I think we should have a thread just to list everyone who has the phone.
Please Post your network and location (if you haven't already done that in your profile) and what phone you came from.
Please don't post anything else here (questions, answers comments or other stuff) and don't post until you actually have the phone.

rI am told by a reliable and senior source within T-Mobile UK that they are shortly releasing a further ROM Upgrade. Thank heavens for that :wink:
And before everyone says that they have already upgraded etc.. this is of specific importance to:
1 Those who don't feel comfortable puting a different ROM on; or
2 Those like me who use Blackberry which won't work with any radio other than 1.0 and 1.6 (unofficial confimation).
Anyway watch this space because I am told end of June will be
the date. Please also pass on this news through the other fora as a lot of users are posting wanting to know about T-Mobile MDA III updates.
Thanks
J
Thanks for that info - I wait in anticipation.
Do you know any details of what issues the new ROM will address? Does it have WMP10?
MDA Unlocked ?
Jiggy
I notice your signature mentions Tmobile MDA III Unlocked.
Havin just got one yesterday I want to look to doing bloody everything on it.
Firstly, use it a a phone.
2nd - Sync it with my Mailbox on Our Exchange 2003 server which is fully accessible from the Internet. - I' think i understand that to access this server, i need to use GPRS (and also seen how expensive it is - 7.50perMb).
But what/why do i see all this unlocking terminology on these boards.
I assume there are benefits ? if so could you tell me what.
Thanks in advance.

The "Unlocked" simply refers to the phone being either locked to a single provider (E.g. TMobile etc) or able to accept SIM cards from any telecoms provider. If you put a different telecom providers SIM card in your phone it either works or displays a locked message with a request to put an unlock code in.
A great number of supplied Blue Angels (And other XDA type devices) are being shipped locked to the provider who supplies it. For people who are travelling abroad and use foreign SIM cards or people who simply want to swap SIM card for a different provider are stopped from doing so.
This I feel is a very annoying situation as most providers lock you into a 1 year contract if the phone is subsidised and then refuse to provide an unlock code for that year. This is unacceptable and is simply a money generating exercise in these situations (Providers will tell you it is to stop people purchasing the phone and then disappearing with it without paying but they can block the IMEI number of the phone to stop this anyway!)
Hopefully that answers your question and allowed me to have a little rant!
Jiggy
Thanks. Totally agree with your comments.

MDA III Updates/Unlocked
As regards the post quering my device being unlocked - T-Mobile UK will unlock one of its devices for £15 after 1 month's use. They did not make me wait for 12 months (the term of my contract). I happily paid this, as it is a relatively modest amount, compared to buying out the contract :shock:. They are one of the cellcos in the UK who will do this.
On the updates thread I will keep everyone updated. My contact as much as admitted that they view this site as a helpful way of getting the updates to end users. So unofficial Kudos, as always, to xda-developers

So he has worked out were he can download the cabs to install in the T-mobile Ext Rom, think he will be able to download a radio version that is newer?
I can also confirm this as the nice man at t-mobile who assisted me with enabling blackberry last friday told me that there is a patch coming soon., and that we should be informed by service message
MdA III user
LOL and Bump I like your thinking MDA III User . Good to hear from you haven't spoken in ages. You never know they may just about have taken the hint. :lol:
I am one of those high maintenance customers but I spend a fair amount so they humour me!!

Hi,
does anyone know what level the update will go to as I am unsure whether to wait for it or just go ahead and upgrade to 1.40 now cos I really cant be bothered to do it twice if the tmobile one is going to be better somehow :?
Any help would be appreciated
i spoek to t mobile last week while sorting out my mda 3 and they said that they thought the update would be about in september. She said that they were currently doing testing on it before the release.
however, she promised me that when available it woud be published here!

