HTC P3702 (Victor AKA Diamond) Gets Unboxed

[Guest Alex (nedge2k)]

Not rushed out and bought a Diamond (HTC P3700) yet? Not totally sold on it's angular design? Like the MDA Compact IV but not the T-Mo branding or the ugly, grey battery cover? Then allow me to introduce the HTC Victor (P3702)! Whilst it may be slightly bigger than the "original" Diamond, the P3702 has a few subtle differences:

• Different stylus design
• Doesn't sit flat on a desk due to raised portion of battery cover
• Raised d-pad for greater ease of use
• Different button layout
• More "defined" design around the speaker
• Won't fit in the standard Diamond Brodit holder
  

...couple all that with what I consider to be a much nicer, curvier design and what appears to be a nice touchy-feely coating on the battery cover and you've got quite a device! I wasn't 100% sold on the standard Diamond design but this has certainly turned my head! :D

The Victor is out now in the Asian market but it's as yet unkown if it'll head to our shores. You can catch some pics of this puppy being unboxed HERE by "PDA-King".

Ive read that this baby only as 128 meg of ram, not the 192 that its siblings have. :D

WRONG!

(same spec)

[Guest Exodia]

I hope its wrong. But slashphone.com says otherwise.

They have the same pics that were posted in the other link. hmmm

[Guest Alex (nedge2k)]

Well, seeing as Paul actually has a T-Mo branded Victor, I know who I'd be more inclined to believe :D

[Guest Monolithix]

Don't forget the RAM spec is odd, its a normal 128MB+64MB not completely accessible (*looks at Paul for more info*)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

All Diamond variants have 128MB real RAM, and 64MB alongside the CPU I believe.

[Guest Exodia]

Ooooh, i see. :D

Also, if anyone comes across a site selling this, please let us know!

Hi guys

I live in Taiwan and I can confirm the P3702 has identical hardward to the Diamond (e.g. 128MB + 64MB RAM). It's merely a different case design, ala T-Mobile's version, for those who don't want something too fancy (although all the adverts over here are for the Diamond version).

If you're curious, you can view the P3702 at one of Taiwan's largest online stores: http://shopping.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&am...EAA2H-A27237124 (beware, there's a lot of Flash and images on the site, so it may take a while to load). It's the same the price as the normal Diamond (GBP394 unlocked).

Kind regards

It really does look quite incredible. I had no problem with the original design (although I could see why some might), but this design is absolutely beautiful. Great work htc on a quick fix.

[Guest Exodia]

Any news on where this can be bought in the west??

I am travelling out to Taiwan on business next week and am going to purchase the HTC Victor cause I believe that it is so much nicer than the Diamond. BUT I have been told that the ROM does not support WWE and I will have to update the ROM to get English. Would you know if that is the case??

Appreciate any help on this....
