.. this is exactly identical to my Audiovox PPC 6600 and yet I don't see it in the list in the wiki for alternate names for the Blue Angel.. nor do I find even one reference on this entire site for "6600" - What's the difference here? Anyone know where I can find information and resources on this device?
Isn't that a CDMA phone ?

PPC6600 is CDMA. Blue Angel is GSM. There are similiarities, but they are quite different internally. The alternate name for PPC6600 is HTC Harrier.
We do talk about them a little here just because there's no Harrier-specific forum.
Currently I use a Titan on the Telus network. With their announcement of the Diamond release which I am going to get, I am wondering if, like the Titan custom Roms, will I need to wait for a Telus carrier cab/oem? Or will the the great developers on these forums have enough information from previous Telus cab/oems?
My worry is that GPS will be locked out again. After reading most of the threads in development the common thread between them all is GSM. Will I be able to use current unlockers and such for the CDMA device? Is there hope?
Yes you can!!!
Hey guys. Just wondering some things here, and can't get an answer anywhere. These same questions are posted all over the web, so please lend a helping hand.
So, there is already one CDMA Version of the Diamond released to Telus, and soon to be Verizon and Sprint. Now heres the question. If I were to buy a CDMA Diamond off the web, one that is used on Telus, can it be used for Alltel, Sprint, or Verizon?
If so, would it be possible to make a ROM to go along with these carriers? I see that there is already a Diamond Kitchen available, so what would have to be done to get one of these phones to work on these carriers? Or is it already possible?
Thanks for any help guys.
I think the rom would not help because it is hardware. Not too sure though.
u can unlock it but alot of good that will do since its cmda you have to give sprint/verizon your esn and they will have to allow your phone for use on their network and as far as i know they dont allow unlocked phones even if its the same model as one they carry since the esns have to be sprint esns. if im wrong someone feel free to correct me.
verizon said they will open their network so when that happens yes you can.
the rest no.
and telus has NOT released the diamond as of yet.
telus is launching this little cdma beauty aug 14th. my question is this:WILL THE CURRENT ROMS AVAILABLE WORK ON THIS DEVICE
sprint will let you activate any phone, they just have to load your esn into there system
You can't use a WCDMA Diamond on CDMA networks because of its hardware.
The CDMA version has got a different hardware for make it work on CDMA networks...
I think that actual ROMs for WCDMA Diamond will work on CDMA version... the software part that controls radio hardware is the Radio ROM.
Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm just reading about this custom ROM stuff.
Now I don't have a smartphone yet and I have verizion. I'm really considering getting an HTC Touch Diamond for $99.99, but if I got it, could I use any of the awesome ROMs on here?
I was reading something about GSM and CDMA differences and got rather confused.
Thanks guys.

Hiya Beaver,
Most the Diamond roms I have seen on here are for the GSM model which is the one useful in many parts of the world (including the U.S. with carriers like AT&T and T-mobile). Verizon and Spring use CDMA which is a different type of radio/signal and is not compatible with GSM. And so GSM and CDMA phones have different types of radios and thus require different software to run them. On some other types of phones such as the AT&T Fuze have both CDMA and GSM counterparts and I have seen software on here for both versions. I'm not sure about the Diamond though.
Maybe helpful,

Hiya Beaver,
Here's a link to the forum with stuff for the CDMA version of the Diamond, but it doesn't look like there's much there. The beauty of GSM is that lots of developers around the world contribute to the development of the software since the GSM version of the phone is pretty wide-spread (though ironically I still haven't found a stable version of WM 6.5 that I really like).

Thanks Durkad, I suppose I'm pretty stuck with verizion. I notice there are some radio threads, they can't help me any can they?
This ROM looks pretty cool but I can't find where to download it

I found the website, there is another site that offers quite a bit of option for CDMA ROMS though it still doesn't come very close to what's offer here in the GSM site.
Here's the CDMA diamond site I'm talking about in case anyone here has a cdma dimaond.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=66
It has far more option than the CDMA forums here.
Again I am requesting subforums for this phone and to moderate it. Please make this possible. Harrier is TOO general, and most people only recognize these phones as "Audiovox Harrier XV6600, XV6601 CDMA"
Reasons -
Phones are STILL being sold as NEW prepaid phones. [I have witnessed this in Chicago last year.]
Support for Sprint, Verizon, Telus, and other CDMA carriers.
Support for users including WM2003SE support and program recommendation and support.
Reviving the Android build that we had been working on for these CDMA phones. GSM Android support is included. We are currently at the keymapping stage with some users accomplishing this. There is a pot prize for this build completion.
Pot prize for completing a working WM5+ build. Users will save data to flash memory instead of on-board dram. Prevents data loss when device suffers from loss of power or drop. Users will be able to access more programs and features including up to date browsers and media players.
List of available accessories that have been owned/approved by XDA users, including retractable data cables, 4GB SD cards, cases, car mounts, GPS SD cards, and more, as well as support for these.
I can devote my time to moderation.
Please, PLEASE make these subforums for us! There is NO OTHER support forum on the net!!!