Currently they have the rom i am running.
Keep your eyes peeled for it!
Thanks for the link I have updatred wiki
Any more news on this subject??
T-Mobile have gone silent
My contact at T-Mobile has gone silent on me. Despite voice mails and emails requesting an update on a) what is in and b) release date of an update. Never a good sign :?
Can all T-Mobile customers start bugging them with me as this is the only way to raise the priority of this issue.
We still do not have WMP10 or an updated radio stack (you cannnot use BB connect with anything other than 1.0). Although with the no sound problem on certain ROMs perhaps we should be thankful!
Stength and safety in numbers on this one :wink:
I've been checking this link weekly since this thread began with no joy. Now even the link no longer works! I gues this won't be happening then!
it works
you should go on connect and then mda3 then rom upgrade and download it
I was originally going to buy this through Telstra, (outright not on a plan) but reading over the internet apparently Telstra has false advertising on the memory specs etc?
I have my heart set on this phone, mainly because of the keyboard.. havent seen any other phone have one like it..
Does anyone know a good place to buy this, otherwise I will go through Telstra
I got one shipped from O/S to Australia 2 months ago. My screen is a little funny and requires warranty service. HTC Australia will not have anything to do with it. I have to pay postage to and from Hong Kong for service!!
Keep in mind that the Telstra version works with different bands. Optus, Vodafone and 3 use differend radio bands for their 3G, so if you are planning on sticking with Telstra for the service then get it from them...
Its a wonderful device. I basically havent put it down in 2 months! With a data plan, Google Maps is great. Last month I rocked up at the local Fasta Pasta and saw that it was packed. I fired up google maps, and within seconds I had the phone number to call the place on and find out the expected wait time.
I couldnt find any mention of the memory at http://shop.telstra.com/webapp/wcs/...001&catalogId=11651&productId=81567&langId=-1
but know this: all devices initially reported 256MB RAM until a recent ROM from HTC that bumped the reported amount to 288.
Go grab the phone! And get irritated like me when someone asks "is that an iPhone?" Grrrr.. Never been so insulted and its happened a few times now lol
i bought mine on telstra. no problems to report, but if you buy a telstra phone you'd better be on telstra, because they preload a BUNCH of rubbish!
I decided to get mine from Smooth Mobile.. they have got good feedback from people on the Whirlpool forums.. it is also an unlocked phone so dont get any of the crap that comes when purchasing from carries
Now to read through and through these forums for cabs and such!
if you are on telstra, pm me and i'll give you some links to some USEFUL stuff that came on the Telstra version
Okay, a couple of stupid questions.
1) Does anyone know if Softbank will be using the 850/2100 3G desire like the Telstra version or the "normal" 1900/2100 3G version.
2) I plan on buying the Softbank version as I live in Japan and am getting tired of my iPhone 3GS and it's limitations (even with jailbreaking it). If no one knows what bands the Softbank version runs is it possible to check easily when I have the phone (should be out Tuesday)?
Thank you in advance for the help.
Just a thought, if you live there, just go to the nearest softbank shop and ask?
I live in japan but unfortunately I do not speak Japanese nor do the English speaking staff on the military base know anything more then "It is coming out soon. We do not know the price yet."
Thank you anyway though.
So, I went to their site to check it out.
Guess what, the site don't even mention about which bands they are using, yay... not.
Neither price for that matter...
Kinda sucky regarding on the info that softbank...
Aye, the info softbank releases sucks, as I said the staff at their shop does not even know the price or the plans available for it. They are not even sure when they will recieve a shipment (though the web site says 27 April that may not be the case for this shop).
I guess the only way to really tell would be to get one and open it? Or would I be able to use the baseband version number to tell?
And if I have to open it would someone with a non-softbank one be willing to break their warranty and open theirs? I am guessing not this soon
Again thank you.
Hey before you go "Tis time to crack open the me brand new phone!" on Desire, can't you shoot off a mail to HTC Japan and ask?
If someone, they of all ppl should know imo.
Ah, yes, I forgot that HTC Japan would very likely know what is going on, Thanks mate.
Any time dude
I sent HTC an email about the frequency bands used by the saftbank X06HT useing their website. I will post their reply, incase anyone else is curious.
As a side note, I forgot to mention softbank uses the 2100 frequency for their connection (No GSM, only 3G here) so that is why I was wondering since either phone will work but only the Ausie on will work when I return to the US in about a year.
Getting mine on Tuesday - The shop said they would have stock, but maybe not in the Morning. Glad I was the first to reserve mine on the 1st.
I did not notice the new phone until after the 15th so I could not reserve one but I am hoping I can get one before the 1st.
Forgot to mention, the details for the phone are on the HTC Japan website. Here are the supported channels/frequencies.
国内 W-CDMA方式
海外 W-CDMA方式、GSM方式（850／900／1,800／1,900MHz
W-CDMA is 3G not a specific frequency though if I am reading what I have found online correctly.
I'll be in Japan on Friday for 3 weeks, I'd appreciate if someone finds a good clear silicone case for the Desire on sale over there and post about it here. Thanks
Well. HTC sent me an email back, telling me contact softbank. It is a mute point now because if you did not order the phone before 22 April it will be delayed until end of may . I think I will just order a Google Nexus One and have my mom ship it to me. Thank you all for the help.

As I know,X06ht is available from Softbank Store for a user who sign a new contract with Softbank
I spoke with them yesterday. People who didn't reserve their phone early enough (~1st week June) will have to wait until the end of May to get theirs.
Also, I had a really hard time finding anything to protect the phone with. They have the screen protectors which is good, but no cases. I went for a generic pouch for the time being.

goldcard+offical rom
good luck
I haven't heard a peep out of them. Even phoned them up today to ask and the lady simply told me they have nothing on their systems.
I find it strange as they were always such strong supporters of Android and from the G1 to the Nexus devices. I've seen this, but nothing else to back it up.
Anyone know anything about T-Mobile and if they are simply going to offer it later or they are actually not offering it at all?

Replies on their Facebook page vary from "no info yet" to "we're not going to stock it".
It seems the only way to get it on T-Mobile is going to be through a third party supplier. And none of those are advertising upgrade prices - they all ask you to call.
I'm seriously considering porting my number to a PAYG O2 SIM and then returning to T-Mobile as a new customer.
there's already a topic about this
please search before posting
I'm headed to Munich for 6weeks for work, and I'd like to be able to use my phone while there. But, I refuse to pay at&t obscene amounts of money for local usage. I have the US issued AT&T model, not an international variant (as far as I know).
1: will my phone work with any of the providers there?
2: can someone please recommend a pre-pay provider or plan, or ones to steer clear of? At minimum phone and sms, but ideally with data access.
I also have an htc inspire 4g, whose tiny screen makes me cry, in case this phone won't work.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
When I moved here I used T-Mobile as my prepaid service. Also base aka eplus. Stay away from those two. Super slow. I am now on o2 which I have found to be best of all but I'm not sure if they do prepaid. I'd check o2 and T-Mobile first. Also. What are you doing for work in Munich. If your looking for stuff to do. Shoot me a pm and I can give you some suggestions on where to go.

Thank you for your response!
I was looking at tmobile today, but it's all in German, and Google translate wasn't helpful; I figured I'd go in person when I got there. I'll check out o2.
Have you had any issues with your note2 and the telcos, sms/data/calls?
I'm working in our munich office on a short-term project. I've been checking out travel info sites for things to do. I'll definitely shoot you a pm this week with some questions I have forming.
Thanks again!
