I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (RAPH300) at the moment. When I bought it I thought the formfactor of this device was just the same as the other branded versions. That appeared not to be the case.
Recently I bought a Brodit Landscape carholder for a HTC Touch Pro. It fits the MDA reasonably but far from perfect. This is caused by the rounded edges of the back-cover of the MDA (where the TP has sharper edges, diamond style). Apparently the Portait version of the Brodit holder does not have this issue.
I also found out that apparently the TP back-cover (which would solve my carholder issue) will not fit my MDA.
I have the idea that the exact size of the MDA also differs from the Sprint (RAPH800) version although they have similar-looking back covers.
Anyway, can anyone shine somelight on the form factors of the various versions of our Raphael in order to help the rest of us to select the best fitting accesoiries like:
Replacement back covers,
Replacement exended batteries,
Car holders,
Protective cases
My findings so far:
Touch Pro back cover does not fit MDA Vario IV
Touch Pro Brodit portrait car holder does fit MDA Vario IV well
Touch Pro Brodit landscape car holder does fit MDA Vario IV resonably well (some neoprene stuffing between holder and Raphael backside could solve this, not tried)
I am in the process of changing Fuze Hardware keyboard with unlocked Touch pto keyboard...Also battery door from unlocked TP fits Fuze perfectly.
I'd like to know if there are any physical differences between the Vario IV and the CDMA?
I contacted ZAGG about an Invisible Shield for my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario IV and they originally replied they didn't have one yet, but this morning I received an email saying that their shield for the HTC Touch Pro CDMA was the same...

Can you please post some pics of this?
The Fuze back-cover (battery door) looks similar to the one from the MDA

I'd also like to have this question answered. The CDMA and the MDA LOOK quite the same, but I have read in numerous places tha there are differences (ie. in thickness) between them
The hardware keys are reversec. e.g. the home-button is below the call button on VarioIV, on Touch Pro it is above below the screen. Same for the right side with the back-button

anyne know how i can change my kasier (tmobile vario 3) to black?
via a fascia, does anyone know where these can be bought?
Thanks.
www.cnn.cn should have Kaiser replacement parts in 2-3 weeks, per an e-mail from them after I asked about replacement parts.
I have the MDA Vario III as well and I have damaged the exterior case + I would prefer the HTC OEM fascia.
Any other websites?
I have the T-Mobile MDA Vario II and the T-Mobile MDA Touch have no use for them as I have the kaiser.
T-mobile replaced my Vario II as it was faulty, I used it for about two weeks and then got the MDA Touch.
I want to sell both of them...
The MDA Touch is new used for about a week with a brando screen protector.
Both devices have the standart kit coming with them:
MDA Touch -
Box with cd's and manual
Case
Data Cable
Headset
Power Cable
Spare Stylus
Spare original Back Cover
1GB MicroSD
MDA Vario II -
Case
Data Cable
Headset
Power Cable
Spare Stylus x2
1GB Micro SD
They go between 130 and 180 on ebay, I do not deal with ebay so thats why i am selling them here.
MDA Touch - £150 buyer pays postage
MDA Vario II - £130 buyer pays postage
Please no time wasters.
Hi,
Firstly, I'm new to this forum, so hello to everyone! It looks like a place I'll visit often
I recently bought a 2nd hand i-mate JAMin. I'd never used a PDA/mobile combo before and now I have one I love it! But I've only had it a week and yesterday the screen broke!
I was looking for replacement screens on ebay - I found a company that sold many types of replacement lcd but I couldn't see i-mate JAMin in their list - I emailed them to ask if they stock any and they simply replied "no, we don't". Then I learned that the JAMin is an HTC Prophet and that this is also sold as the "Orange SVP M600" and the "Qtek S200". This very same ebay seller *does* sell replacement screens for the Orange SVP M600!!! - they currently have 10 in stock!
If I buy an Orange SVP M600 screen will it fit my i-mate JAMin, or not?
Same goes for the Qtek S200 ... can I use the screen (or case / battery etc.) from a Qtek S200 in my i-mate?
Finally - yesterday I saw some step-by-step photo instructions on how to disassemble the JAMin and replace the screen. It looks a bit tricky but I reckon I can manage it. However, the written instructions were in a foreign language... does anyone have a link to a good quality disassembly guide? (and can anyone let me know what type of screwdriver I need to undo those little hexagonal screws?)
EDIT: I found this link elsewhere on this site http://www.modaco.com/content/prophet-prophet-modaco-com/240109/changing-you-prophet-case/
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
I emailed that ebay shop again asking if they are sure that their Orange SVP M600 replacement LCDs would not be compatible with my i-mate JAMin since both PDAs are an HTC Prophet inside. This is the reply I got ...
The ribbon colours can be different, so these LCD are not the same.
But we just got in stock lcd for Jamin, so you can order this Orange SPV M600 replacement LCD display screen and make note that this should be for JAMIN and we will pick correct ribbon colour

Does this "ribbon colour" thing fit with anyone else's experiences?
It seems a bit odd that the day I ask if JAMin and SVP M600 screens are the same they suddenly get stock of JAMin screens and they want me to order a JAMin screen by buying a SVP M600 screen and telling them it's for JAMin!
Either way, I'm currently bidding on a different 'spare-screen' auction... if I don't win that I guess I'll order from these guys in the way they've described.

In a word no. See here, you'll see that it's not just the size but the connections as well that matter.

You can't even swop all Tytn 1s with other TyTn 1s because there were at least 4 different manufacturers and they use different digitizer circuits.
Having said all that you can probably get a new one pretty cheap of the net anyway.

Looking to buy the pcb behind the top front call/end call navigations buttons.
I bought a new JasJam shell(said it was compatible with the hermes) for my HTC Tytn but the layout of the buttons and pcb are wider than what can fit in the JasJam shell. I figured other phone pcbs are compatible just in a different form?..
Can someone sell me the need pcb or scarped phone for a fair price?
